Unit 1 Look it up!-Section 1 Experiencing and understanding language-Listening

This section focuses on developing students' listening skills within the context of encyclopaedic knowledge. The listening material is likely to be an encyclopaedia entry about a famous figure, such as Nie Er as mentioned in some resources. Through this, students will be exposed to important information about the person, like their life experiences, achievements, and contributions. It aims to not only enhance students' ability to understand spoken English but also to expand their knowledge about different fields and figures, deepening their understanding of the theme "Using encyclopaedias to explore knowledge, express ideas and understand cultures".
