He Wei: This is a Fun Times Park, the biggest amusement park in our city!

Alice: Before we decide, could you first tell me where the restrooms are?

He Wei: Pardon? Restroom? You want to rest? But we haven't even started yet!

Alice: Oh no, I don't mean that.I mean...you know a washroom or bathroom.

He Wei: Humm...so you mean... the toilet?

Alice: Yes! Sorry, maybe people in China don't often use the word "restroom" when they speak English.

He Wei: That's right.In China we normally say "toilet" or "wash room" in English.Anyway, they are over there.

Alice: OK. I will be quick!

Alice: Yes, I'm so glad I tried it!

He Wei: Do you want to go to Water World now?

Alice: Sure, but I'm getting hungry.Do you know where we can get some good food quickly?

He Wei: Of course! I suggest Water City Restaurant in Water World.It serves delicious food.

Alice: Great! Let's go!

Alice: Look! This restaurant looks interesting. The sign says a rock band plays here every evening.

He Wei: Why don't we come back here for dinner later? Let's ask what time the band starts playing.

[Alice and He Wei walk up to a staff person at the door.]

He Wei: Excuse me, could you tell us when the band starts playing this evening?

Staff: Eight o clock. The restaurant is always busy at that time, so come a little earlier to get a table.

He Wei: OK. Thank you!

Section B 2b

Could Y ou Please...?

When you visit a foreign country, it is important to know how to ask for help politely. For example, you may ask "Where are the restrooms?" or "Could you please tell me where the restrooms are?" These are similar requests for directions. Both are correct, but the first one sounds less polite. That is because it is a very direct question. It is not enough to just ask a question correctly. We also need to learn how to be polite when we ask for help.

Good speakers change the way they speak in different situations. The expressions they use might depend on whom they are speaking to or

how well they know each other. It is all right to ask direct questions to your classmates because you know them well. However, if you say to your teacher, "When is the school trip?", this might sound impolite. But if you say "Excuse me, Mr. West. Do you know when the school trip is?", this will sound much more polite.

Usually apply to questions or longer. They include expressions such as "Could you please...? or "May I ask...?"It sounds more polite to say, "Peter, could you please tell me your e-mail address?" than "Peter, tell me your e-mail address." Sometimes we even need to spend time leading into a request. For example, we might first say to a stranger, "Excuse me, I wonder if you can help me" or "I'm sorry to trouble you, but..."before asking for help.

It might seem more difficult to speak politely than directly. However, it is important to learn how to use the right language in different situations. This will help you communicate better with other people.

Module 1 When I arrived, it was early morning and it was raining. I got out of the car, went through a gate and walked along a path. In the east, the sky was becoming light. I knew it was there, but there was nothing to see. After about a mile, a stranger appeared in front of me. “Am I going the right way?” I asked. He knew where I was going. “Yes,” he replied. “you’ll get there in five minutes.” Finally, I came to some rocks and stopped. I looked over them, but it was silent and there was no sign of it. Suddenly, the clouds cleared and the rain stopped. The sun rose behind me and beyond the rocks. I saw that the ground fell away and down to a river, far below me. I was looking across the Grand Canyon, one of the wonders of the natural world. I looked down to the Colorado River, from here a silver stream nearly one mile below me. If you put the two tallest buildings in the world on top of the each other at the bottom of the canyon, they still wouldn’t reach the top. Then I looked across to the other side of the canyon. How far is it? It’s about fifteen miles, maybe more. Finally, I looked to my left and to my right, and on both sides the canyon went far away, about 277 miles long. The Grand Canyon is not just big. It’s huge! I remained by the canyon for about half an hour, and I asked myself, “Is the Grand Canyon the greatest wonder anywhere in the natural world?” I certainly know the answer. But what do you think? Module 2 Thanksgiving is an American festival. People give thanks for their food. It’s celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November and it’s a time for a special dinner among family and friends. We’ve celebrated the festival since the first pioneers from England arrived in America by ship in the seventeenth century. While they were crossing the Atlantic, many people died, and after they landed, their first winter was worse than any English winter. The local people, the Native Americans, taught the pioneers how to grow corn, catch fish and keep cows, sheep and hens. The following year they celebrated together by eating a dinner of the new food. We still celebrate Thanksgiving today with a traditional dinner. The kitchen is the most crowded room in our house because we all help to prepare the food there. We lay the table, then before we begin dinner, my father gives praise for the food, so we remember where the festival comes from. We usually eat too much, but it’s only once a year! We often listen to speeches and tell stories after dinner as well. When it’s all over everyone helps wash the dishes.

2014人民教育出版社九年级英语教科书课本课文目录 Unit1 how can we become good learners How I Learned to Learn English Last year, I did not like my English class. Every class was like a bad dream. The teacher spoke too quickly. But I was afraid to ask questions because my pronunciation was very bad. So I just hid behind my textbook and never said anything. Then one day I watched an English movie called Toy Story. I fell in love with this exciting and funny movie! So then I began to watch other English movies as I could not understand everything the characters said, their body language and the expressions on their faces helped me to get the meaning. I also realized I could get the meaning by listening for just the key words. My pronunciation also improved by listening to the interesting conversations in English movies. I discovered that listening to something you are interested in is the secret to language learning. I also learned useful sentences like “It’s a piece of cake” or “It serves you right.” I did not understand these sentences at first. But because I wanted to understand the story, I looked up the words in a dictionary. Now I really enjoy my English class. I want to learn new words and more grammar. Then I

