Unit 3 Listening Material: A Letter from Canada
Hi everyone! For our unit on customs and cultures around the world, we listened to a recording of a letter written by a Chinese student named Lily who is studying abroad in Canada. I thought it was really interesting to learn about her experiences living in a different country.
Lily started off by introducing herself and saying she was writing to her parents back home in Beijing. She explained that she had been in Canada for about two months as an exchange student, living with a host family. Even though it had only been a couple months, she said her life was already quite different from when she was living in China.
One of the biggest adjustments Lily had to make was getting used to the food in Canada. She said Chinese food is not very common, except for in the big cities with Chinatowns. Her host family's typical meals consisted of things like steak, potatoes, salad, and other Western-style dishes. At first the food seemed a
bit bland to her, but she was slowly getting accustomed to the different flavors and styles of cooking.
Lily mentioned that her host family was very friendly and welcoming. However, there were still some cultural differences that took some getting used to. For example, in Canada it is considered polite to directly express your thoughts and opinions, whereas in China people tend to be more reserved. Her host parents encouraged her to speak up and voice her views during family discussions.
Another new cultural practice Lily experienced was having to remove her shoes whenever entering someone's home. She said this was not a custom in China, but in Canada it is seen as dirty and rude to walk around inside with your outdoor shoes on. She had to remind herself each time she went over to a friend's house.
One aspect of Canadian life that Lily really enjoyed was the emphasis on environmental protection and sustainable living. She said recycling and conservation were a big part of her host family's daily routine. They had different bins for separating out recyclables, and tried to limit energy and water usage as much as possible. Lily wished these "green" habits were more widely practiced back home in Beijing.
Of course, attending school in Canada was also quite an adjustment for Lily. She said the teaching methods and classroom environments were very different compared to China. The classrooms were much smaller, with only about 20-25 students each. The students were encouraged to actively participate by asking questions, having discussions, and working on a lot of group projects. In China, the classes were larger and the teaching style was more lecture-based.
Another interesting difference Lily pointed out was the lack of standard uniforms and same schedule for all students. In Canada, students could wear their own casual clothing to school, and they each had an individualized schedule depending on the specific courses they selected. This was a stark contrast to the strict uniforms and unified curriculum that Lily was used to in Beijing.
Overall, despite all the cultural adjustments, Lily said she was having an amazing experience living abroad in Canada. She had joined some school clubs and made friends with both Canadian students and other internationals. She was really appreciating the opportunity to step outside her comfort zone, be immersed in a new environment, and gain a global perspective. Lily felt she
was becoming more independent, open-minded, and adaptable through this journey.
Towards the end of the recording, Lily expressed how much she missed her parents, family, and friends back in China. However, she was looking forward to the rest of her time in Canada and embracing all the new experiences coming her way. She signed off by saying she hoped to share more stories and details about her adventures abroad in her next letter.
That's a summary of the key points from Lily's letter that we listened to in class. I found it really insightful to learn about the similarities and differences between living in China versus a Western country like Canada. Even though there were some challenges, it seemed like Lily was handling the cultural transition quite well and having a very enriching experience through her study abroad program. I'm sure it will end up being an invaluable opportunity for expanding her global views!

Hi there! Today I want to tell you about the listening material we covered in Unit 3 of our 5th grade English textbook. It was really interesting and taught me a lot about different cultures and traditions around the world.
The unit was called "Festivals Around the World" and the first dialogue was about the Spring Festival, which is the most important festival celebrated in China. It talked about how families get together, eat reunion dinner, watch TV shows and set off fireworks to celebrate the new year. I already knew a bit about Spring Festival traditions from my own family, but it was cool to learn about it in English too.
Next up was a dialogue covering Thanksgiving, a major holiday in the United States and Canada. I didn't know much about this one before, so I learned that it originated as a harvest festival where people gave thanks for a successful crop. Nowadays, families get together for a big turkey dinner with side dishes like mashed potatoes, stuffing, and pumpkin pie. It sounds like such a delicious feast!
After Thanksgiving, we moved on to Diwali, the Festival of Lights celebrated mainly in India. The dialogue described all the bright lights and lamps that decorate houses, as well as fireworks, giving gifts, and the yummy sweets that are prepared. My favorite part was learning about rangoli, the colorful designs made from powder or flowers that decorate the floors. They look so beautiful and intricate!
The final listening dialogue covered Brazil's Carnival. I had seen pictures before of the huge parade with all the music, dancing, and elaborate costumes and floats, but I didn't realize how massive of a celebration it really is! Millions of people party in the streets for almost a whole week before the start of Lent. The dialogue made it sound like such a lively, joyous festival full of energy.
In addition to the main dialogues, we also listened to some supplementary materials with more details on each festival. For Spring Festival, it went over the customs of cleaning the house, putting up decorations, eating dumplings and other lucky foods. For Thanksgiving, it explained the story of the first settlers in America and their feast with the Native Americans to give thanks after their first successful harvest.
