Module 6 Problems

Unit 1. If I start after dinner, I’ll finish it before I go to bed.

Dad: Tony, you're playing the guitar again. Have you done your homework'?

Tony: No, not yet, but I haven't got much. If I start after dinner, I'll finish it before I go to bed.

Anyway, you wanted me to learn an instrument.

Dad: I want you to get into the habit of doing your homework as soon as you come home from

school. If you start now, you'll finish it before dinner.

Tony: Yes, but I need a rest from schoolwork. I also want to go to the library to do volunteer

work.

Dad: So you're not going to do your home work now? Tony: No, it isn’t necessary to do it now. I'll do it later.

Dad: That's a shame. I really don't think you should go to the library so much. Tony: Why not? I can work in the library and I'm also able to read books there.

Dad: No deal, Tony. If you do all these other things instead of your homework, you won't have

time to study.

Tony: You mean you don't want me to help the community and increase my knowledge of the

world?

Dad: That's not the point. You should consider what the most important thing is. I don't want you

to fail your exams.

Tony: But.....

Dad: You can't do anything before you finish your homework. I'm sorry, but that's my last word.

Unit 2 If you tell him the truth now, you will show that you are honest.

Do you have a problem? Write to Diana at New Standard Magazine and ask for her advice.

Dear Diana,

Last week, my friend David came round with a new computer game and asked to play it on my dad’s computer. I was worried, because I should ask my dad before I use his computer. He uses it for his work, and I can only use it for my homework. The reason is that he thinks it will go wrong if I play games on it.

Well, while my dad was out, we decided to try out David's game. We copied it to the computer, and after we finished playing, we took it off the computer. However, when I started the computer again to check if everything was OK, some of my dad's documents were missing. Then, when my dad used the computer last night, he was really angry. He could no longer find the documents anywhere! They were very important ones.

I did not tell him about the computer game because I did not want him to be angry with me. Now I feel terrible. I am not sure whether a computer engineer can get the documents back. Should I tell him about the computer game? Should I pay to repair it? Yours, Steve

Dear Steve.

Oh, dear! You have made two mistakes. It is bad enough that you used your dad's computer to play games when he told you not to. And it is even worse that you did not tell him about it. If you tell him the truth now, he will be angry with you, but at least you will show that you are honest. You should apologise to your father. You should also pay the bill to repair the computer. If you offer to give up your pocket money, your father will realise that you are very sorry. Remember, next time, play football with David and not computer games!

Best wishes. Diana

Module 7 Great books

Unit 1 We’re still influenced by Confucius’s ideas

Mr Jackson: Hello, Betty. What’s up?

Betty: I want to join an Internet group to discuss great books by great writers. Mr Jackson: So, who are your great writers?

Betty: Well, maybe Confucius and Shakespeare.

Mr Jackson: Really? I accept that they’re great because their works are still read by many people

today. But I think I’d describe Confucius more as a teacher and thinker than a writer. He was a very wise man. What do you have to do for the discussion?

Betty: Well, each of us reads a favourite book and writes a review for the discussion. Mr Jackson: I see. We’re still influenced by Confucius’s ideas, and Shakespeare’s plays also make

a lot of sense to us today. People have always read, and will always read great books. By the way, what do you think of Mark Twain, the great American writer in the nineteenth century?

Betty: He was important, but I suppose he isn’t as well-known as Confucius or Shakespeare. Mr Jackson: No, but his books are still popular, and one of his books is my favourite, The

Adventure of Tom Sawyer.

Betty: Great! Why don’t you join in the discussion and tell us about it?

Unit 2 It is still read and loved

A book review of The Adventure of Tom Sawyer

By Betty King

One of my favourite great books is The Adventure of Tom Sawyer, by Mark Twain. The story is set in the town of St Petersburg, Missouri, the US, in the nineteenth century. It tells some exciting stories about a boy who has many adventures.

Tom, the hero of the book, lives with his aunt Polly. He is a lively and clever boy. He does not like people telling him what to do, so he always gets into trouble. He and his best friend, Huck Finn, run away to an island in the middle of the Mississippi River. Tom has more trouble because a bad man named Injun Joe is looking for him. Later, Tom escapes from a cave with another friend, Becky. He also finds Injun Joe’s treasure box and takes it away.

My favourite part of the book is when Tom and Huck start their adventures on the island in the Mississippi River. At first, they are happy. But when they hear that everyone thinks they are dead, they feel very sorry, so they come back home. They hide and watch for a time when they see their family and neighbours coming to their funeral in the church. Then, Tom and Huck suddenly appear. Everyone is surprised to see them at first, but very pleased to find that they are alive.

The Adventure of Tom Sawyer is a great book. It is more than an adventure story. Mark Twain wrote it in 1876. It describes people’s lives in the southern states of America at that time. It tells how young people grow, how people love each other and how bad people pay for their actions. It is written in everyday English, and the dialogues sound especially real. Today, it is still read and loved by people all over the world, and it is thought to be one of the greatest American stories.

Module 8 Sports life

Unit 1 Daming wasn’t chosen for the team last year

Lingling: Hi, Tony, you look tired.

Tony: Yes, I’m training for the big match next week. Betty: Who are you playing against? Tony: HAS.

Lingling: What does HAS stand for? Tony: Haidian All Stars.

Betty: Oh, yes. It’ll be a difficult match. Didn’t they beat you last time? Tony: Yes, they did. But… Lingling: What was the score?

Betty: If my memory is correct, HAS 98 points to BIG 52.

Tony: But Daming wasn’t chosen for the team last time. That was a bad decision. We can’t play

well without him.

Lingling: That’s no excuse!

Tony: But Daming is back now. There’s no difference between the two teams this season. Betty: When is the match?

Tony: It’s next Saturday at noon, but if you want good seats, you should come by 11:30. Are you

coming?

Betty: I’m not sure. Do you think they’ll win, Lingling?

Lingling: No way! How many matches have you played against HAS this year? Tony: Well, about three.

Betty: And how many have HAS won? Tony: Er… most of them.

Betty: Wrong! All of them! Face the truth, Tony. You’ve got no chance! Tony: I don’t agree. That’s not fair! (Tony leaves angrily.) Lingling: Remember to throw the ball, not knick it, Tony!

Betty: He’s so mad at us that he’ll try harder to win, just to show we’re wrong! Lingling: Nice work, Betty! I do hope they win this time. We’ll be there to cheer for them.
