  25. STEP TWO • Design one or two tests to prove your hypothesis. STEP THREE • Conduct the tests after class and write your research report. Remember that your conclusion should be the logical outcome of the results from your tests. STEP FOUR • Be prepared to make an oral report of your research next time. (It’s better to have a PPT)

  26. Sample -1 Research Report Subject:Students' awareness of the importance of clothing Hypothesis: Most students today are aware of the importance of clothing, and try to dress appropriately according to the occasion.

  27. Sample -2 Testing the Hypothesis Method: Interviewing different students on campus. Questions asked: Q1.Have you ever paid any special attention to your clothes before going to meet somebody? Q2.Do you think proper dress can help you achieve success?

  28. Sample -3 Q3. Would you wear your best clothes for a date? Q4.Suppose you're just a clerk of a company, would you put on some special clothes to dress up for the company's annual party at which a lot of VIPs will be present? Q5.Would you employ a person who pays no attention to clothes but has a great interest in the work he/she would be doing?

  29. Sample -4 Results: Q1: 10 people (100%) “Yes” Q2: 10 people (100%) “Yes” Q3: 9 people (90%) “Yes” Q4: 6 people (60%) “Yes” Q5: 4 people (40%) “Yes”

  30. Sample -5 Conclusion: All the students interviewed were eager to be dressed properly, but some also believed that perhaps one's ability was more important than his/her appearance.

  31. Writing • Directions: Write an article based on your research. Your article should be no less than 200 words. Remember to write neatly.

  32. interview (interviewer, interviewee) hypothesis (hypothesize) appearance statistic(s) be concerned with respond to percentage impression perceive be biased toward preference vanity favorable (unfavorable, favorably) with regard to indicate words and phrases for reference

  33. Writing -1 • Dress Is Important in Our Life • With economic development, our living standards have been greatly improved. We are no longer satisfied with blue and black uniforms. Having realized the importance of clothing, we pay more attention to it more than ever before.

  34. Writing -2 • The following is a report of a survey carried out among college students. Our survey shows that all students are more or less aware of the importance of clothing. The students we interviewed come from very different family backgrounds. Below are the questions we asked:

  35. Writing -3 • Q1. Have you ever paid any special attention to your clothes before going to meet someone? • Q2. Do you think proper dress can help you achieve success? • Q3. Would you wear your best clothes for a date?

  36. Writing -4 • Q4. Suppose you're just a clerk of a company. Would you put on some special clothes to dress up for the company's annual party at which a lot of VIPs will be present? • Q5. Would you employ a person who pays no attention to clothes but has a great interest in the work he/she would be doing?

  37. Writing -5 • We interviewed 10 students in total. Here are the results of our survey: • The Number of People Saying “Yes” PercentageQ1 10 100% Q2 10 100% Q3 9 90% Q4 6 60% Q5 4 40% .

  38. Writing -6 • From the above results, we can see that almost all the interviewees responded positively to the first three questions, which indicates that most students are greatly concerned with being dressed properly. Nowadays many students have realized that a better taste for clothes may mean better job opportunities, more money and more dates.

  39. Writing -7 • With regard to the last two questions, however, students seem to hold different opinions. Although everyone seems to think it is important to be properly dressed, some still believe that it is not the most important thing. In their opinion, ability is perhaps more important. In this fast-food era, however, our contacts with other people are more fleeting than before.

  40. Writing -8 • Our impression of a person is to a certain extent formed by his or her appearance and clothing. So it is important for a person to present him-/her-self properly to people, especially when they meet for the first time. Being properly dressed at least can show one's respect for others and a willingness to communicate with them.

  41. Writing –9 • I myself care a lot about people's clothes. If I had to choose an assistant from two candidates, I would certainly choose the one that was more properly dressed. I believe that if a person has a good taste for clothes, he has a good taste for everything.
