必修一Unit One A New Start第一篇文章My First Day at Senior High1.After I had pictured it over and over again in my mind, the big day finally arrived: my first day at senior high! I woke up early and rushed out of the door in my eagerness to get to know my new school.2.The campus was still quiet when I arrived, so I decided to explore a bit.I was looking at the photos on the noticeboard when I heard a voice behind me. “New here?” Turning around, I saw a white-haired man. “Yes,”I replied. “I’m wondering what life is going to be like here.” “Don’t worry,” he gave me a smile. “You’ll soon find out.”3.How true these words were! When my first English teacher stepped into the classroom, I was surprised to see the same man I had met earlier.4.“Good morning, everyone. Before we start, please come to the front one by one and introduce yourself to the class. I’ll go first ...”5.“What? I tried to turn on my brain but the engine just wouldn’t start. “I should say my name, of course. But what else? What could I say to make a good impression? Something about my insect collection, perhaps.” I was organizing my words in my head when the girl next to me gave me a nudge. “It’s your turn!”6.With butterflies in my stomach, I breathed deeply. “Hi, I’m Meng Hao.”Everyone started laughing. I looked at them in panic. “Nice to know we share the same name,” said my new teacher. I had been too nervous to pay attention when he introduced himself! Although I was embarrassed, his words made me a lot more relaxed!7.When we had all introduced ourselves, Mr. Meng said, “Well done, everyone! I know this isn’t easy for many of you. But this is just the kind of thing you are going to face at senior high. Challenges like this might sometimes put you under pressure, but it all depends on what you do. Keep calm and be prepared. That way, you’ll make the most of your time at senior high.”8.People say, “Well begun, half done.” I guess this was a good beginning to my new school life.本单元语法:Review: basic sentence structuresPart 1: Match the sentences that share the same structures.1.I saw a white-haired man.2.I replied.3.He gave me a smile.4.I breathed deeply.5.I looked at them in panic.6.I was embarrassed.7.His words made me a lot more relaxed.a.He was friendly.b.The exam made me quite nervous.c.I passed him a book.d.She agreed.e.He wrote a long letter.f.He talked loudly.g.She looked after her sister patiently.本单元听力In the UK and the US, senior high school students take part in various after-school activities, such as club activities and volunteer work. These activities not only help them gain more skills, but also teach them to care about others. After-school activities also play a part when students apply to college. However, they can take up a lot of time, so students have to learn to organize their busy schedules. To help them do this, some senior high schools offer courses in time management.题目要求:Listen to the conversation and decide what the speakers are mainly talk about.1.The club they have joined and the activities they do after school.2.The things they should do to mange their time well.3.The challenges they face in their new school.题目要求:Listen again and complete the plan.1.___________________ the things we’re going to do.2.Record __________________ to do the activities.3.Only _______________________ at a time.4.Do _______________________ first.第一单元第二篇课文:High School HintsInterviewer: Hello and welcome to School Talk! Today I’m enjoyed by a former student of our school, Lisa Osborne. Lisa graduated from our school last June and is about to go to college in New York. Lisa, thank you for coming to share your suggestions for high school with us.Lisa: Hi, everybody. I’m very glad to be back. I feel as if high school was only yesterday!Interviewer: So what helped when you first started high school?Lisa: Orientation Day was really helpful. It’s a fantastic opportunity for new students to get to know the school and the other students. I even made some new friends! Just keep an open mind and take part in as much as possible.Interviewer: That’s sound advice for sure. But how did you deal with new challenges, like starting a new course?Lisa: I had a chemistry test right at the end of the first week. I was frightened at the sight of the test paper. But then I figured I’d better justgo all out and see what happens. If you fail, no problem -- next time you fail better!Interviewer: So, hold your head up, then. But life is not always easy. You must have had some moments when you were disappointed. If so, how did you deal with them?Lisa: As a member of the school volleyball team, I wasn’t selected for the end-of-year competition. At first I was really sad, but later I realized that I joined the team for the love of the sport. It wasn’t just about winning. So I kept working hard to support my teammates during our training. There’s always a way to be part of something you live, isn’t there? Interviewer: Yes, I totally agree. Is there anything else in particular that you’d like to share with us?Lisa: Looking back on my high school life, the most important advice I’d give is there wonderful words from the writer Maya Angelou. She said, “Be a rainbow in somebody else’s cloud.” So, give your friends a hand when they need it. And this will make you feel good too. Interviewer: Neat! Well, thanks again for coming to speak to us, Lisa. And good luck with college!Lisa: Thank you.Unit 2 Exploring EnglishNeither Pine nor Apple in Pineapple1.Have you ever asked yourself why people often have trouble learningEnglish? I hadn’t, until one day my five-year-old son asked me whether there was ham in a hamburger. There isn’t. This made me realize that there’s no egg in eggplant either. Neither is there pine nor apple in pineapple. This got me thinking how English can be a crazy language to learn.2.For example, in our free time we can sculpt a sculpture and paint a painting, but we take a photo. And when we are traveling we say that we are in the car or the taxi, but on the train or bus! While we’re dong all this travelling, we can get seasick at sea, airsick in the air and carsick in a car, but we don’t get homesick when we get back home. And speaking of home, why aren’t homework and housework the same thing?3.If “hard” is the opposite of “soft”, why are “hardly” and “softly” not an opposing pair? If harmless actions are the opposite of harmful actions, why are shameless and shameful behaviors the same?4.When we look out of the window and see rain or snow, we can say “it’s raining” or “it’s snowing”. But when we see sunshine, we can’t say “it’s sunshining”.5.Even the smallest words can be confusing. When you see the capitalized “WHO” in a medical report, do you read it as the “who” in “Who’s that?” What about “IT” and “US”?6.You also have to wonder at the unique madness of a language in which a house can burn up as it burns down in which you fill in a form byfilling it out, and in which an alarm is only heard once it goes off!7.English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of the human race. That is why when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And that is they when I wind up my watch, it starts, but when I wind up this passage, it ends.Using language:本单元语法Review: word formationPart 1. Look at the sentences and expressions form the reading passage. Match the words in bold to the types of word formation.a.Neither is there pine nor apply in pineapple.b.... sculpt a sculpture..c.When we ... see rain ..., we can say “it’s raining” ...d.WHO1.Abbreviating2.Changing the part of speech3.Adding a prefix or suffixbining two or more wordsplete the passage with the help of word formation.When you open a dictionary, you often come across a lot of unfamiliar words. You might think this is a bit scary. But many of them are formed using other simpler words. This is called word formation.Words formed by combining other words are called compounds, for example, _____________ (a friend that you contact by writing, traditionally using a pen and __________ (known by many people). Prefixes and suffixes often have fixed meanings. If you add un- or in- to a word, the new word usually means the opposite. For example, if something isn’t correct it’s ___________, and is someone isn’t happy they’re __________. Words with the suffixes -ment and -ness are oftn nouns. For example, if somebody has improved a lot, they have made great ___________.Some nouns and adjectives can be used as verbs, or the other way round. When we calm somebody down, they become __________. And we can give someone a present by __________ it.And sometimes a world is made up of the first letters of several words: “World Trade Organization” can be referred to as ________, and _________ is short for “as soon as possible”.It is impossible to know the meaning of every word, but knowing about word formation can help us guess their meanings.本单元听力:Unfamiliar English expressionsEach year, many additions are made to English dictionaries. Recent additions include “selfie” (a photograph that you take of yourself, usually with a mobile phone) and “netizen” (a citizen who uses the Internet). Some messaging abbreviations have also been added, for example, BRB(be right back), COZ (because) and G2G (got to go).Listen to the conversation and complete the table.第二单元第二篇课文Mis adventures in EnglishLast week, our forum asked if you had any funny or strange stories about using English. We didn’t expect to get so many posts! Here are some of our favorites, to remind us that some of the English we learn in the classroom is rather different from the English in the outside world! Yancy: People say that the British always play safe with what they eat. Not true! I went to a summer school in Manchester and My English teacher was called Maggie. One day, a different teacher took our class. He told us that Maggie couldn’t teach that day COZ she had a frog in her throat. Poor Maggie -- but why did she try to eat such a big frog?Sophie: When I first visited New York, I went to a downtown shopping centre to buy some winter boots. At the information desk at the entrance, I asked a lady where the shoe section was. She said that it was on the first floor. So I went to the first floor, but couldn’t find any shoes. I decided to leave. When I was looking for the exit, I saw that shoes were actually sold downstairs on the ground floor, not the first floor. Why did she give me the wrong information?Julien: I’ve got an English penfriend, who I finally got to meet in London this summer. He had told me that his grandfather was “really wicked”. But when I met his grandfather, I liked him a lot. I found it very odd. Why did my friend use a negative word about such a nice man?Zheng Xu:The British must have really high standards. I was part of a student exchange programme between a university in England and my university in China. I spent days preparing and writing my first English paper. I knew I had done a good job and was looking forward to getting a positive comment. When I got the paper back, I found my teacher had written the comment “Not bad!” Not bad? But there weren’t any errors in my paper.第三单元:Family matters第一篇课文:Like Father Like Son(The living room. Friday night. A table and two chairs at front centre. Grandfather and Father, seated at the table, are playing chess.)Grandfather: And ... I win! (Son enters room.)Father: Not again! Oh look, here comes my boy. How are you son? Son: (nervously approaching the table) Erm ... Dad, can we talk? Father: Sure! You know you can always turn to your dad for a chat. Son: OK. Here it is. I’ve decided not to go to university. I want to focus on my band and have a career in music when I leave school.Father: (raising his voice in surprise) You can’t be serious! What about your future career as a lawyer?!Son: I knew you’d say that. You just assume I want to be a lawyer, but that’s only because you are a lawyer.Father: What’s wrong with being a lawyer? Lawyers help people and are respected by others.Son: Yes, but I’m not interested in law. I want to work in a studio, not a court.Grandfather: (looking at Father) Calm down, OK?Father:(ignoring Grandfather’s words) Stop daydreaming! Playing in a band is not a job.Son: Of course it is! The music industry is developing fast now. Making music is a job.Grandfather: (stepping between Father and Son and raising his voice) Hey! I told you to calm down, both of you!Father: But I told him to study something useful at university!Grandfather: (laughing) Easy, son! I remember when you were his age, you said that you wanted to be a professional football player.Father: And you wanted me to be an engineer!Grandfather: I just wanted you to be happy, and an engineer -- a happy engineer!Father: But in the end, you just advised me to think carefully. Grandfather: Yes, and you have found the career that suits your talents. I’m so proud of you. Your son is proud of you, too.Son: Of course I am, but I have different talents.Grandfather:(turning to Son) Why don’t you also take my advice and think carefully before jumping in with both feet?Son: Well, I could try...Grandfather: If you go to university and play music at the same time, you will have two options for your future. And I’m sure playing in a band will help you make lots of new friends at university.Father: Yes, lots of new lawyer friends!Son: (with a sigh) Dad ...本单元语法:Review: tensesPart 1: Look at the sentences from the reading passage. Decide which tense each is in and match the tenses to what they describe.A.Grandfather and Father, seated at the table, are playing chess.wyers help people and are respected by others.C.... you said that you wanted to be a professional football player.D.... you have found the career that suits your talents.E.... you will have two options for your future.1.Something that started in the past and is affecting the present.2.Something that is currently taking place.3.Something that is certain to take place in the future.4.Something that was completed in the past.5.Something that happens regularly in the present.Part 2.

Oh, _____you _________ (finish) the quest list yet, dear?Dad: Yes, I have, and I’m working on the invitations.Mum: OK. So we still need to prepare food and drinks. I’ll make a checklist.本单元听力:Saying sorry to family membersThe International Day of Families, which was set by the United Nations in 1993, is held on 15 May every year.

