目标一：Listen to an interview, pay attention to the setting and get the
information of The Confucius Institute in Pakistan.
Activity 1: Discuss the questions below in pairs with the
help of the table.
1. What do you know about Chinese language learning abroad
2. How do people from other countries find out about Chinese
culture
Suggested Answers:
1 As China has boomed, the connection between China and the rest of the world has increased. As a result, learning Chinese has become important for many people. Other people are learning Chinese because they are interested in Chinese culture.
2 By watching films, visiting China, attending a Confucius Institute, etc.
With China’s rapid economic growth and wide
exchanges with the rest of the world, there
has been a sharp increase in the world
demand for Chinese language learning. To
meet the increasing demands for Chinese
learning, the Chinese government decided to set up Confucius Institutes in foreign countries. The first Confucius Institute was set up in South Korea in 2004. Confucius Institutes adopt flexible teaching patterns to suit local conditions while teaching Chinese language and promoting cultural exchange in foreign schools, universities, communities, and enterprises.

EXAMPLE
Sample Conversation
A: Hi, Jane. Welcome to the show!
B: Thanks for inviting me.
A: Tell us, what was your biggest challenge in learning Chinese at
the beginning
B: Well, I suppose it was difficult to grasp the tones at first.
A: I bet! Did joining the Confucius Institute help overcome this problem
B: Absolutely! Getting involved with Chinese cultural activities there
definitely helped a lot. I got to practise my Chinese on a daily basis, and
I could learn how native Chinese speakers spoke.
A: What do you feel is your biggest achievement
B: Learning Chinese characters! I have learnt about 1,500 so far. When I first
started, I didn't think it was even going to be possible to learn so many,
but now I find that I can read signs, menus, and even some easy
newspaper articles.
A: What are you most keen on
B: I’ve really become keen on learning more about the Chinese culture, in
particular Chinese calligraphy. As I have learnt Chinese characters, I have
developed a great appreciation for their meaning. I want to explore
Chinese characters by learning how to write them in a more beautiful way.
A: Finally, what do you want to say to anyone interested in learning Chinese
B: I'd say, give it a shot! While some aspects may be difficult, it is quite
rewarding and you will be happy that you tried.

目标二：To practise and understand the use of weak forms in speeches and conversations
Activity 1: Understand the use of weak forms.
Task 1 Skim the conversation in Activity 1 on page 19 and answer the questions.
1.What problem is Lu Yao having
2.What may be the cause of the problem 3.How can he solve his problem
1.Lu Yao is having a problem with an English listening task.
2.He has trouble hearing the weak forms of the words which are not stressed.
3.He should pay more attention to the weak forms, watch some movies, and study how the weak forms are used.
Suggested Answers
Task 2 Read for the second time and answer the following questions
What kinds of words are not stressed
And what are stressed
Pronouns, articles, prepositions, and conjunctions are not stressed; Nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, numerals, and interjections are stressed.
弱读现象
弱读是英语中常见的语音现象。与汉语不同，英语句子中并不是每个词都读得一样响亮、清晰，而是有的词说得又轻又快，而且较为含糊；有的词说得又重又慢，而且较为清晰，从而形成句子的节奏和韵律。这些读得轻快、含糊的句子就是弱读所在。学习弱读不仅能提高听力理解能力，还能进一步提升口语水平，使语音更加自然、地道。
弱读在单词内部和句子中都存在，在单词内部一般是非重读音节，句子中的弱读出现在虚词上，包括非实义动词、介词、连词、冠词、人称代词等，通常它们不会按照正常读音规则发音，而是采取弱读形式。
重读的词一般都是实词，包括名词、实义动词、形容词、副词、数词、除人称代词外的其他代词等，还包括根据句子上下文和说话人情感想要情调的部分。例如：“She is only a child”这句话中，需要重读的是only、child，需要弱读的是She / /、is/z/、a/ /。
Activity 2: Summarise the usage of weak forms.
Task 1 Read these sentences with a partner and decide which words should be stressed and which should not.
1. The streets are wide and clean.
2. Show us the picture that you have drawn.
3. Last but not least, treasure the time.
4. Can I have some tea with ice and lemon
5. I’ve told him to keep away from her.
Answers:
1. The streets are wide and clean.
2. Show us the picture that you have drawn.
3. Last but not least, treasure the time.
4. Can I have some tea with ice and lemon
5. I’ve told him to keep away from her.
标红的单词弱读，其余重读

