Module 1 How to learn English
Unit 1 Let’t s ry to speak English as much as possible.
Ms James: Welcome back, everyone! Todayw, e’regoing 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 ’t s r y to speak English as much as possible.
Daming: Why not write down the mistakes in our notebooks?
Ms James:That ’a s good idea. Anddon’f t orget to write down the correct answers next to the mistak es. What else?
Lingling: It ’a s 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 ’g o s od for our pronunciation too. But there are so many new word. Ms James: Y ou don’n t eed to understand every word. You just need to listen for key words and main ideas. Daming: That ’t s h e 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’w t e try to find some English 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.
Many students ask for advice about how to improve their English. Here are three basic questions.
The first question is about understanding English films and songs. Li Hao from Hubei wrote“,I l i ke watching English films and listening to English songs, but I can only understand a little. What ca n I do?”
Watching films and listening to songs are great way to learn English! Watch and listen several tim es, 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 with your friends.
The second question is about speaking. Wang Fan from Jilin wrote“, O u s r chool has a teacher fro m the US. I am shy and I am afraid to speak to her. What shoulddIo?”
You can say,“Hello!How are you?”“Doyou like China? ”These are good ways to start a conversat ion. 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 down 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 five words a day on piec es of paper and place them in your room. Read the words when you see them, and try to use them.
Module 2 My home town and my country
Unit 1 It ’t a s ller than many other buildings.
Tony: Hey, Daming! How was your weekend?
Daming: Pretty good! I went to Shenzhen.
Tony: Where’s Shenzhen?
Daming: Well, it ’o s n the coast near Hong Kong. It was a small village about thirty years ago, but to day it ’a s very big city.
Tony: So it ’a s newer city than Hong Kong?
Daming: Yes,it ’a s newer city. In fact, it only became important in the1980s.It ’g e s tting bigger and busier. Some day it will become as busy as Hong KongI,’m sure.
Tony: What’s the population of Shenzhen?
Daming: It ’o s v er ten million, I think. That ’la s rger than the population of many other cities in Chin a. Its streets are much wider and cleaner too. I thinkit ’a s beautiful city.
Tony: I ’d like to go to there one day.
Daming: Remember to visit the Diwang Tower.It ’ta s ller than many other buildings 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 for its university. Many famous people studied here, such as Isaac Newton and Charles Darwin. There are lots of old buildings and church es 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 Riv er Thames. It has a population of about seven and a half million, so it is bigger and busier than Cam bridge. It is about 2,000 years old, and it is famous for Big Ben, Buckingham Palace and Tower Bri dge.
England itself is a part of an island, and you are always near the sea. The small villages and bea ches on the coast are popular for holidays. Tourists like the areas of low and beautiful lakes in the n orth, and the hills and pretty villages in the south. Everywhere in England you will notice how gree
n the countryside is.
It is never very hot in summer or very cold in winter. So come and see England any time of the ye ar, but bring an umbrella with you. You will need it most days.
Module 3 Sports
Unit 1 Nothing is more exciting than playing tennis.
Daming: Hey, Tony. Come and watch the football match on T V.
Tony: OK. What’s the score?
Daming: Spain scored a minute ago.
Tony: Wow! That ’f s a st!
Daming: That ’s right. Last week the match on TV was so boring because no one scored at all. So thi s 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 ’te s nnis match. And I hurt my knee.
Daming: That ’t s o o bad! Sit down and watch the match.It ’s s a fer 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 tennis.
Betty: But you enjoyed watching the Olympics on TV, right?
Tony: Yes, butthat ’b e s cause it was cheaper than buying tickets for all the games.
Daming: And staying at home was easier than going to the stadium. Oh, look at that!
Tony: Oh, he missed! Oh, bad luck!
Daming: Never mind. There’s s till plenty of time for them to score.
Unit2 This year we practice more carefully.
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 are going to play against another sch ool next week. The practice starts at 10 am. We all arrive as early as we can so that w e have time to warm up. We are training harder than usual because the other team bea t us last year. This year we want to do better.
It is more difficult to practise in winter because the days are short and the weather is cold too. It gets dark earlier, so it is important not to be late for after-school practic e.
Our coach is pleased because we are playing better as a team now. Last year we w ere sometimes careless when we passed the ball and we lost to the other team in the fi nal match. What a pity! This year we practise more carefully. That means we have a b etter chance of winning.
The fan club has fewer people this year. We hope to play well so that we have mo re fans to watch the matches. It is good to have our fans around. They cheer us on lou dly and we feel more confident to win 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 was very heavy. But n obody was late, except me. Maybe I should go to school by taxi.
Mum: It ’th s e most comfortable way, butit ’a s l so the most expensive.
Betty: Then what about going by bike?
Mum: That ’a s good choice, butit ’a s bit dangerous.There ’s s o much traffic.
Betty: But most of my classmates ride bikes, andit ’q s u ite safe.Don’t worry. I ’blle c arefull.
Mum: How does Tony go to school?
Betty: He lives the farthest from school, so he takes the underground.
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. Buitt ’so s crowded! And the traffic is hea vy.
Mum: All right. You can ride your bike to school, but remember to be careful all the ti me.
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 the journey ta ke and what is the best way to travel? Could you please tell me about the trains or shi ps to get there? The more information, the better. Thanks!
Best answer: There are four ways to travel.
A journey by train is more relaxing than by coach, but a lot more expensive. When you go by train, buy your ticket a long time before you travel. It is usually cheaper.
You can go by car and by ship across the North Sea. This is the most comfortable way to travel but also the most expensive. Book your ticket before you book your hot el. Remember that parking in Amsterdam is very expensive, so stay outside the city c entre and travel in by bus or by train.
The third choice is by coach. This is usually the cheapest, but in summer the coach es sometimes get crowded! And it takes you about twelve hours to get there. However , it will not cost as much as going 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 weather.
Well, I hope this helps! Have a great trip.
Module 5 Lao She Teahouse