With just 700 meters to to, Alistair Brownlee was in third place and his younger brother, Jonny, was in the lead. Alistair pushed himself towards the finish line in the burning heat, but as he came round the corner, he saw his brother about to fall onto the track. Alistair had to choose --brotherly love, or a chance to wen the race?2.For Alistair, the choice was clear. His brother was in trouble. He had to help. Alistair ran towards Jonny, caught him and started pulling him towards the finish line. Alistair the pushed his brother over the line. The move put Jonny in second place and Alistair himself in third. It was an unexpected end to the race, but Alistair did not want to discuss it with the media. He just wanted to see his younger brother, who had been rushed to the medical area.3.The Brownless brothers have been doing triathlons since they were children. “Obviously, when your older brother is doing it, you think it’s a cool thing to do,” says Jonny. Alistair says that they encourage each other as much as they can when they train. Despite arguments over “stupid things” now and then, Alistair agrees that having a brother is an advantage. “Throughout my entire life, I’ve had my brother trying to beat me at everything I do. It has been an enormously positive force.”4.Watched by millions, the ending to the race has divided opinions: should the brothers have been disqualified or highly praised for their actions? But for Alistair, his decision was easy to explain: “Mum wouldn’t have been happy if I’d left Jonny behind.” At that moment, he was no longer an athlete aiming for a medal -- has was just a brother.Unit 4 Friends forever第一篇课文:CLICK FOR A FRIEND?1.How would you feel if moving to a new town meant losing track of your friends? What if the only way of getting news from faraway friends was writing letters that took ages to be delivered? This was how things worked not very long ago. Thanks to advances in technology, how we make friends and communicate with them has changed significantly.2.Nowadays, we can move around the world and still stay in touch with the people that we want to remain friends with. Social media tools let us see what our friends are up to and maintain friendships. All you need is a wi-fi connection.3.The digital age also enable us to find people who share our interests, such as collecting model cars or playing an unusual instrument. Whatever our hobbies, the Internet can connect us with others who also enjoy doing them, even if they live on the other side of the world.4.But when you “friend” people online, does this mean that they really are your friends?5.It depends.6.If people always exchange true personal information online, then yes, these friendships can be real and meaningful. But we need to keep in mind that what we see on social media is often not the whole truth about a person.7.On social media sites, people tend to post only positive updates that make them appear happy and friendly. But smiling photos can hide real problems. Remember the saying: on the Internet, nobody knows you’re a dog. A young person could be old; a woman could be a man; we could even be sharing our information with criminals.8.But this doesn’t mean that we should throw the baby out with the bathwater. Although technology has changed the way we acquire friends, the meaning of friendship and our longing for friends remain the same. As Aristotle said, no one would choose to live without friends, even if he had ll other goods.本单元语法:Attributive clauses(1)Part 1: Look at the sentences from the reading passage and answer the questions.A.We can ... stay in touch with the people that we want to remain friends with.B.The digital age also enables us to find people who share our interests ...1.What does “that” refer to in sentence (a)?2.What does “who” refer to in sentence (b)?Compare them with the following sentences and answer the questions.C.We can ... stay in touch with people. We want to remain friends with them.D.The digital age also enables us to find people. These people share our interests ...3.What is the difference between the two groups of sentences?4.Why does the author choose to use sentence (a) and (b) in the reading passage?5.What other words are used to introduce attributive clauses? What do they refer to?Part 2. Rewrite the underlined sentences with that, which, who, whom or whose.Lucy is my friend. She has a hearing problem. When she first came to my school she seemed lonely, but we soon became friend. At first it was difficult to communicate with her. So I learned a new language. It allows me to “speak” with my hands.Lucy is a smart girl. Her ideas are always inspiring. I sometimes have problems. I can’t solve them. When this happens, I always ask Lucy for help.

Henry, was a world-famous American short story writer. In his stories, he often focused on the everyday life of ordinary people in New York City at that time. His stories are best known for their surprise endings.故事背景介绍:The short story “After Twenty Years” is set in New York on a cold, dark night. Most people have left work to go home, and this part of the city is now quiet. A policeman who is checking the area sees aman outside a shop. He goes up to the man and finds he has a scar on his face. They have a chat and the man starts to tell his story. 1. “Twenty years ago tonight.” said the man, “ I dined here at ‘Big Joe’ Brady’s with Jimmy Wells, my best chum, and the finest chap in the world. He and I were raised here in New York, just like two brothers, together. I was eighteen and Jimmy was twenty. The next morning I was to start for the West to make my fortune. You couldn’t have dragged Jimmy out of New York; he thought it was the only place on earth. Well, we agreed that night that we would meet here again exactly twenty years from that date and time, no matter what our conditions might be or from what distance we might have to come. We figured that in twenty years each of us ought to have our destiny worked out and our fortunes made, whatever they were going to be.”2. “It sounds pretty interesting,” said the policeman. “Rather a long time between meets, though, it seems to me. Haven’t you heard from your friend since you left?”3. “Well, yes, for a time we corresponded,” said the other. “But aftera year or two we lost track of each other. You see, the West is a pretty big proposition, and I kept hustling around over it pretty lively. But I know Jimmy will meet me here if he’s alive, for he always was the truest, staunchest old chap in the world. He’ll never forget. Icame a thousand miles to stand in this door tonight, and it’s worth it if my old partner turns up.”。

高中英语必修第一册听力原文上外版全文共6篇示例,供读者参考篇1Hi there! My name is Tommy and I'm 10 years old. I'm in the 5th grade at Sunny Hills Elementary School. Today I want to tell you all about my life as a kid and what it's like being a student. Get ready, because this is going to be a long story!First off, I have to wake up pretty early on school days - around 6:30am. My mom comes into my room and says "Time to get up, sleepyhead!" I never want to get out of my warm, cozy bed. But if I don't, I'll be late for school and get in trouble. So I drag myself to the bathroom, brush my teeth, and get dressed.For breakfast, I usually have a bowl of cereal with milk and a banana. My favorite cereals are Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs and Marshmallow Mateys. My mom says they aren't very healthy and I should eat oatmeal or whole grain cereal instead. But they're just so good! After breakfast, I grab my backpack and lunchbox, and my mom drives me to school.The first class of the day is always math. I'm not very good at math - I get confused by all the numbers and equations. Luckily,my teacher Mr. Parker is really nice and patient. He walks around the class helping anyone who's struggling. Even when I don't understand something, he explains it in a simple way until it finally clicks.Next up is language arts, which is one of my favorite classes. We read awesome books and stories, practice writing, and learn about grammar rules. Just this week, we started the novel "The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe" by C.S. Lewis. It's about four siblings who travel through an enchanted wardrobe to a magical land called Narnia. I can't wait to find out what happens!Around 11:30am, it's time for lunch and recess. I usually buy a lunch from the cafeteria since I'm not a fan of the sandwiches my mom packs. My favorite lunch is chicken nuggets, tater tots, a fruit cup, and a chocolate milk carton. For recess, I love to play on the jungle gym or have battles with my friends using our Bakugan figures. Sometimes I join the pickup basketball or soccer games too.After lunch, we have science and then social studies. Science is pretty interesting - we get to do a lot of hands-on experiments and projects. Like last month, we built these cool model volcanos and made them "erupt" with baking soda and vinegar. For social studies, we're learning geography and about the different states,their capitals, landmarks, and so on. I actually find memorizing all those names and places really boring.Finally, the last class of the day is either gym, art, music, or computers. Those are my other favorite classes because they're way more fun than the core subjects. In gym, we play games like kickball or dodgeball. Art is awesome because we get to draw, paint, sculpt with clay - anything crafty and creative. Music is cool too since we sing songs and learn how to play instruments like the recorder. And in computer class, we practice typing and get to play educational games and activities.The school day ends at 3:15pm and that's when I feel really excited and relieved. My dad usually picks me up and I tell him about all the things I did that day on the drive home. When I get home, I have a snack like graham crackers or apple slices with peanut butter while I watch a few episodes of my favorite cartoon.Around 5pm, I start my homework for the night. I try to get it all done before dinner, but that doesn't always happen. Especially if there's a lot of math or I'm feeling stuck on an assignment. That's when I ask my parents for help explaining things. If my homework still isn't finished after dinner, I have to go to my room and keep working on it until it's complete.Once my homework is finally done, I'm free to relax and have fun! I might play outside for a while if it's still light out. Or I'll play video games, build with Lego, draw and color, or playmake-believe games with my toys. Sometimes my friends come over and we'll make a huge fort out of blankets and pillows in the living room. Other times we'll make a lemonade stand and try to sell cups of lemonade to people walking by.Around 8pm, I start getting ready for bed. I take a shower or bath, put on my pajamas, and brush my teeth again. Then篇2Hi there! My name is Billy and I'm in 5th grade. I love going to school and learning new things every day. Today I want to tell you all about a really cool field trip we took last week.It was a beautiful sunny morning when we loaded up on the big yellow school bus. My best friend Tommy and I raced to get the back seat - that's the best spot on the bus! We were so excited because we were going to the Museum of Natural History in the city. I had been there once before when I was little, but I didn't remember much about it.The bus ride took forever, or at least it felt like it. Tommy and I played I Spy and the License Plate Game to help pass the time.When we finally arrived, I could hardly sit still waiting for everyone to get off the bus. Finally, it was our turn and we hurried up the big stone steps at the entrance.As soon as we walked inside, my jaw dropped open. The museum was huge! The ceilings were so high and there were gigantic dinosaur skeletons and animal exhibits everywhere you looked. Our class gathered around our teacher, Mrs. Jones, as she reminded us about the rules like staying with our buddy and not running off.First up was the dinosaur exhibit and let me tell you, those things were massive! There were terrifying meat-eaters with huge teeth and long-necked plant-eaters that seemed to stretch on forever. My favorite was the Tyrannosaurus Rex. Can you imagine seeing one of those in real life? I'd be so scared!After the dinosaurs, we saw exhibits on the ancient cultures of Egypt, Greece, and Rome. I was amazed by the mummies and golden artifacts from Egyptian tombs. The Greek statues were incredibly detailed and lifelike. And the Roman displays showed what life was like in an ancient city, from their buildings and roads to soldiers' uniforms and weapons. History came alive in a way I'd never experienced before in my textbooks.Next up was the gemstone room, which was breathtaking. The walls were lined with thousands of dazzling rocks, crystals, and minerals from all over the world. Some were small enough to fit in your hand while others were the size of refrigerators! My favorite was the giant amethyst geode that looked like a purple crystal cave you could crawl inside. The gems came in every color imaginable - deep blues, fiery reds, vibrant greens. I could have spent all day in that room.The afternoon flew by as we explored exhibits on the ocean, the rainforest, the Arctic, and more. We saw life-size models of whales and sharks, and walked through a tunnel with trees, plants, and animals from the Amazon rainforest surrounding us on all sides. By the time we made it to the butterfly garden, I thought my brain might explode from sensory overload!The bus ride home felt even longer, but this time it was because we were all so exhausted from our big adventure. Tommy and I could barely keep our eyes open. All I could think about was how lucky we were to have teachers and a school that encouraged us to get out and explore the world beyond our textbooks.That field trip will forever be one of my favorite memories. I have a new appreciation for science, history, and nature afterseeing it all come to life at the museum. Maybe I'll be a paleontologist and dig up dinosaur bones. Or a gemologist and study beautiful rocks and minerals. Or a historian and unlock the secrets of ancient civilizations. Whatever path I choose, I know the museum opened my eyes to the incredible world around me in a way I'll never forget.篇3Hi everyone! My name is Emma, and I'm a 10-year-old girl from a small town in the countryside. I love going to school and learning new things every day. Today, I want to tell you all about my favorite subject – English class!I still remember the first time I stepped into my English classroom. It was like entering a whole new world! The walls were decorated with colorful posters and alphabet charts, and there were even some cute stuffed animals sitting on the shelves. Our teacher, Miss Smith, always had a big smile on her face and made learning English so much fun.One of the things I enjoyed the most was learning new words and phrases. Miss Smith would introduce them to us using flashcards or by acting them out. For example, when she taught us the word "jump," she would actually jump up and down infront of the class, and we would all giggle and repeat after her. It was like a game, and we didn't even realize how much we were learning!Speaking of games, we played a lot of them in English class. One of my favorites was called "Simon Says." Miss Smith would give us instructions like "Simon says touch your nose" or "Simon says clap your hands," and we had to follow her commands only if she said "Simon says" first. It was a great way to practice listening and following directions in English.Another thing I loved about English class was the stories. Miss Smith would read us books filled with colorful illustrations and exciting adventures. Sometimes, she would even have us act out the stories or create our own endings. It was like we were transported into magical worlds filled with talking animals, brave knights, and friendly monsters.One of my favorite memories from English class was when we had a special "International Day." Each of us got to dress up in traditional clothes from a different country and bring in a traditional dish to share with the class. I wore a beautiful kimono and brought in some delicious sushi rolls that my mom had made. It was so much fun learning about different cultures and trying new foods!Another highlight was when we had a pen pal program with a school in England. We got to write letters back and forth with students our age, asking them questions about their lives and sharing stories about our own. It was amazing to make friends from across the world and practice our English writing skills at the same time.One of the things I'm most thankful for is having such a wonderful English teacher like Miss Smith. She made learning fun and exciting, and she never gave up on us, even when we struggled. Thanks to her, I now feel confident speaking, reading, and writing in English, and I'm excited to keep learning and exploring this amazing language.Who knows, maybe one day I'll even get to visit an English-speaking country and put my skills to the test! For now, though, I'm just happy to be in English class, soaking up all the knowledge and adventures that come my way.So, that's a little glimpse into my life as a primary school student learning English. It's been an incredible journey so far, and I can't wait to see where it takes me next!篇4Hi, my name is Lily and I'm a 4th grader at Sunshine Elementary School. I live with my mom, dad, and little brother Tommy who is in 1st grade. Today I want to tell you all about a typical day in my life!Every morning, my mom comes into my room around 7am and gently wakes me up. "Rise and shine, sleepyhead!" she'll say in a sing-song voice. I groan and pull the covers over my head, never wanting to leave my warm, cozy bed. But mom is persistent, tickling my feet until I finally surrender with fits of giggles.Once I'm up, I shuffle to the bathroom to brush my teeth and get dressed for school. I put on my uniform - a white polo shirt, navy blue skirt, and black shoes. Tommy is usually still fast asleep so I try to be quiet as a mouse.Downstairs, the smell of pancakes and syrup greets me. Dad is an amazing cook! He always makes my favorite breakfast on school days. I gobble down the fluffy pancakes, washing them down with a big glass of orange juice. By 8am, Tommy has joined us, his messy hair sticking up in all directions. "Moooorning," he yawns widely.After breakfast, it's a mad dash to get our backpacks and head out the door. Mom drives us the few blocks to school,dropping Tommy off at the elementary building first. I give him a high five before he scampers off. "Have an awesome day!" I call after him.The bell rings just as I reach my classroom. My best friend Emma is already at her desk. "Lily! Did you finish the math homework?" she asks worriedly. I nod and hand her my sheet to copy the answers. The teacher won't mind, I'm sure.First up is English class. I love learning new words and phrases! Today we're talking about hobbies. I raise my hand eagerly when the teacher asks what I like to do for fun. "I love reading fantasy novels," I say. "My favorite is Harry Potter!"By mid-morning, my stomach is growling. Finally it's time for recess and lunch! I buy a peanut butter and jelly sandwich from the cafeteria along with an apple juice box and a chocolate chip cookie. Emma and I find a shady spot on the playground to eat and chat about our latest obsession - K-pop music!After lunch, we have P.E. class. I actually don't mind running laps and doing jumping jacks since it means we get to play dodgeball after! I'm one of the best dodgers in the class. Today's game is intense but my team prevails. "Yeah! We're the champs!"I cheer, doing a silly victory dance with Emma.The rest of the afternoon flies by with science, art, and social studies lessons. By the time 3pm rolls around, I'm dragging my feet. But I put on a burst of energy for my favorite part of the day - the after school club! Today is art club and we're learning how to make clay monsters. I get completely covered in colorful clay but manage to sculpt a pretty cool three-eyed beast.Finally, it's time to go home. I spot mom's car in the pickup line and scramble inside, holding up my clay creation. "Look what I made today!" I exclaim proudly. Mom smiles and says "That's awesome, honey! You'll have to tell me all about it."At home, I spend a blissful hour watching cartoons and snacking on chips before starting my homework. Tonight I have math problems, a spelling worksheet, and have to write a short book report. I put on my favorite playlist to make the work more fun.Around 6pm, dad gets home from his office job. "There are my two favorite kids!" he booms, scooping us up in a big bear hug. We all head to the kitchen to help mom cook dinner - she's making chicken stir fry, my favorite! Even Tommy loves helping by rinsing the veggies.After we eat, it's time for baths and then straight to bed. I snuggle under the covers with a new book from the library,content as can be. Before falling asleep, I think about what an awesome day it was. I can't wait for another fun-filled day of school, friends, and family tomorrow!篇5Hi everyone! My name is Lily and I'm in 5th grade. Today I want to share with you the really cool listening exercises we've been doing in my English class. We use this big green textbook called "Compulsory English Course 1" and it has all these interesting stories and conversations for us to listen to.My favorite one so far is called "A Terrible Dread." It's about this boy named Tim who is really scared of going to the dentist. The story starts with Tim's mom telling him they have a dentist appointment that day. Tim gets really nervous and tries to make up excuses not to go. He says things like "But mom, I'm not feeling well today. Maybe we should go another time." His mom doesn't let him get out of it though!When they get to the dentist's office, Tim is shaking with fear. The dentist calls him in and Tim has to go into the room alone with her. That's when the dentist starts talking in this really soft, gentle voice. She explains everything she's going to do socarefully. She lets Tim hold a little mirror to watch her work on his teeth. And she keeps praising him for being such a brave boy.By the end of the appointment, Tim isn't scared at all anymore! He's so relieved that it wasn't as bad as he thought. His mom is waiting for him and she's really proud of how well he did. The story teaches a good lesson about not being afraid of things before they even happen.Another fun dialogue is called "A Snowy Day." Two friends named Mary and Jane are looking out the window at the snow falling outside. They decide they want to build a snowman, so they put on all their cold weather gear like coats, hats, scarves, and mittens. When they go out to the yard, they start rolling up balls of snow to make the snowman's body. But uh-oh! They can't find anything to use for the arms. That's when they get the idea to use tree branches instead.After decorating their snowman with a hat, scarf, and carrot nose, they decide to have a snowy adventure. The girls make snow angels by swinging their arms and legs back and forth while lying in the snow. Then they have a fun snowball fight, trying to hit each other with packed snow. By the time they go back inside, they're all tuckered out but happy from their snowy day.Let me tell you about one more listening exercise, this one is a speech by a teenage girl named Kate. She's talking about her after-school job working at the mall's pet store. Kate says she has always loved animals ever since she was a little kid. At the pet store, she gets to take care of all the puppies, kittens, hamsters, birds, and fish. Her main jobs are feeding them, cleaning their cages, and playing with them so they get exercise.The best part for Kate is socializing the animals so they'll be friendly when someone adopts them as pets. She especially loves training the puppies to do tricks like sit, stay, and shake. Even though it's a lot of hard work, Kate says it's the perfect job for an animal-lover like her. She feels lucky to spend her after-school hours surrounded by cute furry friends instead of just sitting at home.Those listening exercises are so engaging to me! I love getting to hear the different characters' voices and trying to understand all the details of the stories. My teacher always has us answer comprehension questions or discuss the key points when we're done listening. It really helps me practice my English listening skills in a fun way. I can't wait to keep working through all the great materials in this textbook!篇6Hi there! My name is Emma and I'm a 10-year-old student in 5th grade. I love learning English and listening to stories in my English class. Our teacher often uses the listening materials from the first required English textbook for high school students called "Go for It!" published by FLTRP. Even though it's a high school book, I find the stories really fun and interesting!One of my favorite listening。

