Teacher’s book for VETS advanced
Unit 1 Make an event proposal
Starting up
About the unit
An event proposal is a document giving a comprehensive view of the arrangements and services for a specific event. It is typically created at the early planning stages of an event. Event proposals should be thoroughly researched, discussed and well written, providing necessary and helpful details so that organisers/staff can see what you have in mind. In this unit, by helping the staff featured in the course book to make an event proposal for a skills competition, Ss will develop the skills they need to make this type of document.
Teaching objectives
In working through this unit, students should learn how to:
●identify and utilise relevant information about an event, including the theme, purpose, time,
place, possible activities and arrangements (Set the task & Prepare for the task)

Li Han: Hey, Janice. I heard you wanted to see me.
Janice:Yes, Han. Here’s the thing. We need to make plans for the upcoming skills competition, and I would like you to make an event proposal for it.
