Dear Li Hua,
I’m so glad to hear from you. In your letter, you asked me to explain the differences between British English and American English. They are different in many ways. The most obvious part is the vocabulary. Sometimes different words are used to refer to the same thing. For example, in America, people use “automobile”, “freeway” and “gas” while in Britain people use “car”, “motorway” and “petrol”.
There are a few differences in grammar, too. The other two areas in which the two varieties differ are spelling and pronunciation. American spelling seems simpler. The words “centre”, “colour” and “programme” in British English are spelt as “center”, “color” and “program” in American English.
These are the main differences between British English and American English. I hope my information is useful to you.
Hope everything goes well.
Yours truly,
Danny

W: Oh, my goodness! The room isn’t neat at all, and the window is broken!
M: Someone must have broken into our house through the window.
W: Look, all my jewelry boxes are empty. What should we do?

W: Hi, Tom. Long time no see.
M: Hi. When did you return to school?
W: Yesterday. Did you have a nice holiday?
M: Yes, it can’t be better. Thank you.
W: Where did you go during the holidays?
M: I went to Scotland. W: Did you go there alone?
M: No. I went there with my parents. We traveled around in Scotland. We spent a week in Edinburgh; then we went to St Andrews.
W: It’s said that Highlands is a very good place to see. Did you go up there?
M: No. We stayed at a hotel near Loch Lomond for a few days and came back to London down the west coast.
W: How was the weather when you were there?
M: Quite good, and everybody is very kind. People are in quite such a hurry there, you know.
W: You must have enjoyed your holidays.
M: Sure.

M: May I ask for leave tomorrow, Mrs White?
W: You’ve already missed far too many lessons this term.
M: Yes, I know I have. I’m very sorry. You see I have these terrible headaches and...
W: Headaches? Only last week you said you had trouble with your stomach.
M: Well... I have headaches and trouble with my stomach, you see. That’s why I’ve been away so often.
W: And you often come to school late as well. Yesterday, for example, you...
M: Yes, I’m very sorry about that. You see, my alarm clock didn’t go off and...
W: Your alarm clock? But you told me yesterday that the bus had broken down.
M: Oh, did I? Well... I suppose I just forgot to say that my alarm clock hadn’t gone off, either.
W: It’s a very complicated story, if you could forgive me saying so. Tell me again now why you want off tomorrow.

M: This is Officer Belford. You reported a break—in just now?
W: Yes, I did.
M: I need a little more information about it.
W: Just the facts.

W: It must be sometime between 12:00 and 1:30 because I was home until 12:00 and I just came back at 1:30.
M: What did they get?
W: Well, I know now they are some jewellery and the television.
M: OK. Good, you are making a list. By the way, did you have your belongings marked?
W: My husband put his name on the TV.
M: By the way, where is your husband?
W: He’s on a trip to Canada. And I haven’t told him about it.
M: I see. Where did you put your jewellery?
W: I put it in the fridge. But all my good jewellery is in the safe box in the bank.
M: OK, I’ll be in touch with you as soon as we have found any track about them.

M: Lisa, tomorrow is your mom’s fiftieth birthday. Remember?
W: Sure. How shall we celebrate it, dad?
M: First of all, a birthday present. What about buying her a beautiful skirt? W: Good idea. It would make her look younger. And a big birthday cake, too, with fifty candles.
M: That’s right. Shall we have a special dinner?
W: How about a Chinese dinner?
M: Fine. Where should we have it?
W: We can have it at home. I’ve learned to cook a few dishes from some Chinese friends. I’m sure mom would like them.
M: All right. Are you going to do the shopping as well?
W: OK, let’s go together this afternoon.
M: Nice.

Well, a mixed picture over the next few days. Today in Britain, it is very wet and windy. You can see from the satellite picture that the highest temperatures, as they so often are, are in the southern parts of Europe, where it’s also quite dry. It’s going to be quite cold over northwestern parts of Europe. It will be rainy but in the south there will be the best of the sunshine. And pretty good but cool in the eastern parts of Europe, too.
Now let’s look at tomorrow’s weather. It will be very much the same in the south except that the rain is starting to push up into the northern parts. It will stay fine in eastern Europe, but still...

Dear Sir or Madam,
I’m writing in response to your advertisement for a temporary position as a shop assistant. My interest in selling goods contributes to my qualification for this job. Now let me introduce myself first.
I’m a 16—year—old student and will be able to work during the summer holiday. I don’t have any experience but I’m interested in this career. I’m fluent in both Putonghua and spoken English. Besides, I’m good at the computer. What’s more, I am energetic and hard—working. I am outgoing and I can get along well with others.
I would be very grateful if you give my application strong consideration and offer me an opportunity of a personal interview at your convenience.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ping

W: I can’t believe Karen is late for such an important job interview. I reminded her time and time again yesterday.