Lingling: Did you like the zoo?
Betty: Yes! I saw the pandas at last! But I am more interested to see the pandas in the Wolong Panda Reserve, because it allows people to get closer to them.
Lingling: It ’s s a d to think of the pandas and other animals in danger.
Betty: We need to protect them better.

a) Nature parks for pandas
b) WWF And animals in danger
c) The panda’h s ome
d) An animal in danger
1
Pandas are in danger. There are only about 1,600 pandas living in the wild today. Zoos and research centres are looking after about 340 pandas. Pandas do not have m any babies, and baby pandas often die. The situation is getting very difficult. Scientist are doing a lot of research to help pandas produce more babies and help baby pandas live.
2
Pandas live in the forests and mountains of Southwest China. Each panda needs to eat a lot of bamboo every day. The bamboo forests are getting smaller, so pandas ar e losing their home. And there are not many pandas left.
3
In order to protect pandas in the wild, the government is setting up nature parks and developing other plans. The nature parks will be big and there will be more bamb oo to feed the pandas. Pandas born in zoos may go back to live in the nature parks.
4
The World Wild Fund for Nature (WWF) wants to protect all animals. And it cho
se the panda to be its symbol. We do not want to lose tigers, elephants, or any other a nimals, so the WWF is working hard to save them all.

Unit 2
Jo is fifteen and lives in Parkville.
When Jo’g s randparents first came to Parkville, it was a quiet village. They had a small house. Close to fields md hills. Parkville was near Arnwick, a city with 200,00 0 people. People from Parkville moved to Armwick to find jobs. And they needed p laces to live.
However, it was expensive to live in the city centre, so the government built flats o utside the centre. Soon, Parkville became part of Arnwick.And Arnwick became a ci ty with over a million people. Jo’f s amily lives in one of those flats. It is very crowde d, and rubbish is also a problem.
The small local school in Parkville closed down five years ago, so Jo now has to g o to a school in Arnwick with 2,000 pupils. It takes an hour to get there by bus. There is a lot of traffic and pollution. It is clear that Arnwick needs more schools, buses and hospitals. It needs fresh air clean water and better public services. It also needs mor e police to protect its people. But to do all these things, it needs more money.
However, can money help solve all these problems? Do we need more big cities l ike this? In fact, this is just a story. In fact, this is just a story.
But it describes what is happening all over the world. Could it be your town some day?

Tony: Are you joking? It’s really cold today.
Daming: And it’s cloudy too so it might snow.
Lingling: What ’s the temperature?
Tony: It ’b s etween minus eight and minus two degrees! Winter is colder here than i E ngland.
Daming: Is it snowy in England in December?

