Jim: Hi Dad, I have a rehearsal after school. Can you pick me up later? Dad: Sure. When does it end? Jim: We’ll finish at 7:00 p.m. if it’s on time. Can you pick me up at 7:15? Dad: OK. If everything goes well, I’ll see you at 7:15. If the traffic is too bad, you’ll have to wait for a few minutes. Jim: Got it. I'll wait for you at the school gate. Bye! Dad: Bye! Conversation 2 Emma: Grandpa, can you see me? Welcome to People's Park! Let me use the camera to show you around. Grandpa: Hello! Yes, I can see you and the park. Oh, people are singing and dancing. They seem happy. Emma: Yeah. Many people come here to exercise and relax. Grandpa: If I visit China this year, I will go to the park with you. It seems fun and lively. Emma: Great! If you can make it, I'll show you around the city and let you taste all the yummy local food. Grandpa: Wonderful! Section A, 2a and 2d Jason: Professor, thanks for the helpful speech on communication. I have a question. Sometimes my friends and I argue but don't know how to make up. What's the best way to communicate in this situation? Professor: If you want to solve the problem, a face-to-face talk usually works the best. Jason: I understand, but meeting in person is not always easy. Professor: If you can't meet, just call your friend. Some of you may prefer texting, but it takes longer and can make things worse if you're not careful with your words. Jason: But what if we argue more over the phone? Professor: If you stay calmly and say sorry, it will help. If it is still hard to talk, take a break. Meet when you're both ready. Jason: I'll call and try to meet. Because friendship is important. Thanks for the advice! Professor: You're welcome. Section B 1b How to Make a Better Conversation Do you get nervous when you talk to someone? Do you find it hard to have a conversation with a stranger? If you have such worries, it is time for you to learn some more conversation skills. Here are some tips for making better conversations. 1. Listen carefully and show interest in others. One of the most important things is to listen to the person you speak to. If you are a good listener, you will find some good points to ask questions about. For example, if someone tells you their hobby, you can ask questions about it. They will surely be happy to continue the conversation. 2. Choose the right topic. Some of the best topics might be the weather, sports, music, films, food, or travel. However, it is impolite to ask someone's age, weight, or other personal information. Also, if you don't agree with others, don't argue with them. Just move on to another topic. 3. Be honest and sincere. If you have no idea of a subject, just say “ I don’t know much about it.” If you want to make the other person happy, mention his or her strong points. But don't just pretend to be hide, because people can find out you are not telling the truth. 4. Pay attention to your body language. Sometimes it is as important as your words. Don't be nervous. Stand up straight, smile, and be yourself—you have a lot to offer. If you really work at it, you will find having conversations much easier. Reading Plus The Ant and the Grasshopper (Adapted from Aesop's Fables) It was summer time. The ant and the grasshopper were in the farmer's field. The ant was busy collecting corn. The grasshopper was relaxing in the sun. "Hey, Ant! Come sit with me," said the grasshopper. "No thanks," said the ant. "I have to take this corn home. I'm preparing for the winter." A few weeks later, summer was almost at an end. The ant continued to take corn home every day, but the grasshopper just played his violin and danced around. "Come on, Ant!" said the grasshopper. "Dance with me!" "No," replied the ant. "I'm going to get more corn. Why don't you join me? You should plan for the winter." "But the winter is so far away! Your work looks so boring! Come with me! Let's have a picnic!" "No, thanks, Grasshopper. I'm going to continue with my boring work." The grasshopper was silent for a while, but then he happily danced away. The ant looked tired, but she felt happy when she saw all the food in her kitchen. The autumn arrived and the weather became cool and windy. The grasshopper ran around the farm singing songs. The poor ant had to fight her way through the wind. She wanted to collect lots of wood. "Ant, it's too windy to work," said the grasshopper. "Come and sing with me!" "No, thanks, Grasshopper. There's just a little bit more work for me to do. I want to be warm in the winter." And then the cold winter came. The ant sat home by her fire, enjoying some lovely corn soup. Then she heard a knock at the door. "Oh, dear Ant," said the grasshopper. "You must help me! I have no food! And no fire to keep me warm!" "Sorry, Grasshopper, you must learn to look after yourself. Keep dancing and singing through the winter, and work hard when spring comes!" 人教英语八上单词+（听力+课文）文本+Reading Plus衡水体字帖 Unit 8 Let’s Communicate! 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
