time in teaching myself in the spare time . I have to work on the

First, it is necessary to keep a balanced diet, which is the basis of good health. It is better for us to have more fruits and vegetables everyday. Secondly, it is important to take regular exercises, such as swimming, jogging and so on. Last but not least, it is essential to keep in a good mood.

Relaxation and entertainment are ways to renew our spirits and release our stress. When we make healthy habits a part of our daily life, we are bound to keep healthy.

1.   Read the following passage and choose the correct topic sentence for each paragraph. Write your answers in the table below.

What’s Your Sign?

1     Thousands of years ago, the ancient people of Babylon and Egypt studied the stars in the sky and created the zodiac. It was first used to count time. Later, many used the stars to describe a person’s character and to say what will happen in the future.

2     A person’s zodiac sign is connected to his or her birth date. Some believe this sign can tell us about a person’s character. For example, some think that a person born under the sign of Aries (between March 12 and April 20) is adventurous. A person born under Cancer (between June 22 and July 23) is kind and home loving.

3     In many countries in Asia, people believe the Chinese zodiac describes character and can foretell future events. In the Chinese zodiac, there are twelve animals. A person’s animal sign is connected to his or her birth year. Every animal has a different type of character. People born in the year of the Rat are friendly, but careful. Those born in the year of the Monkey are smart and good at making money. Many believe that the Rat and Monkey are a good match.
 
4     In Asia, a person’s blood type is also used to describe character. People with the blood type A are calm and serious, but they can be selfish. Type Bs are independent but can be lazy. ABs are honest, and type Os are loving and talkative. Not everybody believes that your birth sign or blood type describes your character. But reading your horoscope can still be a lot of fun. 

1). Paragraph 1

A. Ancient people studied the stars and created the zodiac.

B. The zodiac was first used to count time.

2). Paragraph 2

A. A person born on March 30 is an Aries.

B. Some people believe a person’s character is connected to his or her birth date.

3). Paragraph 3

A. The Chinese zodiac is used in Asia to describe character and talk about the future.

B. The animals in the Chinese zodiac have different characters.

4). Paragraph 4

A. People with the blood type AB are honest; type Bs are independent.

B. Blood type is also used in Asia to describe character.

The following passage is taken from your textbook, but the discourse markers are taken out. Read the passage carefully and then fill in the blanks numbered 5-10 with appropriate transitions or expressions given below. There are four more transitions than needed in the text. 
 

Body Language and Culture

    In addition, body language varies from culture to culture. 5___________, each culture employs gestures and body movements which convey some meaning often supporting  the verbal utterance. Gestures and body movements are not necessarily the same in all cultures. 6___________, Chinese people traditionally receive gifts with both hands to show sincere thanks 7___________ English people would normally only use one hand. English people regard receiving gifts with both hands as a sign of being greedy, 8___________ Chinese think receiving gifts with one hand impolite. 9___________, teachers should, in addition to explaining how culture influences verbal language, also call students’ attention to the similarities and dissimilarities between English and Chinese in body language because body language is an integral part of a culture.

    It can be seen therefore that being unaware of cultural differences can lead to cultural mistakes which create trouble in real-life communication. Wolfson (1983:62) comments: ‘In interacting with foreigners, native speakers tend to be rather tolerant of errors in pronunciation or syntax. 10___________, violations of rules of speaking are often interpreted as bad manners since the native speakers are unlikely to be aware of sociolinguistic relatively.

    Today I’d like to talk about some of the problems that students face when they follow a course of study through the medium of English – if English is not their mother tongue. The purpose is to show that we’re aware of students’ problems, and that by analyzing them perhaps it’ll be possible to suggest how some of them may be overcome.

    The problems can be divided into three broad categories: psychological, cultural and linguistic. The first two categories mainly concern those who come to study in Britain. I’ll comment only on these first two problems today. Some of the common psychological problems really involve fear of the unknown: for example, whether one’s academic studies will be too difficult, whether one will fail the examinations, etc. All students share these apprehensions. It’s probably best for a student not to look too far ahead but to concentrate day-by-day on increasing his knowledge and developing his ability. The overseas student in Britain may also suffer from separation from his family and possible homesickness. Enjoyment of his activities in Britain and the passage of time are the only real help here.

