You should always speak English in class. You should write down your mistakes in your notebook. Why don't you write down the correct spelling and grammar next to the mistakes? Check your vocabulary book every day. Any other good ideas?

That's a good idea, thanks Lingling. How to listen to the radio or read newspapers in English environment? But don't try to translate every word.

I think everyone should have a pen pal and write emails to each other. I will meet my pen pal in Beijing this semester. Very good!

M 1 u2

Send your question to the Doctor of Language at :nse@fltrp.com University. Many students seek advice on improving their English. The problems are mainly reflected in the following three aspects: the first one is about real English. Li Hao in Hubei wrote, "I like watching English movies and listening to original English songs, but it takes a lot of time. What do you think? " This is a good way to learn English. You can talk to your friends about the movies you watch or the songs you listen to, and guess the meaning of unfamiliar words. Will be very happy!

The second question is about speaking. Sam from Suzhou wrote: "There is a foreign teacher in our school, but I am too shy to talk to her. What should I do? " When I came to China, many people in the street talked to me. They said, "Hi! Hello! Where are you from? Do you like China? " These are all questions suitable for dialogue. Many people feel embarrassed when speaking English, so take a deep breath and smile before you speak. It's useful when you smile.

The third question is about vocabulary. Oliver of Anhui wrote: "I want to remember all the new words in my homework and write them down, but I soon forgot them." What should I do? "Give it a try. Remember eight to ten words every day. Write the words on paper and put them in the bedroom. Read them when you see them. Change different words every day. In addition, when shopping, count the English words you see, or say them in English.

Lingling, what's your pen pal's name? L: Sally Maxwell comes from a public school in London. Has she been to China before?

No, she didn't. But I sent her a DVD about China. And I've seen it. She likes letters about my life in Beijing very much, so I think she will like it here. What about you, Lingling? Have you ever wanted to travel around the world? Yes, I am. I've always wanted to go to America and Europe. Sally invited me to stay in England with her one day. The problem is the price of the air ticket.

Guess what, did you read today's newspaper? There is a competition. "Take off from Beijing Capital Airport, land in London and write down a wonderful experience. The first prize is your dream British holiday. " what are you going to do？ Have you ever participated in such a competition?

No I don't. That sounds great!

M2 u2, have you ever had any wonderful experiences? Wei Ming has been to many places in China by air. Her father is the captain of China Civil Aviation, and every time they fly to different places for their holidays. "My favorite place is Mount Tai, but I also like the beaches in Sanya." Is there any place she hasn't been to? "I haven't been to Shanghai.

Li Han has been to San Francisco, USA. His grandparents live there, and he visits them every Spring Festival. "I like San Francisco very much. There are many things to see and do there. I feel at home in Chinatown! " Li Han said.

Wen Yi eats western food in a hotel in Nanjing. "Have you ever eaten Italian food? Delicious! Pizza has always been my favorite, but I don't like sandwiches and ice cream-it's too cold.

Wang Ming has heard of Liu Huan's concert for more than 2,000 people in Beijing. "He holds concerts all over the country, and tickets are always sold out. He wrote many songs. He is the greatest musician in China. " Wang Ming said.

Last time, He Meifeng went to a Beijing cinema to watch house of flying daggers, because she always liked Zhang Ziyi. After the movie, she stood up, and Zhang Ziyi sat in the seat next to her. "I've always wanted to see Zhang Ziyi, and my dream has come true!"

Write a short article about your wonderful experience, and the first prize winner can realize his dream of spending a holiday in England.

M3 Hello, Tony, what are you doing? Hello, Daming, I'm making a model of the space station. what do you think?

Very good! Is this your homework for space travel? I haven't started yet.

Relax, Ms. J won't want it until next week. Have you heard the latest news? Some scientists have sent a spaceship to Mars, which will take several months to get there. Has the boat arrived yet? Yes, here we are. That's why it is news. Did astronauts find life on Mars? No, no. There are no astronauts on the spaceship. But astronauts have been to the moon.

