Task 1: Enrolling
Good morning, everyone. I’d like to welcome you to City University. I’m Betty Russell and I work in the International Students’ Office. I have some important for you.

There’s no charge for student use, but of course you’ll have to show your ID card. Concerning the medical assistance, the University has its own health center, and all services are free for enrolled students.

Task 2: Living on Campus
(M=man; W=woman)
M: Hi, Lisa. How’s life on campus?
W: Hi, John. Oh, not so bad. Pretty good in fact.
M: Is that what do you think? I mean, do you like living on campus?
W: Yeah, I enjoy living here because there’s so many people around and it’s easy
to make friends. What about you? Have you ever lived in a dorm before?
M: No, this is the first time.
W: I think you’ll find it quite convenient. The library, labs, sports center and other facilities are right on campus.
M: That’s true. The atmosphere here is different from the outside. But I guess living in town has its advantage too, like being close to the shopping center. You know, our university is so far from downtown.
W: But th e commuting to classes…I mean, you would have to get up so early to get to classes on time. And then going home would be so much time.
M: Yeah, but the food here…it seems it’s the same thing in the cafeteria every day.
W: Well, I think the food here is OK, and if you want a change, you can eat out once in a while.
M: True.
1. She thinks it’s easy to make friends.
2. It’s convenient to use the library, the labs, the sports center and many other facilities.
3. It’s near the shopping center.
4. They would have to get up so early to get to classes on time. And then it would take a lot of time to get home.
5. It seems all the same every day.
Task 3: Learning to speak English
Hello, how are you? When most people learn English as a second language, they learn formal English. Unfortunately, learning it like this tends to make you feel distant and bored. The truth is, most people in English-speaking countries don’t speak to each other in such a formal way. They speak in a casual way to their friends and families. When speaking casually, people tend to use a lot of informal or colloquial words, and also shorten and connect their phrases. They say things like “Hey, what’s up?” or “Hey! Whatcha been dion’?” These expressions are both common and natural, and make you seem like a native speaker. Using them may make people more interested in talking to you. This type of English is more like what you will
hear in movies and TV shows. Speaking this way makes native speakers feel more relaxed and you will sound like a friendly person who speaks English well. You got that, buddy?
formal formally casual common native relaxed friendly

IV. Speaking Out
Model 1 It’s nice to meet you.
Now Your Turn
Michael: Hi1 My name is Michael. Nice to meet you.

Michael: OK, Bob. Are you an international student here?
Robert: Yes, I got here last week. I’m from Canada.
Michael: So, we’re going to be in the same dorm.
Model 2 How are you doing?
Now Your Turn
Joe: Hi, Jack.
Jack: Hello, Joe. How are you doing?
Joe: I’m just fine, thanks. How about you?
Jack: Good. Well, you see, I’m planning to take chemistry this semester. Can you recommend a professor?
Joe: Dr. Smith, of course. They say he’s a prominent professor in chemistry.
Model 3 I’d like you to meet my friend.
Now Your Turn
Jason: Hi, Jane. I’d like you to meet my friend, Mike. Mike, this is Jane.
Michael: Glad to meet you.
Jane: Glad to meet you, too.

