The teacher can give some familiar telephone numbers for the students to practice, like the number of the school, the number for calling a taxi, or the number for a hot line on the radio. When Listening to the address, the teacher should remind the students that there are a lot of words for “路” in English: way, road, lane, drive, street, alley, boulevard, terrace, avenue, etc. The teacher can ask the students to write their own address or the address of the school. Taking a message is a useful skill needed when receiving a phone call. But it is not so easy for beginners. Tell the students that they dont have to write down every word they hear. Instead, they should pay close attention to the keywords. Abbreviations and initials are very helpful. Sometimes students can even create abbreviations that are only known to themselves.Unit 2：Can I Take a Message? (II)1.

Contents： Part I: Getting readyPart II: A weather reportPart III: At a bus stopPart IV: More about the topic : Is Earth OverheatingPart V: Memory test: Weather Forecast2. Requires：The training focus of this unit is weather conditions, temperatures, times, percentages, and years. 3. Key Points：As for weather conditions, the following vocabulary may be useful: a. temperature: freezing, cold, chilly, cool, mild, warm, hot.b. sky: sunny, clear, cloudy, overcastc. humidity: dry, damp, humid, wetd. rain: drizzle, shower, downpour, storme. wind: breeze, gale4. Approaches：Before listening to an English weather forecast, the teacher should draw the students attention to the following points:a. English speakers often use Fahrenheit instead of Centigrade to measure temperature. Notice that zero and decimal numbers are regarded as plural, for example, zero degrees; 0.5 degrees.b. In an English weather forecast, the weatherman always use some broad and general terms rather than exact wordsto predict weather in the future.c. Besides weather conditions, the temperature, wind direction, wind speed, an English weather forecast also gives therelativehumidity and the barometric pressure.d. In order to understand a weather forecast thoroughly, the students should also have a very clear sense of directions.The teacher can draw a compass rose on the blackboard and ask the students to tell the directions.The teacher should also remind the students of the word collocation, for example, while we can use the word “light” to modify both “rain” and “wind”, we can only say “heavy rain” but “strong wind”.Unit 4： Can Time Move Backward?1. Contents： Part I: Getting readyPart II: Local time Part III: Ladies and gentlemen Part IV: More about the topic: Timing Devices Part V: Memory test: Radio Announcement2. Requires：The training focus of this unit is time, day of the week, taking messages, and note taking. 3. Key Points：Time is a common topic in our daily life. The technique of dealing with time will be trained throughout the whole book.4. Approaches：Before going on with this unit, it would be better for the teacher to review the four different ways of telling the time with the whole class as a kind of warm-up exercise. The teacher can draw some clocks on the blackboard, and ask the students to tell the time shown on the clocks using different ways.Unit 5：Flying In and Out1. Contents： Part I: Getting readyPart II: Airport announcementsPart III: A trip to the StatesPart IV: More about the topic: Inflight Telephone SystemPart V: Memory test: Airline Information2. Requires：The training focus of this unit is numbers, times, dates, and prices.3. Key Points：The most important activity is listening to airline information. Listening to airline information on the telephone is quite different. Most probably, you will only be given one chance to listen to it. If you miss the information for the first time, youll have to dial again, thus costing you more. Another thing the students may find difficult is that the telephone airline information is often given with a very quick speed. So listening to telephone airline information can be a challenge to many students.4. Approaches：The number here mainly refers to the flight number. Its a little bit different from the telephone number. It does not have as many digits as a telephone number. And usually the abbreviation of the airline is used in front of the number. A typical airline announcement usually contains the following aspects: name of the airlines, fight number, destination, boarding gate, boarding time, whether it is delayed or not, and if so, how long will the passengers have to wait. And the announcements will be broadcast in several different languages several times to make sure that all the passengers can get the necessary information. While teaching Part II of this unit, the teacher can play the tape several times to make sure that every student has got the right information.Unit 6：By Bus or by Train? 