Ms James: Welcome back, everyone! Now, because it‘s a new term, I‘m going to give

you some advice. Why don‘t you write it down? Ready?

All: Yes, Ms James.

Ms James: You should always speak English in class. And you should write down

your mistakes in your notebooks. And why don ‘t you write down the

correct spelling and grammar next to the mistakes? What else?

Lingling: It‘s a good idea to check your vocabulary notebook every day.

Ms James: That ‘s a good idea. Thanks a lot, Lingling. How about listening to the

radio or reading a newspaper in English? But try not to translate every

word.

Lingling: I think everyone should have a pen friend and write email messages to each

other. I‘m going to meet my pen friend in Beijing this term.

Ms James: Excellent!

Lingling: She plays in her school orchestra, and they‘re doing some concerts in China.

Ms James: Is she English?

Lingling: Yes, she is.

Daming: Good! She can help me with my homework.

Questions and answers

Send your questions to the Language Doctor, [email protected].

Many students ask for advice about improving their English. There are three basic

question.

The first question is about real English. Li Hao from Hubei wrote, ―I enjoy

watching English films and listening to real English songs. But it takes a long time.

What do you think?‖

This is a great way to learn English! Talk about the film or song with your friends,

and guess the meaning of the new words. Just enjoy yourself!

The second question is about speaking. Sam, from Suzhou wrote, ―Our school has a

foreign teacher. But I‘m shy and can‘t speak to her. What should I do?‖

When I visit China, lots of people in the street say, ―Hello! How are you? Where

are you from? Do you like China?‖ These are good questions to start a conversation.

Many people are shy when they speak English, so before you begin, take a deep

breath and smile! Smiling always helps.

The third question is about vocabulary. Oliver, from Anhui Province wrote, ―I

want to remember all the new words. I write them down, but I forget them quickly.

What should I do?‖

Try to remember eight or ten words a day. Write them on pieces of paper and

place them in your bedroom. Say the words when you see them, and change them

every day. And when you ‘re shopping, how about counting the English words, or

saying the English names for everything you see?

M2u1a3

Tony: So what‘s your pen friend‘s name, Lingling?

Lingling: Sally Maxwell, and she‘s from Park School in London.

Tony: Has she visited China before?

Lingling: No, she hasn‘t. But I sent her a DVD about China and she‘s watched it.

And she has enjoyed my messages about my life here in Beijing. So I

think she‘ll like it here.

Tony: What about you, Lingling? Have you ever wanted to travel around the world?

Lingling: Yes, I have. I‘ve always wanted to go to the USA and Europe. And Sally

has invited me to stay with her in England one day. The problem is the

price of the ticket.

Tony: Well, guess what! Have you looked at today ‘s newspaper? There ‘s a

competition. ―Take off from Beijing Capital Airport and land in London.

Write about a wonderful experience. The first prize is the holiday of your

dreams in England. ‖ What do you reckon? Have you ever entered a

competition?

Lingling: No, I haven‘t! It sounds brilliant!

M2u2a2

Have you ever had…a fantastic experience?

Wei Ming has been all over China by plane. Her father is an Air China captain, so

they fly to different place is Mount Tai. But I also like the beaches in Sanya.‖ Is there

anywhere she hasn‘t visited? ― I‘ve never been to Shanghai!‖

Han Li has been to San Francisco in the USA. His grandparents live there and he

visits them every Spring Festival. ―I like San Francisco very much because there‘s a

lot to see and do there. I‘m at home in Chinatown!‖ says Han Li.

Yi Wen has tried western food in a hotel in Nanjing. ―Have you ever had Italian

food? It ‘s delicious! Pizza has always been my favourite food. But I don ‘t like

sandwiches orice cream—they ‘re too cold!‖

Wang Ming has been to a Liu Huan concert in Beijing with more than 2,000 people.

―He ‘s given concerts all over China and the tickets have always sold out. He‘s written

many songs! He‘s the greatest Chinese musician … ever!‖ says Wang Ming.

He Meifeng went to a Beijing cinema to see The House of the Flying Daggers

because she‘s always like Zhang Ziyi. At the end she got up, and Zhang Ziyi was in

the seat beside her. ― I‘ve always wanted to meet her. It was my ‗dream come true‘! ‖

Write a short passage about your fantastic experience. The first prize is the holiday

of your dreams in England!

Daming: Hi, Tony. What are you up to?

Tony: Hi Daming, I ‘ve just made this model of the space station. What do you

think?

Daming: It‘s great. Is this for your space travel homework? I haven‘t started it yet.

Tony: Don‘t panic! Ms James wants it next week. Have you heard the latest news?

