I’m nothing special, in fact I’m a bit of a bore
If I tell a joke, you’re probably heard it before
But I have a talent, a wonderful thing
‘Cause everyone listens when I start to sing
I’m so grateful and proud
All I want is to sing it out loud

So I say
Thank you for the music, the songs I’m singing
Thanks for all the joy they’re bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honestly
What would life be
Without a song or a dance what are we
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me

Mother says I was a dancer before I could walk
She says I began to sing long before I could talk
And I’ve often wondered, how did it all start
Who found out that nothing can capture a heart
Like a melody can
Well, whoever it was, I’m a fan

So I say
Thank you for the music, the songs I’m singing

IV. Speaking Out
Model 1 Will you come with me?

Laura: Well, I guess I am. Why?
John: I’ve got two Star Wars premiere tickets. Will you come with me?
Laura: Yeah, definitely! Thanks for inviting me!
John: It’s my pleasure.
Laura: I really wanted to see Star Wars on the opening night, but the tickets were sold out. How did you manage to get hold of them?
John: A friend of mine works at the “Pepsi” headquarters, which is a major sponsor of the movie. So he was able to get the tickets for free.
Laura: Wow, people are paying as much as $200 each on the black market. I’m flattered you went through all this trouble just for me.
John: You’re welcome.

Now Your Turn
SAMPLE DIALOG
A: Hi, are you busy this weekend?
B: Yes. What’s on your mind?
A: I’ve got two tickets for the car exhibition. Would you like to go with me?
B: Sure. Thanks for your invitation.
A: It’s nothing.
B: I’ve been wanting to see exhibition, but it was not at all easy to get a ticket. How did you manage to get two tickets?
A: A friend of mine works at the exhibition center. She was able to get three free tickets.
B: Wow, people are paying almost 100 yuan for a ticket on the black market. Thank you very much indeed for inviting me.
A: No problem.
Model 2 What did you think about the movie?
John: So… what did you think about the movie?
Laura: Well… I think this Star Wars episode is an excellent piece of work, but not as good as the
previous ones.
John: Really? But I think this Star Wars episode was incredible!
Laura: Why do you think so?
John: Well, one of the most spectacular things about it was the special effects. State-of-the-art
special effects were the main reason for the success of the previous episodes.
Laura: You’re right. The special effects were amazing! And I like the fact

that they created so
many fantastic settings and other-worldly costumes, weapons and creatures.
Now Your Turn
SAMPLE DIALOG
A: What did you think about The Lion King?
B: Well… I think this cartoon was pretty good, but not as good as Beauty and the Beast. It’s a killer flick.
A: Really? But I think The Lion King was unbelievably good.
B: I thought it was just OK. Why do you think so?
A: Well, it’s so interesting that the lives of the lions were similar to the lives of human beings.
B: You’re right. The murder in The Lion King was almost the same as the murder in the Shakespearean play Hamlet.

Model 3 The plot is first-class.
John: It’s kind of cool that they still used the same Star Wars theme song for this movie.
Laura: Yeah! It just reminds me of the previous Star Wars scenes.
John: I know exactly what you mean! Hearing that song makes me think of the past.
Laura: I think the plot was first-class. But I don’t think the character development was that strong.
John: Do you think that has anything to do with the casting of the movie?
Laura: No, the casting was great; the actors are excellent, but I think the acting was a little weak. They just didn’t have a lot of funny or meaningful lines.
John: Well, maybe, but I liked the little kid that played “Skywalker”. I can’t imagine anyone else playing that part.
Laura: Yeah, I liked him too. He’s soooo cute!
Now Your Turn
SAMPLE DIALOG
A: What do you think about the movie?
B: I think the plot was first-class. But I don’t think the character development was so strong.
A: Yes, the characterization was rather weak. Do you think it is because of the casting of the movie?
B: No, the cast was strong. But the acting was rather poor. And the lines are not interesting at all.
A: Well, maybe. But I liked the heroine of the movie. She is excellent.
B: Yeah, I liked her too. She’s adorable!

Task 1: Only One Line
Peter has always wanted to be an actor, but never succeeded because he had a hard time memorizing lines. A friend of his told him about a small part in a play. He promised Peter that he could do it because he’s only have to remember one line. Peter decided to take the part. His only line was, “Listen, I hear the guns roar!” Peter practiced and practiced, “Listen, I hear the guns roar!” On the opening night of the play Peter was very nervous. Backstage, he practiced his line, over and over again, “Listen, I hear the guns roar! Listen, I hear the guns roar!” Finally came his turn, Peter went onto stage. He heard a loud BOOM and cried out in spite of himself, “WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?”

Se-Jin: Well, you’re right. I just broke up with Alice.
John: Oh, I’m sorry. I thought you two were made for each other.

Se-Jin: Maybe you’re right.
John: I don’t know what to say to comfort you, but try to cheer up!

Model 2 Leo proposed to me.

Jane: It’s true that age isn’t the most important issue, but what would your parents think?

