Ⅲ.Listen to the passage and mark (T)for True and (F) for (False).
Although we may not realize it when we talk with others, we make our meanings
understood not only by words; we send messages to the people around us but also by
body movements. We call it “body language” which is a kind of action communication.
A smile and handshake show welcome. Waving hands stands for “Good bye”. Nodding
head means “agreement”, while shaking it means “disagreement”. Putting up a hand
means “May I ask a question?” putting a finger over the mouth means “Be quiet”. These
gestures are accepted between Chinese and Americans as having the same meanings.
Ⅳ. Listen to the passage and fill in the table.
Taking care of our environment is very important. Have you ever thrown any litter
onto the ground? Have you ever drawn pictures on public walls? Have you ever spat in
a public place? Have you ever cut down trees? If your answers are “No”, it means that
you have already helped protect our environment.
It is our duty to keep our environment clean and tidy. You may ask yourself, “Have I
ever picked up some rubbish and thrown it into a dustbin? Have I ever collected waste
paper or bottles for recycling? Have I ever planted any trees or flowers in or near my
home?” If your answers are “Yes” it means that you have already done something
useful to improve the environment.

There are four key points to study English:listening,speaking,reading and writing.
Firstly,we should be brave to talk with others in English. By doing this,we can
improve our talking and listening skill.
Secondly,we should try to listen to all kinds of English programs as much as
possible. In this way,we can gradually improve our pronunciation.
Thirdly,we should often read English books. When we come across a new word.
We should guess its meaning through the contest first. then look it up in the dictionary
to have a check. ,it is a good way of reading.
Fourthly,we should practice our writing skills. Whenever we have any idea,we
should get the pen and write it down at once. It is very important to avoid writing in
Chinese way and using the Chinese grammar.
As long as we listen ,speak,read and write more ,we are sure to make
remarkable progress!