Some scientists have sent a spacecraft to Mars. It has taken several months to

get there.

Daming: Has it arrived yet?

Tony: Yes, it has. That‘s why it‘s on the news.

Daming: And have the astronauts discovered life on Mars?

Daming: No, not yet. There aren‘t any astronauts in the spacecraft.

Daming: But astronauts have already been to the moon.

Tony: Yes, but no one has been recently. But lots of astronauts have worked on the

space station. They take the space shuttle, and go there and back.

Daming: You know a lot about space travel. Can I show your space station to my

parents?

Tony: But I hear they‘ve gone to Shanghai on business.

Daming: Oh, they‘re coming back this evening. I‘d like to show it to them.

Tony: All right, you can borrow it. But bring it back tomorrow.

M3u2a2

1 Anyone out there? 2 Life on Earth 3 Our solar system 4 The stars at night

这一行有个下划线让填标题

Scientists think that there has been life on Earth for millions of years. However, we

haven ‘t found life on other planets yet. Why not?

The Earth is a planet and it goes around the Sun. Seven other planets also go

around the Sun. None of them has an environment with air, so people and things

cannot grow. The Sun and its planets are called the solar system. The solar system is a

small part of our galaxy.

The stars we see at night are the suns in other solar systems. There are more than

200 billion stars in our galaxy, called the Milky Way, and our Sun is only one of them.

But scientists have discovered many other galaxies in the universe. They are a

long way away and their light has travelled for many years to reach us. It is hard to

understand how large the universe is.

Scientists have sent lots of spacecraft to look at other planets in our solar system,

and some spacecraft have gone beyond the solar system. However, no one has

discovered any life in space yet.

But why has no one from other planets sent us a message? Have they tried to send

information to us? With so many stars in the universe, are we alone, or is there life out

there in space? We don‘t know … yet.

Betty: When does Sally arrive in Beijing?

Lingling: Next Month.

Betty: And how long have you known her?

Lingling: For two years.

Betty: But have you ever met her?

Lingling: No, I haven‘t. But I get on well with her. We like the same things.

Betty: Does she speak Chinese?

Lingling: Yes, a little. She‘s studied it for a year. She says it‘s very difficult.

Betty: Yes, it is! It‘s easier to learn a foreign language when you visit the country.

Lingling: How long have you lived here?

Betty: Since 2004.

Lingling: And how long have you studied Chinese?

Betty: For a year. What does Sally want to do here?

Lingling: Well, her school orchestra has some concerts, but she has heard about the

Hope Schools and she wants to visit a school in Gansu or Qingdao.

Betty ：What ‘s a Hope School?

Lingling: It‘s a school for poor children. In fact, since 1989 Project Hope has built

schools all over China.

Betty: Really? That sounds interesting. Tell me more.

M4u2a2

Hope for the future

Liu Sanzi is an eight-year-old boy from a village in Hunan Province. His parents

want him to drop out of school. It ‘s important for him to work on their farm

because there are seven people in Liu‘s family and they are very poor.

Li Yinming is 14 and from Zhangxian in Gansu Province. He stopped going to

school a few years ago. His parents have been ill and he has to look after them.

Many children like Li Yinming and LiuSanzi can ‘t get an education because

their families are poor. Now they can go to school with the help of Project Hope. In

the last 15 years, this project has raised money and paid for the education of 2.5

million poor students in the countryside. People in China and abroad have given

2.2 billion yuan. With this money, Project Hope has built many schools and

libraries. It has also trained teachers and it has sent students to high schools.

Last year Shen, a boy from Shanxi Province, went to a school with no electricity

and only a few books. But this year he‘s at a new school with big classrooms and

lots of books. Project Hope paid for it.

Most people in China have heard of Project Hope and have given money. But 40

million children from poor families still need help. Because of Project Hope,

thousands of children have better lives. Perhaps we should all ask: What can we do

for Project Hope? How can we help?

M5u1a3

Tony: I like this music! Who‘s it by?

Lingling: Well, I‘m not sure, but Sally‘s school orchestra is playing it.

Betty: It‘s by Strauss. You‘ve heard of him, haven‘t you?

Lingling: Yes, I have. He was German, wasn‘t he?

Betty: No, he wasn ‘t. He was Austrian. He was born in Vienna, the capital of

Austria.

Daming: What‘s it called?

Betty: The Blue Danube. The Danube is the river in Vienna.

Lingling: You like western classical music, don‘t you?

Betty: Yes, I do.

Lingling: Who‘s your favourite classical composer?

