Dear Mr Brown，
I'm Li Hua, one of the senior three students in China. I'm going to Vancouver, your hometown, and study there for a month starting from October 6. I'm writing to ask you about what I will have to be reminded of.
I hear the classes and their arrangements are very different from ours. Is that true? I take a great fancy to sports and clubs. Are there any interesting extracurricular activities available out there? By the way, what about the weather conditions in Vancouver this time of year? Should I bring more warm clothes?
Please spare some time letting me know. Many thanks! Looking forward to your reply. Yours，
Li Hua

W: Which one? You have tons of brown hats...the warm one with stars, the one with a baseball logo，the cowboy hat with...

M: Excuse me. Could you please check to see if we could stay till the day after tomorrow? We've found some extra things we'd like to do in this area.
W: OK. But maybe you need to change to the second floor.
M: All right. At least we don't have to pack up again. We'd like it if we could put off our check-out till Thursday morning instead of tomorrow morning. Text 7
M: Now, this is Westminster Abbey. It's one of the oldest buildings in London, and in its architecture you will recognize different styles.
W: Wow, it's really splendid.
M: There, to the left, you will see a small street called Downing Street. No. 10, the last of its ten houses, has always been the living place of the British prime minister.
W: Oh, is that the Tower Bridge?
M: Yeah. Look! The bridge is parting in the middle, and the two halves are moving upwards. A big ship is passing underneath.

W: Hi, Mike! Could you please tell me something about your study experiences?
M: OK. I studied in Australia for five years, in America for a year, and in Japan for more than three years.
W: Is that so? Did you also study in your home country, Canada? M: Yes, of course. I went to primary school in Canada. W: You've had quite a lot of experiences around the world. M: Yes, it's been interesting.
W: So, what did you and your friends like to do for fun when you were in America?
M: Well, teenagers all like to have parties, and American students like to have parties at their own houses. Every weekend different students would invite me to their places and we would have a great time.

W: Jack, how have your two sons been doing at school recently?
M: Don't ask! Mark never starts studying, and Jason never stops studying.
W: You're joking! I heard that Jason is likely to be at the top of his class after the exams this year.
M: Yes, so his teachers say. He's been buried in his books every evening for months on end recently. He is hoping to go to Harvard University.
W: Great. Maybe he'll become a university professor himself in the future. M: Maybe. But sometimes I wish he'd go out and enjoy himself for a change. W: How about the younger one?
M: Well, Mark's teachers say he has ability, but he rarely does his best. He does his homework in ten minutes every day and then rushes out to play football.
W: But he can make his fortune at football. People can make a lot of money from sports now. M: My wife always worries about their future. She wants Mark to study law. I don't believe in forcing them, but I wonder how Mark will progress over the next few years.
W: Perhaps you can have a talk with him now to find out what he is thinking about his studies and future plans.
M: Good idea.I'll take your advice. Text 10
M: Good morning everybody and welcome to this class on English words. I hope that all of you can hear me. If not, please let me know. I am Professor John Morris. I'll be your teacher for the next 13 weeks. As you can probably tell, this is one of the most popular and crowded classes. Indeed, every time this course is offered, this room is full. Why is that? Well, in order to use the English language, it's very important to have at least a basic understanding of how words are formed.Just to mention one figure and there are many; there are about one million words in English. If you are an English learner, you may wonder how you can possibly remember all of these words.Well, for one thing, you don't have to. No native speaker exists who knows all of the words in the English language. Besides, there are short cuts. Short cuts? Yes, for example, if you know how words are formed by using parts of words from other languages, such as Greek and French, you'll understand a good number of English words when you first come across them. Let me put it this way. Knowing
the rules will help you to master a large number of words. This is probably the No. 1 reason why this
class is so popular.答题卡