1. Contents： Part I: Getting readyPart II: At the railway stationPart III: Why are we waiting here?Part IV: More about the topic: Automobiles in the USAPart V: Memory test: Bus Information2. Requires: The training focus of this unit is numbers, times. Prices and common verbs used when taking a bus, taxi or a train. 3. Key Points：The most important activity is listening to bus/train information.4. Approaches：The numbers in this book are mainly of three kinds: whole numbers, fractional numbers and decimal numbers. The teacher should remind the students of the different ways of reading fractional numbers and decimal numbers. A railway announcement is almost like an airport announcement. It usually contains destination, platform number, departing time, stopovers, whether it is delayed or not, and if so, how long will the passengers have to wait. The announcement is usually broadcast times. Like telephone airline information, bus and subway information is also available on the telephone. The information is given with a very quick speed. The teacher should encourage the students to challenge themselves.Unit 7：This Way or That Way?1. Contents： Part I: Getting readyPart II: Giving directionsPart III: Finding the wayPart IV: More about the topic: You cant Miss ItPart V: Memory test: Steves First Morning2. Requires：The training focus of this unit is the understanding of spatial relations and directional instructions. 3. Key Points: Two words are very important and are frequently mentioned in this unit. They are “right” and “left”. People use these two words to give directions. To avoid ambiguity, words like east, west, north, and south are sometimes used instead of “right” and “left”.4. Approaches：Instructions in this unit refer to instructions showing the way. Therefore the teacher should tell the students that the understanding of these instructions must be accurate, otherwise they will never be able to get to the right place. The listeners shouldbe encouraged to repeat the key words of the instructions and to take down some notes.Unit 8：Cash or Cheque?1. Contents： Part I: Getting readyPart II: Using a bank accountPart III: Making phone calls to chase late paymentsPart IV: More about the topic: E-moneyMoney of the Future?Part V: Memory test: Judys Weekly Spending2. Requires：The training focus of this unit is bank details, currency codes, and prices.3. Key Points：The currency codes may be somewhat boring for the students, but they are very important in internationalbusiness.To know a thing or two may help the students in their career. Some of the information here may sound a little bit outof date since in Europe especially among member countries of the European Economic Community a kind of new currency-Euromoney has come into being. However, to know something about the history of currency codes is definitely useful.4. Approaches：Banks are a part of our daily life. The teacher can ask the students to say something about their own experienceswith the bank. Remind the students of the usage of the word “only” in filling out deposit and withdrawal forms. Understanding theprices is another basic technique the students should master besides numbers, times, addresses, etc. Though prices are written inmush the same way as decimal numbers, they are pronounced in a different way. Usually the decimal point is not read. People either replace it with words like “dollar”, “pound”, and “yuan” or simply skip it over. Words like “pence” and “cents” can also be omitted. Another thing that deserves attention is that after the decimal point in a price the two digits are often read in numbers, notdigit by digit. Be careful when there is a “o” in the price. We dont have to read it. For example, $ 1.05 can be read, as “one five”, “one dollar five”, or, “one dollar five cents”. The teacher should also remind the students of some symbols, such as $for dollar, for pound and ￥for yuan.第九章：Toward Better Health (I)1. Contents： Part I: Getting readyPart II: Dear doctorPart III: At a party Part IV: More about the topic: Walking Toward Better HealthPart V: Memory test: Sleeping Problem2. Requires：The training focus of this unit is instructions and routines.3. Key Points：In this unit the instructions refer to doctors instructions. Accuracy is the most important thing in understanding doctors instructions. Daily routine is another core of this unit.4. Approaches：The teacher should help the students to get familiar with various kinds of instructions that may be given by a doctororally, or written on medicine packets and bottles. If the instructions are misunderstood because of, say, carelessness, the consequences may be worse than anything imaginable. When talking about daily routine, people usually follow the sequence of time. Apart from time, the students should also pay close attention to verbs and verb phrases. The teacher can ask the students to discussabout their own daily routine. Make sure they follow the time sequence and choose the proper verbs.第十章：Toward Better Health (II) 1.