托尼:我们给《世界奇观》节目打电话，加入讨论吧。我觉得自然奇观比人造奇观更有趣。而且我认为巨人之路是最神奇的自然奇观。 玲玲:嗯，我没有见过巨人之路，所以我不知道该不该同意你的看法。你为什么会喜欢它呢，托尼？ 托尼:哦，两年前我浏览了巨人之路。它非常大，由大约4万多块石块组成，大多数石块都有六个面。巨人之路位于北爱尔兰东海岸，绵延数百米。 玲玲:听起来很神奇，但我认为非洲的维多利亚瀑布更壮观。瀑布宽约1700米，高约100米，数千米之外就能听到瀑布的巨响。 贝蒂:哇！那么大啊！但是，在我看来，人造奇观比自然奇观更激动人心。就说兵马俑吧，它们都有两千多年的历史了。 大明:我同意你的看法，贝蒂。我觉得三峡大坝也很神奇。大坝长约2300米，高185米，顶部宽15米。它为中国数百万的人口供电。 贝蒂:那现在谁来拨打热线？ 我到那里时是大清早，天下着雨。我朝东边看了看，天空变得灰蒙蒙的。我下了车，穿过一道门，沿着一条黑暗的小路前行。虽然什么也看不见，但我知道它就在那里。 大约走了一英里，小路边出现了一个陌生人。我问道：“我走的路对吗？”他知道我要去哪里。他答道：“对，五分钟后你就能到达那里。”终于，我走到一些岩石前停了下来。我朝那片岩石望过去，但是一片寂静，还是看不见它。 突然，雨停了，云散了。太阳从我身后升起，照在岩石上。地面(仿佛在随着光线)向下延伸，（逐渐）退落到下面的一条河里。我在眺望着这自然界奇观之一的大峡谷。 我俯视着距我一英里之遥的银色的科罗拉多河。即使你把世界上最高的两栋建筑物叠在一起放在谷底，它们仍就到不到了顶。然后我眺望峡谷的另一边。它大约在15英里之外，也许更远。最后，我向左右遥望，大峡谷向两边延伸,长达200多英里。大峡谷不仅仅是大，而是巨大！ 我在大峡谷伫立半小时有余，我问了自己一个问题：“大峡谷是自然界中最壮观的奇观吗？”我心中自然已有答案。你怎么认为呢？ 托尼:玲玲,10月1日是中国的国庆节，对吗？ 玲玲:是的。中华人民共和国成立于1949年10月1日。从那时开始，中国人（每年）都庆祝国庆节。（国庆节时）到处都有鲜花和国旗，我们休假3天。 托尼:这个国庆假期你有什么计划吗？ 玲玲:有。我和爸爸妈妈准备去山东省拜访一些朋友。我们会一直待在那里，直至假期结束。和朋友们在一起期间，我们会去青岛玩一天。贝蒂，你们的国庆节是什么时候呀？贝蒂:我们的国庆节叫独立日，在7月4日。从1777年以来，我们一直庆祝这个节日。独立日是一个公共假日，但我们只放一天假。那一天有各种各样的节日活动。这个时间是休假季节的开始，大多数人都会在七月或八月的某段时间休假。 玲玲:那天有什么特别的事情吗？ 贝蒂:嗯，到处都可以看到美国国旗。我们通常会去一些好地方野餐。孩子们玩得可开以了。我们也可以在公园里观看乐队演奏乐曲。 大明:托尼，你们英国也过国庆节吗？ 托尼:不，我们没有。我们放假两天庆祝圣诞节。假期一开始，我们一家就会去某人好玩的地方。 李老师：大明，谁是你的英雄？你要选择谁来讲述？

2014秋季九年级英语unit3课文及翻译 Could You Please…? When you visit a foreign country, it is important to know how to ask for help politely. For example, “Where are the restrooms?” are similar requests for directions to a place. Both are correct English, but the first one sounds less polite. That is because it is very direct question. It is not enough to just ask a question correctly. We also need to learn how to be polite by being less direct – or more indirect—when we ask for help. In English, as in Chinese, we change the way we speak when we talk with different people. The expressions you use might depend on whom you are speaking to or how well you know them. If you say to your teacher, “When is the school trip?”, when the school trip is?”, this will sound much more polite. However, it is all right to ask direct questions in some situations, like with your classmates. Usually polite questions are longer and include more language such as “Could you please…?” or “Can I ask…?” It sounds more polite to say,“Peter, could you please tell me your e-mail address?” than “Peter, tell me your e-mail address.” Sometimes we even need to spend time leading in to a request. For example, with a stranger on the street, we might first say,“Excuse me, I wonder if you can help me” or “I’m sorry to trouble you, but ... before asking for helping. It might seem more difficult to speak politely than be direct. However, it is important to learn how to use proper language. This will also help you become better at English. or any other language you wish to speak. 当你在外国旅游时，知道如何礼貌地寻求帮助是很重要的。例如：“休息室在哪里？”或 者“请问能告诉我休息室在哪里吗？”是问一个地方在哪里的相似问法。两种说法语法都正确，但是第一种没有第二种听起来礼貌。那是因为第一种问法太直接。只是正确地提问还不够。当我们在寻求帮助的时候，我们还需要学会如何在寻求帮助时表现礼貌而且用不那么直接或者更间接的方法。 就像中文里，在英语中我们会和不同的人交谈改变不同的说话方式。你使用的短语可能取决于你说话的对象或者你了解他们的程度。如果你对老师说“哪天去校游？”，这可能听起来不太礼貌。但是如果你说“韦斯特先生，打扰一下，你知道哪天去校游吗？”，这样听起来会礼貌得多。但是，在某些情况下直接提问是没有关系的，比如和你的同学们在一起。

You can never imagine howdifficultthe road to success is. Many times I thought about giving up, but I fought on. You really require a lot of talent and hard work to succeed.
