Part 1. Read aloud the part between the stars and
then answer the questions the examiner asks you.
This library is an English language teaching and learning
library. Unfortunately our resources are limited and so
not everybody can join. Teachers of English, university
students, and professionals who are in the management fields
can join the library.
*You must fill in a library application form and put
it in the box on the librarian’s desk. Because of the big
number of applications we receive each week, you must wait
one week. Please bring your student or work card to pick
up your library cards. Library application forms, which
are not picked up within 2 months, will be discarded and
you will have to reapply.*
You may borrow one video at a time. The video must be
returned in one week. If you cannot return it on time, please
call, otherwise your video library card will be cancelled.
You may borrow 3 items at one time, i.e. 3 books or 3 cassettes.
Items must be returned within one month. You can telephone
the library to renew items for another month.
Part 2. Answer the following questions.
1. Why can’t the library issue library cards to everyone
who applies?
2. What will the library do if a reader fails to renew
the video when it is due?
3. For how long can a reader keep the book before he
renews it?
4. Summarize briefly how to get the library card.
5. Do you make use of the library at all? How do you
make use of it for your studies?
Part 3. Complete a role-play task with your partner.
The conversations should last 3-4 minutes.
Situation: One of you acts as David, a foreign student
who has just come to China, and one of you acts as his classmate
Zhang Li, who is being invited by David to dinner at a restaurant.
David: You ask Zhang Li whether she is free on Saturday
evening and say that you want to invite her to dinner, for
she has given you some help during these first three weeks
in China. If she accepts your invitation, you may ask further
what restaurant she recommends, what food she would like
to have, etc.
Zhang Li: You feel glad to accept David’s invitation,
for you find him to be very energetic and open-minded. But
at the same time you are a little bit nervous, for this
is your first time to be invited to dine out with a foreigner.
Anyway, after negotiation on the due date and time, you
accept the invitation. Since David is a newcomer, he may
ask you something about Chinese restaurants. He may even
ask you to recommend one.
