P: Hi. You’re listening to Ask the Expert and in today’s program we’re talking about languages and how to learn a language. Our expert today is Sally Parker, who is a teacher. Hi Sally.

S: Hello.

P: Sally, our first question today is from Andy. He says, “I’ve just started learning English. My problem is that I’m too frightened to speak. My grammar is not very good, so I’m worried about saying the wrong thing.” Have you got any advice for Andy?

S: OK. Well, the first thing is I think Andy should practice speaking to himself.

P: Speaking to himself? I’m not sure that’s a good idea.

S: I know it sounds silly, but talking to yourself in a foreign language is a really good way to practice. You don’t have to feel embarrassed, because nobody can hear you. You can talk to yourself about anything you like –what you had for breakfast, where you’re going for the weekend – anything. And the more you do it, the more you will get used to hearing your own vo ice and your pronunciation, so you won’t feel so frightened in the classroom. Andy should try it.

P: Hm, I suppose so. Anything else? What about his grammar?

S: He has only just started learning English, so he is going to make lots of mistakes, but tha t’s not

a problem. That’s how he’ll learn. Andy shouldn’t worry about making mistakes.

P: You’re right. So Andy, try talking to yourself, and don’t worry about making mistakes. Our next problem comes from Olivia in Brazil. She is worried about pronunciation. She says, “The problem is I can’t understand native speakers. They speak so fast and I can’t understand their pronunciation.” So Sally, any ideas for Olivia?

S: Well, first of all it’s a good idea for her to practice her listening skills. She should listen to English as much as possible to get used to how it sounds. Listen to the news, listen to podcasts, (and) watch English television.

P: OK –that’s a good idea.

S: And another thing she should do is to focus on listening and reading at the same time. If you listen to something on the Internet, you can often read the transcript. If you listen and read at the same time, it’ll help you see what the words sound like and how the words sound when a native speaker is talking.

P: Great. Thank you, Sally. Well, huh, I’m afraid that’s all we have time for today, but next week we’ll be …

N: Recent research into the history of IQ tests in Scotland suggests your IQ score might predict, to an extent at least, your health and even your life expectancy.

W1: You have 45 minutes to do the test, OK?

M1: OK.

N: Bill and Davina are 79 years old. This is the second time they’ve done this test. The first time was in 1932, when every 11-year-old in Scotland was put through an intelligence test. It’s the only time this kind of mass testing has ever been done in the UK. The results were rediscovered recently in an Edinburgh basement. If you want to know how our intelligence changes as we get older, these results are a potential goldmine.

I: We brought hundreds of people back and we got them to sit the exact same test that they had sat when they were aged 11. Now, these people are now 79 or 80 years old. We gave the same instructions. We gave the same test. And we gave the same time limit.

M2: It was a little stickier than I thought it would be.

M3: I walked through it quite happily, quite honestly.

W2: I felt I must have been very bright at 11 if I sat that exam and passed.

N: There were some intriguing results. Almost everyone had a better score at 80 than they did at 11.

But some had gone from being just averagely intelligent to a much higher level.

I: Now, that’s what really drives our research. We’re interested in: Why have those people who’ve gone (people gone) from IQ 100, at age 11, up to 110 or 120? What have they done right?

What can be the recipe for successful aging? We’re finding that the person with more education, even though they had the same IQ in childhood, is doing slightly better in old age, on average. The person who had a more professional job, in old age, is doing slightly better on average than the person who had a manual job, despite the fact that they started at the same level. The people who smoked have got slightly less good mental ability than you would expect.

N: What’s even more remarkable is that the kids who had higher IQ scores at 11 are the very ones still alive today. So it seems high IQ in childhood is good for survival.

Speaking for communication

Role-play

Scripts

A: Ah, OK, so we need to think of the best ideas for taking tests.

B: Yep.

A: Er, well, how about this one? It’s a good idea to study with friends at the same time each day. B: Mm, in my opinion, this is a really good idea. You can make it a regular part of your daily life. A: You mean like having breakfast at the same time, lunch at the same time, studying at the same time.

B: Yes. And also I think it helps when you study with friends.

A: Yeah, I, I think it’s more motivating.

B: And you can actually talk to someone, not just look at books. I find that if I’m only reading my notes it’s easy to lose concentration. I start thinking about other things. But when you are talking to someone, it really helps you concentrate. So, yes, I agree with this one.

A: OK. Another idea is not to eat too much before the exam.

B: Oh, really?

A: Mm, when I eat a lot, I get sleepy.

B: Oh, I see. I think it depends. Because if you don’t eat enough, you start to feel hungry in the middle of the exam.

