I.A dialogue.
Susan (a girl) meets Peter (a boy) in the schoolyard and they begin a chat about how to study Module 5 better. Mr. Smith is their teacher of English.
Su = Susan; Pt = Peter; Sm= Mr. Smith
Pt: Hi, Susan.
Su: Hello, Peter.
Pt: You look worried, anything the matter?
Su: Oh…My English study.
Pt: But you do quite well in English?
Su: Thank you. Now some students are saying that this module is the most difficult that we have ever had．Don't you think so?
Pt: Not that hard, I think.
Su: But it's really too much for me, especially those dull words. They have been driven me mad．
Pt: Well, I have made some English labels with them, and Mr. Smith has managed to persuade the school committee to allow us to put the labels along with those in Chinese in the lab and on the equipment, as long as it's safe to have a label on it.
Su: Do you think it will help?
Pt: Sure, in this way, any time we go to do experiments, we can see the labels in English and it will absolutely help us remember them.
Su: Maybe it will work. But how about the experiment report . It appears easy, but it's really hard to be perfect work.
Pt: I feel the same way. But don't worry, I just said goodbye to Mr. Smith in the lab．Let turn to him for some advice.
Su: OK.
(Narrator): Then they go to the lab and Mr. Smith's still there.
SM: Hello, Peter and Susan, anything I can do for you.
Pt: Susan is worrying about her study of this module.
SM: You see, I have finished these labels. They will help you remember the new words.
Su: But how about the experiment report? It's really hard to do it well.
SM: But it's not so hard? Oh. I see. You've got nothing hard in your English, but in your concept.
Pt and Su: Concept, what do you mean by saying so?
SM: Let me explain it to you. You think it hard to write an experiment report in English. But the difficulty lies not in your English, but in your concept, as you have never thought you can do an experiment report in English.
You are frightened．
Su: Maybe so, I have not had the heart to start it, just because I don't think I can do it.
Pt: Me too.
SM: But you have done well in both chemistry and physics. You should be sure that you can do an experiment well not because it is in Chinese, but because you are able to do it well. So remember, you'll never know if you can do something unless you have the heart to have a try. You've got it?
Su and Pt: Yeah, that's the very point. We'll go back and do it right now. Thank you very much, Mr. Smith.
SM: I'm sure you can do it very well. Good luck.
Su and Pt: Bye.
SM: Bye.

�、�.A dialogue from classic movie: The Lion King
The Lion King 獅子王
(Mufasa, the lion king is telling Simba, his son, an important rule of life.)
Mufasa: Look, Simba, everything the light touches is our kingdom.
Simba: Wow !
Mufasa: A king's time is ruler rises and falls like the sun. One day, Simba, the sun will set on my time here and rise with you as the new king.
Simba: And this will all of mine?
Mufasa: Everything !
Simba: Everything the light touches! What about that shadowy place?
Mufasa: That's beyond our borders. You must never go there, Simba．
Simba: But I thought a king can do whatever he want.
Mufasa: Oh, there's more to being a king than getting your way all the time.
Simba: There's more?
Mufasa: Simba, everything you see exists together in a delicate balance. As king, you need to understand that balance and respect all the creatures from the crawling ant to the leaping antelope.
Simba: But dad, don't we eat the antelope?
Mufasa: Yes, Simba. But let me explain. When we die, our bodies become the grass and the antelopes eat the grass, and so we are all connected in a great circle of life. Simba, let me tell you something that my father told me. Look at the stars the great kings of the past look down on us from those stars.
Simba: Really?
Mufasa: Yes, so whenever you feel alone, just remember that those kings will always be there to guide you, and so will I.
