生：What kinds of music do they play?
师：Nice. What else do you want to know?

In these two minutes, read the following paragraphs and match the keywords with each paragraph.

师：Time's up. Can you finish it? Sona, you're so amazing. Who wants to share?
生：Paragraph 2 is about their achievements and influence.
师：Yes, paragraph 2 talks about their achievements and influence.
生：Paragraph 3 tells about their music styles and origin.
师：Very nice, origin and their music style.
生：Paragraph 4 is mainly about their training backgrounds.
师：Yeah, training background. Good.
生：The fifth paragraph is about their appeal.
师：Good.
生：The last paragraph is about the conclusion.
师：Thank you very much. I agree with you. Here's a problem. Do you know “appeal”? I think it might be difficult for you. “Appeal” can be used as a verb or a noun. For example, “The beauty of Xiamen appeals many people.” That means the beauty of Xiamen charms or attracts a lot of people. It can also be used as a noun, such as “Xiamen has popular appeal.” That means Xiamen appeals to a lot of people. In Chinese, how do we say “appeal”?

During this time, you'll read the passage paragraph by paragraph. If you meet any language problems, don't hesitate to ask me. Just raise your hands, and I'll come to you. Let's begin with paragraph 2. Read and answer which countries or regions the author mentioned and why.

师：Wow, very nice. Thank you. First question, Angel.
生：Asia, America, and Japan.
师：Thank you. Sit down, please. The author mentioned three places: Japan, America, and Asia, from the east to the west. Why did he mention them?
生：To show the influence of this band.
师：Very nice. Thank you. This paragraph talks about their achievements and influence. So, the author mentions these places to prove their broad or outstanding achievements and influence. Now, a slightly more difficult question. Why can the band appeal to people both in the west and in the east?
生：In the 2nd paragraph, as they built a musical bridge between east and west.
师：Wonderful. Sit down, please. Because they build a musical bridge between the east and the west. Now, let's move on to paragraph 3. Read and fill in the blanks.