Lingling: You can go to Hainan lsland if you like sunny weather.
Betty: One day I will.
Lingling: Come on, better get going! We can skate in the park and get warm.
Unit 2 The weather is fine all year round.
The US is a very big country.
It is about 3,000 miles from the east coast to the west coast, so choose carefully the places to see and the time to go. Bring a map because you may want to travel aroun d. New York and Washington D.C. are good places to visit in May or October, but in winter there is a lot of snow.
The best time to visit New England is in September.
The weather gets cooler, and the green leaves start to turn gold, then brown. Brin g your camera so you can take photos of the autumn trees.California is on the Pacific coast, and the weather is fine all year round. Take your swimming clothes because y ou might want to go swimming in the sea, even in December.
In Seattle, in the northwest, it is not very cold but it rains a lot, so bring an umbrell a.
In Alaska the days are long and warm in summer, but may be cool in the evening. In winter, Alaska can be very very cold. If you want to visit Alaska, you had better go i

In Texas and the southeast, it is usually very hot and sunny compared to other plac es. There are storms from time to time in summer and autumn.
So when is the best time to visit the US? Any time you like!
Module 11 Way of life
Unit 1 In China, we open a gift later
Betty: Happy birthday, Lingling.
Daming: Here’s your gift.
Lingling: Oh, you remembered! What a surprise!
Tony: You can open it!
Lingling: I don ’t think I should open it now. In China, we open a gift later.
Betty: But back in the US, we open a gift immediately.
Lingling: So what do I do?
Betty: You needn’t wait!
(Lingling opens her present and finds a dictionary.)
Lingling: Oh, thank you. I really wanted one.
Betty: We’re happy you like it.
Tony: I noticed another difference. In China, you accept a gift with both hands. But in the West, we usuallydon’p t ay much attention to that.
Betty: That ’in s teresting! I ’m interested to know all the Chinese traditions. Tell me m ore.
Lingling: There are a lot. For example, in my home town, people say youmustn’d t o any cleaning on the first day of the Spring Festival. And youmustn’b t reak anything.
It ’b s a d luck!
Daming: You must only use red paper for hongbao because red means luck. A n y o d u’d better not cut your hair during the Spring Festival month.
Daming: And in the north of China, people eat lots of jiaozi!
Betty: Perfect! They taste great.
Tony: I like eating jiaozi too. Anyway, the Spring Festival is still over a month away. Let’s celebrate Lingling’s birthday first!
Unit 2 In England you usually drink tea with milk.
My experiences in England. I went to England last year. I enjoyed my stay, and I noticed something interesting with the English way of life.For example, you must say
Mr or Mrs when you meet someone for the first time. When you get to know each ot her better or when they ask you to, you can just use their first names.
One day we visited some friends and had afternoon tea together. Afternoon tea is n ot just a drink but a light meal at around 4 pm. We ate sandwiches and a large fruit c ake.
In England you usually drink tea with milk.So I tried to drink tea with milk too.
Fish and chips is the traditional food in England. You can buy it and eat it in special fi sh and chip shops on the high street, or you can take it away and eat it with your finge rs. It is delicious!
At the bus stop you must not push your way onto the bus. You need to stand in a line behind the other people and wait your turn. Sometimes people are slow to get o n the bus.
Once I noticed a gentleman touch a young man on the shoulder, smile politely and say,“Excuseme! Are you waiting for this bus?”He was really polite.
Module 12 Help
Unit1 What should we do before help arrives?
Ms James: This mornings class is about first aid, or giving someone basic medical help. Let’s imagine an accident. A boy is lying at the bottom of the stairs. He i s’n
t moving or making a sound. He is in pain. What can we do to help him?
Betty: First of all, find out what ’s wrong with him.
Ms James: How do we do that?
Betty: Ask him.
Ms James: Ok. But he could have trouble hearing you or speaking to you. Lingling: Shout for help? Call 120?
Ms James: Good idea, but what should we do before help arrives?
Tony: Make him comfortable.
Ms James: And how can we do that?
Tony: Lift him up and sit him on a chair?
Ms James: No, that could be harmful! You could drop him and hurt him even more. B etty, you must know! You did some basic medical training.
Betty: Make sure he’s warm. Cover him with a coat.
Ms James: Tha’t s such good advice that you could be a doctor, Betty!
Unit 2 Stay away from windows and heavy furniture.
What to do in an earthquake
Earthquakes always happen suddenly, so it is difficult to warn people about them. Usually people have little or no idea about what to do during an earthquake, so here is some advice. Inside Do not jump out of high buildings. Hide under a table. Stay awa y from windows and heavy furniture. Keep clear of fires. Leave the building quickly when the ground stops shaking, but do not use the lift.Keep calm, especially when yo u are with other people. Be brave and be helpful.
Outside Move away from buildings, because parts of a building may fall on you. Do not stand near street lights or under power lines. Stay away from bridges and tree s. If you are in a bus or car, stay in it.In the mountains, be careful of falling rocks.On
a beach, run away from the sea and move quickly to higher ground.
In short, follow what you learnt in school. You can be safe and you can also help save others
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? Wh o 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 answers next to the mistakes. What el se? 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 nee d to understand every word. You just need to listen 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 throu gh reading. Lingling: I think writing is also important. Why don’t we try to find some English 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. Many students ask for advice about how to improve their English. Here are three basic questions. The first question is about understanding English films and songs. Li Hao from 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 gue ss the meaning of the new words. Each time you will learn something new. I also advise you to talk about the fil ms or songs with your friends. The second question is about speaking. Wang Fan from Jilin wrote, “Our school has a teacher from the US. I am shy and I am afraid to speak to her. What should I do?” You can say, “Hello! How are you?”“Do you like China?” These are good ways to start a conversation. And be fore 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 down new words, but I forget the m quickly. How can I remember them?” Do not worry. It is natural to forget new words! I suggest you write four or five words a day on pieces of paper and place them in your room. Read the words when you see them, and try to use them. Module 2 My home town and my country Unit 1 It’s taller than many other buildings. Tony: Hey, Daming! How was your weekend? 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 thirty years ago, but today it’s a ve ry big city. Tony: So it’s a newer city than Hong Kong?

