Daily Talk（值日报告）又叫Duty Report，是由学生轮流在英语课前做的一项听说活动，可以是演讲、对话、短剧、故事或谜语等等。通过几年的坚持实践，我们收到了良好的效果。
兼顾全体，激励参与
小卢和小波纪律松散，成绩较差，平时很少参与课堂活动。有几个科任老师都说不想叫他们回答问题。但是，如果我们放弃了这样的学生，就会给教学效果造成一定的影响。于是我想方设法鼓励他们参加Daily Talk，并对他们进行了必要的辅导。特别爱表现自己的他们，第二天信心十足地走上讲台，说了几句地道纯正的英语。
Lu: Hello, Wu Shuibo.
Wu: Hi, Lu Jiaqu. What’s your favourite colour?
Lu: Blue. And what’s your favourite food?
Wu: Chicken. What’s your favourite sport?
Lu: Basketball.
Lu and Wu: Thank you!
台下马上响起了热烈的掌声，我及时表扬了他们。那节课，他们听得很认真，还大胆地反复朗读课文的句子，想多学几句，下次继续做好Daily Talk.
促进交流，引发探究
轮到小文同学做Daily Talk时，她走上讲台对大家说: Hello, everyone! My favourite subject is English. Do you like English, too? When I grow up, I want to be an English teacher. Now I must study hard. But sometimes I have some English problems. Can you help me? Let’s help each other and learn from each other, OK? Thank you!在集体讨论时，同学们提问： What is Wen Guidi’s favourite subject? What does she want to be when she grows up? Why does she need any help? Can you help her? Is it good or bad to be a teacher? My aunt says she doesn’t like to be a teacher. 最后一个问题是个很有探究性的问题，引发了大家对职业的探究。
展示自我，完善自我
轮到小荣和小强两位同学做Daily Talk的时候，他们各带回了一张家庭照片，向大家介绍他们的家人。小荣先说：Hello, everyone! This is a picture of my family. My home have five people.（这个句子不符合英语的表达习惯）They are my father, my mother, my sister, my brother and I. Look! This man is my father. This is my mother. This girl is my sister. This boy is my brother. (poiting a baby)Who is this?大家一起回答：“You!”然后我问了一个问题：How many people are there in Deng Zhirong’s family?用强调的语气说“are there”，再重复说：There are five people in his family.纠正了刚才的错误。
撞击智慧火花，培养创新能力
由于Daily Talk给了学生很大的发展空间，所以经常会听到学生很有创意的谈话。如3月7日课前两位同学的对话内容是：
A: What will you do this weekend?
B: I will go to plant trees.
A: Plant trees? Why?
B: It is planting Day next Sunday.
A: Oh! Where will you go to plant trees?
B: The hill behind our village.
A: Who will go with you?
B: My sister. Would you like to go with us?
A: Great! What time shall we go?
B: At 9:00 in the morning, OK?
A: No problem. See you then.
话题回归生活，回归社会，同时也体现了他们的创新思维。
