with the English-speaking people face to face. However, when it comes to business writing, she is not
sure about the grammar and the form.
2. Mr. Lin taught himself English. Three months ago, when he was required to work as a sales
representative in Britain, he had trouble in communicating with his English customers. The problem is
with his pronunciation and intonation (语调). He wants to find some websites offering spoken English
teaching with correct pronunciation and ideal sound effects.
3. Ms. Wilson is now teaching English in China. She has found that the major problem with her
students’ reading comprehension lies with their limited vocabulary. However, memorizing a list of 10-20
new words every day is a boring task for the students. She wants to find some games from the internet,
so that her students may have interest in learning and using the words.
4. Zhang Hui is not interested in reciting English texts. He says it is boring. He is more interested in
practicing his newly learned English expressions in classroom activities. But when he is at home on
holiday, he has no one to talk to in English. His mother suggests him looking for interactive websites
from the Internet.
5. Chen Yuan is going for his undergraduate study in America. His friend has rented a room for him
from an old American couple. This is his first time to go abroad and stay with the natives. To get along
well with them, Zhang Ming is eager to learn English idioms and everyday topics. So, he searches the
Internet for some useful websites.
