Get a students to read the sentences at the beginning of the paragraph to the class. Tell students that they should look back at Activity 2b and finish writing the paragraph using the information in Activity 2b. Have students finish the paragraph on their own. While they are working, walk around the classroom offering help and answering questions as needed. When they finish, invite a student to read his or her completed paragraph to the class.

A sample paragraph

Apple Ice Cream is a rock band. They have been together for about a year. They have written their own original songs although they used to sing other people’s songs. They won "The Best New Group of the year." award last year. They haven’t made a music video yet, but they’ve had six concerts of their own.

They haven’t been on TV yet, but they have talked to Bands on Parade about doing a TV show next month.

Step Ⅳ 3c

This activity provides writing practice using the target language.

Read the instructions Write about your favorite band aloud. Then ask several students to say the name of the band they want to write about. (For example, F4, Twins, Beyond and Backstreet Boys.)

Make sure students know enough about the band they choose to write at least five sentences.

Get students to use the paragraph in Activity 3b as a sample. When they work, walk around the classroom offering more help if needed. When they finish, invite a student to read his/her composition as an example, with different students contributing sentences and correcting each other’s information.

A sample composition

Backstreet Boys is a pop band. They have been together for nearly ten years. There are five American singers in the band.

They have already written their own original songs. They have already made many music records and have had many concerts of their own. They have won many awards many times. But they haven’t been to China yet. I hope they can come to China to have a concert this year.