W: It’s been really nice seeing each other again.
M: Yes, it is. I’m glad we had a chance to talk.
W: So am I. You know, I think I should be going now. I’ve got to pick up my daughter at the day—care center.
M: Well, let’s keep in touch.

W: Look at young people nowadays. They have everything. They are completely different from what we were when we were young.
M: You’re right. Too much money. That’s the trouble. They can afford to buy anything they want.
W: You know my grandson? He went shopping in a department store near our flat, and came back with thirteen T—shirts! He only wears them once or twice, and then throws them away. It’s a terrible waste of money.
M: But young people don’t understand the real value of money, do they? They have too much of it. When I was young, we didn’t buy special shoes to match our trousers. We were just grateful to have any clothes!
W: You’re right. But it’s not worth arguing with them. They don’t understand.

M: Hi, Laura, have you made any new year’s plan?
W: Just the usual. I’d like to do more weight reducing exercise, and I want to save some money.
M: Come on! Everybody makes those plans!
W: I know, Tiger. Well, I hope I’ll get a good job before I graduate this summer, but that’s not a plan. I’m going to work harder. How about you?
M: I managed to give up smoking last July. That was last year’s promise to myself.
W: So what do you want to do this year?
M: I want to get rid of my extra fat, so I’d like to join a health club.
W: Just what I want to do.
M: Well, what about Jerry, do you know?
W: He told me he’d like to treat himself to a really nice vacation.
M: Oh? Where did he think he would go?
W: He might go to a quiet beach in New Zealand, or go fishing in Australia. He hadn’t made up his mind yet. Text 8
W: Where do you want to go on vacation this summer?
M: You are kidding! Mum and Dad always decide where we are going.
W: I know, but they always ask us where we want to go, and we always say that we don’t care or something like that.
M: That is because we never believe that they would go where we want to go.
W: Well, let’s make a plan. We can try to talk them into it.
M: It’s worth a try.
W: Then, where do you want to go?
M: I’d like to go to China. I’d like to see the Forbidden City, the greatest palace in the world.
W: It’s a good idea. I’d like to go to China, too.
M: I know. China has a long history. There are many interesting cities.
W: It’s a mysterious country.

W: Can I help you?
M: Yes, I’m looking for a flat.
W: To buy or to rent?
M: Oh, to rent.
W: How much do you want to pay?
M: About two hundred a month.
W: Well, I’ve got one here in Sydney Road. It’s two hundred and fifty a month.
M: How big is it?
W: It has a kitchen, a bathroom and one bedroom.
M: Well, actually, I’d prefer something a bit bigger if that’s possible.
W: Yes, I think so. Here’s an interesting one. It’s opposite the park.
M: How much is it?
W: It’s three hundred a month. It’s the biggest flat we’ve got in this area.
M: What’s it like?
W: Well, there are two bedrooms, a sitting room, a kitchen and a bathroom.
M: It sounds very interesting. Can I go and see it?
W: Of course, sir. Can I have your name and address?

M: Good morning, team. I’m happy to see all of you here this Saturday. As part of your training for the spring track and field events, we will spend all the time today on the relay. In a relay race, each member of a team of four runners runs a certain distance before being replaced by another team member. Usually a team begins with the second fastest runner, then the slowest, then the third fastest. The fastest runner is the last. In a relay race the runners carry it back on, which is passed from one team member to the next. The runner stands to the left of the track in a start position, head turned to look at the oncoming runner. When the oncoming runner reaches a certain mark, the waiting runner begins to run. They both run the course for a moment before the baton is passed. The exchange must be made within twenty meters or the team will be taken out of the race. There are four methods of exchange, which I’ll show you. Module 3

The Value of Reading Books
People often say that gold and silver are very valuable things in the world. In my opinion, books are more valuable than anything else.
Books are our friends. They introduce us different kinds of knowledge. And if we feel lonely or unhappy, we always can find comfort in them.
Books are our teachers. They teach us truth, science, literature, and philosophy of life. Besides, they increase our knowledge, enlarge our experience, strengthen our character and do many other things which we can not do without them.
Books tell us what is right and what is wrong. And only books can clearly tell the good from the bad.
Therefore to read more books is the best policy for our young students.

