USING LANGUAGE
Reading, listening and writing
The purpose of this part of the unit is to provide the students with opportunities to practise the language in a variety of realistic communicative activities．Most of the activities in this section integrate （ie combine）at least two of the four skills — reading, listening, writing and speaking．Such activities encourage the students to use higher-order critical thinking skills （see Supplementary Teaching Resources）．Furthermore, the students are challenged not only in the cognitive but also in the affective and psychomotor domains of learning （see A Glossary of Selected Teaching Terms）．In the activity presented here, the students are given practice in writing a letter to the editor of a popular radio show．It helps the students to express feelings in a logical way．Just as importantly, it demonstrates how they can make a positive response to pressure from their classmates．

LISTENING TEXT
Dear Lisa,
There is nothing wrong with you and this boy being friends and studying together．And no matter what other students say, it is possible for a boy and a girl to be just good friends．Ending your friendship with this boy would be a stupid thing to do．Not only would you lose a good friend, but you would also lose someone who is helping you with your studies．
Teenagers like to gossip, and they often see something that doesn\'t exist．Perhaps they can\'t understand your friendship with this boy．But that\'s no reason to throw it away．You should feel sorry for those students who have never enjoyed such a friendship．My advice is to ignore your gossiping classmates．That way you will show them that you are more grown up than they are．
Yours,
Wang Fei

Speaking
The purpose of this activity is to encourage independent thought and action in matters of immediate concern and interest to students．Writing their own survey gives them this chance．So it is important for each group to design its own questions．They may use the questionnaire in Warming Up as an example．
Sample dialogue:
A: Now let us design a questionnaire to find out what kind of friend one is． |
