Tapescript
Boy1: Wow, you sure have lots of cool stuff. What a great jacket!
Boy2: Yeah, it’s new. I really like it. I like clothes that are unusual.
Boy1: Yeah, me too. Say… is that a new book over there?
Boy2: Yes, it is. It’s a book about volleyball. It tells about how to become a good player.
Boy1: Is it good?
Boy2: Yeah, it’s great. I like writers who explain things well.
Boy1: Me too. Ummmm, Michael?
Boy2: Yes?
Boy1: Uhhh… Where did you get that movie poster?
Boy2: Oh, the Monster Lizard poster? My brother got it for me. He works at a movie theater.
Boy1: It’s a great poster.
Boy2: Yeah, it is. I love movies that are about monsters, don’t you?
Boy1: I sure do. Say… Michael… Do you think your brother could get a Monster Lizard poster for me
Boy2: Probably. I’ll ask him.
Boy1: That would be great.
Find out all the expressions in their talk and copy them after class into your phrase book.

2c Doing groupwork

I like movies that that are sad. I love “Sinking Ship”.
Oh, I don’t. I like movies that have scary monster. I really like “A Headless Man”.
I like writers who explain things well.
Oh, I don’t. I like writers that describe feelings well.
3a Reading and circling
On page 48 are three reviews. Circle the things the reviewers like, and underline what they don’t like.
While you are reading them the second time, darken all the relative clauses and useful expressions.
Yellow River Fishermen
This is Hong Tao’s latest movie. I like Hong Tao. He’s made some great movies over the years. Unfortunately, this is the worst movie. If you’re looking for entertainment, stay at home and watch TV. Yellow River Fisherman is too long, and it’s really boring. It does have a few good features, though. I thought the fisherman’s wife was really funny.
Amy Kim, Photography
Be sure to see this exhibition at the Lido Gallery. Amy Kim is one of the best known Chinese photographers in the world today, and some of her best loved photos are on display in this exhibition. She really has something for everyone. There are many great photos of people and of the countryside. The few city photographs are less successful. I see the same things every day and they don’t interest me as much. But this is a great show from a world class photographer. Whatever you do, don’t miss the exhibition.
Wild and Windy
Over the years, we’ve seen musical groups with pretty strange names come and go. Few have stranger names than this band. As the name suggests, the band has lots of energy. And they play the kind of music that I love to hear. Every song is really loud and often you can’t understand the words, but this is okay because the lyrics aren’t very good. However, these are musicians who make us happy— even on a Monday morning！
3b Reading and completing
Read the three reviews again to find information to complete the chart on page 48.

Lighthousekeeping By Jeannette Winterson
Harcourt
An orphan taken in by a blind lighthouse keeper finds his stories provide keys to find the way out of her own past's darkness. Lighthousekeeping is a moving, poetic story of journeys into light and the power of storytelling, recommended for older teens who will relish the lyrical language.
Trashcan Joe: Wrong Side of Town
I couldn't be more excited to announce Trashcan Joe on CD Baby. I first heard these guys at a birthday party in Taiyuan. Let me tell you, as soon as these guys start playing on their instruments, everyone shuts up and dances along. There is an unmistakable genius in this catchy mix of 1920's style jazz, folk and blues that leaves all the others in the dust.
Dark Water
Dark Water is a Japanese ghost story turned into a American motion picture. Dark Water has plenty of creepy moments, but few scares, and it becomes bogged down in setup. The payoff is also a little disappointing in that it mines familiar territory, offering little that's original or surprising.

Subject: Hong Kong From: Lingling
Dear pen pal,
I’m having a great time in Hong Kong, although I have to be honest and say that I prefer Shanghai. Still, it’s a great place to visit and I’m lucky to be here for my six-month English course. Some other students are learning French. I might like to learn some too. What languages would you like to learn?
There’s just so much to see and do here. Last night I went to a Chinese music concert. Most of my friends like loud music that they can dance to. I prefer quiet, traditional music so the concert suited me just fine. What kinds of music do you like?
Before the concert we went for Italian food. Do you like it? There’re lots of different kinds of food here. I don’t know what to try next. What kinds of food do you prefer?
My host family is taking me over to an Indian film festival next weekend. I’m not sure what to expect because I’ve never seen an Indian film. Have you? Some people say they’re boring, others say they’re great. What kinds of films do you prefer?
Yours,
Lingling
This a reply to Lingling.
