Listen and read

Ms James: Welcome back, eveyone! Today, we’re going to talk about good ways to learn English. Ready? Who has some advice? Lingling: We should always speak English in class .

Ms James: Good ! Let’s try to speak English as much as possible. Daming: Why not write down the mistakes in our notebooks? Ms James: That’s a good idea.And don’t forget to write down the correct answs next to the mistakes.What else?

Lingling: It’s a good idea to spell aernd pronounce new words aloud every day. Ms James: Thanks a lot, Lingling. How about listening to the radio ?

Daming: Yes, that’s good for our pronunciation too. But there are so many new words. Ms James: You don’t need to understand every word. You just need to listen for key words and main ideas.

Daming: That’s the same for reading. English stories are so interesting. I get to know a lot about the world through reading.

Lingling: I think writing is also important .Why don’t we try to find some English pen friends? We can write to them. Ms James: Excellent! I agree with you.

Unit 2 You should smile at her!

Read the passage and find out what problems the students have. Send your questions to Diana , the Language Doctor.

Many students ask for advice about how to improve their English. Here are three basic questions.

The first question is about understanding English films and songs. Li Hao from Hubei wrote, “I like watching English films and listening to English songs, but I can only understand a little. What can I do?” Watching films and listening to songs are great ways to learn English! Watch and listen several times, and guess the meaning of new words. Each time you will learn something new. I also advise you to talk about the films or son7wssssssssssssssgs with your friends.

The second question is about speaking. Wang Fan from Jilin wrote, “Our school has a teacher from the US. I am shy and I am afraid to speak to her. What should I do ?”

You can say, “Hello! How are you?” “Do you like China?”These are good ways to start a conversation. And before you begin ,you should smile at her! Remember this: Do not be shy. Just try.

The third question is about vocabulary. Zhang Lei from Anhui wrote, “I wrote down new words, but I forget them quickly. How can I remember them?” Do not worry. It is natural to forget new words! I suggest you write four or five words a day on pieces of paper and place

them in your room, and try to use them.

Module2 My home town and my country Unit1 It’s taller than many other buildings

Tony: Hey, Daming ! How was your weekend?

Daming: Pretty good ! I went to Shenzhen. Tony: Where’s Shenzhen ? Daming: Well ,it’s on the coast near Hong Kong. It was a small village about thirty years ago, but today it’s a very big city. Tony: So it’s a newer city than Hong Kong?

Daming: Yes, it’s a very new city. In fact, it only became important in the 1980s. It’s getting bigger and busier. Some day it will become as busy as Hong Kong, I’m sure. Tony: What’s the population of Shenzhen?

Daming: It’s over ten million, I think. That’s larger than the population of many other cities in China. Its streets are much wider and cleaner too. I think it’s a beautiful city. Tony: I ’d like to go there one day. Daming: Remember to visit the

Diwang Tower. It’s taller than many other buildings in Shenzhen.

Unit2 Cambridge is a beautiful city in the east of England. Cambridge, By Tony Smith

I come from Cambridge, a beautiful city in the east of England .It

London

and

England

is on the River Cam and has a population of about 120,000. My home town is especially famous for its university. Many famous people studied here, such as Isaac Newton and Charles Darwin. There are lots of old buildings and churches to visit. Students and tourist enjoy trips along the river by boat.

Cambridge is 80 kilometres from London. London is in the south of England and it is on the River Thames. It has a population of about seven and a half million, so it is bigger and busier than Cambridge. It is about 2,000 years old, and it is famous for Big Ben, Buckingham Palace and Tower Bridge.

England itself is part of an island, and you are always near the sea. The small villages and beaches on the coast are popular for holidays. Tourists like the areas of low mountains and beautiful lakes in the north, and the hills and pretty villages in the south. Everywhere in England you will notice how green the countryside is.

It is never very hot in summer or very cold in winter. So come and see England any time of the year, but bring an umbrella with you. You will need it most days.

Module 3 Sports

Unit 1 Nothing is more exciting than playing tennis. Listen and read.

Daming: Hey, Tony. Come and watch the football match on TV! Tony: OK. What’s the score? Daming: Spain scored a minute ago. Tony: Wow! That’s fast!

Daming: That’s right. Last week the match on TV was so boring because no one scored at all. So this week’s match is already more exciting.

Betty: What’s the matter with you, Tony ? You look tired.

Tony: I’m really tired after last night’s tennis match. And I hurt my knee.

Daming: That’s too bad! Sit down and watch the match. It’s safer than playing tennis.

Betty: Yes, watching is not dangerous and it’s more relaxing too! Tony: Well, I’m not sure about that .Nothing is more enjoyable than playing tennis.

Betty: But you enjoyed watching the Olympics on TV, right? Tony: Oh, he missed! Oh, bad luck!

Daming: Never mind. There’s still plenty of time for them to score.