Jane: Thank you. I enjoy watching him playing tennis, too.
Michael: Excuse me. I have an appointment, so I’m afraid I must go now. Very nice meeting you.
Jane: Same here. Bye!
V. Let’s Talk
Michael: Hi! I saw you yesterday with John. We room together. I’m Michael.
Jane: Oh, hi, Mike. How are you doing?
Michael: I’m okay, but school has been really hectic since I came. I haven’t even had a chance to breathe!
Jane: I know. It’s especially crazy when you’re a freshman. Hey, what’s your major?
Michael: Travel and tourism.
Jane: Well, what do you plan to do after you graduate?
Michael: Uh… I really haven’t decided. I think I’d like to work for a travel agency in this area. What about you?
Jane: Well, when I first started college. I majored in physics, but later I realized I might have a hard time finding a job in that field. I ended up changing to computer scienc e. Finding a job in the IT industry shouldn’t be as difficult.
Michael: Have you got a part=time job to support yourself through school? Jane: Well, I’m on a four-year scholarship that pays my tuition.
Michael: Wow, lucky you!
Jane: Yeah. How about you? Are you paying for school yourself?
Michael: Sort of. I work weekends at travel agency.
Jane: A travel agency? That seems like a perfect experience for you! What do you
do there?
Michael: I’m a tour guide. I show tour groups around the city.
Jane: Wow, your English must be pretty good then.
Michael: Actually, they’re all Chinese tourists. That’s why I got the job!
For Reference
a
A, say what you think about college life.
Hi, John. Life on campus is really exciting! It’s totally different form high school.
B, give your opinion of A’s view.
Yeah. I feel the same. It’s an entirely new world.
A, tell B your problem and the cause for that.
Well, my problem is this: I major in Engineering, but I want to work in a foreign trade company.
So, I decide to spend m ore time on English. But, it’s hard, you know, to manage your time.
B, give your opinion of what A says, and tell him/her about your situation.
I think you made the right decision. Actually, I have the same problem. You know, I’m majoring
in computer scien ce, but I don’t like it very much. I’m really fond of travel and tourism, and I am considering changing my major, if it’s possible.
A, comment on B’s word.
Why? Computer science is cool! You’re sure to get a big salary in your future job!
B
A, tell B about your problem.
Hi, john. I’m having a hard time paying my tuition.
B, Show your sympathy.
Oh, I’m sorry to hear that. Have any way to get money?
A, say your plan to solve the problem.
I am considering a part-time job. I think it will help pay my tuition and give me useful experience.
B, Give your opinion of A’s plan, and tell him/her about your experience.
Right. Actually, I’m working part-time at a chain store now. It does bring in some money, but I think experience is more important.
VI. Further Listening and Speaking

Task 1: University Life
University life is a new and different experience for me. First of all, living at the university gives me a sense of responsibility, of being on my own. My parents aren’t around to say, “No, you’re not going out tonight.” I decide everything for myself. Being around lots of friendly people is another aspect I like about university life. On my first say, when I arrived on campus, I was a bit confused about where I was going. An upperclassman noticed out I was looking for my dorm, he said, “Oh, just follow me; that’s where I’m going.” Now, I can really say that I feel comfortable in the dorm because there are so many friendly people around to talk with. Finally, I LOVE HAVING Fridays off; I would not be able to deal with five days of classes in a row. How did I do it in high school? I love sleeping in on Fridays. I guess I’m sort of a party animal, but it seems like I go out every Thursday night. It also seems like I don’t get home until early the next day1 My hea d hits the pillow and I don’t move until Friday afternoon.
1. new and different
2. on his own
3. a bit confused
4. talk with
5. sleep in
Task 2: Key to Learning English
I think one of the most important keys to learning English id to establish a regular study program, like planning a few minutes every morning around breakfast time. This idea may sound a little too simple to the learners, because they took English in high school for a quite a few years, but they didn’t become p roficient speakers of the language. As a matter of fact I do not mean that we can become fluent speakers with just a few minutes here and there, but following a regular and consistent course of study can help us on the way to language mastery. In other words, people need to plan out their study by setting realistic and attainable goals from the beginning. Some people get caught up in the craze of learning the language on 30 days, only to give up when they can’t perform up to their expectations. And small st eps little by little, are the key. For example, planning to learn to use them actively—is far better than learning 30 and forgetting them the next day.

Task 3: Listening Effectively
Through it is 50% of everyday communication, listening, it seems, is the least taught. Listening is more than just hearing: it requires understanding. In an educational setting, listening effectively is critical. Effective listening results in doing the right assignment, doing the assignment correctly, and taking notes effectively. Doing these activities well results in learning and, most of the time, good grades. In a professional setting, listening is also critical. When you receive an oral message, your response must be correct. If you fail to listen to customers or clients, you may lose their business, and your job! Ina personal setting, listening effectively deepens your relationships. When we listen to someone, we say “You are important” without ever speaking a word. When we fail to listen, not on ly do we not receive the message, but we send the message that we are just plain dumb.

