From: [email protected] To: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Date: 3 October 20_ _ Subject: Benefits of an online pen pal programme Attachments:

Dear English Panel members

Online pen pal programmes have been successful in many schools, and so I think it’d be worthwhile

to have one at our school. I think students would enjoy and benefit from this programme since it aims

to provide students with an opportunity to meet students from other countries. It also helps schools

build closer relationships with schools in other countries.

Regards

April Lee, Head of the English Department


Email from Mrs Amy So to Mrs Lau

From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Date: 5 October 20_ _ Subject: Joint school English Carnival Attachments:

Dear Mrs Lau

My nephew, Andy Wong of class 1B, will be participating in the choir performance at the joint school

English Carnival. As neither of his parents will be able to come with him, they have asked me to take

him to the carnival. Would it be all right if I also brought my two children, who are in primary school,

to attend the carnival? If so, please kindly tell me where I can get the admission tickets.

I look forward to your reply.

Yours sincerely

Amy So

Today, I heard something about the school launching an online pen pal programme where

students get to write to students around the world. Has anyone heard anything about it?

grace2A01 wrote on 17/9/20_ _ 18.37

Oh, really? I haven’t heard about it, but it sounds like fun! It would be great to meet students

from all over the world and find out about their lives!

mr_cheung wrote on 30/9/20_ _ 14.49

Hi, everyone! This is Mr Cheung, the IT teacher. I am happy to see that many of you are

interested in the online pen pal programme. Our school will be launching it during English

is Easy Month. The online pen pal programme is quite different from a traditional pen pal

programme in several ways. To begin with, only teachers will have access to students’

information, and students will need to let a teacher know when they’ve found someone they

want to write to. Then, the teacher will contact the student to see if he or she is interested.

That’s a brief introduction of the programme but don’t worry, the principal will be telling

you more about it during the morning assembly next week. We hope you will all enjoy the

programme! :)

Chai Wan College– Memo –

From: Mrs Lau, Vice PrincipalTo: Tony Leung, Student Representative, English ClubDate: 5 October 20 _ _ Subject: Activities for English is Easy Month

There are three things I’d like you to do.

Firstly, I am going to hold an evaluation meeting about the programmes held during last year’s English is Easy Month, so I will need to get feedback from teachers. Please help me summarise what they thought about the programmes based on the notes you made in the meeting. Secondly, I’d like you to write a FAQ section on the new online pen pal programme that our school will launch. Briefly introduce the new programme and state its objectives and benefits. Then talk about the differences between traditional pen pal and online pen pal programmes. Finally, focus on what students think about the online pen pal programme. You may refer to comments made by participants in other schools and the school intranet discussion forum.

Lastly, the English Panel is planning on creating a reading programme at our school, and I would like you to help me write up a proposal to our principal, Ms Tai. Please remember to:

• statethe programme’s name and aims

• talkaboutthe problems we have found with regard to students’ reading habits (you can refer to the English Panel’s survey results for this; quote figures to support your points)

• explain how the programme will work

• mention the cost of running the programme (we should only spend money on promotional materials and new English books; for the promotion budget, use the same amount that we spent on promotional materials for the English Drama Competition)

Thanks for your help.

The programme will provide students with an opportunity to meet students from other countries through an inter-school emailing system. This, of course also helps schools build closer relationships with schools in other countries.

An online pen pal programme? The school my brother studies at has been running a similar

programme for a while. They have co-organised it with another school in London. It sounds

pretty exciting!

Excerpt from the English Panel’s report

Report on Students’ Reading Habits at Chai Wan College

Background

At the end of last year, the English Panel conducted a survey on students’ reading

habits. The purpose of the survey was to find out whether a reading programme

was necessary in school. A total of 842 questionnaires were sent out and 732

completed questionnaires were returned.

Results

In addition, 85% of the respondents said that they would read more if they had

less homework to do. 60% thought reading was a good habit.

Suggestions

The Panel suggested to create a reading programme. The programme would aim to

increase students’ interest in reading and encourage them to read more.

Excerpt from Hong Kong Secondary School’s school newspaper

The English pen pal programme is great!I joined our school’s online English pen pal programme last year. Even after a year,

my Australian pen pal and I often write to each other. I feel that I’ve gained a lot by

participating in this programme. I’d definitely like to join again next year!
