1Li Yang Crazy for EnglishBy staff reporter ZHAN NIPUT your face into your pocket, and cry out in English with me, so that you won't lose it in the future!" Li Yang yells, while making gestures to indicate correct pronunciation, and titillating the audience into roars, whooping, and applause. Such ardor and vigor is the trademark of Li Yang's Crazy English, an unconventional method of English study that encourages learners to enunciate English as they study.Crazy English was not readily accepted when it first emerged, as it ran counter to all traditional modes and concepts of teaching. It is in no way strange that Crazy English was initially despised and detested by the many traditional Chinese people who have longcherished the oriental virtues of restraint, modesty and moderation. But Li, a sturdy young man with bristling brush-cut hair, has never given up, despite all prejudice and opposition.To date, Li Yang has lectured over 20 million people in China, Japan and the Republic of Korea. Over 100 members of the media from 30 countries, including Canada, the U.S and Australia, have interviewed him, and the Japanese TV station NHK has made a live broadcast of his Crazy English. A documentary film has also been shot about this latter-day legend.Li showed no aptitude for languages during his childhood, and in his early youth he was so introverted that he was afraid to talk to strangers or go to the cinema alone. As a child he once suffered an accidental electric shock during physical therapy, but was too shy to mention it. In 1986 Li entered the Engineering Mechanics Department of Lanzhou University, but his college life did not get off to a good start. He did so badly at school work that he failed a total of 13 exams in various subjects, including English. Determined to make a change, Li devoted himself topreparing for the upcoming TEM 4, a national English exam for college students.At first he busied himself with books full of exercises, like all his classmates, but one day he found that his study effectiveness was much improved when he read the text out loud. By enunciating what he was learning, he felt more confident and courageous, and furthermore, that he could focus his attention more closely on studying and therefore have a clearer memory of what he had learned. So every day, in a clearing on campus, he read English exercises, texts and books out loud. The effect was magic. In the TEM4 exam he attended four months later Li Yang finished all the questions within 50 minutes and won the second highest mark in his college.2This success inspired Li Yang. He summarized hisexperience and gradually forged a unique method of Englishstudy that consists of listening, reading, speaking, writing andtranslating, and named it Crazy English. This is an effective wayof improving English pronunciation, speaking, listening and oraltranslation. Li Yang was eager to share his experience withothers who had also experienced difficulty in learning English,and one day surprised everyone who knew him by posting up anotice on campus, announcing that he would give a lecture on studying English. This lecture, the first Li had ever given, was warmly applauded by his schoolmates, despite his initial awkwardness of delivery.After his graduation in 1990 Li Yang got a job at the Northwest Electronic Equipment Institute in Xi'an in Shaanxi Province. He went on with his Crazy English by reading English on the way to and from his office, and standing on top of the office building every morning shouting out English. In 1992 Li went to Guangzhou, and was selected from among 1,000 other candidates taking the test for a post on the English channel of the Guangdong People's Radio Station. He later became a popular English news reader at Guangzhou TV station, and the youngest member of the China Translators' Association.In the years following Li further advanced his English via practice of Crazy English. His English became so pure that it is hard to distinguish him from a native speaker, and the advertisements he dubbed were widely broadcast in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia. He is now also a noted bilingual compere in Guangzhou and a specially-invited translator at the U.S. Consulate General, and is referred to jokingly as an all-purpose translating machine.Vexed at the thought of over 300 million Chinese people still studying English dumb and mute, Li Yang quit his job in 1994 and founded the Li Yang Cliz English Promotion Studio. In the past years his Crazy English has been accepted by 20 million people in over 100 cities in China, and inspired millions of people in their study of English.Time Magazine once published a report on Li Yang, which read: "There was a time when diplomats needed to speak French, and doctors benefited from German. But Li Yang believes English is an indispensable language. He thinks there is one method that can help China grow strong and confident. That is to shout English out loud." This article pushed Li Yang and his Crazy English into the foreground of world attention.With the belief that language learning will become one of the biggest businesses in the future, with Chinese and English predominating, Li Yang has set himself another ambitious target: to promote his Crazy English.Crazy Chinese world-wide and to help 300 million Chinese to speak excellent English, and 300 million foreigners to speak excellent Chinese.Li Yang hopes that more Chinese people will go abroad to work as language teachers, as Americans and Britons have done in China, as its further opening up and increasing influence within the international community means that Chinese is becoming an important foreign language in many countries. Chinese courses are now available in manySome 20,000 Englishlearners shout CrazyEnglish with Li Yang atthe Workers'Gymnasium.3 primary and middle schools in certain Western countries, and more and more foreigners are swarming to China to study Chinese."In the 21st century, people with a mastery of both English and Chinese will be in great demand around the world. So we must study English, and true English, in earnest. We have to grasp English before we can spread Chinese to more countries and regions of the world." For this purpose Li Yang is planning to make a circuit of foreign countries to give lectures on the Chinese language and culture. He also hopes that Chinese language and culture centers, where people may gain a better understanding of this ancient country, might be set up in foreign metropolises and leading universities.Li has sacrificed much in pursuit of his ideal, in particular his health and private life. Overwork has resulted in various ailments such as congestion of the throat, hyperosteogeny and a slight paralysis of the limbs. This exuberant young man often dreams of retreating from the current excitement and bustle to go and rest in a peaceful place, like Lijiang, Yunnan Province for example. Such thoughts are banished, however, as soon as he catches sight of the foot-high pile of invitations on his desk.-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-To all Chinese English learners:写给所有中国英语学习者的第一封信：1.I am truly honoured to have this fantastic opportunity to make all your guys’acquaintance.万分荣幸能够有这样绝佳的机会与大家相识。

