sbs朗文国际英语教程第一册-听力教程全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1Hello everyone! My name is Emma and I'm 8 years old. I love learning English and I'm going to tell you all about my day at school yesterday.I woke up early because I was really excited to go to my English class. We've been learning lots of fun new words and phrases. After getting dressed, I had breakfast with my mom and dad. My little brother Billy was being silly as usual, making funny faces and noises to try and make me laugh when I was eating my cereal."Billy, stop that!" I said, trying not to giggle. "I'm going to be late for the bus."Finally it was time to leave. I grabbed my backpack and lunchbox and ran out the door, waving goodbye to my parents. The school bus was already waiting outside."Good morning Miss Bradley!" I said to my bus driver as I climbed the steps."Good morning Emma," she replied with a smile. "Did you have a good weekend?""Yes, it was lots of fun!" I told her. "My family went to the park and had a picnic."I found a seat near the back next to my best friend Lucy. We talked and giggled the whole way to school about the games we had played at recess on Friday.When we arrived, Lucy and I got off the bus and went straight to the playground to meet our other friends before the bell rang. We played a quick game of tag, taking turns being the one who was "it" and chasing each other around. Soon the bell rang, signaling it was time to line up for class."Okay class, time to come inside!" said Mrs. Henderson, our English teacher. "Line up Single-file, quickly now."We all hurried to get in a straight line, trying not to push or shove. Mrs. Henderson led us into the building and back to our classroom. Once we were all seated at our desks, she began the lesson."Good morning boys and girls," she said in a cheerful voice. "Who can remember the new vocabulary words we learned on Friday?"I raised my hand eagerly, excited to show her what I could remember. She called on me."Emma, can you give me a sentence using one of our new words?" she asked."Yes Mrs. Henderson!" I replied. "My dog is very energetic and loves to run around and play fetch.""Excellent job, Emma!" she praised me. "The word energetic means having a lot of energy. You used it perfectly in that sentence."The rest of the morning, we practiced using the new words in different ways - making up stories, drawing pictures to illustrate their meanings, and playing games like Word Bingo. It was so much fun!Finally, it was time for lunch and recess. My stomach was growling because I was getting hungry. I took my lunchbox out of my backpack and opened it up."Mmm, looks delicious!" exclaimed Lucy, peeking over. "Your mom makes the best sandwiches."I unwrapped my peanut butter and jelly sandwich and began to eat. Lucy and I talked and laughed with our other friends while we ate our lunches. The cafeteria was louder than usual becauseeveryone was so excited - it was Pizza Day! Pizza is my favorite food, but I don't get to have it very often.As soon as we were done eating, we raced out to the playground. Lucy and I decided to swing on the swing set and see who could go the highest. We pumped our legs back and forth, higher and higher into the sky until we were parallel with the crossbar."Wheeee! This is so fun!" I yelled to Lucy from my swing.Too soon, the recess bell rang again to signal it was time to line up and head back inside. We reluctantly jumped off the swings and joined our classmates getting into a line to go back to class.The rest of the afternoon flew by quickly. In math, we learned how to add and subtract bigger numbers. Science was about the life cycle of butterflies. We even got to color pictures showing the different stages. I made my caterpillar purple and green.Before I knew it, the final bell rang and it was time to go home. I gathered up my books and papers and stuffed them into my backpack. Mrs. Henderson reminded us not to forget anyhomework over the weekend as we walked out to meet our buses.I found my bus easily - it was the third one in line in the circular driveway. I waved to Lucy, who was getting on a different bus that goes the other way to her neighborhood. As I climbed the big stairs up into the bus, I saw my brother Billy way at the back with some of his friends."Hey Squirt!" he called out teasingly. Billy is only one year younger than me but he loves calling me that silly nickname.I just rolled my eyes and took a seat near the front, not wanting to get into a fight with him on the bus. Miss Bradley did attendance and then we were off, driving through our neighborhood to drop kids off at their houses one by one.About halfway through the route, we came to my stop. I scrambled off the bus, clutching my backpack and lunchbox."Thanks Miss Bradley! Have a great evening!" I called over my shoulder as I hurried up my driveway.I could see my mom waiting for me on the front porch. I ran up and gave her a big hug."Hi sweetie! Did you have a nice day at school?" she asked, smiling down at me."Yes, it was so much fun!" I told her excitedly. "We learned lots of new words in English class, and it was Pizza Day at lunch!"I chattered away about my whole day as we went inside the house. I couldn't wait to tell her and Dad all about it over dinner. Every day at school is a new adventure when you're learning English!