The performers from both schools did their best to entertain the audience with song after song. Their performances are undoubtedly of high quality, which makes the concert almost no different from a live one. I enjoyed every second of the concert and was particularly attracted when the boys and girls from Britain started to sing the traditional Chinese song “Liang Zhu”. They performed the song in a way that touched my heart and gave me a feeling of connection. I hope there will be more opportunities in the future for us Chinese students and our international friends to learn about and from each other. 大作文 One possible version Finally, it was my turn to perform, and I felt extremely nervous. I didn’t want to be regarded as different from the others. Isla walked to me and hugged me tightly. “Come on, Emily!” Isla encouraged me. “I believe you will do great because you are a wonderful dancer. Don’t care too much about what others think. Just trust yourself." Soon, I took my place on the stage. I remembered every step and every move. When the music was over, the crowd burst into cheers. At that moment, I felt like a dancing queen! I stepped off the stage and expressed my thanks to Isla, who was ready to sing. I was a little worried at the beginning because the crowd became restless. Luckily, Isla ignored it. I stood up, shouting, “Isla, you are the best!” Her homemade dress was shining in the light, but her eyes were clouded with tears. When Isla’s singing died down, all the students were still lost in her unique voice. Some even began singing like her, and then more. Their singing resounded around the hall. I rushed to the stage after her performance, hugging her cheerfully. That was enough! We could never be distanced. 听力原文 Text 1 W: Hi, Steve. Did you check the weather for this week? M: Hi, Molly. Yes, I did. It will be fine tomorrow. But it looks like there will be heavy rain and strong wind this weekend. Text 2 M: Smile for the camera! This is an exciting day. It’s your sixteenth birthday! W: I don’t want to smile! I had a bad day at school, and getting my photo taken is the last thing I need. M: Oh, come on. I have a surprise for you later! Text 3 M: This bread is a little hard. Is this old bread or something? W: No, I bought it fresh, but it was in the fridge for two days. I just took it out a few minutes ago. You need to put it in the oven. Text 4 W: Can you help me with this essay? I’m trying to write my conclusion, but I’m not really sure how to go about it. M: Sure. You should give a summary of the main points of your essay, but also try to leave your reader with an interesting thought or idea. Text 5 M: Maria, look! What is that? It looks like a dead animal. I’m afraid to go near it. W: Oh, George, that’s just a plastic bag! Look, you can tell what it is when it blows in the wind. M: I think I’ve been watching too much Discovery Channel. Text 6 M: I’m calling about plane tickets to London. I understand you are offering a special discount right now. W: That’s correct. Right now, we are offering business class tickets at 20% off our regular rates. The condition is that you must spend at least five days in London, and you must leave on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday. M: I see. That’s not really going to be convenient for me. I can’t leave until Friday afternoon at the earliest. And I have to fly back right after a meeting there on Monday morning. W: That is bad news for two reasons. First, the special discount is not in effect at that time, and there are no seats available on our Friday flight. M: That’s a real pity. But I have to fly to London, anyway. I’ll just go check online. Text 7 M: Jessica, will you be attending the goodbye party for Yolanda? It’s scheduled to begin at 7:00 across the street at the Italian restaurant. W: I’ll be there eventually, but probably not until late. I’m waiting for a call from our Australian office, and that means I’ll have to be here until at least 9:00. M: But Yolanda won’t be staying too late because she needs to catch an early flight tomorrow morning. This will be your last chance to see her before she moves away to start her new job in Paris. Can’t you have your assistant wait for the call? You could have dinner and then go back when the call comes in. W: Hey, that’s a great idea. OK! Count me in! Text 8 M: Bonnie, I’m super nervous right now. W: Why? What’s up? I thought you were flying down to Los Angeles today. Are you afraid of flying or something, Trevor? M: No, I fly all the time. It’s just that I’m doing my biggest interview of my entire career tomorrow, and I don’t want to mess it up. W: Come on, you’ve been at the magazine for more than a year. Your editor wouldn’t send you down there unless he had confidence in your abilities. Who is the interview with? M: Quentin Tarantino. W: Uh… what? Quentin Tarantino? The director? Are you serious? M: Yeah! W: Oh, my God! I can’t believe this! Pulp Fiction is my favorite movie of all time, and Kill Bill might be number two. And even my parents liked Jackie Brown. He’s, like, an A-list director! He might be the best director of the last twenty years. M: Did you see now why I’m nervous? W: Yes, I’d be scared out of my mind if I were you. But this will be good for your career. Hey, there is something that I still don’t understand. M: What? W: Why on earth did Quentin Tarantino agree to accept an interview with your magazine? M: What’s that supposed to mean? W: Um… never mind. Good luck down there! Get a good night’s sleep tonight because Saturday will be the biggest day of your life! Text 9 M: We’re so happy to have you here on the show with us today! So, what was it like filming a movie in Iceland? W: Very cold! I had never been to Iceland before, so I didn’t really know what to expect. There aren’t a lot of people in the country. We were filming in this small fishing village, so it wasn’t uncommon to go days without seeing anyone. The villagers mainly kept to themselves. M: I think everyone in the audience is dying to know if you hung out with Johnny Depp. W: Yes, of course. He was staying at the house, too. M: Well, what is he like? W: He’s very nice. He also told some really great jokes. He spent a lot of time being wrapped up in blankets when we were on set. It snowed quite a bit for the first few days. Text 10 M: Good morning. I’m Bill Smith from Riverside Travel Agency. I am so happy to be with you on Leeds City Radio. Today, I’m going to talk about the biggest island, the so-called “last white spot” on Earth: Greenland. Our agency runs two tours per season to Greenland. Each tour lasts eight days, and we offer an extraordinary experience in this magical land. To begin with, the beautiful Arctic scenery is almost endless, and with a total population of only 55,000, you are truly on your own as soon as you leave one of the small towns and settlements. Humans are the exception in this place. The mountains, valleys, rivers, and huge ice caps are practically untouched. However, what attracts tourists most must be the whale watching. Greenland’s whale watching can be enjoyed from the streets or even from your hotel room. If you sail along the coast on a passenger ship, the captain will often announce when whales are close.
