[00:01.00]2a Listen and check () the questions you hear. [00:07.21]Welcome to the English club. [00:09.10]Today we're going to talk about the best ways [00:10.96]to learn English. [00:12.49]Who has an idea? [00:14.66]Do you learn English [00:15.50]by watching English-language videos? [00:18.08]No.It's too hard to understand the voices. [00:21.70]What about keeping a diary in English? [00:24.16]Do you learn English that way? [00:26.26]I think so.It helps to write English every day. [00:29.86]Have you ever studied with a group? [00:32.66]Yes,I have!I've learned a lot that way. [00:36.14]Do you ever practice conversations [00:37.66]with friends? [00:39.00]Oh,yes.It improves my speaking skills. [00:42.24]What about reading aloud [00:43.60]to practice pronunciation? [00:45.71]I do that sometimes.I think it helps. [00:48.86]I do too.And I always look up new words [00:51.54]in a dictionary. [00:52.72]That's a great idea! [00:56.63]3a Read the article and complete the chart. [01:03.69]How do you learn best? [01:07.34]This week, we asked students [01:09.67]at New Star High School about the best ways [01:12.52]to learn more English. [01:15.25]Many students had more specific suggestions. [01:22.86]Lillian Li,for example, [01:25.20]said the best way to learn new words [01:27.65]was by reading English magazines. [01:31.04]She said that memorizing the words [01:33.41]of pop songs also helped a little. |

[00:01.00]When we asked about studying grammar, [00:03.57]she said,"I never study grammar. [00:06.63]It's too boring." [00:09.75]Wei Ming feels differently. [00:12.33]He's been learning English for six years [00:14.66]and really loves it. [00:16.99]He thinks studying grammar is a great way [00:19.49]to learn a language. [00:21.72]He also thinks that watching English movies [00:24.69]isn't a bad way, [00:26.33]because he can watch the actors say the words. [00:30.16]Sometimes,however, [00:31.74]he finds watching movies frustrating [00:34.49]because the people speak too quickly. [00:38.69]Liu Chang said that joining the English club [00:41.47]at school was the best way [00:43.19]to improve her English. [00:45.71]Students get lots of practice [00:48.09]and they also have fun. [00:50.81]She added that having conversations [00:52.74]with friends was not helpful at all. [00:55.80]"We get excited about something [00:58.29]and then end up speaking in Chinese,"she said. |

[00:01.00]Unit 1 How do you study for a test? [00:05.69]Section B [00:06.99]2a Paul is learning English.Listen and check() [00:12.30]the learning challenges he talks about. [00:15.40]You look worried, Paul. [00:16.95]I am, Ms Mitchell. [00:18.51]I'm having trouble learning English. [00:20.69]You said you liked English . [00:22.58]What's the problem? [00:24.04]I can't get the pronunciation right. [00:26.00]Well, listening can help. [00:28.09]Why don't you borrow the teacher's tapes? [00:30.55]You can listen to them at home, [00:32.39]and repeat the sentences [00:33.66]that are difficult for you. [00:35.55]that's a good idea. [00:37.11]But what about all the new words? [00:39.27]I forget a lot of new words. [00:41.51]You can always write the new words [00:43.16]in your notebook and study them at home. [00:45.93]You can ever study in the train [00:47.60]on the way to school. [00:49.07]That might really help!Thanks. [00:51.58]Can you understand when people talk to you? [00:54.43]Well,no.Not always. [00:57.85]Sometimes I just don't understand [00:59.66]what people are saying. [01:01.31]Why don't you join an English language club [01:03.58]to practice speaking English? [01:05.68]The English club meets after school [01:07.56]on Tuesdays and Thursdays. [01:09.56]Maybe I'll go. [01:10.96]The only other problem I have is that [01:13.03]I don't get much writing practice. [01:15.09]Maybe you should find a pen pal. [01:17.42]That sounds like a fun way to practice writing. [01:19.92]Thanks,Ms Mitchell. |

