Unit 10 Out and About

Unit 10 Page 92 Reading Exercise 5 & 6 Hi Mum, It's Day Two and I'm already in love with New York. It's amazing. The first day, we were pretty tired from the flight, but we did a bit of sightseeing in the afternoon. We went to see the Statue of Liberty and I wasn't disappointed. We had a guided tour and learned all about its history. It really is a powerful symbol of peace. Today, we're going to explore Central Park and Manhattan. In the evening, we're going to watch the New York Jets. They're playing at MetLife Stadium. It's my first game of American football and I'm looking forward to it. (I think - I'm quite nervous!) The big concert we're playing in is tomorrow and we're all getting quite excited. Just imagine, I'm going to play my trombone in Carnegie Hall, probably the most famous concert hall in the US. Mr Davis is even more excited. He's going to conduct us in the concert. He keeps telling us it's his dream come true. His wife's going to record the performance. She's going to send us all the link so you can see the greatest moment of my musical career so far! There are going to be bands from all over the world, from about 20 different countries. I can't wait! Hope you're well and not missing me too much! Love, Ryan Hi Abigail, Sorry I didn't write yesterday, but it was such a busy day I just didn't get the time. We played our second volleyball match of the trip. It was against the under-15 Beijing champions and they won easily. I also hurt my hand quite badly. The sports centre where we played was fantastic. Really modern and much better than ours back home. Anyway, I've got ten minutes to write to you quickly, then I'm going to the bus station to catch a bus to Luanping. I'm so excited because we're going to visit the Great Wall. It was probably the one thing I wanted to do most on this trip, after playing volleyball, of course! We're going to explore the Jinshanling section of the wall. It's in the mountains and it's quite a walk to get up to it. But the views are spectacular. I'm going to take loads of photos. Luanping is about 130 km away, so we're going to spend the night there. Then we're going back to Beijing for our last day in the city. Our last match is in the afternoon, but I'm not going to play because of my hand. I can't believe the trip is almost over. China is amazing and the Chinese people are so friendly. I want to stay longer. Lots of love, Bettina

第十单元 嗨，妈妈， 今天是第二天，我已经爱上了纽约。太棒了。 第一天，我们坐飞机很累， 但我们下午进行了一些观光活动。 我们去看了自由女神像，我没有失望。 我们有导游，了解了它的历史。 它确实是和平的有力象征。 今天，我们将探索中央公园和曼哈顿。 晚上，我们要去看纽约喷气机队。 他们正在大都会人寿体育场比赛。 这是我第一次踢美式足球，我很期待。（我想——我很紧张！） 我们明天要参加一场大型音乐会，我们都很兴奋。 想象一下，我要在卡内基音乐厅演奏我的长号， 可能是美国最著名的音乐厅。 戴维斯先生更加兴奋。他将在音乐会上指挥我们。 他一直告诉我们这是他的梦想成真。 他的妻子将录制表演。 她会把链接发给我们 所以你可以看到我音乐生涯迄今为止最伟大的时刻！ 将会有来自世界各地的乐队， 来自大约20个不同的国家。我等不及了！ 希望你身体好，不要太想念我！ 爱你的Ryan 嗨，阿比盖尔， 对不起，我昨天没有写信，但今天太忙了，我就是没有时间。 我们打了这次旅行的第二场排球比赛。 这是对阵15岁以下的北京冠军，他们轻松获胜。 我的手也伤得很重。 我们比赛的体育中心太棒了。 真的很现代，比我们家乡好多了。 不管怎样，我有十分钟的时间快速给你写信， 然后我要去汽车站坐公共汽车去滦平。 我很兴奋，因为我们要去参观长城。 这可能是我这次旅行最想做的一件事， 当然是打排球之后！ 我们要去探索金山岭长城。 它在山里，要走很长的路才能到达那里。 但景色很壮观。我要拍很多照片。 滦平大约130公里远，所以我们要在那里过夜。 然后我们将回到北京，在这座城市度过最后一天。 我们的最后一场比赛是在下午，但由于我的手，我不会参加比赛。 我不敢相信旅行快结束了。 中国令人惊叹，中国人民非常友好。 我想待久一点。 非常爱你，贝蒂娜

