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