Betty: Beethoven. But I also like pop music. You listen to pop music, don‘t you?

Lingling: Yes, I love it!

Betty ：But Sally is a classical musician, so she doesn‘t like pop music, does she?

Lingling: No, she doesn‘t. I think she‘ll like traditional Beijing Opera.

Tony: Hmm, it‘s certainly very … traditional, isn‘t it?

Daming: I‘m a fan of rap.

Tony: Hey! Give us a break!

Lingling: What on earth is that?

Daming: Rap music.

Tony: I don‘t believe it!

M5u2a2

Vienna is a beautiful old city on the river Danube. It‘s the capital city of Austria and

the centre of European classical music. From 1750 a lot of composers and musicians

came to study and work in Vienna. The most famous family of musicians was the

Strauss family.

There were two composers called Johann Strauss: a father and a son. The father,

Johann Strauss the elder, wrote and played music for a classical dance – a waltz. His

waltzes made him famous all over Europe.

The son, Johann Strauss the younger, was even more successful and popular than

his father. He wrote more than 400 waltzes and his most famous one was The Blue

Danube. He wrote it in 1867. Strauss and Mozart were two of the most important

composers.

Mozart was born in Austria in 1756. Before he was six he played not only the piano,

but also the violin and the organ. His family took him around Europe and he gave

concerts in many cities. He wrote his first opera at the age of 12 and hundreds of

beautiful pieces of music for the classical orchestra. But he died in 1791 when he was

only 35. Some people say he was the greatest European composer.

M6u1a2

Tony: How is it going, Lingling?

Lingling: Ssh! I‘m reading.

Tony: Sorry! What‘s the book?

Lingling: Sally sent it to me. It‘s about a girl called Alice.

Tony: Go on!

Lingling: One day she was sitting by the river with a book, but she wasn‘t reading it.

Suddenly a white rabbit ran past her. It was looking at its watch.

Tony: Why was it running?

Lingling: Because it was late.

Tony: Where was it going?

Lingling: To a tea party with the Mad Hatter, the March Hare and a mouse.

Tony: I see! Was there a King and a Queen?

Lingling: Yes.

Tony: And what were they doing?

Lingling: The Queen was playing in the garden and the King was sitting on the

grass. And the Cheshire Cat was sitting in a tree and was smiling at everyone.

Tony: And let me guess … then Alice fell down a rabbit hole and went into their

strange world!

Lingling: Tony! Do you know the book?

Tony: Yes, it‘s Alice‘s Adventures in Wonderland. Every boy and girl in Britain has

read it.

Tony: Mmm … That smells delicious! What are you making?

Betty: Hi, guys! I‘ve made a pizza. Have some!

Tony: OK. Yes, it‘s great.

Betty: What‘s the matter, Daming?

Daming: It tastes too strong. I‘m afraid I don‘t like cheese. It doesn‘t smell fresh.

No, thanks.

Lingling: Well, I ‘ve made some chocolate cookies. Have a try! They taste really

sweet.

Daming: That‘s much better.

Betty: You‘re wearing a lovely sweater, Lingling.

Lingling: Yes, it feels very soft and comfortable.

Tony: You both look very smart. And so much food! Are we having a party?

Lingling: We‘re going to the airport to meet my friend Sally from London.

Daming: What‘s she like?

Lingling: I haven‘t met her, but she sounds really nice.

Betty: And she looks very pretty in her photo.

Tony: Let‘s have a look. Hm, yes, I see what you mean!

Lingling: And then we‘re coming back here to have something to eat.

Tony: You must introduce me to her.

Betty: Sure we will. We‘ll be back, soon.

Lingling: See you later.

M7u2a2

Hi Lingling,

Thanks for your last message, it was great to hear from you. You sound great fun,

and I can‘t wait to meet you.

I hope you will recognise me from my photo when I arrive at the airport. I‘m quite

tall, with short fair hair, and I wear glasses. I‘ll wear jeans and a T-shirt for the

journey, but I‘ll also carry my warm coat. I‘ve got your photo -- you look so pretty,

so I‘m sure we‘ll find each other!

Thanks for telling me about what you like doing. You sound just like me! I spend a

lot of time with the school orchestra, but I also like dance music -- I love dancing!

I enjoy sports as well, especially tennis. My brother is captain of the school tennis

team – I‘m very proud of him! And I work hard at school -- I feel stupid when I

get bad marks and I get angry with myself -- I should work harder.

You asked me how I feel about coming to China. Well, at first I often feel a bit sad

when I leave my mum and dad for a few days, and I‘m quite shy when I‘m with

strangers. I feel nervous when I speak Chinese, but I ‘ll be fine after a few days.

