Listening text
Good morning and welcome to the Language
School at Dublin University. I’m very happy to
greet you all to our Summer Programme and
hope that you will not only learn a lot more
English , but also learn about the Irish way of
life. Before you go to your classrooms, I want
to have a quick look at your weekly timetable
with you.
Classes are taught from Monday to Friday with four
classes in the morning and three classes in the
afternoons. One lesson takes up 50 minutes. We
start every morning with two lessons of what we call
Language Study, which will mostly be grammar and
vocabulary. The rest of the morning classes are
either spent in the computer lab, or in workshops.
There’s a Conversation Workshop to practice your
speaking skills, one lesson on Tuesday, directly
after the Language Study class and there’s a
Reading Workshop of two times fifty minutes on
Friday morning. There are also two fifty minutes
classes in the computer lab which form the third
class on both Wednesdays and Thursdays.
Lunch is from half past twelve till one o’clock. Each
afternoon, except for Wednesday, starts with two
lessons of skills practice. In those classes you will
mostly practice listening and speaking. On Monday
and Tuesday they are followed by a class of fifty
minutes at the language lab.
The language lab is open Monday to Friday from
half past eight in the morning until eight o’clock in
the evening, while the library is open every day,
including the weekends, from eight am till ten pm.
Language Study and the classes in the computer
lab are taught by Dave. Conversation and skills
are taught by Flora and Sarah. Reading is taught
by Andrew and the teacher who will be with you
in the language lab is Julia. If for some reason
you cannot come to class, you have to phone
your teacher half an hour before class begins.

which are true.

Homework
Step 3 Speaking
Sentence patterns:
Don’t you think that...
I don’t think that’s right...
I don’t think so.
You must be mistaken...
No, you are wrong thinking about...
I’m afraid you’re wrong...
Aren’t you confusing...
I’m not so sure about that...
Surely it must be...
Yes, you are right, but...
I believe that you’ve got it right.
Yes, I agree with you.
1. I think English is easy for Chinese people to learn. If we listen to some English programmes and do some reading every day, it is easy for us to improve our listening and speaking ability. By the way, we should try to speak English as often as possible. If we have time, we can write a dairy or a short passage in English, such as some beautiful sentences, proverbs and so on.
Examples
I don’t agree with you. I think English is very difficult to learn. For example we should remember a lot of new words and expressions. We should remember some grammar.
But we have a lot of homework to do, we don’t have enough time to do it. So I think English is the most difficult language to learn for people whose mother tongue is Chinese. But I think if we have a chance to go abroad, it is the best way to learn English.
2. I don’t agree. I think it is impossible for us students to learn the geography of the UK more easily by going there, the main reason is that we don’t have enough money. I think we can get some information on lines or in the library.
I don’t agree with you. If we can learn the geography of the UK more easily by going there, we shall have more experiences. It is easy for us to get more information.
3. The Group of Eight (G8) consists of the eight richest countries in the world, which are America, England, France, Germany, Italy, Canada, Japan, and Russia. Our group thinks that it is easier for small countries to become strong and rich than for large countries; especially island nations have these advantages over other countries. Because the population is small, they don’t need a lot of oil and natural energy. By the way they have the advantage of good location, which is easy for them to import and export.