Activity 3: Practise weak forms with the conversation.
Task 1 Read the conversation in Activity 1 on page 19 aloud. Mark the words that are not stressed and then listen to the recording to check.
Lu Yao: Excuse me, Miss Conner. I'm having a problem with this English listening task. Some words are pronounced really fast and sound different.
Miss Conner: Oh, let me listen... Yes, that's probably because the words are not being stressed. You see, English is a stress-based language.
Lu Yao: So does this mean I need to know which words are stressed and which are not
Miss Conner: Yes, I'm afraid so. English words have a strong form and a weak form.
Words like pronouns, articles, prepositions, and so on are often not stressed. So we usually use the weak form for them when we speak.
Lu Yao: Oh no. When I speak, I worry people won't understand me, so I always try to pronounce all my words really clearly. No wonder my classmates say I sound like a robot!
Miss Conner: Oh dear! Well, I suggest you pay more attention to the weak forms. For example, in the sentence "Are you studying hard ", the words "are"and"you"are pronounced as / /and /j /.
Lu Yao: Oh, I get it. Thanks, Miss Conner.
Miss Conner: You' re welcome. I also suggest you watch some movies and study how the weak forms are used.
Lu Yao: That's great advice, Miss Conner! I'm going to watch a movie right now.
Thanks again! Bye!
Task 2 Practise the conversation with a partner.

To review and summarize the functions and usages of noun clause
目标一：To review and summarize the functions and usages of noun clause
1.What seemed strange before now appears quite normal to Xie Lei.
2.It’s important that Xie Lei keeps a balance between her studies and her social life.
3.Her tutor explained that she must acknowledge what other people had said if she cited their ideas.
4.Xie Lei had no idea what she should say but what surprised her was that she found herself speaking up in class after just a few weeks.
Activity 1 Task 1 Read the following sentences and underline the subordinate clauses. Determine the composition of the subordinate clause in the sentence.
1.What seemed strange before now appears quite normal to Xie Lei.
2.It’s important that Xie Lei keeps a balance between her studies and her social life.
3.Her tutor explained that she must acknowledge what other people had said if she cited their ideas.
4.Xie Lei had no idea what she should say but what surprised her was that she found herself speaking up in class after just a few weeks.
以上各句都是主从复合句，句中的从句在句子中的功能相当于名词或名词词组；他们都是名词性从句。
以上句子中，每个名词性从句在句中的作用是什么？
名词性从句的引导词有哪些？
哪些引导词在名词性从句中充当成分？充当什么成分？
哪些引导词在名词性从句中不充当成分？
哪个引导词在名词性从句中可以省略？何时可以省略？
Task 2 Further Thinking:
1.What seemed strange before now appears quite normal to Xie Lei.
2.It’s important that Xie Lei keeps a balance between her studies and her social life.
3.Her tutor explained that she must acknowledge what other people had said if she cited their ideas.
4.Xie Lei had no idea what she should say but what surprised her was that she found herself speaking up in class after just a few weeks.
每个名词性从句在句中的作用是什么？
作主语
作主语
作宾语
作同位语
作主语
名词或名词短语可以在句中充当主语、表语、宾语、同位语。当这些名词或名词短语由一个句子替代时，就是名词性从句。名词性从句（Noun Clauses）是在句子中起名词作用的句子。根据在句中不同的语法功能，可以把名词性从句分别称为主语从句、宾语从句、表语从句和同位语从句。
作表语
what/whatever、who/whoever、whom、whose、which/whichever, 在从句中作成分（如：主语或宾语）。
例如：Who will go to the party is still unknown.（主语从句，who在从句中作主语）
The question is what we can do to protect the environment.（表语从句，what在从句中作宾语）
You can ask whoever you trust.（宾语从句，whoever在从句中作宾语）
名词性从句的引导词可分为三类。
连接代词：
when/whenever、where/wherever、how/however、why。
在从句中分别作时间状语、地点状语、方式状语和原因状语。
例如：When the train is going to arrive is not informed.（主语从句）
Scientists are trying hard to find out where the coronavirus comes from.（宾语从句）
That is why I can’t go with you.（表语从句）
连接副词：
that、whether、if、as if、as though、because。不充当从句的任何成分，即它们引导的从句是完整的。
例如：That she was chosen as one of the nurses to go to Wuhan to help in the fight against COVID-19 made her parents both worried and proud.（主语从句，that不能省略）
The fact is that he is old enough to go to school.（表语从句，that一般不省略）
He is hesitating about whether he should tell her the truth.（宾语从句）
He felt as if he had gone back to 20 years ago.（表语从句）
连词：
此外，it作形式主语和形式宾语时，一般将替代它的主语从句和表语从句后置。
例如：It is reported that seven people have been seriously injured in the accident.（it作形式主语）
I leave it to your own judgement whether you should do it.（it作形式宾语）
主语从句、宾语从句、表语从句所使用的引导词大体相同，但有些仅常用于某种名词性从句，如because，as if，as though仅常用于表语从句，whether和if均可用于宾语从句，但在主语从句和表语从句中一般只用whether。
注意
引导宾语从句的that常常省略，特别是在非正式语体中。如：
Her tutor explained that she was supposed to read lots of information to help form a wise opinion of her own.
I think (that) this life-changing experience is certainly worthwhile, and I hope (that) my child will study abroad in the future.
名词性从句
类型 功能 语序 it 引导词 that 省略

