S14: I would like to share my plan with you. From myperspective, besides a well-organized plan, some preparations are of greatsignificance. For example we may need to take an umbrella in case of badweather and some pills in case of emergency. And our group divided our planinto three parts: morning visit, noon visit and the afternoon visit. In the morning,we can see carpenters and other craftsmen make their work in the old fashionway, I think that would be great fun. In the noon, we can have a lunch whileenjoying the country music performed in the outdoor theatre. After lunch, wecan visit candy store and try the same candy made 150 years ago. Afternoon, wecan take a ride on the only steam engine train and even see some bald eagle.That’s all. I think we can enjoy our one-day trip in Dollywood. Thank you.
T: That’s a wonderful plan. Clear and loud, fivestars. Well-organized, six stars maybe. But we only have five. About eyecontact, next time, you need to take some simple notes. Then you don’t need toturn over again and again. So I will you give you four stars. What about yourevaluation? What do you think of her presentation? Do you like it? Yes, ok justmake your evaluation on your handout. Now, What about next group?
S15: Well, what about my plan. Before I go to Camelot,I will search the internet gaining information about English culture. In themorning, I go there, waiting outside the gate. I will be very excited; I willsee some fake royal members, like King Edward and the knights of round table.After the lunch, I will go the farm and of course I will feed the animals,maybe very exciting and interesting. And then jousting. After dinner, I will gofor the sightseeing. The night will be very intriguing. Of course I will buysome souvenirs. Take pictures, enjoy the beautiful things. Ok, thank you.
T: Charming accent, right. Well, it is your group’strip plan. So maybe next time you should present: “our group is going to do sth”,that will be much better. Well, I would to see every group’s plan, so pleaseturn it into a piece of writing. And see you next time. Thank you.