W: Oh, where did he live before?
M: I’m not quite sure. Was it Sydney?
W: Oh...Is he Australian?
M: Oh, yes. I think so. Haven’t you noticed his accent?
W: Well yes. At first I thought he sounded like an American.
M: Well, he did spend some time in America. He was talking about it the other day.
W: Oh, well, that explains it.
M: Maybe that’s where he met his wife.
W: In America? Perhaps he did.

Now back to the news. Last Friday a storm hit two villages destroying fourteen houses. Seven others were so badly damaged that their owners had to leave them, and fifteen others had broken windows. One person was killed, and nine were badly injured and taken to hospital. A number of other people received small injuries. Altogether over two hundred villagers were left homeless as a result of the storm. A farmer said the storm began early in the morning and lasted more than an hour. He was in the kitchen with his wife and children when they heard a loud noise. A few minutes later their house fell down on top of them. They managed to climb out but then he saw that one of his children was missing. He went back inside and found him safe but very frightened. A woman said that her husband had just left for work when she noticed that her house was shaking. She rushed outside immediately with her children. There was no time for her to take anything out. A few minutes later, the roof came down. But fortunately, soldiers have already gone to the area to help the people in trouble. Module 1—3 综合检测题

Film or Book, Which Do You Prefer?
Nowadays many literary works are rearranged into films.Some of us think that it is better to see the film than to read the book in the original. The reason is that it takes less time to understand the whole story. Besides, the film is usually more interesting, and it is easier to follow.
Some others have just the opposite opinion. They think that they can get more detailed information from the original work. Meanwhile, the language in the book is possibly more lively and beautiful.
Personally, I agree with the second view. Actually I have more reasons for it. I think I can stay at home, reading quietly in a situation of my own, and what’s more, I am able to understand the author’s ideas better. In a word, to read the original work is better than to see the film based on it.

OK, everyone. May I please have your attention? I’m Bill Smith, the director of the school play for this year. It’s a great pleasure to have you as assistants to help organize the play. I’m sending around a form for you to put down some information on how we can get in touch with you, so please put your names and phone numbers down. Also please write down the performances that you will be able to help with. I realize that everybody can’t come to each performance, but the more you attend, the better. However, you should also keep in mind that we will need much time, and we may end up staying quite late into the evening.
If you have any special skills, it would be good for you to write those down on the paper as well. In particular, we need two lighting and sound people. We have hired one fulltime lighting man, but one person can’t do everything. We need several people to help out setting up the lights.
Once you have any special skills mentioned above, you might have to offer. Please return the form to me. At our next meeting on Tuesday, we’ll begin talking about all the different jobs. While you’re waiting for the sheet to get passed around, I’ll be happy to answer any questions that you have today.

Hello, dear friends. I feel very glad to introduce a Chinese traditional festival—the Spring Festival to you.
It’s a time for the family reunion. All the family members try to come back to get together with their families. Usually there’ll be a big dinner on the New Year’s Eve. Everybody will be happy to eat, drink and have a wonderful time together.
On New Year’s Day, people will get up early, visit and give their best wishes to their relatives and friends, make phone calls or just send short messages. Children are always the happiest because they can usually get some money as a gift.
I do hope you can have an opportunity to celebrate the Spring Festival in China. That’s all. Thank you!

M: Cathy, playing tennis seems very interesting.
W: Would you like to learn?
M: Yes. How do you play?

M: How do you count the score?
W: At the beginning, the score is Love Love.
M: Love means “0”?
W: You got it. It then counts to 15, 30 and 40. If you got to 40 and win again, you win the game.

M: Is that so serious? Don’t be so disappointed; at least you have my friendship. W: Well, except you.
M: I heard that you and Lucy had a quarrel yesterday.
W: You mean that spoiled rich kid?
M: Actually she is kind—hearted, too. Could you tell me why you quarrelled?
W: Just over a small thing. Well, I thought she was just a rich princess. But it seems that we have a lot in common.
M: I’m glad you’ve realized that at last. You don’t really hate each other, so why don’t you make up?
W: You mean I will be the first one? No, that’s the last thing I want to do.
M: Come on, you can do it.
W: Well, not now, maybe later.
M: OK. It doesn’t matter as long as you do it.
W: Thank you. You help me a lot.

