Clues:

●Adopting a right attitude

●Setting a goal for one’s study. e.g. learn five words a day.

●Setting up a pattern of study. e.g. practice pronunciation for 15 minutes a day. Part 1 Communicative Activities

1) Conversation 1

1. Introduce the context of the conversation: (new student, department service desk, new school year, etc).

2. Have the Ss imagine how people break ice when meeting for the first time at a service desk.

3. Read the conversation, and have Ss find the sentences for greetings and responses, have them discuss the patterns of structures; T demonstrates proper ways of saying these functional structures.

4. Have Ss work in pair to practice the role play; T may need to explain the vocabulary, or structures for the role-play.

5. Walk around the classroom to give support/ recast/ corrective feedback to the students during the pair work.

6. Have Ss demonstrate their conversation to the class and have Ss comment on the performance in content, language structures, pronunciation, body language such as eye contact and other conversational characteristics.

Language points:

May I ...: A polite form for asking if someone needs help; common responses: Yes, I’d like to...; No, thanks, I’m being helped...

I’d like to...: a polite expression for expressing one’s intention.

2) Conversation 2

1. Have Ss read the conversation individually and have them role-play it in class.

2. Get Ss to pay attention to the attitudes, moods and emotions in this conversation. Their role-play should reflect the mood by using suitable intonation and rhythm of speaking.

3. Have Ss discuss the questions after the role-play.

Suggested points for discussion

1. Linda was very enthusiastic about meeting Jack. She probably spoke with a high pitched tone in the first place. And then she immediately introduced her name and checked Jack’s name. This means that she was eager to get acquainted with Jack.

2. Jack was also very polite and showed enthusiasm in return, such as Where are you from?

3. She would sound abrupt if she went straightforward to check Jack’s name without first introducing herself.

4. Jack was good at socialization because he finished the conversation nicely by explaining why he had to hurry off, and also suggested talking to Linda in the future.

3) Listening 1

1. Have Ss read introductory information, and imagine the situation in which the conversation will take place. T may jog their imagination by asking 3 pre-listening questions.

2. Play the recording two or three times followed by questions and discussions. Encourage Ss to produce the sentences or phrases they heard in the conversation. Highlight the sentence well, the train will be …/ It’s been nice talking to you. People often say it’s been nice talking to you when they want to finish the conversation.

Other possible expressions for bidding farewells for this situation:

●Have a safe trip home!

●Have a happy journey!

●Have a happy landing! (To someone who is going to take a flight)

4) Listening 2

1. Have Ss discuss what would the teacher say in a speech at a party?

2. Play the recording two or three times and then have Ss discuss the questions.

3. Explain why the teacher’s speech was very effective: The speech contains 5 moves in discourse structure: (a) a wonderful surprise…(b) sad to say goodbye…(c) six years together…(d) felt lucky to have worked with them… (e) will miss them in the new place…

4. Have Ss say what they said to their high school teachers and friends when they left for the college. Were their speeches effective? Comment on their discourse moves.

Notes:

1. Discourse analysis is a very important aspect of training communicative abilities of the language learners. Teachers can introduce the concept of moves (steps in non-technical term) for discourse analysis and genre analysis. A move embodies the purpose of the speaker/writer for the communicative effects. It is often closely related

to the syntactic structures of a particular sentence and their position in a discourse. Teachers need to discuss three things at the same time: the function of the sentence, its syntactic structure, and its position in the discourse. In other words, teachers need to explain what it means by best sentence used in the best place for an appropriate purpose.

2. to put my feelings to words: to express my feelings in words

3. so many of you would come here...: would indicates a previous assumption or wish that there would be so many people to come to her farewell party.

5)What are they for?

b: Let’s have lunch sometime.: it is not a real invitation because the speaker did not mention a specific location or time for the lunch meeting. It’s just a polite form of friendly small talk usually used at the time two people are about to finish the conversation.

c: How are you getting on?: a greeting often used among friends or acquaintances e: Fancy meeting you here! : a greeting used in a chance encounter, spoken in a high pitch that reflects excitement and high spirits.

Part 2 Reading and Language Activities

1) Pre-reading Task: Discuss the following questions

1. Would you like to take shoe-shining as your job? Why and why not?

Shameful; be looked down upon; with a low social status; cannot earn big money, etc.

2.Should children get paid for what they have done for their families? Why and why

not?

3. In order to get a job what qualities should one need?

Intelligence; ability; loyalty; devotion; creativity; willingness to work hard;

This passage tells a story of a six-year-old boy who started his first job in an eatery run by his parents. He was to shine the diners' shoes. When he grew up, he was

a captain in the Army. However, when he came home full of pride, his parents regarded him as a member of the family restaurant other than an officer. This teaches us that loyalty to a team comes first. It doesn't matter whether that team is involved in

