6、veryone. Id like to welcome you to City University. Im Betty Russell and I work in the International Students Office. I have some important information for you. First, you must enroll by August 28th. Pick up your ID card at our office. Then, youll need to pick up a library card so that you can borro
7、w books from the library. Show them your ID card in the library and they will do it for you. You may be thinking about the sports facilities at our School. Theres no charge for student use, but of course youll have to show your ID card. Concerning the medical assistance, the University has its own h
8、ealth center, and all services are free for enrolled students. (124 words) Key: 1 B 2.D 3. B 4.C 5.A Task 2 Living on Campus (M=man W=woman) M: Hi, Lisa. Hows life on campus? W: Hi, John. Oh, not so bad. Pretty good in fact. - 1 - M: Is that what you think? I mean, do you like living on campus? W: Y
9、eah, I enjoy living here because theres so many people around and its 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 youll find it quite convenient. The library, labs, sports center and other facilities are right on campus. M: Th
10、ats true. The atmosphere here is different from the outside. But I guess living in town has its advantages too, like being close to the shopping center. You know, our university is so far from downtown. W: But the commuting to classes. I mean, you would have to get up so early to get to classes on t
11、ime. And then going home would be so much time. M: Yeah, but the food here., it seems its 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. Task 3 Learning to speak English Hello, how are you? When mos
12、t 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 dont speak to each other in such a formal way. They speak in a casual way to their friends an
13、d 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, whats up? or Hey! Whatcha been doin? These expressions are both common and natural, and make you seem like a native speaker. Using them m
14、ay 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? ( 159 words) Key: formal; f
15、ormally; casual; common; native; relaxed; friendly Task 4: An Announcement May I have your attention, please? The library will be closing in five minutes.

16、chael. Jane: Oh, hi, Mike. How are you doing? Michael: Im okay, but school has been really hectic since I came. I havent even had a chance to breathe! Jane: I know. Its especially crazy when youre a freshman. Hey, whats your major? Michael: Travel and tourism. Jane: Well, what do you plan to do afte
17、r you graduate? Michael: Uh. I really havent decided. I think Id 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 s
18、cience. Finding a job in the IT industry shouldnt be as difficult. Michael: Have you got a part-time job to support yourself through school? Jane: Well, Im 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
19、: Sort of. I work weekends at a travel agency. Jane: A travel agency? That seems like a perfect experience for you! What do you do there? Michael: Im a tour guide. I show tour groups around the city. Jane: Wow, your English must be pretty good then. Michael: Actually, theyre all Chinese tourists. Th

21、 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 more time on English. But, its 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 dec
22、ision. Actually, I have the same problem. You know, Im majoring in computer science, but I dont like it much.

24、nd give me useful experience. B, give your opinion of As plan, and tell him/her about your experience. Right. Actually, Im working part-time at a chain store now. It does bring in some money, but 1 think experience is more important. VI. Further Listening and Speaking Listening Task 1 University lif
25、e 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 arent around to say, No, youre not going out tonight. I decide everything for myself. Being around lots of friendly people is another
26、aspect I like about university life. On my first day, when I arrived on campus, I was a bit confused about where I was going. An upperclassman noticed me and asked, Are you a new student? When he found out I was looking for my dorm, he said, Oh, just follow me; thats where Im going. Now, I can reall
27、y say that I feel comfortable in the dorm because there are so many friendly people around to talk with. Finally, I 10ve 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 Im sort of a party anima
28、l, but it seems like I go out every Thursday night. It also seems like I dont get home until early the next day! My head hits the pillow and I dont move until Friday afternoon. (210 words) Key: 1. College life is a new and different experience for the speaker. 2. College life gives him a sense of re
29、sponsibility, of being on his own. 3. He was a bit confused about where he was going. 4. There are friendly people around to talk with. 5. He likes to sleep in, something he couldnt do in high school. Task 2 Key to learning English I think one of the most important keys to learning English is to est
30、ablish 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 quite a few years, but they didnt become proficient speakers of the language. As a matter of fact I d
31、o 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, - 3 - people need to plan out their study by setting realistic and attainable goals from the beginn
32、ing. Some people get caught up in the craze of learning the language in 30 days, only to give up when they cant perform up to their expectations. And small steps, little by little, are the key. For example, planning to learn five new vocabulary words a day-and to learn to use them actively- is far b
33、etter than learning 30 and forgetting them the next day. Key: 1. T 2. F 3. F 4. F. 5. T Task 3 Listening Effectively Though 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, listen
34、ing 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 re
35、ceive 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! In a personal setting, listening effectively deepens your relationships. When we listen to someone, we say You are important without ever speaking a word. W
36、hen we fail to listen, not only do we not receive the message, but we send the message that we are just plain dumb. Key: 1. B 2. D. 3. A 4. B 5. D Speaking Reference for introducing yourself: Good morning! My name is Wang Ping. I was born in a small town in Xian. My parents are both teachers in a high school. I have quite a few hobbies: collecting stamps, playing football, swimming, hiking and so on. I have a wide collection of stamps, covering most of the countries in the world, if youre interested, Ill be really glad to share with you my rare specimen sometime. - 4 -
