The two men say that they know Godot, but in fact, they hardly know him; and they admit that they would not recognize him if they were to see him. To kill time, they eat, sleep, talk, argue, sing, play games, and exercise. Godots absence, as well as various other aspects of the play, has caused many different interpretations. The play was voted “the most significant English language play of the 2 0 th century”.Listening to the worldSharing4 Watch Part 3 and fill in the blanks.

ListeningAfter you listenWhen I was 1 2 years old and just graduated from elementary school, I went to Beijing with my dad to see the 2 0 0 8 Olympic Games. I loved basketball, so I wanted to watch the Chinese basketball team playing and I especially wanted to see Yao Ming playing. First, we tried to buy tickets online, but all tickets for basketball games had been sold out. Of course, I was very disappointed. Then we went to the stadium to see if someone would be selling extra tickets. After we waited for hours, we became hopeless. Listening to the world4 Work in pairs.

I enjoyed the game greatly and I was excited when China won. The best thing was that I sawYao Ming. What a wonderful experience! Listening to the worldSharing Listening Viewing Listening to the world1 Discuss the questions.ViewingBEFORE you view1 Have you ever been to a wedding? If yes, did you enjoy it? Why or why not? Yes, I have been to a wedding. It was the wedding of my best friends sister. I enjoyed it very much because there was a lot of delicious food and I met a lot of friends there. Listening to the world1 Discuss the questions.ViewingBEFORE you view2 Do you know anything about a traditional Chinese wedding? Mention at least three things. Yes, I do. First, there is the ritual of bowing at traditional Chinese weddings. The bride and the groom bow to show their respect first to Heaven and Earth, then to their parents, and finally to each other. Second, there is always a huge wedding banquet. Family members and friends are invited to the wedding banquet. A huge amount of food is served along with liquor and wine. Third, the red color is used to create a happy atmosphere. Colors play a significant role in Chinese culture, both then and now. Red is the traditional wedding color as it signifies joy, love, and prosperity.

Why or why not? I really like the Greek wedding style. I like the music and the dance very much. I can tell how excited people are and how much they enjoy the occasion. At a Greek wedding, people can gather together with their family, relatives, and friends, and fully enjoy music, dance, food and drink. Not really. I dont particularly like big noisy weddings. I prefer a smaller and quieter wedding. I would rather just invite my family and a few close friends to my wedding. Listening to the worldViewing5 Discuss the questions.AFTER you view2 What kind of wedding would you like to have when you get married? Give your reasons. I definitely like the modern Chinese wedding most because it not only has some traditional elements such as the red color, traditional wedding outfits, and the ritual of bowing, but also contains Western elements, including champagne, wedding rings, and a wedding cake. I actually prefer not to have a wedding ceremony. I would like to have a honey oon instead. Getting married should only involve two people. I hope I can enjoy the happiness without being disturbed by others. Another important reason why I want to skip the wedding is that preparing for a wedding is such a huge, exhausting, and time-consuming project. Additional NotesGreek wedding In many parts of Greece, people hold a traditional wedding, and they usually play only traditional music and eat local food. In most traditional weddings, they bake whole animals. Traditionally, the whole village attends the wedding. A typical Greek wedding usually has 1 0 0 or more guests who are friends, brothers, sisters, grandparents, uncles, aunts, first or second cousins,neighbors and co-workers. It is common to have guests whom the couple have never met before. Listening to the worldViewing Speaking for communicationRole-play1 Listen to three phone conversations and complete the table.