W: Good morning. What can I do for you?
M: Good morning. I was wondering if you could help me. I received this notice yesterday afternoon.
W: Let me see. Yes, it’s $10 for a lost book.
M: But I didn’t lose that book. I am quite sure I have returned it.
W: Let me check. Just a minute, please. Our records show that you checked it out on September 17 and we have no record of its having been returned.
M: I’m sure I’ve returned it. I remember that it was a rainy day and I had to carry it in a plastic bag.
W: Well, our policy is that, when a book is lost, the one who borrows it must pay for it. We have to be fair about these things.
M: I understand your position. Is there a way we can check to see if the book is here, just in case someone missed it?
W: Well, I doubt that we would make any mistakes about this. But you can look on the shelf.
(Pause for two seconds)
M: Aha! Here it is.
W: Let me see if it is the same copy you borrowed. I’ll check the number on it with our records.
M: I’m very sorry to bother you with this.
W: It doesn’t matter. Well, it is the same copy.
M: Good!
W: Sorry. We could have missed something. I am really sorry.
M: Don’t worry about that.

Tokyo, the capital of Japan, is one of the largest cities in the world. It is one of the world’s most modern cities. Twice in this century, the city was destroyed and rebuilt. In 1923 a major earthquake struck the city. Thousands of people were killed and millions were left homeless as buildings fell down and fires broke out throughout Tokyo. It took seven years to rebuild the city. During World WarⅡ, Tokyo was destroyed once again. As a result of these disasters there was nothing of old Tokyo remaining in the downtown area.
After the war, the people of Tokyo began to rebuild their city. Buildings went up at an amazing speed between 1945 and 1960, and the city’s population more than doubled. Because of the Olympic Games held in Tokyo in 1964, many new houses, parks and hotels were built to welcome visitors from all over the world. As a result of this rapid development, however, many problems have arisen. Housing shortage, pollution and how to deal with waste have presented serious problems to the city. Module 5

One possible version:
In recent years, the topic whether it is fair for athletes who carry off prizes in Olympic Games to get high salaries has caused more and more discussion.
Those who support it think that athletes have won a great reputation for our country in Olympic Games. What’s more, athletes must experience painstaking physical and psychological training. Besides, they offer a lot of encouragement to young people to take part in physical activities.
However, some people are against it. They consider that athletes do nothing to put the national economy forward directly. Therefore they should not receive so much money.

W: Actually, I was born in a very small village in America in 1930. I lived in Britain now after five years’ stay in Canada.
M: We know, you studied at different art schools. Can you tell us something about when you were young?
W: En, I liked writing, and I always wanted to be a writer. As a student I had written many articles on our school newspaper.
M: What books of yours have come out?
W: My first was called My Father, when I was 29. Some of my favorite books were My Heart, and more recently, Nature.
M: Mrs Smith, thank you for this interesting talk. We hope to see more of your books.

W: You weren’t at the Chinese class last night, Tom! Why did that happen again? Have you given up?
M: Well, no... I’d been writing reports all day long and was too tired to go out again and... En, so I gave the lesson a miss.
W: You’ve missed quite a lot of the lessons lately, haven’t you? Are you losing interest?
M: Yes, I’m afraid so. I have no gift for language. People are just laughing at me when I try to speak Chinese. How did you and Jane pick it up so quickly and easily?
W: It was neither quick nor easy. We’d both studied the language before we came, and we only needed to go over it.
M: Anyway, all our friends here speak English very well, so we don’t really need to learn Chinese.

One of my most interesting experiences was swimming in the Great Salt Lake. The surprising fact is that, although the lake is far from any ocean, and although it gets its water from rivers which have so little salt that they actually taste sweet, the lake is about six times as salty as the ocean. For a while I floated around, but soon I wanted to stand. Then, I was surprised. I couldn’t stand on the ground! The salty water was very heavy and it was holding me up. After swimming for a few minutes, I made my next mistake. I opened my eyes under the water. I expected that I would feel a little pain when the water got into my eyes, but I was not prepared to have that kind of terrible pain. It was so painful that I couldn’t keep my eyes open. Of course, that was my last time I tried to swim in the Great Salt Lake. After that experience, I understand why there are no fish in the Great Salt Lake. Fish can’t open their eyes. Module 6

Recently, our class have had a heated discussion about whether the zoo should be moved out of the city.
Some of my classmates are in favor of the move. They say large crowds of tourists to the zoo will result in traffic jams. They also say that once moved, animals will have more space and better living conditions in the suburbs.
However, other students are against the idea, saying that the zoo has a history of 100 years, and is well—known at home and abroad. So it should remain where it is. What’s more, moving may cause the death of some animals.

M: Oh, what does it say?

