As members of the Science Club, you should write a plan for the Science Festival. First, let me explain the aim of the festi
11、val and the events well have. We started the Science Festival three years ago. It aims to encourage students to take an interest in science and develop skills that may help them in their future lives. The Science Festival will last three days. The first and most important thing you need to do is to
12、think of a theme for this years festival. All events will be centred around the theme you decide on. For the first event, well invite a well-known scientist to give a lecture. Think about who youd like us to invite, when and where the lecture will be given, and a topic that students might be interes
13、ted in. Then well have a Science Workshop, where students can try different experiments. So, you should also come up with ideas for experiments that could be done, including what equipment and materials would be needed. Finally, therell be a huge Science Fair. Each class can design some activities a
14、nd decorate their classroom, and you should give some suggestions on how to do these in your plan. Please send me your plan by this Friday. Next week well make a final decision on this years theme and events. Thank you! Finish writing your plan for the Science Festival. Preview the school news report on Page 51.
