　　[00:27.54]SECTION A MINI-LECTURE

　　[00:31.04]In this section

　　[00:31.92]you will hear a mini-lecture.

　　[00:33.99]You will hear

　　[00:34.94]the mini-lecture ONCE ONLY.

　　[00:36.83]While listening to the mini-lecture,

　　[00:38.76]please complete the gap-filling task

　　[00:40.90]on ANSWER SHEET ONE and write

　　[00:43.50]NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS

　　[00:45.27]for each gap.

　　[00:46.61]Make sure the word(s) you fill in

　　[00:50.04]is (are) both grammatically

　　[00:52.47]and semantically acceptable.

　　[00:55.72]You may use the blank sheet

　　[00:56.78]for note-taking.

　　[00:58.18]You have THIRTY seconds

　　[00:59.63]to preview the gap-filling task.

　　[01:31.97]Now listen to the mini-lecture.

　　[01:33.99]When it is over,

　　[01:35.10]you will be given THREE minutes

　　[01:37.27]to check your work.

　　[01:38.35]Planning a Writing Lesson

　　[01:40.14]Good morning, everyone.

　　[01:41.56]Today we'll talk about

　　[01:42.85]how to plan a writing lesson.

　　[01:45.10]Writing,

　　[01:45.72]unlike speaking,

　　[01:46.80]is not an ability

　　[01:47.99]we acquire naturally,

　　[01:49.43]even in our first language.

　　[01:50.99]It needs a process

　　[01:52.48]of learning and practicing.

　　[01:53.76]Unless the second language learners

　　[01:56.41]are explicitly taught

　　[01:58.01]how to write in the new language,

　　[01:59.66]their writing skills

　　[02:00.76]are likely to get left behind

　　[02:02.57]as their speaking skills progress.

　　[02:04.87]But teaching writing

　　[02:05.98]is not just about grammar,

　　[02:07.91]spelling, or the mechanics

　　[02:09.35]of the Roman alphabet.

　　[02:10.97]Learners also need to be aware of

　　[02:12.82]and use the conventions

　　[02:15.22]of the genre in the new language.

　　[02:17.50]First of all,

　　[02:18.58]we have to make it clear

　　[02:19.92]what a genre is.

　　[02:21.24]A genre can be anything

　　[02:22.64]from a menu to a wedding invitation,

　　[02:24.91]from a newspaper article

　　[02:26.40]to an estate agent's description

　　[02:28.03]of a house.

　　[02:29.47]Pieces of writing of the same genre

　　[02:31.80]share some features in terms of layout,

　　[02:34.37]the level of formality,

　　[02:35.85]and the usage of language.

　　[02:37.62]However,

　　[02:38.58]a genre may vary considerably

　　[02:40.41]between cultures,

　　[02:41.70]and even adult learners

　　[02:43.39]familiar with a range of genres

　　[02:45.53]in their first language

　　[02:46.77]need to learn to use the conventions

　　[02:48.66]of those genres in English.

　　[02:50.62]In general,

　　[02:51.49]there are a couple of stages

　　[02:53.19]involved in the process of writing

　　[02:54.99]in accordance with a specific genre.

　　[02:57.27]I don't necessarily include

　　[02:58.55]all these stages

　　[02:59.89]in every writing lesson,

　　[03:01.53]and the emphasis given to each stage

　　[03:03.34]may differ according to the genre

　　[03:05.16]of the writing

　　[03:06.15]and the time available.

　　[03:07.46]As is often the case,

　　[03:08.82]generating ideas is the first stage

　　[03:11.43]of a process approach to writing.

　　[03:13.46]Even when producing a piece of writing

　　[03:15.69]of a highly conventional genre,

　　[03:17.94]such as a letter of complaint,

　　[03:19.86]using learners' own ideas

　　[03:21.94]can make the writing more memorable

　　[03:23.77]and meaningful.

　　[03:25.16]Before writing a letter of complaint,

　　[03:26.89]learners think about a situation

　　[03:28.33]when they have complained

　　[03:30.07]about faulty goods

　　[03:31.44]or bad service

　　[03:32.69]or have felt like complaining,

　　[03:34.27]and tell a partner.

　　[03:35.75]As the first stage

　　[03:37.08]of preparing to write an essay,

　　[03:38.90]I give learners the essay title

　　[03:40.79]and pieces of scrap paper.

　　[03:42.67]They have 3 minutes

　　[03:43.70]to work alone,

　　[03:44.75]writing one idea

　　[03:45.86]on each piece of paper,

　　[03:47.41]before comparing in groups.

　　[03:48.87]Each group can then

　　[03:50.25]present their 3 best ideas

　　[03:51.90]to the class.