    Looking now at the cultural problems, we can see that some of them are of a very practical nature, e.g. arranging satisfactory accommodation; getting used to British money, British food and weather. Some of the cultural difficulties are less easy to define: they are bound up with the whole range so alien customs, habits and traditions – in other words, the British way of life. Such difficulties include: settling into a strange environment and a new academic routine; learning a new set of social habits, ranging from the times of meals to the meanings of gestures and expressing appropriate greetings. Being open-minded and adaptable is the best approach to some of the difficulties listed here.

1.   In Unit 5, you are exposed to 5 factors of narrating an event. Read the story and check your understanding by deciding whether the following statements are true or false. Write T for true and F for false in the brackets. 

                       Watching the Orang Utangs

    Two years ago, I decided to go for a week to Sarawak, which is in Malaysian Kalimantan. At my hotel reception desk, I noticed brochures about excursions you could do in the area. So, the next day, I’d booked myself on a tour to the Orang Utang Rehabilitation Camp.
My guide met me at 8.30 the next morning. He was a local tribesman and had a great knowledge about the wildlife in the area. He explained to me that the Rehabilitation Camp was set up to train the orang utangs, whose mothers had been killed by hunters, to live in the wild again. They were set free in the area around the camp and in case they had difficulty finding food for themselves, the camp rangers would put food out for them at the same time every morning.
    When we got to the camp, we saw a ranger come with a barrow of fruit and put it out on a platform in the jungle. My guide told me to look up at the tree tops and wait patiently, which I did. Suddenly, I noticed the trees in the distance bending, and gradually I could see a huge red-haired orang utang slowly swinging through the trees on his way towards us. It was a thrilling sight. To be so close to such a large and gentle-looking wild animal was very exciting. This orang utang slowly swung his way down to the platform, swooped up some bananas in his long fingers and swung back to the tree tops.
    After a little while, a mother orang utang appeared with her baby. She left the baby in the tree tops and slowly and gracefully swung down to the platform and took the fruit back up to him.
    Eventually, several of these great apes appeared. Some of them were very shy and quickly grabbed the fruit and left, but others were as curious about us as we were about them, and they hung from all four limbs between two trees and watched us.
    It was a thrilling experience that I will never forget.

Read the following 5 short passages and identify the writing techniques used in each of them. Your choices are given in the box below.
 

Passage 1
Many different kinds of signals are used by the coaches. There are flash signs, which are just what the name implies: the coach may flash a hand across his face or chest to indicate a bunt or hit-and-run. There are holding signals, which are held in one position for several seconds. These might be the clenched fist, bent elbow, or both hands on knees. Then there are the block signals. Different players can be keyed to various parts of the block, so the coach is actually giving several signals with the same sign.
16. _____________________

Passage 2
Volcanic eruptions are the final stage of a process that begins with the melting of rock in a planet’s interior, the “source region.” The most usual source of the heat that leads to melting is energy released by the decay of radioactive elements. The material in the source region is generally only partially molten, being made up of magma, or liquid rock, and unmelted crystals. The lighter liquid gradually rises above the denser crystals through the action of gravity and collects in magma chambers. The segregation process that drives the liquid upward can take anywhere from hundreds of years to hundreds of millions, depending primarily on the force of gravity, which varies with depth and the planet’s size, on the nature of the crystals in the source region, on the amount of liquid produced by the heat available and on the viscosity of the liquid.
17. _____________________

Passage 3
In fact, mistranslation accounts for a good share of verbal errors. The slogan “Come Alive with Pepsi” failed understandably in German when it was translated: “Come Alive out of the Grave with Pepsi.” Elsewhere it was translated with more precision: “Pepsi Brings Your Ancestors Back from the Grave.”
18. _____________________

Passage 4
My husband and I constantly marvel at the fact that our two sons, born of the same parents and only two years apart in age, are such completely opposite human beings. The most obvious differences became apparent at their births. Our first born, Mark, was big and bold – his broad shoulders, huge and heavy hands, and powerful chunky legs gave us the impression that he could have walked out the delivery room on his own. Our second son, Wayne, was delightfully different. Rather than having the football physique that Mark was born with, Wayne came into the world with a long, slim, wiry body more suited to running, jumping, and contorting. Wayne’s eyes, rather than being intense like Mark’s, were impish and innocent.

Passage 5
Biofeedback, Dr. Green said, means getting immediate, ongoing information about one’s own biological processes or condition – such as heart behavior, temperature, brain-wave activity, blood pressure or muscle tension, and using the information to change and control voluntarily the specific process or response being monitored.
