Betty: What’s that?
Lingling: Hot and sour soup. It’s made with chicken or

Do as the Romans do
There’s a saying, “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” And when
you eat Western food, do as the Westerners do. Here are some things
you may wish to know about eating together in the West.
In the West, lunch is eaten later, always after midday,
sometimes at one o’clock. Dinner is served around 7 pm or even
later. In Spain it’s usual to eat lunch at 2 pm and dinner at 10
At the start of a meal the Chinese usually say “manman chi”. The
French say “Bon appetit”, and the Italians say “Buon appetito”. But
there’s no similar expression in English! “Enjoy your meal” is
usually only said by a waiter. For “ganbei”, you can say
“Cheers”!
Chopsticks are only used when people eat Chinese food. Knives
and forks are used for most food. The fork is held in your left
hand and the knife in your right, and the food is held with the
fork and cut with the knife. Americans often cut all their food
first, and then put the fork in their right hand to eat it. Soup is
drunk with a spoon. However, there is some food which can be eaten
with your fingers, such as chicken legs, seafood, bread and
At the start of a meal, if you’re the guest, you’ll be invited
to serve yourself (“Help yourself!”), or your plate will be filled
by your host (“Can I serve you?”). If you’ve been given something
you don’t like, it should be pushed to the edge of the plate and
left. You don’t have to say why, but if you feel an explanation is
required, just say, “I’m sorry. I can’t eat this.” No one will be
cross. If you’re offered more food, but can’t eat any more, just
say, “No, thanks. It was delicious, but I’ve had enough.”
Generally, fewer dishes are prepared than in China. It isn’t
thought to be so important to offer too much food.
Finally, it’s sometimes difficult to know when the meal is over.
If you’ve been invited to dinner by Western friends, you’ll know
that you’re expected to stay and talk around the dinner table long
after the last dish has been brought to the table, and it’s thought
quite rude if you leave as soon as you finish eating.
The golden rule is: Watch the other people. Do as they do.

Meal times
lunch: after midday, around 1 pm
dinner: around 7 pm or later
Things to say
at the start of a meal:
in France: Bon appetit
in Italy: Buon appetito

Read the email and answer the questions.
Dear Richard,
I’m so glad you’re coming to China! Your mother tells me you’re
worried about what you should and shouldn’t do as a guest in China.
Here’s some advice. You will probably be invited to a big meal. You
may find it earlier than you expect because Chinese people eat
dinner much earlier than people in the West. There will be a lot of
different dishes, not just three courses. You may find it difficult
to use chopsticks if you haven’t tried before. It’s a good idea to
get some practice. When the food is served, you should take time to
look at it. The preparation takes a long time and everything will
look beautiful. The plates will be placed in the middle of the
table, for everyone to share. Take a little of everything and then
have some more of the things you like. Chinese people like to talk
about food, so it’s a good topic of conversation. At the end of the
meal, you will usually be served fruit. Eat your fruit, thank your
friends, and go.
I hope this is helpful. Email me if you have any other
questions.

Tony’s mum: Could you hear the dialogue?

difficult to understand.

Unit 2 It’s a wonderful town!
Read the passage. Which paragraph describes what you can see
in the photo?
The city that never sleeps
New York, New York, it’s a wonderful town!
The Bronx is up and the Battery’s down!
(On the Town, by Leonard Bernstein)
New York is probably the entertainment capital of the world, and
a great place to see the big names and top stars in films,
television, theatre and music. Sports fans have plenty of chances
to watch some great sport, and the New York nightlife is
world-famous.
Madison Square Garden is the place to watch the New York Knicks
Basketball Team and the Golden Gloves boxing competition. To watch
baseball, go to the Yankee Stadium, home of the New York Yankees or
Shea Stadium for the Mets.&
At New York’s finest arts cinema, the Film Forum, you can see
the latest foreign and American movies. But New York itself is the
subject of many movies by directors who come from New York, such as
Woody Allen and Martin Scorsese.
The great names of jazz have played in the jazz clubs of
Greenwich Village, and fans can listen to the stars of today and
tomorrow at the world-famous Blue Note.
The Metropolitan Opera House is the place to go for opera
lovers, but you have to book tickets a long time before you want to
go. One of the most important things to see at Christmas is the
Nutcracker by the New York City Ballet at Lincoln Centre.
Carnegie Hall is well-known for its concerts of all types of music,
classical and modern.
Broadway is not just a street but an area of New York. There you
can see some of the biggest and the best plays and musicals, such
as Evita, Cats and The Phantom of the Opera.
If you ever come to New York in summer, remember to spend a day in
Central Park watching a play by Shakespeare in the open air, with
famous actors from Broadway and Hollywood.
For lovers of painting, the best plan is to go to the Museum of
Modern Art or the Guggenheim Museum.
Restaurants can be found everywhere, and are open at all times
of the day or night. There has always been a huge number of
Italian, Chinese and Japanese restaurants, but now you can eat food
from Thailand. Vietnam, India, Burma or the Philippines. Try the
Oyster Bar in Grand Central Station for the best seafood in
Manhattan.
New York’s nightlife includes discos, like the Limelight, and
night clubs. In fact, it’s easy to see why they call it “the city
that never sleeps”.

