Some suggestions of how to set up a writing tutorial
It's a good idea to know how the students going with their writings by telling them to write some opinions about the writing class. I hope I am not doing too bad in this one.
First I would like to say is that English should be the language we use in class since you cannot really understand or speak Chinese. As vocabulary is really an important factor to set up a foundation for good writings, random wordlist or grouped words for a certain topic could be handed out to help the accumulation. Though the lists could be ignored since it's nothing to do with the exam, some scaring quiz could be taken into consideration to draw attention.
Second is to introduce some basic structure which doesn't have to be essay level, but be professional. Love letters, post cards or even dear jack letters could be interesting topics and at the same time, really useful.
Lastly should be practices. No one will gain real skills unless they practice and there is an old saying called 'practices make perfect'. That's really old but definitely telling the truth.
Those are my suggestions. Hope you do have a lot of fun in class. We all love you.
