Module 1 How to learn English
Unit 1
Let’s
try to speak English as much as possible.
Ms James: Welcome back, everyone! Today,
we’re
going to talk about good ways to
learn English. Ready? Who has some advice?
Lingling: We should always speak English in class.
Ms James: Good!
Let’s
try to speak English as much as possible.
Daming: Why not write down the mistakes in our notebooks?
Ms James:
That’s
a good idea. And
don’t
forget to write down the correct answe
rs next to the mistakes. What else?
Lingling:
It’s
a good idea to spell and pronounce new words aloud every day.
Ms James: Thanks a lot, Lingling. How about listening to the radio?
Lingling: Yes,
that’s
good for our pronunciation too. But there are so many new
word. Ms James: You
don’t
need to understand every word. You just need to list
en for key words and main ideas.
Daming:
That’s
the same for reading. English stories are so interesting. I get
to know a lot about the world through reading.
Lingling: I think writing is also important. Why
don’t
we try to find some Engl
ish pen friends? We can write to them. Ms James: Excellent! I agree with you.

Unit 2 You should smile at her!
Send your questions to Diana, the Language Doctor.

The first question is about understanding English films and songs. Li Hao fr
om Hubei wrote,
“I
like watching English films and listening to English songs,
but I can only understand a little. What can I
do?”

Watching films and listening to songs are great way to learn English! Watch
and listen several times, and guess the meaning of the new words. Each time you
will learn something new. I also advise you to talk about the films or songs wit
h your friends.
The second question is about speaking. Wang Fan from Jilin wrote,
“Our
scho
ol has a teacher from the US. I am shy and I am afraid to speak to her. What sho
uld I
do?”

You can say,
“Hello!
How are
you?”

“Do
you like
China?”
These are good ways
to start a conversation. And before you begin, you should smile at her! Remember
this: Do not be shy. Just try.
The third question is about vocabulary. Zhang Lei from Anhui wrote,
“I
write do
wn new words, but I forget them quickly. How can I remember
them?”

Do not worry. It is natural to forget new words! I suggest you write four or fiv
e words a day on pieces of paper and place them in your room. Read the words whe
n you see them, and try to use them.


Module 2 My home town and my country

Daming: Pretty good! I went to Shenzhen.
Tony:
Where’s
Shenzhen?
Daming: Well,
it’s
on the coast near Hong Kong. It was a small village about th
irty years ago, but today
it’s
a very big city.
Tony: So
it’s
a newer city than Hong Kong?
Daming: Yes,
it’s
a newer city. In fact, it only became important in the 1980s.
It’s
getting bigger and busier. Some day it will become as busy as Hong Kong, I
’m
sure.
Tony:
What’s
the population of Shenzhen?
Daming:
It’s
over ten million, I think.
That’s
larger than the population of m
any other cities in China. Its streets are much wider and cleaner too. I think i
t’s
a beautiful city.
Tony:
I’d
like to go to there one day.
Daming: Remember to visit the Diwang Tower.
It’s
taller than many other buildin
gs in Shenzhen.



Unit 2 Cambridge is a beautiful city in the east of England.
Cambridge, London and England
By Tony Smith
I come from Cambridge, a beautiful city in the east of England. It is on the
River Cam and has a population of about 120,000. My home is especially famous fo

r its university. Many famous people studied here, such as Isaac Newton and Char
les Darwin. There are lots of old buildings and churches to visit. Students and
tourists enjoy trips along the river by boat.
Cambridge is 80 kilometres from London. London is in the south of England and
it is on the River Thames. It has a population of about seven and a half millio
n, so it is bigger and busier than Cambridge. It is about 2,000 years old, and i
t is famous for Big Ben, Buckingham Palace and Tower Bridge.
England itself is a part of an island, and you are always near the sea. The s
mall villages and beaches on the coast are popular for holidays. Tourists like t
he areas of low and beautiful lakes in the north, and the hills and pretty villa
ges in the south. Everywhere in England you will notice how green the countrysid
e is.
It is never very hot in summer or very cold in winter. So come and see England
any time of the year, but bring an umbrella with you. You will need it most day
s.





