　　H: we still got 3 contestants to go, but before that, let’s have a look at the scoreboard for the first 6 contestants’ scores in ranking.

　　H: welcome back and sitting besides me is contestant No.12 Zhang BO from He Bei. So now it’s up to your turn to select number.

　　C: No.2

　　H: so it seems you’ve written down everything you heard. Now please listen carefully to my 3 questions. Q1, you have to give me the answers by yourself. 6 points for that. What kind of competition is Beijing and I?

　　C: It’s a special competition specially designed for foreigners in China to show their talents in learning language, learning Chinese,

　　H: How would they show their talents?

　　C: they make speeches, just the same as the competition as we have today.

　　H: So that’s your answer to Q1?

　　Q2, a question that has 3 choices. What kind of students is Wei Xiaolan?

　　A: an American graduate student B: an American undergraduate student C: an American high school student

　　C: B

　　H: An American undergraduate student? Right?

　　C: Yes.

　　H: Scholar for this question. I’m sorry it’s wrong. So A is correct answer. Don’t worry, we have Q3: what’s the Aisin’s reason to join this competition?

　　C: the reason, one of the reasons, for participation of the competition is that, she wants to be a role model for her students. Use her participation as the propelling force to encourage her students to learn Chinese, no English.

　　H: Ok, is he correct? Let’s listen to our judges.

　　J: for the first question, what kind of competition is Beijing and I? You said “it’s a special competition designed for foreigners. You’ve got half of the answer, right? Because, you know, take this competition, for example, but it is actually speaking and writing competition. You didn’t mention either speaking or writing competition. We’ve decided to award you 5 points for this question. And for your last question, you said Aisin wants to be a role model to encourage her students to study English, you got absolutely right answer. So you got 6 points for that answer.

　　H: So for these 3 questions, contestant No.12 Zhang Bo totally got 10.5. Congratulations.

　　H: the next one is contestant No.11 Cheng Yusi from Sichuan. Now please select number first. We have 3 numbers left.

　　C: 5

　　H: Are you ready for 3 questions. Q1 is a multichoice. Why doesn’t Dashan have a lot of personal friends? A: He’s not an extraward. B: He’s too extraward. C: He’s a cross-talker performer.

　　C: So can I ask about what the word means and or you can explain the meaning?

　　H: No.

　　C: Because I don’t understand why he doesn’t have many friends, because he is quite personal and he is kind of personal. It depends on his personality.

　　H: So according to what you heard?

　　C: Can you repeat the question again, so I can have a guess?

　　H: So which is your choice? I have to be very tough, because I need to be fair. I will tell you later. Now you need to tell me which one is your choice?

　　C: B.

　　H: You guessed it?

　　C: Yes, you’re right.

　　H: I’m terrible sorry. This is the wrong answer, so the correct answer should be A. He’s not extraward. Ok now, let’s continue to the 2nd question. Why did Dashan make educational program lately? And 6 points for that.

　　C: First of all, because Dashan is quite famous all around China. He has already made other programs and lately he is doing this kind of the program, because he thinks he has responsibility, maybe from his point of view, like in the video, we’ll need something very nice, if you’re happy, when you meet something very sad, you think you have responsibility, this is something he can show to people. Purpose of his educational program, maybe, it is to give some advises or something like that.

　　H: Ok the last one, How does Dashan describe how he belongs here? And 6 points for that?

　　C: Because he had been living in China for many years and a lot of people know him. He thinks he is part of environment. He belongs here, for the people here and people love him, I think, he belongs here, because maybe he did a lot of things, he likes us, I think he’s part of environment.

　　H: Ok, let’s leave it to the judges for judgment.

　　J: for the 1st one, I’d like to add one thing about that. In English, when people use a big word, for you, you should listen very carefully directly after sometimes he gives you the explanation right after. He did that. He said “ he is intraward” that means, he is not a very extraward person. I’m a very personal person. So you caught it, but you did not look for the answer. So next time you will know right after big word, is probable the explanation. It’s often the case. Anyway that’s another subject. Ok the second one, why did Dashan make educational program lately? You had a lot of good answers, but the answer we’re looking for wasn’t among them. So we want to give you credit on what you did answer. You answered many things, “ he’s been here for a long time. When something is good and he is happy, he wants to take some responsibility. He wants to be more serious, all these things, he is popular, people love him. All this is true, but the answer we’re looking for is he said” he is still seen as a comedian and he wants to be seen something more than that comedian part. We want to give credit for the information you did give, you have credit for that question 3 points, ok?

　　And the last one is what you’ve talked about in the 2nd question. How does Dashan describe how he belongs here? The way you answered question, there is good. He feels happy and something like. He feels related to Chinese culture and history. You did mention some good points so we’re going to give you 2 points for the points you did mention. So again we’re going to give you credit on all you have given for the 2nd and 3rd questions, even though they’re not actually related to the answer we want. So all together you get 5 points.

