1. What do you know about Chinese language learning abroad
2. How do people from other countries find out about Chinese culture
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.
By watching films, visiting China, attending a Confucius Institute, etc.
Confucius Institutes in the United States
Since 2004, the Chinese government has sponsored Confucius
Institutes on college and university campuses around the world.
An agency of the Chinese Ministry of Education, called the
Hanban, provides teachers, textbooks, and operating funds.
...
As of January 19, 2021, NAS counts a total of 63 Confucius Institutes in the United States. ...We identify 55 Confucius Institutes at American colleges and universities. We also identify one Confucius Institute at a private educational organization, the China Institute, and 7 Confucius Institutes at K-12 public school districts.

EXAMPLE
Suggested answer
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.
A: Thanks for your time.
B: You' re welcome.
Read the conversation and answer the questions.
※ Pronunciation
1. What problem is Lu Yao having
2. What may be the cause of the problem
3. How can he solve his problem
Lu Yao is having a problem with an English listening task.
He has trouble hearing the weak forms of the words which are not stressed.
He should pay more attention to the weak forms, watch some movies, and study how the weak forms are used.
Listen to the conversation above and underline the weak forms the speakers used. Then practise the conversation with your partner.
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!
弱读（weak/unstressed forms）是指元音不发饱满，有时候也把辅音音素省略的情况。一般情况下，在非重读音节里，a, o, u等元音字母往往都弱化成/ /音，e, i, y等元音字母往往都弱化成/ /音。比如are原本的/ɑ:/会被弱化成/ /。
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。
弱 读
弱读规则与非重读音节的读音规则相同，常见类型有：
情态动词：如can /k n; k n/、must /m st; m st/
助动词：如do /du:; du, d , d/、had /h d; h d, d, d/
动词：如are /ɑ:; /、was /w z; w z/
介词：如at / t; t/、for /f ; f /
连词：如and / nd; nd, n/、that / t; t/
冠词：如an / n; n/、the/ i ; ; /
人称代词：如him /h m; m/、us / z; s, s/
其他：如some /s m; s m/、there / e ; /

判断下列句子中划线名词充当什么成分
1.能复习、归纳名词性从句的功能和用法；
2.能够正确使用名词性从句表达意义。
课 堂 学 习
Study the sentences below and mark the noun clauses. What is the function of each noun clause in the sentences
1
1. What seemed strange before now appears quite normal to Xie Lei.
2. What surprised Xie Lei was that she found herself speaking up in
class after just a few weeks.
3. It’s important that Xie Lei keeps a balance between her studies
and her social life.
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。
名词性从句
一个句子在复合句中充当名词的作用（即充当主语、宾语、表语或同位语），那么这个句子叫做名词性从句。
根据作用，名词性从句可以分为:
主语从句（The Subject Clause）
宾语从句（The Object Clause）
表语从句（The Predicative Clause）
同位语从句（The Appositive Clause）
※ 引导名词性从句的连接词
1. 连接代词：who, whose, whom, what, which。有词义，在从
句中担任成分，如主语、表语、宾语、或定语等。
2. 连接副词：when, where, why, how。有词义，在从句中担任
成分，作状语。
3. 连接词：that, whether, if, as if。that 无词义，在从句中不担
任成分，有时可省略；if (whether), as if虽有词义，但在从句
中不担任成分。
一、主语从句
1. 主语从句在复合句作主语。
e.g. Who will go is not important.
2. 用it作形式主语，主语从句放在句末。
e.g. It doesn’t matter so much whether you will come or not.
3. that引导主语从句时，不能省略。
e.g. That he suddenly fell ill last week made us surprised.
主语从句中的几点注意事项：
1.主语从句通常位于句首，当主语较长时放在后面，句首
使用it做形式主语。
2.当主语从句引导词为that时虽无意义，但是不可以省略。
3.主语从句不能使用if引导。
二、宾语从句
1. 宾语从句在复合句中作宾语。引导宾语从句的连词that一般可省略。
e.g. I hope (that) everything is all right.
2. 介词之后的宾语从句，不可用which或if连接，要分别用what或
whether。
e.g. I'm interested in whether you’ve finished the work.
I'm interested in what you’ve said.
3. whether与if都可以引导宾语从句，常可互换。但下面情况不能互换。
①宾语从句是否定句时，只用if，不用whether。
e.g. I wonder if it doesn’t rain.
②用if 会引起误解，就要用whether。
e.g. Please let me know whether you want to go.
(此句如果把whether改成if，容易当成条件句理解)
③宾语从句中的whether与or not直接连用，就不能换成if。
e.g. I don't know whether or not the report is true.
④介词后的宾语从句要用whether引导。不能换成if。
e.g. It depends on whether we have enough time.
宾语从句三要素：
连接词（第一个that可以省略）
语序 （陈述句语序）
时态 （主句现在时或将来时从句根据句意选择任意时态；
主句过去时从句使用与原句相对应的过去时态；
主句为客观事实、自然现象等时，从句使用一般现在时）
三、表语从句
1. 表语从句在复合句中作表语，位于系动词之后。
e.g. The question was who could go there.
2. 引导表语从句的连接词that一般不可省去。
e.g. My idea is that we can get more comrades to help in the work.
常见的系动词有：be (am, is, are, was, were), become, look, sound, feel, taste (看、听、尝起来), seem, appear(似乎、好像)等
四、同位语从句
在复合句中作名词的同位语的从句叫做同位语从句。同位语从句对名词做进一步解释，说明名词的具体内容。通常位于抽象名词后。
fact(事实), idea(想法), reason(原因), thought(想法), order(命令), doubt(怀疑), news(消息), hope(希望), truth(真实), belief(信念), suggestion(建议), advice(建议), view(观点), promise(承诺), request(要求), proposal(提议/建议), demand(要求), question(问题)
主语从句 宾语从句 表语从句 同位语从句
that 一般不省略 可以省略 一般不省略 一般不省略
whether/if(是否) 放在句首时只用whether 视情况用whether/if 多用whether 多用whether
特殊疑问词 注意：语序要用陈述句语序
名词性关系从句 注意：语序要用陈述句语序

Discuss the following questions in groups.
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.

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.

I would go to England, as I find their history fascinating and I like the people.

studying abroad that were not mentioned in the letters

③【句式分析】
本句中 that 引导的是同位语从句，进一步补充说明 the fact 的具体内容。that 在从句中只起连接作用，不作句子成分，没有意义。
（1）同位语从句一般跟在某些名词之后，解释说明名词的具体内容。可以跟同位语从句的名词常见的有：
fact 事实 hope 希望 desire 愿望 thought 想法

Sample Writing
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.
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