The Diwali section taught me about the different religious meanings behind the festival's celebration of good over evil and light over darkness in Hindu beliefs. And for Carnival, it gave some background on how it originated from feasting and partying before the fasting period of Lent in Catholic traditions, but has evolved into a huge cultural event in Brazil.
Overall, this unit really opened my eyes to how many unique and fascinating festivals there are worldwide, each steeped in its
own history and cultural traditions. While the specifics of how they are celebrated might be different, it seems like most involve family gatherings, special foods, beautiful decorations and costumes, and joyful community revelry of some kind.
I feel really fortunate that through learning English, I get this window into understanding other cultures better. It helps me appreciate the diversity of traditions out there and see the common threads of humanity that connect us all, despite outer differences in how we celebrate. I'm already excited to learn about more festivals and customs from around the globe as I continue my English studies!

Hello, my name is Lily and I'm a 5th grade student. Our class just finished the listening material for Unit 3 in our English textbook and I wanted to tell you all about it!
The unit is called "My Hobbies" and it's really interesting. The listening material is a dialogue between two students, Tom and Mary, who are talking about the different hobbies they enjoy.
It starts with Tom asking Mary what she likes to do in her free time. Mary says that one of her favorite hobbies is reading.
She loves getting lost in a good book and reading all kinds of stories – fantasy novels, mysteries, even non-fiction books about science or history. Tom says he also enjoys reading but his favorite hobby is playing sports.
Tom tells Mary that he is on the school soccer team and they practice every week. He says playing soccer is not only fun but also great exercise. Mary agrees that sports are a nice way to stay active and healthy. She says her hobby of reading is more relaxing but doesn't provide much physical activity.
Then Tom mentions that another hobby of his is taking care of his pet dog Buddy. He has to walk Buddy every day, feed him, give him fresh water, and play fetch with him in the yard. Mary thinks that sounds like a lot of responsibility but Tom says he doesn't mind because he loves Buddy so much. Mary says she used to have a pet hamster but it was much less work than a dog!
Next, Mary talks about her hobby of drawing and painting. She shows Tom some of the pictures she has made – colorful sketches of animals, landscapes, and even portraits of her family members. Tom tells her the artwork is amazing and says he wishes he was that talented! He admits that his hobbies of sports and caring for his dog don't leave much time for artistic pursuits.
In the final part of the dialogue, Tom and Mary discuss how hobbies can teach useful skills. Mary's reading hobby has helped improve her vocabulary and writing abilities. Tom's soccer hobby has taught him about teamwork, determination, and staying fit. And his pet care responsibilities have made him more responsible and caring.
Tom and Mary agree that hobbies don't just have to be fun –they can be very beneficial too. Having a hobby gives you something constructive to do with your free time instead of just watching TV or playing video games. Hobbies stimulate your mind, body, and creativity in different ways.
At the end, Tom suggests that they could even try out each other's hobbies sometime. Mary could join Tom at his soccer practice and Tom could work on an art project with Mary. They decide it would be fun to exchange hobbies and try something new! Tom and Mary's conversation shows how hobbies can enrich our lives and help us develop diverse talents and interests.
That was the dialogue between Tom and Mary about their favorite hobbies. I really enjoyed listening to it because it gave me some great ideas for new potential hobbies I could take up. Their discussion reminded me that having a hobby is not only fun, but also rewarding in many ways.
A hobby like reading can boost your language and comprehension skills. Artistic hobbies like drawing or painting spark your creativity. Physical activities and sports keep you active and healthy. And hobbies that involve caring for a pet teach you responsibility. There are so many benefits to pursuing a hobby you feel passionate about.
Tom and Mary's different hobbies showed how people can have vastly diverse interests. But they were still able to have an engaging conversation, learn about each other's pastimes, and even agree to swap hobbies temporarily. This highlights how hobbies create common ground between people and bring us together through shared enthusiasm.
Personally, I don't have just one main hobby yet. But after hearing Tom and Mary discuss theirs so animatedly, I feel really motivated to explore some new activities in my free time. Maybe I could start reading more books for pleasure like Mary, since that could help my English skills. Or I could ask my parents for a pet fish or hamster to care for like Tom does with his dog.
I've also always been curious about trying a sport like soccer that Tom plays. It seems like a really fun way to get exercise and work as a team. And like Mary, I do love drawing and crafting, so I should indulge that creative side more often. The possibilities
are endless when it comes to cultivating an enriching new hobby!
Overall, the listening material from this unit opened my eyes to the importance and joys of having hobbies. Tom and Mary's friendly discussion has inspired me to be more proactive about exploring potential hobbies and using my free time productively.
A hobby doesn't have to be time-consuming or expensive – it just has to be something you feel passionate about and can learn from. I'm excited to discover what kinds of new hobbies might be right for me!。