W: Yeah. And listen to this. In 1963 he was in a really bad car accident. He started singing after that. Guess where?
M: I’ve no idea.
W: He started singing in the hospital.
M: In the hospital? That’s interesting.
W: Yes. He learned to sing from another patient, who was a music teacher...and he learned to sing not only in German, but also in English and Italian.
M: Hmm...so, when did he first become famous?
W: Uh...in 1968, when he was 25, a first prize for his song “We Are Young”. He sang that in German.
M: Do you mean the song he sang on TV last night?
W: That’s right. And a couple of years later, that song became really popular in Europe. And after that he became famous all over the world, especially in Europe and South America.
M: Then he must have sold many records.
W: Yes. Do you know that he had sold over a hundred million copies by 1980?

The problem is with my grandmother, who is now well over 70 and very weak, and she really needs my help as my parents are both doing their research abroad. But in the countryside, where my grandma lives, there’s no job suitable for me. I’m a hotel manager and she can’t come and live with me because she says she doesn’t like the noise in the city. And if I go and work there as something else, perhaps as a secretary, it means I have to change my specialty. So maybe I should suggest that she stay in an old people’s house. But I really don’t expect she would accept this idea. She’s been living in the cottage for almost 50 years. It’s old but comfortable, surrounded by trees and a beautiful river. It would be too difficult for her to leave the place. Compared with city life, living in the countryside is much more pleasant and cheaper. Module 1—6 综合检测题

Secondly, we are able to better ourselves by helping others because we can get valuable experience and build up our confidence while serving others. What’s more, volunteering makes us feel better about ourselves, making our life more enjoyable. More importantly, we can make the world a better place to live in by volunteering to improve it.

Dear Li Hua,
I’m so glad to hear from you. In your letter, you asked me to explain the differences between British English and American English. They are different in many ways. The most obvious part is the vocabulary. Sometimes different words are used to refer to the same thing. For example, in America, people use “automobile”, “freeway” and “gas” while in Britain people use “car”, “motorway” and “petrol”.
There are a few differences in grammar, too. The other two areas in which the two varieties differ are spelling and pronunciation. American spelling seems simpler. The words “centre”, “colour” and “programme” in British English are spelt as “center”, “color” and “program” in American English.
These are the main differences between British English and American English. I hope my information is useful to you.
Hope everything goes well.
Yours truly,
Danny

Well, a mixed picture over the next few days. Today in Britain, it is very wet and windy. You can see from the satellite picture that the highest temperatures, as they so often are, are in the southern parts of Europe, where it’s also quite dry. It’s going to be quite cold over northwestern parts of Europe. It will be rainy but in the south there will be the best of the sunshine. And pretty good but cool in the eastern parts of Europe, too.
Now let’s look at tomorrow’s weather. It will be very much the same in the south except that the rain is starting to push up into the northern parts. It will stay fine in eastern Europe, but still...

W: You know my grandson? He went shopping in a department store near our flat, and came back with thirteen T—shirts! He only wears them once or twice, and then throws them away. It’s a terrible waste of money.
M: But young people don’t understand the real value of money, do they? They have too much of it. When I was young, we didn’t buy special shoes to match our trousers. We were just grateful to have any clothes!
W: You’re right. But it’s not worth arguing with them. They don’t understand.

M: Hi, Laura, have you made any new year’s plan?
W: Just the usual. I’d like to do more weight reducing exercise, and I want to save some money.
M: Come on! Everybody makes those plans!
W: I know, Tiger. Well, I hope I’ll get a good job before I graduate this summer, but that’s not a plan. I’m going to work harder. How about you?
M: I managed to give up smoking last July. That was last year’s promise to myself.
W: So what do you want to do this year?
M: I want to get rid of my extra fat, so I’d like to join a health club.
W: Just what I want to do.
M: Well, what about Jerry, do you know?
W: He told me he’d like to treat himself to a really nice vacation.
M: Oh? Where did he think he would go?
W: He might go to a quiet beach in New Zealand, or go fishing in Australia. He hadn’t made up his mind yet. Text 8
W: Where do you want to go on vacation this summer?
M: You are kidding! Mum and Dad always decide where we are going.
W: I know, but they always ask us where we want to go, and we always say that we don’t care or something like that.
M: That is because we never believe that they would go where we want to go.
W: Well, let’s make a plan. We can try to talk them into it.
M: It’s worth a try.
W: Then, where do you want to go?
M: I’d like to go to China. I’d like to see the Forbidden City, the greatest palace in the world.
W: It’s a good idea. I’d like to go to China, too.
M: I know. China has a long history. There are many interesting cities.
W: It’s a mysterious country.

W: Can I help you?
M: Yes, I’m looking for a flat.