A: Mm, that’s true.

B: And then you can’t concentrate.

A: Yeah, that’s true.

B: So, I’m not sure about this advice, for me. As I said, I think it depends. I always try to eat a good meal before an exam. I’m so nervous that I never get sleepy.

A: Hm. OK. What other ideas do you have?

B: Well, there’s one thing I always do before an exam.

A: What’s that?

B: I go to bed early the night before.

A: Right.

B: I always try to sleep for eight hours the night before the exam.

Conversation 1

W: It is the third time my paper has been rejected by journals because of language problems. M: You know, there is a writing center on campus. I had never got a grade better than C for any of my term papers before they helped me out.

Q: What can we learn from the conversation?

The woman should seek help from the writing center

Conversation 2

M: You said you would choose Spanish as your second foreign language. Why did you finally choose French instead?

W: My grandfather speaks fluent French and he says that French is a language that any truly cultured person must know.

Q: Why does the woman choose to learn French?

She thinks speaking French is a must for cultured people.

Conversation 3

W: You seem to have no problem understanding native speakers now. How about Dr. Brown’s speech last night?

M: Excellent. But it was still too fast for me to follow, especially when Dr. Brown talked about those abstract theories.

Q: What did the man do last night?

He attended a speech.

Conversation 4

M: It seems to me that Melissa is in a bad mood today. What’s wrong with her?

W: Melissa forgot to bring her identification card yesterday and she was not allowed to enter the contest. You know she had prepared for the contest for months.

Q: What made Melissa unhappy?

That she lost her chance to enter the contest.

Conversation 5

W: I think my time at school is wasted because it is just studying books and doing tests.

M: But you also learn new ideas and new ways of thinking. And more importantly you meet people and develop your understanding of people at school.

Q: What does the man think of the woman’s opinion?

It is one-sided.

Long conversation

Scripts

M: Miranda, let’s speak about your performance in class. You’re not participating; you’re careless with your assignments and often hand them in late. You don’t want to be here, do you?

W: I’m sorry Dr. Smith. It’s just … I’ve got lots of things to do. I’m studying Web design and I’m

a first-class player on our golf team. It’s hard to see why I need to take a Spanish language

class!

M: Well, I’m sorry you feel that way, but learning another language can improve your performance in all of your efforts. And it can be very useful sometimes, for instance, when you visit your father in Mexico.

W: Gosh! What do you mean, professor? Just because my father does business in Mexico I’m supposed to learn Spanish –on top of everything else I have to learn? It’s just too much! And if

I don’t spend enough time on the golf course, I won’t remain a first-class player on the golf

team. I still don’t see why I should learn a language that’s so hard for me. There are no verb tenses on the golf course or in Web design!

M: Listen Miranda, I’ve known your father since we were students at university 20 yearsago – and have known you since you were a little girl. Of course, there are no verb tenses in golf or Web design. But I am giving you good advice. Please listen.

W: Y es, of course, you’re like my favorite uncle.

M: Your brain isn’t like a cup that has water flowing over its edge when it is full. Instead, it’s like a muscle. Learning Spanish exercises your brain in new ways, making it stronger. It will strengthen your critical thinking skills and creativity.

W: Really?! Then I guess I can give it a try.

Q1 How was the woman doing in the man’s class?

She often fails to turn in her homework on time.

Q2What does the woman think of learning Spanish?

It presents great difficulty for her.

Q3What do we know from this conversation about the man?

He has a good personal relationship with the woman.

Q4What is the woman most likely to do after talking to the man?

Work harder in her Spanish class.

Passage 1

Scripts

I began learning Spanish when I was in high school, using a traditional academic method of

studying verbs, sentence structures, and grammar by using textbooks and not much else. I found it very easy to learn, but was frustrated with the slow pace and repetitive nature of all my Spanish classes. So I worked extra hard in my spare time and asked my teacher if I could skip a level by the end of the semester.

This was unsuccessful, however, because the school was not willing to test me or otherwise prove that I could be successful in the top level after skipping a level. This made things even more frustrating, as then I was stuck in a class where I already knew the material!

Then I went on to college where I then used the language extensively both in and out of the classroom. I studied Spanish literature, culture, and linguistics and very much enjoyed the cultural and linguistic elements, but found the in-depth study of literature a very unbalanced way to study Spanish.

I got a lot out of using my Spanish outside of the classroom, including a trip to Mexico with a church group, where I found myself acting as an interpreter. It was certainly challenging, but it was also a lot of fun.

I then also volunteered to be an interpreter in the community schools and also used my Spanish to teach English to some Spanish speakers. This is probably where I learned the most!