　　H: so for all these 3 questions, totally contestant No.11 has got 5.

　　H: the last one is contestant No.4 Yu Li. Welcome back. Good luck. So we have only 2 numbers left. 4 or 8?

　　C: I’d like to choose No.8.

　　H: listening carefully to the question. Q1, also you should give answer to that one. 6 points. Why is teamwork necessary?

　　C: because they have different academic level and different cultural background. You have to have teamwork to make this plan to go.

　　H: Ok, Q2, and we have 3 choices for that? What does the teacher emphasize more?

　　A: the process B: the final product C: both

　　C: He just said “ I should put more emphasis on the process.” I’ll choose A, the process.

　　H: A is correct. 3 points. And question 3: what’s the great gift the teachers can give to students?

　　C: the great gift is not about what’s told, what they tell, what they have known to the students, but to give them a kind of method to find more than the teacher knows.

　　H: so let’s now listen to the judges.

　　J: for your answer to the 1st question, you said because teachers and students come from different cultures, so they need a teamwork spirit to make things to go. You did say, you did mention the plan, that’s the answer we’re looking for, because it’s necessary to reason why teamwork spirit is necessary, it is because they need to make the plan of teaching activities and goals. So you probably confuse go with goals. But basically your idea is correct, so we’d like to award you 4.5 points for the answer, ok? For the last question, what’s the great gift the teachers can give to students? Your answer is absolutely correct, so 6 points for that.

　　H: so 4.5 points for the 1st question, 3 points for the 2nd question and 6 for the 3rd one, all together, 13.5 points. Congratulations.

　　H: Good evening. Welcome back to the CCTV 4th Star of Outlook English talent competition. And now you're watching teenagers' final.

　　H: We just finished the 2nd round, listening, that is an elimination game. So after that round, only 6 of 9 contestants will stay with us for the 3rd round. Before we check the scoreboard, let's welcome all contestants back on the stage.

　　H: welcome back. So now we will see the scoreboard again and will check out who will be eliminated. We’ll divide you into 3 groups. The first group are contestant No.1,8,3, contestant No.1, do you know your rank now?

　　C: I don't know.

　　H: So any prediction?

　　C: Maybe the 4th or 5.

　　H: So you think you will survive. I don't have to put this question to contestant No.8. She's really taking the lead. Let's take a look at the scoreboard for their ranks from No.1,8, and 3.So who will survive the competition?

　　H: 1,8,3, all of them.

　　H: congratulations. The 2nd group, contestant No.6,9,10.

　　H: And here is the result of contestant No.6.

　　H: congratulations. So now we have 4. And that means in the last 3, No .12,11, and 4. Only two of you will stay with us. So now let's check out. And the two contestants are contestant No.12 and 4. Congratulations. So six of you will stay with us for the next round.

　　H: we also want to express our thanks to the other 3 contestants who have to leave us.

　　H: they are contestants No.9,10,11. Thank you very much.

　　Ok, now, let's kick off the 3rd round, role-play.

　　In this part, we will divide all the 6 contestants into 3 parts and for each part we have the same situation.

　　H: For the 1st group, the contestants will be contestant No.1 Zhou Yixue and contestant No.8 Li Laiying. Let's welcome 2 girls back onto the stage.

　　H: So we have the same situation for both of you. To finish this part, we've invited 2 of the judges onto the stage, Mr.Tom Wooldridge and Ms. Marijane Elliott. And for your part, Mr. Tom Wooldridge will help you to finish it. Before raising questions to you, contestant No.8, you will have to leave us for the moment. The situation for you is, you have 30 seconds to get prepared and then 2 minutes to finish your acting. You are a representative of a student environmental protection organization. You have to persuade a boss to give you some financial support for your research in the Antarctic. So you have 30-second discussion with Tom.

　　C: Ding-Dong,

　　T: Come in.

　　C: Good morning, Mr. Tom. I am a student from Peking University. We're organizing… It's very nice to meet you.

　　T: Nice to meet you too.

　　C: we're organizing a polar beer (bear) protecting program. So we want to protect polar beers (bears), but we're short of money, so would you please…?

　　T: I'm sorry. What's the polar beer, I mean, I like to drink beer. It's good, but polar beer, I don't understand.

　　C: it's not the beer you drink. It's huge animal. It's very acute. You know, it's every dangerous. So many people want to kill them. They want their fur. So if we did not protect, maybe, they will die out. Maybe our offspring will not know what polar beer (bears) is (are). We're lack of money. We're students, but we do want to do something to protect our beautiful earth, to protect our environment.

　　T: I understand that, but aren’t you afraid going over that the bear might eat you, you know, you are gonna over and they don’t want to protect you. They rock you and they kill you.

