Hello listeners. Today we are talking about a woman teacher and principal in China. She was awarded the July 1st Medal in 2021—an award for outstanding members of the CPC. Do you know who she is? Yes, her name is Zhang Guimei. Zhang was born in Heilongjiang. When she was 17, she moved to Yunnan to become a middle school teacher. She worked tirelessly for many years. Life was very hard for her and her family, and Zhang suffered from serious health problems. However, the local community helped her during this difficult time. Later, Zhang decided to do something to help the poor in the community in return. She wanted to help girls from poor families get a proper education. So in 2002, Zhang decided to build a free public high school for girls in the mountains. After 6 years and lots of hard work, she opened Huaping Girls High School. However, it was even harder to make sure the girls were able to come to school every day. So, Zhang walked to almost every household deep in the mountains and talked to parents about the importance of education for girls. Finally, her hard work paid off. Thanks to Zhang, around 2,000 girls from poor families have taken the college entrance examination and realized the university dreams. Zhang gave the girls in the mountains the chance to see the world outside. She is truly a role model of our time.

Syllables
Today we'll learn Word stress.
What's the connection between syllables and stress?
When we say words with more than one syllable, we usually stress one of the syllables.
Say these two-syllable words and stress the first syllable.
Say these two-syllable words and stress the second syllable.
Words with three or more syllables usually have the stress on the third syllable from the back, but there are many exceptions.
Listen and repeat. Pay attention to the underlined syllables.
P107
Three things you need to do to pronounce stress correctly.
1. The stressed syllable should be louder.
2. The stressed syllable should be a little higher.
3. The stress syllable should be a little longer in time.
When you look up a word in a dictionary(字典), the thing that looks like an apostrophe(撇号) shows you where the stress is. When you see this apostrophe, the next syllable is the stressed syllable.
1. Can you ask and answer questions to talk about your role models?
2. Can you pronounce word stress correctly?
Read the new words of Unit 7 on pages 148-149. Check with your partner to see if you're pronouncing the word stresses correctly.