2.Why has Xie Lei got involved in social activities
3.How has Xie Lei helped to build bridges between China and the UK
4.What other challenges do you think students studying abroad might face
How can students prepare to handle these challenges before going abroad
Answers:
1.Why did XieLei choose the exchange programme
She chose the exchange programme because she wanted to learn about global business and improve her English. Her ambition was to set up a business in China after graduation.
2.Why has Xie Lei got involved in social activities
Because it can help her adapt to the new culture there. She’s also keen to share her culture with the British people.
3.How has Xie Lei helped to build bridges between China and the UK
As well as studying in the UK, she acts as a cultural messenger sharing Chinese culture with people around her by giving a presentation on traditional Chinese art, teaching people how to cook Chinese food, and involving herself in social activities.
4.What other challenges do you think students studying abroad might face
How can students prepare to handle these challenges before going abroad
One big challenge is the language — they may think they are good at English, but they are not used to hearing English being spoken at a normal speed, they are not used to English being spoken with a heavy accent, and they are not familiar with many English idioms.
The best way to prepare is to try to immerse themselves in English before they go abroad. They should watch a variety of English-language films and TV programmes without using subtitles, listen to English songs, and use every opportunity to speak with native English speakers.
Another challenge may be coming to terms with the differences in a culture that is different to their own. Locals, however, will generally be understanding that the student is new to the country, and will appreciate attempts to learn and understand more about their culture. That is why it is best to be kind, respectful, and enthusiastic to try new things when in a foreign country — locals will be more willing to help new students and will be patient.
It can also be scary to try to fit into the new lifestyle while there, since it is so different to their own. Maybe students will face times when they don't understand the proper way to do something, such as paying utility bills. In this case, there is always someone who is willing to help — either at your university campus or even in a local shop.

Suggested Answers:
Activity 2: Task 1 According to the prompts, review the functions and usages of noun clause.
名词性从句在句中的作用是什么？
名词性从句的引导词有哪些？
哪些引导词在名词性从句中充当成分？充当什么成分？哪些引导词在名词性从句中不充当成分？
哪个引导词在名词性从句中可以省略？何时可以省略？
名词或名词短语可以在句中充当主语、表语、宾语、同位语。当这些名词或名词短语由一个句子替代时，就是名词性从句。名词性从句（Noun Clauses）是在句子中起名词作用的句子。根据在句中不同的语法功能，可以把名词性从句分别称为主语从句、宾语从句、表语从句和同位语从句。
what/whatever、who/whoever、whom、whose、which/whichever, 在从句中作成分（如：主语或宾语）。
例如：Who will go to the party is still unknown.（主语从句，who在从句中作主语）
The question is what we can do to protect the environment.（表语从句，what在从句中作宾语）
You can ask whoever you trust.（宾语从句，whoever在从句中作宾语）
名词性从句的引导词可分为三类。
连接代词：
when/whenever、where/wherever、how/however、why。
在从句中分别作时间状语、地点状语、方式状语和原因状语。
例如：When the train is going to arrive is not informed.（主语从句）
Scientists are trying hard to find out where the coronavirus comes from.（宾语从句）
That is why I can’t go with you.（表语从句）
连接副词：
that、whether、if、as if、as though、because。不充当从句的任何成分，即它们引导的从句是完整的。
例如：That she was chosen as one of the nurses to go to Wuhan to help in the fight against COVID-19 made her parents both worried and proud.（主语从句，that不能省略）
The fact is that he is old enough to go to school.（表语从句，that一般不省略）
He is hesitating about whether he should tell her the truth.（宾语从句）
He felt as if he had gone back to 20 years ago.（表语从句）
连词：
此外，it作形式主语和形式宾语时，一般将替代它的主语从句和表语从句后置。
例如：It is reported that seven people have been seriously injured in the accident.（it作形式主语）
I leave it to your own judgement whether you should do it.（it作形式宾语）
主语从句、宾语从句、表语从句所使用的引导词大体相同，但有些仅常用于某种名词性从句，如because，as if，as though仅常用于表语从句，whether和if均可用于宾语从句，但在主语从句和表语从句中一般只用whether。
注意
引导宾语从句的that常常省略，特别是在非正式语体中。如：
Her tutor explained that she was supposed to read lots of information to help form a wise opinion of her own.
I think (that) this life-changing experience is certainly worthwhile, and I hope (that) my child will study abroad in the future.

