to the questions followed. I will give you five minutes.

Five minutes later.

T: All right, stop here. Have you finished it? I'll ask some of you to read your short passages.

S1: I like music very much, almost every kind of music - classical, rock, jazz and so on. I like the popular music best. I usually listen to music at home on my CD Discman. I think I am not musical, because I cannot sing or play a musical instrument. I just take listening to music as a way to relax myself.

S2: In my opinion, music is very important, so I like it very much. My favorite kind of music is traditional Chinese music. I like the instruments very much. And I don't like the rock and jazz music, because they are too noisy. At school, I listen to my Walkman after class, and when I am at home, I listen to MP3. So I like my MP3 very much. To be frank, I am musical, I like singing and I can play the piano. If time permits, I hope I can give a performance.

T: Excellent! All of you have done a good job.

Step III Task

The purpose of this writing task is to let the Ss present a biography of a famous Chinese musician and encourage the Ss to love traditional Chinese music.

T: In this module, we have learned about several musicians, so we are going to write a biography of a Chinese musician. First you should read the notes about the composers in this module.

S: Can I make notes about the composer I want to talk about?

T: Of course! When you do this, you can use the time expressions in Grammar 1. Now you can work together with those who choose the same composer with you. Then you should find photographs and news items about the composer. Each person in the group should talk about something different about the composer. You should find the information about his works, his biographical details, his family and home life.

Ten minutes later.

T: Have you finished? Now who would like to read your composition? Each group can choose one representative.
