师：Hello everyone, it's my great opportunity to work with you. Becoming imagined our lifetime here. So let's just have fun and relax yourselves. You can secure yourselves, okay? So as you can see, the topic of today's lesson is "Market Learning Systems", which is part of "Unit Life and Learning". Talking about learning, during the process of learning, we usually have problems, right? But it's not a big deal. As an active learner, we find problems and we deal with those problems, right? Everything is the same with each learner. So today, we are going to do a group project. First, we need to find our problems in learning. Now, first please have a group discussion with your groupmates about the problems you have in learning English. Then write down your problems on your worksheet, and then we will share. And here are some sentence patterns that may help you to find your problems in learning English. Now we have three minutes to do it. Remember, three minutes.
生：（开始小组讨论）
师：（时间到）Okay, I'm sorry. We don't have much time, so let's stop now. Let's share our problems, right? Which group would like to have a try? Come on. Who is the bravest? You want to have a try? Okay, you can use your worksheet.
生：Firstly, we have difficulty in citing. Sometimes we read the word books and try to recite the words, but the next day, we forget them again. Secondly, we often have problems in pronunciation. When we talk with somebody in English, it feels very strange because we can't pronounce correctly. Sometimes we are nervous and don't have confidence. Thirdly, when we read articles, we can understand maybe every word, but when it comes to the whole sentence, we are confused.
师：（鼓掌）Let's give a hand. Although you have something to add, like how about speaking? How about writing? How about listening? Let's see. What's your problem in learning English?
生：My biggest problem in learning English is the lack of vocabulary. Because of the lack of vocabulary, sometimes in a conversation, I can't express myself well. And I often make some basic mistakes.
师：Thank you. Let's see our answers. Very good. So I have listed some of the most common problems you would meet in learning English. Now, let's take a look. I can't pronounce words correctly and I can't remember words effectively. So what are they about? What do they share in common?
生：They're about words.
师：Yes, they are about words. How about this group? I can't express myself correctly and I can't understand long sentences. What are they about?
生：Grammar.
师：Very good, grammar. How about the third group? I'm not good at writing. I can't speak English fluently. What are they about?
生：They are about language skills.
师：Yes, they are about language skills. Okay, then the last group. I'm not familiar with western lifestyles. I don't know western cultures. What are they about?
生：Culture or knowledge.
师：Right. Now, don't worry about your problems in learning English. Next, we are going to listen to a learning program. English reporters will talk about your problems in learning English. No matter what your problems are, but importantly, there's a trick for you. The first time you listen, you need to try to get a general idea. Don't worry if you don't catch everything. Just focus on the important words. Now, let's start to listen.

So next, we're going to find out what Dr Smith's suggestions are on these three problems. Now, we are going to listen to the first part of the interview. And before listening, here's another tip for you. The second time you listen, listen carefully and try to write down the answers. If you cannot write down all the answers, try to use abbreviation. You know what abbreviation is, right? What is abbreviation?
生：A short form of word or phrases. For example, "China" could be abbreviated to "CN".
