EXERCISE
1. Read the passage aloud, paying attention to the pronunciation of each
word

The Philippine Supreme Court has ruled that former president Ferdinand
Marcos can be buried in a cemetery for national heroes.
Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte had approved the burial. But several
groups opposed his decision and went to court to stop it.

On Tuesday, the Supreme Court voted 9-5 to dismiss opposition requests to

block the burial. In its decision, the court noted that while Marcos “was not
all good,” he “was not pure evil either.”

2. Read the passage aloud, paying attention to the pronunciation of each

word

A Chinese education company has given thousands of dollars to

representatives of top universities in the United States.

Reuters news agency says the money was for services to help Chinese
students applyto these schools. Reuters suggests the company did more than
help the students.
In October, Reuters reported on claims of cheating by eight former
employees of Dipont Education Management Group. The company is based
in Shanghai.

Six of the former employees say they wrote application essays for students.
Almost all universities in the U.S. require students to prepare their own
application materials.
Another former employee of Dipont told Reuters she changed letters
ofrecommendation teachers had written for students. And another said the
company let a student remove bad marks from the records of
his academic performance in high school.

3. Read the passage aloud, paying attention to the pronunciation of each

word
Admissions officers from these schools have attended special Dipont events
in China each summer since 2014. The events involved personal meetings
with students to help improve their success in applying for college.
Dipont paid for the travel costs of the admissions officers attending the
event, Reuters said. Reuters also said emails it reviewed show Dipont gave
money to some of the officers.

There is a lot of competition among both students and universities. Schools

look to international students to help increase income
from tuition payments. Hundreds of Chinese companies are offering
services to help students get into top schools.
The companies often charge a lot of money for this help, but sometimes that
help may go too far. “Many [schools], students and overseas colleges
consider us one of the most ethicalcompanies in China,” he told Reuters in
an interview. Zhang denies claims from the former employees that they tried
to report incidents of rule-breaking.

4. Read the passage aloud, paying attention to the pronunciation of each

word
Former Dipont employee Bruce Hammond says he tried to warn several
schools about the company. In 2014 Hammond emailed officials at the
University of Southern California, the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, Duke University and others. He wrote that Dipont was one of
the companies most responsible for fraud in the application process. The
USC fraud research center told Reuters it has been investigating Hammond’s
claims. But the center defended Dipont as a “reliable and valuable partner.”
Information provided by Dipont shows that admissions officers from 22
colleges and universities have attended its summer workshops since 2014.
The gatherings are held in Shanghai.

5. Read the passage aloud, paying attention to the pronunciation of each

word
Students who are the first in their family to attend college have a different
experience than students with college graduate parents.
Young people today do have many resources available to them. Books and
websites offer advice on getting accepted into a school and dealing with life
away from home for the first time.
Also, most high schools in the United States have counselors and college
advisors. Their job is to help students understand the process of applying to
schools.
But when Christopher Curran started looking for the right university, he had
one less resource than most students in the U.S. His parents never went to
college. So, they had little advice to give.

IV. MID-TERM EXERCISES

1. Say both sides of the conversation aloud, paying attention to

intonation

Kathy: We’re back with our guest Simon Tompkins. Mr. Tompkins is a
photographer. We’re talking about photographs from his new series: Twenty-
Four Hours on the Farm. What about this one? This is in the evening, isn’t it?
Simon: Yes. The sun is going down and the sky is beautiful. The animals are
going back to the barn.
Simon: Some of the workers are leaving.
Kathy: I like this picture a lot.
Simon: Thank you.
Kathy: Let’s look at one more.
Simon: OK. In this one, everything is dark. There are stars in the sky and the
house is dark. Everyone is asleep.
Kathy: Look. There’s the moon!
Simon: Yes, you can see the moon behind that tree. The moon is just coming
up.
Kathy: Our guest is Simon Tompkins. We’ll talk more after our break. This is
New Dynamic English.

2. Say both sides of the conversation aloud, paying attention to

intonation
Fay: Hi Jerry. I'm thinking of applying for a job with a multinational
company, but I'm worried about having an interview in English. Can you
give me any good tips?

Jerry: Hmmm. That's a tough one. I guess the first thing is to try to make a
good impression. We often say, "you never get a second chance to make a
first impression". You really need to get off to a good start.
Fay: That sounds like good advice. Maybe I could sing and dance for them,
ha ha ha! Then they'd really be impressed! But seriously, how do I make a
good first impression?

Jerry: To begin with, you should firmly shake the interviewer's hand while
greeting him or her with a smile. Be sure to keep eye contact, especially
when listening to the interviewer.

Fay: Ah, "body language" is really important, isn't it?

Jerry: Yes, it is. The second thing is to have confidence. You get confidence
from being prepared. You should learn a little bit about the company before
the interview. Find out what they do, how long they've been in business,
what their business motto is, that kind of thing. You should also anticipate
possible questions, and think about how you will answer.

Fay: Should I memorize my answers beforehand?

