* Project

Work in groups. Each student writes one sentence beginning with “If...” on their own piece of paper. For example：
If it doesn′t rain tomorrow，we′ll go for a picnic.
4b
Put all the pieces of paper into a box or jar. The first person picks one and reads it aloud. Others then add “if”sentences to continue the story. For example：
If we go for a picnic, everyone will be excited.
If everyone is excited, we'll play some fun games.
4c
Take turns to add sentences until the story ends naturally. Each story should include at least five sentences.
4d
When a story ends，pick another piece of paper. Take turns to tell the next story.