Model 1 Who pays?
Laura: Hey!
Bob: Hey! Look, this is a cool TV commercial. “Things go better with Coke!”
Laura: I think the Pepsi commercial is just as attractive: “The choice of a new generation!”
Bob: Yeah, but the competitors are just canceling out each other’s efforts.
Laura: That’s quite true. They both spend piles of money to increase their market shares, but neither gains.
Bob: I’m afraid the extra costs of advertising will be passed on to the consumers.
Laura: I hear that the advertising produces a good image of a product, and that leads to consumer brand loyalty.
Bob: What do you mean by consumer brand loyalty?
Laura: It means consumers are loyal to a certain product and keep buying it. Also, they’re willing to pay more.
Bob: It seems contradictory. In other words, more sales mean lower production costs, but more advertising means higher costs to the consumer. In the end the winner is of course the company.
Laura: That’s true!
Now Your Turn
A: Look, “Make yourself heard!” The Ericsson’s TV commercial is so cool.
B: I think the Nokia’s commercial is just as fascinating: “Connecting People.”
A: I’m afraid consumers will have to pay for the advertising.
B: I hear that the advertisements create as a favorable on\mage of a product, and that leads to consumer brand loyalty.
A: Could you explain “consumer brand loyalty”?
B: I mean consumers identify with the product and keep buying it. Sometimes they’re even willing to pay more.
A: It is contradictory that increases sales lead to a lower production cost per unit, but more advertising results in greater costs for consumers. The winner is always the company.
B: I agree.
Model 2 Beware of ads!
Peter: Mind if I switch channels? Those TV commercials are killing me.
Jane: How can you say that? Watch: “Take Toshiba, take the world.” Fantastic! There’s a product you can depend on. A powerful product.
Peter: If I were you, I wouldn

’t trust those commercials.
Jane: Now, look at this McDonald’s commercials! Aren’t those little kids cute? Oh, and there’s such a warm family feeling.
Peter: Just how an advertising agency wants you to see McDonald’s. you’re the target audience.
When they make TV commercials, they use scientific methods to learn what you’ll like and buy.
Jane: Are you telling me those darling little children biting into Big Macs are part of a scientific project to get me into McDonald’s?
Peter: Advertises don’t bother with facts more. Instead they want the end-user—that’s you—to fall in love with their product.
Jane: I see. So what you’re saying is, “Watch out, or commercials will take over your life.”
Now Your Turn
A: Shall we switch to another channel? I don’t like those TV commercials.
B: Why do you think so? Look: Just do it! What a powerful product.
A: I doubt it.
B: Now, look at this L’Oreal commercial. The model’s skin is so smooth.
A: This is what they want you to believe: use the product and you will get the same skin.
B: You mean they are lying about the product? I don’t really think so.
A: Advertisers now appeal to emotions, not reason. They want you to like their product.
B: Well, I don’t really agree with you, but we can switch to another channel.
Model 3 Are the free magazines free?
Now Your Turn
A: What’s that brochure you’re reading?
B: It’s a giveaway brochure you can easily find here and there. It’s got some pretty interesting things in it.
A: Do you really think so? It’s not really free. Look at all the ads in it.
B: Could be, but I don’t have to pay for it.
A: You bet you do. The cost6oof the ads is included in the products.
B: Still, I think advertising tells me about new products. It helps me in choosing what to buy.
A: This is just what the advertisers want you to do.
B: But some commercials are really fascinating. Besides, you’re didn’t have to believe all the ads.
A: Well, let’s go swimming.

Se-Jin: What are you getting her?
John: I’ve got just the perfect idea. A dog.
Se-Jin: A dog? Would she like that?
John: She’ll love it. My dad works long hours each day, and I think with me away at school, she is a bit lonely. And I’ll just get a small one, a Pekinese.
Se-Jin: Good idea! The dog will be company for her.
Now Your Turn
A: Hi, come shopping with me. I want to buy a gift for my neighbor.
B: What for?
A: His wife died a couple of weeks ago, and he is feeling lonely. He’s been kind to us. I want to buy something to cheer him up.
B: What do you want to get for him?
A: I’m thinking of buying a bunch of flowers for him.
B: But I’ve got a perfect idea. A dog.
A: A dog? Why?
B: He’ll be crazy about it. He’s so lonely; he needs company rather than beautiful flowers.
A: Good thinking! The dog can keep him company.
Model 2 Where to walk dogs?
Bob: There’s some talk of a businessman building a dog park in Shanghai.
Laura: Really, what on earth for?
Bob: Apparently there is a law against having dogs on the streets.
Laura: Does it mean that the dogs have to stay inside apartments at all times?
Bob: It sounds pretty cruel, doesn’t it? Maybe the park is a good idea.
Laura: Maybe they should just allow people to walk their dogs on the streets.
Bob: But in many large cities where dogs can be