　　C: that's just the point. We need something to protect ourselves and also we need something to protect ourselves from being hurt by the beer (bear). So we need a lot of money. But you know what we're doing is really meaningful. It is quite significant.

　　T: Now, it sounds good. But first I will ask how much money are you looking for?

　　C: I’m looking for one million dollars.

　　T: how much?

　　C: one million dollars.

　　T: what?

　　C: You think it's too much? Ok, maybe we can think it about later. So what about 5 thousand dollars?

　　T: 5 thousand dollars.

　　C: That's not the harm to you, but it really means a lot to us. So please

　　T: you have good argument. Ok, take that.

　　C: thank you.

　　H: Ok, the 2nd one of this pair if contestant No.8 Li Laiying. Welcome back. So are you ready? Do you know what we have on the desk and chairs here?

　　C: No, not really.

　　H: not really? So find it out. You are a representative of a student environmental protection organization. You have to persuade a boss, and that's Tom, to give you some financial support for your research in Antarctic. And you have 30 seconds to have discussion with Tom and them you’ll have to use two minutes’ time limit to finish your performance, ok?

　　T: come in.

　　C: Excuse me, sir, but could you put your stuff down and listen to what I have to say to you? Did you see this banner? Environmental protection, right? Do you see? And on Antarctic, you know what are the two things that are really very important and known to everyone.

　　T: oh, you tell me.

　　C: oh, my god. Of course, penguins and ice.

　　T: those penguins on Antarctic?

　　C:Yes. Did you ever taken those lessons

　　T: No, just went straight to the boss position.

　　C: I guess that's why. Anyway I don't know if you like penguins, do you?

　　T: I’ve never seen a penguin.

　　C: Ok, a penguin looks like when you get just top of torpedo.

　　T: Sounds great.

　　C: So do you want to protect them?

　　T: Well, I guess, what you say are two things. Penguins, what the other thing you want to protect?

　　C: Ice. Like the stuff you put in your Coca-Cola when it is too hot.

　　T: I can ice at home. Why would I want to protect ice?

　　C: well, what happen if you don't have water for your ice? Or if water is contaminated and polluted, when you want fresh ice on the Antarctic.

　　T: I guess I would. Yes. I would, in fact, yet.

　　So how much money do you want from here?

　　C: money, well, those things, that might be a little high, but now let's sign a contract. Would you like to protect them?

　　T: I am not signing any contract until I know what I’m getting into.

　　C: well, you get to save those little acute animals full of blubber in stomach.

　　I guess everybody here will like you, right everybody?

　　T: but I’m worry about money. How much money do you want?

　　C: Not more than what you buy and use for a car.

　　T: What kind of car?

　　C: Maybe a Ford, a jeep.

　　T: Sounds good. Well, you gotta yourself money.

　　C: thanks.

　　H: Ok, please now score for these two contestants. First, score contestant No.1. The full score is ten points. Now would you please score contestant No.8?

　　So Dian, would you please make some comments on their performances?

　　J: Overall, for the two, two of you, the intensity for the No.1 and the forcedness for the No.8 are outstanding. Plus both of you demonstrated great listening comprehension. You understood everything Tom said and the questions he posed to you. You comprehend it.

　　H: Thank you.

　　H: and next we’ll invite the second group contestant No.3 Jin Yunan and contestant No.6 Yang Mao onto the stage. First, I’d like to tell you that in this part Marijane will help to finish it. and will start with contestant No.3. So contestant No.6, will see you in a moment, ok?

　　H: See, we gotta a table and two chairs. Again I would like you to have a guess what situation we have for you?

　　C3: My guess is (that) it is a secret agent meeting with his boss.

　　H: No way.

　　H: Let’s see what situation you got here. You have foreign friend who wants to learn Chinese here. And she finds Chinese is too hard for her and want to give it up. You try to persuade her to continue.

　　H: That’s Marijane. Welcome back, Marijane. So now you can have a 30-second discussion with Marijane. After that you will have to finish your performance within 2 minutes, ok?

　　H: Are you ready?

　　H: You can start now.

　　C3: So how are you going?

　　M: Ma-ma, Ma-ma. I just want to quit.

　　C3: are you sure?

　　M: Yes, I can’t do it. It’s too hard for me.

　　C3: But you came so far.

　　M: No. I really can’t do it. You know Chinese is just too hard for me. I quit.

　　C3: But what are the main points? It is really easy. Just like English.

　　M: it’s really? No, it is unlike English.

　　C3: But once you know the Han Yu Ping Yin, it is really easy.

　　M: Well, when I start to speak Chinese, you know, my Chinese teacher is not very nice. If it’s wrong, she says “Bu Dui”. If it’s right, she says “That’s Ok, but Dashan does better”

　　C: What a strict teacher. I strongly condemn her. But I still think you should keep on going.

　　M: Why? Please give me some reason.