Unit 1-Conversation 1**（1）Janet: So this is the Cherwell Boathouse — it's lovely! And look at those people punting! It looks quite easy. Mark: I'm not so sure about that! Janet, there's something Kate and I wanted to discuss with you. Some people in college are organizing charity events this term. We've decided to get involved. Janet: Raising money for charity Right. In China, people raise money for charity but students don't usually do that. Mark: Students often do that here. Anyway, we're thinking of doing sponsored punting. Janet: Sponsored punting! What's that Kate: Sponsoring is when people pay you to do something — like run a long distance. So people would be sponsoring students to punt. Janet: What a great idea! I'd love to join you! Mark: That's why we're telling you about it. So that's decided then. Let's make a list of things we need to do. Kate: I'll do that. One of the first things we should do is choose the charity. Mark: Yes. And choose a day for the event. And we need to design the sponsorship form. I've got one here. Kate: That looks fine, but we must change the wording. Who wants to do that Mark: I'll do that. What have we got so far Kate: Choose a charity. Also a day for the event. Change the wording on the sponsorship form... Um ...
Unit 6-Conversation 1 Janet: What are you reading, Kate Kate:Alice in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll. Do you know it Janet: I've heard of it, yes, but I've never read it. It's a 19th century children's story, isn't it K a te: That's right. It's very famous. It's set in Oxford. It starts with this young girl sitting on a river bank. The interesting thing is, the author, Lewis Carroll, he was an Oxford professor and he used to have tea with the girl's family on this river bank. Ja net: Oh, that's fascinating! I'll put it into my diary. Kate: Is that what you're writing I know you've been keeping a diary all the year. Janet: It's been a great year. I've had such a good time — so lucky to have Mark and Kate as friends. Feel I've been doing well with work. Much happier about asking questions in tutorials. Janet: My screen's gone dark. Mark: You're using the battery, remember. It's run out, obviously. Janet: It can't be the battery. It's still charged. Oh no it's still black. Oh dear, I hope it's nothing serious. I haven't backed anything up recently. Kate: That's not like you, Janet. Janet:I know, but I lost my memory stick. I really should have backed things up. How stupid of me not to do that! Supposing I've lost everything! Mark: Let me take a look. The power is still on. And also the operating system still seems to be working ... I think it has to be the graphics card ... But maybe that's not the problem ... Janet: If only I'd backed things up! Kate: Relax, Janet! We'll take it to the computer shop this afternoon. I'm sure it'll be OK. Janet: I hope so. Unit 6-Conversation 2 Janet: Tell me about Alice in Wonderland. Kate: I tell you what, I'll read it to you. Kate: Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank and having nothing to do: Once or twice, she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, "and what is the use of a book," thought Alice, "without pictures or conversation" So she was considering in her own mind (as well as she could, for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid) ... Janet: Kate, Mark, where are you going You've got my laptop! Kate: It's all right, Janet, we're taking it to the computer shop. We'll be back soon. Mark: It's not like Janet to forget to back up her work. Kate: She should have been more careful. Janet: It was stupid of me, I know! Stupid, stupid! Janet: Oh! It was a dream! What a relief! Kate: You were talking in your sleep. Janet: What was I saying Kate: "Stupid, stupid." M ark: I've sorted out your computer. Janet: Have you Oh, thank goodness! What was the problem Mark:It was the graphics card, as I predicted ... Janet: Is that what it was! I'm so relieved! Thanks, Mark. Kate: He's great, isn't he Janet: Yes. So are you, Kate. Kate: You're such a good friend. Unit 6-Outside view Computers are a very important part of our lives. They tell us about delays to transport. They drive trains, analyze evidence and control buildings. Did you know that 60 per cent of homes in Britain have got a PC (a personal computer) For many young people, playing computer games is their favorite way of spending spare time. Computers are a very important part of most areas of life in Britain-libraries, the police and in school. But they are becoming more important in our homes as well. They’ll even control the way we live-in “smart homes” or computer-controlled houses. The smart home is now a real possibility. It will become very common. A central computer will adjust the temperature, act as a burglar alarm and switch on lights, ready for you to come back home. And of course you will be able to give new instructions to the computer from your mobile phone. So if your plans change, your home will react to match. Many homes have got lots of televisions and several computers. The smart home will provide TV and Internet sockets in every room, so you’ll be able to do what you want whenever you want. If the temperature outside changes, the smart home will adjust the temperature levels inside. The computer will also close the blinds when it gets dark or to stop so much sun from entering a room. And if you want to eat when you get home, the computer will turn the oven on for you! Are computers taking over our lives In a survey, 44 per cent of young people between 11 and 16 said their PC was a trusted friend. Twenty per cent said they were happier at their computer than spending time with family or friends. Another survey found that people in Britain spend so much time on the phone, texting and reading emails that they no longer have time for conversation. What do you think about that Unit 6-Listening in

