Sample answer: Leo: I went to see the doctor and she said I have to make exercise a regular part of my life. I know I need to exercise but I don’t have time or money. What should I do Rachel: A few minutes a day is all it takes. Start doing small amounts of exercise whenever you can. Take the stairs instead of the lift when possible. And if you have been sitting for too long while studying, get up and dance to your favourite music. Leo: Interesting! I can do that. But do you think I need to pay to exercise in the gym Rachel: Not necessarily. The good news is that you don’t need money to exercise! You can go running in your community’s park or try walking to school. Leo: Great suggestions! How do you feel about joining me I don’t want to exercise alone. Rachel: Of course! I’ll help you get into an exercise routine if you’re serious about it. Leo: I am! Thanks for encouraging me, Rachel. We should find other friends to join us too. What do you think of that Rachel: That’s the best idea you’ve ever had! 学生小组活动,进行角色扮演,进一步综合前面“看”“听”“读”所收集到的信息,为后续的“写”做好铺垫。 10’ Pair Work Class Work
