Gao fan, Susan and John are on holiday. They are stay¬ing in a hotel in Manhattan, which is an island between two rivers in the centre of New fork. Listen to the three friends discussing which art galleries!to visit.

GAO YAN: What do you want to do tomorrow?
JOHN: What about visiting some art galleries?
GAO Y AN: That's a good idea, John.
SUSAN: But it says in the guide book that there are more than sixty galleries in Manhat¬tan.
JOHN: Well, let's choose just a few.
SUSAN: Even a few galleries would take more than one day.
JOHN: OK. Let's spend two days visiting gal¬leries.
GAO Y AN: OK, fine.
SUSAN: Mmm. Alright.
JOHN: So, Gao Yan, which galleries would you prefer?
GAOYAN: I'd like to go to the Metropolitan!Museum. It's got art from all over the world. There's even a section on Chinese art. I'd like to see that.
¬SUSAN: It's a very big museum. I'd prefer some¬thing smaller to start with.
JOHN: Well, what do you suggest?
SUSAN: Well, the Frick Collection is quite small, and it has a beautiful garden. Perhaps we could go to the Metropolitan Museum after that.
GAO YAN: And we could go to the Museum of Mod¬em Art the next day.
SUSAN: Oh no. It's too big and crowded. And it's expensive.
JOHN: If you want to see contemporary art, the Whitney might be better, anyway.
SUSAN: Modern art! Do we have to? I'm not very fond of that stuff. A monkey could have painted better pictures than some of those paintings.
JOHN: Susan, you don't want to visit art galler¬ies, do you? Perhaps you'd rather do something else?
SUSAN: No, no. I'd like to see some art, just not too much and not too modern.
GAOYAN: Look, what about this? Tomorrow we could go to the Frick in the morning and the Metropolitan in the afternoon. The Metropolitan stays open until 8:45 on Fri¬day evenings. If you've had enough by dinner time, Susan, you could go back to the hotel and I could stay at the museum.
SUSAN: Yeah, that's a good plan.
JOHN: Mmm, but I'd also like to go to the Guggenheim.
GAOYAN: That's OK. We could do that on Saturday. We could have a quick look in the Whitney I first and then go on to the Guggenheim. I They're quite close together. The Guggenheim stays open till late on Saturdays so we'd have plenty of time.
JORN: That's an excellent plan.
SUSAN: Yeah, OK. I agree (said grudgingly).

Answers:
1 1 Metropolitan Museum of Art

Sample writing: p8
Dear Committee members,

I wish to make a suggestion about the kind of art work that should go into our new gallery. As I have carefully researched the subject and have had many discussions with residents in our district, I believe my suggestion will be popular with most people.
I have discovered that we have many fine artists in our district. We have many painters, both modem and traditional, some sculptors and a few excellent potters. We also have a group of people who meet regularly to practise traditional folk art. At present, none of these groups have a place to display their work. The gallery would provide such a place and would help people in the district to learn more about our artists.
I believe a gallery of local art and craft would en¬courage the artists and would also make others proud of our local talent. I do hope you will consider my sug¬gestion.

Yours faithfully,

Tina Francis

Mr Hang, the art teacher is leaving the school. Steve Lee, Wang Pei and Xiao Wei have decided to get him a going-away present. Listen to them talking about what to get him.
STEVE: Where's Xiao Wei? She ought to be here by now.
WANG: There she is, just coming in the door.
XIAO: Hi Steve, Wang Pei. Sorry I'm late.
WANG: Never mind, you're here now. Look, we've picked out these four things. So now we just have to choose between them.
STEVE: I like the vase best of all. Do you think he'd like that?
XIAO: Yes, I'm sure he would, Steve. It's beautiful. But look at the price! It's too expensive. If we had more money it would be the perfect gift.
 WANG: Yeah, I suppose so. Well, what about the paints and brushes?
 XIAO: Don't you think he'd prefer to choose his own paints and brushes? .
WANG: You're probably right. So that leaves just the wall hanging and the art book.
 STEVE: We should've talked to his wife before we came shopping. If we had, we would have a
 better idea about what he likes.
 XIAO: Well, we didn't, so we'll just have to do the best we can.
 WANG: I think I'd rather get him the book. Everyone likes books.
 XIAO: Yes, but what if he's already got it? He's prob¬ably got lots of art books.
 WANG: If he's already got this one, he can change it for another one. What do you think Steve?
 STEVE: This is too hard. I wish we knew more about Mr Hang. He might hate what we get him.
 XIAO: No, he wouldn't. He'd like anything his stu¬dents giwe him.
G: Do    Wang:  Do you remember those wall hangings he talked about in class? He said he loved that kind of art. I think if he were here, he'd choose the wall hanging.
XIAO: OK, so what's it to be? Which would he pre¬fer -- the wall hanging or the book?
(fade with them saying He'd prefer..., I think... I wish...)

