Procedures

I. Warming up

2. Listen to what Miss Wang says, and then answer the questions in Exercise 2.

3. Listen to the tape again and try to spell out the missing words in Ex 3.

II. Talking about designing a questionnaire

Work in groups of four. Design a questionnaire to find out what kind of friends your classmates are. Ask the

Students to use the quiz in the Warming Up as an example.

Note: The students should be talking while they are doing the task. This provides the students with the opportunity

to practise expressing thought and concern in matters of immediate concern and interest. Tell the students to

follow these steps:

Step1: In your group, come up with four situations among friends. Design four questions accordingly with three

possible answers.

Step2: Put the four questions together and form a questionnaire.

Step3: Check the questionnaire through and try it out on your own group.

Step4: Share your questionnaire with another group and try each other’s questionnaires.

Sample questionnaire:

This questionnaire has four questions, and each question is followed by a set of possible answers. Please read the

questions, and then consider which response fits you best. .....

..... 1.Why am I close friends with this person now?

A. Because being friends with him/her helps me feel important.

B. Because my friend would be upset if I ended the relationship.

C. Because he/she is someone I really enjoy sharing emotions and special events with.

2. Why do I spend time with my friend?

A. Because my friend would get mad at me if I didn’t.

B. Because it is fun spending time with him/her.

C. Because I think it is what friends are supposed to do.

3.Why do I listen to my friend’s problems, or to what my friend has to say?

A. Because my friend praises me and makes me feel good when I do.

B. Because it’s interesting and satisfying to be able to share like that.

C. Because I really value getting to know my friend better.

4.Why do I keep promises to my friend?

A. Because I believe it is an important personal quality to live up to my promises to a friend.

B. Because it would threaten our friendship if I were not trustworthy.

☆ 4~6 points: You are not a good friend. You either neglect your friend’s needs or just do what he/she wants you

to do. You should think more about what a good friend needs to do.

☆ 7~9 points: You are a good friend but you sometimes let your friendship become too important, or you fail to

show enough concern for your friend’s needs and feelings. Try to strike a balance between your friend’s needs and

your own responsibilities.

☆ 10+ points: You are an excellent friend who recognizes that to be a good friend you need balance your needs

and your friend’s. Well done.

Students work in groups and try their own questionnaires in the school to collect more information about students’

reflection of the values of friendship.

III. Guided writing .....

..... 1. Read the letter to the editor from Xiaodong and make sure you know what problem Xiaodong has.

2. Discuss in groups of four. Think what advice you can give Xiaodong.

3. Write your advice to Xiaodong as an editor individually.

Sample writing:

Dear Xiaodong,

Some people like talking with others, but some people are shy. If you fall into the second group, it can be hard to

make friends. But you can change the situation.

What are you interested in? If you like basketball, for example, you could talk with some of your classmates who

like basketball. The easiest way to start talking to people is to find something you have in common.

If you are standing beside a group of your classmates, join in their discussion if you know something about the

subject they are discussing. But if you don’t, you shouldn’t feel afraid to say, for example, “That sounds

interesting, what is it about?” Once you start talking to one person, it will get easier to talk to others.

Find one person you have something in common with, and once you become friends with him, his friends will

start talking to you too.

Good luck!

Editor

IV. Writing assessment

1. Can you give Xiaodong some good advice?
