Listening text
LISTENING PART 1
As many coutries speak English as a first language, there are many different kinds of English around the world: British English, American English, Australian English, and many others. Some Engish learners might ask, “Can English speakers from different counries all understand each other ” The answer is yes. People in these countries can usually understand each other with very few problems.There are differences in vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar, but those are usually not big problems. However, those differences can cause confusion for non-native English speakers. For example, a student who has learnt British English might not be familiar with the different vocabulary that an American might use. Listen to this conversation between a foreign language student and her American classmate.

The United Nations is an intergovernmental organization tasked with maintaining international peace and security, developing friendly relations among nations, achieving international cooperation, and being a centre for harmonizing the actions of nations. It was established after World War II, with the aim of preventing future wars, and succeeded the ineffective League of Nations. Its headquarters, which are subject to extraterritoriality, are in Manhattan, New York City, and it has other main offices in Geneva, Nairobi, Vienna and the Hague.
What is United Nations
联合国是一个政府间组织，其任务是维护国际和平与安全，发展国家间的友好关系，实现国际合作，并成为协调各国行动的中心。它成立于第二次世界大战后，目的是防止未来的战争，并接替了无效的国际联盟。其总部位于纽约曼哈顿，具有治外法权，在日内瓦、内罗毕、维也纳和海牙设有其他主要办事处。

learning a foreign language
Listening text
To some students, it seems that the only foreign language to learn is English. There are, however, nearly7,000 languages in the world. After Chinese, the language with the most native language speakers isn’t English—it’s Spanish! Learning English is very useful, but it is wise to learn at least one other foreign language, if possible.
There are many reasons why people learn a foreign language. Many students choose to study one of the languages that are spoken at the UN. As they think it means better job chances in the future. The UN has six official languages: Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian, and Spanish.
They are spoken by around 2.8 billion people as their native or second languages.
Some students, though, choose to study a language because of family or friends. One American girl chose to learn Danish because her grandparents were from Denmark. When she was little, her grandpa used to read letters to her in Danish from their relatives in Denmark. Another young lady started learning French because she had several friends from African countries where French is spoken.
What do you think Which other language would you choose to study and why
Listening text
Work in pairs or groups. Discuss which other language[s] you want to learn and why.
Post-listening
My father is doing business with Russians. I’d like to learn Russian so I can help him in the future.
I like watching Japanese cartoons, so I’d like to learn Japanese.
Perhaps I should study French. I think it sounds beautiful, and I know it’s used in many countries.
EXAMPLE
A: What language do you want to study
B: I really want to study French. I think that the
French language sounds beautiful.
A: Why Do you want to go to France some day
B: Yes, I’d love to. Also, French is used by many international organisations around the world. Do you know that FIFA’s full name is in French
A: Oh, I remember that. But I don’t know how to pronounce it.
Pronunciation

Work in pairs. Read the words to each other and see if you pronounce them differently.
Listen and pay attention to how the speakers pronounce them.
English is a crazy language. There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren't invented in England or French fries in France. Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat. ...We find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig. And why is it that writers write but ... hammers don't harm (Richard Lederer)
Listen to the paragraph read by two different speakers.
Which speaker has a British accent and which has an American accent
British accent (woman)
American accent (man)
Thank you!
