skills building 1: completing a text
in this part, you will learn how to complete a text by listening. you are expected to learn what to do before and after listening and how to use the skills in practice.
1. read the guidelines on page 42. read the instructions out and make sure you understand the four tips about what you should do before you listen.
what is the first thing you need to do before listening? why should we do this?
what should we do next?
how can we decide what the missing words probably are?
what is the fourth thing about?
2. what do you think we should do after we have finished a passage? (proofread it to ensure that it makes sense and check whether there are any mistakes in it, include any spelling mistakes.) remember that it is very important to review the text and make sure there are no mistakes or missing words.
step 1: showing foreign visitors around
1. go over the instructions to find out what you are going to do in part a. read the diary and try to guess what each of the missing words is by using the methods you have learnt in skills building 1.
you can do this in pairs.
2. listening practice:  listen to the recording and fill in the missing words. you may check your guesses at the same time.

li lin: well, i think that was a great day. we showed the three visitors around beijing and i think they enjoyed it. what were their names again?
zhu qing: well, there was mr singh from india, mr takashi from japan and mr hudson from the usa.
li lin: yes, i thought it was a good day and we managed to visit quite a few places. we did have a few strange incidents though, didn’t?
zhu qing: mmm, it was very odd how mr singh reacted when you held out your left hand. he wouldn’t shake hands with you!
li lin: also, he got a bit upset in the restaurant and refused to try the black pepper beer on the menu. i thought most people liked black pepper beef. perhaps h e would have preferred beef and onions.
zhu qing: all the visitors i have taken to that restaurant before have really enjoyed it. mr takashi and mr hudson liked it. mr takashi seemed to have a really good time. he asked so many questions in the forbidden city that i think i know the history very well now! he must have taken about a hundred photos in a day and he kept buying lots of gifts. some were very expensive. one thing i noticed though w as that he was always giving people his business card. he  didn’t look very happy when i just put in my pocket. also, it was very confusing when he kept making an okay sign. we just didn’t know what he wanted.
