Second period:

Step 1 Background information(15 minutes)

A Survey:

Directions: Here is a survey about “Young People’s Attitudes towards Reading”. Below are the results from the survey conducted by Mori of Nestle Family Monitor. The results are based on questionnaires completed by over 900 teenagers at 33 state and independent schools and 6 colleges between March and May in 2003.

Examples:

Do teenagers read?

Eighty-three percent read in spare time.

Eleven percent never read outside of school hours (these students were more likely to come from a home where neither parent nor guardian worked).

Sixteen percent boys never read in their spare time compared to only seven percent girls.

What makes young people want to read?

Forty-three percent will read something as a result of a peer recommendation.

Ten percent will read something if it is recommended by a teacher. Fifteen percent are keen to read a book about a film they enjoy.  

Twenty-three percent say they will read a book about a famous person they are interested in or as a hobby (this figure is higher for boys).

Other results:

Age from 13 to 14 is a key period where an interest in reading dwindles.

Seventy percent say they will prefer to watch TV or a DVD than read a book.

On the whole, girls are more enthusiastic about reading than boys.

Boys are “significantly more likely than girls to say that they are encouraged to read if the book is about a place, subject or hobby in which they are interested”.

Directions:

Try to do such kind of survey in different classes. Use the statistics you get to analyze their attitudes towards reading. Then report your results orally to the whole class.

Your preferred places for recreational reading (multi-choices)

a first edition of”, 注意用的是a不是the,指第一版中的一本;Paradise Lost 是英国17世纪著名大诗人弥尔顿所著的一部史诗,具有极高的艺术价值,其第一版自然也很珍贵。original 这里指原画,非复制品,是荷兰17世纪的大画家Rembrant (伦勃朗),其作品具有极高的价值。这里用人名代替作品,是英文中常见的用法。