Q1: What do we know about the speaker’s Spanish learning experience in high school?

She showed dissatisfaction with the slow pace of her class.

Q2: What made the speaker feel frustrated while leaning Spanish in high school?

She had to learn the material that she already knew.

Q3: What did the speaker say about her study of Spanish literature in college?

It proved to be an unbalanced way to learn the language.

Q4: Which experience benefited the speaker most in terms of her use of Spanish?

She taught Spanish speakers how to speak English.

Passage 2

Scripts and answers

Have you ever heard of homeschooling? It is a legal choice for parents in most countries to provide their children with a learning environment as an 1) alternative to public or private schools outside the home. Parents cite 2) numerous reasons for homeschooling their children. The three reasons that are selected by the majority of parents in the United States are the concern about the 3) traditional school environment, the lack of religious or moral instruction, and the dissatisfaction with the 4) academic instruction at public and private schools. Homeschooling may also be a factor in the choice of parenting style. Homeschooling can be a choice for families living in isolated 5) countryside or living briefly abroad. Also many young 6) athletes and actors are taught at home.

Homeschoolers often 7) take advantage of educational opportunities at museums, libraries, community centers, athletic clubs, after-school programs, churches, parks, and other community resources. 8) Secondary school level students may take classes at community colleges, which typically have open admission policies.

Groups of homeschooling families often join up together to create homeschool co-ops. These groups typically meet once a week and provide a classroom environment. These are family- centered support groups whose members seek to pool their talents and resources 9) in a collectiveeffort to broaden the scope of their children’s education. They provide a classroom environment where students can do hands-on and group learning such as performing, science experiments, art projects, foreign language study, spelling contests, discussions, etc. Parents whose children take the classes 10) serve as volunteers to keep costs low and make the program a success.

Part 1

F: I’ve spent a lot of time living in different countries so there isn’t one place I think of as home.

I’ve lived in Scotland and Poland and China. I love going to new places and learning about new

c ultures. Today, I’m asking people about travel.

Part 2

W1: I love travel. It’s one of my passions.

M1: Well, I enjoy it a lot. I have traveled to India several times. I lived there, and I’ve lived here, and I’ve been to Istanbul once and I enjoyed tha t very much.

W2: I’ve done quite a bit of traveling on holidays and stuff. I think it’s good, good experience.

W3: You get to meet different people coming from different backgrounds, and that’s really important to get an understanding.

M2: It’s alway s just nice to get out and experience a different culture and different lifestyle.

W4: I get very excited about the thought of going to most countries, any country.

W5: I love to travel to different countries.

M3: Absolutely love traveling. I’ve been traveling for about two and a half years solid now.

W6: I’ve been to Turkey. I’ve been to Egypt. I’ve been to Malta.

M4: I work as an expedition leader and so I actually operate in different countries around the world, many places outside the United Kingdom.

Part 3

F: What do you like about traveling?

M3: I think you mature a lot when you travel. You, er, you learn … oh, just completely different experiences to what you’re used to at home.

W6: I like the airport experience. I love that.

M5: I like the arrival more than the traveling.

W5: To see art especially. We love to see theater in other countries.

M4: You see some, some of the most beautiful scenery around the world which you wouldn’t experience in other countries.

M2: I just really like getting out there and experiencing a different culture, getting far away from, you know, what we’re used to in Australia, and meeting new people.

W4: The anticipation of being in a new place, of seeing very different things, er, of hearing a different language, (and) of eating different food. Everything that travel has to offer.

Part 4

F: What don’t you like?

W6: I don’t like long flights.

W3: I suppose plane journeys aren’t always the most exciting of things.

W1: Flying. I don’t particularly like flying, but it’s a necessity when you live in Ireland, you know. M2: I suppose the biggest problem I have with traveling is living out of a suitcase.

W4: In all honesty, I actually see the whole travel as an adventure in itself. So, er, when, when I was backpacking, and we all … we ran out of money, or we were in dangerous situations, I actually quite enjoyed that.

M4: You spend a lot of time outside the United Kingdom, and the disadvantage of that is, that you, you tend to miss familie s and friends. I miss out on normal things in life, so … I’ve been outside the United Kingdom for two thirds of the year. I’d say that’s the main disadvantage. W5: The hardest thing for me is that I am handicapped. And so sometimes getting around, especially very old cities, is very difficult.

M5: My wife’s usually late for … getting to the airport. It wasn’t until I, I got married I actually started missing flights.

