Unit 1 Presenting a Speech Road Building Good morning, everyone. Today I'l l be talking about the relationship between road building and the development of the American economy during the 18th century. About 300 years ago, the United States' economy was growing rapidly, mainly because of a booming trade in two important agricultural products: grain and cotton. Grain output in the eastern part of America increased quickly at that time due to the rapidly growing population and the large number of immigrants from Europe. As a result, the demand for grain almost doubled. For this reason, the trade in grain first developed in this part of the country. At the same time, the road system was gradually built up in order to transport the grain from the rural areas to various cities. The road building clearly helped develop the economy quickly in these areas and in the cities as well. During the same period, farmers in the South could get a large amount of laborers from Africa, and they started to grow cotton. As the cotton output increased, the farmers needed to sell it in other places. As a result, many roads were built to link the rural areas to the cities. At first, this trade of grain and cotton took place along the coast, or near rivers and lakes. It took place there because it was easy and cheap to transport goods from one place to another. Before 1700, it was very expensive to move the goods by road.

Just call me when you find out for sure. (If you play it by ear, you don’t have a plan of action, but decided what to do as events take shape.) Q: What will the two speakers do? 4.

Unit One Life of Aspiration Part Two Focus-Listening A Great Communicator in All Circumstances Task One 1.Many American presidents are skilled at communicating with others, and they are great communicators, such as John F. Kennedy, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln. 2.Ronald Reagan is the Great Communicator. 3.Reagan was one of the best-known announcers in a radio station in his early twenties. He displayed an uncommon ability to connect and communicate with people. His vision for presidential campaign was clear and simple, and he was able to communicate with maximum effectiveness. 4.Because he possessed a clear vision, made decisions easily, and delegated very effectively. Part Three Home Listening Dream vs. Goal Task One Why we need dreams: Dreams give us a vision of a better future. They nourish our spirit; they represent possibility even when we are dragged down by reality. They keep us going. Dreams are where we want to end up. Interpretation of goals:Goals are concrete objectives. Goals are our day-by-day plans that provide achievable targets for increasing improvement. Goals provide our daily routine. They show us where to start and they establish our priorities. They make us organized and create the discipline in our lives. Goals are how we get there. Example of climbing the corporate ladder:Your dream is to get the promotion in a large company, but there seems to be too many people competing for too few positions at the top. What you have to do is to break down the dream into components and study the dream position, and you make sure that they want a hardworking, driven person who can manage a team and improve productivity. So your goals become perfecting each of these characteristics. Then find opportunities to show your boss you are the right person.
