unit4 the next step task 2
thoughts on the design：
这一部分在前一节听和读的基础上继续设计说和写的活动，从而为最终完成本板块writing a report about course choices的写作任务。任务教学的关键是让学生明白任务的目的和实现任务的步骤，本课的设计紧紧抓住写作的最终目标，通过说和写作提示从而减少写作任务的难度。任务教学的另一个关键就是学生之间的合作，所以本课依然在每一项任务实施的过程中都强调相互合作。

step 2 speaking：discussing course possibilities
1. do you remember the questions being asked in listening tasks? play the tape again if necessary.
(1) what course do you think you will choose to study?
(2) do you remember when the local newspaper published my writing last year?
(3) have you decided upon your courses yet?
(4) what about you?
(5) what do you think?
2. when you are discussing options or possibilities, it is like playing a game of tennis.
one way: asking questions.another way: adding question tags
what do you think?…, isn’t it?
