You can write them down in any order.And then sort them out into an order，which seems good to you.（Some minutes later.） T：Have you collected your ideas and sorted them out？Ss：Yes.T：Good.Now would you please tell me the reason why you think Mr Mandela should be set free？Whod like to be the first one？S1：Let me try.Although Mr Mandela was one of the leaders who called on black people to blow up some government buildings，he had no choice but to do that.He said they broke the law in a way which was peaceful.Only when this was not allowed did they decide to answer violence with violence.T：So you mean the government forced him to break the law，so it is necessary to set him free.Good.Another reason？S2：In my opinion，it is natural for Mr Mandela to encourage violence against anti-black law.At that time，there were a lot of laws stopping the blacks rights and progress.The black people reached a stage where they have almost no rights at all.Black people had no vote and could not choose who ruled them.The parts of town where they were sent to live were decided by white people.They could not get jobs they wanted.The places where they were sent to live were the poorest areas in South Africa.No one could grow food there.As a matter of fact，black people did not like violence.But they knew it was to realize their dream of making black and white people equal.Step 3 WritingT：A good reason.Maybe you have a lot of reasons for freeing Mr Mandela.But time is limited.So lets begin to write the letter.You can write to the President of South Africa like this，and finish your letter like this.Dear President，I am writing to ask you to free Nelson Mandela.Here are some reasons why I think he should be freed.One possible version：Dear President，I am writing to ask you to free Nelson Mandela.Here are some reasons why I think he should be freed.First，it is natural for Mr Mandela to encourage violence against anti-black law.At that time，there were a lot of laws stopping the blacks rights and progress.The black people reached a stage where they have almost no rights at all.Black people had no vote and could not choose who ruled them.The parts of town where they were sent to live were decided by white people.They could not get jobs they wanted.The places where they were sent to live we
