I like playing golf quite a lot. Every weekend, I play golf

with my father. There is a club nearby, so we go there.

It’s really good fun, but it’s much better being on the

course(球场) if the weather is nice and sunny. My father

is a better player than me. I usually take four or five

shots to get the ball in the hole.

TI: Analyze the example with the 5Ws in detail. Then do the discussion with S.

I like sports very much. I go swimming after school every day! There

is a pool near my house, so I usually go there before school. I really

love it! I also listen to music a lot. My favourite singers are Justin

Bieber and Taylor Swift. I use my headphones at home because my

mother doesn't like the loud noise!