Now, what's the aim of this experiment, Zhou Kai?ZHOU KAI : We want to find out if there's a change in weight when magnesium burns in air.MR .CHEN : That's right. So what do we need first?ZHOU KAI : Um ... We need some magnesium . How much do we need? What about this piece? Is this piece OK?MR . CHEN : No, we need rather more than that —about two and a half grams. We need a piece which is much bigger than that.ZHOU KAI : OK ... And we need a Bunsenburner ... a balance ... and a crucible to put the metal in ... Here they all are ... Where do we go from here?MR . CHEN : Well, first, put the magnesium in the crucible . Then put the crucible on the balance and weigh it.ZHOU KAI : OK...MR . How much does it weigh? Take aCHEN : look, everyone. Is it any heavier?ZHOU KAI : Um ... It weighs two and a half grams.Do you want me to write that down?MR .CHEN : Yes, write it down. What next?ZHOU KAI : Yes ... Um, next, we're going to heat the magnesium .

It's so different from Sydney, where I live.Lingling: Now I'm fascinated. Tell me about the differences, as you see them.Richard: Well, Sydney's a younger city than Beijing. Beijing has a lot more inhabitants and ismuch more crowded.Lingling: Yes, we certainly have a huge population, like most Chinese cities.Richard: It's very exciting, as a result. And there's so much construction going on.Lingling: I know, we're growing very fast. For example, I don't think we have as many freeways as Sydney does, but we soon will!Richard: I believe you! I think there are fewer tourists in Beijing—at least for now. And I get the feeling that Beijing's less dangerous.Lingling: Yes, there's probably a lot less crime here.Richard: What about the climate? I think Sydney has less rain.Lingling: Yes, we can get a lot of rain in July and August.Richard: I've noticed! It's pouring at the moment!Lingling: The good thing about the rain, of course, is that it washes the pollution away.Richard: I've noticed that too. We don't have as much pollution as you do.Lingling: That's because you have less industry. The air can get quite polluted here...Ok, so that covers a lot of the differences. But are there any similarities?Richard: Oh yes...for example, I notice the wealth and the energy.Lingling: Sorry, I didn't get that.Richard: The wealth and energy. I think there are as many rich people here as in Sydney... and I think your city is just as lively as mine.Lingling: That's good to hear. So shall we go out this evening and find some of the action?Module 2 Listening (workbook, Page 76)Speaker 1My name is John and I'm an engineer. I'm 48 years old and I'm from Australia. I'm a volunteer worker for a development organisation in Albania. It's the poorest country in Europe. I'm working on a water project here.I'm helping people in the mountain villages in the north of the country. Most people here are farmers and they are very poor.One of the biggest problems in my villages is water. None of the houses has running water and people have to travel a long way to get water. I'm helping the local people build a water system which will bring clean water tothe village. I really like this work. It's a fantastic project because it will change people's lives.Speaker 2My name's Sarah and I'm from the UK. I'm 25 years old and I am a nurse. I'm working for eighteen months at a medical centre in a small town in Sierra Leone in Africa. There's a serious AIDS problem here and there aren't enough doctors and nurses. I am teaching local women to look after the people who are ill.I also visit schools in the area and teach children about AIDS. I find the work very hard because so many poor people are ill. I have to work long hours. I am pleased to do this work but sometimes I feel very unhappy because of the poverty. These people don't have enough money to pay for the medicine they need.Speaker 3My name's Katie and I'm from Canada. I'm 23 years old and I've just finished university. This year I'm working as a volunteer on an education project in Calcutta, in India. Thousands of children here do not go to school because their parents can't pay for it. My organisation is building schools in the poor areas of the city. I am working as a teacher at one of these new primary schools. I find the work difficult because of the terrible poverty. Many of the children don't wear shoes and they are always hungry. But they are very happy to learn to read and write and they work very hard. I'm pleased to be able to help people who are not as lucky as I am.Module 3Reporter: I'm standing in the centre of Plymouth, the capital of Montserrat, where just one week ago, a volcanic eruption took place. With me is Frank Savage, the governor of theisland. Mr Savage, thank you for talking to us.Savage: You're welcome.Reporter: What exactly happened last week?Savage: Well, the volcano erupted, and ash and lava poured down the mountain towards the sea.Unfortunately, there are several villages in its path.Reporter: That's terrible. Was anybody hurt?Savage: No. Luckily, we had plenty of warning and I told people who lived in the path of the ash and lava to leave the island. We managed to get half the population to another islandbefore the eruption took place.Reporter: Why are you still here?Savage: Well, I'm still working because there's a lot to do.Reporter: How many people live on the island?Savage: Eleven thousand people live here and about six thousand people have left.Reporter: Which areas are the most dangerous?Savage: Well, the most dangerous places are between the volcano and the sea. There are a lot of villages there. And it was very dangerous. Sadly, hundreds of houses caught fire whenthe lava reached them.Reporter: Oh, I'm very sorry to hear that.Savage: Thankfully, no one was killed.Reporter: Are the houses still on fire?Savage: No. Fortunately, we put all the fires out quite quickly.Reporter: That's very good news. Well, it's a beautiful sunny day here in Plymouth. Does thismean that the danger is over?Savage: No! The volcano could erupt again! People must understand that it is still verydangerous and they can't go back to their houses.Reporter: OK—so that's the message from the governor —don't go back to your houses. When will people be able to return home?Savage: We don't know at the moment. Hopefully, it won't be too long.Reporter: Thank you for your time, Mr Savage.Savage: Thank you.Module 3 Listening (workbook, Page 83)Speaker 1EyewitnessI was driving home from town with some friends when we saw the tornado moving towards a village. It was an amazing sight. It turned all the cars in one street over. Luckily, it didn't go through the middle of the village because it destroyed everything in its path. After it had disappeared, we immediately went to help people. Thankfully, the rescue workers arrived very quickly.Speaker 2Radio news presenterAt 10 pm last night, a tornado hit the village of Amity in Texas. Three people were killed and at least 30 people were injured. The police are worried about a 65-year old man who has disappeared. They would like him to contact this number: 0762 874 531.The tornado has caused a lot of material damage and it has destroyed 17 houses. At least 100 people are now homeless. Rescue workers arrived in the village within minutes and they are still looking for victims.Speaker 3Rescue workerWe were the first team to arrive in Amity. We got there about half an hour after the tornado had hit the village and it was an unbelievable sight. The biggest problem we had was getting into the village. Unfortunately, the road was blocked with cars and damaged buildings so we had to take the injured to hospital. We used a helicopter to take the injured to hospital. Now the main problem we have is the people who have lost their homes. Fortunately, everyone is helping the homeless.Speaker 4ScientistTornadoes are extremely violent winds and they are quite frequent in the southern states of the US, especially at this time of year. Statistics show that there are more tornadoes in June than in other months. This particular tornado was extremely violent, about 250 kilometres an hour. Fortunately, it only lasted about five minutes. We would like to take this opportunity to warn people that if they are out of doors when a tornado approaches it is important to lie down or go under a bridge. And never stay in your car.Module 4(int=interviewer)Int: David, what do you see as the main problems with the environment?D.U: Well, in a nutshell, the most urgent problem of all is the climate. The world's climate seemsto be getting warmer.Int: We've seen a lot of evidence of that, haven't we? Hotter summers, warmer winters, that kind of thing.D.U: Yes, we have. Also, scientists have found that the ice at the Poles is beginning to melt.Int: We've heard that too. Is that really happening?D.U: Yes, I'm afraid it is. And at sometime in the future, the ice may melt completely. Then it'sPossible that the sea could rise and coastal cities like New York and Shanghai coulddisappear under water.Int: It sounds very frightening.D.U: I couldn't agree with you more. It's scary!Int: Can you explain why the climate's getting warmer?D.U: Well, I'll do my best! It's pollution that's the problem. Gases from cars enter the atmosphereand stop the sun's heat from leaving the atmosphere. And factories give out chemicals that do the same thing. So as a result, the climate is getting warmer.Int: From what I understand, carbon dioxide from cars is a major problem.D.U: You're absolutely right. Carbon dioxide is the gas that does most damage to the atmosphere.But we have a problem with trees too. You see, trees give out oxygen and take in carbondioxide. So they're very useful because they use up the carbon dioxide.Int: I know what you're going to say. We're cutting down all the trees.D.U: Yes, we cut them down because we need the land and because we use the wood for paper andfurniture. That leaves more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.Int: It's a terrible situation.D.U: Yes, and another problem is all the garbage that we produce. We burn a lot of garbage, andonce again, the gases pollute the atmosphere. The situation couldn't be worse, really.Int: We should recycle garbage, not burn it.D.U: Of course we should.Int: It's strange, we know all this, and yet we do nothing but talk about it. I can't help but feel very concerned.D.U: Yes, well, it is worrying. But governments are beginning to do something about it. I don'tthink it's too late.Module 4 Listening (workbook, Page 88)A: Have you heard? The British government is planning to tax plastic bags.B: Yes, it was on the news. They want to reduce the amount of rubbish. I can't help but feel that it'sa good idea because they can't be recycled.A: They've already done it in Ireland. If you go to a supermarket there you have to pay for each plastic bag.B: So most people use the same bags over again, do they?A: Yes. And the supermarket sells thick plastic bags which last longer.B: And there's a lot less rubbish in the streets, is there?A: Yes. But it's not just in Europe that plastic bags are damaging the environment. In many developing countries it's even worse. They're causing a serious pollution problem. In South Africa, for example, they call plastic bags the national flower because the wind blows them everywhere. Now the government has banned them and you can go to prison for 10 years if you use them.B: In Bangladesh too. They say that plastic bags were largely responsible for the terrible floods in 1988 and 1998. They blocked the drains and rainwater couldn't flow away.A: It's scary. They don't look dangerous but there are so many that they can kill. In India, cows eat them in the street and they die.B: In some parts of India they are banned. From what I understand, you can go to prison for 7 years if you use them.A: I can't help but feel that sending people to prison is very hard.B: That's because the situation is so serious. And people are not reasonable. They won't change their habits.A: Yes. And it isn't difficult to re-use the same bags over again.B: Or take a shopping basket or use paper bags.A: Some supermarkets in Britain are giving people natural bags. They're made from plants and will break down easily into carbon and water.B: In many places they say that people who produce plastic bags will lose their jobs.A: That's true. But there will be new jobs in the recycling industry, and making natural bags. That will create jobs too.B: Yes. I think that these new laws are excellent