Module 1 How to learn EnglishUnit 1 Let’s try to speak English as much as possible.Ms James: Welcome back, everyone! Today, we’re going to talk about good ways to learn English. Ready? Who has some advice?Lingling: We should always speak English in class.Ms James: Good! Let’s try to speak English as much as possible.Daming: Why not write down the mistakes in our notebooks?Ms James: That’s a good idea. And don’t forget to write down the correct answers next to the mistak es. What else?Lingling: It’s a good idea to spell and pronounce new words aloud every day.Ms James: Thanks a lot, Lingling. How about listening to the radio?Lingling: Yes, that’s good for our pronunciation too. But there are so many new word. Ms James: Y ou don’t need to understand every word. You just need to listen for key words and main ideas. Daming: That’s the same for reading. English stories are so interesting. I get to know a lot about the world through reading.Lingling: I think writing is also important. Why don’t we try to find some English pen friends? We can write to them. Ms James: Excellent! I agree with you.Unit 2 You should smile at her!Send your questions to Diana, the Language Doctor.Many students ask for advice about how to improve their English. Here are three basic questions. The first question is about understanding English films and songs. Li Hao from Hubei wrote, “I li ke watching English films and listening to English songs, but I can only understand a little. What ca n I do?”Watching films and listening to songs are great way to learn English! Watch and listen several tim es, and guess the meaning of the new words. Each time you will learn something new. I also advise you to talk about the films or songs with your friends.The second question is about speaking. Wang Fan from Jilin wrote, “Our school has a teacher fro m the US. I am shy and I am afraid to speak to her. What should I do?”You can say, “Hello! How are you?”“Do you like China?” These are good ways to start a conversat ion. And before you begin, you should smile at her! Remember this: Do not be shy. Just try.The third question is about vocabulary. Zhang Lei from Anhui wrote, “I write down new words, but I forget them quickly. How can I remember them?”Do not worry. It is natural to forget new words! I suggest you write four or five words a day on piec es of paper and place them in your room. Read the words when you see them, and try to use them. Module 2 My home town and my countryUnit 1 It’s taller than many other buildings.Tony: Hey, Daming! How was your weekend?Daming: Pretty good! I went to Shenzhen.Tony: Where’s Shenzhen?Daming: Well, it’s on the coast near Hong Kong. It was a small village about thirty years ago, but to day it’s a very big city.Tony: So it’s a newer city than Hong Kong?Daming: Yes, it’s a newer city. In fact, it only became important in the 1980s.It’s getting bigger and busier. Some day it will become as busy as Hong Kong, I’m sure.Tony: What’s the population of Shenzhen?Daming: It’s over ten million, I think. That’s larger than the population of many other cities in Chin a. Its streets are much wider and cleaner too. I think it’s a beautiful city.Tony: I’d like to go to there one day.Daming: Remember to visit the Diwang Tower. It’s taller than many other buildings in Shenzhen.Unit 2 Cambridge is a beautiful city in the east of England.Cambridge, London and EnglandBy Tony SmithI come from Cambridge, a beautiful city in the east of England. It is on the River Cam and has a population of about 120,000. My home is especially famous for its university. Many famous people studied here, such as Isaac Newton and Charles Darwin. There are lots of old buildings and church es to visit. Students and tourists enjoy trips along the river by boat.Cambridge is 80 kilometres from London. London is in the south of England and it is on the Riv er Thames. It has a population of about seven and a half million, so it is bigger and busier than Cam bridge. It is about 2,000 years old, and it is famous for Big Ben, Buckingham Palace and Tower Bri dge.England itself is a part of an island, and you are always near the sea. The small villages and bea ches on the coast are popular for holidays. Tourists like the areas of low and beautiful lakes in the n orth, and the hills and pretty villages in the south. Everywhere in England you will notice how gree n the countryside is.It is never very hot in summer or very cold in winter. So come and see England any time of the ye ar, but bring an umbrella with you. You will need it most days.Module 3 SportsUnit 1 Nothing is more exciting than playing tennis.Daming: Hey, Tony. Come and watch the football match on TV.Tony: OK. What’s the score?Daming: Spain scored a minute ago.Tony: Wow! That’s fast!Daming: That’s right. Last week the match on TV was so boring because no one scored at all. So thi s week’s match is already more exciting.Betty: What’s the