Some people are so afraid of making mistakes that they never open their mouths. And that’s the biggest mistake of all. Now if you have courage and are ready to make a few errors, what do you say?First of all, you have to open the conversation. Finding an appropriate topic is half the battle. Some topics, such as the weather and news, work well. But others, such as age, money or people’s appearance do not. The following are some good ways to open a conversation.Weather –It sure is cold today, i sn’t it?News – Did you hear about that terrible forest fire?A conversation in a foreign language doesn’t always go smoothly. Sometimes your partner talks too fast and you find itdifficult to follow. Not to worry, though. You can always ask your partner to repeat what he has said or to speak more slowly. For example, “Excuse me, but could you say that again? I didn’t catch it.” Or “Could you speak more slowly, please?”At the end of a conversation you need to find a way to close it in a polite way. “Well,I really need to be going,” or “It was nice talking to you” are frequently used by people to end a conversation.Exercise 1: 1. b c a 2. DExercise 2: 1. a. age b. money c. people’s appearance2. a. say that again? I didn’t catch it. b. speak more slowly, please3. a. really need to be going b. nice talking to you.Dialogue 11. do you have a minute?2. What can I do for you3. several4. I wonder if you could tell me how I could improve my oral English5. every time I open my mouth I seem to make errors6. be willing to make some errors at the beginning.7.

That guy who won the first prize speaks really fluent English. I do admire him.5. Me, too.6. I have an appointment with the dean.Part CTapescript Smile When You Read ThisHow good is your memory? Answer these four questions: What did you have for breakfast yesterday? What clothes did you wear last Friday? Who did you talk to yesterday? Where did you go last Saturday? If you can answer all four questions, you memory is very good.Memory is important for leaning language skills. Education specialists in England want to help people improve their reading abilities. They want students to remember the books and articles they read. The specialists found something to help: facial expressions. They gave ten students a happy article to read. Five of the students read the happy article while smiling. Five students read the happy article while frowning. Then they answered comprehension questions the smiling studentsremembered more of the happy article than the frowning students.Then the specialists gave ten students another article to read. It was an angry letter to the editor of a newspaper. Five students read the angry article while smiling, and five students read the angry article whiling frowning. Which group remembered better? You’re right. The frowning students.The specialist don’t know why facial expressions he lp memory. They are continuing to study the relationship between the mind and the body. Until they find the answer, keep smiling (or frowning?)!Exercise:1. If one can answer all the four questions, his memory is thought to be good. (I hear it.)2. The smiling student could remember more happy articles than the frowning students. (I hear it.)3. Education specialist from England haven’t found the best way to help people improve reading abilities. (I can not infer it.)4. The specialists are trying to explain the reason why facial expressions can help memory (I can infer it.)5. According to the speaker, facial expressions might affect a person’s memory. (I can infer it.)6. In the second group five students who read the angry letter while smiling remembered less. (I can infer it.)。

Unit 2 Fun with LanguagePart ACommunicative FunctionOpening and Closing a ConversationIn everyday life, we often have to open and close a conversation. This exercise focuses on how people perform these communicative functions.Listen to the recording and decide if the first sentence of each short dialogue you hear begins the opening or the closing of a conversation. Choose “a. Opening” or “b. Closing”.Example: --Would you mind closing the window? It's cold in here.--Of course not.a. Openingb. Closing1. a. Opening b. Closing2. a. Opening b. Closing3. a. Opening b. Closing4. a. Opening b. Closing5. a. Opening b. Closing6. a. Opening b. ClosingScript:1.--It’s been a really wonderful evening. Thank you very much for inviting us.--I’m glad you enjoyed it.--Maybe we could get together sometime at my home.--Sounds nice.2.--Great party, isn’t it?--Yeah, really.--You look familiar to me. Have we met before?--I'm afraid not.3. --I'm afraid I have to go now.--So soon? Well, I enjoyed our talk together.--Me too.4. --Excuse me, could you tell me the time?--It's half past 5 by my watch.--Thank you very much.--You're welcome.5. --Is this seat taken?--Oh, let me move my stuff.--Aren't you Jack Brown? I'm Bill, Bill Stone.--Oh, hello, Bill. Fancy meeting you here!6. --Hi, Jack. So good to see you.--Oh, hi, Andy. It's been quite a while since we saw each other last. How're things with you?