Wang Jing dan teacher Li talk about her getting married

Wang Jing dan teacher Li talk about the matter of her getting married.

Teacher Li, next month on the 5th I will be getting married.

Are you joking ?

Isn't it that you've got to know each other for one month ?

Even though the time we've known each other is not long, but I've never been this happy before.

When two people are together, the best thing is having mutual (common) interests and hobbies.

We have a lot of mutual (common) interests and hobbies.

Frequently we play tennis together, sing and cook. 

Seems like you really found the person suitable for you.

Wish you happiness !

Teacher Gao and teacher Li talk about life after marriage

Teacher Gao and teacher Li talk 

I heard you and your wife have been married for 20 years ?

Till the 9th of June, we'll just be married for 20 years.

So many years, our live has continuously been very happy (blessed).

My husband and I the time we just got married, everyday we felt very fresh, together we had endless talks to say. But now ...

In the shared life of two people only having romance and feeling fresh is not enough.

You're right !

Now everyday the things I only see are his shortcomings.

When two people are together for a long time, then there would be a lot of problems, just have to accept his disadvantages (weak points) and you still can in a better way live together.

Teks 4

Many girls envy romantic love. So what is romance ?

Young people say : romance is when she wants the moon, you can't give her the stars; middle aged people say : romance is even if working overtime at night till 12 midnight, when coming back home, in your own home the light is also still turned on; old people say : romance actually is just like what the song say, I can't think of the most romantic thing is just to be with you getting old slowly together."

Actually ,what make us  be moved is just the life's simple love. Sometimes, simple is just the greatest happiness.

Teks 5

When talking about marriage, people will just naturally think of love.

Love is an important reason for marriage, but in the shared life of two people, romantic love is not only what's needed, the more needed is mutual attraction of personality.

My husband is a very humorous person. Even if it's a very ordinary thing, when the words come out of his mouth it may become very interesting. The time when I am sad, he always has a way to make me happy, moreover his temper is also good. We've been married for 10 years, we nearly  had whatever cause to get angry. Many people envy us very much.

Lesson 2

Teks 1

It's been almost a year since came to China. Have you adapted to life here ?

I was a little uncomfortable at first, and later I gradually got used to it.

Recently I made a Chinese friend.

That's good. Tell me about your Chinese friend.

We met at the library. We often read books, go shopping, and play football together.

Sometimes he sent me some funny text messages.

Your friend is really good ! How about introducing to us next time ?

No problem ! We are going to play football this afternoon, so let's just go together.

Teks 2

Can you come to the class reunion on Sunday ?

I can come.

How are you getting in touch with classmates ?

How many people are coming ?

It's about half of them.

Does Zhang Yuan fly back from abroad ?

Really ?

It's been almost ten years since graduated.

I really miss everyone.

By the way, this morning, I met Wang Jing at the subway station.

After she graduated, she went to work in Shanghai.

She came to travel this time.

That's great ! Could you please contact her and ask her to come to the class reunion together.

The party is at the restaurant in front of the school, half past six.

Don't be late !

Don't worry. See you at half past six on Sunday !

Teks 3

When is this photo ? You are so young !

This is a photo when I was in college.

When I saw this photo, I remembered the happy days in the past, as if I was back on campus.

The person next to you must be your good friend, right ?

Are you still in touch now ?

Of course, eventhough we have graduated for so many years, we still keep in touch each other and we can't finish talking every time.

I really envy you !

My best friend when I was in college went in the South fir work, and we have not been in touch for a long time.

I'll call her in a while.

Yes.

You know, to have a real friend, a real friendship is not easy.

Teks 4

Everyone needs friends, friends can enrich our lives,

Without friends, our life will be very boring, so, how can we make more friends ?

Of course, have a good temper.

A person with a bad temper is not necessarily annoying, but it is difficult to make friends with others because no one likes to be with someone who is always easy to get angry.

We also need to communicate with people around us often.

Communication allows people to understand each other,and if they have common interests, hobbies or habits, it is easier to become friends.

Teks 5

A person can have nothing in his life, but he cannot be without friends, and he must have his own true friends. 

What is a true friend ?