matter with you, Tony? You look tired.Tony: I’m really tired after last night’s tennis match. And I hurt my knee.Daming: That’s too bad! Sit down and watch the match. It’s safer than playing tennis.Betty: Yes, watching is not sure about that. Nothing is more relaxing too!Tony: Well, I’m not sure about that. Nothing is more enjoyable than playing tennis.Betty: But you enjoyed watching the Olympics on TV, right?Tony: Yes, but that’s because it was cheaper than buying tickets for all the games.Daming: And staying at home was easier than going to the stadium. Oh, look at that!Tony: Oh, he missed! Oh, bad luck!Daming: Never mind. There’s still plenty of time for them to score.Unit2 This year we practice more carefully.Training hardBy Li Daming It is Saturday tomorrow, but I am going to school. I am not going for lessons, but to play football. I am in our school team and we are going to play against another sch ool next week. The practice starts at 10 am. We all arrive as early as we can so that w e have time to warm up. We are training harder than usual because the other team bea t us last year. This year we want to do better.It is more difficult to practise in winter because the days are short and the weather is cold too. It gets dark earlier, so it is important not to be late for after-school practic e.Our coach is pleased because we are playing better as a team now. Last year we w ere sometimes careless when we passed the ball and we lost to the other team in the fi nal match. What a pity! This year we practise more carefully. That means we have a b etter chance of winning.The fan club has fewer people this year. We hope to play well so that we have mo re fans to watch the matches. It is good to have our fans around. They cheer us on lou dly and we feel more confident to win the game.Module 4 Planes, ships, and trainsUnit1 He lives the farthest from schoolBetty: I was late for school today.Mum: Why? What happened?Betty: I took the bus. There was a road accident, and the traffic was very heavy. But n obody was late, except me. Maybe I should go to school by taxi.Mum: It’s the most comfortable way, but it’s also the most expensive.Betty: Then what about going by bike?Mum: That’s a good choice, but it’s a bit dangerous. There’s so much traffic. Betty: But most of my classmates ride bikes, and it’s quite safe. Don’t worry. I’ll be c arefull.Mum: How does Tony go to school?Betty: He lives the farthest from school, so he takes the underground.Mum: And what about Lingling?Betty: Her home is the closest to school, so she walks.Mum: How about Daming?Betty: He goes by bus too, the same as me. But it’s so crowded! And the traffic is hea vy.Mum: All right. You can ride your bike to school, but remember to be careful all the ti me.Unit2 What is the best way to travel?Question: What is the best way to travel from London to Amsterdam.I am planning to travel from London to Amsterdam. How long does the journey ta ke and what is the best way to travel? Could you please tell me about the trains or shi ps to get there? The more information, the better. Thanks!Best answer: There are four ways to travel.A journey by train is more relaxing than by coach, but a lot more expensive. When you go by train, buy your ticket a long time before you travel. It is usually cheaper.You can go by car and by ship across the North Sea. This is the most comfortable way to travel but also the most expensive. Book your ticket before you book your hot el. Remember that parking in Amsterdam is very expensive, so stay outside the city c entre and travel in by bus or by train.The third choice is by coach. This is usually the cheapest, but in summer the coach es sometimes get crowded! And it takes you about twelve hours to get there. However , it will not cost as much as going by train.Finally, you can fly. It is the fastest and the second cheapest, but you may have to wait for hours at the airport because of bad weather.Well, I hope this helps! Have a great trip.Module 5 Lao She TeahouseUnit 1 I wanted to see the Beijing Opera.Listen and readBetty: Lingling and I went to Lao She Teahouse last night.Tony: How was it?Betty: It was great!

He wrote it in 1957. The play has three acts and shows the lives of common people in China from the end of the nin eteenth century to the middle of twentieth century. It tells us the story of Wang Lifa a nd the customers of his teahouse in Beijing. It describes the changes in Chinese societ y over fifty years around the beginning of the twentieth century.2Lao She was born in Beijing in 1899. His mother sent him to a teacher’s school i n 1913. After finishing school in 1918, he became a head teacher of a primary school. In 1924 Lao She left home and went to England. He taught Chinese at a college in L ondon and returned to China five years later. He wrote many plays, novels and short s tories about people’s lives, and was named “the People’s Artist”.

