Transcript
Maggie: Hello, Mr Zhou. May I talk to you It’s about school clubs.
Mr Zhou: Sure, Maggie! What is it
Maggie: I’ve heard that students can start their own clubs. Could you tell me how to do it
Mr Zhou: Sure! You’ll just need to write a proposal about your plans.What type of club do you want to start It should help students learn a useful skill — you can’t have a “juice-drinking club”, for example, or the principal won’t agree to it!
Maggie: That’s fine! I want to practise short story writing, and I have noticed we don’t have a short story writing club. Would that be OK
Mr Zhou: That sounds like a great idea. In your proposal, you’ll need to mention the name of the club, the name of the club leader, the aims of the club,and the time the club will meet each week. Then you’ll need to write about the activities you plan to organize at the club. You should also mention any materials you’ll need, and how you’re going to find new members. When your proposal is ready, you must find at least five students, including you, to sign up for the first meeting. Then give your proposal to me.
Maggie: OK, what happens after that
Mr Zhou: I’ll look at your proposal, and if it’s good enough, I’ll give it to the principal. Once he agrees, I’ll help you find a place for the club and set up your first meeting!
Maggie: Thank you so much, Mr Zhou! I’m going to write my proposal right away.
