and mm, it tastes good.
Daming: What’s that on top?
Betty: Oh, that’s cheese. Do you want to try a piece?

James: Let’s go home. I don’t like this party.
Helen: Why? I’m having a great time. The music is
good, isn’t it?
James: Well, I think it’s terrible. It’s too loud, and it
sounds like noise, not music. And the room is
too hot for dancing, anyway.
Helen: Why don’t you have something to eat?
James: I don’t like party food. It has too much salt.
Helen: How about a drink then?
James: I tried some of the cola, but it’s too cold.
Helen: Well, you can talk to some people.Then you
might feel happier.
James: The people aren’t very friendly! Nobody is
talking to me at all.
Helen: Well, I’m not surprised, really. Maybe every-
one is afraid of talking to you! You look so
angry!
James: (Sigh)Maybe you’re right. I should try to be a
bit friendlier myself…

The plane tickets are too expensive.
Tony: Well, good luck! I’ve also entered lots of

and he’s very handsome too.
Tony: I don’t like it much, myself. The stories always
have happy endings.

Jerry. It’s funny!

to watch a cartoon.
Daming: Good idea, Tony. Let’s watch Superman!

watch Spiderman? It’s more modern.
Daming: I think Superman is better. He’s stronger than
Spiderman. He can fly through the sky and
fight bad people.
Tony: Spiderman can’t fly, but he climbs up buildings
with his hands and feet. That’s cool. I want to be
someone like him.
Daming: Well, Superman is brave. He keeps fighting
bad people. That’s a real hero!
Tony: I don’t think we agree.

are very funny. I can’t help laughing when I
watch them!

Tony: Well, he’s done something wrong! The policeman
wants to catch him.
Betty: I see. And then the man runs into the lift.
Tony: Yes, and this is the funny bit. It’s really clever!
The policeman could catch the man in the lift,
but he doesn’t. They both just stand there, wait-

toy cars.
Tony: That’s not easy. I’ve got so many toy cars now!
Tony’s mum: Yes, you have! You know, your dad
collected cars too when he was your
age. He also collected stamps.
Tony: Well, stamps are too expensive for me. But
I’ve collected a lot of tickets. Did you collect
anything when you were young, Mum?
Tony’s mum: Yes, I collected postcards and fans—
you know, Chinese fans.
Tony: I see.

Lingling: Hi, everyone! Come in and find somewhere
to sit down. Sorry, it’s a bit of a mess. I’ll
put the fans on the shelf.
Betty: Let me have a look. You’ve got so many fans.
Lingling: Yes, about sixty.
Lingling: Most of them are presents. People often
give me fans as presents because they know
I like them. Do you collect anything?
Betty: Yes, I collect coins and notes, you know, like
British pounds and US dollars.
Lingling: Coins? They must be really valuable. Can I
see them?
Betty: Sure! I’ll show you my stamps too. I’ve coll-
ected stamps from all over the world. I’ve got
six or seven books of stamps.
Tony: My hobby doesn’t cost as much as yours—I
collect tickets, bus tickets and train tickets!
Betty: You can’t do anything with old tickets!
Tony: I know, but when I look at them, I remember
some wonderful places.
Lingling: Right! Their value isn’t always important.
People also collect things just to remember
something important in their lives.

girls like doing?

Daming: Lingling and I are doing an English course
in LA this summer!
Betty: Oh, really? That’s great! How long will you
stay in LA?
Daming: About four weeks. It’s a good chance to
practise my English.
Betty: It sure is! But it’s also quite expensive to stay
in America for four weeks.
Daming：We are going in a group of 20, and we’ll all
stay with different families, so it won’t cost
so much.
Betty: That’s good to hear. I hope you have a great time!

（Lingling is preparing for her trip to LA.）

trip. I like to get things ready earlier. Can you
help me?

Lingling: Well, it sounds crazy, but I don’t know what to
take.
Betty: You should take notebooks, pens and a dictionary.
Lingling: OK. What clothes should I take to LA?
Betty: When are you leaving and how long are you
going to stay there?
Lingling: I’m leaving at the end of July and I’m going to
stay there for four weeks.
Betty: Shorts are good, or you can wear light trousers.
Lingling: I haven’t got any sunglasses. I’ll buy a pair
there.
Betty: That’s a good idea. But remember, many things
are more expensive in America. Have you got any
American dollars?
Lingling: Yes. Is 200 dollars enough?
Betty: If you’ve already paid for the air tickets and for
homestay, it should be OK.
Lingling: What else?
Betty: Your bag mustn’t weigh too much. You’d better
ask the travel company about the total weight for
all your bags. Oh, by the way, don’t forget to take
your passport.
Lingling: OK. Thank you.
Betty: You’re welcome. You’ll have a great time. Please
write to me and send me some photos!

the day there.
Tony: I guess it’s a very popular place. Will there be

Tony: Wow! It’s so quiet here that I can even hear
the birds singing! I can hardly believe we’re in
the city centre.
Lingling: This park is famous for its lake, bridges and
the ancient buildings on the hill. The lake
takes up over half of the park area. Let’s
walk along the lake, cross the bridge and
climb up the hill. Then I can point out the
sights of Beijing for you.
Tony: Yes, good idea. I’m sure it’ll be fantastic to see
the city from the top.
Daming: But I’m so tired, and it’s so hot here. I don’t
want to climb. The lake looks nice and cool.
Why don’t we go for a swim?
Lingling: I don’t think they allow people to swim in
the lake. It’s dangerous.
Daming: That’s too bad. Then why don’t we have our
picnic here? I’m so hungry and thirsty.
Lingling: I think it’s better to have our picnic at the
top of the hill.
Tony: Come on! Let’s not waste any more time.

group. There will be fifteen people altogether.
Mum: It sounds dangerous. Where are you going to
sleep? What are you going to do about food?
Will you be able to call me?
Girl: Don’t worry! We’re going to camp out. We’ll
cook our own food, and I’ll take my mobile
phone.
Mum: What about clothes? It’s going to be cold in
the mountains.
Girl: I’ll take lots of warm clothing.
Mum: I’m worried that you’ll fall and break your leg!