Different people have different understandings.

Some people think that friends are people who can be happy with themselves; some people think that friends should be like mirrors, that can help them see their shortcomings, and my understanding is : when you encounter difficulties, true friends will stand up and help you in time, when you are bored or sad, true friends will accompany you and find ways to make you more happy.

Lesson 3

Teks 1

How was your interview this morning ?

It was okay. The questions they ask are pretty easy, but I was a little nervous.

During the interview, you must have confidence in yourself and believe in your abilities.

You are right. There will be a job fair in the school stadium at 8 a.m on March 15th.

Will you go ?

I haven't decided yet.

I heard that there are many job opportunities offered by this job fair.

Let's go together and take a look.

Teks 2

Xiaolin, isn't Xiaoli responsible for this recruitment ?

Xiaoli was in charge, but he suddenly fell ill and is hospitalized, so he left it to me.

Oh, are there many applicants this time ?

Manager, a total of 15 people came to apply this time.

After the written test and the interview, there are two good ones.

This is their data, take a look. The abilities of these two people are more in line with our requirements.

Tell them to come to my office at nine o'clock next Monday morning.

Okay, then I will contact them immediately.

Teks 3

Wang Jing, it's been a long time !

We haven't contacted after graduating from university.

Where do you work now ?

As soon as I graduated, I went to work as a lawyer in Shanghai.

You must be very satisfied with your current job, right ?

I like my current job very much because I study law and my colleagues like me very much. In addition, the income is also good.

Our classmates reunion on Sunday, can you come to participate ?

I can come. Although the schedule is very tight when I come to Beijing this time, I will definitely take this opportunity to meet you all.

Teks 4

During the interview, the manager had a good impression on me, and he informed me that I could go to work tomorrow, I didn't expect that the job search went so smoothly. Do you want to know what you need to pay attention during the interview ? First of all, you must wear proper clothes. This will leave a good impression on the interviewer, and make him feel that you are a serious person. Secondly, don't be nervous when applying. When answering questions, don't speak too fast, don't speak too quietly and believe in your ability to do a good job. Of course, the most important thing is to be honest in answering questions.

Teks 5

The first impression is the impression left on others when they first meet. Althogh the first impression is not always right, it is difficult to change. Your first impression of others will affect how they feel and judge you in the future. Therefore, if you leave a good impression on the colleagues you meet for the first time, your future work may be smoother; if you leave a good impression on the customers you meet for the first time, you may sell more things. However, if the first time you meet, you leave a bad impression like you are not punctual, then it will be difficult for others to believe you in the future., so whether it's going to class, going to work, or dating someone, punctuality is very important. 

Lesson 4

Teks 1

I heard that you have changed job again ? You have changed jobs three times this year, right ?

Don't mention it ! I thought the new job is better than before, but I didn't expect it to be better than before.

You left the last job after only two months. In fact, it takes one year to fully adapt to a new job. Therefore, changing jobs often is not always good.

I also understand but the income from that job is too low !

You have just arrived at the new company. Don't be too eager to make money. Studying more is the most important thing.

Good. I will definitely try my best to do the job well.

Teks 2

How long will it take for that investigation to completed ?

According to the original plan, it should be two weeks, but we can finish it ahead of schedule and we guarantee it will be finished on weekend.

Although you have been busy with work recently, you should also pay attention to your health.

Thank you ! There are many things waiting for me to do now.

I really don't know which one should I do first.

Every morning, I write down the things I plan to do that day in my notebook and remind myself to arrange my time.

You can alsi try to do this.

This method is really good ! So I won't be in a hurry.

Teks 3

Manager Wang, what makes you so happy !

Our business with the company last time should finally be completed.

Great !

If you work so hard, the company will get better and better.

I thought it was easy to do business, but later I realized that it is not easy. Now it is getting harder to make money.

Take your time.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, the important thing is to accumulate more experience.

I believe that with the efforts of all of us, the company's business will grow and everything will be better.

Teks 4

Our work this year has been completed as planned.