and they can't but help the environment.A: You're absolutely right. But there is still a lot to be done. We will have to recycle more of our rubbish. If we don't we'll be swimming in garbage in a few years' time!Module 5China has given the world many important inventions. To give an example, it is the country in which silk was first invented. Silk was made there as long ago as 3200 BC. Chinese farmers grew mulberry leaves because they knew that a certain kind of caterpillar ate them. The Chinese did not tell other countries how silk was made and other countries how silk was made and other countries paid a lot for this soft, strong material.Su Song was an eleventh century monk about whom very little is know. However, we do know that in 1092 AD he invented the first real clock. For the first time ever, it became possible to tell the time. In the 1950s a copy was built and this copy can be seen today in Beijing.They say that a man called Cai Lun made paper from the bark of a tree in about 105 AD. If so, he is a man of whom China can be proud. Paper was a very important invention because it was cheap and people could afford to buy it. Before that time, writers had used expensive materials such as silk. The invention was immediately successful. However, paper did not spread to other countries for another 500 years.Printing was invented in China as early as 868 AD. The book in which printing first appeared was called The Diamond Sutra. With printing, it became possible t produce many copies at the same time. In 1041 AD, a chemistcalled Bi Sheng invented a type of print that could move. It was not until 1454 that the first book was printed in Europe.The first time that we hear of a real toothbrush is in a Chinese book of 1498 AD. This toothebrush could clean teeth quickly and well. The toothbrush only reached Europe in the seventeenth century, when it quickly became very popular.Module 5 Listening (workbook, Page 94)Int: Most people know that the Chinese invented paper and silk but we learn from your book that many other everyday objects were invented in China—the wheelbarrow, for instance.Hist: Yes. Not many people know that the wheelbarrow comes from China.Int: Do we know who invented it?Hist: It is thought that it was a man called Zhuge Liang who invented it. He was a Chinese army general who lived from 181 AD to 234 AD. The soldiers used the invention to carry heavy things around the army camp. It was also used to carry injured soldiers.Int: Was it like a modern day wheelbarrow?Hist: No. Today they have only one wheel and they are light. The early ones had two wheels and were extremely heavy. Two people were needed to push it.Int: Another invention in your book is the umbrella.Hist: That's right. This is thought to have come from China too.Int: Who invented it?Hist: We don't know. But we believe that umbrellas are very ancient. They first existed in China 2000 years ago. We also know that they were made of silk and mulberry bark because we have found ancient pictures of umbrellas. These very early umbrellas were parasols which were used to protect against the sun. Umbrellas to protect against rain came later.Int: And of course you talk about the invention of porcelain. Can you tell us more about that?Hist: That goes back a long time. The Chinese were very skilled at making pottery. We know that from the fantastic sculptures of soldiers and horses dating back to the Qin Dynasty in 221 BC that were discovered in Shaanxi Province. They later developed the same techniques to make porcelain. The world's oldest porcelain producing factory was discovered a few years ago at Xiaoxiantan in Zhejiang Province. It was used during the Eastern Han Dynasty between 25 AD and 220 AD. The reason why porcelain is also called china in English is that for centuries all porcelain came from China. The technique didn't spread to other countries until the 16th century.Int: And the compass. Who invented that?Hist: That's a mystery too. But they say that the world's first compass was made in China during the Qin Dynasty in the second century BC. The first person to have used a compass on a boat was Zheng He. He was a sailor from Yunnan Province who made 7 ocean voyages in the 15th century.Module 61M: What are you looking for?W: A map of China.M: I've got a book here that has lots of maps of China. It's called Maps of the World. Which placeare you looking for?W: I'm trying to find the Three Gorges Dam.M: Is it a big dam?W: Big—it's absolutely enormous!2M: I saw a film on TV about a dam last night.W: Really? Which one? The Three Gorges Dam?M: No. The film I saw wasn't about the Three Gorges Dam.W: Wasn't it?M: No. It was another dam. It was in Egypt.W: Was it an interesting film?M: Interesting? It was absolutely fascinating!3W: We visited the Three Gorges Dam in December.M: Really? How did you get there?W: We took a boat that went up the Yangtze River.M: Was it a nice trip?W: Nice? It was absolutely wonderful!4W: What are you doing?M: I'm writing an email to some people I met on the boat.W: Where are they from?M: Vietnam. They were on a visit organised by the government.W: How many of them were there?M: Well, I spoke to a man who said there were 25 in the group.Module 6 Listening (workbook, Page 101)A: Did you see the programme about China on TV last night?B: No. Was it interesting?A: It was absolutely fascinating. It's an amazing country.B: What was it about?A: It showed some of the big construction projects there. I mean really enormous.B: Like the Three Gorges Dam?A: Yes. They interviewed some people who lived in a village which is now submerged.B: How many people moved their homes?A: Over 1.2 million. I was absolutely astonished. It's hard to believe. Everything in China is bigger than anywhere else. They've started another huge water project there. It's absolutely enormous and it's going to cost more than the Dam.B: What's that?A: They're building three canals to take water from the Yangtze up to the north of the country. Mao Zedong suggested it 50 years ago but it's only now they have taken the decision. Each canal will be over 1000 km long.They will flow into the Hai, Huai and Yellow Rivers.B: Why are they doing that?A: A third of the population lives in northern China and there isn't enough water for people there. It's become c real problem for agriculture and industry. Even in Bejing there is a water problem. And there's too much water in the south. There are serious floods in parts of southern China. They hope to solve that problem too.B: Wow! How much is it going to cost?A: They're not sure but probably over $24 billion.B: It must be very complicated. How are they going to do it?A: They've already started. They're using the Grand Canal for one river. For another one they're building a tunnel under the mountains near Tibet. That's the most difficult part. And they're building another tunnel under the Yellow River. That's not easy either.B: Will many people move their homes?A: Yes. Hundreds of thousands. They don't know the exact number.B: How long is it going to take?A: Up to 50 years.B: It's certainly going to change people's lives. Hopefully, it will improve them.Great Britain is an island that lies off the northwest coast of Europe. The nearest country is France, which is twenty miles away, and from which Great Britain is separated by the English Channel. The island is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean to the west, and the North Sea to the east. It is composed of England, Wales and Scotland. Scotland is in the north, while Wales is in the west. Ireland, which is also an island, lies off the west coast of Great Britain. It consists of Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic. Great Britain, together with Northern Ireland, constitutes the United Kingdom. The largest of these is England. The capital city, London, is situated in southeast England.Mary: Good morning, Charlie!Charlie: Good morning, Mary! How's your holiday?Mary: It's really great! I travelled Europe with my family.Charlie: Then you must have been to Paris. You are so crazy about the Eiffel Tower.Mary: Sure. And I've also been to the Acropolis Hill in Athens, the Uffizi Palace in Florence, and the Sagrada Familia in Bacelona. Also, I went to London to see Big Ben.Charlie: That's really a nice holiday.The Sinking of the TitanicWhen the Titanic was built, she was the largest ship in the world. It had taken fifty thousand men, two years to build her. She was two hundred and sixty-nine meters long, and as high as an eleven-storey building. She was enormous. In fact, the word "Titanic" is often used to describe something which is very powerful, strong, important, or large. Built because of increased tourist travel between North America and Europe, mainly rich Americans who expected both speed and luxury, the Titanic was like a floating palace—everything about her was beautiful and comfortable. She was also impossible to sink, or that's what everyone thought. The Titanic left Southampton on the southeast coast of England for New York on the 10th of April, 1912. She stopped first inFrance, and then in Ireland, before setting off across the Atlantic Ocean. In total, there were 1632 passengers on board. Nine hundred and seven crew members looked after them. Four days, after leaving Southampton, the Titanic captain received not one, but four iceberg warnings. Icebergs are very dangerous for ships: only ten percent of an iceberg can be seen above the water. But the weather was clear, and the captain decided to continue without reducing the ship's speed. It is possible that he was trying to break a record for crossing the Atlantic. At 11:40 pm, the ship hit an iceberg, which cut a hole about 100 metres long under water. The passengers were not told, but the Titanic could not survive this terrible damage. It was dark and freezing cold. The ship was filling with water. There was no time to waste. Women and children were told to climb into the ship's lifeboats, but there were not enough lifeboats for all the passengers. In addition, some of them were lowered to the sea, half empty. Finally, at 2:20 am, the Titanic sank to the bottom of the sea. Nine hundred and sixteen passengers and 773 crew died in the icy water. It was the biggest disaster at sea the world has known. Many books have been written about the Titanic disaster. Everyone for Himself, the last one on the long list, was published in 1997. In that year, the film Titanic was made. Perhaps you have seen it.11。

We're going to see her once a week.DIANE : A nd what do you think?ROB : Well, learning Chinese isn't going to be easy —but (2)thefirst lesson was very enjoyable —I liked it a lot .(3) Mr.Davies gave us a lot of encouragement —he made us feelreally good about being there. (5)The most importantthing at the beginning is pronunciation, getting the soundsright —and he was very good at correction —he said it didn't matter if we made mistakes.(4) I think we all made a lotof progress —in just an hour!DIANE : T hat's great.ROB : W hat about Spanish? Did you start yet?DIANE : Yes, we did. The teacher is nice, but I already speak someSpanish and the rest of the class are really beginners. (7)I misunderstood the teacher —I thought she said the classwas for people who already speak Spanish. I'm not sure ifI'm going to make much progress.ROB : O h, I'm sure things will improve.DIANE : Maybe —actually, (8)I was a bit disappointed —sheexplained everything in English.ROB : O h, that's too bad.Listening and Speaking (Student's Book p. 70)BOY : H ave you joined any school clubs yet?GIRL : Yes, I have.

I do think that teachers need to be strict, but they don't need to be very strict. I do believe that discipline is important. Yes, I like teachers who are amusing. I think you enjoy the lesson more and so you learn more. And I agree with the statement that the most popular teachers are very kind. Everyone likes kind people. Of course, good teachers always return homework quickly. I think that's very important. And the next statement is obviously true, a teacher must check that everyone in the class understands. What about the next statement? No, I don't agree with that at all. There are times when a teacher needs to talk without interruption. And the last statement —It doesn't matter if a teacher is not organised. That's really stupid. A teacher must be organised. How can a student learn if the teacher isn't organised?Listening and Vocabulary (Student's Book p. 15)MR .