Suggested Answer(text only)
Wonderful Donghua High!
"Where the grass is indeed greener!"
Location of School
Donghua High is a unique experimental high school established in Beijing, China in 1921.
History of School
It was started in 1921 as an all-girls school for orphaned children. The school helped produce many well known people in science and arts. It is now open to all students of all abilities.
School Motto
The school motto is "Where the grass is indeed greener!"and this comes from the phrase "The grass is always greener on the other side."While this phrase refers to the idea that we always think what we don't have is better than what we do have, we instead use it in a positive light to highlight the things we do have and how good they are.Therefore, our grass is indeed greener!
School Rules
The only rule in this school is that there are no rules! This does not mean that students can behave in ways that are wrong or unruly. Rather, students are expected to take responsibility for their own education and lives. All decisions at the school are made democratically, with students and teachers having an equal vote. Teachers are seen more of as aides to help students educate themselves.
Special Events
We host several events throughout the year. Our most popular event is the whole school art competition, where we ask all our students to submit one piece of artwork using any medium they like. Winners are chosen by the students and we usually have some fantastic prizes to give away. We also have a School Volunteer Day, where we encourage students, under adult supervision, to go out into the local community and help out. This is our way of giving back to the community.
Compulsory and Elective Courses
There are no formal classes at our school. Instead, students do what they like, and study when and what they like. We believe this helps students to develop the ability to take control of their lives at an early age and learn to be independent and self-reliant. They have options to study science, computers, and all kinds of liberal arts such as contemporary dance and traditional ink painting styles, such as shan shui.
Clubs
Our school has many clubs available to students, and we encourage extra-
curricular activities. We have art clubs, sports clubs and even an open-air cinema club. You will no doubt find what you are looking for in our club selection.

Come visit us and see the experiment! See the dream in action! You will be impressed!

2 If you had a chance to go overseas as an international student, which country would you go to Why
Suggested Answer
1 First of all, I would want to take them to the Great Wall, the Palace Museum, and the Terracotta Warriors Museum. I think these are cultural and historical places that they will be very interested in visiting! Then I would suggest that they try some Chinese food — it is possible they haven’t tried authentic Chinese food before. I think they will love Beijing Roast Duck, maybe some fried eggplant, and many, many dumplings. I would also take them to a traditional tea house to experience some local culture — it’s certainly different from a coffee shop they may be used to back in their home country! These are some of the things that I would want to share with them about China.
2 I would go to England, as I find their history fascinating and I like the people.

Letter from Wang Li
Main point:
...I think the disadvantages(of studying abroad) for young people are greater.
Reasons:
To begin with, many students who study abroad face great economic pressure.
Another important factor to consider is the tremendous pressure that comes with studying abroad.
A final point to consider is that while studying abroad does have potential benefits, young people who study in China also have a great future to look forward to!
Letter from Zhang Yi
Main point:
… in my opinion, the advantages (of studying abroad) are much greater.
Reasons:
The first advantage of studying abroad is personal growth.
Another advantage is the increased chance for cultural exchange.
Finally, studying abroad provides a great opportunity to contribute to the development of our motherland.

Dear Editor,
Many people ask the question,"Why study abroad After all, there are many great universities and schools in China that attract great professors both local and foreign." I think that while this is true, this gets things slightly wrong. The question isn't that people think the quality of their local university is not adequate, but rather how studying abroad helps and benefits the individuals in their own study and career plans.
By studying abroad, Chinese students get a better understanding of other cultures and countries, and learn to see themselves as global citizens. As a result, they can better understand China's place in the world and how they can contribute to world peace and development.
Sample Letter
In addition, overseas students can learn cross-cultural communication skills, which will help them understand how they can participate on the world stage.There are so many places in the world with hurting, needy people. With such skills and knowledge, they can better lend them a helping hand.
Finally, when our students return home, they can share their experience with others. There is a wide open world which they can contribute to, but only if they first learn about people from other countries, and their struggles and challenges.
In conclusion, the best way to get is by giving, and the easiest way to be loved is by loving others. I hope everyone will agree that there is a wonderful world out there which can be made better by our presence, but they need to learn how they can contribute and help, and they can best do this through student exchange.
Best regards,
Liu Ping