--Just fine. What've you been doing these years?--Well, I've been studying for my Ph.D degree here at the university.--That's wonderful.Useful Expressions for Opening and Closing a ConversationOpening a Conversation●Beautiful day, isn’t it?●Terrible weather, don’t you think so?●Excuse me, is anybody sitting here / is this seat taken?●I wonder if you can do me a favor.●You look familiar to me, aren't you …?●Excuse me, haven't we met somewhere before?●Excuse me, have you got any stamps?●Excuse me, could you tell me the time?●Excuse me, is this the way to the library?●Sorry, I couldn't help overhearing—did you mention something about...?●Er, do you have a minute? I'm not quite sure what this word means.Closing a Conversation●It was nice talking to you / to see you again.●It was great seeing you.●See you again sometime / See you tomorrow.●Have a good day / a nice weekend / trip.●Thanks very much for inviting us to your wonderful party.●I hope to see you again soon. Let’s have lunch together sometime.●I'm afraid I have to get back to my office. I'm expecting a phone call.●It’s been great seeing you again. Gee, look at the time. I’ve got to run. Talk to you later.●Well, thanks for talking to us today.●I’ve got to be going. I’ll be in touch.●Well, the time has come for us to say goodbye.●Keep in touch. Remember to give me a ring / send me an e-mail sometime.Notes"Have a good day" is an informal expression used when people part from each other. Similar expressions are "Have a good weekend / trip / evening."Listening StrategyDistinguishing between Similar SoundsIt is important to distinguish between similar sounds while listening. Names like Jean and Jane, figures like 18 and 80 can sound quite alike. Titles like Mrs and Miss can also be confusing.Listen to the recording and underline the letter beside the word you hear in the sentence.1. a. Miss b. Mrs2. a. 1913 b. 19303. a. can b. can't4. a. 20th b. 28th5. a. Mary b. married6. a. Black b. Blake7. a. is b. isn't8. a. said b. sad9. a. bill b. beer10. a. Ann b. AnnaScript:1.May I introduce Miss Jones to you?2.John Davis was born in California in 1930.3.I can’t agree with you more.4.My birthday is on June 20th.5.Paul, is your sister married?6.Look, here comes Mr. Black, our sales manager.7.Bob isn't in the library right now.8.Mr. Taylor is said to be leaving for South Africa soon.9.Pass me the beer, please.10.I was wondering if you could help Anna with her music lessons.Part BPre-listening TaskQuestions for DiscussionYou are going to talk about English conversation skills. Read the following questions and discuss them with your partner.1.You have learned English for several years, but do you often speak English with yourclassmates and friends?2.Are you afraid of making mistakes?3.How can you improve your English conversation skills?4.If you want to talk to a native speaker of English you meet for the first time, what topicsare appropriate?5.How would you start and close a conversation?Demo:2. Are you afraid of making mistakes?Yes, I fear to talk in English, especially with strangers. I'm not very good at speaking and Ithink I tend to make more mistakes when talking to my teachers and fewer mistakes with native speakers. I know mistakes are ok and helpful in our learning process, but still I just want to avoid making mistakes, especially on some formal occasions.5. How would you start and close a conversation?Well, there are many ways to start and close a conversation. It depends on whether the conversation is formal or informal. If you are talking with a close friend, you can use any sentence to open or close a conversation. If you are talking with a stranger, you'd better be formal and polite. For example, you can open a conversation: "Excuse me, do you have a minute?" "Can I ask you a favor?" For closing a conversation, you can say: "Nice talking to you. Bye bye!"Language FocusHere are some useful sentences and structures that you might find handy in discussing the above questions:●I often speak English to / with my friends.●To tell the truth, I seldom speak English.●I make mistakes whenever I open my mouth to speak English.●Mistakes are probably unavoidable when we try to speak a foreign language.●No mistakes, no progress.●I'm afraid of making mistakes because I don't want to lose face, so sometimes I just giveup.●I think the best way to improve our oral English is to speak as much as possible.●We learn to speak by speaking.●Practice makes perfect.●Reading more and listening more helps to improving oral English.●No input, no output.●Topics like the weather, places, trips, hobbies, films, books...tend to be safe.●Personal questions should be avoided, I think.Listening TasksA Passage How to Improve Your Conversation SkillsWord Bankappropriate a. suitable, proper 恰当的，合适的smoothly ad. easily, without difficulty 顺利地，无困难地half the battle the thing that counts most in successfully carrying through a difficult task成功的重要条件ScriptHow to Improve Your Conversation SkillsTo speak to people in a foreign language requires courage and a willingness to make errors.

