help me?

FOREIGNER: Oh, sorry．I said that I need to find my friends．

take the first left turn．Walk on until you reach the east gate．

Sample dialogue for situation 3:

TEACHER: Now for homework, you must write three

sentences using direct and indirect speech．Is that clear?

STUDENT: Sorry, Mr Wu, but Zhao Li can't follow you．

TEACHER: Pardon?

STUDENT: Zhao Li doesn't understand what you said．

TEACHER: Oh I see．Well, let me say it in a different way．If

I say "Get that homework finished by tomorrow". That uses direct

speech．It's also a command．

STUDENT: So if I say "Mr Wu told us to get our homework

finished tomorrow". that's indirect speech．But is it still a

command?

TEACHER: It is indeed．Even in indirect speech it's still a

command．How could I make it a request?

STUDENT: I suppose you would say:"Please will you get that

homework finished by tomorrow?" or "Please get that homework

finished by tomorrow．"

TEACHER: Quite right．Well done．

Sometimes the best way to understand a language is to

teach it to others．This speaking task requires students to think

about how they learn English and choose the methods that

helped them the most．

Sample dialogue:

S1: Now let's try and remember what helped us most when

we were first learning English．

S2: I remember that learning the grammar and then

practising it in situations helped me a lot．

S3: Yes, and I enjoyed the chants we used to sing and short

poems we used to say．

S4: But I learned the most from seeing the words written

down and doing the dialogues and readings．Do you remember

we used to read the dialogues in the book and then change them

a little using our own words．That was very good practice．

S1: What about listening to English? What helped us most to

improve that aspect of our English?

S2: The listening tapes that we had were very good．The

VCD, which used native speakers to teach the units, was very

helpful．The exercises where we repeated the English words

helped me with my pronunciation．

S3 and S4: Me too! Me too!

S1: So we should say that we learned our English by listening

to tapes with native speakers, by reading texts that were not too

difficult, by practising the grammar with chants and exercises, by

speaking English using the dialogues and practising the

pronunciation of new words．That seems very clear．So let's

make a list．

well now?”

Sample

Personally, I think learning English is very useful. Once I

master the language which is spoken by 5 to 7 million people, I

can read English articles, speak to the English native speakers and

even use it in business. Also I hope I can take part in the 2008

Olympic Games as a volunteer. I want to introduce our country

to the foreigners and let them know the great changes of our

I want to go abroad to learn their most

advanced technique some day.

I believe as long as I learn English well I can do more for our

country.

My experience of learning English

Many people all over the world speak English as their second

language. It is not too much to say that it has become an

international language.

Studying English can make life fun. It enables you to watch

American movies, read English books and listen to English songs.

Moreover, as English is an international language, you will be able

to communicate with foreigners when you are on a trip abroad.

Traveling will be more interesting that way.

It is a good idea to make friends with foreigners. In my

opinion, it is the best way to improve your English. In addition, it

will be fun and it will expand your view of the world. If you make

friends with a native speaker, you can practice your spoken

English more often and then you can communicate with people

around the world. You can also become familiar with the customs

and habits of different cultures.

There are some people who are afraid to make friends with

foreigners because they are not confident of their English.

However, many foreigners do not care about grammar. They will

get your key words in the sentence and figure out the whole

meanings. Therefore, it is unnecessary to be afraid to make

friends with them; just go head!

Learning English helps us meet different people and learn

more about their culture, thus facilitating mutual understanding

and harmony. Briefly said, English is so useful to us that we should

all learn it.