One place that I think everyone should have the chance to see is Venice. But the problem is that this beautiful and charming city is slowly sinking. Ever since the 14th century engineers have tried to work out a way to stop the floods in Venice, but so far nobody has managed. Sometimes there are as many as 40 floods per year between March and September, and Venice is actually sinking at a rate of two and a half inches every decade. It’s very possible that your grandchildren, and their grandchildren will never have the chance to see this fragile city. Everyone should have the chance to enjoy the city, to walk across its famous bridges, through its ancient squares. There are no cars in Venice, and many people think it helps this to be one of the most romantic cities in the world. So, can it be saved?

Well, they are trying. Barriers are being put in to try and stop the water getting too high. This is viewed as a temporary measure, although they should last 100 years, so the problem is finding a permanent solution. If you want my advice, go there while you still can, and then together we can put pressure on the government to spend the money it needs to find a permanent way to keep this beautiful and historic city for future generations. We have an opportunity now to save this city, and we must, before it’s too late.

OK, well, we would like to go to Easter Island. It is very isolated, very far from other places. Er, we are going to travel there by plane and stay with different families and the trip is going to take three months. We want to experience the local culture, their music, food, and way of life. So our plan is to speak to the local people about these things and to film them. We hope to find out about their traditions and to see what they think of their history. Well, um, finally, my husband and I always wanted to go to Easter Island. I read about it when I was a child and I saw pictures of these amazing stone heads on the island. So for us this is the journey of our dreams.

M: I still can’t decide whether we should have a whole package tour or a self-drive tour.

W: A whole package tour means having to spend time in the confined quarters of a coach, bus or train with people you are not familiar with, but considering our budget, perhaps we have to sacrifice comfort and privacy.

M: It’s good to have you back at work Emily. How was your trip to the Amazon rainforest?

W: It was like a spectacular dream; I saw so many more things than I ever could have imagined.

The plants are so thick that you couldn’t even see the sun or the sky above, and there are more shades of green than I’ve seen before in my life!

M: Wow, with so many plants, how did you get around?

W: We rode a tour boat down the Amazon River –it connects the whole jungle, and the local people use it to travel, too. It’s amazing being somewhere so far away from technology, without any electricity for miles and miles. The local people don’t even see the world outside of the jungle, never traveling more than 15 minutes up or down the river their whole lives! M: What an entirely different lifestyle! It must be completely different there. Did you get to meet any of the villagers?

W: Oh yes! Here’s the story: I finished a smallblue bottle of wine and was about to throw it away.

The tour guide told me to save it. Later, when we arrived at one of the villages, he introduced me to an old woman there who greeted our boat. I gave her the wine bottle as a gift. She looked at it like a great treasure, and she said that it would be an honored prize for her hut. I was shocked that something so small and common for me – could mean so much!

M: Emily, I suppose we really take modern life for granted.

Q1: What does the woman say about the plants in the Amazon rainforest?

There are so many plants that it’s hard to see the sky.

Q2: What does the woman say about the local people?

They are separated from the world outside of jungle.

Q3: Why was the old woman in the village so excited?

Because Emily gave her an empty bottle.

Q4: What has the woman learned from her traveling experience?

Small and common things should also be valued.

Passage 1

Scripts

I believe watching nature programs on television is not going to give us and our children a real experience of nature. On the contrary, they may distance us from nature – actual nature – even further.

Because real nature experiences mean contact with nature. It means being with and within nature, to experience it with all five senses.

True, TV programs give us joy but they will never be able to help us form a relationship with nature. We watch our small screens come alive with the vivid colors and we all let out “aahhhh …” and “wooooow”. But, never once will we feel the pleasure of bein g close to nature.

Worse still –the programs such as those on the Discovery Channel make nature seem so strange, and so far away, in the forests of the Amazon or in the wilds of Africa. Children may grow up without even realizing that the flowers, plants or a couple of trees in their backyard are nature and they are equally precious. The truth is –nature is so close to us. We don’t need to go anywhere far to enjoy such experiences. It is right there in our backyards. Or, in parks, gardens, forests, or national parks.

All we need to do is make an effort to get closer to nature – know it, appreciate it, and explore it. Feeling the soil under our feet and the wind in our hair; listening to the sound of the fallen leaves and taking in the smell of the wet soil – all these are pure joy to the senses that we must experience.

Q1: What may happen to children after watching nature programs on TV?

They may be more distant from the actual nature.

Q2: How should children get close to nature according to the speaker?

By experiencing it with the five senses.

Q3: What impression might the Discovery Channel leave on children?

Nature seems very far away from them.

Q4: What is the main idea of this passage?

Real nature experiences come from physical contact with nature.

