also do research and study the unknown. Look at the list of subjects and you can choose a topic that interests you. Write notes about the facts that you have known about and the unknown facts of it.

Let the Ss go through the list and pick out a topic. List the facts of it. After choosing the topic the students are required to make a plan for it.

Sa: I will choose water sports as my project. I am interested in it because I love sport and I love the feeling to be with water. I have tried surfing, sailing and sea diving and all of these sports are very interesting and challenging. Water-skiing and windsurfing are also challenging sports that I prefer, but they need skills. So I will know more about them after the project. Besides, I will attend some training classes to learn them in practice. After the project I will make a bulletin board in our school and invite more students to join me. If possible, we will establish a water sport club.

Activity three: Make a dialogue

T: Since you have made a plan about your project, now please make a dialogue in pairs. One will act as the speaker to introduce your project, and your partner will act as the listener to keep the conversation going. Make sure to use the words we learnt to show interest. You can use the example as a pattern.

Help the Ss make dialogues and practice.

One possible version:

A: What are you going to do for your sea project?

B: I always love water sport, so I will do a project about sea sports.

A: Oh, really?

B: Yes, I like surfing and diving. They are challenging and exciting sports.

A: Mm, I see. Have you tried these sports?

B: Yes, nearly every summer our family would spend a-week long holiday on the seaside, and I would do these sports. It's really interesting.

A: Do you show interest in other water sports?

B: I also like water skiing and wind surfing, but I know little about them. This is what I would like to know in my project.
