Monitoring and clarifying
When you are not clear about something while reading, you can stop and try to make it clear by re-reading the text for clues. You can also use pictures or read ahead for more clues.
Activity 1 Read the text and learn how to monitor and clarify.
Qipao is a traditional dress for Chinese women. There are beautiful embroideries on it. For example, you can see animal and flower embroideries on a qipao.
To monitor, you stop and ask what you don’t understand.

宾语从句
宾语是句子的一个重要成分,它可以由名词、代词、名词短语或句子充当。当一个句子充当宾语时,这个句子就被称为宾语从句。宾语从句与主句之间由连接词来连接。
要注意引导词、语序和时态
that 引导的宾语从句(that在口语或非正式文体中常省略)
I know (that) he is a Canadian athlete. 我知道他是一名加拿大运动员。
Do you think (that) the children need to write a song? 你认为孩子们需要写一首歌吗?
Nana says (that) she doesn’t like the skirt. 娜娜说她不喜欢这条短裙。
当主句中的谓语动词是一般现在时态时,宾语从句中的时态不受主句时态影响。当主句中的谓语动词是一般过去时态时,宾语从句则使用相应的过去时态。
例如:
I think that I can sell newspapers. 我想我可以卖报纸。
I think I should have a talk with her. 我想我应该和她谈一谈。
I heard you had a bad cold. 我听说你患了重感冒。
注意:如果宾语从句所表达的内容是客观真理或客观事实时,从句中动词的时态不受主句的谓语动词时态的限制。
例如:
The teacher said that Earth moves around the Sun. 老师说地球围绕太阳转。
He said he is forty. 他说他40岁了。
练习:用括号内单词的正确形式填空。

Hello, my name is Davis. I am from Britain. I had a lot of pain in my right knee three months ago. By chance, I learned that traditional Chinese zhenjiu may help treat the pain, so I decided to have a try. You know what? The doctor put some needles into my knee, but I didn’t feel anything. After a short while, I felt warm inside my knee, and pain disappeared. After the doctor treated me five times, I no longer felt any pain in my knee. This was an amazing experience for me. I hope more people will know about Chinese zhenjiu.

Introduction
Dear Jane,
How are you doing these days? Last weekend, my cousin visited us, and we took him to have Beijing roast duck-one of the most famous traditional foods in my hometown.
When we sat down in a nice restaurant, a waiter came up to take the order. He told us that people use wood fire to roast the duck in a big oven. The wood fire makes the duck smell nice and taste special. After some time, the duck came to our table. It looked golden and beautiful. Then my father showed my cousin how to eat it. He put some duck meat, duck skin, cucumber, spring onion and sweet sauce on a small pancake, rolled it up and gave it to him. My cousin tasted it and couldn't stop smiling. He enjoyed it so much that he rolled two more pancakes, one for himself and the other for me.
I hope you can visit China one day. I will take you to eat Beijing roast duck too! I'm sure you'll love it.

Last weekend, I went out for a big meal with my family in Chengdu. We tried Sichuan hot pot and it’s the traditional food in my hometown.
This dish has a long history and is famous worldwide. To cook it, we boil a pot of soup with many hot spices and oil. Then we add different foods like meat and vegetables. It tastes spicy and rich, with soft meat and fresh vegetables—every bite is full of delicious tastes.
Hot pot is also a fun way to share a meal with others. I’d like to invite you to try it with me someday. I am sure you will love it!
