Module 1 How to learn English
Unit 1 Let’s try to speak English as much as possible. 让我们尽可能多地讲英语
同学们，欢迎回来！Welcome back, everyone!
今天，我们打算谈论一下学习英语的好方法。Today, we’re going to talk about good ways to learn English.
准备好了吗？ Ready?
谁有一些建议? Who has some advice (n. 不可数)?
在课堂上我们应该总是讲英语。 We should always speak English in class.
好！让我们尽可能多地讲英语。 Good! Let’s try to speak English as much as possible.
为什么不在我们的笔记本上记下错误呢？Why not write down the mistakes in our notebooks?
那是个好主意，而且不要忘记在错误旁边写上正确的答案。还有其他的什么吗？
That’s a good idea. And don’t forget to write down the correct answers next to the mistakes. What else?
每天大声拼读生词是一个好主意。It’s a good idea to spell and pronounce new words aloud every day.
非常感谢你，玲玲。听广播怎么样？ Thanks a lot, Lingling. How about listening to the radio?
是的，那也有益于我们的发音。但有很多生词。Yes, that’s good for our pronunciation too. But there are so many new words.
你们不必理解每个单词（的含义）。你们只需要听关键词和主要意思。
You don’t need to understand every word. You just need to listen for key words and main ideas.
阅读也一样。英语故事如此有趣。通过阅读我逐渐了解了世界上的许多事情。
That’s the same for reading. English stories are so interesting. I get to know a lot about the world through reading.
我认为写作也很重要。我们为什么不尽量去找些讲英语的笔友呢？我们可以给他们写信。
I think writing is also important. Why don’t we try to find some English pen friends? We can write to them.
太棒了！我同意你（的提议）。Excellent! I agree with you.
Module 1 How to learn English Unit 2 You should smile at her! 你应该向她微笑！
很多学生咨询如何提高他们英语水平的建议。Many students ask for advice about how to improve their English. 这儿是三个基本问题。 Here are three questions.
第一个问题是关于理解英文电影和歌曲的问题。The first question is about understanding English films and songs. 来自湖北的李浩写道：“我喜欢看英文电影，听英文歌曲，但我只能理解一点儿。我可以怎么做呢？” Li Hao from Hubei wrote, “I like watching English films and listening to English songs, but I can only understand a little. What can I do?”
看电影和听歌曲是学习英语的很好的方式！Watching films and listening to songs are great ways to learn English! 看上或听上几遍，并猜测生词的含义。Watch and listen several times, and guess the meaning of the new words. 每一遍你都会学到新东西。Each time you will learn something new. 我还建议你和朋友们谈论一下这些电影或歌曲。I also advise you to talk about the films or songs with your friends.
第二个问题是关于说的。 The second question is about speaking. 来自吉林的王帆写道：“我们学校有一位来自美国的老师。我很腼腆，不敢与她说话。我该怎么办呢？”Wang Fan from Jilin wrote, “Our school has a teacher from the US. I am shy and I am afraid to speak to her. What should I do?”
你可以说：“嗨！你好吗？”“你喜欢中国吗？”这些都是展开交谈的好方式。
You can say, “Hello! How are you?”“Do you like China?”These are good ways to start a conversation. 在你开始（讲英语）前，你应该向她微笑！
And before you begin, you should smile at her! 记住这一点：不要害羞，去试一试。 Remember this: Do not be shy. Just try
第三个问题是关于词汇的。 The third question is about vocabulary.
来自安徽的张雷写道：“我写下生词，但我很快就忘记了它们。我怎样才能记住它们呢？”Zhang Lei from Anhui wrote, “I write down new words, but I forget them quickly. How can I remember them?”不用担心，忘记生词是很自然的！Do not worry. It is natural to forget new words! 我建议你每天把4个或5个单词写在纸片上并放在你的房间里。I suggest you write four or five words a day on pieces of paper and place them in your room. 看到这些单词的时候就读一读，并且尽量使用它们。
Read the words when you see them, and try to use them.

Module 4 Planes, ships and trains 飞机、轮船和火车
Unit 2 What is the best way to travel? 旅行的最佳方式是什么?

Question: What is the best way to travel from London to Amsterdam?
问题：从伦敦到阿姆斯特丹旅行的最佳方式是什么？
我打算从伦敦到阿姆斯特丹旅行。I am planning to travel from London to Amsterdam. 旅程花费多长时间？最佳的旅行方式是什么？How long does the journey take and what is the best way to travel? 你能告诉我坐火车或乘船到那里的情况吗？Could you please tell me about the trains or ships to get there? 信息越多，越好。The more information, the better. 谢谢。Thanks!

最佳答案：有四种旅行方式。Best answer: There are four ways to travel.
乘坐火车的旅程比乘坐长途公共汽车轻松，但比其贵多了。A journey by train is more relaxing than by coach, but a lot more expensive. 当你坐火车去时，旅行前很长时间买票。When you go by train, buy your ticket a long time before you travel. 这通常更便宜。It is usually cheaper.
你可以乘小汽车及轮船穿过北海。You can go by car and by ship across the North Sea. 这是最舒服的旅行方式，但也是最昂贵的。This is the most comfortable way to travel but also the most expensive. 在预定你的旅馆之前先订票。Book your ticket before you book your hotel. 记住在阿姆斯特丹停车很贵，因此住在市中心外面，坐公共汽车或火车旅行。Remember that parking in Amsterdam is very expensive, so stay outside the city centre and travel in by bus or by train.
第三个选择是乘长途公共汽车。The third choice is by coach. 这通常是最便宜的，但夏天公共汽车有时很拥挤！This is usually the cheapest, but in summer the coaches sometimes get crowded! 你花费大约12个小时到那里。And it takes you about twelve hours to get there. 然而，它花费不如坐火车多。However, it will not cost as much as going by train.
最后，你可以坐飞机。Finally, you can fly. 它是最快的且是第二便宜的，但因为恶劣天气你可能必须在机场等数小时。It is the fastest and the second cheapest, but you may have to wait for hours at the airport because of bad weather.
好吧，我希望这能有帮助！旅行愉快！Well, I hope this helps! Have a great trip!
