Text 3
W: Excuse me, Professor Li, but I think I found something wrong in your speech.

Text 4
M: How is your new apartment?
W: Well, it’s quite close to where I work, but it’s a bit small.

M: How did you learn English so well?
W: I’ve always enjoyed listening to pop music and watching English movies.
M: I never thought listening was so important. No wonder my pronunciation was imperfect. Any other suggestions?
W: While you listen, try to repeat what you hear and imitate the sounds.
M: I see. So I could practice speaking at the same time!
W: Of course, you still need to read a lot to improve your grammar and enlarge your vocabulary.
M: Should I look up new words when I encounter them?
W: Not always. Try to guess the meaning from the context first and then look it up in a dictionary to check your guess.
M: Guessing is definitely an important step. I haven’t thought about that.

M: Ma’am, I would like to apply for a volunteer job to help with waste sorting around our community.
W: Sure, I could help you with that. Could I have your name, age and address, please?
M: Michael, 16, and my address is Room 802, Building 10.
W: Do you have any related experience?
M: No, I happened to pass by some garbage bins yesterday and saw my classmate there. She told me that high school students can apply to be volunteers here.
W: All right. The job is to tell people to sort their trash according to the labels on the bins.
M: I am familiar with the sorting rules. I’m confident that I could accomplish the work.
W: OK. What are your available hours?
M: I’m available every afternoon when I get out of school.
W: You’re hired. Please come on Mondays and Wednesdays. We also have a uniform for you.

M: Did you watch the soccer game online last night?
W: No, I had work to do. Plus, the network connection at my house was a bit unstable. How did it go?
M: It was quite intense. The defense on both teams were awesome. Neither of the teams scored in 90 minutes so they had to play overtime.
W: What was the result for overtime then?
M: They still couldn’t score in 30 minutes of overtime, so the game went into a penalty shootout.
W: That sounds like a lot of pressure on the goalkeeper. A penalty shootout could go either way.
M: Yeah, so Barcelona scored all five penalties while Real Madrid missed out on two of them.
W: So you must be quite disappointed then.
M: I was quite prepared for it. It’s OK. We’ve still got another match to look forward to.
Text 9
W: Hi Joe, who does the Christmas shopping in your family?
M: It’s usually my wife. She has better taste than I do. What about your family?
W: It’s my job, but online shopping makes it much more convenient. I do not have to go to the crowded stores and wait in line anymore. Plus, the weather is horrible this year.
M: Yeah, it is. So what have you got for your family?
W: I’ve chosen a scarf for my father and a pair of gloves for my mother. My husband enjoys reading, so I got him a book. As for the kids, my daughter always prefers pretty dresses, and my son likes to draw.
M: So you got him some crayons?
W: No, he prefers paintbrushes and water colors as he gets older. However, it’s very hard to clean the mess he makes, so I got him an electronic drawing board.
M: That sounds cool. What features does it have?
W: It’s an LED board with a pen. It can erase itself by pressing the delete button. It’s also linked to an app so you could save the drawings easily. And it’s very portable.
M: I feel like getting one for my daughter right now. Could you share the link with me?
W: Sure. I’ll send it to you right away.
Text 10
M: In the 19th century, public schools developed fast; and since many of them were boarding schools, they had to keep boys occupied all day. Sports were a popular way of doing this. At first, each school had its own games with its own rules, but slowly fixed rules became established. In many schools, carrying the ball was not allowed — the game was called "football". Some schools, however, preferred a version of the game where players were allowed to carry the ball; one of these schools was in the small town of Rugby.
In 1863, a group of people, who had played ball games at different schools, met in London to fix rules for the game. They formed the Football Association. Eighteen years later, as the game was getting more and more popular, they organized the first FA Cup competition.
Following the example of schools and colleges, the owners of factories began encouraging employees to form teams, and football soon became very popular in the industrial north of England. By 1888, the game had become popular enough to support professional clubs, with 12 original clubs forming the Football League. Since then, the popularity of both football and rugby has continued to spread across the world.