During this period of time, although the work was very stressful, and there are many difficulties in the middle, but because of everyone's efforts, we successfully solved the problems, and successfully completed the work. Thank you very much everyone for your help ! In addition, manager Ma asked me to tell you a good news, because everyone completed the work on time, the company decided to give each person an extra 3,000 yuan bonus this month. Thank you for your hardwork for more than three months, and hope to have greater results next year ! 

Teks 5

When young people just start working, don't be too eager to make money, and don't just have wages and bonuses in their eyes. In the first few years of work, it is important to enrich one's work experience, learn the methods of communicating with colleagues, and accumulate professional knowledge. These are more important than income. But many times, we have to di some work that we don't want to do or even dislike very much. At this time, what we need most is a sense of responsibility for work. No matter how high a person's ability and experience are, if he has no sense of responsibility, it is difficult for a person to do his job well. 

Lesson 5

Teks 1

Hello, Miss !

What furniture do you want to buy ?

Would you like me to introduce you ?

Thank you, I want to buy a sofa.

What do you think of this sofa ?

It is on sale now,  it is a thousand yuan cheaper than usual.

The price is okay, but I don't know if the quality is guaranteed.

Don't worry, the quality is definitely not "discounted".

This kind of sofa is the most popular this year. There are many colors to choose from, you can take a look.

This blue one looks good, so let's take this one.

Teks 2

Our refrigerator is too old, and the store has sale right now.

Let's buy one by the way, we bought too many things today. Besides, more than five thousand have been spent at home this month.

So many ?

You can't remember it wrong, do you ?

That's right.

I cost more than two thousand just to buy a sofa last week.

But our refrigerator is too old, and the cooling effect is not very good. Let's buy a new one.

Okay, then. I don't have enough cash.

Use your credit card.

Teks 3

Teacher Li invited us to his house.

What gift should we bring for him ?

He likes wine very much,  so let's buy for him two bottles of grapes wine.

But there are so many kinds here, do you know which one is better ?

I think this is a good one. You see, the wine bottles are so artistic.

And there are often advertisements for it on TV,  I think it should taste good.

Advertising only introduces its advantages,  but not its disadvantages.

In reality, many things are not as good as the advertisements say,  so the advertisements cannot be completely trusted.

You are right.

Teks 4

It's certainly not good to buy clothes only because of the price,  but it's not necessarily right to think only about what looks good.

The standard for me to buy clothes is "buy only the right ones, not the expensive ones".

First, you are comfortable to wear;  second, the quality of the clothes should be good, and they should not be too expensive.

For me, it is not very important whether the clothes are fashionable or not.

Many older people like to buy cheap clothes at a discount, but they don't think much about whether those clothes are suitable for them.

This is something I can't understand,  because if it doesn't suit me,  even spending little money is also a waste.

Teks 5

Now online shopping has become more and more popular,  young people especially like to buy things online.

You can buy almost anything online, you can buy online books, clothes, bags, even furniture, and mobile phones too.

Online shopping can be loved by people for two main reasons :

First, there are a lot of things online, and it is cheaper than going to the store, which is the main reason for attracting people to buy.

Secondly, people can buy things they like online at any time, and sellers can send the things what you buy to your office or home, it is very convenient.

Lesson 6

Teks 1

I called you last night and no one answered it.

What are you busy with ?

Yesterday my wife asked me to accompany her to the supermarket to buy juice.

I forgot my phone at home.

It doesn't take long to buy such a small item.

We went into the mall for a while first.

As soon as we walked in, the salesperson enthusiastically introduced us to this and that, she biught a pair of pants, a shirt, and two pairs of sock, and then we went home happily.

When buying things, I only look at what I want to buy, and I like to watch and choose by myself, and didn't want to be disturbed by others.

Yes.

After I got home, I found out that I forgot to go to the supermarket to buy juice.

Teks 2

Are the tomatoes fresh ?

How to sell them ?

Seven yuan half kg.

Don't worry, you are guaranteed to 100% fresh.

Why are you so expensive !

I remember it was only 3.5 yuan half kg.

Today's price is twice of yesterday.

The one you asked is "green".

You get what you pay for.

Eating one or two of these fresh tomatoes every day is good for the skin.