Everyone studies English and we can do Japanese or Russian as well. That's if it fits into our timetable.ELLA : A nd do you learn another language?BILL : Yes. I do Japanese.

ELLA : I 'm studying Chinese.BILL : You're lucky! I'd rather learn Chinese than Japanese. Morepeople speak Chinese around the world and I love listening to Chinese songs and music.ELLA : So do I.

(Student's Book: p. 89)Speaker 1I don't want to live too far from my parents' home. I'd like to be able to visit them at weekends and enjoy the quiet of the countryside. And when they grow older, I won't live too far away, but I would like to live in a big city where there are a great many things to do. I think it's easier to find a good job in a city because there are more employment opportunities.Speaker 2I've lived here with my parents all my life but we haven't always lived in this apartment block. We've only just moved into this apartment. Until recently, we lived in a fifteen-storey high-rise building about a half a mile away. It was near a very noisy road and my mother didn't like it there. So we are pleased with our new home.Speaker 3It's an ideal place to live, especially for young people because it's a very lively town. I never get bored because there are a great many things to do here. There is a modern shopping centre and a new cinema which shows all the latest films. There is an attractive city centre with traditional stone buildings. There's a huge park where you can imagine you are in the countryside.Speaker 4Well, local people are very friendly and everyone knows everyone else. But that is the only good thing about life here. There is nothing for young people to do and there are no buses back from town at night. There are no shops here and the post office has closed down. There are no employment opportunities here either. Personally, I'd much rather live in a city.Speaker 5I live on a farm in the countryside. I don't like living in the city because it's noisy and dirty and the people there aren't friendly. I live in a very small apartment and I have to share a room with my brother. Our apartment is in a suburb and the architecture is not very attractive. My dream is to belong to a small community.Module 5Vocabulary and Listening (Student's Book: p. 41)1. Water exists as a solid, a liquid and a gas.2. When you heat a metal, it expands.3.

Come a bit closer. The closer you are, the more you'll see! That's right! Now, what's the aim of this experiment, Zhou Kai? ZHOU KAI : We want to find out if there's a change in weight when magnesium burns in air.MR .CHEN : T hat's right. So what do we need first?ZHOU KAI : Um ... We need some magnesium. How much do we need? What about this piece? Is this piece OK?MR . CHEN : No, we need rather more than that —about two and a half grams. We need a piece which is much bigger than that.ZHOU KAI : OK ... And we need a Bunsen burner ... a balance ... and acrucible to put the metal in ... Here they all are ... Where do we go from here?MR . CHEN : Well, first, put the magnesium in the crucible. Then put the crucible on the balance and weigh it.ZHOUKAI : O K...MR . CHEN : How much does it weigh? Take a look, everyone. Is it any heavier? ZHOU KAI : Um ... It weighs two and a half grams. Do you want me to write that down?MR .CHEN : Y es, write it down. What next?ZHOU Y es ... Um, next, we're going to heat the magnesium. So IKAI : l ight the Bunsen burner. After that, I hold the crucible overit ... Oh look, it's burning with a white light! It's gettingbrighter and brighter!MR . CHEN : It's pretty, isn't it? Keep the noise down, boys and girls, please.ZHOU KAI : Um ... lastly, we need to weigh the magnesium again ... It weighs four grams now.MR .CHEN : S o what does that tell you?ZHOUKAI : I t weighs a little more than before.MR .CHEN : H ow much more?ZHOUKAI : 1.5 grams more.MR .CHEN : A nd what does that mean? ZHOU KAI : It means that there is a change in weight when magnesium burns in air.MR . CHEN : You've got it! Well done! So now, let's do the sameexperiment with copper. Come along, Li Kang, it's your turn now. What do you think will happen if you heat copper? LI KANG : I think it'll be a lot heavier than magnesium. Shall I begin?MR .CHEN : Y es, go ahead!Listening and Speaking (Student's Book: p. 95)The aim of this experiment is to write a secret message with invisible ink.For the experiment, you need the following things: a lemon, a small container, a pen, some white writing paper, a candle and some matches.First, squeeze the lemon and pour the juice into a container. A glass or a cup will be fine.Next, take your pen and dip it into the lemon juice then write your message in large letters on a clean sheet of white writing paper.After that, blow on the paper to dry the lemon juice. Your secret message is ready and you can exchange messages with another student.Next, light a candle with the matches. Finally, hold the paper near the candle flame.The message will gradually appear on the paper. The words are a light brown colour.The message appears on the paper when you heat it because the lemon juice reacts with oxygen in the air. This reaction produces a brown coloured oxide which you can see.Module 6Listening and Vocabulary (Student's Book: p. 54)INTERVIEWER : Hello and welcome to Education Today.

Please come. What can I do for you? MRS .W U : I 'm worried about my daughter, Mr. Han.MR .HAN : Y es, I'm a little worried about Du Juan, too.MRS . WU : Before she became interested in the Internet she was a very hard-working student. Her exam results were always very good. Now she spends a lot of time on her computer. MR . HAN : Yes, she was always one of the top students in the class, but her grades have fallen recently.MRS . WU : Exactly. She's changed a lot. Every day, after school, she goes straight to her bedroom and stays there for several hours. When I ask her what she is doing, she tells me that she is busy with her schoolwork and she needs to look for information on the Internet. But it's not true. A few days ago I discovered that she was surfing the Internet and visiting lots of different websites. She spends most of her time chatting with strangers on ICQ. This is very worrying!MR . HAN : I agree with you. This is a concern for many parents and teachers, Mrs. Wu. We're all worried that some information on the Internet may not be suitable for children. In my opinion, some websites can be very offensive. And many young people seem to have a lot of trust in information they find on the Internet.MRS . WU : I am also afraid that my daughter may make friends with strange people through ICQ and chat groups. I mean, there are some dangerous people out there.MR . P eople say the Internet is one of the greatest inventions. ItHAN : i mproves communication among people and helps the development of science and technology. It is also easy andefficient to get new information from the Internet. However, it causes a lot of problems, too. And children need to know about the dangers. If you want my personal opinion, Mrs. Wu, I think you should talk to your daughter.MRS . WU : I want to talk to my daughter but I don't know very much about computers. And I know she won't listen to me. MR .HAN : W ould you like me to talk to her?MRS . WU : I would be very grateful, Mr. Han. I'm sure she'll listen to you.MR . HAN : Well, I'll have a chat with her.

Listening and Vocabulary (Student's Book: p. 54)INTERVIEWER : Hello and welcome to Education Today. Today, we're talking about the Internet. Is the Internet a good thing for education? With me in the studio are Ann Baker, who's a teacher, Tom Grant, who's 17 and still at school, and Tom's mother Pat. Welcome to the show,everyone. If I can talk to you first, Ann, do you think that the Internet is a good thing or a bad thing?ANN : Well, there are good and bad things about the Internet, but I think we should concentrate on the good things. The Internet has fantastic information about all kinds of things, and for this reason I think it's very good for students to use it.INTERVIEWER : Do you allow your students to use the Internet during school time?ANN : Absolutely! They have Internet classes once a week. It's a chance for them to do some independent work. I make sure they have a reason to use theInternet.INTERVIEWER : What do you think are the badthings about using the Internet?ANN : Well, we all know that there are some terrible sites on the Internet. We must make sure that students look for information on interesting and useful sites.INTERVIEWER : I see. Thank you. Well, I also have Pat and Tom Grant with me. Tom, how often do you use theInternet?TOM : Every day.INTERVIEWER : At school or at home?TOM : At school and at home.INTERVIEWER : How much time do you spend onthe Internet at home?TOM : As much time as I can. About five hours.INTERVIEWER : Five hours a week?TOM : No! Five hours a day!INTERVIEWER : And what do you do on theInternet? Do you study?TOM : Yes, it's good to study on the Internet.INTERVIEWER : Is it better than studying atschool?TOM : Well, they're different. I like studying at school as well.INTERVIEWER : Pat, what do you think about that?PAT : Well, I'm happy when Tom is studying on the Internet, but he doesn't always study. INTERVIEWER : What do you mean?PAT : Well, there are a lot of music sites that he likes. And he spends a lot of time reading about his favourite football team.INTERVIEWER : So you would prefer it if he didn'tdo that.PAT : No —I want him to study and enjoy himself. But studying is important. And studying from books is important.INTERVIEWER : More important than studying onthe Internet?PAT : Studying is the important thing.。

So have I.ROB : Really? Which language are you studying?DIANE : Spanish. Which language are YOU studying?ROB : Chinese.DIANE : Is that right? Cool! How was it?ROB : It was good. The teacher's name is Mr. Davies.DIANE : Mr. Davies?ROB : Yes,(1) he isn't Chinese, obviously, but he's fluent inChinese . And there's an assistant teacher called Miss Wang.She IS Chinese. We're going to see her once a week.DIANE : And what do you think?ROB : Well, learning Chinese isn't going to be easy —but (2)the firstlesson was very enjoyable —I liked it a lot .(3) Mr. Daviesgave us a lot of encouragement —he made us feel really goodabout being there. (5)The most important thing at thebeginning is pronunciation, getting the sounds right —and hewas very good at correction —he said it didn't matter if wemade mistakes.(4) I think we all made a lot of progress —injust an hour!DIANE : That's great.ROB : What about Spanish? Did you start yet?DIANE : Yes, we did. The teacher is nice, but I already speak someSpanish and the rest of the class are really beginners. (7)Imisunderstood the teacher —I thought she said the class wasfor people who already speak Spanish. I'm not sure if I'mgoing to make much progress.ROB : Oh, I'm sure things will improve.DIANE : Maybe —actually, (8)I was a bit disappointed —she explainedeverything in English.ROB : Oh, that's too bad.Listening and Speaking (Student's Book p. 70)BOY : Have you joined any school clubs yet?GIRL : Yes, I have. I'm really interested in photography, so I joinedthe Camera Club.BOY : That's interesting. Where do you have your meetings?GIRL : In Room 303.BOY : Right. How often do you meet?

That should be big enough, I guess!Module 2Vocabulary and Listening (Student's Book p. 11)I don't agree that all good teachers talk a lot. Some good teachers talk a lot and some don't. I do think that teachers need to be strict , but they don't need to be very strict . I do believe that discipline is important. Yes, I like teachers who are amusing . I think you enjoy the lesson more and so you learn more. And I agree with the statement that the most popular teachers are very kind. Everyone likes kind people. Of course, good teachers always return homework quickly. I think that's very important. And the next statement is obviously true, a teacher must check that everyone in the class understands. What about the next statement? No, I don't agree with that at all. There are times when a teacher needs to talk without interruption. And the last statement —It doesn't matter if a teacher is not organised . That's really stupid. A teacher must be organised . How can a student learn if the teacher isn't organised ?Listening and Vocabulary (Student's Book p. 15)MR . STANTON : Okay, kids, as you know, the exams are coming up soon,so we need to start work on revision . This afternoon I'mgoing to give you a choice.

But beforewe start, there are a couple of things I need to say to you.Firstly, have you all got your new timetables ?CHORUS : Yes.MR . STANTON : Good. Can you take a look at them? OK. Now, at presentyou have a free period on Tuesday afternoons. Well,that's been changed and you've got French instead. Haveyou got that?CHORUS : Yes.MR . STANTON : Excellent. And there's one other thing. The headmasterwants to see everyone in the library at three thisafternoon. OK?CHORUS : Yes.MR .STANTON : Right.

I've just had a difficult class, though.JANE : Oh, what was the problem?SIMON : I have a couple of lazy students in my class. Take a look atthis homework. It's terrible.JANE : You're right. It's very bad.SIMON : I expect students to listen carefully and work hard, but thesetwo kids just don't want to do any work at all. They keepcoming to class late and they don't stop talking. They're aproblem because they disturb all the other students.JANE : Do they behave badly in other lessons or is it only in Englishclasses?SIMON : Their maths teacher says they don't work in her lessonseither. Only the PE teacher is pleased with them. He saysthey love doing sport and they are very good at it!JANE : Why don't you speak to the headmistress about them?SIMON : I'd rather deal with the problem myself.JANE : Well, it's up to you. But they're only in their first year ofSenior High. I suggest you speak to their parents. Maybethey need extra help.SIMON : Perhaps you're right. I'll consider talking to their parents.Listening and Speaking II (Student's Book p. 77)ELLA : What languages do they teach at your school, Bill?BILL : English, Japanese and Russian. Everyone studies English and we can do Japanese or Russian as well. That's if it fits into our timetable .ELLA : And do you learn another language?BILL : Yes. I do Japanese. But I don't enjoy studying it because I find the grammar very difficult. My parents wanted me to learn it. What about you Ella? What languages are you doing?ELLA : I'm studying Chinese.BILL : You're lucky! I'd rather learn Chinese than Japanese. Morepeople speak Chinese around the world and I love listening to Chinese songs and music.ELLA : So do I. And I like doing Chinese. But I also like to learnRussian. I want to go to Russia one day.BILL : It's OK. But Chinese is more useful.ELLA : Yes, I agree.BILL : Anyway, I think all Europeans should learn Chinese at school today.

