Listen for a detail
What information is requested?
Show script, meaning, and explanation
您好！我已经收到申请表，但还不确定提交方式。请问可以通过邮件提交吗？
Hello. I have received the form but am unsure how to submit it. May I submit by email?
可以通过邮件提交吗 asks about the submission method.
If you use the script, this becomes supported reading. Close the script and replay the recording when you are ready.
Read a different account
同学给朋友发消息：“报名周五截止，你别忘了。”给活动负责人写邮件时，他改成：“您好！请问报名是否于本周五截止？如果方便，麻烦您发给我申请表。谢谢。”两条消息都围绕报名，但对象和目的不同。
Show English meaning
To a friend, a student reminds them that registration closes Friday. To the organiser, the student politely asks whether Friday is the deadline and requests an application form. Audience and purpose differ.
Which detail is a question rather than an established fact in the email?
Show the answer and why
The deadline is this Friday — 是否……截止 asks to confirm Friday; it is not yet confirmed by the organiser.
Speak with a new detail
Ask an organiser about a deadline and submission method. Then explain the answer informally to a friend.
Try without reading. Work with a partner or make a private recording and listen back. Check the message and the response to your partner; pronunciation needs actual speech.

- Identify the purpose.
- Ask specific questions.
- Use respectful language suited to the recipient.
Your writing is not uploaded or automatically graded. Several responses may fit the task.
Remember for next time
A formal-sounding sentence is not automatically clearer or more correct. Do not claim a deadline is confirmed when you have only asked about it.
Tomorrow, recall two words and try the speaking task with a new detail. A few days later, revisit the listening without its script.
Teacher and partner guidance
Model the goal, then let the learner attempt it. Check understanding of the spoken passage with the script hidden. Use the writing checklist to discuss meaning and structure; use actual speech to observe intelligibility and interaction. These public tasks are formative and must not be reused as unseen tests.