Jay: It's called "The Titanic of the Sky." It's about the Hindenburg, a great engineering feat. Elise: The Hindenburg ... Jay: You know, that giant zeppelin that crashed in 1934. Thirty-five people died. Elise: Oh yeah, I remember now. It was flying from Germany to the United States. It crashed as it was landing. Jay: Right. It's so funny looking, don't you think? It doesn't look anything like the airplanes as have today. Elise: That's true. Why would people ride in a zeppelin anyway? It seems so dangerous. Jay: Well, some people called the Hindenburg "man's greatest achievement in flight." They thought it was safe, I guess. Elise: Who rode in it anyway? Jay: Mostly wealthy people. It accommodated between 30 and 40 passengers and crew. One person said it was like a "flying hotel." Eise: It sounds pretty great. Jay: Yeah, and it was fast. That's why people rode it. They wanted to get to their destination faster. Elise: Why didn't they just take a jet plane? Jay: Elise! You know they didn't have jets back then. Look, in 1934 it took five days to travel from Germany to the U.S. by ship. The zeppelin could do it in half that time. It was speedy. Elise: Well, maybe I'll sit down and watch a little bit. Maybe I'll learn something ... Tr a ck 4-1-O L-2 B. Listen again. How was the zeppelin described? Check your answers. Track 4-1-OL-3 A. Listen to the conversation and check the correct picture.

T r a c k4-1-O L-4 Listen to another person talking about famous buildings in his country and fill in the blanks with information you hear. My country has two very famous buildings called the Petronas Towers. The buildings are made of glass, steel, and concrete. They were designed by an American architect, but he used a Malaysian style. They were finished in 1998, and they were the tallest buildings in the world at that time. Each tower has 88 floors, and is 452 meters high. I really like the Petronas Towers. They show both the modern and the traditional side of my country. T r a c k4-1-O L-5 A. Listen to a talk on controversies about modern buildings. Then fill in the blanks to complete the sentences. Modern buildings: We love them, We hate them The world-famous Louvre Museum in Paris is almost 500 years old, and it faced a very modern problem: There simply wasn't enough space for six million visitors each year. In 1989, American architect I.M. Pei designed a striking glass pyramid in the building's center to be a visitor entrance and shopping arcade. But he also started an angry debate. Some people felt his glass building was a piece of art, like the ones inside the museum. Others said it was just an ugly, modern mistake. Kyoto, Japan, is the country's ancient capital, and the heart of its culture. Its railroad station was too small for the millions of visitors. In 1997, the city completed a new station in a huge shopping center, right in the oldest part of the city. Designed by Hiroshi Hara, the building also contains a hotel and department store. Before it was built, critics said that the high, wide, modern building would destroy the city's traditional look. On the other hand, supporters said it would bring new life into the city center.