Okay, then I'll buy a few and try them first.

Okay, let me give you tomatoes, 

One kg in total, 14 yuan.

Teks 3

Sir, all the suitcases in our shop are here.

What do you want ?

I want to buy a lighter one.

I take a look at this.

It is worth considering regardless of price or quality.

The quality is good.

How much is this ?

Now our mall happens to have a discount event, and it is 999 after the discount.

In addition, we are responsible for free repairs within one year.

Your service is good, and the price is also good.

Just buy this.

Teks 4

Customers and friends, in order to thank you for the support of everyone our bookstore held a "Gifts on buying books" activity today. If you purchase a book over 100 yuan, you will get a notebook, and if you spend 200 yuan, you will get a dictionary. In addition, some books have discounts, including 25 % off on novels, 20% on maps, and 40% off on exam books. If you purchase a book of 500 yuan or more, you can hold the free Membership card, 20% off for future book purchases. Today's birthday friends, all children can also get a small gift. Everyone is welcome to buy ! 

Teks 5

People often say " you get what you pay for", which means that the quality of things has a great relationship with the price. It can also be said "if it is cheap it's not good product; good products are not cheap." Generally, the more money you spend, the better things you buy. In fact, this is not always the case. Sometimes, good quality things are also cheaper. For example, Spring is coming, winter clothes will be discounted, the quality is good and very cheap, and you can buy it for a small amount of money. Once it comes to the festival, malls will also hold various activities and reduce the price. At this time, we can also buy cheap and good things. 

Lesson 7

Teks 1

Why your nose is bleeding ?

Wipe it with paper.

I'm not used to the climate in the north yet.

Maybe it's too dry.

It's not very cold today.

Why do you wear so much ?

Just because I didn't wear too much yesterday.

I caught a cold.

There are so many people who have caught colds recently.

Have you seen the doctor already ?

No, I just have a cough, a little headache, not serious, just will be better to drink more water.

It's cold and hot in spring, and it's especially easy to catch a cold.

At this time, you must pay more attention to keep warm.

In addition, it is best to open the windows and change the air frequently.

Teks 2

Is your cough better ?

What did the doctor say ?

Still the same, he told me not to smoke anymore.

Smoking is not good for your body at all.

I know too, but I think the action of smoking looks very handsome.

When you have a physical problem, it will be too late to regret.

In fact, my family has always opposed my smoke but I think it's nothing.

But recently I always cough, so I'm a little worried.

Smoking is not only bad for you, but also affects the heal of people around you.

For you and your family, stop smoking.

Teks 3

Recently, my eyes always dump. The doctor said it was because my eyes were to tired after watching the computer for a long time. Sitting in front of the computer for a long time and working makes your eyes tired easily.

It is best to take a break every hour and then start working again.

The doctor said the same.

He also told me to look far away especially the green plants.

Long time facing the computer is not only bad for the eyes, but also uncomfortable for the body.

Studies have found that if people sit still for more than 6 hours a day, it will affect their health.

Yes.

Those of us who sit in the office for a long time should pay attention that we should get up more and move around when we have time.

Okay, let's go for a walk in the nearby park after lunch.

Teks 4

Everyone wants to be healthy, so what is healthy ?

In the past, people thought that being healthy means not getting sick.

However, people now realize that health also refers to mental health, only if you are physically and mentally healthy, you are truly healthy.

There is a teacher who uses numbers to illustrate how important health is if health is 1, everything else is 0 after 1; if there is no 1, no matter how many 0s there are, it is useless.

Therefore, we must always pay attention to exercise, and don't wait for health problems to regret.

Teks 5

I heard a doctor say : "The best doctor is yourself, the best medicine is time, and the best exercise is walking."

I don't understand the first two items deeply, and I completely agree with the last one.

Walking is the simplest exercise method in life.

It can move the body and lose weight, and it will not be as hard as running.

After dinner, it is a very happy thing to go out for a walk with the whole family.

We need activities when our stomach is full, and all family members need to communicate after a busy day.

The husband and wife talk about a day's work can deepen their feelings, and when they hear their children talk about interesting things in school, all the worries of tge day are gone.
