√ Does the letter say what the writer's problem is?
√ Does the letter explain the decisions the writer made to solve the problem?
√ Does the letter show the ways to change?
√ Are the results included in the letter?
√ Can you see the writer's attitude and determination in the letter?

Step 4 Projects
Activity 5 Project: Do a health survey
1. How well are your classmates looking after their physical and mental health? Work in groups and make a survey. Design a multiple-choice questionnaire to collect information. Use online survey tools if possible to help you make, distribute, and analyse your questionnaires.
Physical Health
1) Ask questions about what to eat and drink, such as staple foods (主食,基本食物), snacks, drinks, and other substances, etc.
Example:
How often do you skip meals?
□never □once a day □several times a week □others:____
2) Ask questions about what to do with one’s body, such as sitting, exercise, sleeping, etc.
Mental Health
1) Ask questions about what people do in their spare time, such as reading, watching TV, using phone/Internet, playing video games, etc.
2) Ask questions about what people do to feel better when they are stressed, unhappy, or angry.
3) Ask questions about what to do with one’s mind, such as learning new things for fun, doing creative activities, etc.
Example:
What do you spend most of your spare time doing?
□Playing computer games □On social media □Reading □Being outside □Playing sports
2. Each person in your group should help make the survey. Then ask classmates outside your group to take the survey.
3. Collect and analyse the survey results by creating pie charts, bar charts, or other ways of summarising data.
4. Try to do a survey and prepare a written or oral report as homework, giving general recommendations for how to solve the most common lifestyle problems that you have found among your classmates.
A sample report:
General Recommendations:
We asked our classmates a series of questions about their physical and mental health. They gave many different answers, but we found some common lifestyle problems in our results.
A common problem is the time spent in front of computer screens or phones. We recommend keeping track of screen time by using a tracking app. When we are aware of the time we are spending, we are more likely to spend less time. We also recommend taking up a hobby that can be done instead of screen time. Another problem many students have is not drinking enough water. It is very important for your health, so we recommend carrying a refillable water bottle with your everywhere and filling it up at least three times a day.
A common mental health problem is that students often feel stressed, which sometimes makes them depressed. We recommend exercise, not only because it is good for your physical health, but also because it is good for your mind. Exercising outside in the fresh air or even going for a walk can help calm your mind and make you feel less anxious or depressed.