Sometimes your partner talks too fast and you find it difficult to follow. Not to worry, though. You can always ask your partner to repeat what he has said or to speak more slowly. For example, “Excuse me, but could you say that again? I didn’t catch it.” Or “Could you speak more slowly, please?”At the end of a c onversation you need to find a way to close it in a polite way. “Well, I really need to be going” or “It was nice talking to you” are frequently used by people to end a conversation.Language and Culture NotesBackground information Language is closely related to culture. There are cultural differences between China and the English-speaking countries. In Chinese, questions like “Have you had your breakfast?” or “where are you going?” are often used to greet a person or to initiate a conversation. However, to native speakers of English, the question about the meal would suggest an invitation and therefore may cause misunderstanding. Similarly, the question “Where are you going?” in English is normally a request for information and only used by someone in authority or between very close friends. Therefore, in conversations with native speakers of English, we have to guard against inappropriate topics. In the West, directly asking adults, especially women, their age is generally regarded as impolite. “How much do you earn?” is also an embarrassing question, Income is considered as an extremely personal and private affair, and even within a family, one may not know the exact salary of another family member. Asking native speakers of English directly how much they paid for something is also regarded as an invasion of their privacy. If you really want to get information about the above-mentioned matters, you should use indirect ways. For example, instead of “How much did it cost?” you can say “Is it very expensive?” This gives your partner a choice of reply. In addition, do not give them advice, such as “Put on more clothes” and “Drink plenty of water”. Such remarks seem to them to be rather too parental. In a word, we have to make our English not only grammatically correct but also socially acceptable. In other words, we should be developing a cross-cultural perspective in learning English.There are also similarities in the two cultures, despite the differences. Appropriate topic can be jobs, hobbies, housing, holidays and outings, films, TV programs, and other forms of entertainment.Exercise 1: Listening for general understandingListen to the recording once and then do the following.1. Rearrange the order of the following sentences according to the passage you hear.a. Use some strategies to carry on the conversation.b. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes, which are unavoidable.c.

Courage and a willingness will definitely result in errors.b. Starting a conversation is more difficult than closing it.c. Choose an appropriate topic and the conversation will be a success.d. Mistakes are unavoidable when you learn to speak a foreign language.Exercise 2: Listening for detailsListen to the recording once again and complete the answers to the following questions.1.

