摘要：Learning about world records is fun. Who wouldn't be intrigued to learn that the world record for the number of plastic drinking straws stuffed into a person's mouth is 151, or that the distance record for squirting milk from the eyeball is 6 feet 7 1/2 inches (2 meters)? Over the years, I have developed several activities which make use of intriguing world records like these. Here I would like to present an activity designed for small groups of five to seven students (adaptable to larger groups) which involves all four language skills: reading, writing, listening, and speaking. In the activity, students take turns reading aloud two authentic world records and one fictional world record that they have written themselves. The other group members listen and guess which of the three records is not true.
