Part B
1.
You are the chairperson of the
English Soc. You think most students at your school are weak in story writing
skills. You have prepared to organize an acitivity for your schoolmates. Write
a proposal to the principal outlining a series of activities, the benefits and
the resources needed.
Part B. 1 A proposal to improve students’ story
writing skills
As
reflected from the DSE record 2012-2013, our students are quite weak in story
writing, I, as the chairperson of the English Society, am therefore, seeking
your permission to run a series of activity for our schoolmates to improve their
writing skills.
After reading
all my classmates’ stories written within this year, I discovered two problems.
First, they know too little things to make their stories believable. Second,
almost none of them could use verbs and nouns to describe things to stir up
readers’ appetite. All they used were adjectives and adverbs which do not
appeal to our five senses. To remedy this situation, my planned series of
activities include two visits with two NETs, one to an old fishing village in
Sai Kung and another to an old district in Kowloon where people still make
their living with their hands.
The goal of the
activities is to wake students up to their five senses through observing and
recording things they do not usually come across in the modern city. The final
product should be a story titled ‘City folk and the country folk’. The reason for
bringing two NETs along with us is to let students ask them words they want to
use in describing what they see. Also, we will not allow our participants to
use any adverbs and adjectives in their story, So they could only ask, and this
will increase their vocabulary.
The benefits are
easy to see, if students are allowed to use only verbs and nouns, they would
not be able to describe the life of a fisherman or a shoemaker as ‘poor’, but
instead, they would have to describe the shabby clothes they are wearing and
the place they are working in. If they want to describe the work is ‘hard’, they
will have to talk about the sweat or wrinkles on their forehead and how their two
rough hands mend a broken fish net or a worn out shoe. After such interviews,
you can see not only vocabulary and conversational
English, but a lot of life would have been learnt.
All that we need
is very little, just allow the two NETs to go with us on a Saturday a coach to
take us from our school to Sai kung in the morning and from Sai kung to
Shumshuipo in the afternoon. I hope you would seriously consider my proposal.
Thank you. (400)
