Unit 1 Festivals and Celebrations
Listening and Speaking
Phoenix flutes make music,
The jade clepsydra flashes,
Fish and dragon lanterns
whirl the whole night long.
—Xin Qiji
凤箫声动,
玉壶光转,
一夜鱼龙舞。
In the east wind tonight a thousand trees burst into bloom
And stars are blown down like rain;
The whole perfumed road is thronged
With fine carriages and horses bright with gems;
Phoenix flutes make music,
The moonlight flashes,
Fish and dragon lanterns whirl the whole night long.
Golden willow and butterfly trinkets in her hair;
Laughing and chatting she leaves a faint fragrance behind.
A thousand times I search for her in the crowd
And, suddenly turning my head,
Discover her where the lantern lights are dim.
东风夜放花千树。
更吹落、星如雨。
宝马雕车香满路。
凤箫声动,
玉壶光转,
一夜鱼龙舞。
蛾儿雪柳黄金缕。
笑语盈盈暗香去。
众里寻他千百度。
蓦然回首,
那人却在,
灯火阑珊处。

Conversation 2
Li Mei: I'm ready for Carnival, Carla. Shall we go and join the parade now?
Carla: You must be joking, Li Mei!That dress is too thick. Do you realise that it's 35℃ out there? Also,we're going to march along the streets for hours and dance until midnight. You need to change.
Li Mei: OK. What should I wear?
Carla: Wear somcthing light and cool. I also think you need to wear more comfortable shoes. It'll be too tiring to walk or dance for a long time in those shoes.
Li Mei: Hmm ... You're right. Can you wait for me? I'll change right away.
Carla: Sure.
Li Mei: Carla, how do I look now!
Carla: Fantastic! Now let's go and enjoy this festival! It's going to be so exciting!