I‘m always sorry when I do something wrong, so please help me do the right

things when I‘m with you in China! Oh, and I‘m afraid of flying. B ut I‘m very

excited about coming to China!

See you next week!

Love Sally

Sally : So show me your map of Beijing, lingling?

Lingling: Ok, here‘s Tian‘anmen Square. On the left, over there, is the Great Hall of the People. And on the right is the National Museum of China. Sally: And how do I get to the Forbidden City?

Lingling: Go straight ahead. It‘s opposite Tian‘anmen Square.

Sally: I see. And where is the Chairman Mao Memorial Hall?

Lingling: It‘s here, between the Great Hall of the people and the Museum.

Sally: And can you tell me the way to a park?

Lingling: Yes, Beihai Park is my favourite. It‘s kind of quiet. Go across the square.

Turn left into Chang‘an Jie and then turn right into Chang Jie. I think there‘s an

entrance on the corner of Chang Jie and Wenjin Jie.

Sally: And where can I do some shopping?

Lingling: Everyone asks about the shopping! The best place is Wangfujing Dajie.

Go across Tian‘anmen Square, turn right, and go along Dongchang‘an Jie, and turn

left into Wangfujing Dajie.

Tour of London

Welcome to this short tour of London. In this square we are standing in the

middle of London. Opposite is the National Gallery, a museum with lots of famous

paintings. Go along the red street to Buckingham Palace. The Queen lives here.

Turn left and go to the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben. Opposite you can

see the London Eye. It takes you 135 metres above the River Thames. You can see

most of London on a clear day.

When you are tired, the best way to see London is by boat. You can get the

boat near Big Ben. As you go along the river, the London Eye is on your right.

Get off the boat at Tower Bridge. There you can see the Tower of London next

to the bridge. The tower of London is the city‘s oldest palest. It is 900 years old.

Take the boat back along the river. Get off the boat and go past the station and walk along the street. Opposite is the old fruit and vegetable market. They don‘t sell fruit and vegetables now. There are stores and restaurants, and lots of street musicians . Turn left into King‘s Street, and go past the church. You‘re now back where you started, at the square. Now you finish your tour.

lingling: Did you like the zoo?

Sally: Yes! I was so excited to see the pandas… at last! It was interesting to learn

about the Wolong Panda Reserve.

Lingling: But it‘s sad to think about all those animals in danger. It makes me mad! Sally: The surprising thing was to hear how many animals are in danger. We need

to protect them better.

Lingling: And it just isn‘t right to kill whales or elephants for their meat. Sally: Absolutely, but it‘s hard to stop the killing.

Lingling: And many animals have no place to live in. our villages and farms are

growing bigger, and we‘re taking away their lands forests.

Sally: Also, often their water isn‘t good to drink because we‘ve made it dirty.

Lingling: It‘s really awful. We need to help the animals live in peace. But many

people decide not to think about it. What on earth can we do?

Sally: let‘s find out what we can do to save them …

M9u2a2

A Help for pandas C The panda‘s home

B Pandas help other animals D An animal in danger 让选标题的

1 The panda is one of the animals most in danger. There are about 1,000 pandas living in nature reserves today. Zoos and reserves centres look after about 160 pandas. Scientists are studying how they live and more baby pandas are born in the zoos.

2 Pandas live in the forest and mountains of Southwest China. They mainly live on bamboo, and each panda needs to eat a lot of bamboo every day. The area of bamboo is becoming smaller for many different reasons, so pandas have less and l ess land to live on. Pandas don‘t have many babies, and baby pandas often die. The situation is becoming very serious.

3 Our government is working hard to save pandas. There are more than 30 nature reserves to protect pandas but these are not enough. The government has made a new plan to help pandas. The nature reserves will be bigger and the bamboo will grow better. Then the pandas will have enough food to eat and enough places to live in. Pandas born in the zoos may go back to live in the nature reserves.

4 Most people love pandas. The panda is one of the best-known animals in the world. It is the symbol for the World Wide Fund for Nature. The WWF works to

protect all animals in danger, so the panda has become the symbol of all animals in danger. There is still a long way to go to save the panda. Think of other animals in danger such as tigers, whales, turtles and elephants — we need to save the panda, and we need to save them, too.

Lingling: Sally and I went to Lao She Teahouse last night.

Tony: How was it?

wanted to see some Beijing Opera. So my parents offered to take us there. You can drink tea and see some opera.

Tony: Do you like Beijing Opera?

Lingling: Not especially, but I wanted to see the teahouse, so my parents agreed to

take us.