We've certainly done our best tohelp people find employment .INTERVIEWER : I'm sure you have!Where Do They Like to Live? (Student's Book: p. 89)Speaker 1I don't want to live too far from my parents' home. I'd like to be able to visit them at weekends and enjoy the quiet of the countryside. And when they grow older, I won't live too far away, but I would like to livein a big city where there are a great many things to do. I think it's easier to find a good job in a city because there are more employment opportunities.Speaker 2I've lived here with my parents all my life but we haven't always lived in this apartment block. We've only just moved into this apartment. Until recently, we lived in a fifteen-storey high-rise building about a half a mile away. It was near a very noisy road and my mother didn't like it there. So we are pleased with our new home. Speaker 3It's an ideal place to live, especially for young people because it's a very lively town. I never get bored because there are a great many things to do here. There is a modern shopping centre and a new cinema which shows all the latest films. There is an attractive city centre with traditional stone buildings. There's a huge park where you can imagine you are in the countryside.Speaker 4Well, local people are very friendly and everyone knows everyone else. But that is the only good thing about life here. There is nothing for young people to do and there are no buses back from town at night. There are no shops here and the post office has closed down. There are no employment opportunities here either. Personally, I'd much rather live in a city.Speaker 5I live on a farm in the countryside. I don't like living in the city because it's noisy and dirty and the people there aren't friendly. I live in a very small apartment and I have to share a room with my brother. Our apartment is in a suburb and the architecture is not very attractive. My dream is to belong to a small community.Module 5Vocabulary and Listening (Student's Book: p. 41)1. Water exists as a solid, a liquid and a gas.2. When you heat a metal, it expands.3. Steel is a mixture of iron and other substances.4. Two-thirds of the earth's surface is water.5. The distance of the sun from the earth is 150 500 500 kilometres.6. The earth is 4.6 billion years old.7. The earth is forty-nine times larger than the moon.Listening and Writing (Student's Book: p. 46)MR.OK, boys and girls, we're going to do an experiment. Come aCHEN : bit closer. The closer you are, the more you'll see! That'sright! Now, what's the aim of this experiment, Zhou Kai?ZHOU KAI : We want to find out if there's a change in weight whenmagnesium burns in air.MR .CHEN : That's right. So what do we need first?ZHOU KAI : Um ... We need some magnesium . How much do we need? What about this piece? Is this piece OK?MR . CHEN : No, we need rather more than that —about two and a half grams. We need a piece which is much bigger than that.ZHOU KAI : OK ... And we need a Bunsen burner ... a balance ... and acrucible to put the metal in ... Here they all are ... Where do we go from here?MR . CHEN : Well, first, put the magnesium in the crucible . Then put the crucible on the balance and weigh it.ZHOUKAI : OK...MR . CHEN : How much does it weigh? Take a look, everyone. Is it any heavier?ZHOU KAI : Um ... It weighs two and a half grams. Do you want me to write that down?MR .CHEN : Yes, write it down. What next?ZHOU KAI : Yes ... Um, next, we're going to heat the magnesium . So Ilight the Bunsen burner. After that, I hold the crucible overit ... Oh look, it's burning with a white light! It's getting brighter and brighter!MR . CHEN : It's pretty , isn't it? Keep the noise down, boys and girls,please.ZHOU KAI : Um ... lastly, we need to weigh the magnesium again ... It weighs four grams now.MR .CHEN : So what does that tell you?ZHOUKAI : It weighs a little more than before.MR .CHEN : How much more?ZHOUKAI : 1.5 grams more.MR .CHEN : And what does that mean?ZHOU KAI : It means that there is a change in weight when magnesium burns in air.MR . CHEN : You've got it! Well done! So now, let's do the sameexperiment with copper . Come along, Li Kang, it's your turn now. What do you think will happen if you heat copper ? LI KANG : I think it'll be a lot heavier than magnesium . Shall I begin?MR .CHEN : Yes, go ahead!Listening and Speaking (Student's Book: p. 95)The aim of this experiment is to write a secret message with invisible ink.For the experiment, you need the following things: a lemon, a small container, a pen, some white writing paper, a candle and some matches.First, squeeze the lemon and pour the juice into a container. A glass or a cup will be fine.Next, take your pen and dip it into the lemon juice then write your message in large letters on a clean sheet of white writing paper.After that, blow on the paper to dry the lemon juice. Your secret message is ready and you can exchange messages with another student.Next, light a candle with the matches. Finally, hold the paper near the candle flame .The message will gradually appear on the paper. The words are a light brown colour.The message appears on the paper when you heat it because the lemon juice reacts with oxygen in the air. This reaction produces a brown coloured oxide which you can see.Module 6Listening and Vocabulary (Student's Book: p. 54)INTERVIEWER : Hello and welcome to Education Today.

Please come. What can I do for you? MRS .W U : I'm worried about my daughter, Mr. Han.MR .HAN : Yes, I'm a little worried about Du Juan, too.MRS . WU : Before she became interested in the Internet she was a very hard-working student. Her exam results were always very good. Now she spends a lot of time on her computer. MR . HAN : Yes, she was always one of the top students in the class, but her grades have fallen recently.MRS . WU : Exactly. She's changed a lot. Every day, after school, she goes straight to her bedroom and stays there for several hours. When I ask her what she is doing, she tells me that she is busy with her schoolwork and she needs to look for information on the Internet. But it's not true. A few days ago I discovered that she was surfing the Internet and visiting lots of different websites . She spends most of her time chatting with strangers on ICQ. This is very worrying!MR . HAN : I agree with you. This is a concern for many parents andteachers, Mrs. Wu. We're all worried that some information on the Internet may not be suitable for children. In my opinion, some websites can be very offensive. And many young people seem to have a lot of trust in information they find on the Internet.MRS .

(Studenfs Book: p. 89)Speaker 1I don't want to live too far from my parents1 home. I'd like to be able to visit them at weekends and enjoy the quiet of the countryside. And when they grow older, I won't live too far away, but I would like to live in a big city where there are a great many things to do. I think it's easier to find a good job in a city because there are more employment opportunities. Speaker 2I've lived here with my parents all my life but we haven f t always lived in this apartment block. We've only just moved into this apartment. Until recently丿we lived in a fifteestorey high-rise building about a half a mile away. It was near a very noisy road and my mother didn't like it there. So we are pleased with our new home.Speaker 3Ifs an ideal place to live, especially for young people because it's a very lively town. I never get bored because there are a great many things to do here. There is a modern shopping centre and a new cinema which shows all the latest films. There is an attractive city centre with traditional stone buildings. There's a huge park where you can imagine you are in the countryside.Speaker 4Well, local people are very friendly and every one knows everyone else. But that is the only good thing about life here. There is nothing for young people to do and there are no buses back from town at night. There are no shops here and the post office has closed down. There are no employment opportunities here either. Pers on ally, I'd much rather live in a city.Speaker 5I live on a farm in the countryside. I don't like living in the city because it's noisy and dirty and the people there aren't friendly. I live in a very small apartment and I have to share a room with my brother. Our apartment is in a suburb and the architecture is not very attractive. My dream is to belong to a small community.Module 5Vocabulary and Listening (Student's Book: p・ 41)1.Water exists as a solid, a liquid and a gas.2.When you heat a metal, it expands.3.Steel is a mixture of iron and other substances.4.Two-thirds of the earth's surface is water.5.The distance of the sun from the earth is 150 500 500 kilometres.6.The earth is 4.6 billion years old.7.The earth is forty・nine times larger than the moon.Listening and Writing (Studenfs Book: p. 46)OK, boys and girls, we're going to do an experiment.

英语高一外研版必修一单词听力
英语高一外研版必修一单词听力As a high school student, one of the challenges I have encountered is the requirement to listen to and understand English words in the textbook. This can be particularly difficult for non-native English speakers, as the pronunciation and intonation of English words can be quite different from those of my native language. In addition, the speed at which native speakers talk can make it challenging to catch every word and understand the overall message. This can be frustrating and can lead to feelings of inadequacy or frustration.One way to address this issue is to practice listening to English words on a regular basis. This could involve listening to English-language music, watching English-language movies or TV shows, or even finding a language exchange partner with whom to practice speaking and listening. By exposing myself to English words and phrases in a variety of contexts, I can become more familiar with the sounds and rhythms of the language, making it easier tounderstand and recognize words when I encounter them in the textbook.In addition to regular practice, it can also be helpful to use tools and resources specifically designed to improve listening skills. For example, there are many websites and apps that offer listening exercises and activities, as well as audio recordings of native English speakers. By incorporating these resources into my study routine, I can develop a better ear for English words and improve myability to understand them when I hear them spoken.Another important aspect of improving my listening skills is to actively engage with the material. This means not just passively listening to English words, but actively trying to understand and interpret what is being said. This could involve taking notes while listening, pausing and replaying sections that I didn't catch the first time, or even trying to summarize the main points of a conversation or lecture after listening to it. By actively engaging with the material, I can improve my ability to comprehend and retain English words and phrases.Furthermore, seeking help from teachers, classmates, or tutors can also be beneficial in improving my listening skills. These individuals can provide feedback, guidance, and support as I work to improve my ability to understand English words. They may also be able to recommend specific strategies or resources that have been helpful for them in developing their own listening skills.Lastly, it's important to be patient and persistent in my efforts to improve my listening skills. Learning a new language, especially one as complex as English, takes time and dedication. There will be times when I feel frustrated or discouraged, but by staying committed to my goal and continuing to practice and seek help, I can makesignificant progress in my ability to understand English words when I hear them.。

