2.Read the poem about online safety and mark the words that should be stressed.
I always keep things secret when I go online.
I never share the things that should be only mine.
My email and my home address, my phone number and name—
These are things only I should know on websites or in games.
And so I use a nonsense name for my net identity.
When folks online ask who I am, I say, “I’m Cyber Me.”
And if I ever think that someone online isn’t all that bad,
I never ever meet them without telling Mum or Dad.
3.Listen to the poem and see if you got the stressed words right.
I always keep things secret when I go online.
I never share the things that should be only mine.
My email and my home address, my phone number and name-
These are things only I should know on websites or in games.
And so l use a nonsense name for my net identity.
When folks online ask who I am, I say, "I'm Cyber Me."
And if I ever think that someone online isn't all that bad,
I never ever meet them without telling Mum or Dad.

Listening and Talking
Which app do you think would be more popular or useful
P27 Role-play the conversation
A: I imagine that TV Me would be more popular. Everyone watches TV and I think lots of people imagine themselves as actors in the TV shows, so putting the two together would be great. What do you think
B: My guess would be Hear It First because it’s both interesting and useful. You could find out more about the stories you like and make sure that you don’t miss anything important. I believe both the young and old would like it.
A: I imagine that bilibili would be more popular. Everyone watches videos and I think lots of people like to share their own videos with others. What do you think
B: My guess would be Tencent News because it’s both interesting and useful. You could find out more about the stories you like and make sure that you don’t miss anything important. I believe both the young and old would like it.

Laura: Hey Xiao Bo, what's up
Xiao Bo: Hi, Laura. Not much. I’m trying to get in shape, so I’m looking
for an exercise app.
Laura: Oh yeah Found anything
Xiao Bo: Well, there’s an app that counts every step you take during the
day. It might help me walk more, but don’t think it’d be enough. Here’s
another one. It keeps track of how much you exercise and what you
eat. It also helps you make a fitness plan. I imagine this app would
help me get fit faster.
Laura: I wish there were an app for getting rich.
Xiao Bo: Ha-ha, well, there are apps for saving money.
Laura: Really
Xiao Bo: Yes, sure. Look at this one. It helps you find discounts and the
best price for whatever you’ re looking for.

Laura: I suppose that’d be good but I need an app that adds
some oink to my piggy bank.
Xiao Bo: Oink to your piggy bank What does that mean
Laura: Ha-ha, sorry! I mean I want to add some money to
my savings.
Xiao Bo: Oh, I see, a piggy app. Ha-ha! How about this one
Every time you pay for something with your phone, it puts a
little money into a bank account, just a few yuan-you wouldn't
miss it. I guess you could save a little with this app.
Laura: Cool. Great idea! I' m good at spending. Now all I
need is an app that l make my grades better.
Xiao Bo: Well, perhaps this app...
Thank you.