[00:01.00]3a Read the article.Then read the statements [00:08.96]about the article. [00:10.62]Write"T"(for ture) or"F"(for false). [00:15.49]How I learned to learn English [00:19.34]Last year my English class was difficult [00:21.71]for me. [00:23.40]First of all,it wasn't easy for me [00:25.43]to understand the teacher [00:27.06]when she talked to the class. [00:29.77]To begin with,she spoken too quickly, [00:33.06]and I couldn't understand every word. [00:36.61]Later on,I realized that it doesn't matter [00:39.87]if you don't understand every word. [00:43.46]Also I was afraid to speak in class, [00:46.17]beacause I thought my classmates [00:47.74]might laugh at me. [00:50.15]I couldn't always [00:51.10]make complete sentences, either. [00:54.26]Then I started to watch English-language TV. [00:57.82]It helped a lot. [01:00.04]I think that doing lots of listening practice [01:02.46]is one of the secrets [01:03.92]of becoming a good language learner. [01:07.60]Another thing that I found very difficult [01:10.04]was English grammar. [01:12.77]So I decided to take lots of grammar notes [01:15.16]in every class. [01:17.51]Then I started to write [01:18.69]my own original sentences using the grammar [01:21.53]I was learning. [01:23.90]It's amazing how much this helped . [01:26.73]Now I am enjoying learning English [01:29.03]and I got an A this term. [01:31.74]My teacher is very impressed. |

[00:01.36]How do we deal with our problems? [00:04.50]Section 1 Before You Read [00:08.53]PAIRWORK [00:10.37]1a Can you think of any problems you have had [00:15.14]recently? [00:16.58]Tell a partner how you dealt with them. [00:19.70]Section 2 [00:21.22]While You Read [00:23.68]How do we deal with our problems? [00:26.14]Rich or poor,young or old,we all have problems. [00:31.80]And unless we deal with our problems, [00:34.35]we can easily become unhappy. [00:37.18]Worrying about our problems can affect [00:39.30]how we do at school. [00:41.41]It can also influence the way we behave with [00:43.91]our families. [00:45.72]So how do we deal with our problems? [00:48.34]There are many ways. [00:50.41]By learning to forget [00:53.35]Most of us have probably been angry with our [00:56.16]friends,parents or teacher. [00:58.65]Perhaps they said something you didn't like, [01:01.13]or you felt they were unfair. [01:03.94]Sometimes,people can stay angry for years about [01:06.95]a small problem. [01:08.66]Time goes by,and good friendships may be lost. [01:12.61]When we are angry,however, [01:15.02]we are usually the ones affected. [01:17.71]Perhaps we have seen young children playing [01:20.05]together. [01:21.24]Sometimes they have disagreements and decide not [01:24.19]to talk to each other. [01:26.13]However,this usually does not last for long. [01:29.89]This is an important lesson for us: [01:32.54]we can solve a problem by learning to forget. [01:36.05]By regarding problems as challenges [01:40.51]Many students often complain about school. [01:44.21]They might feel they have too much work to do [01:46.69]sometimes, [01:47.65]or think the rules are too strict. [01:50.30]We must learn how to change these "problems" [01:52.93]into "challenges". [01:55.10]Education is an important part of our [01:57.41]development. [01:58.81]As young adults,it is our duty to try our best [02:01.82]to deal with each challenge in our education [02:04.57]with the help of our teachers. [02:07.20]By thinking of something worse [02:10.69]By comparing yourself to other people, [02:14.00]you will find your problems are not so terrible. [02:17.39]Think about Stephen Hawking, [02:18.89]for example,a very clever scientist, [02:21.80]who regards his many physical problems as [02:24.26]unimportant. [02:25.94]He can't walk or even speak, [02:28.33]but he has become very famous and successful. [02:31.71]We are probably quite healthy and smart. [02:34.76]Let's not worry about our problems. [02:37.40]Let's face the challenges instead. [02:40.21]Section 3 After you Read [02:43.84]3b Look up the following words in a dictionary. [02:48.50]Write out the example given for the context [02:51.35]used in the reading. [02:53.75]duty (n.) A solder must do his duty. [02:59.38]smart (adj.) [03:01.20]solve (v.) [03:03.02]regard (v.) [03:04.89]instead (adv.) [03:07.34]Section 4 Go For It! [03:11.35]Look at the reading again. [03:13.31]Which way of dealing with problems do you think [03:16.07]is the best? [03:17.63]Write about a time when you dealt with a problem [03:20.15]that way. [03:21.52]If you have time! [03:23.33]Think of another way of dealing with problems. [03:26.78]Tell a partner about this. |

