11、introduce yourself at first. Your self-introduction plays an important role in making a good first impression on the interviewers. There is no fixed answer to what a good self-introduction is because of the differences in the companies, the interviewers and the job applicants. You might like to repe
12、at the main points from your resume, or you might want to focus on the information that is not shown there. Whatever way you do it, my advice is that your information must be relevant to the job you apply for, or the quality they are looking for in you. At the same time, speak in a clear voice and i
13、n a friendly tone. Dont forget your body language. A smile and eye contact will help, too.Practical Listening:Welcome to the listening course. Im Dr. Evans.

29、I always appreciate those who write good poems. Kate, Ill talk to you next Mondy. Id better be going now. Nancy, nice meeting you, and enjoy your weekend here!Kate: See you later!Nancy: Thank you. Goodbye!Task 3Nowadays relatives and friends live much more spread out than before. How do people overc
30、ome long distances to stay in touch in meaningful ways?and that means more than “Hi!” “How are you” “Everybody OK?” “Good. See ya!”Cell phones, text messages, email, and computer-generated phones are all part of a battery of weapons that help friends and loved ones stay in touch.One-on-one communica
31、tion through such means helps keep relationships alive, but the vigor that flourishes in a group of folks, especially of mixed generations is hard to achieve by mail and phone. Group communication by phone is not impossible, though. For example, family members living all over the map can arrange a c
32、onference call to talk together. But the bill for doing this is often huge and therefore it is not recommended.The internet, however, provides options we never had before. Cyber communications make it a lot easier to saty in touch. And just in time, too. Families or friends can register as an e-grou
33、p at “E-Groups” or other online linking services. And then when you post an email to your formed e-group, youre posting to everyone on the list. In effect, you have a chat room situation. Using digital photos to enhave the topic or keep the linkers updated on childrens growth and other progress can
34、be great fun, too!Task 4In daily life people are getting more and more informal. So dont get surprised at English native-speakers not saying “How do you do?” and shaking hands with you when you first meet. A causal “Hi” or “How are you doing?” or “Hello” often takes the place, but it means the same
35、thing. It is neither surprising to see that the Chinese do not often greet each other any more. They just nod or smile instead. Similarly, at the end of a day, it is more often the case that you wave a cheery “goodbye” or say something informal to the whole group such as “so long everybody” than cir
36、culating about a group in the office giving each one a personal farewell.Key DPractical listeningMr. Zhang was a professor working at a university in Guangzhou. He spent four months at University of Sydney on a joint research project. He lived with a local family during his stay in Sydney, and made
37、a lot of friends there. Before he returned home, his colleagues and friends in Sydney held a farewell party for him. And Mr. Zhou made a speech at the party:“Id like to take this opportunity to say a few words. The four months Ive spent here have been one of the most unforgettable experiences I have
38、 ever had in my life. Everybody Ive met in Sydney has been so kind that Ive really felt quite at home all the time.” Everyone here is so considerate in every way and so friendly in giving me every help I need in my work and life, that I really dont know how I can thank you enough. I hope my host and
39、 my friends here will soon pay a return visit to Guangzhou. Now let me take this opportunity to thank you all for your hospitality and say goodbye to you all. Thank you!”Part C Fun ListeningTask 1Upside-downPhilip was the manager of a small electronics shop, where parts of electronic products were a
40、lso available upon request. Once he ordered parts No. 699 from a factory. With a glance at the little box when he received it, he thought that someone had sent him parts No.669 instead. He was so angry at the factorys incompetence that he immediately sent the box back without opening it, along with
41、a letter giving them a piece of his mind. A few days later, Philip received the same box back, with a letter that contained just four words: “TURN THE BOX OVER”. It was not until he opened the box that he realized he was the one who had made a mistake.KeyPhilip was careless. The parts he received we
42、re right, but he held the box upside-down and mistook 699 to 669.Task 2It wont be easy, youll think it strange 这并不容易，你们也会诧异When I try to explain how I feel 我努力说出我的感受That I still need your love after all that Ive done 因为即使今天，我仍然需要你们的爱You wont believe me 你们不会相信All you will see is a girl you once knew
