(1) Tara's News
This is the last time we'll do the news. Students who haven't done the comments during the past week, will tell us the news first. So, if you are serious about improving your listening skills, please listen to the news; this is probably also the last time you would ever do it as students just don't visit this website any longer to practice their language skills by themselves.
(2) Class activity: Describing a car accident.
We'll divide into 7 or 8 small groups and follow the script in the attachment. At the end of the role plays, each group will report back to the class about the outcome of the accident report.

In this picture, I see two cars crashed into each other at the crossroads, and the owner of the red luxury car looked like a little panic. Many people standing there waiting for nothing. But I see a man who’s in blue jacket seemed calling the ambulance I think. If I were there I may just calling 112 as well, cause I do am lack of first aid skills, May someday I could learn some skills and save someone who’s in danger.
Haha Long Yuan, the scene of the accident in the picture, is just coincidental! But, if you want to use that as your script for your group's role play, you are welcome! And if you want to make the driver of the Rolls Royce a rich woman in stead of a rich man, it's also okay as it doesn't really matter (as long as your group practice their language skills)!
Zhang Ke, if I know what the meaning is of, "Routh Las", then maybe I can comment! Oh, and what does the police know about truth ...?! If the rich man offers them money to decide the case in his favour, truth wouldn't matter any longer (that's how I understand it works nowadays)!
Well Sarah, if the class decides on the outcome of the accident, I hope they would have some compassion for the old people ...! Does the rich man really need the old lady's money to get his car repaired?! Is it really about money?! It is time that the rich and powerful should be stopped exploiting the poor and defenseless!
I rode an electric bike to take my sister to railway.
The accident happened to me on my way home.A taxi unexpectedly fishtailed around, skidding to a stop for driving a passenger just next to me.I have no time to stop my electric bike.The driver only saw the passenger but ignored me.I was just able to fit my bike between the taxi and sidewalk brick. The paint of his taxi was rubbed by my bike.So he asked me compensate his loss with money.But I didn't have money and bring my cellphone with me that day.Then he was going to move my battery of my bike and make it his own.I borrowed his mobile phone call my mother and policeman to ask for help.Traffic police and my mother came a few minutes later.The police judged that the accident was caused by negligence on the part of the driver according to the scene of the accident.The accident has a happy ending for me.
So I would like to play the role of police to help others.They really help me a lot.
What?! You rode an electric bike when you were 3 years old, Shelly?! Your parents were irresponsible to have allowed you at such an age to ride any bike (let alone an e-bike)! You could have been seriously injured! I can't believe this! And a 3-year old with a cell phone too ...?! Come on, Shelly; it can't be!
Well, in your case it helped to get the police out to the "accident" scene. That was a real unscrupulous taxi driver and he would have exploited the situation as he knew you were young and couldn't really defend yourself. Most men are like that (yes, some hard-hearted women too, of course!); they are not "man" enough to admit mistake and take the blame for their actions. I'm glad your situation ("accident") had a happy ending! :)
Guo Hongtai, and what would you do if the rich man in the Rolls Royce was guilty and he offers you money (a lot of money!) to lie to the police that the old lady was responsible? Would you still tell the truth?! ;-)
On a morning,people are going to work,time is very tight.so the man who are driving was so anxious.we can see a blue car was crashing into a red sports car.The drivers must be angry and feel unfortunate.The sexy lady was helpless,and the man driver have got out of the car,having no ideas about what to do,I guess he must be speecless with bad mood especially while the other car driver was a beautiful lady.and an old lady was stading by the road have truly seen it all.another person who was also on the way to the company.Traffic jam was terrible.I cannot understand why traffic police havn’t come.I’d like to say people are supposed to leave as soon as possible because damage to the vehicle may explode.
We must be careful though there are something urgent we have to do.