[00:45.17]He used to be a "problem child", [00:47.66]but a recent conversation with his mother [00:49.93]changed his life. [00:53.26]He didn't use to give his mother many problems. [00:56.57]However,after his father's death a few years ago [01:01.33]Martin's life became much more difficult. [01:04.53]His mother couldn't afford to pay for her [01:07.40]child's education. [01:09.24]To do this,she had to work, [01:11.70]and so was often not at home. [01:14.41]His mother looked after him as well as she could [01:18.64]Unfortunately,Martin still caused problems for [01:21.87]himself and his family. [01:24.40]He was not interested in studying [01:27.14]and he often got into trouble with the police. [01:30.59]Luckily,his mother was very patient and didn't [01:34.50]give up trying to help him. [01:37.12]In the end,she made a difficult decision: [01:40.96]to send him to a boys' boarding school. [01:43.92]Martin hated it and used to cause a lot of [01:47.43]trouble. [01:49.19]One day,he told his teacher he wanted to leave [01:52.38]the school. [01:54.44]Even the teacher agreed that Martin was wasting [01:57.52]his time. [01:59.71]The head teacher said it was necessary for [02:02.47]Martin to talk with his mother. [02:05.14]Martin called his mother,but to his surprise, [02:08.27]this phone call changed his life. [02:11.04]"It was exactly what I needed,"he said. [02:15.63]"My mother helped me to understand how much she [02:18.07]had given me. [02:19.81]She also told me that even though my father was [02:22.69]not longer with us, [02:24.27]he was watching me and would always take pride [02:27.57]in everything good I do. [02:31.00]That's when I decided to change. [02:33.63]I realize that since my father died, [02:36.75]I have been afraid of being alone, [02:39.15]and have tried to make my mother pay more [02:41.10]attention to me." [02:44.04]Now Martin has really changed. [02:46.73]He has been working hard and is now one of the [02:49.16]best students in his class. [02:51.83]How was he able to change? [02:54.40]His mother's love helped him to feel good about [02:56.82]himself,and as Martin himself says, [03:00.09]"It's very important for parents to be there for [03:02.87]their children." [03:06.25]Section 4 Go For It! [03:09.60]GROUPWORK [03:11.46]Think of things you used to do and you do now. [03:15.08]Then list all the information about your group. [03:19.11]IN THE PAST [03:21.04]1.Tian Jun didn't use to play basketball. [03:25.93]He used to play tennis. [03:28.48]NOW [03:30.31]1.He plays basketball every week. [03:34.25]He doesn't play tennis any more. [03:37.16]If you have time! [03:38.91]Imagine you are going to start a club to help [03:42.91]students who are not interested in school work. [03:46.83]Think of two activities you can do with them, [03:50.05]and discuss why it might help them. [03:52.71]ACTIVITIES [03:54.44]1.go and visit historical places near the school.

[00:01.00]Unit 3 [00:03.41]Teenagers should be allowed [00:04.92]to choose their own clothes. [00:07.94]Section A [00:09.26]1b Listen [00:11.68]and circle "T"(for true) or "F" (for false). [00:16.94]So,what are you doing this afternoon,Anna? [00:19.48]I'm going to the mall with John. [00:21.42]He just got his driver's license. [00:23.48]I'm sorry. You can't go with John. [00:26.30]I don't think six ten-year-olds [00:28.09]should be allowed to drive. [00:29.69]Thye aren't serious enough at that age. [00:32.14]But I have to go to the mall. [00:33.92]Gaby's getting her ears pierced [00:35.59]and I want to watch. [00:37.03]I don't think sixteen-year-olds [00:38.70]should be allowed to get their ears pierced. [00:41.12]They might be sorry later. [00:43.22]I agree,but it's fun to watch. [00:45.94]Is it OK if we take the bus? [00:48.13]Well,I guess so. [00:49.64]Great!I want to buy a new blouse [00:51.45]at the mall,too. [00:52.86]What kind are you going to buy? [00:55.27]Maybe I should go with you. [00:56.87]Aw,Mom.I'm not a child. [00:59.79]I think teenagers should be allowed [01:01.36]to choose their own clothes. [01:03.12]Well,I just want to be sure [01:04.56]you get something nice. |