必修1 第一单元 Reading 阅读 ANNE’S BEST FRIEND Do you want a friend whom you could tell everything to, like your deepest feelings and thoughts? Or are you afraid that your friend would laugh at you, or would not understand what you are going through? Anne Frank wanted the first kind, so she made her diary her best friend. Anne lived in Amsterdam in the Netherlands during World War II. Her family was Jewish so the had to hide or they would be caught by the German Nazis. She and her family hide away for two years before they were discovered. During that time the only true friend was her diary. She said, “I don’t want to set down a series of facts in a diary as most people do, but I want this diary itself to be my friend, and I shall call my friend Kitty.” Now r ead how she felt after being in the hiding place since July 1942. Thursday 15, June, 1944 Dear kitty, I wonder if it’s because I haven’t been able to be outdoors for so long that I’ve grown so crazy about everything to do with nature. I can well remember that there was a time when a deep blue sky, the song of the birds, moonlight and flowers could never have kept me spellbound. That’s changed since I was here.…For example, when it was so warm, I stayed awake on purpose until half past eleven one evening in order to have a good look at the moon for once by myself. But as the moon gave far too much light, I didn’t dare open a window. Another time some months ago, I happened to be upstairs one evening when the window was open. I didn’t go downstairs until the window had to be shut. The dark, rainy evening, the wind, the thundering clouds held me entirely in their power; it was the first time in a year and a half that I’d seen the night face to face… …Sadly…I am only able to look at nature through dirty curtains hanging before very dusty windows. It’s no pleasure looking through these any longer because nature is one thing that really must be experienced. Yours, Anne Using Language 语言运用 Reading and listening 读与听 1 Read the letter that Lisa wrote to Miss Wang of Radio for Teenagers and predict what Miss Wang will say.

外研版英语必修三课文原文

Great European Cities PARIS Paris is the capital and largest city of France, situated on River Seine. It is one of the most beautiful cities in the world and is visited by more than eight million tourists every year. The most popular place for tourists is the Eiffel Tower, the famous symbol of Paris. One of the world’s largest art galleries, the Louvre, is also located in Paris. The city is also located in Paris. The city is also famous for its restaurants, cafes and theatres. About two-thirds of France’s artists and writers live in Paris. BARCELONA Barcelona is the second largest city of Spain and is situated on the northeast coast, about five hundred kilometres east of the Spanish capital, Madrid. One of Barcelona’s most famous landmarks is the Church of Sagrada Familia, which was designed by an architect called Antonio Gaudi. Gaudi worked on the project from 1882 until his death in 1926. The church hasn’t been finished yet! FLORENCE Florence is an Italian city which became famous because of the Renaissance, a great artistic movement which began in the 1300s and lasted for three hundred ears. During the Renaissance, some of the greatest painters of all time lived and worked in Florence. Many of Florence’s most beautiful paintings and sculptures were produced by great artists such as Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo. Florence is visited each year by about a million tourists who come to see the art galleries, churches and museums. The Uffizi Palace is the most famous art gallery in the city. ATHENS Athens, the capital of Greece, is known as the birthplace of western civilization. Two thousand four hundred years ago, it was the world’s most powerful city. Buildings such as the Parthenon on the Acropolis Hill were built during this period. Greece’s best writers lived in ancient Athens. Their work has influenced other writers ever since. The Human Development Report In the year 2000, 147 world leaders agreed to work together to reduce poverty by 2015 or earlier. From this agreement came the Human Development Report. One of the most important sections of this report is the Human Development Index. This examines the achievements of 175 countries. The Index measures a country’s achievements in three ways: life expectancy (how long people usually live), education and income. The index has some surprises. Norway is at the top of the list, while the US is at number 7. The other top five countries are: Iceland(2), Sweden(3), Australia(4), the Netherlands(5). The UK is in the thirteenth position, while China is in the middle of the list. The bottom ten countries are all African countries, with Sierra Leone(in West Africa) at the bottom of the list. The report describes eight Development Goals. The most important goals are to: Reduce poverty and hunger; Make sure that all children have education up to the age of 11; Fight AIDS and other diseases; Improve the environment of poor people, e.g. make sure they have safe drinking water; Encourage developed countries to give more help to other countries. The 2003 Human Development Report gives examples of successful development. For example, in nine years, China increased life expectancy by 13 years. In the last ten years in China, 150 million people moved out of poverty. However, the challenges are still great. Every day 799 million people in developing countries are hungry. Over half of these are in South Asia or Africa. Although more than 80% of children in developing countries go to primary school, about 115 million children are not being educated. More than 1 billion people in developing countries do not drink safe water. However, in other regions of the world, e.g. Eastern Europe, water is now mostly safe to drink.

高一英语人教版必修三-全册课文原文 Unit 1 Festivals around the world FESTIVALS AND CELEBRATIONS Festivals and celebrations of all kinds have been held everywhere since ancient times. Most ancient festivals would celebrate the end of cold weather, planting in spring and harvest in autumn. Sometimes celebrations would be held after hunters had caught animals. At that time people would starve if food was difficult to find, especially during the cold winter months. Today’s festivals have many origins, some religious, some seasonal, and some for special people or events. Festivals of the dead Some festivals are held to honour the dead or to satisfy the ancestors, who might return either to help or to do harm. For the Japanese festival Obon, people should go to clean graves and light incense in memory of their ancestors. They also light lamps and play music because they think that will lead the ancestors back to earth. In