and I’m proud of what I’ve learnt. I’ve reached a level which is
quite good ... and I hope it’s good enough for the exams, anyway.
Above all, it’s the subject that I’m best at, although my
handwriting could be better.
Betty: I think you’ve done really well. Learning a
foreign language requires a certain effort, however easy it is.
Lingling: I don’t think it’s really difficult to learn
English, although it’s a language which looks simpler than it
actually is. I just hope I can continue to make progress next
Betty: Have you ever been to an English comer?
Lingling: You mean, those clubs where you go to practise
your English? I always thought they were for people whose English
was already quite good.
Betty: Well, I went to an English corner once, and there
were some people whose level was fairly low. But it’s good to meet
other people who want to learn English, no matter how good their
English is. And you can often meet some people who come from the UK
or the USA.
Lingling: Anyway, what I like most is that you can use
English wherever you go in the world.
Betty: But I wonder if there will soon be more people
speaking Chinese.
Check who might think the following.
English corners are for people with a low level of English.
English is a simple language.
Chinese may be more popular than English in the future.
English is spoken all over the world.

Unit 2 We all own English.
Work in pairs. Answer the questions.
Now read the passage and check.
Who owns English?
English is spoken by about 400 million people in Australia,
Britain, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa and the USA. In
Ghana, India, Nigeria and Singapore, English is used for
government, education and trade, although there are many other
languages for everyday use. In China and most other countries, it’s
the most important foreign language that children will learn at
school, because it’s essential for tourism, international business,
entertainment, radio, television, newspapers, and the Internet. So
English is now used by about 1.5 billion people—or a quarter of the
world’s population, and wherever you go in the world, there is a
good chance that someone will speak English.
How did this happen? English has not always been the most common
language. Until English became important in the 20th century,
people who had any education spoke French. What’s more, English
spelling doesn’t give much help with pronunciation, and its grammar
is difficult, especially the word order.
The reason is that in the 18th century, the UK was a country
whose industrial products were sold all over the world. In the 20th
century, the USA spread English all over the world through
newspapers, television, films and advertising. It’s now the common
language for international travel, science, industry and in recent
years, information technology and the Internet.
But it’s also important to remember that English has borrowed
many words from other languages, either exactly the same word or
very similar. It uses restaurant from French, zero
from Arabic, piano from Italian, and typhoon,
china and many other words from Chinese.
Will the importance of English last? Many people think that, if
China continues to grow in importance, Chinese will become as
common as English by the middle of the 21st century. More and more
schools in Europe are teaching Chinese as a foreign language, in
place of other European languages. And tourism puts China into the
top 10 countries for visitors. But at least for the next 20 or 30
years, English will be the language used most widely．
So who owns English? The answer is everyone who speaks it — the
English, the Indians and the Chinese all help make it a rich
language. It changes every year with new words and expressions.
Even though there are differences in grammar, vocabulary,
pronunciation and spelling, we all belong to the international
English speaking world. We all own English.

