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.Part C Exercise:How to Improve Listening Comprehension Among the four skills of listening , speaking, reading and writing, I find listening most difficult, because I worry about the words I dont know. Now I am trying to focus on the general idea, not worrying about he new words. This makes me feel good, because I know I have understood something. Then, I listen again carefully and if I have any problems I play the difficult part again. In this way I come to understand better both the main idea and the details of the listening text.Unit 2Part ACommunicative Function1. closing 2. opening 3. closing 4. opening 5. opening 6. opening Listening Strategy1. a 2. b 3. b 4. a 5. b 6. a 7. b 8. a 9. b 10. bPart BText Exercise 1:1. 1) b 2) c 3) a2. d Exercise 2:1. a. age b. money c. peoples appearance 2. a. .say that again?

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.Part CSmile 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 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?)!Unit 3 Part ACommunicative Function Maggie likes swimming but she does not care for skiing.

Reading. remain current 4. revise and update What College Professors DoCollege professors are often believed to lead easy lives of quiet thinking while teaching one or two classes every week. 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.Unit 4 Part ACommunicative Function1.

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.Part C Exercise: 1. F 2.T 3.

Defective GoodsThe other day, Mrs. White bought some bed linen at a small store near her home. The store had a good reputation, and Mrs. White had often shopped there before. But when she got home and examined the sheets, Mrs. White was shocked. One of them had a big hole in the middle, and another was badly stained. And two others were frayed at the edges.As you can imagine, Mrs. White was very angry and she went back immediately to complain. When she arrived, the store was closed and the two other angry ladies were waiting outside. One of them told Mrs. White that she had bought some towels that morning, and the other lady said that she had purchased a linen tablecloth. In both cases the goods were defective. A little later some other women joined them, and they all told the same story. Finally the storekeeper appeared and let them in. The poor man looked very worried. He became very nervous when the ladies threatened to call the police, but he denied trying to cheat them. Then he explained what had happened. In his absence, the driver of a delivery truck had mistaken his shop for a secondhand goods store and had delivered a load of used material from a nearby hotel. The sales clerk had not bothered to check the delivery and had started selling the defective goods right away. The storekeeper apologized for the mistake and promised to exchange the ladies purchases and to refund half the price. Needless to say he fired the careless assistant.Unit 7 Part ACommunicative Function1.O, 2.O 3.F