[00:01.00]2a Listen check() what Kathy thinks. [00:05.76]Circle "Agrees","Disagrees", [00:08.89]or "Doesn't know" to show what Molly thinks. [00:13.01]Larry is working late again tonight,Kathy. [00:15.85]I know,Molly. [00:17.33]I don't think sixten-year-olds [00:18.78]should be allowed to work at night. [00:20.58]Young people need to sleep. [00:22.24]I disagree with you. [00:23.68]Teenage boys never get tired. [00:25.89]Well, maybe. [00:27.10]But Larry shouldn't work every night. [00:29.02]Oh,I agree.He needs time to do homework. [00:32.45]You know,Molly...he should really cut his hair. [00:35.34]Oh,I don't know.Do you think it's too long? [00:38.31]Yes.I do.It doesn't look clean. [00:41.80]And I think he should stop [00:43.13]wearing hat silly earring. [00:44.95]Oh,I disagree. [00:46.38]I kind of like it. [00:47.81]It looks cool! [00:49.90]You know what worries me- [00:51.43]Larry doesn't seem to have many friends. [00:54.08]Yeah,I know. [00:55.47]I think he shouldn't work on weekends. [00:57.86]Oh I agree,Molly. [00:59.31]He needs to spend time with friends. [01:01.59]Like you and me? Maybe. |

[00:01.00]3a Read the conversation.Then write Sun Fei's [00:06.46]and Wu Yu's rules in the chart. [00:09.23]Use "Don't" and "You can". [00:12.96]We have a lot of rules at my house. [00:16.26]So do we.For example, [00:19.19]I have to stay at home on school nights. [00:22.88]I usually do, too. [00:24.84]But sometimes I'm allowed to study [00:26.92]at a friend's house. [00:28.93]What about weekends? [00:30.89]Well,I'm allowed to go to the movies [00:33.21]with friends on Friday nights. [00:35.85]Me,too,but I have to be home by 10:00 pm. [00:39.72]And on Saturday afternoons, [00:41.79]I'm allowed to go shopping with my friends. [00:44.70]That's nice. [00:46.62]And I'm allowed to choose my own clothes, [00:49.11]but I'm not allowed to get my ears pierced yet. |

[00:01.00]Unit 3 Teenagers shoulb be allowed [00:04.54]to choose their own clothes. [00:07.27]Section B [00:08.88]2a Listen and circle the things in activity 1a [00:14.13]that you hear. [00:15.77]What's the matter,Peter? [00:17.28]I think I'm going to fail a math test,Dad. [00:20.22]You are? why? [00:21.62]Well,I missed the bus [00:23.24]and I had to walk to school. [00:25.01]So? [00:26.32]I'm not allowed to get to class late, [00:28.58]and there was a big test today. [00:30.50]And you weren't allowed to take the test? [00:32.54]That's right.But I know I could pass that test. [00:35.98]Well,Peter,the school has to have rules, [00:38.42]you know. [00:39.19]I know. But I should be allowed [00:41.03]to take the test later. [00:42.54]It's not fair. [00:43.83]I agree. [00:45.38]Maybe you could talk to the teacher [00:46.86]after school. [00:48.08]Yeah.Maybe if I explain what happened, [00:50.40]she'll understand. |

[00:01.00]3a Read the article [00:03.68]and then answer the questions. [00:06.41]The other day, [00:07.93]my friends and I talked about the rules [00:10.74]that we have in school. [00:12.83]At our school, [00:14.21]we have to wear uniforms every day. [00:17.28]The problem is that all my classmates [00:19.98]think the uniforms are ugly. [00:22.47]We think young people should look smart, [00:25.37]and so we would like to wear our own clothes. [00:28.64]Our teachers believe that if we did that [00:31.53]we would concentrate more on our clothes [00:33.90]than our studies. [00:35.73]We disagree. [00:37.68]We would feel more comfortable [00:39.92]and that is good for studying. [00:41.92]If we can't do that, [00:43.65]we should be allowed to design [00:45.17]our own uniforms. [00:47.26]That would be a good way to keep both teachers [00:49.74]and students happy. [00:51.72]It's also probably a good idea, [00:53.89]for parents to allow teenagers [00:55.46]to study in groups during the evening. [00:58.66]I know we get noisy sometimes, [01:01.45]but we learn a lot from each other. [01:04.12]We also think that vacations should be longer. [01:07.86]At present they're too short. [01:10.23]Longer vacations would give us time [01:12.47]to do things like volunteering. [01:15.54]Last summer, [01:16.80]I had an opportunity [01:18.38]to volunteer at local hospital, [01:21.65]but I couldn't [01:22.64]because I had to go back to school. [01:25.16]It would be a good experience for me. [01:27.59]because I want to be a doctor when I'm older. |