But no one has been there recently. But many astronauts have been working in the space station. They traveled back and forth between the earth and space by spaceship.

You know a lot about space travel. Can I show your model space station to my parents?

But I heard that they went to Shanghai on business. Oh, they are coming back tonight. I want to show them these.

Well, you can take it away, but you must bring it back tomorrow.

Scientists in M3 u2 believe that there was life on the earth millions of years ago. Anyway, we can't find life on other planets. Isn't it?

The earth is a planet. It revolves around the sun. Seven other planets also revolve around the sun. There is no air in their environment, so people and creatures can't grow. The sun and its stars are called the solar system. The solar system is a small part of our galaxy.

The stars we can see at night are other stars in the solar system. Our galaxy has more than 20 billion stars, called the Milky Way, and our sun is one of them. But scientists have discovered other galaxies in the universe. They are far away from us, and their light will take many years to reach us. It's hard to imagine how big the universe is.

Scientists have sent spaceships to other planets in our solar system, and some spaceships are already outside our solar system. In any case, no one found any life in space. But no one sent us messages from other planets? Are they trying to send us a message? There are so many stars in the universe, are we alone? Is there life in space? We don't know yet.

When will Sally arrive in Beijing? Next month. How long have you known her? Two years. Have You Seen Her?

No, I didn't, but I got along well with her. We like the same things. Can she speak Chinese?

Yes, a little. She has studied Chinese for a year. It is difficult for her to speak Chinese.

Yes, it is. It is easy to learn a foreign language when you visit a country. How long have you lived here? Since 2004,

How long have you been studying Chinese? What does Sally want to do here? One year. There are several concerts in her school orchestra, but she has heard of Hope School. She wants to go to a school in Gansu or Qingdao. What is Hope School? A school for poor children. In fact, since 1989, Hope Project has established schools all over China. Really, that sounds interesting. Tell me more!

Hope for the future of M4 u2 Liu Sanzi is an 8-year-old boy from rural Hunan. His parents want him to drop out of school. There are seven people in his family, who are very poor. He has to work in the farmland, which is very important to his family.

Li, 14 years old, a native of Gansu province, dropped out of school a few years ago. His parents are ill, so he must take care of them.

Because of poor families, many children like Li and Liu Sanzi can't receive education. Now, with the help of Project Hope, they can go to school. In the past 15 years, Project Hope paid tuition fees for 2.5 million poor rural students through fundraising. People at home and abroad donated 2.2 billion yuan. Project Hope used the money to build many schools and libraries, train many teachers and send many students to middle schools.

Last year, a student surnamed Shen in Shanxi Province attended a school without electricity and few books. But this year he has been taking classes in the big classroom of the new teaching building, and there are a lot of books in the school. These are all funded by Project Hope.

In China, most people have heard of Project Hope and donated money, but there are still 40 million children from poor families who need help. Thanks to the efforts of Project Hope, thousands of children have lived a better life. Maybe we should all ask, "What can we do for Project Hope? What can we do to help? "

M5U 1 I like this music. Who created it? Well, I'm not sure, but the orchestra of Sally School is playing it.

It was written by Strauss. You have heard of him, haven't you? Yes, I've heard of it. He is German, isn't he?

No, he isn't. He is Austrian. He was born in Vienna, Austria. What's the name of this song?

Blue Danube, the Danube is a river in Vienna. You like western classical music, don't you? Yes, that's right. Who is your favorite composer of classical music? Beethoven, but I also like pop music. Do you listen to pop music? Yes, I like it very much.

However, Sally is a classical musician, so she doesn't like pop music, does she? No, she isn't. I think she likes traditional Beijing opera.

Well, it's really traditional, isn't it? I am a fan of rap music. Hey, give us a chance. What music is that? Rap music.

I can't believe it.