Passage 2

Scripts and answers

I have never been able to understand people who don’t see the point in traveling. The common reason is that traveling is a waste of time and money. I’ve heard some are 1) scared to travel too far away. I can’t help but feel sorry particularly for those who 2) perceive the experience of seeing a new place as a 100 percent 3) negative one. Telling them stories about unusual encounters doesn’t 4) result in the expected curiosity but a “Why would you wanna go there!?” It makes me 5) lose faith in humanity. Experience is the best teacher and knowledge is power. The things traveling can teach you are beautiful because you learn to trust in what you see rather than what you are told.

I t was Mark Twain who said, “Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness,” which in my mind 6) goes down as the closest to the truth about traveling. Too bad there aren’t enough people with the means to travel actually doing it. If you have the means to go abroad, you should do it despite going out of your comfort zone. You might realize why you loved it once you’re back home.

I think traveling is also the best thing you could do if you feel 7) depressed at home, don’t know what to do with your future, your life, your partner –anything. Once you are away, 8) preferably somewhere very new and unknown, you are forced to 9) adapt and meet people. This works especially if you travel alone. A new life and especially the new relationships you build, even if only for a short period of time, 10) reveal opportunities and views you never would have thought of and had otherwise.

So, is it possible? Well, we’re going to find out. We’ve asked Dominique and Rob to spend an evening in London, and not spend more than ￡15. So, let’s speak to Dominique first. Hi, Dominique.

D: Hi, George.

P: Tell us, Dominique, what are your plans?

D: Well, first of all I’m going to see a free art exhibition at the Tate Modern. I don’t normally like modern art, so I hope it’s OK. Um, then I’m meeting some friends and we’re going to a concert at a pub called The King’s Head. There’s a free band playing and so I only need to pay for my drinks. Afterwards we’re h aving dinner in Brick Lane where there are lots of Indian restaurants.

They’ve told me that if you go to one of the restaurants there at 10 p.m., you can get a free meal. I don’t know if that’s true, but I’m going to try anyway. Then I’m getting the bus ho me. A taxi is too expensive.

Part 1

Holiday 10 Best takes a journey to the coolest, the hippest, the biggest and the most exciting cities around the world. We’ve got shopping, socializing, sightseeing, history, culture, and of course the odd beach or two.

So, what is it that makes a city truly great? Let’s face it: We spend most of our time trying to get away from them. They’re busy; they’re crowded; they aren’t exactly relaxing. So, how does Barcelona manage to get it so right?

I love Barcelona. I’ve been here about a dozen times, and what keeps bringin g me back? Well, it’s the art, the great buildings, fantastic shopping, and just the general laid-back attitude to life. It’s my favorite city and I’m gonna show you my recipe for the perfect day here.

Part 2

Now, you don’t want to start your day too early because it’s going to be a long one. But when you do manage to drag yourself out of bed, the only way to kick things off here is with a nice, big, fat, creamy cup of hot chocolate, with some lovely sugary churros.

First stop on my sightseeing tour: La Sagrada Familia. Barcelona likes to think of itself as such an individual city and for me the Sagrada Familia really sums that up.

People always think that a siesta is about sleeping. Not true. In Barcelona, it means a nice, long lunch, and that means it’s time for tapas. What I love about tapas is the way you can just try a little bit of this, a little bit of that, and if you really want to find out what it’s all about, get Juan Carlos, who’s the owner of the oldest tapas bar in Barcelona, just to ser ve you up a selection.

No city break is complete without a spot of serious shopping. Most first-timers will end up on the Ramblas, famous for its silly statues and being ridiculously crowded. What can I say? I’m a northern girl and I love my markets, and this is the best one I’ve found anywhere in the world. Now, there’s probably more tourists here than there are locals, but that’s because of two reasons: this fantastic bar –Pinocchio’s Bar, and the amazing array of things that you can buy here. Well worth a visit.

Now, one thing that will probably surprise you about Barcelona is that it’s got beaches. Five of them. Now, they’re not the best you’re gonna find on the Med, but it’s one of the things that makes this place so special.

There are two things to remember when you’re heading out for the night here. One: Don’t even think about coming out early. Nobody has dinner before nine. And two: Pace yourself. It’s going to be a long night. The way to approach a night out in Barcelona is to take a drink here, a nibble of tapas there, and then repeat until you get tired, or the sun comes up. And that’s exactly what I’m going to do.

I’m going to tell you about my perfect day in Prague. Um, first of all, we’re starting the day in the main square. It’s a beautiful place to have breakfast in one of the cafés. It’s a little bit expensive, but we’re going to sit outside so we can watch the clock tower.

After breakfast, we’re goi ng to walk through the old city, and go to Charles Bridge. There are some interesting statues on the bridge, and there’s a market where you can buy some souvenirs. From the bridge, we’re walking up to the Castle. And we’re going to have lunch in a restaura nt near there.

