Tapescript
Jenny: Hey Bob, have you seen the sci-film that everyone’s been talking about?
Bob: Yeah, it’s great! The Beasts from Mars!
Jenny: I just saw it last night. It is enjoyable except that those aliens are really
frightening.They aren’t like us at all! They are more like huge fire-breathing
bears!
Bob: I know! They look really strange and they aren’t intelligent at all. I’d hate to
meet aliens like that. I don’t know why those scientists bring them to the Earth.
Jenny: Right, they just want to destroy everything, don’t they?When they see something
like a car or a house, they just breathe on it until it is a ball of fire.
Bob: Yes, it’s quite scary.Do you think aliens like that really exist on other planets in
outer space?
Listening
Jenny: Well.I’m not sure about aliens like that, but I guess it's possible that there’s life or
other planets. What do you think?
Bob: I think there must be life somewhere. I hope they are friendlier than the beasts from
Mars,though. I’ve read a book called Strangers from Space recently about aliens
who come to the Earth to save us. They look like big jelly but they much more
intelligent than us.
Jenny: Oh, really? How do we manage to understand them?
Bob: That is what half of the book is about. The aliens don’t speak; they just draw
pictures their message. People from all over the world work together to translate
their language and find out their message.
Jenny: I see. So they are warning us of some danger?
Listening
Bob: Exactly.Another group of aliens are coming here to take over the Earth. With the
help of these strange jellyfish, we manage to fight them off!
Jenny: That sounds exciting. I’ll have to check it out!

comes to his rescue.

Writing
Sample
Alf took Paul to his home planet first because he wanted Paul to see what life was like there. Paul was nervous but also excited to be the first human visitor to another planet. Walking out of the spaceship, Paul noticed that this was an unusual planet. He could see strange buildings, trees and animals. Suddenly, a green space monster with three octopus’legs, one enormous yellow eye and a mouth full of sharp teeth moved quickly towards Paul. He realized that he was in danger!
Writing
Paul tried to run back into the spaceship, but the door was locked. The space monster moved past Paul and jumped up at Alf. The monster was giving strange growls and was attacking Alf, so Paul looked for a place to hide. He ran into a building close by, running up the stairs as fast as he could. But it was too late-he could hear the growling monster coming after him up the stairs. Luckily, Paul saw a big cupboard and he quickly hid inside it.
Paul could hear the monsters heavy footsteps as it came into the room. Paul was shaking-there was nowhere to escape. Without
Writing
Sample
warning the cupboard door flew open. The monster was getting ready to attack Paul when Alf came running into the room and grabbed the monster by the neck and shouted, “No!” Then, he held his hand out to Paul and helped him out of the cupboard and said, “Paul, I'd like to introduce you to my baby pet, Fluffy!” Fluffy looked at Paul, yawned, and promptly fell asleep.Paul was still shaken up but felt relieved to know that the “scary” monster was not dangerous after all, and actually just wanted to lick his face.
Writing
Sample
Alf told Paul he would take him to meet his family. Together, Alf, Paul and Fluffy went to Alf’s house nearby. After meeting Alf's parents and sister, Paul realized that even though he and Alf were totally different species, they had some things in common. For example, they both had a sister and loved their family very much. Paul was also intrigued by the many differences between Alf’s planet and the Earth. He could not wait to explore other parts of the universe with his new best friend.

On Thursday evening, I was doing my homework when suddenly I caught sight of a shining UFO in the sky coming nearer and nearer and eventually landed on the ground. Then out of it came a very short alien with a big head and eyes and brown skin.
Hardly had he seen me when he waved to me and invited me to go travelling in the UFO and I agreed. So fast did it fly that we were in space in a short time. Looking out of the UFO, I saw the beautiful blue earth on which we live and other shining stars circling in dark space. What a fantastic scene! After what seemed an hour, I asked the alien to send me to the earth.
What a wonderful and unforgettable experience it was!
Homework
It was a cold and windy evening. I was studying in my room when I heard a strange noise. Then I saw green light outside the window. I felt frightened.
After green light, a little man walked out of a spaceship, very short and his skin green. The green man told me not to be afraid and said he met my friend Tom the other day. When I greeted him warmly, he was glad and asked for some food. After a while, I served him many snacks. It seemed that the green man was satisfied.
After an hour, the man would go back to his spaceship. He said goodbye and got into spaceship. I saw him off and wished him to come back again and have a nice trip home.
