Tapescript
Headmaster:
I have been thinking about what kind of speaker we should invite to the school. I want you to look for someone young enough that students can relate to him or her. It does not matter if the person is a man or a woman, but they should be no older than thirty-five. But, they do need to be old enough to have done something exciting or important, so they should be at least eighteen years old. So, older than eighteen but younger than thirty-five, and if they have some experience as a speaker already, that would be helpful. I think I’d also prefer to have someone who is Chinese, so the students can really understand his or her experiences. Yes, a Chinese person is preferred, but he or she must be able to speak both English and Putonghua. Now, there are certain things you need to look for. We can’t pay travel money or for a stay in a hotel, so we need someone who is from Nanjing. This person will need to be here sometime between the thirtieth of May and the second of June. It doesn’t matter which day, as long as it’s between those dates, and he or she can speak for three hours, from ten a.m. until one p.m. The speech should last for two hours and there should be one hour kept for questions and answers with the students. Hmm, what else? The only other thing I can think of is what the person is like. The person we choose must be friendly and outgoing and happy to spend time talking with the students at our school.
Now, if you can write up an advertisement for me, that would be really helpful, Thanks!

3. Look at Point 4 to learn how to express an approximate number or modify a number.

2. Go over Points 1 to 3 on page 52. Pay special attention to the word stress when listening to the numbers, such as fifteen and fifty, eighteen and eighty.

1.　　　 First let’s review different forms of numbers. Please give the ordinal form of the numbers below.

① 1-12
　 Cardinal numbers　　 Ordinal numbers　　　 formation
　　　　 one　　　　　　　 first/1^st　　　　　 1. 序数词1-3为特殊变化
　　　　 two　　　　　　　 second/2^nd　　　 2. 4-12在基数词词尾加-th构成。
　　　　 three　　　　　　 third/3^rd　　　　注意fifth, ninth, twelfth的词形变
　　　　 four　　　　　　　 fourth/4^th　　　　化。
　　　　 five　　　　　　　 fifth/5^th　
　　　　 nine　　　　　　　 ninth/9^th
　　　　 twelve　　　　　　 twelfth/12th
② 13-19基数词在数词3-9后加-teen构成，其中13和15发生拼写变化，分别为thirteen, fifteen
　 13-19序数词在基数词后加-th构成。如：thirteen--thirteenth
③ 20-90整十位数在基数词2-9之后加后缀-ty构成，其中20，30，40，50拼写发生变化，分别为twenty, thirty, forty, fifty; 构成序数词时，将词尾y变成i加eth, 如：sixty-sixtieth/60^th
　十位数之间的数，由十位数加个位数构成，中间用连字符号。构成序数词时，十位数用基数词表示，个位数用序数词表示。如：21/ twenty-one→twenty-first/ 21^st

Note:

When we talk about the date or want to talk about something in order, we use ordinal numbers, for example, 1^st January, on the third floor, the second one on the left, etc.

We can use numbers to talk about time, date, age, price, street number, percentage, etc.

3. Interviewing a professional

　1) Planning

　 To plan the interview, you need first to work in groups and discuss who you would like to choose to interview. Also you need to discuss what background information to find to make your wall display interesting.

　2) Preparing

　 To prepare the interview, the group members responsible for researching information about the professional should collect the useful information and provide it to those responsible for preparing questions. Those responsible for conducting the interview and taking notes at the interview discuss with the whole group to choose what information about the person can be used in the report and the wall display. If possible, using some photographs of the professional may have better effect.

3) Producing

　 In the producing step, you are to write the story about the professional based on the interview note and draw appropriate pictures that illustrate the experience of the person. After you finish your work, the whole group should proofread to correct any mistakes and add any new ideas.

4) Presenting

Now time came for you to present. One of you in each group will present your story to the class. Everyone should get well prepared to speak. Then you can put your displays on the walls for the whole class to read.