Jerry: No! Definitely not! That sounds very mechanical. You should be
natural when you speak. Just think about how you want to answer, and
choose the right words at the time of the interview. That way, you can use
the interviewer's own words in your answer, which shows you've been
listening. Then you're sure to make a good impression.

3. Say both sides of the conversation aloud, paying attention to

intonation
Jerry: you've stood on the Great Wall. I'd like to visit the Wall this weekend.
Do you know how I can get there?

Fay: There are two ways to go there. You could go there directly by bus or
train, or you could join a group tour.

Jerry: Is one way better than the other?

Fay: Going with a group is certainly more convenient. Everything is taken

care of for you, including lunch and tickets to places of interest along the
way. It usually costs around 100 RMB.

Jerry: That sounds like a good deal.

Fay: On the other hand, if you go directly, you won't stop along the way,
which means you can spend more time at the Wall itself. It's also cheaper.

Jerry: Well, I like to go off on my own. I think going directly would be

better for me. Do you know how I can get there?

Fay: I've heard the cheapest way is by minibus number 919, which you can
catch near the Jishuitan subway station. It costs only 10 yuan! There's also a
train which starts on the west side of the city which goes directly to the
Wall, but I've never taken it. I know there's a small station outside the west
gate of Beijing Aeronautics University. You could go there and ask around.

4. Say both sides of the conversation aloud, paying attention to

intonation

Fay: Hi Jerry! Welcome back from summer vacation. Did you have a good
time in Guizhou?

Jerry: Yes, I did. It was everything I expected, and more. How about you?
Did you go anywhere?

Fay: Yes, as a matter of fact I did. I spent a week in Shanghai. I'm thinking
about getting a job there.

Jerry: Ah, Shanghai - such a wonderful city! You'll really enjoy living there.

Fay: Hmm... I'm not so sure. Shanghai has a lot going for it, but I like
Beijing too.

Jerry: What do you like best about Shanghai?

Fay: Shanghai is the business center of China, so there are lots of jobs, and
there's always something new. It's more modern than Beijing and generally a
convenient place to live.

Jerry: Why would you want to stay in Beijing?

Fay: For one thing, Beijing has a sense of history about it. You know, there's
no Great Wall in Shanghai!

Jerry: That's for sure. There's no Forbidden City or Summer Palace, either.
Fay: For another thing, I think people are friendlier in Beijing. Still, I think
I'd like to marry a man from Shanghai.

Jerry: But you just said people from Beijing are friendlier!

Fay: Yes, generally speaking. But I've heard that men from Shanghai will
help their wives with housework. That's the kind of husband for me!

5. Say both sides of the conversation aloud, paying attention to

intonation

Jerry: What a beautiful summer's day! There's not a cloud in the sky.

Fei: Hey, I have an idea. Let's go somewhere special. I can introduce you to
my favorite place in Beijing.

Jerry: Sure, I'd like to see that, but what is it exactly?

Fei: You'll see when we get there. Come on, we can catch the 107 bus across
the street...

Fei: Can you see all those people across the street?

Jerry: Yes, they're all dancing. I like the Chinese style music, but they're
doing Western style dancing. It seems a bit odd to me. Are we going to
dance today?

Fei: Not today - maybe when we get older! Look beyond the dancers. What
do you see?

Jerry: Hey, there's a little pond over there. It looks very pleasant in the
middle of a big city. Let's go take a closer look. I never knew there was a
pond in the middle of Beijing.

Fei: Actually, there are SIX! They're all man-made. There are two ponds to
the west of the Forbidden City called Nan Hai, which could be called South
Pond and Zhong Hai, or Middle Pond. The government offices surround
those Ponds, so they're not open to the public. To the north of those ponds
is...

VII. FINAL TEST

Part 1. Say both sides of the conversation aloud, paying attention to

intonation

Jerry: you've stood on the Great Wall. I'd like to visit the Wall this weekend.
Do you know how I can get there?

Fay: There are two ways to go there. You could go there directly by bus or
train, or you could join a group tour.
Jerry: Is one way better than the other?

Fay: Going with a group is certainly more convenient. Everything is taken

care of for you, including lunch and tickets to places of interest along the
way. It usually costs around 100 RMB.

Jerry: That sounds like a good deal.

Fay: On the other hand, if you go directly, you won't stop along the way,
which means you can spend more time at the Wall itself. It's also cheaper.

Jerry: Well, I like to go off on my own. I think going directly would be

better for me. Do you know how I can get there?

Fay: I've heard the cheapest way is by minibus number 919, which you can
catch near the Jishuitan subway station. It costs only 10 yuan! There's also a
train which starts on the west side of the city which goes directly to the
Wall, but I've never taken it. I know there's a small station outside the west
gate of Beijing Aeronautics University. You could go there and ask around

Part 2. Read the passage aloud, paying attention to the pronunciation of

each word

In the 1820s and 1830s American painting added a new chapter to the story
of its development. Until the nineteenth century, portraiture and
occasional historical pieces were the only concerns of American art, but
throughout the 1800s some of America's most talented painters chose to
depict landscapes and the daily activities of ordinary people.

1. ['su:pəmæn]
2. [,næ∫ə'næliti]