2010英语期末口语考试

第一篇：①Having a Boyfriend or Girlfriend on CampusIn recent years, having a boyfriend or girlfriend has become a fashion on campus, especially at colleges and universities. This fashion is thought of by most love-struck students as a good way of developing their personality and a precious part of campus life.While it is true that being together and in love is wonderful for young people, there are still many difficult issues to cope with. Firstly, since having a special friend is a large responsibility, it takes up a lot of time looking after the needs and interests of another person, most of which could be used for studying or playing sport. Financial situation is another factor to consider. Some activities are cheaper to do together, but most are not. For example, going to the movies or to a restaurant and buying each other more expensive gifts than necessary often cost a great deal.As a college student, I don’t think it wrong or shameful to have a boyfriend or girlfriend on campus,and meanwhile, I don’t encourage this deed. After all, study is the principal task on campus.第二篇:②Cheating at ExaminationsCheating at examinations has long been a headache of school authorities although every possible effort has been made to stop it. Some students consider cheating as an effective approach to pass examinations and such cheat has given rise to many adverse effects on students’ study and career.The reasons for cheating at examinations consist in both the students and the schools. The students who cheat at examinations are always those who don’t study hard or are rather poor at certain subjects, so they have no choice but to cheat. Meanwhile, good performance in examinations has been the most important standard of being a good student. The schools often evaluate and rank students according to their results in examinations, bringing to students great pressure.There are at least two applicable ways to solve this problem. First, the schools should introduce a new all-round system of evaluating a student to replace the traditional examination-oriented system. Second, more high-tech means, such as video surveillance and fingerprint identification, should be employed to catch such cheat.第四篇:③English cornersEnglish corners are occasions where English teachers can talk with each other in English on some topics. Now, nearly every college provides students such opportunities to practice speaking English.Needless to say, English corners are helpful for English study. First, by talking with other people, one can improve his or her oral English, especially when native speakers join. Also, taking part in English cornersmay develop one's interest in English. Confidence in speaking may build up confidence in writing and listening. More importantly, participating in English corners is a way to find one's mistakes in speaking English, and fortunately, most of the mistakes are often corrected right on the corners.In order to make good use of English corners, one should take into consideration the following suggestions. What is most important is speaking only English from the very beginning to the end. Another is speaking actively yet modestly.第六篇:④Pros and Cons of Online ShoppingRapid development of the Internet leads to the rise of online shopping. People first browse through the screen to find wanted articles, then pay with credit or debit cards, and the goods are later delivered to them. Websites such as eBay and Taobao have become burgeoning competitors versus real stores, taking up a considerable market share.Convenience is the major attraction about online shopping. While it usually takes a whole day to wander about the malls, online shopping process is within several clicks of the mouse at home. Since the ordered goods are delivered to your doorsteps, there is no need to lug heavy bags home. Lower price is also an advantage. Online stores have lower overheads, thus reducing the costs. As a result, customers can have real bargains.However, at present, security of online shopping is still a concern for some people. There is a chance you could get ripped off by the website, or a hacker could work out the password of your credit card. What is more, customers only see the pictures online, and are sometimes dissatisfied with the actual items. After all, online shopping is an emerging thing, and we believe these problems can be solved when the market is more mature. By then people can go shopping online free of worry.第七篇:⑤Fang XiaoyuRoom 323, No. 7 BuildingNo. 1037, Longshan RoadWuhan, 430074Department of Humatt ResomcesZiguang BuildingNo. 108, Zhongguancun North RoadBeijing, 100081Dear Sir Or Madam,I learned from Being Youth Daily on Dec. 2nd that your company is offering a position for a secretary, and it's a great pleasure for me to write to explore the possibility of seeking the job.I graduated two years ago from Peking University, and obtained a bachelor's degree in business management. During my stay in the university, my major courses included economics, marketing and computer applications. I was especially food of the communication skills which enabled me to deal with people and things around well. In addition, I passed CET-6 with a high score and can speak English fluently.Before graduation I was engaged with P&G Beijing Branch as an assistant to the head of Marketing Department. The two-year experience helps me a lot in many ways. In particular, I become increasingly aware of the importance of cooperation among co-workers. I also believe the experience will qualify me for the current vacancy in your company.I enclose herein my resume end some relevant documents as required.I appreciate your kind consideration of me, and I am looking forward to an early interview with you.Sincerely yours,Fang Xiaoyu第八篇：⑥Private cars in chinaWith the improvement of people's living standards, private cars have found their way to ordinary Chinese’s homes. Remarkable national economic growth provides a strong backing for the increasing trend. Nowadays, more and more citizens are planning to buy cars. And for some better-off families, one may not be enough.People embrace private cars primarily for its convenience, which can free us from the rigid timetable and fixed route of buses and metros. Efficiency is the second attraction, since driving is usually faster than other means of transportation. This advantage becomes obvious especially in the event of emergencies when it is difficult to take a taxi. Despite these merits, contrasting arguments are equally salient. First, efficiency is usually a mirage. Frequent congestions actually render the cities huge parking lots. Second, private cars are responsible for air Pollution, as emissions of carbon dioxide and ethane contribute to global warming.Now that there seems no way to stop people from buying cars due to consumers' freedom of choice, it is almost certain that the number of private cars in China will continue to rise. If we can improve the road systems, and develop more environment-friendly cars, we may minimize the negative consequences while enjoying the benefits.。

大学英语口语考试资料(短文)