W: Well, I’ve got one here in Sydney Road. It’s two hundred and fifty a month.
M: How big is it?
W: It has a kitchen, a bathroom and one bedroom.
M: Well, actually, I’d prefer something a bit bigger if that’s possible.
W: Yes, I think so. Here’s an interesting one. It’s opposite the park.
M: How much is it?
W: It’s three hundred a month. It’s the biggest flat we’ve got in this area.
M: What’s it like?
W: Well, there are two bedrooms, a sitting room, a kitchen and a bathroom.
M: It sounds very interesting. Can I go and see it?
W: Of course, sir. Can I have your name and address?

M: Good morning, team. I’m happy to see all of you here this Saturday. As part of your training for the spring track and field events, we will spend all the time today on the relay. In a relay race, each member of a team of four runners runs a certain distance before being replaced by another team member. Usually a team begins with the second fastest runner, then the slowest, then the third fastest. The fastest runner is the last. In a relay race the runners carry it back on, which is passed from one team member to the next. The runner stands to the left of the track in a start position, head turned to look at the oncoming runner. When the oncoming runner reaches a certain mark, the waiting runner begins to run. They both run the course for a moment before the baton is passed. The exchange must be made within twenty meters or the team will be taken out of the race. There are four methods of exchange, which I’ll show you. Module 3

The Value of Reading Books
People often say that gold and silver are very valuable things in the world. In my opinion, books are more valuable than anything else.
Books are our friends. They introduce us different kinds of knowledge. And if we feel lonely or unhappy, we always can find comfort in them.
Books are our teachers. They teach us truth, science, literature, and philosophy of life. Besides, they increase our knowledge, enlarge our experience, strengthen our character and do many other things which we can not do without them.
Books tell us what is right and what is wrong. And only books can clearly tell the good from the bad.
Therefore to read more books is the best policy for our young students.

Now back to the news. Last Friday a storm hit two villages destroying fourteen houses. Seven others were so badly damaged that their owners had to leave them, and fifteen others had broken windows. One person was killed, and nine were badly injured and taken to hospital. A number of other people received small injuries. Altogether over two hundred villagers were left homeless as a result of the storm. A farmer said the storm began early in the morning and lasted more than an hour. He was in the kitchen with his wife and children when they heard a loud noise. A few minutes later their house fell down on top of them. They managed to climb out but then he saw that one of his children was missing. He went back inside and found him safe but very frightened. A woman said that her husband had just left for work when she noticed that her house was shaking. She rushed outside immediately with her children. There was no time for her to take anything out. A few minutes later, the roof came down. But fortunately, soldiers have already gone to the area to help the people in trouble. Module 1—3 综合检测题

Film or Book, Which Do You Prefer?
Nowadays many literary works are rearranged into films.Some of us think that it is better to see the film than to read the book in the original. The reason is that it takes less time to understand the whole story. Besides, the film is usually more interesting, and it is easier to follow.
Some others have just the opposite opinion. They think that they can get more detailed information from the original work. Meanwhile, the language in the book is possibly more lively and beautiful.
Personally, I agree with the second view. Actually I have more reasons for it. I think I can stay at home, reading quietly in a situation of my own, and what’s more, I am able to understand the author’s ideas better. In a word, to read the original work is better than to see the film based on it.

OK, everyone. May I please have your attention? I’m Bill Smith, the director of the school play for this year. It’s a great pleasure to have you as assistants to help organize the play. I’m sending around a form for you to put down some information on how we can get in touch with you, so please put your names and phone numbers down. Also please write down the performances that you will be able to help with. I realize that everybody can’t come to each performance, but the more you attend, the better. However, you should also keep in mind that we will need much time, and we may end up staying quite late into the evening.
If you have any special skills, it would be good for you to write those down on the paper as well. In particular, we need two lighting and sound people. We have hired one fulltime lighting man, but one person can’t do everything. We need several people to help out setting up the lights.
Once you have any special skills mentioned above, you might have to offer. Please return the form to me. At our next meeting on Tuesday, we’ll begin talking about all the different jobs. While you’re waiting for the sheet to get passed around, I’ll be happy to answer any questions that you have today.

Hello, dear friends. I feel very glad to introduce a Chinese traditional festival—the Spring Festival to you.
It’s a time for the family reunion. All the family members try to come back to get together with their families. Usually there’ll be a big dinner on the New Year’s Eve. Everybody will be happy to eat, drink and have a wonderful time together.
On New Year’s Day, people will get up early, visit and give their best wishes to their relatives and friends, make phone calls or just send short messages. Children are always the happiest because they can usually get some money as a gift.
I do hope you can have an opportunity to celebrate the Spring Festival in China. That’s all. Thank you!

