Part A 看圖辨義
1. 公共場所－休閒活動
學習重點
慢跑（jogging）是許多人喜愛的休閒活動，可以保持健康，鍛練體力；慢跑時通常穿著運動鞋（running shoes）、休閒服（casual wear），有些人還喜歡戴耳機（earphones）聽著音樂慢跑。
情境介紹及導引
David and Emily exercise regularly. They often jog on the weekends. Whenever they run, they wear shorts or warm-up suits and put on running shoes to protect their feet. Sometimes Emily wears earphones and listens to music while running. If you go to the park this weekend, you’ll probably see them jogging together.

句法：描述人物進行中的動作：人 ＋ is / are ＋ V-ing。
c. Tips for Listening

Part B 對答
1. 圖書館情境
學習重點
對學生而言，圖書館的主要功能不外乎借閱書籍（check out books）和複習課業（review schoolwork），例如兩位學生為了即將到來的暑期，上圖書館選擇要閱讀的書籍，而引發了以下的對答。
情境介紹及導引
Tim and Lisa are in the library discussing their reading list for the upcoming summer vacation. Tim is interested in science fiction while Lisa wants to read more vampire novels. Tim picks up a classic novel by a famous American writer.
範例
（ ）Haven’t you read that book?
a ) No, it’s not ready.
b ) Four dollars and fifty cents
c ) Yes, but I am reading it again.
d ) Yes, I like science fiction novels.
說明
a. Information Focus
以上對答中女士提問的目的是「是否有看過那本書」，正確的回應方式是告訴對方有看過那本書，並想再讀一遍“ Yes, but I am reading it again.”。
b. Language Skills
其他字彙：upcoming（即將來臨的）、science fiction（科幻小說）、vampire（吸血鬼）、novel（小說）、classic（古典的）。
句法：Have 開頭的問句：Have / Has ＋ S ＋ V-ed；問句的重點在V-ed 所表示的動作是否「完成」。
c. Tips for Listening
本題屬於 yes / no question，通常以 yes / no 來回應問題。
選項 a ) 與問題無關，其中 ready 與問題中的 read 發音相似，混淆聽者判斷；
選項 b ) 是回應有關價格多少的問題（如How much is the book?）；
