Carla and Hari are students in Trinidad. Their Chinese friends, Li Mei and Wu Ping, are visiting for the Carnival holiday in February.CARLA: Li Mei, why are you wearing those shoes? You can’t be serious! Your feet will hurt so much by the end of the parade that you won’t be able to stand. Would you like these comfortable shoes?LI MEI: Thanks, Carla, but I wanted something to go with this dress. Those are the wrong colour.
CARLA: You must be joking! That dress is too thick. Do you realize that it’ll be thirty-five degrees out there and that you’re going to be walking and dancing until midnight? You have to have something light and cool ─ and a hat!
Part 2
The boys are already there when the girls arrive. The music over the loudspeakers makes it difficult to hear each other. One after another, big bands arrive, along with thousands of dancers and musicians. The Carnival is beginning!

HARI: Hurry up, Carla! The bands are moving!

Remember, you two, if we get separated in the crowd, we’ll meet at the north end of the parking lot by 8 o’clock. Then we can go together to see the winners of this year’s award for best band and best costumes.Listening (Page 41) 1. Look at the picture below. What festival do you think these pictures are about?巨型复活蛋 寻找复活节彩蛋的习俗，据民间传说，是由一位德国公爵夫人兴起的。据说，五彩缤纷的彩蛋是复活节兔子为乡村的孩子们留下的。孩子们把找蛋作为一种游戏。
最精心制作的复活节彩蛋甚至不是真蛋。一个叫卡尔·费伯奇的俄国珠宝商曾用金、银和珠宝做成彩蛋。打开蛋还可以看到小小的人、动物、植物和房子。俄国皇帝以此作为礼物送人。 复活节兔子是非常古老的复活节象征的现代说法。野兔是兔子的大个子亲戚，它是专供厄俄斯特女神用的圣物。
在复活节穿新衣服的习俗是在公元后300年左右开始的，大约在第一个基督徒皇帝康斯坦丁的时代。他下令在复活节那天朝臣们都得穿最好的衣服。The main topic of the conversation.
The main topic of the conversation is about the meaning of Easter and some of its traditional customs. Easter is the Christian festival that celebrates Jesus’ coming back to life from the dead. Easter customs include making and eating hot cross buns, colouring and searching for eggs supposedly hidden by the Easter Bunny and decorating with lilies.Spring Christians around the worldStory about Jesus coming back to lifeSunday Hot cross buns, eggs, bunnies, liliesListening text C= CHEN BIN
J= JOEY
C: Hey, Joey! I was watching a movie last night that showed some people celebrating Easter. What is Easter?J: Oh, Easter is the holiday every spring when Christians around the world celebrate Jesus coming back to life from the dead.
C: Coming back to life?
J: Yes, it’s a famous story in the Bible about Jesus. Easter is always celebrated on a Sunday. It’s said thatJesus rose from the dead on a Sunday. People will often go to church on Easter Sunday to sing songs and hear about Jesus.
C: I saw in the movie that a mother was making little cakes with Xs on them.
J: Oh, yes. Those are “hot cross buns”. The cross on the bun is to remind people how Jesus died.C: I remember last year on Easter you gave me an egg that was painted many different colours. Why do you colour eggs on Easter?
J: That’s mostly an American tradition. Children will colour the eggs before Easter. Early on Easter morning, parents will hide the eggs inside the house or outside in the garden. Then when the children wake up,they try to find the eggs. The parents often say that the eggs were left by the Easter bunny.
C: The Easter bunny? What do eggs and bunnies have to do with Jesus?
J: I guess it is because people think they represent life. We also often have lilies at Easter to represent life that is new and clean.C: So Easter is about Jesus, hot cross buns, eggs, bunnies and lilies?
J: Well, it’s supposed to be about Jesus. But today many people forget the story and just remember the hot cross buns or the eggs and bunnies!Homework Collect the information about Chinese festivals for the dead and make a report.课件79张PPT。Reading Warming upDo you know these festivals?
