01My Proposal: A Language Exchange Club
Good morning, everyone. Our school has students from many different countries, but we rarely talk to each other. Today, I'd like to propose a new club: a language exchange club.
02The Problem
Right now, most students stay in groups with people who speak the same language. As a result, we have very few chances to practice speaking other languages in real life.
03The Idea
Here's my idea. We make pairs of students with different first languages. They talk for thirty minutes in one language, and then thirty minutes in the other. Everyone is both a teacher and a learner.
04The Benefits
This club has three benefits. We get free speaking practice, we make friends from other cultures, and our school becomes a friendlier place for everyone.
05What We Need
To start, we only need two things: one empty classroom on Wednesday afternoons, and one teacher who is willing to be our advisor.
06A Trial Plan
We don't need to decide everything now. I suggest we try it for one term, ask members for feedback, and then decide whether to continue.
07Conclusion
In conclusion, a language exchange club is easy to start and good for everyone. If you're interested, please write your name on the sign-up sheet after this meeting. Thank you.
