LISTENING TEXT 1
AMERICAN AMY: Oh, no! It\'s rainy!
BRITISH BETTY: Not exactly a lovely day, is it?
CANADIAN CARL: Nope, not very nice．
BRITISH BETTY: Let\'s go to the pictures!
AMERICAN AMY: OK．Which art museum?
CANADIAN CARL: No．She is saying that we should go to see a movie．
AMERICAN AMY: Oh, I get it．Hey, I know a good film that\'s been playing all fall．It\'s called Rush Hour 3．
BRITISH BETTY: Playing where?
CANADIAN CARL: She means that the movie is playing this autumn now．
BRITISH BETTY: Oh, I see．Well, we\'d better hurry．It starts soon．Let\'s take my lorry．
AMERICAN AMY: Who\'s Lori?
CANADIAN CARL: Oh, no, Betty asked us to take her truck．
AMERICAN AMY: Why not go by subway? It\'s just as fast．
BRITISH BETTY: What? It\'ll take too long to walk．
CANADIAN CARL: Er, she asked us whether we should take the underground to the theatre．
BRITISH BETTY: Oh, right．Yes, let\'s get going．

LISTENING TEXT 2
WILLIE: What are you watching, Zhao Li?
ZHAO LI: CCTV 9\'s World Wide Watch．
WILLIE: Why are you watching the news? That\'s boring!
ZHAO LI: I\'m listening to the English so that I can improve it．
WILLIE: Who\'s talking now?
ZHAO LI: That\'s Cao Ri．I think he is a good speaker．
WILLIE: What kind of English is he using, American or British?
ZHAO LI: He uses more American English, I think．
WILLIE: Who else do you really like?
ZHAO LI: Oh, I think Zhang Ling is also a fine speaker．
WILLIE: I agree, and so is Wang Lu, from the TV show Around China．But still, wouldn\'t it be better to listen to a native speaker?
ZHAO LI: Yes, sometimes you should try to listen to news and shows reported by native speakers．Yet any good speaker of English can help your listening skill．
WILLIE: Hmm．I think I\'ll listen a bit．What did he say just now?
ZHAO LI: He said Professor Yang is travelling around China to speak to college students．
WILLIE: I still think it may be a little difficult for me to understand them．
ZHAO LI: Well, sure, it might be hard at first．But if you listen to CCTV 9 often, you will begin to understand more and more．
WILLIE: Thanks．I think I will．My teacher won\'t believe it when I tell her I\'m practising my listening on the weekend!