walked, the streets are a mess. I heard Paris is the worst.
Laura: Couldn’t people just clean up after their dogs?
Bob: Would they?
Now Your Turn
A: Have you heard the city has passes a law against walking dogs in the streets?
B: Sure, it’s published in the newspapers.
A: It means that dogs have to be kept inside all the time.
B: It’s rather cruel, isn’t it? We shouldn’t be so cruel to dumb animals.
A: But dogs often leave a mess from their dogs.
B: But owners can clean up the mess from their dogs.
A: Would they?
B: Perhaps the best solution is to build a dog park. Then people can walk their dogs there.
A: Sounds too good to be realistic. The city is already too crowed without the dogs.
Model 3 What does having a few fish do for you?
Philip: Wow! I see you’ve bought an aquarium. Nice!
Peter: You should get one too. I highly recommend it.
Philip: Why? What does having a few fish do for you?
Peter: I find it relaxing just to sit down and watch tropical fish at the end of a tiring day.
Philip: I can understand. I like to take it easy after work , too.
Peter: There’s more than that. They’re really fascinating. They give you hours of entertainment, believe me.
Philip: Perhaps I should give it a try.
Peter: OK, I can lend you a couple of good reference books.
Philip: Great! Any other tips on getting started?
Now Your Turn
A: Wow! You’ve bought a discman! It does look nice!

Model 1 How did you like the fashion show?
Laura: How did you like the fashion show last night?
John: It was dumb. I think it’s stupid of women to wear clothes like that.
Laura: I didn’t see anything wrong with the clothes; they looked pretty nice to me.
John: Do you really think people can wear that stuff and walk around the streets?
Laura: Yes, I do. At least, some people certainly can. They wear high-fashion clo

thes to show off their sense of style and wealth.
John: Well, I still think they’re dumb. It makes more sense to spend the money on more practical purposes.

A: The dress seemed quite al right to me. In fact, they looked pretty nice to me.
B: Do you really think people can wear that stuff and walk around the streets?
A: Yes, I do. Don’t forget this is already the 21st century. Some people wear high-fashion clothes to show off their sense of style as wealth.

John: No, I don’t like Nikes at all.
Salesman: Well, why don’t you try on this pair of Reeboks and see how they feel?
John: Okay. But I think they are going to be on the small side. Oh, there, I’m afraid are a bit too tight. Do you have a size 24?
Salesman: I’m sorry, they’re all sold out. But I’ll be glad to order a new pair of you.

John: I don’t know…Some music CDs, maybe.
Se-Jin: If you spend all that money on things you don’t even know if you want, you won’t have any money left when you need it.
John: But if I just save my money, that doesn’t s sound like much fun either. Besides, I need some new CDs.

Peter: But if I became a millionaire, I’d buy whatever I wanted.
Jane: Can you buy true love? Can you buy the moon?
Peter: Maybe not, but I can buy a house with a lot of modern conveniences.
Jane: So many people think like you do, buy look at all the divorces, suicides and murders among wealthy people. How do you explain that?

To keep our children safe from those dangerous criminals, these tips might be helpful. First, children should be encouraged always to ask permission from their caregiver before they go anywhere .They should not only tell the care giver where they will be at all times, but also who will be looking after them. also, children should never walk or ride their bikes alone. Instead, they should travel in groups whenever possible. more importantly, children should be taught to stay away from strangers, though they may offer to show them a puppy or give them candy.children should be taught to say “no” and run, scream, or fight if necessary. moreover,children should be told that no problem is too big or too small to ask grown-ups. in fact,it is never too late to ask for help ,and to keep asking until they get the help they need. last but not least ,we should realize that many child-attack cases involve a family member or family friend, for example, a stepfather, sister’s boyfriend, babysitter, neighbor, and so on.

Peter: Yeah, that’s too high a price to pay. It’s almost a rip-off. The bootleggers use industrial alcohol to cut costs and increase profits.
Jane: Perhaps we should cut taxes on liquor. With lower taxes, bootlegging will decrease.
Peter: But that can create a new problem. That’s not in agreement with the WTO rules.
Jane: I think through negotiation with other nations, perhaps we can cut taxes under the WTO framework.
Peter: That may be tough. Perhaps a better solution is to create harsher sentences for bootleggers.
Jane: I agree. Our country needs a special team to deal with this problem. Then we can crack down on bootlegging.

Protecting Intellectual Property Rights
Richard: I understand why publishing houses have called for a crack down on illegal copies of
books. It’s a big loss for them if everyone buys pirated books instead of paying the full
price.
Nancy: I agree. If the publishers don’t take action against illegal publications, they and the
authors of the books lose money. Then the publishers have to save money by lowering
the quality of their books.
Richard: That’s why intellectual property rights have to be protected. It will do do good not only
for the publishers, but to consumers as well.
Nancy: You said it. I’m all for protecting intellectual property rights. But I also think books are
getting more expensive every day, and some students have no choice but yo buy cheap
books.
Richard: I beg to disagree. There is no excuse for college kids to buy mobile phones and then say
they can’t afford books.
Nancy: But to really solve the piracy problem, we need cheaper books as well as harsher
punishments.