Something related to EXPO or city1. Describe one place of interest in your hometown.A: Shanghai is a modern city with lots of places of interest such as Yu Garden, the oriental pearl TV tower, Nanjing road and so on. But among all these places, the bund is my favorite one as it has been the symbol of shanghai for hundreds of years. More than 100 years ago, some famous foreign architects built masterpieces there of various building styles. Nowadays, when you walk around in the bund, you can experience the exotic atmosphere as well as enjoy the beautiful Huangpu river .in a word, the bund is a place where Chinese culture and foreign cultures meet together. It really creates a history.2. Talk about the changes in shanghai.A: With the development of science and technology, Shanghai is developing more and more quickly. As a Shanghainese , it is wonderful to see that Shanghai has changed a lot. Many years ago, there were still no big bridges and wide roads. Now , we can find big bridges, wide roads everywhere. People used to live in small rooms in narrow streets , but now most of them are living in big housing estates. Shanghai is also more beautiful than it used to be. Nowadays, you can see grass, lakes and parks here and there. In addition, the2010 Expo will be held in Shanghai as well, This makes the foreigners pay more attention to Shanghai. We are sure that Shanghai will be more beautiful and more competitive tomorrow.3. Better city, better lifeA:as we all know, the theme of Expo 2010 is "Better City, Better Life," representing a central concern of the international community for future policy making, urban strategies and sustainable development. With the progress of our society, more and more farmers hope to go to the city and enjoy a high-quality life. So villages are becoming less and less as the area of cities are growing gradually. Better city, better life. This theme has abundant meanings. It represents the common wish of the whole humankind for better living in future urban environments.4. Do you want to be a volunteer? What do you want to do forthe EXPO?A: yes, I really want to be a volunteer, you know, the expo will held soon and thousands of visitors from home and abroad will come to shanghai. As a young student, first, we can offer visitors some help to show kindness of our people .Second, being a volunteer give us more chances to communicate with foreign friends and introduce the culture of shanghai to them.in this way, the world will know more about china and china will know more about the world. Third, it is a golden opportunity for us to improve English by chatting with foreigners face to face .in conclusion, being a volunteer is worthwhile and it will be a precious experience in my life.5. what do you think of the expo?A: the 2010 World EXPO will be held in shanghai soon. The World Expo has a long history but it has never been held in china.So the 2010 World Expo is an honor for all Chinese people. As a student in Shanghai, I am also excited about that because it is a chance for us to know more about the world and let the world know more about china. on the otherhand ,the expo proves the greatness of the “reform and opening –up policy”, after 3 decades of hard words, we, Chinese people are eventually recognized by the globe and we will continue to make contributions to the world. Holding the world expo is one of them. In a word, I believe the coming expo will be an exceptional expo just like the Beijing Olympics did.Social problems1. What can we do to make our city more beautiful?A: I think we can protect the environment to make our city more beautiful. First, we can pick up litters and put them into garbage can whenever we see. Second, we should plant more trees and flowers around us as trees can take in carbon dioxide to make air cleaner. Third, We should stop factories from pouring waste water into the river or waste gas into the air as well .In a word, everyone should take action to protect the environment right now and make our city more beautiful because it is our duty to do so. Just like Gandhi said: be the change you want to see in the world. As long as everyone pays a little more attention to the environment, it will bring a significant change.2. Are you in favor of smoking? Why or why not?As far as I’m concerned, smoking should be banned in public places. As we know, smoking is harmful not only to our health but also to the environment. Smoking can lead to many diseases, such as lung cancer. Smoking affects non smokers more than it does smokers. In public places, the harm of smoking is greater. This is connected with another effect of smoking. That is, smoking pollutes environment by giving much poisonous vapour off into the air.Therefore, that thegovernment ban smoking is very necessary and important to us. It is a measure to protect our health and environment.2. What do you think of the problem of generation gap?A:In my opinion, the lack of communication, different views on certain problems and different attitudes towards life may cause the generation gap or even widen it. But how to bridge the generation gap? As far as I’m concerned, mutual understanding is very important. On one hand, parents view does reflect their concern for the well being of their children. But they should give children more freedom as they grow up and have their own views .On the other hand, children should talk with their parents and understand them well. We should respect the traditional values they brought up Therefore, it will be wise for parents and their children view each other as friends.3. Are you in favor of running red light?(queue….) Why or whynot?A: as far as I’m concerned, we shouldn’t run red lights. First, it is a social law that everyone should obey. Second, with the rapid development of our society, our moral standard should be improved at the same pace. Third, running red lights is not only dangerous to us but also bring side effects to out society.Just imagine: if a child sees you run the red light, next time, he or she will imitate that behavior .so everyone should take actions to obey the rule because it is our duty to do so. just like Gandhi said: be the change you want to see in the world. As long as everyone’s quality is improved, our society will be improved and we can expect a harmonious social environment.4. Play computer games and watch TV adsA: as far as I’m concerned, every coin has two sides. On one hand, playing computers games can make us feel relaxed after long working hours. On the other hand, if we devote ourselves to playing computer games, we will lose our precious time. You know, A plant may produce new flowers; man is young but once. Lost time is never found again. Most importantly, computer games contain a lot of bad things such as violent element which certainly have a negative effect on us. I think as a senior student, we are old enough to deal with study and relaxation, we can tell what is right from what is wrong .the only thing we need is discipline.5. knowledge gained from books or experience A:"Experience is the best teacher," people say. Indeed, the most important, and sometimes the hardest lessons we learnin life come from our participation in situations. For my part, you can't learn everything from a book. And only practice makes you a successful person. In conclusion, knowledge gained both from experience and from books have their respective roles to play in our life. However, in my view, I think the former one is more important than the latter one. The most important lessons can't be taught; they have to be experienced.6. team work or individual work.A:Nowadays, almost everyone has taken into the teamwork and teamwork is more and more important than before.as far as I’m concerned, it is necessary to work with a nice team. First, Teamwork can gather more useful information. second, Teamwork makes people put things into their right perspective. Third, Teamwork makes people take things into consideration comprehensively. Most importantly, teamwork could strengthen the responsibility of the team members. In a word, Individual commitment to a group effort — that is what makes a team work a company work, a society work, a civilization work.7.Willing to help othersA:Disabled people are normal people, except that they can not see as much as we can, or they can not walk as fast as we can.Since they can not see as much, or they can not walk as fast, they need our help.We can immediately do a long list of ways in which we can help them, for instance, Each student finds someone to help, in the neighborhood or the community. You can help them to cross the road. You can help pushtheir wheel chairs. as Winston church said:from what we get,we make a living,from what we give ,we make a life.so I hope everyone can have a wonderful and meaningful life by giving others a helping hand when they are in trouble.Personal questions1. watch tvA: i enjoy watching tv ,especially news report. Almost everyday I turn on the TV at 6:30 p.m. and wait for the news program. This has become a part of my life. The News Report contains a large amount of information from the international political situation to the latest foot-ball game. And the most important character is its fast pace. In my opinion, the News Report is more than a TV program. It is a way of communication. Through this program, people can know andunderstand world affairs. The world thus becomes smaller and smaller. I really appreciate this kind of benenfit.2. your favorite book or movieA:my favorite book/film is je. It tells us a beautiful story. Je, is a poor girl, She lived in her aunt’s house. But Her aunt didn’t like her, so she was taken to an orphanage. When Jane grew up, she worked as a governess in a big family. Bit by bit, Jane and her master Mr Rochester came to fall in love with each other. But the master had a wife. She was a madwoman. When Jane knew this, she left her teaching post. Afterwards,j’s master’ house was burnt down and R became disabledd. His mad wife also died in the big fire. However,Jane decided to get married