5. Interviewing people

Now, class, let’s go on to carry out a survey of the interests in the class and write down the names of the classmates who have the same interests. Ask such questions as: Which do you like, sport, music or collection? Which of the sports do you like best? What is your favorite sport? Are you interested in table tennis? After the survey, the ones who have the same interests sit together and please work in groups of four to talk about their interest.

Why do you like this sport / music / collection? When do you begin to like it? What’s enjoyable about the hobby? What have you learned from the hobby? 6. Closing down by writing a description Turn to page 15 and follow the direction to write a description of your favorite hobby. Here is an example: Swimming is my favorite sport. I like it because it can bring me much fun. The process of learning swimming is very interesting. You can try different ways of swimming, such as breakstroke and backstroke. You can swim at any time of the year if you like. In hot summer, if you jump into the river or the sea to have a swim, you’ll feel cool and comfortable. Even in cold winter, you can swim if you are brave enough. It’s a healthy sport and it can build up your body. If you are a beginner, you must be careful. You’ll better not swim alone and bring life buoy with you in case of danger. If you want to be a good swimmer, you must have a lot of practice and have great determination. 7.