篇2My English Class is Fun!Hi there! My name is Emma and I'm 8 years old. I go to Oakwood Elementary School and I just started learning English this year. It's been really fun so far!We use these cool books called the SBS Longman International English course books. The books are really colorful and have lots of pictures, which I love. The pictures help me understand what we're learning about.My favorite part of the books are the fun stories we read about kids like me who go on adventures and learn English along the way. There's this group of friends - Sam, Lily, Zak and Ina - who are the main characters. They remind me of my own group of friends at school.In one story, Sam and his friends went camping and had to follow directions to set up their tent. I remember learning words like "hammer", "stake" and "mallet" from that story. Another time, Lily and her friends baked cookies and had to follow a recipe. I learned kitchen words like "whisk", "batter" and "preheat". The stories make it easy to pick up new vocabulary!Along with the stories, we also do listening exercises that go with each unit. That's where the SBS Longman Listening Practice book comes in really handy. We listen to conversations or instructions and have to answer questions or follow directions.At first, I found the listening kind of challenging because everything sounds so fast! But my teacher gives us strategies like listening for key words and predicting what might happen next. She also lets us listen multiple times, which is super helpful.What I really like about the listening exercises is that they use the same characters and situations from the stories in our main book. So the contexts are already really familiar to me. It's sort of like I'm just eavesdropping on my friends Sam, Lily, Zak and Ina as they go about their day!The listening tracks have different speakers too - kids around my age, adults like teachers or parents, even characterswith funny voices or accents. I think listening to all those different voices has really helped train my ear for English.Some of the listenings are conversations about everyday topics like shopping, hobbies, weekend plans and so on. Those have helped me learn functional language for real-life situations. But we've also listened to crazy funny stories, instructions for active games, and even video game tutorials! My favorite was the listening where the characters put on a play. It was just like listening to a movie or audio book.Apart from the main listening exercises, we sometimes get to singing songs and do chants or rhymes from the listening book. Those are always a blast, especially when we can march or clap along with the rhythm. I've found that singing the lyrics has really helped me remember new vocab and grammar patterns.The listening book even has listening scripts at the back, so we can follow along with the text as we listen. That's really useful for picking up on details or tricky words I might have missed. My teacher also uses those scripts to model things like intonation, pause and sentence stress.Overall, I've found the SBS Longman listening materials to be incredibly helpful for developing my English listening skills. The variety of contexts, speakers and accents has exposed me to somany different ways of speaking English. Plus, connecting the listenings to the fun stories we read has made everything more engaging and memorable.English class definitely doesn't feel like a boring lecture. It's been more like tagging along with Sam, Lily, Zak and Ina on a series of awesome adventures and escapades! Thanks to these great materials, I already feel much more confident understanding spoken English. I can't wait to see what other exciting travels await me in the next book!篇3My English Listening AdventuresHi there! My name is Emma and I'm 8 years old. I just started learning English this year and it's been such a fun adventure! My teacher uses these really cool listening materials called the SBS Longman International English Course Book 1 Listening Program. Let me tell you all about my experiences with it!When I first saw the listening book, I was a little nervous. Learning a new language seemed hard. But my teacher made it super easy and enjoyable right from the start. The book has these bright, colorful pictures that grabbed my attention. Andthe recordings have friendly voices that walk you through each lesson step-by-step.One of my favorite parts is the conversations. They use really simple words and sentences, so I can understand what's being said. But they still feel like natural, real-life dialogues. I've learned how to greet people, introduce myself, talk about my family and lots more! Listening to those conversations over and over has helped the new vocabulary and phrases really stick in my mind.There are also cute little stories and songs that make me smile every time. The stories are about children just like me going on fun adventures and learning English along the way. Whenever I listen, I imagine myself tagging along on their journeys! And the songs are so catchy and repetitive that I find myself humming the tunes all day long. That really helps cement what I'm learning.My teacher is always mixing up the activities too, which keeps things interesting. Sometimes we just listen and repeat phrases. Other times we act out the conversations or sing and dance along to the songs. We even play fun games testing our listening comprehension. I get so excited for English class because I never know what we'll be doing next!Having the listening materials has been incredibly helpful for improving my English skills. At first, I could barely recognize any words when the recordings played. But now after lots of practice, I can understand most of what's being said! My reading and speaking have improved a ton too. Whenever I see