Excuse me, but could you say that again? I didn't catch it.b. Could you speak more slowly, please?3. How do you close a conversation politely?a. Well, I really need to be going.b. It was nice talking to you.Speaking TasksPair WorkListen to the conversations and repeat after the recording. Practise the conversations with your partner, playing the role of A or B. Then work with your partner to create your own conversations by replacing the underlined parts with your own words.A Passage Smile When You Read ThisListen to the passage and decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F). Correct the ones that are false.1. The smiling students could remember more of the happy article than the frowning students.(T)2.The smiling students could also remember more of the angry article than the frowningstudents.(F)(The frowning students remembered the angry article better.)3. According to the speaker, facial expressions might affect a person’s memory.(T)4. Nowadays the specialists understand why facial expressions can help to improve memory.(F)(The specialists still don’t know why facial expressions help memory.)ScriptSmile When You Read ThisHow good is your memory? Answer these four questions: What did you have for breakfast yesterday? What clothes did you wear last Friday? Who did you talk to yesterday? Where did you go last Saturday? If you can answer all the four questions, your memory is very good.Education specialists in England have been looking into ways to improve our memory of what we read. The specialists found something to help: facial expressions. They gave ten students a happy article to read. Five of the students read the happy article while smiling. Five students read the happy article while frowning. Then they answered comprehension questions. The smiling students remembered more of the happy article than the frowning students.Then the specialists gave ten students another article to read. It was an angry letter to the editor of a newspaper. Five students read the angry article while smiling, and five students read the angry article while frowning. Which group remembered better? You’re right. The frowning students.The specialists don’t know why facial expressions help memory. They are continuing to study the relationship between the mind and the body. Until they find the answer, keep smiling (or frowning?)!Part DTest Your Listening A PassageListen to the passage and choose the right answers to the questions you hear.1. What cond ition does the expression “beside oneself” describe today?a. It describes something that really is not possible.b. It describes the possibility of having two of the same person appear together.c. It describes someone who is completely helpless because of anger.d. It describes someone who is extremely excited because of anger or joy.2. What is meant by the expression “flip your lid”?a. You may do something strange in extreme excitement.b. You are beside yourself with happiness.c. You lose self-control due to happiness or anger.d. You turn over the lid of your cooking pot to let the heat out.3. What does the passage mainly discuss?a. Expressions used to describe someone in great joy.b. Origins of some expressions describing someone in great anger.c. Meanings and effectiveness of some common expressions.d. People's excitement and related expressions.Script:Many expressions may be used to describe someone who is excited. One such expression is to be "beside oneself". You can be beside yourself with anger or beside yourself with happiness, although usually not both at the same time! If you are beside yourself, you are filled with excitement.The dictionary tells us that "beside" means "next to", or "at the side of". So the expression "beside oneself" describes something that really is not possible.Today, you might hear a husband say, "When my wife told me we were going to have a baby, I was beside myself with joy." Or someone might tell you he was beside himself with anger because he had just lost his job.When you are full of joy or are extremely excited about something, you may do something else that is strange. You may "flip your lid". A lid is the cover that prevents something from escaping from a container. A lid on a cooking pot, for example, keeps the heat from escaping. To flip something is to turn it over. So when you "flip your lid", you become so excited that you lose your self-control.。

to brew for too long creates a situation that becomes moredifficult to make up.So after the fight calms down,make sure you talk to the person before it's toolate.Tip three:It's okay to be the first to give in and apologize.The other person probably wantsto do it too,but it shows your courage and that you are a dedicated friend.Yet,if you'reconstantly in fights and always making up first,then take

