Unit 1

1.Daming:I have a question. What does “spring” mean?

Ms James:Spring? Spring is a season. It comes after winter and before summer. Try to remember our famous Spring Festival, Daming.

Daming:Oh, I understand.

2.Ms James:Lingling, your grammar isn't correct. You made a mistake. It's not “Yesterday I go to the cinema” but “Yesterday I…”.

Lingling:Went.

Ms James:Good. “Today I have an English lesson. Yesterday I…”

Lingling:Had.

3.Daming:How do you spell “cinema” ? I know how to pronounce it, but does it begin with “s” or “c”?

Ms James:What do you think? How do you check the spelling of a word, Daming?

Daming:Well, I usually look it up in the dictionary. But this one is difficult because I don't know the first letter!
