CC, why do you wait till the early morning before you make your comment?! Why do you say the news topic is 'special'? What makes it special? Just because Obama has endorsed it? I think it is still disgusting as the gay agenda is lately being forced onto the world. I also am of the opinion that is wasn't a good topic for the news.
Wow CC, you are so lucky to watch a football game in class! I hope the commentary was in English as it was an English class?! Well, I don't watch football regularly. Maybe it is partly because the best football in the world is played in Europe and they mostly show that in the middle of the night on Chinese TV. But when it is World Cup time, I like to watch every game that they broadcast if I am free to watch it. I did that in 2010 when the World Cup took place in my home country and I think I watched about every game as Chinese TV broadcasted each game! I was then with Liao Gongda at the main campus in Fuxin and I can still remember that on some mornings I would watch the last game of the day till the end around 4.30am Chinese time (South Africa is 6 hours behind Chinese time), go to bed, and at 8am I will be in class for the first class! That month was very hard on me! But luckily I didn't have many early morning classes! This year my classes stop in week 16 (last class on 6 June) and the World Cup starts on 13 June; so, I don't have to worry about going to class after watching the games!
But what about you, CC? Do you watch football? Normally girls don't watch much of that game; but times are changing! And are you planning to watch some of this year's World Cup games? You first have to finish your exams!
Pauline, your comment doesn't convince me that you have opened and read the attachment about the lesson. What you said is exactly what other students said too. So, why comment then?
Ann, are you sure about the dates of the World Cup? Where did you get it from (I hope you didn't copy from my post)? And how do you know that I chose this video from the seven videos in the series? It's my guess that you read my comment to Hou Yan, right? Don't reply; I know it is right! Now I am even wondering whether you have written anything above that was your own work, Ann? I have the feeling you got all your information from the other comments. Am I right?
Jackie, the longest river in the world is not called the "Amaron" river! And neither is he world's biggest rain forest called the "Amaron" rainforest! And, you are not supposed to READ the news, but to LISTEN to it!
So, if you love football, I guess you will also watch as many games during the World Cup as possible, right?! Which country do you favour for winning the championship?
Zhou Yuqi, Brazil is NOT the largest city in South America! And another thing, you didn't look at the attachment. Do you want to tell me that you still can't open it? Did Meng Guimiao not tell your class how to do it? Are you prepared for tomorrow's class?
hello, teacher.I have watched the videos,the videos give us advice that tell us how to communicate in English .The city is sao paulo. the city is control center .For children ,the teacher will tell story and help them study when they playing.And for teenagers,if we want communicate in English ,we can use the ways like do more talks, play international games,study on website,listen music,watch film and so on.
Tian Jing, thank you for watching the video (though it was optional to watch). I can see you know what the lesson is about and hopefully the lesson tomorrow would be easier for you to follow. However, what do you mean by "the city is Sao Paulo"? Do you mean that is the city in the picture? Are you sure?!
Zhou Ying, can you still not open the attachment? Did Meng Guimiao not tell the class what to do to open it? Your comment really isn't telling me much. So, that means you are not prepared for tomorrow's class.
Thank you, Ada, for a good comment (though it appears that you haven't opened the attachment!). You are making a habit of giving good comments nowadays! Why can't most of your classmates not follow the good example from you and your classmate, Kelly?!
Hello,teacher.I just saw the news which made me so surprised!The news is about a football player in America identified himself as homosexual.I had never thought about the news could be about homosexual!And i had searched some information about it.A few times ago,in America,the state of California published the legitimate of the homosexual .And a short time later,several states also agree with it.I enjoyed watching a popular American talk show''Ellen Show'',the compere wear handsome clothes looks very gentle ,but i often feel so strange about his gender that today i searched on www.Baidu .com about it.Finally i knew she !She is a woman .but i also found she is a gay.I feel i am tend to change the channel.
In fact,i am very very disagree with the homosexual.Maybe because i am behind the tide of popular as my partner said.Maybe just because of the traditional Chinese concept affect me a lot .In my view,it is formal for male and female fall in love and get married together.The gay's behavior maybe disobey the ethic of human being.
Even though i strongly disagree with the homosexual,i still promised to recite the news carefully.
I read the attachment about next class.We will see a video about Brazil.We will do some activities after the video.The capital of Brazil is Brasilia.The official language is Portuguese.It is the largest country in south america.The World Cup is coming,the timetable was published,so teacher ,by the way,my father is a fan of Brazil,are you also a World Cup fan?Thank you for your reading.