with him and look after him.as a girl,I learned a lot from this story,it shows me humanity,equality, and equality in a girl’s spirit which I will treasure forever.3.your favorite way of relaxingA:Students need enough sports and activities to do physical exercises to relax, proper recreation will relieve the tension and discomfort of our busy life because it offers you various ways to let out your emotions. What I usually do to relax afterschool is jogging. Usually I don't spare time for exercise, but I value the PE class at school. You know,Jogging several rounds in the field certainly relieves my pressure. on the other hand, jogging makes me healthier and stronger as it strengthens my immune system. besides, I learn endurance from jogging which has a positive effect on mystudy .whatever problems I met,I can still hang in there.3. computersA:the invention of computers is one of the greatest humankind's inventions. It plays a very important role in our modern life. First of all, every company nowadays uses a computer to store its data and make different kinds of operations. it is very difficult to imagine life without computers. Secondly, computers provided a great means of communication - the Internet. Finally, in addition to these practical benefits people can go shopping without leaving their houses. With an Internet access, a computer and an online credit card, more and more people finish their shopping at home. In sum, I believe that computers made our lives easier. They change our attitude towards life and make people became closer.4. classmatesA: Every time I talk with others about my friends, I just refer to those I have met in my high School times. Because I had so many close friends around me, meanwhile, I could get on well with every one of them. When I just became a Senior three student, I had to face the Entrance Examination for College. Every friend of mine had the same dream to enter a famous university! Our main task was to study all day long, to solve so many difficult problems that we came across in the examination papers. If we had any puzzle on the solution to the questions, we could often turn to our classmates for help. and we lived in such an extremely harmonious atmosphere that few of us would forget this period of life.as Benjamin franklin said:if you want to be loved,love and be lovable.5. teacher student relationshipA:A good teacher-student relationship will make learning enjoyable and well mutually understandable. Whereas, a had relationship can discourage the student from learning and make teaching an unpleasant task. To build a better relationship with students,The teachers should change theirtraditional education-concepts and respect dignity of students.and as a student,we should communicate with our teachers more often to reduce misunderstandings.On the other hand,when teachers make mistakes, we should point out them politely. in a word, it is undoubtedly necessary to build a equal and harmonious relationship between teachers and students.7. school activitiesA:Nowadays,a large number of students show great interest in school activities.In their eyes,learning from books is not the sole task of their school career.They also wish to take every chance to obtain practical knowledge.Additionally,they find that after long hours of study,they can relax both physically and mentally by taking part in school activities.As far as I’m concerned, We can learn plenty of things from the students we meet in activities.What’s more,we can also get lots of social experience from doing so.Such experience can never be learned by being a “book-worm.”8. how to learn EnglishA: I began to learn English at the age of seven. At that time, I enjoyed learning pronunciation and tone though I hadn’t fully understood how to use grammar properly. After class, I listened to English tapes again and again. Gradually, I began to regard English as part of my life: I listened to the BBC or Voice of America news while having breakfast; read an English newspaper at breaks and got additional practice in the language chatting with foreign friends online on the weekends.In order to broaden my horizon, I created my “twitter”account last April where I met people from all walks of life: writers, officials, teachers, businessmen… Even Arnold Schwarzenegger, the governor of California, followed me on Twitter. I find that English makes my life more colorful and interesting.As I chatted with these English-speaking people, I realized that even though we are from different countries and have various cultures, we can still be good friends because of our common values. These values include things like justice, responsibility, honesty, care and love. I believe that these core qualities make a person welcome in any cultures no matter where he or she is from.1 liu xiangPeople can’t forget it was in Athens Olympic when liuxiang won the gold medal.his outstanding behavior amazed the world world .4 years later,however.in Beijing Olympics,he quit the game because of his injury. many people felt really sad about that. But I think He who wins the most challengeable honor is a hero, he who wins th e billions of people‘s hearts is a hero, he who has the courage to takea chance of losing these--honor ,is more than a hero! Liuxiang is mor e than a hero! We should give him as much support as before.2 economy and pollutionI think people should deal with the relationship between the gdp increase and ecological development. The GDP increase which is achieved at the cost of sacrificing human living environment and destroying our valuable natural resources is undoubtedly ridiculous.but how to fine the balance between these two things?from my point of view,first,laws should be made as soon as possible to make sure that our industry works sustainably.second, everyone should take action to use clean energy.in a word,it is of great importance to pay more attention to our pollution problems to create a better future.-3.expo and environmentI think expo gives us a chance to pay more attention to our environment since this expo is a green expo. In fact, Green is the eternal theme of humanity, green is the color of life. It is necessary to hold a green expo to promote sustainable development.We should do little things, and actively involved in green travel, green concept of exhibition, greenconsumption, green living. Visitors should give priority to public transportation to visit the Expo.better city,better life.let us act now to make our city shines with dazzling light.4 i n my opinion, just like the old saying “every coin has its two sides”, it maybe hard for me to decide where to live. The life in the city and in the countryside has both advantages and disadvantages. On one hand, I like the convenient service in the city, although I hate the noisy and crowded pollution. On the other hand, I enjoy the quiet and peaceful life in the countryside while I have to pay the price for inconvenience. In a word, I think the ideal style of life maybe working in the city and living in the countryside.5. After China became the Official member in WTO, and the Reform & Opening up Policy is being implemented deeper and deeper, English, as a major tool for cross-cultural communication draws everyone’s attention. People in China have been aware of this trend,so learning English has become a very important task for young students.though some people doubted that learning English may let kids forget theirmother tongue, I don’t think so,English is a basic skill in such a globlized world.in a word,since English is widely used,you can’t emphasis too much of the importance of learning English.6. attend extra lessonsnowadays,many parents spend a lot of money on childrens’attending training classes.it's true that a training class or a tutor can be helpful to a student.Hower,as a matter of fact,I don't think they are necessary.The reasons are as follows. First,students can grasp all the knowledge in their normal classes as long as they put their heart into it.Second,if a student can't do well in class,how can they in a training class? On the contrary,studying at home can improve their own study ability.Most importantly,students also need some time to relax themselves,all work no play,makes jack a dull boy.Personally , I would rather not have training class.7. pandaDuring the Cold War the panadas were given as goodwill gestures, to such a degree that the term "panda diplomacy" was coined to describe the exchange of these funny ambassadors. It's a symbol of friendship and peace. It's cute and cuddly, and sends all the right messages of goodwill," when you see their lovely faces,you really wanna hugthem.most importantly ,no other countries have pandas except china.and pandas are rare,as a result,they are precious.in a word ,I think pandas can be a nice gift .7 bicycleBicycles are widely used in china because Vast majority of chinese live not far from their offices or schools,so riding a bike will be convenient than taking a bus.on the otherhand,since bicycles are quite cheap, every family could own a bike.most importantly,riding bicycle is a good way of doing st but not least, Riding bicycle can save the energy resources.just imagine: There are 13 hundred million people in china.If every family owns a car,that would be a big waste of resources ,bringing serious air pollution.in a word,riding bicycles should be encouraged.8 pocket moneyNowadays,if children do well in examinations,parents will give them pocket money as a kind of reward.from where I stand ,it is ridiculous to do so. First,studying hard is a responsibility for a kid to shoulder.he or she must be responsible for what he or she has done.second,giving pocket money isn’t the right way to encourage children to study harder,on the contrary,that will result in a bad influence on children’s st but not least,giving too much pocket money to a child may spoil this kid since children are too young to deal with financial problems .so in a word,we shouldn’t give children pocket money by judging their marks.but we should provide more guidance for them.。

