Dialogue 1: Inviting a Friend to Celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival
Mary: What’s the significance behind the festival? Wang: Well, it’s to remember the famous poet, Qu Yuan, an ancient Chinese patriot who lived in the Warring States period, over 2 000 years ago. After learning that the capital of his home state Chu had fallen into the hands of the Qin state, Qu Yuan jumped to his death into the Miluo river in Hubei province. On hearing the story of Qu Yuan’s death, his townspeople took to their dragon boats and raced to rescue him, but in vain. People threw Zongzi into the river lest the fish would feed on Qu Yuan. Since then, dragon boat races are held and Zongzi is eaten on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month every year. Mary: It’s very interesting. Thank you.

Dialogue 2: Punctuality for a Dinner Party
Mary: If I’m caught in a traffic jam, what should I do? Lee: You must call the host or hostess on the telephone, give the reason, and tell him or her at about what time you can arrive. And if you’ve accepted a dinner party invitation and can’t make it, you must telephone the host or hostess just as soon as you know, preferably at least a week in advance. Mary: By the way, do I need to bring a gift? Lee: Yes, it’s polite to bring a small gift, like flowers and candies. Mary: Oh, I see. Thank you.
Task 1
Jack: Is there anything special about Sichuan Opera? Ma: Yes, face-changing is one of the specialties. In Chinese opera, facial makeup is usually painted, but in the facechanging performance, the actor can change his “faces” one after another on the stage, leaving the audience puzzled how it was done. Jack: That sounds marvelous.

Task 1
Ma:
Hi Jack! Will you join us to watch Sichuan Opera tomorrow evening? Jack: I’d love to, but I’m afraid I won’t understand it. Ma: Oh. Don’t worry. I can help you understand it.

The contents of it are usually adapted from classical Chinese novels, mythologies, legends and folk tales. Jack: What about ─ the musical instruments? Ma: It is accompanied by percussion and stringed instruments.

Dialogue 2: Punctuality for a Dinner Party
Zhang: I’ve been invited to a dinner party on Saturday. What time should I arrive? Diana: On time or even a few minutes late—but not early. Zhang: Why? In China guests should arrive before the dinner starts. Diana: But now you are in the United States. It’s OK to be a few minutes late, which might give the host or hostess more time to prepare the dinner. Zhang: Won’t the dishes get cold if guests are a few minutes late? Diana: No, no. Generally when you arrive you first get a drink and then chat with people for a while. The dinner will not start until all the guests have arrived and finished their drinks.
Wang: Mary, would you like to come to our celebration tomorrow? Mary: I’d love to. What are you going to celebrate? Wang: Tomorrow is a traditional Chinese festival. Do you know what it is? Mary: Sorry, I don’t. China has so many festivals. Wang: Oh, it’s the Dragon Boat Festival, also called “Duanyang” or “Duan Wu” Festival. And “Zongzi” are traditional Duanyang desserts. . Mary: What’s a “Zongzi”? Wang: “Zongzi” is a kind of pyramid-shaped dumpling of glutinous rice filled with dates or meat and wrapped in bamboo or reed leaves.