初二上册 Module 1 Unit 1 让我们尽可能多地讲英语同学们，欢迎回来！ 今天，我们打算谈论一下学习英语的好方法。 准备好了吗？ 谁有一些建议? 在课堂上我们应该总是讲英语。 好！让我们尽可能多地讲英语。 为什么不在我们的笔记本上记下错误呢？ 那是个好主意，而且不要忘记在错误旁边写上正确的答案。 还有其他的什么吗？ 每天大声拼读生词是一个好主意。 非常感谢你，玲玲。听广播怎么样？ 是的，那也有益于我们的发音。但有很多生词。 你们不必理解每个单词（的含义）。你们只需要听关键词和主要意思。 阅读也一样。英语故事如此有趣。通过阅读我逐渐了解了世界上的许多事情。 我认为写作也很重要。我们为什么不尽量去找些讲英语的笔友呢？我们可以给他们写信。太棒了！我同意你（的提议）。 Unit 2 你应该向她微笑！
很多学生咨询如何提高他们英语水平的建议。 这儿是三个基本问题。 第一个问题是关于理解英文电影和歌曲的问题。 来自湖北的李浩写道：“我喜欢看英文电影，听英文歌曲，但我只能理解一点儿。我可以怎么做呢？”看电影和听歌曲是学习英语的很好的方式！ 看上或听上几遍，并猜测生词的含义。 每一遍你都会学到新东西。 我还建议你和朋友们谈论一下这些电影或歌曲。 第二个问题是关于说的。 来自吉林的王帆写道：“我们学校有一位来自美国的老师。我很腼腆，不敢与她说话。我该怎么办呢？”你可以说：“嗨！你好吗？”“你喜欢中国吗？”这些都是展开交谈的好方式。 在你开始（讲英语）前，你应该向她微笑！ 记住这一点：不要害羞，去试一试。 第三个问题是关于词汇的。 来自安徽的张雷写道：“我写下生词，但我很快就忘记了它们。我怎样才能记住它们呢？” 不用担心，忘记生词是很自然的！ 我建议你每天把4个或5个单词写在纸片上并放在你的房间里。 看到这些单词的时候就读一读，并且尽量使用它们。 Module 2 我的家乡和我的国家 Unit 1 它比许多其他建筑物都高。 嘿，大明！你的周末过得怎么样？ 很好！我去深圳了。