　　[03:53.28]Then, there is another stage

　　[03:54.77]taken from a process approach,

　　[03:56.70]and it involves thinking about

　　[03:58.37]which of the many ideas generated

　　[04:00.52]are the most important or relevant,

　　[04:03.11]and perhaps taking

　　[04:04.62]a particular point of view.

　　[04:06.34]As part of the essay-writing process,

　　[04:08.08]students in groups

　　[04:09.49]put the ideas generated

　　[04:11.24]in the previous stage

　　[04:12.60]into a mind map.

　　[04:14.05]The teacher then

　　[04:15.11]draws a mind map on the board,

　　[04:16.67]using ideas from the different groups.

　　[04:19.29]At this stage

　　[04:20.41]he or she can also feed in

　　[04:22.72]some useful collocations.

　　[04:24.21]This gives the learners the tools

　　[04:26.35]to better express their own ideas.

　　[04:28.71]I tell my students

　　[04:30.39]to write individually

　　[04:31.79]for about 10 minutes

　　[04:33.15]without stopping

　　[04:34.11]and without worrying

　　[04:35.20]about grammar or punctuation.

　　[04:37.24]If they don't know a particular word,

　　[04:38.92]they write it in their first language.

　　[04:41.15]This often helps learners

　　[04:43.31]to further develop

　　[04:44.34]some of the ideas

　　[04:45.59]used during this stage.

　　[04:47.26]Once the students

　　[04:48.50]have got their own ideas,

　　[04:49.76]and thought about

　　[04:51.03]which are the most important

　　[04:52.39]or relevant,

　　[04:53.48]I try to give them the tools

　　[04:55.11]to express those ideas

　　[04:56.65]in the most appropriate way.

　　[04:58.43]The examination of model texts

　　[05:00.71]is often prominent in product

　　[05:02.97]or genre approaches to writing,

　　[05:04.78]and will help raise awareness

　　[05:06.59]of the conventions of typical texts

　　[05:08.60]of different genres in English.

　　[05:10.97]I give learners in groups

　　[05:12.77]several examples of a genre,

　　[05:14.54]and they use a genre analysis form

　　[05:17.07]to identify the features

　　[05:18.71]and language they have in common.

　　[05:21.03]This raises their awareness

　　[05:22.74]of the features of the genre

　　[05:24.24]and gives them some language "chunks"

　　[05:26.86]they can use in their own writing.

　　[05:28.48]Learners are given an essay

　　[05:30.31]with the topic sentences taken out,

　　[05:32.68]and put them back in the right place.

　　[05:35.00]This raises their awareness

　　[05:36.24]of the organization of the essay

　　[05:37.98]and the importance of topic sentences.

　　[05:40.55]Once learners have seen

　　[05:42.05]how the ideas are organized

　　[05:43.89]in typical examples of the genre,

　　[05:45.72]they can go about

　　[05:47.10]organizing their own ideas

　　[05:48.57]in a similar way.

　　[05:50.64]Students in groups

　　[05:51.92]draft a plan of their work,

　　[05:53.93]including how many paragraphs

　　[05:55.93]and the main points of each paragraph.

　　[05:58.33]When preparing to write an essay,

　　[05:59.80]students group some of the ideas

　　[06:01.67]produced earlier into main

　　[06:04.02]and supporting statements.

　　[06:05.37]In a pure process approach,

　　[06:06.84]the writer goes through several drafts

　　[06:08.99]before producing a final version.

　　[06:11.25]In practical terms,

　　[06:12.40]and as part

　　[06:14.07]of a general English course,

　　[06:15.93]this is not always possible.

　　[06:17.81]Nevertheless,

　　[06:18.77]it may be helpful

　　[06:19.67]to let students know beforehand

　　[06:21.71]if you are going to ask them

　　[06:23.55]to write a second draft.

　　[06:24.99]This stage affords learners a chance

　　[06:27.62]to become aware of an audience

　　[06:29.45]other than the teacher.

　　[06:30.99]If students are to write a second draft,

　　[06:32.83]I ask other learners to comment on

　　[06:35.23]what they liked or didn't like

　　[06:37.19]about the piece of work,

　　[06:38.52]or what they found unclear,

　　[06:40.35]so that these comments

　　[06:41.40]can be incorporated

　　[06:42.61]into the second draft.

　　[06:44.00]Finally,

　　[06:44.89]when writing a final draft,

　　[06:46.44]students should be encouraged

　　[06:48.01]to check the details

　　[06:49.20]of grammar and spelling,

　　[06:50.64]which may have taken a back seat

　　[06:52.76]to ideas and organization

　　[06:54.37]in the previous stages.

　　[06:55.97]All right,

　　[06:57.01]today we've illustrated

　　[06:58.70]necessary stages

　　[06:59.75]to plan a writing lesson.

　　[07:01.45]By going through

　　[07:02.68]some or all of these stages,

　　[07:04.71]learners use their own ideas

　　[07:06.25]to produce a piece of writing

　　[07:08.08]that uses the conventions

　　[07:09.71]of a genre appropriately.