words we've learned, I can sound them out confidently. And I'm getting braver about using the new phrases in my own sentences.The best part is, the more I use the listening program, the more my enthusiasm for English grows. What used to seem scary and confusing has become an exciting adventure. I find myself counting down the days until my next English lesson. Sometimes I'll even practice my listening at home just for fun! Whenever my mom asks what I want to do, I'll grab my listening book and shout "English time!"My friends who aren't using the same program are all jealous of how quickly I'm learning. They think English is this big, impossible mountain to climb. But with the listening materials, I've been able to tackle it step-by-step, building my skills gradually through fun, engaging activities. It's making me love the journey of learning a new language.I know I'm just getting started, and English will keep getting trickier as I progress. But as long as I have my trusty listeningmaterials, I'm confident I can take on any challenge. The recordings, conversations, stories and songs provide the perfect guided path for my little English adventurer mind. Who knows where my listening skills will take me next?I can't wait to continue my English journey using the awesome SBS Longman Listening Program. Maybe I'll pick up a new language afterwards too! The world of languages is my oyster, just waiting to be explored. This little English adventurer is ready for the quest. Thanks to the listening materials, I've got the best walking stick and map to guide me every step of the way. The adventure continues!篇4My English Listening Adventures!Hi there! My name is Emma and I'm a 3rd grade student. I just started using this really cool English listening book called "SBS Longman International English Course Listening Book 1" and I'm super excited to tell you all about my adventures with it so far!When I first got the book, I was a little nervous because learning to listen to English can be kind of tricky sometimes. But as soon as I opened it up, I could tell it was going to be lots offun. The pictures are so colorful and engaging - there are cool drawings of kids just like me along with objects, animals, and scenes from everyday life. It really makes me feel like I'm part of the story.The first unit was all about numbers and colors. I learned how to say and recognize numbers from 1 to 20 in English, which is going to be so helpful in math class. And now I can name all the colors like red, blue, green, yellow and more. The audio recordings have kids' voices which I love because they sound just like my friends. I've been practicing counting my crayons and saying the color names out loud.Next up was a unit on basic phrases like "Hello, how are you?" and "Thank you, you're welcome." Learning these simple conversations has been awesome practice for talking to my English-speaking classmates and teachers. I feel way more confident introducing myself. My favorite part was the fun chant at the end - we get to sing along and it really helps the phrases stick in my head!One of the units I just finished focused on different family members like mom, dad, brother, sister, etc. This one was pretty easy for me since I already know my family in English. But I learned some new words like "aunt," "uncle," and "cousin." Therecordings had a kid describing her family members which was cool to listen to. At the end, I got to describe my own family just like in the audio!Oh oh, I almost forgot about the unit on animals! This was probably my favorite so far. We learned the names of pets like dogs, cats, and hamsters. But we also covered farm animals like cows, pigs and horses. And some wild ones too like elephants, lions and monkeys! The voices were SO realistic and made the coolest animal sounds. I've been going around my house doing all the animal impressions which my little brother thinks is hilarious.One thing I really like about the book is how it combines listening with speaking, reading, and even writing activities. For example, after hearing a conversation between two kids, I'll have to read a similar dialogue and fill in the blanks. Or I'll listen to a story and then have to rewrite the key details and events. It's a great way to practice my overall English skills while still focusing on listening comprehension.The last unit I want to tell you about covered school subjects like math, science, music and art. Listening to the audio about the different classes was really neat because it felt like I was getting a tour of an English-speaking school. Hearing the voicesof students and teachers talking about their favorite subjects got me excited to learn more English vocabulary for my own school subjects. I can't wait to show off what I learned by describing my weekly schedule and classes to my parents.Overall, I'm having an absolute blast with this listening book! The short, engaging recordings make it feel like a game rather than hard work. The sounds, voices, and dialogues are all super clear and easy for me to understand as a young learner. And the cute illustrations and characters make me smile every time I open the book.With each unit, I'm building my listening skills and vocabulary bit by bit. Simple words, phrases, and conversations are slowly becoming more natural and automatic. My parents have already noticed an improvement in how I can follow and respond to English directions and questions. I'm feeling way more confident when it comes to listening comprehension.I still have so many more units to discover - there are ones about places around town, transportation, clothes, food, and more! I honestly can't wait to continue my English listening journey with Book 1. Who knows, maybe I'll be an expert listener by the end! If you're just starting to learn English listening likeme, I definitely recommend checking out the SBS Longman series. Get ready for an exciting adventure!