There are countless living things. H

29、ow can they live harmoniously?XZH :I suppose that the answer is communication. If so，What are the ways people use to communicate with each other？LXF :One of the first things we think about when we hear the word of communication is language. There are thousands of languages spoken around the world to

30、day. In fact, linguists say that there may be as many as 10,000.LQ :Yeah，Speaking with others is an important mean of communication, but we can also communicate without using words, that is by nonverbal communication. Including voice quality, eye movement, facial expression and body movements such a

31、s gestures and change in body position.HH :I agree with you. Communication, of course, doesnt need to be in words. We can talk to each other by a smile, a frown, a shrug of our shoulders, or a gesture with our hands. Shaking hands is a very common gesture which is performed both on initial, greeting

32、 and departure.LQ :OK，is there any other ways people use to communicate with each other？LXF :Of，course. Books, magazines, newspapers, radio, television, and telephone are other means of communication. Today we can also communicate over long distance with the help of communications satellites.XZH ：No

33、wadays, internet becomes a new and popular way to communicate with others. By internet, not only we can send and receive e-mail mutually and have a chat with our friends who stay far away from us but also buy what we want. It is quite convenient and cheap for us to keep us well-informed. So it will

34、be more and more important in our daily life.HH :That is to say，communication is very common and important in the world. As human beings，we should communicate with each other in a properly way to make the world we are living in peaceful.U52Should learners aim to speak English with a native-speaker p

35、ronunciation? why?HH : English, with no doubt, has been the “universal language” for a long time. For one thing, many countries set English as their official language . For another, in various of aspects are in English mostly ,but not wholly. Then arouse the problem: since English is so widely-used

36、in different regions, should learners aim to speakEnglish with a native-speaker pronunciation or we just let it go- English with an accent of your mother language.XZH: Now lots of people are trying to speak like the perfect BBC English?What do you think of this phenomenon?LXF: I think its necessary.

37、 its more official and people should improve theirpronunciation so that one can talk to those native speakers easily. Dont you feel stupid speaking English with an accent? The chenglish is terrible. People will make fun of you when you speak like that. So I strongly recommend that we learners should

38、 strive for a decent native-speaker pronunciation.LQ : In my point of view, it is of great significance for learners to speak native-speaker pronunciation. Of course, theres no point to imitate the perfect “Queen s English” as some activists advocate, but make a standard can surely avoid many a trou

39、ble when communicating. Lets say, imagining that there is no “l(fā)ift ”, then American and British won t be confused at using the expression “elevator ”.LXF :Besides, speaking native-speakers English can be a bridge for brilliant future, for instance, the closer you speak as a native speaker ,the highe

40、r goals you can get in TOFEL oriel-English text, that is to say, you can have an advantage over those who speak English blended with an accent when it comes to applying for a top university. XZH Well, I cant agree with you. Personally, I prefer a foreigner to speak with a recognized foreign accent,

41、so that I know that Im talking to a Frenchman, aGerman, an Indian, and so on. So for me, its not that important to speak with a native-speaker pronunciation. Besides this ,for it is very difficult and sometimes impossible to gain a native speaker pronunciation however hard we work because we are not

42、 native speakers and English is our second language.HH language is only a tool for communication among human beings. If people we meet understand what we are saying, that is all that is necessary. We do not need to imitate native speaker pronunciation. In any case, there are many types of accents, s

43、o which one should we choose to imitate.LQ ：So in a word, English is such an international language, we should accept a wider range of accents and learners should concentrate more on structure and vocabulary than accent.U61Talk about the animal you like best (這個(gè)大家各自有的U62Do you agree that human being

44、s are more aggressive than animals ? Why?Lin: I have saw a picture online that one abused a cat! I cant believe it even now, although the same problems had been reported in the past. Human beings are so cruel.xing: But animals can be aggressive too.we can see news everywhere saying some kinds of ani

45、mal have killed some people. It seems that these animals are out of rage. How dangerous it is. Even the animal trainers are killed by those trained animals. Once a lion is out of rage, nobody can stop it from killing people. We really should bemore attentive. Do you think that human are more aggressive than animals ? he: Yeah, though some fierce animals ,such as lions and tigers are very aggressive, they are only aggressive in the natural world.They just bite other
