sample writing:
when we came into the arboretum, our sight was attracted by all the vivid colours of varieties of flowers at once—reds, yellows, purples, white, blue, pinks, oranges and so on. i loved lilies very much, which were shaped like horns. the white ones were the most sweet-smelling with large size; the pink ones were beautiful in both colour and sweet and the orange ones were vivid in colour with no sweet and small size. i loved roses the best. they have all advantages in the large flower sizes, good-looking shapes, rich colours and sweet smell. a new type of rose named blue yaoji was so charming that i just wanted to kiss the gem-blue flowers. the butterfly orchids were both rare and beautiful. they came from Chinese Taiwan province with a long bloom time. they got the name butterfly orchids because of the flower shapes badly like butterflies. most of them were purples and white. but i found a yellow kind, on which the flowers were a bit small like yellow jade. they were really beautiful. seeing the extraordinary beauty, i felt every cell in my body woke up. it was like discovering a whole new dimension of life.

speaking and writing p27
t: in our daily life, we sometimes meet with something unpleasant and make complaint. so when you go to another country, you should learn to complain politely, then you may get a good solution. look at the three situations on page 27. have you ever met these situations in your life? what did you say at that time? or what will you say if you are in such situations? think about it. ... now read the expressions above the situations and see how they can help you to make complaint for each of the situation. then work in pairs, choose one situation and make up a dialogue for it.
after a while, check their work by asking several pairs to act out their dialogues.
possible dialogue 1:
sa: you see, i missed my flight, official.
sb: don’t worry. you can take the next flight. we won’t charge more.
sa: you won’t charge more? i mean i’d like a refund, please.
sb: i’m sorry but we don’t have that term.
sa: i missed my flight because you didn’t announced the delay of the flight over the loudspeaker. you delayed my tour and you bear responsibility for it.
sb: let’s try to find a better solution.
possible dialogue 2:
sa: waiter!
sb: yes?
sa: the fish i ordered tastes terrible. i’d like to talk to the manager.
sb: i’m sorry. i’m the manager. i’ll ask them to change the fish for you at once.
sa: that’s not good enough. coming here to have a meal should be a pleasant thing, how can you offer me such bad food. i’m feeling very unsatisfied with your service.