八大高级翻译院校

全球最强的八大高翻院校来源：卢瑞的日志 2、美国 Monterrey : 美国仅有的可以读口译的地方，为传说中的世界三大高翻之一。其GSTI学院的Conferenc e Interpretation 极其强悍（当然，GSTI的其他专业也是世界顶尖的）。一般要读两年，第二年为Advaneed Entry。有人直接进入第二年的吗？那一定是大牛人啊。第一年的入学要求还可以，不算很高。官方建议是最好有半年以上英语国家的生活学习经历，如果没有，则很有可能被要求在入学前先参加它的一个summer program （其实也就是多交钱的意思吧）。GPA要求3.0 + /4.0，否则要用 GRE高分来弥补。IELTS要求总分7以上，其中listening和 reading 不低于7,各项都不低于 6.5。再有就是要通过 Monterrey 独有的Early Diagnostic Test （ EDT）和Oral Diagnostic Test （ODT）了。 EDT可以发email去索要，貌似没有交稿时间。翻译的部分我个人比较下来觉得还是稍微有点难度的，尤其那篇中译英，我收到的EDT翻的是感叹母亲之死的，算文学类的翻译了。 除此之外还有一篇英译中，一篇英语作文，和中文概括，难度都可以无视。EDT完了之后， 还有一个ODT,算是第一阶段口试，根据它的要求录在光盘里，然后随EDT 一起寄给Mon terrey就可。ODT也没什么难度，自我介绍下，谈论一个热点问题，说说学习计划等就可以了，没有时间限制，只是听一下你的语音语调。索要EDT和ODT不要Money，但是要他 们评估你的EDT和ODT就要money 了，不过不贵，50刀。 总的来说，我觉得对于中英文的同传学习者而言，Monterrey应该是最好的去处了。缺点么 目前为止发现两个：一个是学费很贵（两年的学费生活费再加可能的summer program ）。 还有一个是GSTI的小米从来不回Email，态度极其傲慢。有朋友从准备申请开始到被录取，所发的email 没有一封小米回复过。负责EDT的那位倒是很热情，催我付assessment fee 催的甚是勤快… 3、英国 New Castle : 它也在所谓的世界三大高翻之列，貌似比前面两个差点…不过已经非常非常牛了。 MA Inte rpret ing （—年制）雅思最低要7.5，各单项不得低于 7。如果任一单项分数不到，最多就只 有con diti on al offer，无法argue。认识的人里有从 Nel MA In terpreti ng 毕业的，果然牛！一般直接申请 MA In terpret ing 会很困难，正常"的流程是先读一个 Adva need Tran slation Diploma，为期9个月，通过以后才有可能选择读MA Interpreting。相比之下，ATD就容 易申请很多了， 6.5的IELTS，各单项大于6，对本科学业成绩有一定要求（具体多少没说， 我反正肯定不到）。 我的GPA和IELTS成绩单项没有满足 MA Interpreting 的要求，我对 ATD又没有丝毫的兴趣。经过交涉后校方表示同意考虑让我直接去读MA Interpreting，但前提是入学报到前要 重考IELTS，达到语言要求。我一怒之下直接拒了New Castle。 4、英国 Leeds : 开设了 PG Diploma Conference Interpreting 课程（PGDipCI）, —年制，口碑还是非常好

Unit 5 CANADA- “THE TRUE NORTH” A TRIP ON “THE TRUE NORTH” Li Daiyu and her cousin Liu Qian were on a trip to Canada to visit their cousins in Montreal on the Atlantic coast. Rather than take the aeroplane all the way, they decided to fly to Vancouver and then take the train from west to east across Canada. The thought that they could cross the whole continent was exciting. Their friend, Danny Lin, was waiting at the airport. He was going to take them and their baggage to catch “The True North”, the cross-Canada train. On the way to the station, he chatted about their trip. “You’re going to see some great scenery. Going eastward, you’ll pass mountains and thousands of lakes and forests, as well as wide rivers and large cities. Some people have the idea that you can cross Canada in less than five days, but they forget the fact that Canada is 5,500 kilometres from coast to coast. Here in Vancouver, you’re in Canada’s warmest part. People say it is Canada’s most popular cities to live in. Its population is increasing rapidly. The coast north of Vancouver has some of the oldest and most beautiful forests in the world. It is so wet there that the trees are extremely tall, some measuring over 90 metres.” That afternoon aboard the train, the cousins settled down in their seats. Earlier that day, when they crossed the Rocky Mountains, they managed to catch sight of some mountain goats and even a grizzly bear and an eagle. Their next stop was Calgary, which is famous for the Calgary Stampede. Cowboys from all over the world come to compete in the Stampede. Many of them have a gift for riding wild horses and can win thousands of dollars in prizes. After two days’ travel, the girls began to realize that Canada is quite empty. At school, they had learned that most Canadians live within a few hundred kilometres of the USA border, and Canada’s population is only slightly over thirty million, but now they were amazed to see such an empty country. They went through a wheat-growing province and saw farms that covered thousands of acres. After dinner, they were back in an urban area, the busy port city of Thunder Bay at the top of the Great Lakes. The girls were surprised at the fact that ocean ships can sail up the Great Lakes.