And there's so much construction going on. Lingling: I know, we're growing very fast. For example, I don't think we have as many freeways as Sydney does, but we soon will!Richard: I believe you! I think there are fewer tourists in Beijing—at least for now. And I get thefeeling that Beijing's less dangerous.Lingling: Yes, there's probably a lot less crime here.Richard: What about the climate? I think Sydney has less rain.Lingling: Yes, we can get a lot of rain in July and August.Richard: I've noticed! It's pouring at the moment!Lingling: The good thing about the rain, of course, is that it washes the pollution away. Richard: I've noticed that too. We don't have as much pollution as you do.Lingling: That's because you have less industry. The air can get quite polluted here...Ok, so thatcovers a lot of the differences. But are there any similarities?Richard: Oh yes...for example, I notice the wealth and the energy.Lingling: Sorry, I didn't get that.Richard: The wealth and energy. I think there are as many rich people here as in Sydney... and Ithink your city is just as lively as mine.Lingling: That's good to hear. So shall we go out this evening and find some of the action?Module 2 Listening (workbook, Page 76)Speaker 1My name is John and I'm an engineer. I'm 48 years old and I'm from Australia. I'm a volunteer worker for a development organisation in Albania. It's the poorest country in Europe. I'm working on a water project here.I'm helping people in the mountain villages in the north of the country. Most people here are farmers and they are very poor.One of the biggest problems in my villages is water. None of the houses has running water and people have to travel a long way to get water. I'm helping the local people build a water system which will bring clean water to the village. I really like this work. It's a fantastic project because it will change people's lives.Speaker 2My name's Sarah and I'm from the UK. I'm 25 years old and I am a nurse. I'm working for eighteen months at a medical centre in a small town in Sierra Leone in Africa. There's a serious AIDS problem here and there aren't enough doctors and nurses. I am teaching local women to look after the people who are ill.I also visit schools in the area and teach children about AIDS. I find the work very hard because so many poor people are ill. I have to work long hours. I am pleased to do this work but sometimes I feel very unhappy because of the poverty. These people don't have enough money to pay for the medicine they need.Speaker 3My name's Katie and I'm from Canada. I'm 23 years old and I've just finished university. This year I'm working as a volunteer on an education project in Calcutta, in India. Thousands of children here do not go to school because their parents can't pay for it. My organisation is building schools in the poor areas of the city. I am working as a teacher at one of these new primary schools. I find the work difficult because of the terrible poverty. Many of the children don't wear shoes and they are always hungry. But they are very happy to learn to read and write and they work very hard. I'm pleased to be able to help people who are not as lucky as I am.Module 3Reporter: I'm standing in the centre of Plymouth, the capital of Montserrat, where just one weekago, a volcanic eruption took place. With me is Frank Savage, the governor of the island. Mr Savage, thank you for talking to us.Savage: You're welcome.Reporter: What exactly happened last week?Savage: Well, the volcano erupted, and ash and lava poured down the mountain towards the sea. Unfortunately, there are several villages in its path.Reporter: That's terrible. Was anybody hurt?Savage: No. Luckily, we had plenty of warning and I told people who lived in the path of theashand lava to leave the island. We managed to get half the population to another island before the eruption took place.Reporter: Why are you still here?Savage: Well, I'm still working because there's a lot to do.Reporter: How many people live on the island?Savage: Eleven thousand people live here and about six thousand people have left.Reporter: Which areas are the most dangerous?Savage: Well, the most dangerous places are between the volcano and the sea. There are a lot ofvillages there. And it was very dangerous. Sadly, hundreds of houses caught fire when the lava reached them.Reporter: Oh, I'm very sorry to hear that.Savage: Thankfully, no one was killed.Reporter: Are the houses still on fire?Savage: No. Fortunately, we put all the fires out quite quickly.Reporter: That's very good news. Well, it's a beautiful sunny day here in Plymouth. Does this mean that the danger is over?Savage: No! The volcano could erupt again! People must understand that it is still verydangerous and they can't go back to their houses.Reporter: OK—so that's the message from the governor —don't go back to your houses. Whenwill people be able to return home?Savage: We don't know at the moment. Hopefully, it won't be too long.Reporter: Thank you for your time, Mr Savage.Savage: Thank you.Module 3 Listening (workbook, Page 83)Speaker 1EyewitnessI was driving home from town with some friends when we saw the tornado moving towards a village. It was an amazing sight. It turned all the cars in one street over. Luckily, it didn't go through the middle of the village because it destroyed everything in its path. After it had disappeared, we immediately went to help people. Thankfully, the rescue workers arrived very quickly.Speaker 2Radio news presenterAt 10 pm last night, a tornado hit the village of Amity in Texas. Three people were killed and at least 30 people were injured. The police are worried about a 65-year old man who has disappeared. They would like him to contact this number: 0762 874 531.The tornado has caused a lot of material damage and it has destroyed 17 houses. At least 100 people are now homeless. Rescue workers arrived in the village within minutes and they are still looking for victims.Speaker 3Rescue workerWe were the first team to arrive in Amity. We got there about half an hour after the tornado had hit the village and it was an unbelievable sight. The biggest problem we had was getting into the village. Unfortunately, the road was blocked with cars and damaged buildings so we had to take the injured to hospital. We used a helicopter to take the injured to hospital. Now the main problem we have is the people who have lost their homes. Fortunately, everyone is helping the homeless.Speaker 4ScientistTornadoes are extremely violent winds and they are quite frequent in the southern states of the US, especially at this time of year. Statistics show that there are more tornadoes in June than in other months. This particular tornado was extremely violent, about 250 kilometres an hour. Fortunately, it only lasted about five minutes. We would like to take this opportunity to warn people that if they are out of doors when a tornado approaches it is important to lie down or go under a bridge. And never stay in your car.Module 4(int=interviewer)Int: David, what do you see as the main problems with the environment?D.U: Well, in a nutshell, the most urgent problem of all is the climate. The world's climate seemsto be getting warmer.Int: We've seen a lot of evidence of that, haven't we? Hotter summers, warmer winters, that kindof thing.D.U: Yes, we have. Also, scientists have found that the ice at the Poles is beginning to melt. Int: We've heard that too. Is that really happening?D.U: Yes, I'm afraid it is. And at sometime in the future, the ice may melt completely. Then it'sPossible that the sea could rise and coastal cities like New York and Shanghai coulddisappear under water.Int: It sounds very frightening.D.U: I couldn't agree with you more. It's scary!Int: Can you explain why the climate's getting warmer?D.U: Well, I'll do my best! It's pollution that's the problem. Gases from cars enter the atmosphereand stop the sun's heat from leaving the atmosphere. And factories give out chemicals that do the same thing. So as a result, the climate is getting warmer.Int: From what I understand, carbon dioxide from cars is a major problem.D.U: You're absolutely right. Carbon dioxide is the gas that does most damage to the atmosphere. But we have a problem with trees too. You see, trees give out oxygen and take in carbon dioxide. So they're very useful because they use up the carbon dioxide.Int: I know what you're going to say. We're cutting down all the trees.D.U: Yes, we cut them down because we need the land and because we use the wood for paper and furniture. That leaves more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.Int: It's a terrible situation.D.U: Yes, and another problem is all the garbage that we produce. We burn a lot of garbage, andonce again, the gases pollute the atmosphere. The situation couldn't be worse, really. Int: We should recycle garbage, not burn it.D.U: Of course we should.Int: It's strange, we know all this, and yet we do nothing but talk about it. I can't help but feelvery concerned.D.U: Yes, well, it is worrying. But governments are beginning to do something about it. I don't think it's too late.Module 4 Listening (workbook, Page 88)A: Have you heard? The British government is planning to tax plastic bags.B: Yes, it was on the news. They want to reduce the amount of rubbish. I can't help but feel that it'sa good idea because they can't be recycled.A: They've already done it in Ireland. If you go to a supermarket there you have to pay for eachplastic bag.B: So most people use the same bags over again, do they?A: Yes. And the supermarket sells thick plastic bags which last longer.B: And there's a lot less rubbish in the streets, is there?A: Yes. But it's not just in Europe that plastic bags are damaging the environment. In many developing countries it's even worse. They're causing a serious pollution problem. In South Africa, for example, they call plastic bags the national flower because the wind blows them everywhere. Now the government has banned them and you can go to prison for 10 years if you use them.B: In Bangladesh too. They say that plastic bags were largely responsible for the terrible floods in 1988 and 1998. They blocked the drains and rainwater couldn't flow away.A: It's scary. They don't look dangerous but there are so many that they can kill. In India, cows eat them in the street and they die.B: In some parts of India they are banned. From what I understand, you can go to prison for 7 years if you use them.A: I can't help but feel that sending people to prison is very hard.B: That's because the situation is so serious. And people are not reasonable. They won't change their habits.A: Yes. And it isn't difficult to re-use the same bags over again.B: Or take a shopping basket or use paper bags.A: Some supermarkets in Britain are giving people natural bags. They're made from plants and will break down easily into carbon and water.B: In many places they say that people who produce plastic bags will lose their jobs.A: That's true. But there will be new jobs in the recycling industry, and making natural bags. That will create jobs too.B: Yes. I think that these new laws are excellent and they can't but help the environment. A: You're absolutely right. But there is still a lot to be done. We will have to recycle more of our rubbish. If we don't we'll be swimming in garbage in a few years' time!Module 5China has given the world many important inventions. To give an example, it is the country in which silk was first invented. Silk was made there as long ago as 3200 BC. Chinese farmers grew mulberry leaves because they knew that a certain kind of caterpillar ate them. The Chinese did not tell other countries how silk was made and other countries how silk was made and other countries paid a lot for this soft, strong material.Su Song was an eleventh century monk about whom very little is know. However, we do know that in 1092 AD he invented the first real clock. For the first time ever, it became possible to tell the time. In the 1950s a copy was built and this copy can be seen today in Beijing.They say that a man called Cai Lun made paper from the bark of a tree in about 105 AD. If so, he is a man of whom China can be proud. Paper was a very important invention because it was cheap and people could afford to buy it. Before that time, writers had used expensive materials such as silk. The invention was immediately successful. However, paper did not spread to other countries for another 500 years.Printing was invented in China as early as 868 AD. The book in which printing first appeared was called The Diamond Sutra. With printing, it became possible t produce many copies at the same time. In 1041 AD, a chemist called Bi Sheng invented a type of print that could move. It was not until 1454 that the first book was printed in Europe.The first time that we hear of a real toothbrush is in a Chinese book of 1498 AD. This toothebrush could clean teeth quickly and well. The toothbrush only reached Europe in the seventeenth century, when it quickly became very popular.Module 5 Listening (workbook, Page 94)Int: Most people know that the Chinese invented paper and silk but we learn from your book that many other everyday objects were invented in China—the wheelbarrow, for instance. Hist: Yes. Not many people know that the wheelbarrow comes from China.Int: Do we know who invented it?Hist: It is thought that it was a man called Zhuge Liang who invented it. He was a Chinese armygeneral who lived from 181 AD to 234 AD. The soldiers used the invention to carry heavy things around the army camp. It was also used to carry injured soldiers.Int: Was it like a modern day wheelbarrow?Hist: No. Today they have only one wheel and they are light. The early ones had two wheels and were extremely heavy. Two people were needed to push it.Int: Another invention in your book is the umbrella.Hist: That's right. This is thought to have come from China too.Int: Who invented it?Hist: We don't know. But we believe that umbrellas are very ancient. They first existed in China 2000 years ago. We also know that they were made of silk and mulberry bark because we have found ancient pictures of umbrellas. These very early umbrellas were parasols which were used to protect against the sun. Umbrellas to protect against rain came later.Int: And of course you talk about the invention of porcelain. Can you tell us more about that? Hist: That goes back a long time. The Chinese were very skilled at making pottery. We know that from the fantastic sculptures of soldiers and horses dating back to the Qin Dynasty in 221 BC that were discovered in Shaanxi Province. They later developed the same techniques to make porcelain. The world's oldest porcelain producing factory was discovered a few years ago at Xiaoxiantan in Zhejiang Province. It was used during the Eastern Han Dynasty between 25 AD and 220 AD. The reason why porcelain is also called china in English is that for centuries all porcelain came from China. The technique didn't spread to other countries until the 16th century. Int: And the compass. Who invented that?Hist: That's a mystery too. But they say that the world's first compass was made in China during the Qin Dynasty in the second century BC. The first person to have used a compass on a boat was Zheng He. He was a sailor from Yunnan Province who made 7 ocean voyages in the 15th century.Module 61M: What are you looking for?W: A map of China.M: I've got a book here that has lots of maps of China. It's called Maps of the World. Which placeare you looking for?W: I'm trying to find the Three Gorges Dam.M: Is it a big dam?W: Big—it's absolutely enormous!2M: I saw a film on TV about a dam last night.W: Really? Which one? The Three Gorges Dam?M: No. The film I saw wasn't about the Three Gorges Dam.W: Wasn't it?M: No. It was another dam. It was in Egypt.W: Was it an interesting film?M: Interesting? It was absolutely fascinating!3W: We visited the Three Gorges Dam in December.M: Really? How did you get there?W: We took a boat that went up the Yangtze River.M: Was it a nice trip?W: Nice? It was absolutely wonderful!4W: What are you doing?M: I'm writing an email to some people I met on the boat.W: Where are they from?M: Vietnam. They were on a visit organised by the government.W: How many of them were there?M: Well, I spoke to a man who said there were 25 in the group.Module 6 Listening (workbook, Page 101)A: Did you see the programme about China on TV last night?B: No. Was it interesting?A: It was absolutely fascinating. It's an amazing country.B: What was it about?A: It showed some of the big construction projects there. I mean really enormous.B: Like the Three Gorges Dam?A: Yes. They interviewed some people who lived in a village which is now submerged.B: How many people moved their homes?A: Over 1.2 million. I was absolutely astonished. It's hard to believe. Everything in China is bigger than anywhere else. They've started another huge water project there. It's absolutely enormous and it's going to cost more than the Dam.B: What's that?A: They're building three canals to take water from the Yangtze up to the north of the country. Mao Zedong suggested it 50 years ago but it's only now they have taken the decision. Each canal will be over 1000 km long. They will flow into the Hai, Huai and Yellow Rivers.B: Why are they doing that?A: A third of the population lives in northern China and there isn't enough water for people there. It's become c real problem for agriculture and industry. Even in Bejing there is a water problem. And there's too much water in the south. There are serious floods in parts of southern China. They hope to solve that problem too.B: Wow! How much is it going to cost?A: They're not sure but probably over $24 billion.B: It must be very complicated. How are they going to do it?A: They've already started. They're using the Grand Canal for one river. For another one they're building a tunnel under the mountains near Tibet. That's the most difficult part. And they're building another tunnel under the Yellow River. That's not easy either.B: Will many people move their homes?A: Yes. Hundreds of thousands. They don't know the exact number.B: How long is it going to take?A: Up to 50 years.B: It's certainly going to change people's lives. Hopefully, it will improve them.Great Britain is an island that lies off the northwest coast of Europe. The nearest country is France, which is twenty miles away, and from which Great Britain is separated by the English Channel. The island is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean to the west, and the North Sea to the east. It is composed of England, Wales and Scotland. Scotland is in the north, while Wales is in the west. Ireland, which is also an island, lies off the west coast of Great Britain. It consists of Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic. Great Britain, together with Northern Ireland, constitutes the United Kingdom. The largest of these is England. The capital city, London, is situated in southeast England.Mary: Good morning, Charlie!Charlie: Good morning, Mary! How's your holiday?Mary: It's really great! I travelled Europe with my family.Charlie: Then you must have been to Paris. You are so crazy about the Eiffel Tower.Mary: Sure. And I've also been to the Acropolis Hill in Athens, the Uffizi Palace in Florence, and the Sagrada Familia in Bacelona. Also, I went to London to see Big Ben. Charlie: That's really a nice holiday.The Sinking of the TitanicWhen the Titanic was built, she was the largest ship in the world. It had taken fifty thousand men, two years to build her. She was two hundred and sixty-nine meters long, and as high as an eleven-storey building. She was enormous. In fact, the word "Titanic" is often used to describe something which is very powerful, strong, important, or large. Built because of increased tourist travel between North America and Europe, mainly rich Americans who expected both speed and luxury, the Titanic was like a floating palace—everything about her was beautiful and comfortable. She was also impossible to sink, or that's what everyone thought. The Titanic left Southampton on the southeast coast of England for New York on the 10th of April, 1912. She stopped first in France, and then in Ireland, before setting off across the Atlantic Ocean. In total, there were 1632 passengers on board. Nine hundred and seven crew members looked after them. Four days, after leaving Southampton, the Titanic captain received not one, but four iceberg warnings. Icebergs are very dangerous for ships: only ten percent of an iceberg can be seen above the water. But the weather was clear, and the captain decided to continue without reducing the ship's speed. It is possible that he was trying to break a record for crossing the Atlantic. At 11:40 pm, the ship hit an iceberg, which cut a hole about 100 metres long under water. The passengers were not told, but the Titanic could not survive this terrible damage. It was dark and freezing cold. The ship was filling with water. There was no time to waste. Women and children were toldto climb into the ship's lifeboats, but there were not enough lifeboats for all the passengers. In addition, some of them were lowered to the sea, half empty. Finally, at 2:20 am, the Titanic sank to the bottom of the sea. Nine hundred and sixteen passengers and 773 crew died in the icy water. It was the biggest disaster at sea the world has known. Many books have been written about the Titanic disaster.。