M5 is a beautiful and ancient city on the Danube. It is the capital of Austria and the cradle of European classical music. Since 1750, many composers and musicians have gone to Vienna to work and study, among which the most famous music family is the Strauss family. There are two composers named johann strauss. They are father and son. Old John composed classical music-waltz. His waltz made him famous throughout Europe.

Little John is more successful and popular than old John. He wrote more than 400 waltzes, the most popular of which was 1867' s Blue Danube. Strauss and Mozart are two of the most important composers.

Mozart was born in Austria on 1756. Before he was six years old, he could not only play the piano, but also play the violin and organ. His family took him all over Europe and held concerts in various cities. /kloc-at the age of 0/2, he wrote his first opera and hundreds of classical music for the orchestra. But Mozart died at the age of 35 in 179 1. Some people say that he is the greatest composer in Europe.

Lingling, is everything all right? I am reading a book. What book is it? What Sally lent me was about a girl named Alice. Go ahead. One day, she was sitting by the river with a book, but he didn't read it. Suddenly a white rabbit ran past her and was looking at her watch.

Why did you run? Because it's late. Where is it going? Go to the tea party with the Hatter, March Rabbit and Mouse.

I know. Are there any kings and queens? Yes, what are they doing?

The queen is playing in the garden, the king is sitting on the grass and the cat is sitting under the tree and smiling at everyone.

Let me guess, Alice fell into the rabbit hole and walked into their strange world. Tony, do you know this book?

Yes, this book is Alice in Wonderland. Every boy and girl in England has read it.

Alice feels very tired. She and her sister are sitting by the river. Her sister is reading. Alice has nothing to do. She read her sister's book once or twice, but there were no dialogues or pictures in it. "What book is this?" Alice thought. There are no pictures and dialogues.

So, she was thinking about making a daisy wreath. At this moment, a small white rabbit with pink eyes ran to her side.

There's nothing to be surprised about. When she heard the rabbit say, "Oh, dear, oh, dear, I'm going to be late", she thought it was not surprising at all. But Alice woke up when the rabbit took a watch out of his pocket. A rabbit with a pocket and a watch? She has traveled all over the world. Chasing the rabbit, she saw the rabbit get into a big hole under the hedge.

Then Alice followed it in, never thinking about how she would get out.

M7U 1 which smells delicious. What are you doing? Hello, kid, I'm making pizza. Do you want something to eat?

Ok, yes, very good! Deming, what do you think? It's a little strong. I'm afraid I don't like cheese. It smells stale. No, thanks.

Ok, I'll make some chocolate biscuits. Just try it. They taste really sweet. Great

Lingling, you are wearing a very lovely sweater. Yes, it feels very comfortable and warm.

You look smart and the food is good. Are we going to have a party?

We are going to meet my friend, Sally from London, at the airport. What does he look like?

I haven't seen her. But her voice is very nice. She is very beautiful in the photo.

Let's have a look. Yes, I know what you mean. Then we will come back here for dinner. You must introduce her to me.

We will. We'll be back soon. see you again

M7 u2 Hello, Lingling, thank you for your last message. I'm glad to hear from you. You look so good, I can't help but want to see you.

I hope you can recognize me from my photo. When I arrived at the airport, I was tall, with short blond hair and glasses. I will wear jeans and a T-shirt on this trip. But I will also bring my coat, and I will bring you photos. You look beautiful, so I believe we will find each other.

Thank you for telling me what you like to do. You and I are very similar. I spend a lot of time in the school orchestra, but I also like dance music-I love dancing! I also like sports, especially tennis. My brother is the captain of the school tennis team, and I am proud of him. I study very hard at school. When my grades are not good, I will feel stupid and I will be angry with myself-I should work harder!

You asked me how I felt about coming to China. Well, first of all, I often feel a little sad. I am shy when I am away from my parents for a few days and with strangers. I feel nervous when I speak Chinese. But in a few days, I can speak very well. I always feel guilty when I do something wrong, so please help me do the right thing when I am in China with you. Oh, I'm very afraid of flying, but I'm very excited to come to China.

