They have been widening the road.他们一直在加宽马路。（尚未完工，仍在继续）
They have widened the road.他们把马路加宽了。（已经完工）
2.在表反复发生的动作时现在完成时强调次数。而现在完成进行时则强调持续的过程。

Completing a questionnaire

Enable students to understand the rules of constructing and design a questionnaire.
Ⅲ.Teaching methods:

Ⅳ.Teaching aids:

Ⅴ.Teaching procedures:
Step 1 Revision
Step 2 Skill building 1: Completing a questionnaire
First ask students some questions about questionnaire.
T: Do you know what a questionnaire is and what’s the purpose of it
S:A questionnaire is a list of questions or statements and these questions or statements are to be answered usually for a survey in order to collect information.
T: You’re quite right. But the questions or statements in a questionnaire are not casually designed. There are some rules to follow to make a good questionnaire. Now please read the six points of explanation on page 12 and learn more about characteristics of a questionnaire.
After students finish reading the points, ask them to read the questionnaire about people’s shopping habits on page 12 and point out which rule each statement breaks, then try to correct them according to the rules.
Suggested answers:
1. Rule 3. I often go shopping in supermarkets.
2. Rule 1. It should be divided into two separate statements. ① “I go shopping once a day.”
②“ I spend more than $15 each time.”
3. Rule 6. Many people may not know what Smith’s is. We can replace it with “I have gone shopping
at a store.”
4. Rule 2. I usually go shopping with my friend in the neighborhood.
5. Rule 5. I often go shopping at weekends.
6. Rule 4. “Top” causes confusion here. It can mean different things. We can specify it as “I buy a new
top of a table every month.”
T: Suppose you work for a book club called Best Book Club . The club is doing a survey of its members, but in the questionnaire there are three questions or statements that break the rules on Page 12. Please correct them.
Suggested answers:
1. 2 There are two questions included in it. It should be divided into two questions.
①How did you find out about Best Book Club ②When did you join the club
2. 3 It lacks of specific reference. It should be more accurate.---How many times have you visited
book-shops in the last 6 months
3. 5 The sentence is too long and difficult. We should use simple and short sentence in a
questionnaire.--- The instruction should be like number 6 “Please write down your answer”.
Next, let students listen to an interview with a Best Book Club member and fill in the corrected questionnaire. After that, check the answers as a class.
Suggested answers:
1:15-20 2:Internet 3:over 10 4. over￥100 5. history 6. for free books

Period Ten Task (2)
Writing a report
Ⅰ.Teaching goals:
1. Enable students to analyze statistics and write a report.
2. Help students learn how to draw conclusions and make suggestions by analyzing statistics
Ⅱ.Teaching important & difficult points:
The skills of writing a report.
Ⅲ.Teaching methods:
Guided writing.
Ⅳ.Teaching aids:
The multimedia.
Ⅴ.Teaching procedures:
Step 1 Skill building 3: Writing a report
In this step, students will learn how to analyze statistics gathered from questionnaires and how to draw conclusions and make suggestions through the statistics. This skill of analyzing statistics will help us to write a report.
T: After doing a survey, people will get some statistics. What do they do with the statistics
S: I think they will analyze the statistics and draw some conclusions which will help them make decisions.
T: Good. But there is one more important purpose, to make suggestions. Now turn to page 16 and read the two points on how to analyze statistics to draw conclusions and make suggestions.
(After students finish reading.)
T: Now let’s look at the pie chart and analyze some statistics about some students’ hobbies and interests on page 16. Then discuss in pairs about the conclusions or suggestions.
Check the answers together.
Suggested answers:
Conclusions:
2. The second most popular activity for students in the school is surfing the Internet.
3. Only a few students in the school like reading.
4. Most students in the school do not like dancing.
Suggestions:
2. The school should help students understand how to use the Internet for study and research.
3. The school should find ways to get the students interested in reading.
4. School social events should not include dancing, because most students simply are not interested in it.
T: Now can you say something about how to draw conclusions and make suggestions
S1:I’ve learnt that in order to draw conclusions we should first analyze and compare different statistics and find the relationship between them, for example which one has the most percent of people and which one has less people. So you may express the differences in number.
S2:I think when we draw conclusions, we should refer to the conclusions one by one and give suggestions according to them. Of course we have various ways to express them.
Step2 Presentation
In this part, students will read a chart, which gives statistics about students’ favourite sports, and a report, which gives conclusions and suggestions after analysing the statistics. They will write a report on starting a book club to get students interested in reading.
1. Have students look at the chart in Part A on page 17, and work in groups of four and try to analyze the statistics, draw some conclusions and make some suggestions. Ask some groups to report their conclusions and suggestions to the whole class.
2. Ask students to read the report in Part A on page 17 carefully and discuss how to write a report.
Analyzing the facts→drawing some conclusions from the facts→giving details of suggestions.
3. Finish the task in Part B on page17. You are to write a report on greeting the students at your school interested in reading by starting a book club. Use the information on page 16, the sample report in Part A and the statistics in Part B on page 17.
First divide students into groups of four and let them list the statistics that are key to the report. Then they are asked to draw some conclusions and make suggestions. At last they will write a report about their findings.
Sample answers:
From our recent survey of students, we have found that only 8 percent of the students like reading. The most popular reading subject is humour, which 28 percent of the students enjoy. This is closely followed by travel books, which 25 percent of the students are interested in. 16 percent of the students like reading about sports and twelve percent like science books. A small number of the students like other subjects, such as history. We want to get the students interested in reading. For this reason, we suggest that we have a humour book club, since humour is the most popular subject. Each class would have its own club meetings once a week . At the meetings, they could discuss what books they are currently reading, and could even read aloud some funny bits from the books. The class monitors could then come up with a list of humour books which are popular with the students, and this list c
