W: Yes, there are.
Conversation 2
W: Do you like the zoo?
M: Yes, I was so excited to see the pandas at last.
W: But it’s sad to think about all those animals in danger. It makes me unhappy.
M: We need to protect them better.
W: And it just isn’t right to kill the animals.
M: Yes, but it’s hard to stop killing.
W: And animals have no place to live in. Our villages and farms are growing bigger.
M: Also often there water isn’t good to drink because we’ve made it dirty.

M: Well, the term is almost over now. Do you have a plan for summer?
W: Yes. My sister is coming for a visit. And we’d like to go to the beach. But the hotels are so expensive
in this season.
M: Then, camping might be a good choice.
W: Camping? I’ve never thought about that.
M: Oh, you’ll like it. It’s cheaper and closer to nature.
W: Good idea! It’s a good way to forget our school work for a while.
M: Right. Wish you a nice trip there!
Monologue
My friend Mike is a student. Last summer he went to France and stayed there for two months. I was surprised that Mike could have a very long holiday because he didn’t have any money. But he told me that he got a job. He taught an owner of a small shop. I knew Mike couldn’t teach him well, but the owner wanted to practice his English. He had a lot of American customers, so it is very important for him to speak English. Mike spent three hours a day talking to him. The owner gave him a room, three meals a day and a little pocket money. When Mike came back, he told us that the owner didn’t learn much English but he learnt a lot of French.
C) Listen and complete the sentences.
听短文，填空。请听一段短文，将听到的信息，填入空格，短文读两遍。
Two years ago, I didn’t like reading very much. I had plenty of time, but I spent lots of time playing computer games. When I was very young, I didn’t think reading books was interesting, because I found nothing more interesting than computer games.
I’ve changed now. I enjoy reading novels, because there’re lots of interesting stories. I love to read Harry potter. That’s a good novel. I know that it is one of the most popular books in the world.
Maybe you can find the interesting things in a book, so don’t waste your time on the computers any more. If you read very much, you will know much about the world.