泰迪熊学英语2010年Here is an English essay on the topic "Teddy Bear Learns English 2010":Teddy Bear was excited for his first English class. He had been studying hard and couldn't wait to put his new skills to use. He arrived at the classroom and found a seat, ready to learn.The teacher, Mrs. Smith, stood at the front of the class. "Good morning class," she said. "Today we are going to practice basic greetings and introductions."Teddy Bear listened closely as Mrs. Smith modeled different ways to say hello and introduce oneself. "Hello, my name is Teddy. It's nice to meet you." He repeated the phrases, trying to perfect his pronunciation.Next, Mrs. Smith had the class practice conversing with a partner. Teddy Bear turned to the bear sitting next to him. "Hello, how are you today?" he said."I'm doing well, thank you for asking," the other bear replied. "It'snice to meet you. My name is Fluffy.""It's nice to meet you too Fluffy," Teddy Bear responded. They continued their conversation, asking questions and sharing information about themselves.Mrs. Smith walked around the classroom, listening to the students' dialogues. She stopped to speak with Teddy Bear and Fluffy. "Excellent work you two," she said with a smile. "Your conversational skills are coming along nicely."Teddy Bear beamed with pride. He was so excited to be learning English and making new friends in the process.As the class continued, they moved on to vocabulary related to the classroom. Mrs. Smith held up different objects and the students named them in English. "Pencil," "book," "chair." Teddy Bear raised his paw confidently each time, eager to showcase his knowledge.The lesson flew by, and soon it was time for the class to end. "Great job today everyone," Mrs. Smith said. "I'll see you all again next week."As Teddy Bear packed up his things, Fluffy approached him. "Would you like to get lunch together?" he asked."I'd love to!" Teddy Bear replied. The two bears headed to the cafeteria, chatting animatedly in their newly acquired English.Over the next several weeks, Teddy Bear continued to attend his English class, making steady progress. He mastered basic conversation, expanded his vocabulary, and even started learning how to read and write in the language.One day, Mrs. Smith announced that the class would be putting on a small performance for the school. "Each of you will recite a short poem or passage in English," she explained. "This is a great opportunity to showcase your skills."Teddy Bear was both excited and nervous. He spent hours practicing his chosen piece, determined to do his best. Finally, the day of the performance arrived.When it was Teddy Bear's turn, he took a deep breath and stepped up to the microphone. "Hello, my name is Teddy," he began. "Today I will be reciting a poem called 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.'" He proceeded to recite the poem flawlessly, his voice clear and confident.The audience erupted into applause when he finished. Teddy Bearbeamed with pride, basking in the success of his accomplishment. Fluffy gave him a big hug, congratulating him on a job well done.After the performance, Mrs. Smith approached Teddy Bear. "Wonderful job today," she said. "I'm so proud of the progressyou've made. Keep up the great work!"Teddy Bear could hardly contain his excitement. He had come so far in his English studies, and he knew there was still more to learn. But for now, he was simply grateful for the opportunity to use his new skills and share them with others.As he walked home from class, Teddy Bear couldn't stop smiling. He was living proof that with hard work and dedication, anything is possible. He couldn't wait to see what the future held for him as an English language learner.。