3 Listen and read.
Helpline: Hello, Friendship Helpline. Who’s calling,
please?
Lingling: Hello. This is Lingling speaking.
Helpline: Hi, Lingling! How can I help you?
Lingling: I have a problem with my best friend. She’s
called. . .
Helpline: No, don’t tell me who she is. Tell me when
the problem started.
Lingling: Yes. Well, we’ve been friends for five years.
We got separated when we went to different
schools last term, but we stayed in touch.
Helpline: So could you explain what happened then?
Lingling: This term, she came to study at my school. I
was so happy at first. But she’s so different.
Helpline: Can you tell me how she’s different?
Lingling: She doesn’t like me to see my other friends.
Helpline: Could I ask if you’ve mentioned this to her?
Lingling: Yes, but she refused to listen.
Helpline: OK. Do you know why she treats you like
that?
Lingling: No. I don’t know.
Helpline: Maybe she doesn’t feel very sure of herself
in her new school.
Lingling: Maybe.
Helpline: Try to find out whether she feels lonely
without you. I’m sure she regrets hurting
you. So be patient with her and explain to
other friends too. Try to introduce her to
them.
Lingling: I see. I’ll encourage her to join in more. Thanks.
Helpline: No problem, Lingling. You’re welcome!
7 Listen and choose the problem the speaker describes.
I’m Charlie. I’ve been best friends with Sam for over ten years — since we were young children. But now that we are older, we seem to be changing. We don’t have the same friendship any more, and I miss it. I want to stay friends with Sam, but I’m not sure it’s going to work. What should I do? Should I make new friends? Or should I try to get our friendship back again?
8 Now listen and number the pieces of advice in the order you hear them.
1
Boy 1: I just want to say to Charlie, best friends
come and go, you know. Nothing can stay
the same all the time, not even a long friendship
of ten years. When you grow up, you change.
You want different things. You are not the
same as you were ten years ago, and your
friend isn’t the same either. Don’t think
about the past so much.
2
Girl: When I was ten, my best friend moved away to
another town. Our friendship nearly ended, but
then I called her and told her how I felt. You
need to make sure Sam knows how you feel,
and if you are really good friends, then your
friendship will not end.
3
Boy 2: Do something special together, just you and
Sam. Plan a day to do something interesting.
Or just do things together that you enjoyed in
the past. You’ll see if there’s still some of that
old friendship left.

you’re listening to Radio Beijing, with the
latest news from China and around the

Russia arrived in Beijing today for a three-
day visit to China... Now for sports, and
we’re going over to Wang Lin for the latest

China and England. Wang Lin, can you
tell us what the score is?
Wang Lin: Yes, at the moment, the score is China 2,
England 1. China is winning, but there is
still half an hour to go. Back to you,

the result.

Chen Huan: Hi, everybody. I’m the news director
at Radio Beijing.
Lingling: Thank you for showing us around.
Chen Huan: No problem! Now, come this way. Look
at the red light. When it’s on, it means
we’re on air. And we should avoid
making any noise in the background!
Tony: OK.
Chen Huan: This is the newsroom. We collect the
latest national and international news
and write reports here. It gets crazy in
here just before the programme begins.
Lingling: How can I become a presenter？
Chen Huan: I think you need to speak English really
well. So keep studying, and I hope that
you can join us one day.
Tony: What about the sports news？
Chen Huan: That’s over there. And it is where we do
interviews with the big sports stars. Let’s
watch the presenter. Remember what I
said: we need to keep quiet if the red light
is on.
Presenter: Finally, we’ve just heard that Germany
has won the football match, 2-1 against
England.
Lingling: Hey！That’s great news！
Tony: No, it’s awful news!
All: Ssh!
Presenter: . . . And that’s the end of the six o’clock
news.
5 Listen and say what Kate’s job is.
Hello, everyone. I’m Kate. My day starts at about 10 am with a run in the park. I run for about an hour. At 11 am, I listen to the latest news on the radio. Then I meet my team and we prepare the programme.
6 Listen again and complete Kate’s timetable.
Hello, everyone. I’m Kate. My day starts at about 10 am with a run in the park. I run for about an hour. At 11 am, I listen to the latest news on the radio. Then I meet my team and we prepare the programme.
My programme starts at 4 pm and finishes at 7:30 pm. Before I begin, I think about my listeners. I imagine that I am talking to them in person. That makes my radio show feel personal. People seem to like that. In the first part of the show, I interview my guests. Then the newsreader comes in. The news takes about five minutes. After the news is the weather report, and then the phone-in. That’s when listeners phone the station and talk to me. It’s my favourite part of the programme.
10 Listen and complete the notes.
Do you want to be a TV news reporter? People often ask me why I love my job. Well, it’s very exciting. I’m the first to know about important news stories. I travel around the world and I talk to important and famous people.
But you have to learn a lot of things if you want to work in TV news, such as how to use a video camera, how to write news reports, and how to speak to the camera.
A good place to learn to be a TV news reporter is a small television station. You get a lot of practice doing different things, so you can learn fast.