Answers keys:
1    1 vase     2 paints and brushes    3 book 4 wall hanging
2    Steve Lee = 4 times              Wang Pei = 7 times        Xiao Wei = 7 times
3    1 Xiao Wei.        2 It was too expensive.
 3 Mrs Hang would probably have known what to get Mr Hang.
 4 At first he liked the book but later he thought the wall hanging would be best.
5.  (Suggested answer) I think they will probably get the wall hanging because the others seem to re¬spect Wang Pei's opinion. Also, they know Mr Hang likes that type of wall hanging.

Listening Task   p44
 LISTENING TEXT

Good morning class. Today I'd like to show you some of my favourite paintings and pottery by Chinese art¬ists.
You may not know that Chinese artists have been creating art for over 7,000 years. In this picttre you can see a piece of painted pottery that was made be¬tween 5,000 and 3,000 BC.
When Buddhism came to China in the first century AD, architecture, sculpture and painting began to have a religious theme. This cave painting is from the Caves of the Thousand Buddhas near Dunhuang, Gansu. As you can see, artists at this time had developed a very organized system of drawing, which focused on the use of brush strokes.
By the time of the Tang Dynasty, from about 960 to 1279AD, the traditional style of painting we recognize today was well developed. Humans, animals and scenes of palace life were popular for painting at this time, as you can see in this picture painted about 650 AD by Yan Liben.
During the Yuan Dynasty, human figures and pic¬tures of still life became popular. This painting by Zhao Mengfu is typical of that period. As you can see, these artists did not try to paint nature realistically. Instead, they changed the real scenery to stress one part of the scenery. They did this to show their feelings- thoughts and hopes in their paintings.
Even today, Chinese artists continue the traditions of old Chinese artists. However, many artists also ex¬periment with Western techniques and styles in their work. You can see the western influence in these two modern paintings. This one was painted by Lin Fengmian in 1974, while this abstract painting by Zhong Ling was done in the 1980s.
I'm afraid that's all I have time to talk about today. But if you're interested, I can give you more informa¬tion after class and!show you many examples of Chi¬nese art from ancient to modem times. Thank you for listening to my talk.

Speaking Task:   p46
Explanation of brainstorming
Brainstorming is a method for freeing the imagina¬tion so that it can produce more creative solutions to problems.
In the first stage (task 1 in the Workbook), the group does not confine itself to practical solutions. The idea is that creative solutions often develop from seem¬ingly outrageous ones and that it is important not to limit oneself to sensible ideas too early in the think¬ing process. Explain to students that however crazy an idea is, they are to write it down without making a judgement about it.
In the second stage of brainstorming, participants examine each solution and cross out those that are impractical (task 2 in the workbook).
The third stage involves examining the remaining solutions and deciding which are the best (stage 3 in the workbook).

Writing Task:  p46
I Revise the organization of the letter on SB page 45. That is: address of sender, address of recipient, date, salutation (Dear...), opening paragraph that explains purpose of letter, details of request, summary, polite ending.
2 Ask students to write down in note form the details of the improvement they have chosen. They may choose the improvements their group decided upon, an improvement another group suggested or a com¬pletely new idea.

3 Read through the step-by-step instructions in the workbook and give students time to complete the task.
