Unit 1 It smells delicious

3 listen and read.

Tony: Mm…What a delicious smell! Your pizza looks so nice.

Betty: Thanks! Would you like to try some?

Tony: Yes, please, it looks lovely, it smells delicious, and mm, it tastes good.

Darning: What’s th at on top?

Betty: Oh, that’s cheese. Do you want to try a piece?

Darning: Ugh! No, thanks. I’m afraid I don’t like cheese. It doesn’t smell fresh. It smells too strong and it tastes

a bit sour.

Betty: Well, my chocolate cookies are done now. Have a try!

Darning: Thanks! They taste really sweet and they feel soft in the middle.

Tony: Are you cooking lots of different things? You look very busy!

Betty: Yes, I am! There’s some pizza and some cookies, and now I’m making an apple pie and a cake. Darning: Apple pie sounds nice, I have a sweet tooth, you know. Shall I get the sugar?

Betty: Yes, please. Oh, are you sure that’s sugar? Taste it first. It might be salt!

Darning: No, it’s OK. It tastes sweet. It’s sugar.

Tony: What’s this? It tastes sweet too.

Betty: That’s strawberry jam, for the cake.

Darning: Good, everything tastes so sweet! It’s my lucky day!

Unit 2 I feel nervous when I speak Chinese.

2 Read Sally’s email and find out which is her picture.

FROM: Sally

TO: Lingling

SUBJECT: Re: Welcome to China.

Hi Lingling,

Thanks for your last message. It was great to hear from you, and I can’t wait to meet you.

1 hope you will know me from my photo when I arrive at the airport. I’m quite tall, with short fair hair, and I wear glasses. I’ll wear jeans and a T-shirt for the journey, but I’ll also carry my warm coat. I’ve got your photo — you look very pretty. So I’m sure we’ll find each other!

Thanks for telling me about your hobbies. You sound just like me! I spend a lot of time playing classical music with my friends at school, but I also like dance music — I love dancing! I enjoy sports as well, especially tennis. My brother is in the school tennis team — I’m very proud of him! He’s good at everything, but I’m not. Sometimes I get bad marks at school, and I feel sad. I should work harder.

You asked me, “How do you feel about coming to China?” Well, I often feel a bit sad at first when I leave my mum and dad for a few days, and I’m quite shy when I’m with strangers. I feel nervous when I speak Chinese, but I’ll be fine in a few days. I’m always sorry when I don’t know how to do things in the right way, so please help me when I’m with you in China! Oh, I’m afraid of flying too. But I can't tell you how excited I am about going to China!

See you next week!

Love,

Sally