See you next week! Love, Sally.

Lingling, give me a map of Beijing. Ok, this is Tiananmen Square. On the left, yes, that's the Great Hall of the People. On the right is the National Museum. How can I get to the Forbidden City? Go ahead, it's opposite Tiananmen Square. I see. Where is the Chairman Mao Memorial Hall? Here, between the Great Hall of the People and the museum. Can you tell me the way to the park? All right. Beihai Park is my favorite. This is a quiet park. Cross the square, turn left into Chang 'an Street, and then turn right into Long Street. I think there is an entrance at the corner of Lang Street and Jinwen Street. Where can I go shopping? Everyone asks about shopping. The best place is Wangfujing Street. Cross Tiananmen Square, turn right, walk along East Chang 'an Street, and then turn left into Wangfujing Street.

M8 U2

Welcome to this short trip to London. In this place, we are standing in the center of London. Opposite the National Art Gallery, there are many famous paintings in this museum. You can go to the White House along this red street, where the Queen lives.

Turn left, then come to the Parliament Building and Big Ben. In the opposite direction, you will see the London Eye. It can take you over the Thames 135 meters. You can see most of London on a clear day.

When you are tired, the best way to visit London is by boat. You can take a boat near Big Ben. When you walk along the river, the London Eye is on your right.

Get off the boat at the Tower of London, where you can see the bridge near the Tower of London, the oldest building in the city with a history of more than 900 years.

Go back along the river by boat, get off the boat, cross the subway station and walk along the street, opposite the old fruit and vegetable supermarket. They don't sell fruits and vegetables now. There are many shops, restaurants and street musicians. Turn left into King Street, pass the church, and you will arrive at the square where you stood. Now you have finished your trip.

Do you like that zoo? I love it! I finally met the panda-so excited! It's interesting to know about Wolong Panda Reserve. But it's sad to think of those endangered animals. This makes me very angry! It's amazing to hear that so many animals are in danger. We need to protect them better. It is completely wrong to kill whales or elephants for meat. This is true, but it is difficult to stop it. Many animals have nowhere to live-our villages and farms are getting bigger and bigger, and we are occupying their land and forests. Besides, their water is often not drinkable-because we have polluted it. That's terrible! We should help animals live in a peaceful environment. But many people don't think about it. What the hell can we do? Think about what we can do to save them. . .

M9 u2 panda is one of the most endangered animals, and there are about 1000 pandas living in nature reserves. Zoos and research centers take care of about 160 giant pandas. Scientists are studying how they live and how to make more baby pandas born in zoos.

Pandas live in forests and mountains in southwest China. They mainly eat bamboo. Every panda needs to eat a lot of bamboo every day. For many reasons, the area of bamboo is getting smaller and smaller, so pandas live in fewer and fewer places. Pandas can't have many babies. Baby pandas often die. This situation has become very serious.

Our government is trying to protect pandas. There are more than 30 nature reserves to protect pandas, but this is not enough. The government has made a new plan to help pandas. Nature reserves will get bigger and bamboo will get better. Then the pandas will have more food to eat and more places to live, and the pandas born in the zoo can go back to the nature reserve to live.

Many people like the giant panda, which is one of the most famous animals in the world. It is the symbol of the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) for the protection of giant pandas. Therefore, the panda has become a symbol of all endangered animals. There should be a long way to go to protect pandas. Think of other endangered animals, such as tigers, whales, turtles and elephants. We need to protect pandas, and we also need to protect them.

Sally and I went to see Teahouse edited by Lao She last night. How's it going?

Very good! As you know, Sally's biggest interest is music. She wants to see Beijing Opera. So my parents promised to take us. You can watch a play while drinking tea.

Do you like listening to Beijing Opera?

Not really, but I want to see the teahouse, so my parents agreed to take us there.

Sally, do you understand the play?

I tried my best to understand, but it was almost impossible.

How long did you stay?