Read the passage and choose the correct answer.
The development of English as a world language is one of the
most interesting events of the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
It is the language used by speakers of many different languages to
communicate with each other.
There are about 5.8 billion people who do not speak English as
either their first or second language. However, we have entered a
period in world history when children are all learning beginner or
higher level English. Already, there are almost 180 million
learners of English being educated in China, a number which is
rising. Also, many adults are learning English at work or in their
free time.
But looking into the future, the number of learners may grow
smaller almost as quickly as it increased. If the project to teach
English to the world’s primary schoolchildren is successful, the
children of the future will not need English lessons at all.
For many centuries, Latin was the common language between
educated people in Europe. But just as the use of Latin slowly
disappeared, English may also not remain the world language
forever. Many language learners are already expressing an interest
in learning Chinese, Spanish and Arabic.
1 English is a world language because ______.
a) there are 5.8 billion people who don’t speak it
b) 180 million people in China are learning it

Head teacher, teachers, grandparents, parents and classmates,
I’m very proud that I have been chosen to speak to you all today.
I’m a bit nervous as I’ve never made a speech before to so many
people, so please forgive me if it shows!
As we all know, this is the school leavers’ party, and it’s time
to say goodbye to everyone. We’re sorry to leave you at the end of
our junior high school education, and we promise that we’ll never
forget the happy times we have spent in these buildings with you
I’d like to thank three groups of people for the three things
I’ve learnt while I’ve been a pupil at our school. The three things
are friendship, love and knowledge.
The first group is my friends, and what I’ve learnt is the
importance of friendship. We’ve worked hard together, we’ve even
shared some difficult times together, but we’ve also had a lot of
fun. Many of us will go to new schools and we may not see each
other so often in the future. Others will go on to senior high
school and continue their close friendships. But friends don’t have
to see each other all the time. Sometimes the friends you treasure
most are the friends you see less often. A life without old friends
is like a day without sunshine. We’ll always stay in touch.
The second group is our parents and grandparents. We thank you
for the love you have shown us during our years at junior high
school, for making a home where we feel both safe and relaxed, and
where we can prepare ourselves for our school days. We also thank
you for your help with our homework. How many of us owe our good
grades to the suggestions you have made during those long
And finally, the third group is our teachers. We can never pay
you back for your kindness, your patience, and gift of knowledge
which you have offered us. Sometimes you’ve
sometimes you’ve made us work very hard. But you have always been
fair and you’ll always be our role models. There’s a saying from
Ireland which is a favourite of mine: Strangers are only friends
you haven’t met yet.
I couldn’t say it better myself. So from the bottom of my heart,
I thank you all and wish you success for the future.

Take a year off!
These days, more and more students in the UK are taking a “gap
year” between their graduation from school and their university
studies. This means that they take a year off, to do something
else, before they start their studies.
For most students, spending time in foreign countries is the
favourite activity—and Australia is the favourite place to go.
Many parents, teachers and business people agree that travelling
can teach important values.
“After a year of travelling, I felt I’d grown up. I had learnt
the importance of relationships with people, on all sorts of
levels.’’
There are many companies around the world that welcome these
students on their projects-helping people in poorer countries, or
even in your home country. Although you don’t get paid for your
work, this kind of work can teach important skills-decision making
and finding answers to problems, for example-that will help a
student in a job one day.
Finally, getting some knowledge and experience in an area you
hope to study or work in one day will always be very useful.
If several university graduates are applying for the same job,
gap year work experience allows you to say: “I’ve already had some
experience of this kind of work.”And that can get you the job!

Charlene is a dentist but she doesn’t work with people. She
works with horses. After university, she took care of animals’
medical health for several years, but she noticed that there were
few people who could help with horses’ teeth. She decided to go
back to college and study again. Then she had to buy special tools,
but she’s never out of work. She’s always very busy taking care of
horses’ teeth. “I couldn’t be a dentist for people now,” Charlene
said, “because I really enjoy working with horses.”
As soon as Mike could read, he read books about robots. But the
robots he builds today don’t look like the strange robot people in
his books. He builds robots for industry. Early on he made up his
mind to study science, maths and computers so that he could break
into the world of robot engineering. “Some of the maths is very
difficult,” says Mike, “but you must study maths to be an
engineer.” Fortunately, he got top marks in all his maths
