懂你英语Level4 Unit 3 Part1 it 3-1 listening时间花费 Look at these 2 pie graphs. They show how these 2 people spend their days, not including weekends. The one on the top shows how Emma divides up her days. She is a designer who works for a company. As Emma’s graph shows, the biggest portion部分 of her day is spent working. She works an average of 8 hours a day, which is one third of her day. She gets an average of 6 hours to sleep which is 25% of her day. That’s less sleep than Marti n gets. According to his graph, he gets an average of 7 hours to sleep which is about 29% of his day. On the other hand, Martine who is engineer, works more hours than Emma does. Martine average 9 hours a day at work co mpare to Emma’s 8. That’s 37.5% compare to 33%. Other factors shown in the graph included time for meals and commuting to work. Other activities include getting dress and doing household chores such as doing laundry and paying bills. As you can see, for Martin, commuting is taking a large amount of his time. If he could reduce his commute time, he will have more time for other things. And it isn’t just the time. When the traffic is really heavy his commute is stressful. It will be great if he can work from home one or two days a week. He life will be more enjoyable. And we look at Emma’s graph, we see she probably needs more sleep. Perhaps, she should spend a bit less time socializing with her friends. On the other hand, socializing with her friend is something she really values. As for putting on makeup, she isn’t willing to change that. For her, exercising, socializing and staying beautiful help her deal with the stressful work. In conclusion, Emma and Martin both wish there were more hours in a day. This next graph shows how various factors compare important to 1350 jobs applicants. Applicants were between 20 to 25 years ago. They were asked to list which factors were most important for a good job. As the graph shows, money was the most important factor for 25% of the applicants. However, other factors are also important. The second most important factor was the work environment. In other words, for many, money is everything. People want to like where they work. In fact, if we combine working environment and co-workers, the total is 35%. This is well above the 25% for salary and benefits. Taking together, they are more important than salary and benefits. Career path is also important especially for younger applicants. They want to see that their job helps to build a successful career. For older workers, this may not be as important.
Level3-Unit1-Part1 Listening: An Unusual Day Kathy usually gets up at 6:30, but this morning she didn’t hear her alarm. As a result, she overslept. She didn’t get up until 7:00, 30 minutes later than usual. As a result, she didn’t have time to cook breakfast for her children. Today Kathy and her kids left home early. They usually leave home at 7:30, but today they left at7:15. They left early because they had to buy breakfast on their way to school. It usually takes 45 minutes to drive her kids to school, but today it took longer. It took them longer because they stopped for breakfast along the way. It took 15 minutes for them to have breakfast. They ate at a little coffee shop along the side of the road. After eating breakfast, they got back into their car. On most days, the traffic isn’t too bad in the morning. But this morning, it was much worse than usual. The cars were moving very slowly. As a result, it took them longer than usual to get to school. One of her children got to school on time, but the other two were late. They were late because their schools are farther away. They were both about 10 minutes late to school. When Kathy finally got home, she cleaned her house as usual. She vacuumed (/'v?kj??m/用真空吸尘器清扫) the living room and cleaned the bathroom. Then she talked with her friend on the phone as usual. When she finished talking with her friend, she got into her car. She put the key into the ignition (/?ɡ'n???n/发火装置) and tried to start the engine. But her car’s engine didn’t start. Her car battery was dead, so she had to call for help. After getting a new battery for her car, the engine started. Then Kathy drove to the mall to meet her friend. She arrived at the mall an hour late, but her friend was waiting for her. They had lunch together, and then they went shopping. They both bought new shoes and some things for their kids. Kathy bought a new tie for her husband. It’s now 3 o’clock, and everything is going as usual. Kathy doesn’t want anything else to go wrong. She wants the rest of the day to go as usual. She doesn’t want any more surprises. And tomorrow, she won’t oversleep. She never wants to oversleep again. Listening: Bus Schedule Here is a bus schedule at a bus stop.

Level3.Unit2 Part1 作者：Ding Ming Listening: States of Matter物质状态 Matter is made of atoms and molecules. Water, for example, is the H2O molecule. This means that a molecule of water has 3 atoms.这意味着水分子有3个原子。 A water molecule has two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Substances like sugar have many atoms in their molecules. A molecule of sugar has many atoms, including carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Matter is made of molecules, such as H2O, which is the water molecule. Matter can be one of three states, solid, liquid or gas. Water and ice are the same substance, but they are in different states. These states depend on the temperature of the molecules. When we heat a substance, the molecules move faster and try to take up more space. When we cool a substance, the molecules move more slowly. When we cool a substance to its freezing point, it becomes a solid. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------In a solid, the molecules move very little. Their positions are almost fixed. To be fixed means that their positions don’t change. If we heat the molecules, they move faster and away from each other.

懂你英语Level4 Unit 3 Part1 it 3-1 listening时间花费 Look at these 2 pie graphs. They show how these 2 people spend their days, not including weekends. The one on the top shows how Emma divides up her days. She is a designer who works for a company. As Emma’s graph shows, the biggest portion部分of her day is spent working. She works an average of 8 hours a day, which is one third of her day. She gets an average of 6 hours to sleep which is 25% of her day. That’s less sleep than Martin gets. According to his graph, he gets an average of 7 hours to sleep which is about 29% of his day. On the other hand, Martine who is engineer, works more hours than Emma does. Martine average 9 hours a day at work co mpare to Emma’s 8. That’s 37.5% compare to 33%. Other factors shown in the graph included time for meals and commuting to work. Other activities include getting dress and doing household chores such as doing laundry and paying bills. As you can see, for Martin, commuting is taking a large amount of his time. If he could reduce his commute time, he will have more time for other things. And it isn’t just the time. When the traffic is really heavy his commute is stressful. It will be great if he can work from home one or two days a week. He life will be more enjoyable. And we look at Emma’s graph, we see she probably needs more sleep. Perhaps, she should spend a bit less time socializing with her friends. On the other hand, socializing with her friend is something she really values. As for putting on makeup, she isn’t willing to change that. For her, exercising, socializing and staying beautiful help her deal with the stressful work. In conclusion, Emma and Martin both wish there were more hours in a day. This next graph shows how various factors compare important to 1350 jobs applicants. Applicants were between 20 to 25 years ago. They were asked to list which factors were most important for a good job. As the graph shows, money was the most important factor for 25% of the applicants. However, other factors are also important. The second most important factor was the work environment. In other words, for many, money is everything. People want to like where they work. In fact, if we combine working environment and co-workers, the total is 35%. This is well above the 25% for salary and benefits. Taking together, they are more important than salary and benefits. Career path is also important especially for younger applicants. They want to see that their job helps to build a successful career. For older workers, this may not be as important. Older workers often put the higher value on the balance between life and work. What do you think. it 3-1 vocabulary领土、军事、政治、政权状态 The government of a country is a control system.
