Xiao Kong: Oh, hello, e with me-I’m going to the temple right now. By the way, what does “Achilles’ heel” mean
William: Oh, it means that something is my weakness-I'm really bad with maps! So do you know much about Confucius He's one of my favourite philosophers. He was such a wise man.
Xiao Kong: Oh, yes. I was born here. In fact, I believe I am a descendant of Confucius himself.
William: No way, you're pulling my leg, right So how do you know you're related to Confucius Didn't he live over 2,500 years ago
Xiao Kong: Yes, but his family tree is well recorded. He has over three million descendants. Sorry again, what does “pulling my leg” mean
William: Oh, sorry, it means to joke with someone. Anyway, so you're actually going to the temple to pay respects to your relative
听力材料
Xiao Kong: Well, yes. But I’m also meeting my study group there. We are doing a research project on Confucius’ ideas on education. You know, Confucius was a great educator, and he had many great ideas about education. For example, he talked about the relationship between learning and reflecting. He believed that learning without reflecting leads to confusion… Oh, look, the temple is just over there.
William: Oh, great! What's that big building over there
Xiao Kong: Oh, that’s the famous Dacheng Hall. You know, it's so well-respected in Qufu that no other building in the city can be taller than it.
William: Wow, now that’s respect. That’s a little bit like my hometown-Stratford-upon-Avon.
Xiao Kong: Wait, you mean where Shakespeare was from What a coincidence-Confucius and Shakespeare, two of the greatest minds in history! I really want to visit the UK-I’m really interested in British history and culture.
William: Oh, that’s great! So later we can go for a cup of tea and have a chat about it. And it would be great if you could take me somewhere to get my watch fixed.
Xiao Kong: OK, no problem! So come and meet my study group-we can tell you all about the temple. And how long are you staying in Qufu I can show you the Cemetery of Confucius and the Kong Family Mansion as well…
William: Really That’s so kind! I need all the help I can get-I'm like a fish out of water!

What else do you know about Confucius and his philosophy
Confucius was a great thinker, educator, and philosopher. His principles had a great influence on Chinese traditions and beliefs. He believed strongly in strong family loyalty and respect for others. He believed in the so-called “golden rule” of philosophy: Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you.
一般来说，相邻的两个单词属于同一意群时，前一词末尾的某些音素和后一词词首的某些音素，可能会连起来读。
连读会使我们说的英语更加流畅、悦耳。但是,连读应是在一种快速语流中自然形成的现象，而不是为了连读而去连读。
1. 辅音+元音: 相邻的两词中，前一个以辅音结尾，后一个以元音开头时，一般将辅音和元音连起来读。
eg: not at all work it out
turn it off Please pick it up
连读
常见的几种连读情况：
3. 元音+元音:前一个单词以/i/或/i:/结尾，后一个单词以元音开头时，添加/j/后连读；前一个单词以/u/或/u:/结尾，后一个单词以元音开头，添加/w/后连读。
eg: I agree.
Go out.
/aij ɡri /
/ ɡ w a t /
2. 辅音字母r或re+元音:前一个词以-r或-re结尾，后一个词以元音开头，此时r或re要发/r/音，并与其后的元音连读。
eg: for us and for ever here and there
for instance Where is it
Read this part of the poem “If-” written by British poet Rudyard Kipling(拉迪亚德·吉卜林). Notice the linking sounds. Then mark the linking sounds after the model.
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on!”
Repeat the poem after the recording.
Thank you