Page 95 Listening Exercise 8 & 9 Hey Connor. What are you doing this weekend? Hi! I'm quite busy actually. Why? Well, it's just that we've got that History test coming up. Do you want to study together? That would be great! But, let me see. Saturday morning is no good. I'm playing football. It's the cup final and I can't miss that. Of course not. OK, so what about Friday night? Hmmm, I'm sorry. I can't. I'm busy. Dad's taking me to the sports centre to watch the basketball game, but it doesn't finish until 10 pm. Yeah, that's a bit late. OK, how about Saturday afternoon. Any chance? Mmm. Saturday afternoon, Saturday afternoon. It's my brother's birthday, so we're going to the restaurant to celebrate. You know, that new American diner on the high street. Oh, yeah, I've heard it's very good. What time do you think you'll finish there? Probably about 5 pm, but then I'm meeting Nathan. We're going to see the new Spider-Man film at the cinema. Hey, would you like to come? Hmmm, Spider-Man - not really my thing. So thanks but no thanks. I guess that just leaves Sunday. Yeah, Sunday. Hmmmm, that's a problem, too. Why? Well, my grandparents are coming over and we're taking them to that outdoor museum. Oh, the one with all the cool old buildings? That's right. My grandad loves that sort of stuff. I'd invite you, but I'm really sorry, we haven't got any room in the car. I don't want to see old buildings, Connor. I want to study for the test. Yeah, of course. Sunday evening maybe, but only after 8 pm. I've got a piano lesson from 7 to 8 and we won't be back from the museum much before 6 pm. No, that's too late. What about next weekend? I've got loads of free time next weekend. I'd love to! But there's a problem. What's that? The test is on Monday. This Monday. First thing in the morning!

嘿，康纳。这个周末你有什么计划？ 嗨！其实我很忙。为什么？ 好吧，只是我们即将迎来历史考试。 你想一起学习吗？ 那太好了！但是，让我看看。 星期六早上不太好。我在踢足球。 这是杯赛决赛，我不能错过。 当然不是。好的，那么周五晚上怎么样？ 嗯，对不起。不行，我很忙。 爸爸要带我去体育中心看篮球比赛， 但直到晚上10点才结束。 是啊，有点晚了。好的，星期六下午怎么样。有机会吗？ 嗯。星期六下午，星期六下午。 今天是我弟弟的生日，所以我们要去餐厅庆祝。 你知道，商业街上那家新开的美国餐厅。 哦，是的，我听说它很好。 你认为你什么时候能在那里结束？ 大概下午5点左右，但之后我要去见内森。 我们要去电影院看新的蜘蛛侠电影。 嘿，你想来吗？ 嗯，蜘蛛侠——我不太喜欢。 所以，谢谢，但不用了。我想这只剩下星期天了。 是啊，星期天。嗯，这也是个问题。 为什么？ 嗯，我的祖父母要过来，我们要带他们去那个户外博物馆。 哦，那个有很多很酷的旧建筑的？ 这是正确的。我爷爷喜欢那种东西。 我本想邀请你的，但我真的很抱歉，我们的车里没有空位了。 我不想看到旧建筑，康纳。我想为考试学习。 是的，当然。也许是星期天晚上，但只能在晚上8点之后。 我7点到8点上钢琴课 我们下午6点之前不会从博物馆回来。 不，太晚了。 下周末怎么样？下周末我有很多空闲时间。 我很乐意！但有一个问题。 那是什么？ 考试在星期一。这个星期一。早上的第一件事！

Page 96 Reading Exercise 2 As you probably know, the town council have got £1 million to spend on improving the town's facilities for young people and we're looking for great ideas on how to spend the money well. Post your ideas in the forum below and let us know how we can make life better for you. There's nothing for teenagers to do in this town, especially at night. Can we use the money to build a youth club? Somewhere with a pool table and a table tennis table, perhaps. We need somewhere to play happily and hang out safely in the evenings. As I'm only 14, I can't drive, so I go everywhere on my bike. But the roads are dangerous and many motorists drive too fast. How about spending the money on building more cycle lanes? We could also put in more speed cameras and zebra crossings, too. This will make life safer for all our citizens, not just the young people. I think the best use for the money is to build a playground in the town park. It should have lots of rides for the young kids but also stuff for teenagers, too. I'd like to see a graffiti wall and a skateboard park for a start and maybe if there is enough money, we can have a climbing wall, too. Our high street is full of empty shops because everyone just shops at the new shopping centre outside of town or online. Why don't we use the money to turn some of these empty shops into an arts centre? It can have studios where we can draw and paint or learn how to make films. We could also have a music studio where local bands can record music cheaply. How about a big billboard at the entrance to the town that reads, 'TEEN WARNING - there's nothing to do here!' This probably sounds like a boring idea, but can't we use some of the money to buy more liter bins? I feel ashamed of our town when I see all the litter on the ground. We need to tidy up our town quickly!