In the afternoon, we’re taking a tram around the city. It’s a good way to see the sights because it’s cheap and easy. And afterwards, we’re going to relax in the park at Petrin Hill. Er, there is a tall tower here, where you can see wonder ful views of the city, too. We’re going to a coffee shop in the afternoon, in the Municipal House, where they do wonderful coffees.

And then, in the evening, we’re planning to go to a classical music concert in St. Nicholas Church. You can come here to listen to Bach, Mozart or Vivaldi, and the atmosphere is very special. When it’s finished, we’re having dinner at Kolkovna, in the old town, which serves traditional Czech food, and then we’re going to spend the rest of the evening trying different bars in the old town, which serve very cheap, local beers. It’s going to be fantastic!

W: Hello?

M: Hi Amy, it’s Ryan. I’m calling because I want to invite you and your sister Ashley to a dinner party this Saturday. My roommate Erick and I are hosting a 1960s theme party with a few other friends.

W: A theme party? Is that like a dress-up party?

M: Sort of … You’re certainly encouraged to dress in 1960s fashions! Short skirts, bright colors, and bell-bottom jeans! Or go to the beginning of the 1960s and come as one of your favorite actresses … But it’s not just cool clothes; we’ll have food, games, and entertainment inspired by the 1960s. In fact, we’ll start our meal with alien noodles in honor of all those space and alien TV shows.

W: Wait! Wait! What are “alien noodles”? Why not have regular noodles in honor of the movie The Godfather?

M: No way! The Godfather is from the 1970s. Anyway, alien noodles are bright green noodles with purple sauce!

W: What?! That’s crazy!

M: Yeah! Anyway, there’ll be lots of other things. I don’t want to spoil the surprises. But just for you, we’ll end wi th light desserts and coffee from one of your favorite 1960s movies.

W: I can’t wait! Ooooooh, I have an idea. We can have a special bar and make fancy mixed drinks.

They’re always drinking in old TV shows!

M: Perfect! And start reviewing 1960s music! W e’re having a dance contest and a singing contest. W: This sounds like a lot of fun. Can I invite my roommate? She loves all of the classic movies from that time!

M: Of course – the more, the merrier! Anyway, it starts at 7:00 p.m. – my apartment.

They are likely to dress like people in the 1960s.

Q2: What is particular about alien noodles?

They are brightly colored.

Because regular noodles don’t fit the theme of the party.

They will make and have fancy mixed drinks.

Passage 1

Scripts

Since I’m a student, I go to school on weekdays and so I don’t have too much free t ime. I usually spend six or seven hours at school. After that I either go downtown for some shopping or go home and study. If I have some free time during the week I might read a book or watch TV. Lately my evenings have been spent preparing for my graduation examination, which takes up a lot of time.

Even though I have a lot to do, I still have some free time for leisure activities. On weekends I like to go with my family to our cottage. I like taking long walks around the countryside and I like watching the seasons change. I have the most free time during the summer months. One of my favorite activities is to go canoeing with my friends. We borrow a couple of canoes and choose a nice spot on the river to begin. We spend the day floating down the river. Sometimes if it gets hot we jump in the water and go swimming. Of course we take breaks during the day; we stop along the river to prepare some food or to visit a local pub. In the evening we set up our tents and make a campfire. We spend the evening talking, singing songs, and enjoying nature. We often cook some sausages over the campfire. And one of my favorite things to do is wrap potatoes in foil and then cook them in the hot ashes. These wonderful trips, just like summer, always end too soon.

Q1: What do we know from this passage about the speaker?

He will soon graduate from school.

Q2: What does the speaker like doing on weekends?

Going for long walks in the countryside.

Q3: How do the speaker and his friends spend the day when they go canoeing?

Drifting down the river.

Q4: What does the speaker most like doing when camping in the evening?

Cooking potatoes in the hot ashes.