I saw the pandas at last! But I am more interested to see the pandas in the Wolong Panda Reserve, because it allows people to get closer to them.Lingling: It’s sad to think of the pandas and other animals in danger.Betty: We need to protect them better.Lingling: Yes, Many wild animals don’t have a safe place to live, because villages and farms are growing bigger and are taking away their land and forests.Betty: Also, often there isn’t enough clean water, because we’ve made it dirty. I think we all need to help animals live in peace. Look, there’s a notice.Lingling: It says,“Help! We want to save animals in danger, and we need your help.”Betty: But what can we do?Lingling: It says,“Your money pays to look after the animals.”That means we can giv e money to help protect the animals.Betty: Maybe we can raise some money at school. Let’s find out what else we can do to save as many animals as possible.Unit 2 The WWF is working hard to save them all.2 Read the passage and match the heading with the paragraphs.a)Nature parks for pandasb) WWF And animals in dangerc) The panda’s homed) An animal in danger1Pandas are in danger. There are only about 1,600 pandas living in the wild today. Zoos and research centres are looking after about 340 pandas. Pandas do not have m any babies, and baby pandas often die. The situation is getting very difficult. Scientist are doing a lot of research to help pandas produce more babies and help baby pandas live.2Pandas live in the forests and mountains of Southwest China. Each panda needs to eat a lot of bamboo every day. The bamboo forests are getting smaller, so pandas are losing their home. And there are not many pandas left.3In order to protect pandas in the wild, the government is setting up nature parks and developing other plans. The nature parks will be big and there will be more bamb oo to feed the pandas. Pandas born in zoos may go back to live in the nature parks.4The World Wild Fund for Nature (WWF) wants to protect all animals. And it cho se the panda to be its symbol. We do not want to lose tigers, elephants, or any other a nimals, so the WWF is working hard to save them all.Module7 A famous storyUnit1 Alice was sitting with her sister by the river.Tony: Hi,Lingling!Lingling: Ssh!

Parkville was near Arnwick, a city with 200,00 0 people. People from Parkville moved to Armwick to find jobs. And they needed p laces to live.However, it was expensive to live in the city centre, so the government built flats o utside the centre.

And you’d better not cut your hair during the Spring Festival month.Daming: And in the north of China, people eat lots of jiaozi!Betty: Perfect! They taste great.Tony: I like eating jiaozi too. Anyway, the Spring Festival is still over a month away. Let’s celebrate Lingling’s birthday first!Unit 2 In England you usually drink tea with milk.My experiences in England. I went to England last year. I enjoyed my stay, and I noticed something interesting with the English way of life.For example, you must sayMr or Mrs when you meet someone for the first time. When you get to know each ot her better or when they ask you to, you can just use their first names.One day we visited some friends and had afternoon tea together. Afternoon tea is n ot just a drink but a light meal at around 4 pm. We ate sandwiches and a large fruit c ake.In England you usually drink tea with milk.So I tried to drink tea with milk too. Fish and chips is the traditional food in England. You can buy it and eat it in special fi sh and chip shops on the high street, or you can take it away and eat it with your finge rs. It is delicious!At the bus stop you must not push your way onto the bus. You need to stand in a line behind the other people and wait your turn. Sometimes people are slow to get o n the bus.Once I noticed a gentleman touch a young man on the shoulder, smile politely and say, “Excuse me! Are you waiting for this bus?” He was really polite.Module 12 HelpUnit1 What should we do before help arrives?Ms James: This mornings class is about first aid, or giving someone basic medical help. Let’s imagine an accident. A boy is lying at the bottom of the stairs. He isn’t moving or making a sound. He is in pain. What can we do to help him?Betty: First of all, find out what’s wrong with him.Ms James: How do we do that?Betty: Ask him.Ms James: Ok. But he could have trouble hearing you or speaking to you.Lingling: Shout for help? Call 120?Ms James: Good idea, but what should we do before help arrives?Tony: Make him comfortable.Ms James: And how can we do that?Tony: Lift him up and sit him on a chair?Ms James: No, that could be harmful! You could drop him and hurt him even more. B etty, you must know! You did some basic medical training.Betty: Make sure he’s warm. Cover him with a coat.Ms James: That’s such good advice that you could be a doctor, Betty!Unit 2 Stay away from windows and heavy furniture.What to do in an earthquakeEarthquakes always happen suddenly, so it is difficult to warn people about them. Usually people have little or no idea about what to do during an earthquake, so here is some advice. Inside Do not jump out of high buildings. Hide under a table. Stay awa y from windows and heavy furniture. Keep clear of fires. Leave the building quickly when the ground stops shaking, but do not use the lift.Keep calm, especially when yo u are with other people. Be brave and be helpful.Outside Move away from buildings, because parts of a building may fall on you. Do not stand near street lights or under power lines. Stay away from bridges and tree s. If you are in a bus or car, stay in it.In the mountains, be careful of falling rocks.On a beach, run away from the sea and move quickly to higher ground.In short, follow what you learnt in school. You can be safe and you can also help save others。