W: Let me check. Just a minute, please. Our records show that you checked it out on September 17 and we have no record of its having been returned.
M: I’m sure I’ve returned it. I remember that it was a rainy day and I had to carry it in a plastic bag.
W: Well, our policy is that, when a book is lost, the one who borrows it must pay for it. We have to be fair about these things.
M: I understand your position. Is there a way we can check to see if the book is here, just in case someone missed it?
W: Well, I doubt that we would make any mistakes about this. But you can look on the shelf.
(Pause for two seconds)
M: Aha! Here it is.
W: Let me see if it is the same copy you borrowed. I’ll check the number on it with our records.
M: I’m very sorry to bother you with this.

W: Sorry. We could have missed something. I am really sorry.

Tokyo, the capital of Japan, is one of the largest cities in the world. It is one of the world’s most modern cities. Twice in this century, the city was destroyed and rebuilt. In 1923 a major earthquake struck the city. Thousands of people were killed and millions were left homeless as buildings fell down and fires broke out throughout Tokyo. It took seven years to rebuild the city. During World WarⅡ, Tokyo was destroyed once again. As a result of these disasters there was nothing of old Tokyo remaining in the downtown area.
After the war, the people of Tokyo began to rebuild their city. Buildings went up at an amazing speed between 1945 and 1960, and the city’s population more than doubled. Because of the Olympic Games held in Tokyo in 1964, many new houses, parks and hotels were built to welcome visitors from all over the world. As a result of this rapid development, however, many problems have arisen. Housing shortage, pollution and how to deal with waste have presented serious problems to the city. Module 5

In recent years, the topic whether it is fair for athletes who carry off prizes in Olympic Games to get high salaries has caused more and more discussion.
Those who support it think that athletes have won a great reputation for our country in Olympic Games. What’s more, athletes must experience painstaking physical and psychological training. Besides, they offer a lot of encouragement to young people to take part in physical activities.
However, some people are against it. They consider that athletes do nothing to put the national economy forward directly. Therefore they should not receive so much money.

W: You’ve missed quite a lot of the lessons lately, haven’t you? Are you losing interest?
M: Yes, I’m afraid so. I have no gift for language. People are just laughing at me when I try to speak Chinese. How did you and Jane pick it up so quickly and easily?
W: It was neither quick nor easy. We’d both studied the language before we came, and we only needed to go over it.
M: Anyway, all our friends here speak English very well, so we don’t really need to learn Chinese.

One of my most interesting experiences was swimming in the Great Salt Lake. The surprising fact is that, although the lake is far from any ocean, and although it gets its water from rivers which have so little salt that they actually taste sweet, the lake is about six times as salty as the ocean. For a while I floated around, but soon I wanted to stand. Then, I was surprised. I couldn’t stand on the ground! The salty water was very heavy and it was holding me up. After swimming for a few minutes, I made my next mistake. I opened my eyes under the water. I expected that I would feel a little pain when the water got into my eyes, but I was not prepared to have that kind of terrible pain. It was so painful that I couldn’t keep my eyes open. Of course, that was my last time I tried to swim in the Great Salt Lake. After that experience, I understand why there are no fish in the Great Salt Lake. Fish can’t open their eyes. Module 6

One possible version:
Recently, our class have had a heated discussion about whether the zoo should be moved out of the city.
Some of my classmates are in favor of the move. They say large crowds of tourists to the zoo will result in traffic jams. They also say that once moved, animals will have more space and better living conditions in the suburbs.
However, other students are against the idea, saying that the zoo has a history of 100 years, and is well—known at home and abroad. So it should remain where it is. What’s more, moving may cause the death of some animals.

M: Well, I was feeling great on Saturday, but I started to feel sick on Sunday afternoon. W: Do you feel better now?

W: Well, what seems to be the problem?

W: Oh, poor Steve!

W: Hey, this magazine has an interesting article about that singer we saw on TV last night.
M: Oh, what does it say?
W: Well, he was born in a very poor family in Germany in 1943.
M: 1943 huh?...
W: Yeah. And listen to this. In 1963 he was in a really bad car accident. He started singing after that. Guess where?
M: I’ve no idea.
W: He started singing in the hospital.
M: In the hospital? That’s interesting.
W: Yes. He learned to sing from another patient, who was a music teacher...and he learned to sing not only in German, but also in English and Italian.
M: Hmm...so, when did he first become famous?
W: Uh...in 1968, when he was 25, a first prize for his song “We Are Young”. He sang that in German.
M: Do you mean the song he sang on TV last night?
W: That’s right. And a couple of years later, that song became really popular in Europe. And after that he became famous all over the world, especially in Europe and South America.
M: Then he must have sold many records.
W: Yes. Do you know that he had sold over a hundred million copies by 1980?
M: Wow. What’s his most famous song in English?
W: Let me see...oh, it’s “To All My Friends”.