UNIT 5 VI. Further Listening and Speaking Task1: Hot Business Ideas Business ideas are all around you. Many business ideas come from a careful analysis of market and consumer needs. If you are interested in starting a business, but don’t know what product or service you might sell, here are some ways that may help you find one. First of all, you should study how to value to an existing product. The difference raw wood and finished wooden products is a good example of putting a product through an additional process that increases its value. But additional processes are not the only way value can be added. You might also add services, or combine one product with other products. For instance, a local farm which sells produce can also offer a vegetable delivery service—for a free. What business ideas can you develop along these lines? Focus on what products you might buy, and what you might do to them or with them to create a profitable business. Some people have another way of making profit. They improve an existing products or service. We all know that the person who can build a better mousetrap will make a lot of money. That person could be you! A local entrepreneur has created an improved version of the hula hoop. It’s bigger and heavier, so hula-hoopers can control it more easily and do more tricks. How did she come up with this business idea? She thought hula hooping would be a fun thing to do with her daughter, but found the commercially available product too flimsy. There are very few products or services that can’t be improved. Start generating business ideas by looking at the products and services you use and brainstorming ideas as to how they could be better. 1. What is the first way the speaker mentions that helps you produce a business idea? 2. Which of the following methods does the speaker NOT mention? 3. Why does the speaker mention the mousetrap? 4. Which of the following is true according to the passage? 5. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? Keys: 1.C 2.B 3.B 4.A 5.D Task 2: What do you know about business? Historically, the term business referred to activities or interests. By extension, the word became, as recently as the 18th century, synonymous with “an individual commercial enterprise”. When referring to activities, the terms business and industry sometimes appear interchangeable. Thus a fisherman might say either that he is in the “fishing business”, which is a bit colloquial or that he works in the “fishing industry”, which sounds somewhat formal. The word “trade” m ay serve as an equivalent of both “business” and “industry”. People establish business in order to perform economic activities. With some exceptions, such as non-profit organizations and institutions of the government, businesses exist to product profit. In other words, the owners and operators of a business have receiving or generating a financial return for their time, effort and capital as one of their main objectives. One can classify businesses in many different ways. In recent years, service businesses have become increasingly popular. They offer intangible products and typically have different, usually smaller, capital requirements than manufacturers. Distributors need smaller funds than manufacturers. Most laws specify the forms that a business can take, and a body of commercial law has been developed for each type. Some common types include partnerships, corporations, also called limited liability companies, and sole ownerships. Task3: An office boy or a billionaire? A jobless man applied for the po sition of “office boy” at Microsoft. The human resource manger interviewed him, and gave him a test: clean the floor. “You are engaged,” he said, “give me your email address, and I’ll send you the application form to fill and tell you when you will start.”The man replied, “I don’t have a computer or an email.”

Unit 1 Text A Ex.1 Understanding the text 1、Because he is tired of listening to his father and he is not interested in grammar rules. 2、The civilization of Greece and the glory of Roman architecture are so marvelous and remarkable that they should be described at least in a brief account; however, what the student could do was only one single utterance :“whoa!” without any any specific comment. 3、Because the schools fail to set high standards of language proficiency. They only teach a little grammar and less advanced vocabulary. And the younger teachers themselves have little knowledge of the vital structures of language. 4、Because teaching grammar is not an easy job and most of the students will easily get bored if it’s not properly dealt with. 5、He familiarized his son with different parts of speech in a sentence and discussed their specific grammatical functions including how to use adverbs to describe verbs. 6、Because the son had never heard about the various names and functions of words in an English sentence before. 7、The author uses “road map”and “car”to describe grammar and vocabulary. Here,“road map”is considered as grammar and “car”as vocabulary. 8、Since the subjunctive mood his son used is a fairly advanced grammar structure, the interjection“whoa!”reflects the tremendous pride the father had toward his son; it also reflects the author’s humor in using the word because it was once used by his student, though in two different situations and with two different feelings.

