By the way, my name is Wu Tianjiao, your online tutor for this course. Let’s work together and try to achieve as much as possible. I sincerely hope that you will be able to communicate your ideas freely at the end of this term. Before we start our lesson, I’d like to ask you several questions if you don’t mind. 1.

What regional variety shall we follow, British English or American English? To answer the questions mentioned above and some others, you are to reflect upon them first, since these questions are really important for learners. Hope they will be useful to you. I’d love to give you some tips, however, you can do better than I expect if you constantly practice and reflect upon your learning experience.