We just wanted to have some tea, but then we decided to stay for two hours.

Sally, did you have a good time?

Well, that's interesting. This is the main thing. I hope to learn more next time.

Betty, who is Lao She?

I don't know

Lao She is a famous writer, especially his play Teahouse. The story happened in a teahouse in Beijing.

Hey, guys! Don't forget Lingling's birthday next week.

That's right. We want to buy her a present. It's very cold, isn't it?

Yes, it's cold.

Tony, what are you going to do during the Spring Festival?

We are going to England.

Will it snow there?

You must be joking. It won't even be cold, it will only rain. It may be windy. Betty, are you going to America?

We haven't decided to go to Australia.

That sounds great! What will the weather be like there?

I think it will be good. It was summer in Australia at that time, so it might be hot and sunny. What about you, Daming?

We are going to Hong Kong. It may be cold there, but it may also be dry. Betty, when is the best time to go to America?

Then go when the weather is not too cold ... not too hot!

Come on, let's go!

What gift are you going to buy Lingling?

Wear warm clothes!

The best time to travel to America

The United States is a very big tourist country, so you should choose the place and time you want to go very carefully, and take a map with you, because you may want to travel around it.

New york and Washington are good places to visit. 10 In May and June, it won't be too cold there, and it snows a lot in winter.

The best plan is to arrive in New Zealand in September, when the weather starts to get cold and the trees start to change color. It's a good idea to bring your camera, because you may want to take pictures of autumn leaves. California, 4000 kilometers away from Los Angeles, has very suitable weather all year round. It is good to bask in the sun in June+February, 5438. Take your bathing suit, because you can go swimming in the sea.

It's not very cold in the northwest, but there is a lot of rain, so you need to take an umbrella. It's very comfortable to go to Alaska in July and August, but it may be a little cold at night. Remember to wear some warm clothes, but don't go in winter. It's dark and very cold there all day.

In Texas and southwest China, there are sometimes storms in summer and autumn. Compared with other places, it is usually hot and sunny here, so when is the best time to go to America, whenever you like.

M 12 unit 1

You must wait and then open it.

Let's stop talking. There she is! Happy birthday, Lingling.

Ah, you remember!

We have a present for you.

Thank you.

You can open it! Hurry up!

Oh, no! I can't open it now. It will take some time!

Wait! In America, when someone gives you a gift, you must open it at once.

No, you can't open presents at once in China.

Also remember: when you receive a gift, you must pick it up with both hands.

Pick it up with your hands! In England, we can answer with one hand!

Here's the thing. Besides, you must wrap the red envelope in red paper, because it symbolizes good luck. White, blue or black paper is not allowed.

You can't clean on New Year's Day.

And you can't cut your hair.

You must be joking!

You can't break anything yet, which is unlucky! Anyway, relax! English tradition is also very strange!

You must eat more jiaozi!

What is jiaozi?

Wait and see!

Advice for tourists: traditional life in Britain

I had a good time in England. But I noticed that there are many different traditions.

For example, when you meet someone for the first time, you usually shake hands with them. But after that, all you have to do is say "hello". When you talk to older people, you should say Mr or Mrs first ... but you can call your friends by their first names.

One day, we visited some friends and had tea together. This tea is not just a drink, it is tea around 4 o'clock. You can't drink this tea, coffee and juice after 4: 30. You must drink tea with milk. You must pour tea before adding milk, but you can't pour milk before pouring tea.

On the bus or train, other passengers are quiet, so you must not talk too much. This is very different from China! Some trains can't even use mobile phones! Besides, you can hardly hear someone shouting in the street.

I was so lucky that I even attended a wedding. Weddings here are very different from those in China. For example, the bride and groom are not allowed to meet the night before the wedding. Then the bride must not arrive at the church on time, but be a few minutes late. At the party after the wedding, the bride will throw her flowers back from her shoulders. The girl who receives the flowers will be the next bride! It's all beautiful but interesting!
