该板块的话题是“介绍我们的学校”。以Liu Yi回信给Millie为背景，呈现了Liu Yi描写自己的校园和校园生活的文章。邮件中Liu Yi先介绍了他学校的大致情况，然后具体介绍了他学校的各处场所，以及在各场所里参加的活动，再介绍了学校里的老师和同学，与他们之间融洽的关系，最后概括了自己对新学校的感受。
学情分析
1. 学生经过前几节课的学习，已经对本单元的重点词汇（如school, classroom, library等）和基本句型（如This is... / There is/are...）有了一定的掌握，但在实际运用中可能还不够熟练。
2. 七年级学生具有较强的好奇心和表现欲，喜欢参与各种活动，但他们的注意力集中时间较短，需要通过多样化的教学方法和活动来保持学习兴趣。
3. 学生在逻辑思维和语言组织能力方面还有待提高，在进行综合性的语言输出时可能会遇到困难，需要教师给予适当的引导和帮助。