第96页阅读练习2 如你所知，镇议会已获得100万英镑 花钱改善镇上为年轻人提供的设施 我们正在寻找如何合理花钱的好主意。 在下面的论坛上发表你的想法 让我们知道如何让你的生活变得更好。 这个镇上没有什么青少年可以做的，尤其是在晚上。 我们能用这笔钱建一个青年俱乐部吗？ 也许在有台球桌和乒乓球桌的地方。 我们需要一个地方在晚上愉快地玩耍和安全地闲逛。 因为我只有14岁，我不会开车，所以我骑自行车到处走。 但道路很危险，许多驾驶者开得太快。 把钱花在修建更多的自行车道上怎么样？ 我们还可以安装更多的测速摄像头和斑马线。 这将使我们所有公民的生活更安全，而不仅仅是年轻人。 我认为这笔钱最好的用途是在镇上的公园里建一个游乐场。 它应该有很多适合小孩子的游乐设施，也应该有适合青少年的游乐设施。 我想先看看涂鸦墙和滑板公园 也许如果有足够的钱，我们也可以建一堵攀岩墙。 我们的商业街上到处都是空荡荡的商店 因为每个人都只是在城外的新购物中心或网上购物。 我们为什么不把这些空荡荡的商店变成艺术中心呢？ 它可以有工作室，我们可以在那里画画或学习如何制作电影。 我们还可以有一个音乐工作室，当地乐队可以在那里便宜地录制音乐。 在镇入口处放一块大广告牌怎么样，上面写着：， “警告-这里没什么可做的！” 这听起来可能是个无聊的想法， 但是我们不能用一些钱买更多的升箱吗？ 当我看到地上的垃圾时，我为我们的城镇感到羞愧。 我们需要尽快清理我们的城镇！

Page 98 Culture Exercise 3 Mythical PLACES AROUND THE WORLD There are very few places on Earth that are undiscovered and we have satellite photos of the most remote places on the planet. But people are always interested in mythical lands, places that people say exist but no one has ever found. Perhaps the most famous mythical place of all is Atlantis. Some people say it is a city, others say it is an island and others call it a continent. But whatever it is exactly, there is one thing that everyone agrees on: it is underneath the sea. The Greek philosopher Plato was the first person to describe it and he suggested that one time, its people attacked Athens. No one is sure exactly where Atlantis is. Because of its name, some people think it is somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean. Others say it's in the Mediterranean Sea or in the Caribbean. Agartha is another mythical place that is not on the land. The legend says that it's at the centre of our planet. Like Atlantis, it is famous for its culture and educated society. It was the inspiration for Jules Verne's novel Journey to the Centre of the Earth. It tells the story of a group of travellers who go on an exciting adventure underground. Many people have tried to find the entrance to Agartha, which they think is somewhere in Antarctica. Some people believe that somewhere in South America there is a famous city of gold: El Dorado. Many people tried to find it, but they weren't successful. El Dorado was originally the name of a person, a ruler of the ancient Colombian society called the Muisca. He covered himself in gold powder every day. There were legends in which people imagined that the whole city was made of gold. Our final mythical land is an island called Thule. The legend says that it is in the north of the Earth, somewhere between Norway and Iceland. This is an area of the world that is completely dark for a lot of the year. But the story goes that Thule is a place where a lot of delicious food grows and people are always happy. The Roman poet Silius Italicus wrote about Thule. In his story, the people living there are painted blue.

第98页文化练习3 世界各地的神话之地 地球上很少有地方是未被发现的 我们还有地球上最偏远地方的卫星照片。 但人们总是对神话般的土地感兴趣， 人们说存在但没有人发现的地方。 也许最著名的神话之地是亚特兰蒂斯。 有人说这是一座城市， 其他人说它是一个岛屿，其他人则称之为大陆。 但不管它到底是什么，有一件事大家都同意： 它在海底。 希腊哲学家柏拉图是第一个描述它的人 他暗示，有一次，希腊人民袭击了雅典。 没有人确切地知道亚特兰蒂斯在哪里。 因为它的名字，有些人认为它在大西洋的某个地方。 其他人说它在地中海或加勒比海。 阿加森是另一个不在陆地上的神话般的地方。 传说它位于我们星球的中心。 与亚特兰蒂斯一样，它以其文化和受过教育的社会而闻名。 这是儒勒·凡尔纳小说《地心游记》的灵感来源。 它告诉了一群旅行者在地下进行令人兴奋的冒险的故事。 许多人试图找到阿加森的入口， 他们认为那里在南极洲的某个地方。 有些人认为，在南美洲的某个地方有一个著名的黄金之城：埃尔多拉多。 许多人试图找到它，但他们没有成功。 El Dorado最初是一个人的名字， 古哥伦比亚社会的统治者穆伊斯卡。 他每天给自己裹上金粉。 有传说说，人们想象整个城市都是金子做的。 我们最后一块神秘的土地是一个名为图勒的岛屿。 传说它在地球的北部， 在挪威和冰岛之间的某个地方。 这是世界上一年中大部分时间都完全黑暗的地区。 但故事是这样的，图勒是一个生长着许多美味食物的地方 人们总是很快乐。 罗马诗人西里乌斯·伊塔利库斯写过关于图勒的文章。 在他的故事中，住在那里的人被涂成了蓝色。