全新版大学英语（第二版）听说教程1彭鹏整理Unit 1 Part B A Passage Talking About Studying EnglishAt a gathering of students from China and some other countries, Yang Weiping and Virginia Wang, both first-year college students, are talking about their learning of English. Hello, my name is Yang Weiping. I'm a freshman at Peking University and I'm majoring in chemistry. At college we have to study a foreign language. I choose English because I like listening to English programs on the radio and TV. I also like British and American pop songs. Some day I hope to visit Britain and the United States. I started learning English several years ago and I'm getting better at it. My favorite activity is listening, especially listening to songs and stories. My big problem is, however, speaking. I feel nervous whenever I speak. And I never seem to know what to say when people talk to me. But I've decided to overcome my shyness and learn to speak English by speaking as much as I can. Hi, my name is Virginia Wang. I'm a library science major at the National University of Singapore. In our country, English is important. It is one of the official languages and you have to be fluent in English to get a good job. I've been studying English since high school. I'm good at reading because I like learning about new things and new ideas. There are so many books and articles written in English. Our textbooks at the university are in English, too.I know writing is also very important, but I find it really difficult. When I graduate from the university, I would like a job in the city library where I can read all kinds of new books.Questions 1. Which of the following would be the best title for the two talks?2. Who are the speakers?Unit 2 Part B A Passage How to Improve Y our Conversation Skills To speak to people in a foreign language requires courage and willingness to make errors. Some people are so afraid of making mistakes that they never open their mouths. And that's the biggest mistake of all. Now if you have courage and are ready to make a few errors, what do you say? First of all, you have to open the conversation. Finding an appropriate topic is half the battle. Some topics, such as the weather and news, work well. But others, such as age, money or people's appearance do not. The following are some good ways to open a conversation. Weather — It sure is cold today, isn't it? News — Did you hear about that terrible forest fire? A conversation in a foreign language doesn't always go smoothly. Sometimes your partner talks too fast and you find it difficult to follow. Not to worry, though. You can always ask your partner to repeat what he has said or to speak more slowly. For example, "Excuse me, but could you say that again? I didn't catch it." Or "Could you speak more slowly, please?" At the end of a conversation you need to find a way to close it in a polite way. "Well, I really need to be going" or "It was nice talking to you is frequently used by people to end a conversation.Unit 8 Part B A Passage A Steady JobFred, a very conscientious worker, had one serious flaw: he was clumsy. The poor boy spoiled everything he did and for that reason could never keep a job. He'd had many jobs over the years but only for a few weeks at a time. For six months, Fred was out of employment. Finally, he got a job in a warehouse where many different types of home furnishings were stored. Fred's job was to unpack the merchandise that had newly arrived from the factory and put each item in its assigned place. The work was only temporary, but after so long with no employment at all it was better than nothing. One morning Fred unpacked a large and quite fragile vase. He picked it up to carry across the warehouse. But he had only walked two steps before he tripped. There was a loud crash as the vase fell from Fred's hands and shattered into a thousand pieces. Fred was called immediately to the manager's office, and he was sure he would be fired. The young man's spirits began to drop. "I'll have to deduct something from your wages every week until the vase is paid for," the manager said sternly. "How much is the vase worth?" Fred asked. "$350." A wide grin spread across the young man's face. "That's wonderful!" he shouted happily. "At last I have a steady job!"Questions 1. What does the story mainly tell us?2. What can be inferred from the story?3. Which of the following is not appropriate to describe Fred?Unit 10 Part B A Passage Camp David(There is more than one answer for both questions.)Situated in Catcotin Mountain in Maryland, Camp David has been a holiday retreat for American presidents since the 1940s. It has an office for the president and living areas for his family and guests. It includes a swimming pool and areas to play golf and other sports. No one is permitted to enter Camp David except people invited by the president. Armed guards from the U.S. Marine Corps provide security. Preside Franklin Roosevelt established the camp in 1942. He wanted a place where he could go to escape the summer heat of Washington. He chose this area in the mountains because it was cool in the summers and the high location made it safe. He called it Shangri-la, the name of a perfect mountain kingdom in a popular book. President Truman made the camp the official presidential holiday resort in 1945. Eight years later, President Eisenhower changed its name to Camp David for his grandson David Eisenhower. Several presidents have used Camp David for important meetings. President Roosevelt met there with British Prime Minister Winston Churchill during World War II. President Eisenhower in 1959 and President Carter in 1978 also used the place for