Betty: And did you understand it, Sally?

Sally: I tried to understand it, but it was almost impossible.

Sally: Well, it was interesting – that‘s the main thing. I hope to understand more

next time.

Tony: (whisper ) Betty, who is Lao She?

Betty: No idea.

Teahouse. The story happens in a Beijing teahouse.

A The story of Teahouse

B Lao She Teahouse

C The play Teahouse

D Lao She

Lao She wrote Teahouse in 1957. The play shows the audience life in china between 1898 and 1945. It takes place in a teahouse in old Beijing and it tells us the story of Wang Lifa and his customers. It asks us to see the teahouse as the

centre of the neighbourhood. Finally, it says goodbye to old Beijing and its people.

The story starts in 1898 during the Qing Dynasty. It continues in 1916, and finally, it brings the audience to the end of the Anti-Japanese War in 1945. After the war, Wang loses the teahouse and he dies.

Lao she was born in Beijing in 1899. His parents sent him to the Teacher‘s School in Beijing and he learned to teach. From 1924 to 1929 he taught Chinese to the English in London. He wrote many plays, novels and short stories. He was named a ―P eople‘s Artist‖ and a ―Great Master of Language‖. He was one of the greatest Chinese writers of the 20th century.

In Lao She Teahouse today, waiters bring tea to the customers and sell them delicious Chinese food. If you like Beijing Opera, folk music, acrobatics or magic shows, you can enjoy them in the teahouse. Lao She Teahouse gives a wonderful welcome to everyone from China and from all over the world.

Tony: Yes, we‘re going shopping for her present.

Betty: It‘s freezing, isn‘t it?

Tony: Yes, it‘s really cold.

Betty: What are you doing for Spring Festival, Tony?

Tony: We‘re going to England.

Daming: Will it be snowy?

Tony: You must be joking! It may not even be cold, just wet. And it might be

windy. Are you going to the USA, Betty?

Betty: We‘re not sure. We might go to Australia.

Tony: Sounds great! What will the weather be like?

Betty: Not bad, I guess. At the moment, it‘s summer there, so it‘ll probably be hot

and sunny. And what about you, Daming?

Daming: We‘re off to Hong Kong. It may be quite cool, but it‘ll probably be dry.

When ‘s the best time to visit the USA?

The USA is a very big country to visit, so choose carefully the places to see and the time to go. Bring a good map because you may want to travel around.

New York and Washington D.C. are good places to visit in May or October. It‘s not too hot then. In winter there‘s a lot of snow.

The best plan is to arrive in New England in September. The weather stars to get cooler and the trees start to change colour. It‘s a good idea to bring your camera because you may want to take photos of the autumn leaves.

4,000 kilometres away in Los Angeles, California, the weather is fine all year. It ‘s nice to see the Sun in December! Bring your swimsuit because you might want to swim in the sea.

In the northwest, it isn‘t very cold, but there‘s a lot of rain, so bring an umbrella. It ‘s pleasant to visit Alaska in July and August but it might be cool in the evening. So remember to wear some warm clothes. But don‘t come in winter. It‘ll be dark all day and freezing cold.

In Texas and the southeast, there are storms from time to time in summer and fall. It‘s usually very hot and sunny compared to many other places.

So when‘s the best time to visit the USA? Any time you like!

You can‘t use white, blue or black.

Lingling : You mustn‘t do any cleaning on the first day of the Chinese New Year. Daming: And you can‘t cut your hair.

Advice for visitors: traditional life in England

When I went to England, I enjoyed my stay. But I noticed so many different traditions.

For example, you usually shake hands with people when you meet them for the first time. But after that, you can just say hello. You must say Mr and Mrs when you speak to older people, but you can use first names with your friends.

One day we visited some friends and had tea. Tea is not just a drink but a light meal at around 4 pm. you can‘t have tea -- the meal -- after 4:30. We ate sandwiches and a large fruit cake. You can only drink tea at a tea part, not coffee or juice. And you must drink tea with milk. You must pour the tea, then the milk -- you can‘t put the milk in first, then the tea.

In buses or trains, the other passengers are very quiet, and you mustn‘t talk too loudly . It‘s very different from China! In some trains you can‘t even use your mobile phones! And you don‘t often hear people shouting in the street.

I was very lucky -- I even went to a wedding. It was very different form a Chinese wedding. For example, the man and the woman can‘t see each other the night before the wedding. Then the woman mustn‘t arrive at the church on time but a few minutes late. And at the party after the wedding, the woman throws her flowers over her shoulder. The girl who catches them will be next to get married! It was all very strange but it was great fun!