　　[07:11.29]And in so doing,

　　[07:13.08]they are asked to think about

　　[07:14.53]the audience's expectations

　　[07:16.04]of a piece of writing

　　[07:17.47]of a particular genre,

　　[07:19.14]and the impact

　　[07:20.14]of their writing on the reader.

　　[07:21.84]In our next lecture,

　　[07:22.96]we will get started

　　[07:24.24]with a specific genre

　　[07:25.44]and talk about

　　[07:26.40]how to write an academic paper.

　　[07:28.19]Now, you have THREE minutes

　　[07:30.38]to check your work.

　　[10:32.76]This is the end of

　　[10:33.53]Section A Mini-lecture.

　　[10:37.13]SECTION B INTERVIEW

　　[10:40.03]In this section

　　[10:41.17]you will hear ONE interview.

　　[10:43.30]The interview

　　[10:44.08]will be divided into TWO parts.

　　[10:46.48]At the end of each part,

　　[10:48.22]five questions will be asked

　　[10:50.03]about what was said.

　　[10:51.63]Both the interview

　　[10:52.63]and the questions

　　[10:53.79]will be spoken ONCE ONLY.

　　[10:56.22]After each question

　　[10:57.54]there will be a ten-second pause.

　　[10:59.57]During the pause,

　　[11:00.95]you should read the four choices

　　[11:03.03]of A, B, C and D,

　　[11:05.82]and mark the best answer

　　[11:07.59]to each question

　　[11:08.66]on ANSWER SHEET TWO.

　　[11:10.35]You have THIRTY seconds

　　[11:11.97]to preview the questions.

　　[11:44.05]Now, listen to Part One

　　[11:45.54]of the interview.

　　[11:47.12]Questions 1 to 5 are based on

　　[11:48.93]Part One of the interview.

　　[11:51.18]M: This morning on

　　[11:52.44]Take It Off Today, staying

　　[11:53.99]in shape on the road.

　　[11:55.48]Just because you are staying

　　[11:56.73]in a hotel does not mean

　　[11:58.14]your exercise routine has to suffer

　　[12:00.09]although too often

　　[12:01.43]it probably does.

　　[12:03.10]Women's Health's contributing

　　[12:04.87]editor Lisa Drayer says there

　　[12:06.96]are many hotel chains catering to

　　[12:08.93]your every workout need.

　　[12:10.12]Lisa, good morning!

　　[12:11.48]Nice to see you.

　　[12:12.48]W: Good morning, nice to see you.

　　[12:14.18]M: So this is a big thing

　　[12:15.93]for hotels right now.

　　[12:16.99]It is a growing trend.

　　[12:18.32]Why do you think that is?

　　[12:19.64]W: Well, you know,

　　[12:20.95]consumers have become

　　[12:22.09]increasingly health-conscious,

　　[12:23.68]so when we travel,

　　[12:24.93]we are looking for a hotel

　　[12:26.40]that not only

　　[12:27.41]has a comfortable bed

　　[12:29.23]and a nice lobby,

　　[12:30.21]but also one that will allow us

　　[12:31.98]to maintain our fitness routine

　　[12:33.63]while we are on the road.

　　[12:35.40]So because of this trend,

　　[12:37.04]Women's Health

　　[12:37.98]took a look at some of

　　[12:39.95]the major hotel chains

　　[12:40.88]throughout the country,

　　[12:42.13]including Fairmont,

　　[12:43.78]Candlewood Suites,

　　[12:45.34]Hyatt, Hilton, Marriott and Westin,

　　[12:48.49]and what we found was

　　[12:49.70]that all these hotel chains

　　[12:51.47]had either improved

　　[12:52.54]their fitness offerings,

　　[12:53.75]or they had implemented

　　[12:55.39]brand-new ones.

　　[12:56.76]M: and you found

　　[12:58.00]that a lot of their clients

　　[12:59.36]are looking for an outlet

　　[13:00.62]when they are on the road

　　[13:01.63]and don't want their routines

　　[13:03.54]to suffer.

　　[13:04.13]W: Absolutely not,

　　[13:05.27]especially because many of us

　　[13:06.92]travel a lot of the time.

　　[13:08.67]M: Yeah, increasingly.

　　[13:10.41]Alright, let's take a look at some

　　[13:13.02]of those offerings.

　　[13:14.09]We are going to begin with Hyatt,

　　[13:15.70]and you really like

　　[13:16.95]the amenities from Hyatt,

　　[13:18.21]so why is that?

　　[13:19.07]W: Right. Hyatt is definitely

　　[13:20.92]one of the leaders

　　[13:21.98]in terms of their fitness offerings.

