Module 1 Unit One The flight was late.

Lingling: Welcome back, everyone!

Betty: Hi Lingling! How was your holiday?

Lingling: Not bad! I went to Henan Province. But the trip back was very long. The train was full of people, and I had to stand for over six hours. Betty: Bad luck. Where's Tony?

Daming: He's staying with his family in the UK, and flying back tomorrow. The flights were late today.

Betty: Why is travel so difficult in winter?

Lingling: Well, it's the busiest season in China because of Spring Festival. Where did you go, Daming?

Daming: We flew to Hong Kong—and the flight was late! But we took the boat to Landau Island and went to Disneyland.

Lingling: How about you, Betty?

Betty: We had quite a good time in Beijing. We went sightseeing by bus and by taxi. And last weekend, we took a tour by coach to the Summer Palace and went for a long walk.

Daming: And now, better get back to work ... We've got exams at the end of the term.Betty: Yes, but there are plenty of fun things to do this term ... the school trip ...

Lingling: ... and the school leavers' party ...

Daming: ... the visit to the English-speaking theatre in Beijing ... Lingling: And our trip to Los Angeles! We'll have a great time!

Unit Two Excuse Me. You're Sitting in My Seat! The train to Beijing! Lin often dreamed about the train, and about going to the capital. Now it was in front of him, to set off soon. He looked at his brother.

"Don't forget where you come from, little brother," Jin said. "And watch your bags carefully."

Lin nodded, unable to speak. This was his first long trip by train at the start of his new life, leaving his village and his home for the last 16 years. He held Jin in his arms. With tears in his eyes, Jin pushed Lin away. "Go, brother. Write to us as soon as you get there, OK?"

Lin jumped onto the train. There were people and bags everywhere. He pushed past them towards his seat.

A young man was sitting in Lin's seat. He was wearing jeans and a very smart jacket, and was smoking a cigarette.

What should he do? Six pairs of eyes looked at Lin, while the man looked out of the window.

"Sir, you're sitting in my seat," Lin said, with a nervous smile. The other people watched with interest.

The man didn't turn to look at Lin, but just looked out of the window. "Excuse me. I have a ticket with the number of the seat you're sitting in!" Lin said in a stronger voice.

"I also have a ticket with that number—though it is in another car. Besides, I was here first," said the man, without moving his head. Though he was sitting, he looked very tall and strong.

Lin looked at the other passengers for help. "But ... " he started to say. "But what?" The man turned and looked at Lin. "I'm not moving."

Finally a man wearing glasses spoke in a loud voice. "This young man has the right ticket for that seat. You should move."

Lin felt brave. "See? Please move. I've got a long way to go."

"How long?" the young man asked.

"To the last stop, Beijing."

"I'm getting off before you. Then you can have my seat. "

"Where is that?" asked Lin."Hangzhou."

Lin thought Hangzhou was far away.

"It's seven hours away from here," the man with glasses said. "Even if it's only 10 minutes, you should move."

Slowly the young man stood up, dropped his cigarette on the floor, and disappeared down the train.

Module 2 Unit One It was great to see her again. Betty: Hey, Tony! How was the UK?

Tony: Guess what! I saw Sally in London.

Lingling: My pen friend Sally?

Tony: Yes, Sally, the girl who visited us last year and played in the orchestra.

Lingling: Oh, that's fantastic! How is she?

Tony: She's fine. It was great to see her again. I really like her. Betty: Did you do anything interesting while you were there? Did you visit her school?

Tony: Yes, I did. She took me there herself.

Betty: What's it like?