talks with leaders of other countries. In July 2000, Israeli and Palestinian leaders also met at Camp David for peace talks.Questions 1. Which of the following haven't been mentioned?2. Which of the following are true about Camp David?Unit 11 Part B A Passage Dog MaWashington D.C. is a city where people in politics,law and business work more than eight hours each day.Hundreds of thousands of dog owners hate to leave their dogs alone every workday.So they take their furry friends to a dog day-care center in the Washington area.There the dogs play with other dogs and the workers.They also play with toys and they can rest in comfort.Rebecca was a successful high-level official at a big company but she did not find her job very satisfying. Her working hours kept getting longer and longer.She felt very guilty about leaving her two dogs inside the house for long periods of time.She knew she was not the only dog owner in Washington in this situation.She felt other people would be interested in a day-care center for dogs.So in 1998 Rebecca left her company and opened Dog Ma near the United States Capitol Building.Since then the business has grown to include one part-time and four full-time workers. One worker lives at the center. On a normal day, about 30 dogs are at the center. About 25% of them are younger than one year old. An average day at Dog Ma costs a dog owner about 25 dollars. Dog Ma also offers extra services. Dogs can stay overnight when their owners go out of town.Owners can pay to have their dogs washed and their fur and nails cut.The center also offers dog training and even transportation to and from the center.That is a big help for those dog owners who do not drive.Questions 1. What is Dog Ma? 2. What can you learn from the passage?Unit 13Part B A Passage Radio and TVThe most obvious difference between radio and television is that you listen and look at the television, but just listen to the radio. In this way, radio is more imaginative because it forces you to form pictures in your own mind rather than providing you with visual information, which is what television does. In addition, radio is more flexible than television, since you don't have to be in the same room as the radio set in order to listen to the programs, but you do have to be in the same room as a television in order to watch it. A radio is also far more portable than a television. You can listen to the radio while driving the car, jogging or even just walking around. Although portable televisions do exist, you can't really watch one while you are jogging, for example. One of the main advantages of radio, however, is that it offers the listeners more immediate access to information. Most radio stations broadcast news reports at regular half-hour or hourly intervals, but television news is only broadcast a few times each day. Also, the variety of topics you get on the radio is much greater than that on television. Radio is more personal than television. Many radio programs are interactive in a way that television cannever be. Listeners can call the radio station they are listening to and express their thoughts and opinions live on air. You can't ring up a television station and express your opinions, can you?Questions 1. What is the passage mainly about?2. Which of the following reflects the speaker's attitude?Unit 3 Part B A Conversation Accommodation for College Students R: Good morning. Can I help you?S: Yes, please.

For a double room, it's ￡52.78 per week. This will apply throughout this academic year.S: I'd like to stay in the self-catering accommodation. How far is it from the residence to the university?R: It all depends. The residences at Elms Road and Palm Road are about one and a half miles from the university main site and the Freemen's Common Houses at William Road are half a mile.S: When do I need to apply?R: Are you an undergraduate or a postgraduate?S: Undergraduate.R: Then you should apply for it as soon as possible, since places in university-owned accommodation are limited and if you don't apply before the end of the month, you are not likely to get a place.S: Could you possibly tell me what to do if no vacancy is available?R: Yes, you may consider private accommodation. The university runs an Accommodation Information Office and its staff will help you.S: Where's the office?R: In the Students' Union Building.S: Whom can I contact?R: Mr. Underwood — David Underwood, the manager of the Accommodation Information Office.S: Thank you very much.R: You are welcome.Questions 1.

If you let people talk about themselves, they'll think you're interesting.A: You mean something like "So, tell me what you're interested in"?B: Well, you don't have to be that direct. For example, you can talk about the weather.A: You can't be serious. The weather's boring.B: It's a good excuse to find out what they like to do. On a rainy day, you say, "What do you do in such terrible weather?"A: What if they just stayed home and read a book?B: Then ask them about the book. You can ask if it was good. Ask if they liked it and why. Then talk about a book you really liked.A: So that's what small talk is about, isn't it? Well, I'll give it a try. Thanks for the tips, Mike.B: You're welcome.
