Hello, my name is Yang Weiping. Im a freshman at Peking University and Im 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 Im 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 Ive decided to overcome my shyness and learn to speak English by speaking as much as I can. Hi, my name is Virginia Wang. Im 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 to English to get a good job.Ive been studying English since high school. Im 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 rally 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.Exercise 1: b dExercise 2: 1)Yang 2)Chemistry 3)Likes listening to English programs on radio & TV; enjoys English pop songs 4) several years ago 5) listening; speaking6) Wang 7) Library science 8) To get a good job 9) in high school 10) reading; writingDialogue 11) may I sit here? 2) Sure. 3) Nice day 4) warm and sunny 5) computerDialogue 21) About four years 2) Very much 3) its very useful Dialogue 31) Listening 2) I find listening rather difficult 3) listen to this tape 4) Perhaps I shouldPart C1)skills 2)worry 3)focus 4)feel 5)understood 6)carefully 7)problems8)understand 9)main 10)detailsUnit 2Part A1.Closing 2.Opening 3.Closing 4.Opening 5.Opening 6.Opening1-5 a b b a b 6-10.a b a b b Part BTapescript How to Improve Your Conversation SkillsTo speak to people in a foreign language requires courage and a willingness to make errors. Some people are so afraid of making mistakes that they never open their mouths. And thats 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 peoples appearance do not. The following are some good ways to open a conversation. Weather It sure is cold today, isnt it?News Did you hear about that terrible forest fire?A conversation in a foreign language doesnt 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 didnt 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. peoples appearance 2. a. say that again?

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 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 whiling frowning. Which group remembered better? Youre right. The frowning students.The specialist dont 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?)!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 havent found the best way to help people improve reading abilities.

But college professors do much more than go to class. The average professor spends between six and fifteen hours in the classroom weekly. And that same college professor works from sixty to eighty hours a week. Because they must remain current in their fields, professors spend part of that time reading, reading, reading. That leads to additional hours during which they revise and update their class lecture notes. It takes far longer to prepare notes than to deliver them in class. Professors may spend time conducting experiments, working on college projects, or advising students. They may be writing books, articles, or papers for delivery at conventions. When not in the classroom or in the office, professors are still working, behind closed doors in committee sessions or at home grading papers and preparing for tomorrows classes. To accept this sort of schedule willingly, they must feel strongly about the importance of the college experience. Exercise: 1. A busy life. 2. Between six and fifteen hours. 3.They must remain current in their fields. 4. They will revise and update them.

But I dont know her friends very well. B: So get to know them.A: But Im no good at small talk.B: Small talk is easy. You can learn.A: By Friday?B: sure, Ill coach you. You just have to remember a few simple sentences.A: I dont know. I have trouble remembering things. Especially when I meet people. I get nervous. B: Dont worry, John. You can do it. You just need a few tips.A: But what if I say something stupid?B: Hey, youre not giving a speech. Youre just having a conversation. So just talk about something you know they are interested in. A: Thats the problem. I dont know what Carols friends are interested in. B: Let them tell you. If you let people talk about themselves, theyll think youre interesting.A: You mean something like, “So, tell me what youre interested in.”B: Well, you dont have to be that direct. For example, you can talk about the weather. A: You cant be serious. The weathers boring. B: Its 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 thats what small talk is about, is it? Well, Ill give it a try. Thanks for the tips, Mike. B: Youre welcome. Have a good time at the party. Note: Small talk means light conversations on unimportant or non-serious subjects such as the weather or TV programs you saw last night, or little compliments on what people are wearing. In a social gathering where a lot of guests are strangers to one another, small talk can be very useful to make them feel at ease. Exercise 1: c a dExercise 2: 1. At Carols house on Saturday 2.
