Self-assessment
Hmewrk基础作业根据Eye cntact的思维导图提示，完成一段口头介绍，并将其录制成音频。拓展作业阅读文章“The Pwer f Cheering”，参考Eye cntact的思维导图，运用思维导图对其结构与内容进行梳理。
The Pwer f CheeringCheering is a way t shw supprt, jy and encuragement. When peple cheer, they shut ludly. At the same time, they usually clap r wave their hands in the air. Cheering creates a sense f excitement, and it’s a way t shw supprt during events. Peple usually cheer during sprts events r cncerts. Fr example, the crwd at a ftball match always cheers when their team scres a gal. Cheering nt nly encurages thers but als makes everyne feel part f smething bigger. It feels gd t cheer tgether. Hwever, cheering isn’t the same everywhere. In sme cuntries, peple cheer very ludly at sprts events and cncerts. In Asian cultures, hwever, peple usually cheer mre quietly, r they may simply applaud instead. When we visit ther cuntries, it is imprtant t understand this kind f cultural differences. As yu can see, cheering is mre than just making nise—it is a pwerful way t share jy, and it als brings peple tgether!
