2、l media home and abroad,and talk about why you tend to use some communication channels rather than others.Warm-upFacebook is a popular free social networking website that allows registered users to create profiles,upload photos and videos,send messages and keep in touch with friends,family and colle

3、agues.According to statistics from the Nielsen Group,Internet users within the United States spend more time on Facebook than any other website.Twitter is a free microblogging service that allows registered members to broadcast short posts called tweets.Twitter members can broadcast tweets and follo

4、w other users tweets by using multiple platforms and devices.Reference answersWarm-upWikipedia is a free,open content online encyclopedia created through the collaborative effort of a community of users known as Wikipedians.Anyone registered on the site can create an article for publication;registra

5、tion is not required to edit articles.Wikipedia was founded in January of 2001.LinkedIn is a social networking site designed specifically for the business community.The goal of the site is to allow registered members to establish and document networks of people they know and trust professionally.Ref

6、erence answersWarm-upBesides the above-mentioned communications channels,we have QQ,Microblog,WeChat,etc.The first one I used is QQ,because it first came into existence.The biggest advantage of it is that it enables me to send large attachments.I still use it now when I am in front of the computer.I

7、 also use Microblog,but I use it less often now,because not many people use it now.This implies ones choice of communications channels is affected by others.Its main function,I think,is like a diary,which is a record of what I do,and what I think.It is also focused on current social events.Reference

8、 answersWarm-upWhat I use the most often now is WeChat.It is a mobile text and voice messaging communication service developed by Tencent in China,first released in January 2011.It is the largest standalone messaging app by monthly active users.It is the newest app among the three,but probably has t

9、he most users now.WeChat provides text messaging,hold-to-talk voice messaging,broadcast(one-to-many)messaging,sharing of photographs and videos,and location sharing.Photographs may also be embellished with filters and captions,and a machine translation service is available.So I use it to send text m

10、essages,voices,photos both for fun and for work.Reference answersWarm-up2 Work in groups.Each of you introduces one of yourfavorite apps.You may refer to the following points.name function intended users popularity how to use it room for improvementsWarm-upI like to use many apps,such as Kuwo Music(

11、酷我音乐),Meituxiuxiu(美图秀秀),Dazhongdianping(大众点评),and Tushubiji(涂书笔记).Many others must know the former three.So I will introduce the last one,Tushubiji.The name is interesting,because it reads like Dushubiji,which means that one takes notes while reading.But the first word in this app is“tu”,which means

12、“daub”:to highlight,or include a certain area of the photo you have just taken of a book page.Its main function is to convert the printed words in a book into electronic version.It is intended for those who often read books,and who are relatively more high-tech such as teachers and students.It works

13、 very easily.First,you download it to your smartphone,and then log in it.But you have to register,or use your sina Microblogusername if you already have one.Reference answersWarm-upYou open the app,take a photo of the few lines of a book page that you want to record,and then daub the part you want w

14、ith your finger,press the tick()icon.Miraculously,you will see that the part of the photo you daubed just now has transformed into Chinese characters in a word the book is in Chinese.If the book is in English,you just need to press“English”,then the photo will be transformed into English words.Then

15、press“next step”and“finish”to save the note.You may edit,and share the note if you like.The drawback is that the area you may scan and record is relatively small,may be just half a page.But its better than none.It is a very new app,and I hope it will be improved as time goes on.Reference answersWarm

22、k3 According to the talk,mass media,apart from providing the news and entertainment,may also be educational in nature.Work in groups to share your experiences of being educated through mass media,such as radio and television,etc.ListeningandSpeakingThinking and speaking Television can be a powerful

23、entertainment and education tool for children.When I was a kid,my parents were busy at work,so I spent most of my leisure time in front of TV.Reports have indicated that many families in the US have their TV on an average of six hours per day and the average child in fact,views 1,500 hours of televi

24、sion per year compared to spending only 900 hours per year in school.In this case,the programming of TV proves even more important.I benefited much from TV programs.What is mass media?ListeningandSpeakingThinking and speakingI enjoyed watching programs such as CCTV news,quiz shows,cartoons,and sport

25、s programs.These programs are both educational and fun.They are a good source of knowledge and pleasure.For example,I especially like an annual CCTV program called“Touching the Heart of China”.From these heroic,devoted and unselfish people,I purified my soul,and learned to be a better person.From An

26、imal World,I got to know the taxonomies of animals such as amphibians,birds,fish,mammals,reptiles,and invertebrates.I also learned that wolves are highly adaptable animals and can live in a variety of habitats as long as sufficient prey is available.Wolves can benefit natural plant and animal commun

27、ities in a number of ways.Wolf predation can prevent theWhat is mass media?ListeningandSpeakingThinking and speakingoverpopulation of prey,thereby helping maintain the natural occurrence of some plant and other wildlife species in ecosystems.I even learned to be more environmental-friendly from the

28、public service advertisements,such as to save water and electricity.However,studies have shown that television,and media in general,can also have a very negative influence.Some studies indicate it can shorten our attention span,cause obesity,create fear,and increase aggressive and anti-social behavi

35、re happier and more engagedListening and understanding2 The talk mentions that some people think online social communication is largely self-centered,and that folks are busy with texting or spilling their innermost secrets,without ever relating to others concerns.Work in groups and have a discussion

36、 about your understanding of this topic.ListeningandSpeakingThinking and speakingSocial media users are happier and more engaged I agree with the statement.Online users may have no clue as to their relative status,and norms for interaction are not clear,so people tend to become more arrogant,self-ce