新视野大学英语第二册读写教程课文翻译 Unit 1 Text A An impressive Engli lsesson 标题: 一堂难忘的英语课 1. 如果我是唯一一个还在纠正小孩英语的家长，那么我儿子也许是对的。对他而言，我是一个乏味的怪物：一个他不得不听其教诲的父亲，一个还沉湎于语法规则的人，对此我儿子似乎颇为反感。 2. 我觉得我是在最近偶遇我以前的一位学生时，才开始对这个问题认真起来的。这个学生刚从欧洲旅游回来。我满怀着诚挚期待问她：“欧洲之行如何？” 3. 她点了三四下头，绞尽脑汁，苦苦寻找恰当的词语，然后惊呼：“真是，哇！” 4. 没了。所有希腊文明和罗马建筑的辉煌居然囊括于一个浓缩的、不完整的语句之中！我的学生以“哇！”来表示她的惊叹，我只能以摇头表达比之更强 烈的忧虑。 5. 关于正确使用英语能力下降的问题，有许多不同的故事。学生的确本应该能够区分诸如 their/there/they're 之间的不同，或区别 complimentary 跟complementary 之间显而易见的差异。由于这些知识缺陷，他们承受着大部分不该承受的批评和指责，因为舆论认为他们应该学得更好。 6. 学生并不笨，他们只是被周围所看到和听到的语言误导了。举例来说，杂货店的指示牌会把他们引向 stationary（静止处），虽然便笺本、相册、和笔记本等真正的 stationery（文具用品）并没有被钉在那儿。朋友和亲人常宣 称 They've just ate。实际上，他们应该说 They've just eaten。因此，批评学生不合乎清理。 7. 对这种缺乏语言功底而引起的负面指责应归咎于我们的学校。学校应对英语熟练程度制定出更高的标准。可相反，学校只教零星的语法，高级词汇更是少之又少。还有就是，学校的年轻教师显然缺乏这些重要的语言结构方面的知识，因为他们过去也没接触过。学校有责任教会年轻人进行有效的语言沟通，可他们并没把语言的基本框架一一准确的语法和恰当的词汇一一充分地传授给学生。 8. 因为语法对大多数年轻学生而言枯燥且乏味，所以我觉得讲授语法得一步一步、注重技巧地进行。有一天机会来了。我跟儿子开车外出。我们出发时， 他看到一只小鸟飞得很不稳，就说：“它飞的不稳。"（It's flying so unsteady.)我小心翼翼地问：“儿子，鸟怎么飞?”“有问题吗？我说得不对吗？（Did I say anything incorrectly?）”他一头雾水。“太好了，你说的是 incorrectly 而不是 incorrect。我们用副词来描述动词。所以，要用 unsteadily 来描述鸟飞，而不是 unsteady。” 9. 他对我的纠正很好奇，就问我什么是副词。我慢慢解释道：“副词是用来修 饰动词的词。”这又导致了他询问我什么是动词。我解释说：“动词是表示行为的词，例如：爸爸开卡车。‘开’是动词，因为它是爸爸在做的事。” 10. 他开始对表示行为的词产生兴趣，所以我们又罗列了几个动词：“飞行”、“游泳”、“跳水”、“跑步”。然后，他又好奇地问我，其他的词有没有说明它们的用法和功能的名称。这就引发了我们对名词、形容词和冠词的讨论。在短短十分钟的驾驶时间内，他从对语法一无所知到学会了句子中主要词语的词性。

新视野大学英语第三版book 2 unit 1 翻译 英译中： English is known as a world language, regularly used by many nations whose English is not their first language. Like other languages, English has changed greatly. The history of the English language can be divided into three main periods: Old English, Middle English and Modern English. The English language started with the invasion of Britain by three Germanic tribes during the 5th century AD, and they contributed greatly to the formation of the English language. During the medieval and early modern periods, the influence of English spread throughout the British Isles, and from the early 17th century its influence began to be felt throughout the world. The processes of European exploration and colonization for several centuries led to significant change in English. Today, American English is particularly influential, due to the popularity of American cinema, television, music, trade and technology, including the Internet. 人们普遍认为英语是一种世界语言，经常被许多不以英语为第一语言的国家使用。与其他语言一样，英语也发生了很大的变化。英语的历史可以分为三个主要阶段：古英语，中古英语和现代英语。英语起源于公元5世纪，当时三个日耳曼部落入侵英国，他们对英语语言的形成起了很大的作用。在中世纪和现代社会初期，英语的影响遍及不列颠群岛。从17世纪初，它的影响力开始在世界各地显现。欧洲几百年的探险和殖民过程导致了英语的重大变化。今天，由于美国电影、电视、贸易和技术、包括互联网的大受欢迎，美国英语的影响力尤其显。 中译英： 中国书法(calligraphy)是一门独特的艺术、是世界上独一无二的艺术瑰宝。中国书法艺术的形成，发展与汉文字的产生与演进存在着密不可分的关系。汉字在漫长的演变发展过程中，一方面起着交流思想、继承文化的重要作用，另一方面它本身又形成了一种独特的艺术。书法能够通过作品把书法家个人的生活感受、学识、修养、个性等折射出来，所以，通常有“字如其人”的说法。中国书法不仅是中华民族的文化瑰宝，而且在世界文化艺术宝库中独放异彩。 Chinese calligraphy is a unique art and the unique art treasure in the world. The formation and development of the Chinese calligraphy is closely related to the emergence and evolution of Chinese characters. In this long evolutionary process, Chinese characters have not only played an important role in exchanging ideas and transmitting culture but also developed into a unique art form. Calligraphic works well reflect calligraphers' personal feelings, knowledge, self-cultivation, personality, and so forth, thus there is an expression that "seeing the calligrapher's handwriting is like seeing the person". As one of the treasures o Chinese culture, Chinese calligraphy shines splendidly in the world's treasure house of culture and art. 新视野大学英语第三版book 2 unit 2 课后翻译 英翻中