　　C3: first, you’re working in China, right? China has entered the WTO. More foreigners will come. And then you will have to meet more Chinese. When you meet more Chinese, you need say fluent Chinese.

　　M: Can’t they just learning English?

　　C: But right now English is not the only in the international languages. Chinese will be international language too. So one day China will dominate the world. And everybody will have to learn to speak Chinese. Then you have to speak Chinese. Isn’t it a little bit better to have an early start?

　　M: Ni Shuo De Dui. I will do it.

　　C3: Thank you. All right. I’m sure one day you can speak fluent Chinese, I’m very sure.

　　M: I appreciate your encouragement. Ok, Ma-ma, Ma-ma, yes.

　　H: Now let’s welcome contestant No.6 Yang Mao.

　　Hi, Yang Mao, you see that Marijane is sitting here. And you will have discussion with her. So listen carefully to the situation you will have this time. Ok listen to me. You have a foreign friend who wants to learn Chinese here. That is Marijane. She wants to learn Chinese but finds it is too difficult to learn and wants to give it up. You should try to persuade her to continue. You got 30 minutes to discuss with Marijane and after that you gotta 2 minutes to finish.

　　C6: Hi, Marijane.

　　M: Hi.

　　C6: How are your these days?

　　M: Oh, I’m just so discouraged. You know I’m learning Chinese, but I’m just not making progress. I just want to quit.

　　C6: I think Chinese is really difficult to study, but you can have some ways to study. I think I will help you, so don’t have to give up it (give it up).

　　M: My first problem is tone. I can’t remember what tone goes where. It’s so hard for me.

　　C6: I think for example, when I learn English, the tones are always very difficult, because Chinese tones are very different from English tones. I think you can just practice more. I think that’s better for you to communicate more with the natives, because, you know, you are living in China. There are many people (who) live here, most of people speak Chinese. So you can talk to them and learn from them.

　　M: Why can’t I just do everything in English? Lots of people speak English here. I can just talk to them. How about that?

　　C: I beg your pardon.

　　M: Lots of people speaking English here in China. Why don’t I just to talk to them? Then I won’t have to bother.

　　C: But you know first you want to learn Chinese, right?

　　M: Yes, I did. But it’s too hard.

　　C: then because not every Chinese can speak English. Some of them couldn’t speak English. But when you have trouble and there isn’t anyone who can speak English around you, then you will be without help.

　　M: that’s true. So what should you say about my trouble?

　　C6: Maybe you can ask help from your friends, me, and I think I will help you.

　　M: Really?

　　C6: Yes.

　　M: Can I call you anytime?

　　C6: Yes.

　　M: Do you have Shou Ji?

　　C6: Yes. Of course I have one. You can call me at any time.

　　M: You really help me?

　　C6: Yes. Trust me.

　　M: Ok, I will keep going. All right.

　　H: Please score contestant No.3.

　　And next please score contestant No.6’s performance. Any comments, please?

　　H: Professor Huang, please?

　　H: First of all, both of you did good jobs, because both of you have succeeded in convincing and persuading Ms. Marijane to keep up with her Chinese. But individually, I think contestant No.3 like a really actor. Your performance is very dramatic. In terms of contestant No.6, your reasons are also very practical in learning Chinese. As we all know, many foreigners are now learning Chinese and the problem is not why they should learn Chinese but how to get best result in a short time. So practice is also very important. I think you’re very practical and try to be dramatic next time.

　　H: thank you.

　　H: Ok, the next two actors, I should say, are contestant No.12 and No.4. So welcome back, Zhang Bo and Yu Li.

　　H: welcome back.

　　H: What does that mean?

　　C: Cooperate.

　　H: No. You don’t have to cooperate. You have to cooperate with one of the judges.

　　C: we’re in the same boat. Yes. Of course, to wish the other one good luck.

　　C: Chinese think predestination. We're predestined to be so. So wish the other one good luck.

　　H: Of course. Ok, we have the same situation for both of you. So No.4 Yu Li, you have to leave us for a while. Ok now Zhang Bo listen carefully to your situation. You’re a volunteer in a nursing home. You try to make an old, grunting man happy. The old man is Tom.

　　H: Have you found where he is?

　　H: Welcome back, Tom.

　　H: Please help him

　　H: So now, Zhang Bo, you have 30 seconds to have a short discussion with Tom and 2 minutes to finish your performance, all right? Ok, let’s start.

　　C12: what’s wrong with you?

　　T: what?

　　C: what’s ailing you anyway?

　　T: I don’t understand.

　　C: I mean what’s the matter with you? You seem not very good.

　　T: Yes. A little down.

　　C: Oh, I would see, what’s ailing you, anyway?

　　T: what’s ailing me? Look at my teeth, my hair, both are, everything is falling apart. My foot doesn’t work. You’ll be sad too.