2010年BEC高级口语考试素材

2010年BEC高级口语考试素材Identify the Differences ：Five Fundamental Patterns of Cultural Differences了解不同：中西文化差异的五种基本模式1.Different Communication Styles不同的交流风格The way people communicate varies widely between, and even within, cultures. One aspect of communication style is language usage. Across cultures, some words and phrases are used in different ways. For example, even in countries that share the English language, the meaning of "yes" varies from "maybe, I'll consider it" to "definitely so," with many shades in between.Another major aspect of communication style is the degree of importance given to non-verbal communication. Non-verbal communication includes not only facial expressions and gestures; it also involves seating arrangements, personal distance, and sense of time. In addition, different norms regarding the appropriate degree of assertiveness in communicating can add to cultural misunderstandings. For instance, some white Americans typically consider raised voices to be a sign that a fight has begun, while some Asian, African, Jewish and Italian Americans often feel that an increase in volume is a sign of an exciting conversation among friends.Thus, some white Americans may react with greater alarm to a loud discussion than would members of some American ethnic or non-white racial groups.2.Different Attitudes Toward Conflict对待冲突的态度不同Some cultures view conflict as a positive thing, while others view it as something to be avoided. In the U.S., , conflict is not usually desirable; but people often are encouraged to deal directly with conflicts that do arise. In fact, face-to-face meetings customarily are recommended as the way to work through whatever problems exist. In contrast, in many Eastern countries, open conflict is experienced as embarrassing or demeaning; as a rule, differences are best worked out quietly. A written exchange might be the favored means to address the conflict.3.Different Approaches to Completing Tasks采用不同方法去完成任务From culture to culture, there are different ways that people move toward completing tasks. Some reasons include different access to resources, different judgments of the rewards associated with task completion, different notions of time, and varied ideas about how relationship-building and task-oriented work should go together.When it comes to working together effectively on a task, culturesdiffer with respect to the importance placed on establishing relationships early on in the collaboration. A case in point, Asian and Hispanic cultures tend to attach more value to developing relationships at the beginning of a shared project and more emphasis on task completion toward the end as compared with Americans. Americans tend to focus immediately on the task at hand, and let relationships develop as they work on the task. This does not mean that people from any one of these cultural backgrounds are more or less committed to accomplishing the task, or value relationships more or less; it means they may pursue them differently.4.Different Decision-Making Styles不同的做决定的风格The roles individuals play in decision-making vary widely from culture to culture. For example, in the U.S., decisions are frequently delegated -- that is, an official assigns responsibility for a particular matter to a subordinate. In many Southern European and Latin American countries, there is a strong value placed on holding decision-making responsibilities oneself. When decisions are made by groups of people, majority rule is a common approach in the U.S.; in Asia consensus is the preferred mode. Be aware that individuals' expectations about their own roles in shaping a decision may be influenced by their cultural frame of reference.5.Different Attitudes Toward Disclosure对待披露/曝光的态度不同In some cultures, it is not appropriate to be frank about emotions, about the reasons behind a conflict or a misunderstanding, or about personal information. Keep this in mind when you are in a dialogue or when you are working with others. When you are dealing with a conflict, be mindful that people may differ in what they feel comfortable revealing. Questions that may seem natural to you -- What was the conflict about? What was your role in the conflict? What was the sequence of events? -- may seem intrusive to others. The variation among cultures in attitudes toward disclosure is also something to consider before you conclude that you have an accurate reading of the views, experiences, and goals of the people with whom you are working.1、Customer Relations: how to maintain customer interest in a company’s productsAs is know to all, it is very important for a company to maintain customer interest in their products. I think a company should try every possible way to retain its current customers.First, it should always make sure that it provides its customers with quality goods and after-sales service. Second, it should lay enough emphasis on the feedback from its currentcustomers and take prompt action to take care of their needs and demands. Third, if possible it may provide some incentives to its old customers. For example, it can grant a certain discount to them if their purchases reach a certain amount. Apart from all these, a company should design strategies to attract new customers and create transactions with them, to expand their customer base, so to speak. These strategies include product diversification and upgrading.All in all, a company should try its utmost to keep its current customers satisfied with its products and services, and at the same time it should stay ahead of the market through product and pricing strategies.2、How to fill a key vacancyIn order to fill a key vacancy, a company will usually follow the same standard procedure.It will begin by producing an accurate job description of what it would like the successful candidate to do. From this, it can then produce a profile of this ideal candidate, which is a list of skills, experience, attributes and d so on.Having produced this profile, the company must then decide on the best recruitment method to capture a candidate with this profile. This might be an internal advertisement or an externaladvertisement in a newspaper, on the Internet say, even an agency or perhaps a headhunter.Having decided on the best recruitment method, the advertisements are then placed or the headhunter contacted and a list of candidates will be then drawn up to be put through the company’s recruitment processes. This might be interviews, psychometric tests or even hand-writing analysis. This will then produce the ideal candidate for the company.The company will then have to negotiate terms with this candidate and, hopefully, this will result in terms which are both affordable for the company and attractive enough to get the candidate they want.Background Information3、Career Planning: how to assess the career opportunities provided by different types of companiesCareer planning:Even after a job is offered and accepted, career decisions must be made. On-the-job experience may affect the desired path. Aspiring to achieve a position above the present position is natural. The planned career path to that position may involve either a series of promotions within the firm or switching to a different firm. While planning a career path is a useful motivator, the plans should beachievable. If everyone planned to be president of a company, most plans would not be achieved. This can cause frustration. A preferable career path would include short-term goals, since some ultimate goals may take twenty years or longer. The use of short-term goals can reinforce confidence as goals are achieved.Career Development: the importance of acquiring a range of skills throughout your careerIt is important a person to have a range of skills in the course of his career development. When he has a range of skills, he is obviously more competitive than those who don’t and therefore has more chances of promotion. And it will be easier for him to find a job outside his company if he is not satisfied with his present job. In addition, a person with a range of skills is more likely to work his way up to the top of the corporate laddera) 五官法。

2010年BEC高级口语考试素材(2

2010 年 BEC 高级口语考试素材(2 As is know to all, it is very important for a company to maintain customer interest in their products. I think a company should try every possible way to retain its current customers.First,it should always make sure that it provides its customers with quality goods and after-sales service. Second, it should lay enough emphasis on the feedback from its current customers and take prompt action to take care of their needs and demands. Third, if possible it may provide some incentives to its old customers.For example,it can grant a certain discount to them if their purchases reach a certain amount. Apart from all these, a company should design strategies to attract new customers and create transactions with them, to expand their customer base, so to speak.These strategies include product diversification and upgrading.All in all, a company should try its utmost to keep its current customers satisfied with its products and services,and at the same time it should stay ahead of the market through product and pricing strategies.2、How to fill a key vacancyIn order to fill a key vacancy, a company will usually follow the same standard procedure.It will begin by producing an accurate job description of what it would like the successful candidate to do. From this, it can then produce a profile of this ideal candidate, which is a list of skills, experience,attributes and so on.Having produced this profile,the company must then decide on the best recruitment method to capture a candidate with this profile.This might be an internal advertisement or an external advertisement in a newspaper, on the Internet say, even an agency or perhaps a headhunter.Having decided on the best recruitment method,the advertisements are then placed or the headhunter contacted and a list of candidates will be then drawn up to be put through the company’s recruitment processes.This might be interviews, psychometric tests or even hand-writing analysis.This will then produce the ideal candidate for the company.The company will then have to negotiate terms with this candidate and, hopefully, this will result in terms which are both affordable for the company and attractive enough to get the candidate they want.Background Information3、Career Planning: how to assess the career opportunities provided by different types of companiesCareer planning:Even after a job is offered and accepted,career decisions mustbe made. On-the-job experience may affect the desired path. Aspiring to achieve a position above the present position is natural. The planned career path to that position may involve either a series of promotions within the firm or switching to a different firm. While planning a career path is a useful motivator, the plans should be achievable. If everyone planned to be president of a company, most plans would not be achieved.This can cause frustration. A preferable career path would include short-term goals,since some ultimate goals may take twenty years or longer. The use of short-term goals can reinforce confidence as goals are achieved.Career Development:the importance of acquiring a range of skills throughout your careerIt is important a person to have a range of skills in the course of his career development. When he has a range of skills, he is obviously more competitive than those who don’t and therefore has more chances of promotion. And it will be easier for him to find a job outside his company if he is not satisfied with his present job. In addition, a person with a range of skills is more likely to work his way up to the top of the corporate ladder. 来。

