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!

don’t have a short story writing club. Would that be OK

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

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.
