Now choose one school club that interests you most and share your idea of starting a new school club with your partner, using these useful expressions. These useful expressions are helpful in getting your ideas across to others. When talking with your partner, please keep the structure of a proposal in mind.
2. T gives an example of how to start the talk.
T: We can start like this.
A: I’d like to start a film club so that students can learn more about films and film-making.

Step 5 Writing a proposal
T instructs Ss to write their proposal based on the information from parts A, B, C.
T: From your presentation, I find that most of you have had a good knowledge of the structure of a proposal for a new school club. It’s time for you to write the proposal. When writing it, combine your ideas from part C with the information in parts A and B. To make your writing logical and better, you are supposed to plan your writing ahead of time.
Activity 1: Planning
T asks Ss to pay attention to the text type, the structure and the language.
T explains the text type of the writing—a proposal, and introduces the purpose of a proposal—to get the reader to agree to your suggestion or plan.
T: When planning the writing, you should pay attention to the text type, the structure and the language. As for the text type, in this class you are going to write a proposal. Do you know what is a proposal and what is its purpose
T: A proposal is a formal suggestion or plan. And its purpose is to get the reader to agree to your suggestion or plan.
T guides Ss to pay attention to the structure of a proposal, telling them to separate different types of information to make it easy to read.
T: Besides paying attention to the text type, it is important to separate different types of information to make your proposal easy to read. After all, your purpose is to get the reader to agree to your suggestion or plan. Therefore, how you should structure your proposal really matters. Please refer to page 9, part B.
T leads Ss to pay attention to the language of a proposal: formal and concise
T: Finally, the language of the proposal is also important. Since a proposal is a formal suggestion or plan and the target reader of your proposal is your school principal, you should use formal language. Also, it should also be brief and concise, providing only the most important information.
4. T asks Ss a question: what are the features of formal language T then informs Ss of the features of formal language: being serious and objective, avoiding contractions and using relatively complex sentence structures.
Activity 2 Writing
Ss write their proposal.
T: Since we have planned well, now let’s write the proposal. Please refer to page 9, part B.
Activity 3 Checking
T asks Ss to figure out what mistakes they should pay attention to when checking the writing.
T: It is important to check your writing after you finish. What aspects should we pay attention to when checking the writing
T: Excellent! You are supposed to check if there are any mistakes in terms of punctuation, spelling, grammar, choice of words, style (formal/informal), structure.
2. T asks Ss to find mistakes in their own writing and correct them.
T: Find mistakes in your writing, and then correct them.
3. T asks Ss to make comments on each other’s writing, read the comments others make and improve their writing according to other’s comments.
T: It is a good idea to work in pairs to read and edit each other’s writing. During the process, you are supposed to give different types of comments, including praises, suggestions and corrections. Finally, pay attention to the comments your partner give on your writing and then improve your writing.