W: I’m leaving England tomorrow. How time flies!
M: Really?
W: Yes. I’ve come to say good—bye to you. Thank you for your help.
M: But why? What are you going to do?
W: I’m going to Africa. I’ve got a job as a doctor with a medical team. They want me to go to Nigeria.
M: What? You’re joking!
W: Look, I didn’t tell you because nothing was certain. But I got a letter this morning. I’m going to miss you very much and I don’t want to end our friendship. But I do want to see the world.
M: It’s a pity we have to part. I wish you good luck!
W: The same to you. Good—bye.

The problem is with my grandmother, who is now well over 70 and very weak, and she really needs my help as my parents are both doing their research abroad. But in the countryside, where my grandma lives, there’s no job suitable for me. I’m a hotel manager and she can’t come and live with me because she says she doesn’t like the noise in the city. And if I go and work there as something else, perhaps as a secretary, it means I have to change my specialty. So maybe I should suggest that she stay in an old people’s house. But I really don’t expect she would accept this idea. She’s been living in the cottage for almost 50 years. It’s old but comfortable, surrounded by trees and a beautiful river. It would be too difficult for her to leave the place. Compared with city life, living in the countryside is much more pleasant and cheaper. Module 1—6 综合检测题

One possible version:
I would like to be a volunteer in my spare time and do whatever I can to help all people in trouble.
My reasons are as follows: First of all, it is a good virtue to help others. We all need others’ help in case we get into trouble. Secondly, we are able to better ourselves by helping others because we can get valuable experience and build up our confidence while serving others. What’s more, volunteering makes us feel better about ourselves, making our life more enjoyable. More importantly, we can make the world a better place to live in by volunteering to improve it.

W: These books are not returned on time. I’m sorry, but you’ll have to pay a fine.
M: How much is it?
W: Just a second, please. Let me check. It comes to $2 altogether.

M: I hope you won’t mind a little friendly advice.
W: Not at all. They say a true friend is the one who tells you the truth about yourself.
M: Well, I’ve noticed that you haven’t been looking so well lately. I’d like to introduce you to a good doctor.
Text 5
W: Can you be at home by six?
M: Normally I could, but the thing is I have a doctor’s appointment at 4:30, so that would be pushing it. W: How about 6:30 then? We’ll have some friends at seven.
Text 6
M: How many hours a week do you work in the States?
W: Normally, forty hours a week from Monday through Friday. But working hours are different according to the company.
M: What if you work more than forty hours a week? Do you get paid?
W: Certainly. Most workers get paid by the hour and if you work more than forty hours or on weekends you get paid overtime.
M: That sounds a pretty fair system.
W: Except if you’re in a high position. Most company high officials can’t receive overtime pay.

W: Where on earth are we?
M: Judging by all the traffic, I’d say we’re near the heart of the downtown area.
W: Did I take a wrong turn?
M: I’m not sure, but I think that you turned left when you should have turned right.
W: Well, now the problem is how to get back onto the main highway.
M: Well, if I may offer a suggestion... Why don’t you stop and ask a policeman?
W: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think I see one up there in the next block. Hey, how about that?
M: What? What happened?
W: Did you see what that guy did?
M: No. I was looking at the other way.
W: He made a U—turn right in the middle of the block and almost hit a kid on a bicycle.
M: Drivers get crazier every day!

M: Morning! Did you see the movie on Channel 6 last night?
W: No, I missed it. I went shopping for clothes.
M: It was an excellent film. What a pity you couldn’t see Star Wars. If I were one of the judges, I’d pick it as the best film of the year. I haven’t seen such a wonderful story and such excellent acting for a long time!
W: I read the preview in yesterday’s newspaper and hoped to watch it last night, but, then, Meg called me to go shopping with her. So I went. By the way, what sort of films does you like best?
M: Horror films and thrillers and science fiction. That’s why I have seen Star Wars several times. How about you?
W: Historical films and comedies. I’ve seen lots of Laurel and Hardy films. There, there..., we said too much. Here is the bell.

W: I miss my parents. I wish we could see them.
M: Well, if they lived closer, we would see them more often.
W: If we owned a bigger house, they could live with us.
M: You know they would never do that. They would feel that they were bringing trouble to us and destroying our peaceful life.
W: You’re right. But I wish I were with them now. Let’s go to visit them.