篇5Hi there! My name is Emma and I'm 8 years old. I just started learning English this year at school and I'm really excited about it! We're using this cool English course called "SBS Longman International English".In our English class, we spend a lot of time listening to the audio materials that come with the course. It's really helpful for learning pronunciation and getting used to hearing English. The listening course has all sorts of fun activities and stories.One of my favorite parts is the conversations we listen to. They have simple dialogues between kids or family members talking about everyday things like going to school, playing outside, or what they had for lunch. Listening to these little conversations makes it easier for me to understand how English actually sounds when people speak it naturally.The stories are awesome too! They tell tales about children going on adventures, learning life lessons, or just being silly. The stories always have great sound effects and different character voices which makes them really entertaining to listen to. And thebest part is, the stories are recorded at just the right level for beginners like me. I can follow along without getting lost or confused.After we listen to a conversation or story, our teacher asks us questions to see if we understood what we heard. Sometimes she'll pause the audio and we have to predict what will happen next. Other times, she'll play a section again and we have to listen closely for specific details. It's like a little exercise for our "listening muscles"!The listening course also has songs and chants for us to practice rhythm, pronunciation, and vocabulary. The songs are so catchy and fun that I sometimes catch myself singing them at home without even realizing it. My little brother thinks it's hilarious when I walk around singing words he can't understand yet.Overall, I'm super glad we use the SBS Longman listening course at school because it makes learning English feel more like a game than studying. Listening to English doesn't seem so strange or difficult anymore. In fact, it's becoming one of my favorite parts of the day! I can't wait to move on to the next listening course book.Maybe I'll be fluent in English before my parents know it. Then I can surprise them by answering everything in perfect English. That would be hilarious! Though I probably shouldn't trick them too much or they might make me do extra chores as punishment. An English genius has to pick her battles wisely, after all!篇6SBS Longman Listening Fun for Little Learners!Hi there friends! My name is Lily and I'm going to tell you all about the awesome listening course I'm using to learn English. It's called the SBS Longman International English Course Book 1 Listening Course. What a mouthful, right? Let's just call it the Listening Fun for short!The Listening Fun has been such a great way for me to practice my English listening skills. There are so many cool activities and stories that make it super engaging and not boring at all. My favorite part is probably the songs and chants. They are so catchy and fun to sing along to! The melodies really help the new words and phrases stick in my head.One of the songs is all about colors. It goes "Red and yellow, blue and green, colors bright, colors clean! Purple orange, pinkand white, name those colors, get it right!" I find myself humming and dancing along to that one all the time. My little brother even learned all the color words because the song is that catchy!There are also a bunch of great stories and conversations to listen to. They use really common situations that I can totally relate to, like going to school, playing with friends, talking about hobbies and pets, and more. Hearing how the characters interact in natural English dialogues has been incredibly helpful for my comprehension.The stories are dramatized too, which makes them more lively and interesting than just a person flatly reading out loud. The narrator uses different voices for each character and adds fun sound effects. There's one story called "The Zig Zag Zoo" that's my absolute favorite. It's about these two mischievous kids who sneak into the zoo after hours and end up having the wildest adventure with all the animals running loose! Whenever I listen to that one, I can so vividly picture the whole crazy scene in my mind.In addition to songs and stories, the Listening Fun has dedicated vocabulary lessons that introduce new words and phrases in context, rather than just as a random list. There arealso grammar focus sections that break down different concepts, like verb tenses, prepositions, articles, and more. I'll be honest, some of that grammar stuff still makes my brain hurt a bit, but having it integrated with fun listening makes it much more bearable!One of the coolest components are the listening games and activities. They really get you engaged and thinking critically about what you're hearing. There are sorting games where you put pictures in the right order based on the story, multiple choice questions to test your comprehension, and spelling exercises where you have to identify the right letters you hear. My best friend and I sometimes do the activities together and race to see who can finish fastest!Overall, the SBS Longman Listening Fun has been an amazing tool to boost my English listening abilities. The varied content and interactive nature of the course keep me motivated and having fun, instead of feeling bored out of my mind like I do with some other learning materials. Highly recommended for any kids out there looking to level up their language skills!I think I've covered all the key parts of the Listening Fun, but I could probably keep rambling for ages about how great it is. If you want to learn more or grab a copy for yourself, just ask yourEnglish teacher or parents. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got a hot date with the "Wheels on the Bus" chant video!。