2010年六级听力

Section A 短对话（11~18） 11 W: This is one of our best and least expensive two-bedroom listings. It’s located in a quiet building and it’s close to bus lines. M: That maybe true. But look at it, it’s awful, the paint has peeled off and carpet is worn and the stove is ancient. Q: What can we infer from the conversation? 12 M: The pictures we took at the botanical garden should be ready tomorrow. W: I can’t wait to see them, I’m wondering if the shots I took are as good as I thought. Q: What is the woman eager to know? 13 W: The handle of the suitcase is broken. Can you have it fixed by next Tuesday? M: Let me see, I need to find a handle that matches but that shouldn’t take too long. Q: What does the man mean? 14 M: This truck looks like what I need but I’m worried about maintenance. For us it’ll have to operate for long periods of time in very cold temperatures. W: We have several models that are especially adaptive for extreme conditions. Would you like to see them? Q: What do we learn about the man from the conversation? 15 M: I think your boss would be very upset when he gets your letter of resignation. W: That may be so. But in the letter, I just told him frankly I could no longer live with his poor management and stupid decisions. Q: What do we learn about the woman? 16 W I’d like to exchange the shirt. I’ve learned that the person bought it for allergic to wool. M Maybe we can find something in cotton or silk. Please come this way. Q；What does the women want to do？ 17 M: Excuse me, Miss？Did anyone happen to turn in a new handbag?You know, it’s a birthday gift for my wife. W: Let me see. Oh, we’ve got quite a lot of women’s bags here. Can you give me more detailed information, such as the color, the size and the trademark? Q: Where does this conversation most probably take place? 18 M What are you going to do with the old house you are in heritage from your grandfather? W I once intended to sell it, but now, I’m thinking of turning it into a guest house, because it's still a solid structure. Q: What does the man plan to do with his old house? 长对话（19~25） W: When you write a novel, do you know where you’re going, Dr. James? M: Yes, you must, really, if you’re writing the classical detective story, because it must be so carefully plotted and so carefully clued. I have schemes. I have charts. I have diagrams. It doesn’t mean to say that I always get it right, but I do plan before I begin writing. But what is so fascinating is how a book changes during the process of writing. It seems to me that creative writing is a process of revelation, really, rather than of creativity in the ordinary sense. W: When you’re planning the basic structure, do you like to go away to be sure that you’re by yourself? M: I need to be by myself certainly, absolutely. I can’t even bare anybody else in the house. I don’t mind much where I am as long as I’ve got enough space to write, but I need to be completely alone. W: Is that very important to you? M: Oh, yes. I’ve never been lonely in all my life. W: How extraordinary! Never? M: No, never. W: You’re very lucky. Someone once said that there’s a bit of ice at the heart of every writer. M: Yes. I think this is true. The writer can stand aside from experience and look at it, watch it happening. There is this ‘detachment’ and I realize that there are obviously experiences which would overwhelm everyone. But very often, a writer can appear to stand aside, and this detachment makes people feel there’s a bit of ice in the heart. Questions 19 to 21 are based on the conversation you have just heard. 19. What is the key to write a good classical detective story according tothe man? 20. What does the man mainly need when working on a book? 21. What does the man say about writers? W: There is an element there about competition then, isn’t there? Because British railways are a nationalized industry. There’s only one railway system in the country. If you don’t like a particular kind of big beans, you can go and buy another. But if you don't like a particular railway, you can’t go and use another. M: Some people who write to me say this. They say that if you didn’t have monopoly, you wouldn’t be able to do the things you do. Well, I don’t think we do anything deliberately to upset our customers. We have particular problems. Since 1946, when the Transport Act came in, we were nationalized. W: Do you think that’s a good thing? Has it been a good thing for the railways, do you think, to be nationalized? M: Oh I think so, yes. Because in general, modes of transport are all around. Let’s face the fact. The car arrived. The car is here to stay. There is no question about that. W: So what are you saying then? Is it if the railways happen being nationalized, they would simply have disappeared? M: Oh, I think they would have. They’re disappearing fast in America. Er, the French railways lose 1 billion ponds a year. The German railways, 2 billion ponds a year. But you see, those governments are preparing to pour money into the transport system to keep it going. W: So in a sense, you cope between two extremes. On the one hand, you’re trying not to lose too much money. And on the other hand, you’ve got to provide the best service. M: Yes, you are right. Questions 22 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard. 22. What does the woman say about British railways? 23. What do some people who write to the man complain about? 24. What does the man say threatens the existence of railways? 25. What does the man say about railways in other countries? Section B Passage One Among global warming’s most frightening threats is the prediction is that the polar ice-caps will melt, raising sea level so much that coastal cities from New York to Los Angles to Shanghai will be flooded. Scientists agree that key player in this scenario is the West Antarctic ice sheet, a Brazil-sizemass of frozen water that is much as 7000 feet thick. Unlike floating ice shelves which have little impact on sea level when they break up, the ice sheet is anchored to bedrock will blow the sea surface. Surrounded by open ocean, it is also vulnerable, but Antarctic experts disagree strongly on just how unstable it is. Now, new evidence reveals that all or most of the Antarctic ice sheet collapsed at least once during the past 1.3 million years, a period when global temperatures probably were not significantly higher than they are today. And the ice sheet was assumed to have been stable. In geological time, a million years is recent history. The proof, which was published last week in Science, comes from a team of scientists from Uppsala University in Sweden and California Institute of Technology who drew deep holes near the edge of ice sheet. Within samples collected from the solid substances lying beneath the ice. They found fossils of microscopic marine plants which suggest that the region was once open ocean not solid ice. As Herman Engleheart, a co-author from the California Institute of Technology says, ‘the West Antarctic ice sheet disappear once and can disappear again.’ 26. What is one of the most frightening threats of global warming according to the passage? 27. What did scientists disagree on? 28. What is the latest information revealed about the West Antarctic ice sheet? 29. What the scientists’ latest findings suggest? Passage Two It's always fun to write about research that you can actually try out for yourself. Try this: Take a photo and upload it to Facebook, then after a day or so, note what the URL link to the picture is and then delete it. Come back a month later and see if the link works. Chances are: It will. Facebook isn't alone here. Researchers at Cambridge University have found that nearly half of the social networking sites don't immediately delete pictures when a user requests they be removed. In general, photo-centric websites like Flickr were found to be better at quickly removing deleted photos upon request. Why do "deleted" photos stick around so long? The problem relates to the way data is stored on large websites: While your personal computer only keeps one copy of a file, large-scale services like Facebook rely on what are called content delivery networks to manage data and distribution. It's a complex system wherein data is copied to multiple intermediate devices, usually to speed up access to files when millions of people are trying toaccess the service at the same time. But because changes aren't reflected across the content delivery networks immediately, ghost copies of files tend to linger for days or weeks. In the case of Facebook, the company says data may hang around until the URL in question is reused, which is usually "after a short period of time", though obviously that time can vary considerably. 30. What does the speaker ask us to try out? 31. What accounts for the failure of some websites to remove photos immediately? 32. When will the unwanted data eventually disappear from Facebook according to the company? Passage Three Enjoying an iced coffee? Better skip dinner or hit the gym afterwards, with a cancer charity warning that some iced coffees contain as many calories as a hot dinner. The World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) conducted a survey of iced coffees sold by some popular chains in Britain including Starbucks, Caffe Nero and Costa Coffee to gauge the calories as studies increasingly link obesity with cancer. The worst offender - a coffee from Starbucks -- had 561 calories. Other iced coffees contained more than 450 calories and the majority had an excess of 200. Health experts advise that the average woman should consume about 2,000 calories a day and a man about 2,500 calories to maintain a healthy weight. Dieters aim for 1,000 to 1,500 calories a day. "The fact that there is an iced coffee on the market with over a quarter of a woman's daily calories allowance is alarming," Dr Rachel Thompson, science programme manager at London-based WCRF, said in a widely-reported statement. "This is the amount of calories you might expect to have in an evening meal, not in a drink." The WCRF has estimated that 19,000 cancers a year in Britain could be prevented if people lost their excess weight with growing evidence that excess body fat increases the risk of various cancers. "If you are having these types of coffee regularly then they will increase the chances of you becoming overweight, which in turn increases your risk of developing cancer, as well as other diseases such as heart disease." she added. 33. What warning did some health experts give? 34. What does the author suggest people do after they have an icedcoffee? 35. What could British people expect if they maintain a normal body weight according to the WCRF? Section C Psychologists are finding that hope plays a surprisingly vital role in giving people a measurable advantage in rounds as diverse as academic achievement, bearing up in tough jobs, and coping with tragic illness. And, by contrast, the loss of hope, is turning out to be a stronger sign that a person may commit suicide than other factors long thought to be more likely risks.‘Hope has proven a powerful predictor of outcome in every study we've done so far,’ said Doctor Charles R. Snyder, a psychologist, who has devised a scale to assess how much hope a person has. For example, in research with 3920 college students, Doctor Snyder and his colleagues found that the level of hope among freshmen at the beginning of their first semester was a more accurate predictor of their college grades, than were their SAT scores or their grade point averages in high school, the two measures most commonly used to predict college performance. ‘Students with high hope set themselves higher goals and know how to work to attain them,’ Doctor Snyder said.‘When you compare students of equivalent intelligence and past academic achievements, what sets them apart is hope.’ In devising a way to assess hope scientifically, Doctor Snyder went beyond the simple notion that hope is merely the sense that everything will turn out all right. ‘That notion is not concrete enough and it blurs two key components of hope,’ Doctor Snyder said, ‘Having hope means believing you have both the will and the way to accomplish your goals, whatever they may be.’。

