A: Ben, I have some questions about your country, Canada.

B: Okay. What do you want to know?

A: What are you s{#blank#}1{#/blank#} to do when you meet someone for the first time?

B: You're supposed to s{#blank#}2{#/blank#} hands.

A: How about time? For example, when a party is at eight o'clock, do you go at eight o'clock?

B: No, you can go about fifteen minutes late.

A: OK. Is it the same for business meetings?

B: Oh, no. For a business meeting, make sure you're o{#blank#}3{#/blank#} time.

A: Mmm…… , I heard that it's rude to make n{#blank#}4{#/blank#} when you eat. Is that true?

B: Yes, it is. You shouldn't do it.

A: One more question, are you supposed to take a gift when you visit someone?

B: Yes, it's p{#blank#}5{#/blank#} to take some flowers.

A: Thanks. Now I'm ready.

A: Hi, Li Xiang! {#blank#}1{#/blank#} What are you going to do?

B: I've no idea. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}

A: I'm going to work on my uncle's farm. Would you like to go with me?

B: Yes, I'd love to. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} 

A: About 8 kilometers. But we can go there by bus.

B: When shall we leave?

A: {#blank#}4{#/blank#} It will take us about half an hour to get there.

B: {#blank#}5{#/blank#} Then we can work there longer.

A: OK. Let's make it 6：30 then.

B: Great.

B: {#blank#}1{#/blank#} club do you want to {#blank#}2{#/blank#}?

A: I want to join tile English club. How {#blank#}3{#/blank#} you'?

B: Hmm. I want to join the {#blank#}4{#/blank#} club. Can you {#blank#}5{#/blank#} chess?

A: No, I {#blank#}6{#/blank#} like chess. Do you like music?

B: Oh, yes. I {#blank#}7{#/blank#} singing and dancing. I like music.

A: Me, too. Let's join the {#blank#}8{#/blank#} club.

B: I can also learn to {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the guitar in the music club.

A: That's great! I think I can {#blank#}10{#/blank#} you with it.

B: Thanks a lot.

A：Hello, Steven, what are you doing for your summer vacation?

B：I'll fly to Chengdu to visit my grandparents the day after tomorrow.

A：{#blank#}1{#/blank#}

B：Oh no, not at all.

A：Flying is quick, isn't it?

B：Yes. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}What's more, it's often delayed(延误)and always crowded.

A：But it's convenient and comfortable.

B：I don't think so. While in the plane, you can't walk around or open the windows. By the way, the seats are uncomfortable. There is not much choice of food and there are not enough toilets.

A：{#blank#}3{#/blank#}

B：It's even worse. It takes hours to get out of the airports and into the city.

A：Then you prefer travelling by train, don't you?

B：Yeah. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}They're cheaper, safer and more comfortable. If you miss a train, you can always catch another one later.

A：But trains are always much slower than planes.

B：{#blank#}5{#/blank#}Besides, today's high speed rail is also fast and comfortable.

A：I agree with you. Have a good time!

B：Thank you very much.

A: Good morning! What's your name?

B: Good morning! {#blank#}1{#/blank#}

A: OK, Emma. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}

B: Yes, of course.

A: You know, we need a tutor (家庭教师) for my child. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}

B: Yes, I'm in the school basketball team.

A: Can you sing or dance?

B: {#blank#}4{#/blank#} But I'm not good at dancing.

A: OK! Can you play the violin (小提琴)?

B: {#blank#}5{#/blank#} And I am good at it.

A: Can you show me now?

B: Sure.

A: Hi, Liu Shuo. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}

B: Hi, Hao Hangfei. Yes, I was on vacation last month.

A: Oh, you are lucky. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} 

B: Yes, I did. I went to Mount Song with my family. We took quite a few photos there.

A: {#blank#}3{#/blank#}

B: I bought some gifts for my friends.

A: {#blank#}4{#/blank#} We can have a picnic.

B: Hmm— next week is quite full for me, Liu Shuo. I'll have a singing competition(歌咏比赛) .

A: {#blank#}5{#/blank#} 

B: Once a year in spring.

A: Hope you'll win it! Good luck to you!
