Today I came across my friend Dawei. He looked sad, so I asked him what was wrong. He said that he failed in a ___________________contest. Before the contest, he competed against a girl at school. He won, but he said it was because ________. He thought the girl should have gone to _________________ instead. If she had, the school would have been _______. I tried to make him look on the bright side, and he admitted that he had a good time at the national contest. He met some ___________ and he liked the city. He also said his parents felt ___________. I think I made him feel better.
should have done sth. 本该做某事(但未做)
should not have done sth. 本不该做某事(但做了)
national English speaking
he was lucky
the national competition
well-known
fantastic people
proud of him
Listening scripts:
Jack: Hi, Dawei. Are you OK
Dawei: Yeah...I'm all right. I suppose.
Jack: OK...I don't mean to be nosy, but are you sure You look down.
Dawei: I could be better, to be honest.
Jack: That's what I thought. Why don't you tell me what's up
Dawei: Well, I took part in a national English speaking competition in Beijing, and I finished in last place.
Jack: Oh, really I'm sorry to hear that. I'm sure you did your best, though.
Dawei: I did, but it wasn't good enough. The other kids were just better than me.
Jack: But you must have been very good to get into the competition. You should be proud of yourself.
Dawei: Well, there was a competition at school first that was held to see who would go into the national competition. I won that, but...
Jack: There you go! You have no reason to be sad. You're the best English speaker at school.
Dawei: That's the problem. I don't think I am. I think Liu Jing is better than me, and she should have gone to Beijing instead of me.
adj. 好管闲事的,爱打听的
Jack: Who's Liu Jing
Dawei: She's a girl in my class. When we did the school competition, we were the top two students. The final school competition was betwen me and her -the winner would go to Beijing.
Jack: OK, but you won, fair and square. Why are you so upset
Dawei: I think I was just lucky. Liu Jing's much better at English than I am. If she had gone to the national competition, she would have won. Our school would have become well known, and everyone would have been happy. Instead, I went to Beijing and lost.
Jack: Oh, Dawei, you can't think like that! Who knows what would have happened I know this is hard for you, but you should cheer up. I mean, did you have a good time in Beijing
Dawei: Yes, I suppose I did. It's a really exciting city, and I met some fantastic people..
Jack: There you go! You had a good time. And I'm sure your parents are proud of you!
Dawei: They are, yes. It was great experience, but I just wish I had won.
Jack:[laughs]You can't win everything, Dawei! You're the best in the school, and that means a lot. Perhaps one day, if you study hard, you can be the best in the country!
Dwei: Yes, I hadn't thought of that. There will be another competition in March. Perhaps I could try again then.
Jack: That's the spirit! I know an English saying:”If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.”
Dawei: Yes, that's good advice. Thanks, Jack. You've really cheered me up. I feel a lot better now.
Jack: No problem. And why don't you talk to Liu Jing You can practise together.
Dawei: Yes, I'll do that. Thank you so much!

主题写作---积极向上
假定你是李华,你的美国笔友Peter给你写信诉说了他的难过和迷茫,原因是他在他们学校近期刚结束的演讲比赛中失败了,请你写一封信帮他分析原因并鼓励他继续努力。
要点:1.分析原因 2.给予鼓励 3.其他方面; 100词左右,适当增加细节,使行文连贯。
翻译:1.高兴收到你的来信。我已得知你因在学校演讲比赛中失败一直觉得很烦恼。我想和你分享一下我的想法。
2. 作为学生,我从前也遇到过同样的问题。但我认为未来还有很多比赛要参加,我们不应该只是追求成功还应该享受竞争的乐趣。即使在比赛中失败,我们也不应失去信心。我们应该坚持直到成功。只有这样,我们才会发现这些比赛是值得的。如果你能放下坏心情那就太好了。
3.希望我的分享能对你有帮助。盼望收到你的来信。
Dear Peter,
I'm delighted to hear from you. Having known that you have been upset because of failing in the school speech contest, I would like to share my ideas with you.
As a student, I met the same problem before. But I hold the belief that with many contests to take, we should not only pursue success but also enjoy the relish of competition. Even though we may fail in the contests, we should not lose heart. Instead, we should persevere until we succeed. Only in this way can we find these contests worthwhile. I think it would be a blessing if you could leave bad mood behind.
I do hope that what I have shared can be helpful to you and I'm looing forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