2010职称英语简单版

1.English is a Crazy Language 英语是一门疯狂的语言1.让我们接受现实吧--英语是一种疯狂的语言。

茄子（eggplant，字面意为鸡蛋植物）里并没有鸡蛋，汉堡包（hamburger，字面意为火腿夹饼）里也没有火腿。

同样，菠萝（pineapple，字面意为松树苹果）里既没有松鼠也没有苹果。

松饼（English muffin，字面意为英式松饼）并不是英国人发明的，而炸薯条（French fries，字面意为法式油炸食品）也不是法国人的发明。

“甜肉”（sweetmeat）指的是蜜饯，而“甜面包”（sweetbread）不是甜的，它指的是牛杂碎。

2.我们理所当然地接受了英语的一切，但是如果我们分析一下英语中似是而非的情况，我们马上就会发现“快的沙子”（quicksand，流沙，也指陷阱，困境）往往走得很慢，“拳击的圆圈”（boxing rings，拳击场）是方的，“几内亚猪”（guinea pig，天竺鼠）既不是来自几内亚，也不是猪。

还有，既然名词作家（writers）去掉词尾的rs 就可以成为动词“写作(write）”，那为什么名词“手指”（fingers）、杂货店（grocers）、锤子（hammers）去掉rs就不能成为各自相应的动词呢？如果牙齿的复数是teeth，那为什么售货亭的复数不是beeth？一只鹅我们用goose，两只鹅用geese，那么，一只驼鹿用moose（单复数同形），两只驼鹿就应该是meese了？为什么一条索引是index，两条索引却成了indices？3.如果你赔偿时只能赔偿复数不能赔偿单数，这是不是很莫名其妙？你可以梳理历史的编年史，为什么却不能复习某一个单个的编年史？如果你有一堆麻烦，那么在你把其他的都解决了只剩下一个的时候该怎么说呢？4.如果教师教学是taught，那为什么传教士不是praught？如果素食主义者（vegetarian）吃蔬菜（vegetable），那人道主义者（humanitarian）吃什么？5.有时候我觉得根据英国人说话时疯狂的用词可以将他们送进精神病院。

酒店英语口语(完整版)

Do you want some tea? Could you like some tea?您要喝茶吗？请问您想喝茶吗？Over here, please. Could you come this way please?这边请。

请您往这边走好吗？* 不要说OK, Sure, Yeah等等，而要说Certainly, Sir.* Hey, uh-huh, Hang on 等等，也不适合在酒店中使用。

* 别说“I don’t know.”回答“不知道”是非常不礼貌的说法。

可以说“just a moment, please. I’ll check that for you.” （请稍候，我来帮您确认），然后请有能力处理的人前来协助。

* 对男性客人，尊称为Sir; 面对女性客人时尊称为Ms.在招呼客人时，最好说“Excuse me, Sir(Ms)”, 不要直接称呼Mr.或Ms. 至于称呼小孩，可以直接使用Excuse me，但是不可以直接称呼boy或girl.* 正视对方的眼睛，以显示出你的信心和诚意。

但必须注意，注视对方的眼睛，并不是无理地盯着对方看。

* 在面对语言不通的外籍人士时，一定要多加利用手势和肢体语言。

但是使用手势时要特别小心，因为对于不同国家、民族而言，手势的意义也大不相同。