　　[13:24.13]They now offer StayFit

　　[13:26.07]at Hyatt Gyms,

　　[13:27.28]open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

　　[13:29.94]So basically you can work out

　　[13:31.94]any time of day.

　　[13:33.54]And they've also recently partnered

　　[13:35.69]with Yoga Away,

　　[13:37.05]so they actually offer

　　[13:38.22]in-room yoga videos.

　　[13:39.58]In fact, even during their bedtime

　　[13:42.08]turndown service,

　　[13:43.10]they will give the guest a card

　　[13:44.97]with specific breathing

　　[13:46.21]instructions,

　　[13:47.09]and they will also guide the guest

　　[13:48.76]to a bedtime yoga video.

　　[13:50.49]So lots of yoga videos are available.

　　[13:52.82]M: So no chop on the pillow.

　　[13:54.87]This is yoga.

　　[13:56.20]There is an alternative choice.

　　[13:57.47]W: that's right.

　　[13:58.61]This is your bedtime yoga workout,

　　[14:00.70]and it's free of charge.

　　[14:02.00]The hotel will also provide

　　[14:03.72]yoga mats and balls,

　　[14:05.39]and a couple of other perks as well.

　　[14:08.45]Hyatt will also offer workout

　　[14:10.34]apparel delivered to your room

　　[14:11.74]in under an hour,

　　[14:13.04]available for purchase.

　　[14:14.42]M: So no excuses for living at home.

　　[14:16.69]W: that's right. And you know,

　　[14:19.01]some guests will even get

　　[14:20.65]a wrist-top GPS monitor,

　　[14:21.92]so runners can easily navigate

　　[14:24.10]back to the hotel,

　　[14:25.45]also monitor heart rate, distance

　　[14:27.80]and calories burned.

　　[14:29.30]This is the end of Part One

　　[14:31.02]of the interview.

　　[14:32.21]Questions 1 to 5 are based on

　　[14:34.43]what you have just heard.

　　[14:36.11]1. What is the main goal

　　[14:38.61]behind this interview?

　　[14:49.68]2. What is NOT mentioned

　　[14:51.81]as a consumers' requirement

　　[14:53.42]for a hotel?

　　[15:04.44]3. Which hotel takes

　　[15:06.68]the leading position

　　[15:07.70]in workout offerings?

　　[15:18.89]4. Which of the following is

　　[15:20.94]NOT provided by Hayatt?

　　[15:32.81]5. Which of

　　[15:34.30]the following statements

　　[15:35.55]is INCORRECT in terms of

　　[15:37.49]the bedtime turndown service

　　[15:39.23]provided by Hayatt?

　　[15:50.30]Now, listen to Part Two

　　[15:51.97]of the interview.

　　[15:53.45]Questions 6 to 10 are based on

　　[15:55.82]Part Two of the interview.

　　[15:58.14]M: OK, we've got a lot to get to,

　　[16:00.32]so let's move past Hyatt

　　[16:02.14]and go on to Westin really quickly.

　　[16:04.15]What's Westin doing right now?

　　[16:05.83]W: Westin is great.

　　[16:07.23]They now offer

　　[16:08.05]Westin WORKOUT Rooms,

　　[16:09.65]so you could work out

　　[16:10.80]in the privacy of your own room

　　[16:12.71]since there is various equipment.

　　[16:14.57]You can either get a Reebok cycle

　　[16:17.08]or a treadmill,

　　[16:18.48]as well as dumbbells

　　[16:19.68]and various videos, DVDs,

　　[16:21.74]Pilates, yoga and spinning.

　　[16:24.53]So a great perk with Westin.

　　[16:25.94]It is available for

　　[16:27.62]an additional charge.

　　[16:29.09]So, we are talking

　　[16:30.41]about 20 dollars above

　　[16:31.33]a market-room rate.

　　[16:32.69]But it's great for business travelers.

　　[16:34.50]So they can fit into

　　[16:36.27]their workout routine

　　[16:37.36]whenever their schedule permits.

　　[16:38.88]M: At Fairmont,

　　[16:40.26]there is what's called Fairmont Fit.

　　[16:42.74]W: Right,

　　[16:43.76]we love the Fairmont Fit Program

　　[16:45.55]because the staff will deliver

　　[16:47.22]Adidas workout gear free

　　[16:49.04]of charge to your room,

　　[16:50.35]everything from T-shirts

　　[16:52.04]to shorts to sneakers,

　　[16:53.56]so if you are one of those travelers

　　[16:55.20]who over-pack your suitcase

　　[16:56.98]and you just don't have room

　　[16:58.77]to bring your workout clothes,

　　[17:00.01]there is no need to worry.

　　[17:01.98]M: It is very helpful for

　　[17:03.63]a lot of travelers

　　[17:04.84]who are trying to take

　　[17:05.82]only a carryon bag.

　　[17:06.95]when they go traveling,

　　[17:08.12]they need not bring
