What fd/snack frm which area/ethnic grup will yu bring?Hw is the fd prepared and what is it made f?Hw is this fd special?
Cultural ntesPtluck dinners are cmmn in the United States, especially fr large infrmal parties r scial gatherings. Yu shuld always bring enugh fd t feed all the peple in yur grup, plus fd fr ne r tw extra peple. Fr example, if yu are cming t a ptluck party with yur mther and father, yu shuld bring enugh fd fr fur r five peple (yu, yur mther, yur father and ne r tw extra peple). It is cnsidered inapprpriate t bring stre-bught r restaurant fd — yu shuld try t bring smething yu made yurself, even if it is smething quite simple, like a salad. At the ptluck dinner, yu d nt have t eat the fd yu brught — yu can eat anyne’s fd.

Learn pauses.
1. D yu think pauses are useful? And why?2. When d we use pauses?
1. Pauses in speaking are useful because they give the speaker time t gather his r her thughts, and they give the listener a chance t hear, understand, think abut, r imagine what is being said.2. Pauses shuld be nrmally used:When there wuld nrmally be punctuatin, such as cmmas r perids, in a written text. At the end f each lng unit f meaning, fr example, lng nun phrases r adjective clauses. (sense grup)Fr transitins, when the speaker is intrducing anther idea.Fr emphasis. Pausing befre and after the mst imprtant wrds highlights and draws the listener’s attentin t them.
Read the fllwing passages, think abut tw questins and try t mark the pauses.
1. What is this text abut?2. What did yu learn abut Native Americans frm the text?
N ne really knws exactly | when the first peple arrived | in what we nw knw as Califrnia. || It is likely that Native Americans mved t Califrnia at least fifteen thusand years ag. Scientists believe that these settlers crssed the Bering Strait by a land bridge which existed in prehistric times. In the 16th century, the native peple suffered greatly after the arrival f the Eurpeans. Thusands f them were killed r frced int slavery. In additin, many died frm the diseases brught by the Eurpeans. Hwever, sme survived these terrible times, and tday there are mre Native Americans living in Califrnia than in any ther state f America.
Listen t the passage, and check yur pauses.