37、ntered and less inhibited.This will bring about hostile language and creates a toxic climate which harms the healthy growth of relation on the Internet.Since online communication is not face to face,the users may not know each other.They will thus become more selfish,rude and uncaring.They act as if

38、 they are the center of attention,and everybody should feed into their ego,and listen to what they say.They have no true empathy or respect for other people,and they use bitter and sarcastic language.When other people disagree,many will curse or use dirty language.ListeningandSpeakingThinking and sp

39、eakingSocial media users are happier and more engaged It is true that most people are busy with posting what they have eaten,where they have been to,what they have bought,etc.The social media have been reduced to a platform where narcissistic people show off.What they have posted cannot arouse gener

40、al publics interest.Their main focus is on themselves,instead of the common issues people are concerned with.The social media,as the name indicates,should have a higher aim,that is,it should focus on the social issues,and play a more active role in improving the society,instead of a place for those

41、with a big ego to brag about themselves.ListeningandSpeakingThinking and speakingSocial media users are happier and more engaged I dont agree with the statement.First we need to define what self-centered means in this context.My understanding is that it means people tend to focus on the things that

42、are related to themselves.It does not mean“selfish”,“narcissistic”,or“big ego”.If my understanding is right,there is nothing wrong with a bit beingself-centered.Our life is already full of all manner of stress;social media provides us with an opportunity or outlet to share our feelings or relieve ou

43、r pressure.Thus for some people,this sort of social media serves as a diary.They record how they feel,what they do,etc.with Microblog or WeChat.It is not the obligation of social media to take others concerns into consideration.If you do care about social events,you can veryListeningandSpeakingThink

44、ing and speakingSocial media users are happier and more engagedwell use this platform to show your concern and viewpoints.But if I am not interested,I am not obliged to do this.I have my own right to decide what to say and what to post if I am not hurting others.Ifyou are not interested in my posts,

45、you can simply ignore them.Why should I be labeled as“self-centered”in a negative sense?The fact that social media can be used for other civic and political activities does not mean it has to be like this.The main function of social media for an individual is to keep in touch with other people and v

46、oice out his or her own feelings or opinions.ListeningandSpeakingThinking and speakingSocial media users are happier and more engagedTopic ThreeThe era of“we-media”1 Listen to the talk and choose the best answer to the questions.ListeningandSpeakingThe era of“we-media”Listening and understanding1 Wh

47、y do some people believe that“we-media”may make traditional news outlets outdated?B.Because“we-media”can almost be accessed everywhere in the world.2 What is the main reason why mainstream media websites still draw hundreds of millions of visitors each month?A.Because they assign stories to professi

48、onal journalists.3 What is the strength of traditional media organizations?D.They can create a combined package of news.4 Why are BBC and CNN mentioned?C.To show that some media organizations have already tried to search for more channels.5 Why do some of the amateur bloggers give up neighborhood bl

49、ogs?B.Because they are too busy.2 Listen to the talk again and decide whether the statements are true or false.ListeningandSpeakingThe era of“we-media”Listening and understanding1 Social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter belong to“we-media”.2 It is impossible for traditional mass media and“

50、we-media”to coexist.3 Organized media looks to citizen journalists to drive traffic.4 Users can tag a video with YouTubes URL and upload it to the organization.5 Some media organizations pay professional journalists to run neighborhood blogs.TTTFF3 Work in pairs and discuss the strengths and problem

51、s of“we-media”.ListeningandSpeakingThinking and speakingThe era of“we-media”I do agree that the truthfulness of the post is a big problem.Because people do not know who the sender or poster is,and that person may forward something untrue or even tell outright lies to attract attention and drive traf

52、fic.Some posts take advantage of peoples sympathy and ask people to forward a message which is about“looking for a missing child”.But actually,the phone number of the contact person does not belong to the one who loses his/her child.There is even not such a thing that a child is missing.The brutal f

53、act is,if you dial that number,you either have to pay an exorbitantly high telephone fee or a swindle is waiting for you.3 Work in pairs and discuss the strengths and problems of“we-media”.ListeningandSpeakingThinking and speakingThe era of“we-media”But there are also some advantages to“we-media”.Fo

54、r example,from reading my friends posts on Microblog,I can quickly know what is happening in our university,neighborhood,and our city.For example,once my friends posted some photos when they were having a good time at the Food Festival in our university.I immediately contacted them,and joined them.T

62、o not only because of the high percentage presented in their research,but because of my own mentality and behavior.No,I dont think this will of any practical use.Admittedly,this girls invention is impressive.But I doubt its effectiveness even though their research shows as high as 93%kids change the

63、ir mind when they use ReThink.First,I have no idea how they got the figure of 93%.If this figure was obtained through questionnaire,it is questionable,since people do not always tell the truth while completing a questionnaire.Second,people will eventually ignore this alert.When they first use it,the

64、y may pay attention to it.But as they get used to it,they will simply ignore it.3 Discuss in groups the questions:2 Will you try this software?Why or why not?Thinking and speakingViewingandSpeaking Cyberbullying I definitely will try this,and believe it can help me,because I am an impulsive person.I

65、 always say and do things without second thought,and just because of this I often offend others unintentionally.Now somesoftwares have been upgraded and added some chic functions.I really appreciate the function of the email service of Netease which allows one 30 seconds to cancel the sending of an

66、email in case one sends it to thewrong person or one wants to reconsider the content.This software,ReThink,has a similar function,that is,alert you and allow you time to cool off and reword what you want to say,so as not to hurt others.No,I dont think I will try this software because its content filtering technology may not work well,thus causing me trouble even when I post something appropriate.This will definitely waste my time.3 Discuss in groups the questions:3 Do you have other suggestions