Unit1HappinessPart 1Teacher: Hi, good morning. Did you hear about the lottery winner last night? The man won…what? … Two million dollars…?Student: No, three.Teacher: Three million dollars? Three million. That's a lot of money isn't it? Do you think that three million dollars would make you happy? … I'm asking you this because when you ask people what they need to be happy, many people will answer" more money!" We assume that money will make us happier. But is this true? Will winning the lottery help you achieve happiness?Today we're going to look at the idea of happiness, at the psychology of happiness--what makes some people happier than others. We'll look at three personality factors that we find in happy people. To find out about these personality factors, psychologists talked to hundreds of people. Now, first, they asked the people how happy they felt--you know, from "very happy" to "not happy at all." Then they asked some more questions, They wanted to find out about people's personalities, such as their attitudes about life, and so on. They looked at the differences between happy people and unhappy people. They found three factors that are very important for achieving happiness. So…let's look at those factor s now.The first personality factor is that happy people are…satisfied with themselves. This means that they like themselves as they are, and they’re happy with what they have. Happy people may not like everything about their lives-they may be a little bit overweight, or may not have the best job, or may not live in a big, fancy house, but they don't need to change those things to be happy. They think more about the things they are satisfied with, not the changes they want to make. This feeling of happiness comes from the inside, not from something outside.Part 2Teacher: So…happy people feel satisfied with themselves. On the other hand, unhappy people are often dissatisfied with themselves. They...uh...feel that something must change so they can be happy. They think if they lose some weight orget a better job or a nicer house they will be happy. They are always looking for something outside themselves to make them happy.But the problem is-they never find it! No matter what they get, they're still dissatisfied and unhappy.The second personality factor is that happy people are optimistic-they look at the positive side of life, not the negative. Now, we all have problems, whether we're happy or not. But when happy people have problems, they assume that things will improve. They don’t worry a lot and think about all the bad things that can happen. Instead, they have a positive attitude. However, unhappy people are the opposite. They are not optimistic and don't have a positive attitude. When they have a problem, they think about how bad everything is and assume that it'll get worse. So they make themselves even more unhappy when they think about all the bad things that might happen.Finally, the third personality factor is that happy people have good relationships with other people. They try to have close, loving relationships with friends and family. Studies show that close, loving relationships are one of the most important factors in achieving happiness. So happy people don't spend all their time building their careers or trying to make money. They also spend time building relationships with friends and family. Now, on the other hand, unhappy people don't have as many close relationships. They may have trouble making friends. Or they may spend all their time working and then find that they're very lonely and unhappy. But for whatever reason, they don't have close relationships and this makes them unhappy. So…what does this tell us? Well, if you want to be happier, don't assume that winning the lottery will help. There are other, more important factors for achieving happiness. Now, let's take a break, and when we come back we'll talk more about the factors that make a person happy…1.What did psychologists want to find out ?a.Which people are happyb.What makes people happyc.How people define happiness2.How do happy people feel about their lives?a.They like everything.b.They want to change.c.They are satisfied.3.Why are happy people optimistic?a.They have few problems.b.They don’t worry much.c.They have negative attitudes.4.What factor is most important for happiness?a.Good relationshipsb.A successful careerc.A lot of money5.Describe how psychologists learned what makes people happy.Psychologists asked hundreds of people how happy they are.Then they asked questi ons to find out about their personalities.They looked at the differences between hap py people and unhappy people.6.What three personality factors do happy people have?Happy people are satisfied with themselves.They are also optimistic about their prob lems.In addition,they have good relationships with their friends and family.。