Module 3

Sports
Unit 1 Nothing is more exciting than playing tennis.
Daming: Hey, Tony. Come and watch the football match on TV.

Tony: OK.
What’s
the score?
Daming: Spain scored a minute ago.
Tony: Wow!
That’s
fast!
Daming:
That’s
right. Last week the match on TV was so boring because no one sc
ored at all. So this
week’s
match is already more exciting.
Betty:
What’s
the matter with you, Tony? You look tired.
Tony:
I’m
really tired after last
night’s
tennis match. And I hurt my knee.
Daming:
That’s
too bad! Sit down and watch the match.
It’s
safer than playing
tennis.
Betty: Yes, watching is not sure about that. Nothing is more relaxing too!
Tony: Well,
I’m
not sure about that. Nothing is more enjoyable than playing ten
nis.
Betty: But you enjoyed watching the Olympics on TV, right?
Tony: Yes, but
that’s
because it was cheaper than buying tickets for all the ga
mes.
Daming: And staying at home was easier than going to the stadium. Oh, look at th
at!
Tony: Oh, he missed! Oh, bad luck!
Daming: Never mind.
There’s
still plenty of time for them to score.

Training hard
By Li Daming
It is Saturday tomorrow, but I am going to school. I am not going
for lessons, but to play football. I am in our school team and we a
re going to play against another school next week. The practice star
ts at 10 am. We all arrive as early as we can so that we have time t
o warm up. We are training harder than usual because the other team
beat us last year. This year we want to do better.
It is more difficult to practise in winter because the days are s
hort and the weather is cold too. It gets dark earlier, so it is imp
ortant not to be late for after-school practice.
Our coach is pleased because we are playing better as a team now.
Last year we were sometimes careless when we passed the ball and we
lost to the other team in the final match. What a pity! This year w
e practise more carefully. That means we have a better chance of win
ning.
The fan club has fewer people this year. We hope to play well so
that we have more fans to watch the matches. It is good to have our
fans around. They cheer us on loudly and we feel more confident to w
in the game.








Module 4 Planes, ships, and trains
Unit1 He lives the farthest from school
Betty: I was late for school today.
Mum: Why? What happened?
Betty: I took the bus. There was a road accident, and the traffic wa
s very heavy. But nobody was late, except me. Maybe I should go to s
chool by taxi.
Mum:
It’s
the most comfortable way, but
it’s
also the most expensi

ve.
Betty: Then what about going by bike?
Mum:
That’s
a good choice, but
it’s
a bit dangerous.
There’s
so m
uch traffic.
Betty: But most of my classmates ride bikes, and
it’s
quite safe. D
on’t
worry.
I’ll
be carefull.
Mum: How does Tony go to school?
Betty: He lives the farthest from school, so he takes the undergroun
d.
Mum: And what about Lingling?
Betty: Her home is the closest to school, so she walks.
Mum: How about Daming?
Betty: He goes by bus too, the same as me. But
it’s
so crowded! And
the traffic is heavy.
Mum: All right. You can ride your bike to school, but remember to be
careful all the time.


Unit2 What is the best way to travel?
Question: What is the best way to travel from London to Amsterdam.
I am planning to travel from London to Amsterdam. How long does t
he journey take and what is the best way to travel? Could you please
tell me about the trains or ships to get there? The more informatio
n, the better. Thanks!
Best answer: There are four ways to travel.

A journey by train is more relaxing than by coach, but a lot mor
e expensive. When you go by train, buy your ticket a long time befor
e you travel. It is usually cheaper.

You can go by car and by s
hip across the North Sea. This is the most comfortable way to travel
but also the most expensive. Book your ticket before you book your
hotel. Remember that parking in Amsterdam is very expensive, so stay
outside the city centre and travel in by bus or by train.

The third choice is by coach. This is usually the cheapest, but
in summer the coaches sometimes get crowded! And it takes you about
twelve hours to get there. However, it will not cost as much as goin
g by train.

Finally, you can fly. It is the fastest and the second cheapest
, but you may have to wait for hours at the airport because of bad w
eather.
Well, I hope this helps! Have a great trip.

and actress were excellent.

that’s
the main thing. I hope to
understand more next time.