So have I.ROB : Really? Which language are you studying?DIANE : Spanish. Which language are YOU studying?ROB : Chinese.DIANE : Is that right? Cool! How was it?ROB : It was good. The teacher's name is Mr. Davies.DIANE : Mr. Davies?ROB : Yes,(1) he isn't Chinese, obviously, but he's fluent inChinese . And there's an assistant teacher called Miss Wang. She IS Chinese. We're going to see her once a week.DIANE : And what do you think?ROB : Well, learning Chinese isn't going to be easy —but (2)the first lesson was very enjoyable —I liked it a lot .(3) Mr. Daviesgave us a lot of encouragement —he made us feel really good about being there. (5)The most important thing at thebeginning is pronunciation, getting the sounds right —and he was very good at correction —he said it didn't matter if wemade mistakes.(4) I think we all made a lot of progress —in just an hour!DIANE : That's great.ROB : What about Spanish? Did you start yet?DIANE : Yes, we did. The teacher is nice, but I already speak someSpanish and the rest of the class are really beginners. (7)I misunderstood the teacher —I thought she said the class was for people who already speak Spanish. I'm not sure if I'mgoing to make much progress.ROB : Oh, I'm sure things will improve.DIANE : Maybe —actually, (8)I was a bit disappointed —she explained everything in English.ROB : Oh, that's too bad.Listening and Speaking (Student's Book p. 70)BOY : Have you joined any school clubs yet?GIRL : Yes, I have. I'm really interested in photography, so I joined the Camera Club.BOY : That's interesting. Where do you have your meetings?GIRL : In Room 303.BOY : Right. How often do you meet?

I guess you need a bigplace.BOY : Yes, we practise in the school gym.GIRL : The school gym? That should be big enough, I guess!Module 2Vocabulary and Listening (Student's Book p. 11)I don't agree that all good teachers talk a lot. Some good teachers talk a lot and some don't. I do think that teachers need to be strict , but they don't need to be very strict . I do believe that discipline is important. Yes, I like teachers who are amusing . I think you enjoy the lesson more and so you learn more. And I agree with the statement that the most popular teachers are very kind. Everyone likes kind people. Of course, good teachers always return homework quickly. I think that's very important. And the next statement is obviously true, a teacher must check that everyone in the class understands. What about the next statement? No, I don't agree with that at all. There are times when a teacher needs to talk without interruption. And the last statement —It doesn't matter if a teacher is not organised . That's really stupid. A teacher must be organised . How can a student learn if the teacher isn't organised ?Listening and Vocabulary (Student's Book p. 15)MR . STANTON : Okay, kids, as you know, the exams are coming up soon,so we need to start work on revision . This afternoon I'mgoing to give you a choice.

Now, at presentyou have a free period on Tuesday afternoons. Well,that's been changed and you've got French instead. Haveyou got that?CHORUS : Yes.MR . STANTON : Excellent.

I've just had a difficult class, though.JANE : Oh, what was the problem?SIMON : I have a couple of lazy students in my class. Take a look atthis homework. It's terrible.JANE : You're right. It's very bad.SIMON : I expect students to listen carefully and work hard, but thesetwo kids just don't want to do any work at all. They keepcoming to class late and they don't stop talking. They're aproblem because they disturb all the other students.JANE : Do they behave badly in other lessons or is it only in Englishclasses?SIMON : Their maths teacher says they don't work in her lessonseither. Only the PE teacher is pleased with them. He saysthey love doing sport and they are very good at it!JANE : Why don't you speak to the headmistress about them? SIMON : I'd rather deal with the problem myself.JANE : Well, it's up to you. But they're only in their first year ofSenior High. I suggest you speak to their parents. Maybethey need extra help.SIMON : Perhaps you're right. I'll consider talking to their parents.Listening and Speaking II (Student's Book p. 77)ELLA : What languages do they teach at your school, Bill?BILL : English, Japanese and Russian. Everyone studies English and we can do Japanese or Russian as well. That's if it fits into our timetable .ELLA : And do you learn another language?BILL : Yes. I do Japanese. But I don't enjoy studying it because I find the grammar very difficult. My parents wanted me to learn it. What about you Ella? What languages are you doing?ELLA : I'm studying Chinese.BILL : You're lucky! I'd rather learn Chinese than Japanese. Morepeople speak Chinese around the world and I love listening to Chinese songs and music.ELLA : So do I. And I like doing Chinese. But I also like to learnRussian. I want to go to Russia one day.BILL : It's OK. But Chinese is more useful.ELLA : Yes, I agree.BILL : Anyway, I think all Europeans should learn Chinese at school today. It's going to be very important in the future. Especially for business. I'd rather learn something useful.ELLA : You're right. More people speak Chinese than any otherlanguage.Module 3An Interview (Student's Book: p. 35)INTERVIEWER : Tell me , Mary, where were you born?MARY LENNON : I was born in London.INTERVIEWER : Really? And when did you go to America?MARY LENNON : In 1934, when I was 19 years old, I went to NewYork.INTERVIEWER : Is that right? Did you travel by plane?MARY LENNON : By plane? No, of course not! We travelled by ship! INTERVIEWER : Goodness! How long did that take?MARY LENNON : About seven days.INTERVIEWER : Did you enjoy it?MARY LENNON : No! I hated it!INTERVIEWER : Why?

I loved travelling by train.INTERVIEWER : How long did the journey take?MARY LENNON : Well, in those days, you could travel from New Yorkto Los Angeles in about a week.INTERVIEWER : Really?MARY LENNON : Yes. We stopped in Chicago for a few days.INTERVIEWER : Oh, I see.MARY LENNON : I think it was two weeks before I arrived in LosAngeles.INTERVIEWER : And what happened when you arrived in LosAngeles?MARY LENNON : Absolutely nothing. I did nothing for weeks!INTERVIEWER : What did you think of Los Angeles?MARY LENNON : It was too hot!A Long-distance Flight (Student's Book: p. 83)MAN : I'll never forget the first time I took a long-distance flight. WOMAN : Why, was it good?MAN : Not at all! It was just the opposite. I was flying from Londonto Singapore, and it was a disaster from start to finish.WOMAN : Why, what happened?MAN : First of all, I took a train from my home to London airport.But the train broke down.WOMAN : Goodness!

(Student's Book: p. 89)Speaker 1I don't want to live too far from my parents' home. I'd like to be able to visit them at weekends and enjoy the quiet of the countryside. And when they grow older, I won't live too far away, but I would like to livein a big city where there are a great many things to do. I think it's easier to find a good job in a city because there are more employment opportunities.Speaker 2I've lived here with my parents all my life but we haven't always lived in this apartment block. We've only just moved into this apartment. Until recently, we lived in a fifteen-storey high-rise building about a half a mile away. It was near a very noisy road and my mother didn't like it there. So we are pleased with our new home. Speaker 3It's an ideal place to live, especially for young people because it's a very lively town. I never get bored because there are a great many things to do here. There is a modern shopping centre and a new cinema which shows all the latest films. There is an attractive city centre with traditional stone buildings. There's a huge park where you can imagine you are in the countryside.Speaker 4Well, local people are very friendly and everyone knows everyone else. But that is the only good thing about life here. There is nothing for young people to do and there are no buses back from town at night. There are no shops here and the post office has closed down. There are no employment opportunities here either. Personally, I'd much rather live in a city.Speaker 5I live on a farm in the countryside. I don't like living in the city because it's noisy and dirty and the people there aren't friendly. I live in a very small apartment and I have to share a room with my brother. Our apartment is in a suburb and the architecture is not very attractive. My dream is to belong to a small community.Module 5Vocabulary and Listening (Student's Book: p. 41)1. Water exists as a solid, a liquid and a gas.2. When you heat a metal, it expands.3.

Come aCHEN : bit closer. The closer you are, the more you'll see! That'sright! Now, what's the aim of this experiment, Zhou Kai?ZHOU KAI : We want to find out if there's a change in weight whenmagnesium burns in air.MR .CHEN : That's right. So what do we need first?ZHOU KAI : Um ... We need some magnesium . How much do we need? What about this piece? Is this piece OK?MR . CHEN : No, we need rather more than that —about two and a half grams. We need a piece which is much bigger than that.ZHOU KAI : OK ... And we need a Bunsen burner ... a balance ... and acrucible to put the metal in ... Here they all are ... Where do we go from here?MR . CHEN : Well, first, put the magnesium in the crucible . Then put the crucible on the balance and weigh it.ZHOUKAI : OK...MR . CHEN : How much does it weigh? Take a look, everyone. Is it any heavier?ZHOU KAI : Um ... It weighs two and a half grams. Do you want me to write that down?MR .CHEN : Yes, write it down. What next?ZHOU KAI : Yes ... Um, next, we're going to heat the magnesium . So Ilight the Bunsen burner. After that, I hold the crucible overit ... Oh look, it's burning with a white light! It's gettingbrighter and brighter!MR . CHEN : It's pretty , isn't it? Keep the noise down, boys and girls,please.ZHOU KAI : Um ... lastly, we need to weigh the magnesium again ... It weighs four grams now.MR .CHEN : So what does that tell you?ZHOUKAI : It weighs a little more than before.MR .CHEN : How much more?ZHOUKAI : 1.5 grams more.MR .CHEN : And what does that mean?ZHOU KAI : It means that there is a change in weight when magnesium burns in air.MR . CHEN : You've got it! Well done! So now, let's do the sameexperiment with copper . Come along, Li Kang, it's your turn now. What do you think will happen if you heat copper ? LI KANG : I think it'll be a lot heavier than magnesium . Shall I begin?MR .CHEN : Yes, go ahead!Listening and Speaking (Student's Book: p. 95)The aim of this experiment is to write a secret message with invisible ink.For the experiment, you need the following things: a lemon, a small container, a pen, some white writing paper, a candle and some matches.First, squeeze the lemon and pour the juice into a container. A glass or a cup will be fine.Next, take your pen and dip it into the lemon juice then write your message in large letters on a clean sheet of white writing paper.After that, blow on the paper to dry the lemon juice. Your secret message is ready and you can exchange messages with another student.Next, light a candle with the matches. Finally, hold the paper near the candle flame .The message will gradually appear on the paper. The words are a light brown colour.The message appears on the paper when you heat it because the lemon juice reacts with oxygen in the air. This reaction produces a brown coloured oxide which you can see.Module 6Listening and Vocabulary (Student's Book: p. 54)INTERVIEWER : Hello and welcome to Education Today.

Please come. What can I do for you? MRS .W U : I'm worried about my daughter, Mr. Han.MR .HAN : Yes, I'm a little worried about Du Juan, too.MRS . WU : Before she became interested in the Internet she was a very hard-working student. Her exam results were always very good. Now she spends a lot of time on her computer. MR . HAN : Yes, she was always one of the top students in the class, but her grades have fallen recently.MRS . WU : Exactly. She's changed a lot. Every day, after school, she goes straight to her bedroom and stays there for several hours.When I ask her what she is doing, she tells me that she is busy with her schoolwork and she needs to look for information on the Internet. But it's not true. A few days ago I discovered that she was surfing the Internet and visiting lots of different websites . She spends most of her time chatting with strangers on ICQ. This is very worrying!MR . HAN : I agree with you. This is a concern for many parents andteachers, Mrs. Wu. We're all worried that some information on the Internet may not be suitable for children. In my opinion, some websites can be very offensive. And many young people seem to have a lot of trust in information they find on the Internet.MRS . WU : I am also afraid that my daughter may make friends with strange people through ICQ and chat groups. I mean, there are some dangerous people out there.MR . HAN : People say the Internet is one of the greatest inventions . It improves communication among people and helps thedevelopment of science and technology . It is also easy and efficient to get new information from the Internet. However, it causes a lot of problems, too. And children need to know about the dangers. If you want my personal opinion, Mrs. Wu, I think you should talk to your daughter.MRS . WU : I want to talk to my daughter but I don't know very much about computers. And I know she won't listen to me. MR .HAN : Would you like me to talk to her?MRS . WU : I would be very grateful, Mr. Han. I'm sure she'll listen to you. MR . HAN : Well, I'll have a chat with her. I can at least help her to be more aware of online safety. MRS . WU : Thank you very much, Mr. Han.。
