Men who were at war with them would hear these sounds and run away. They thought those strange sounds were made by gods（神）in the sky.The ancient Chinese also flew kites to bring good luck and to make their crops grow rich and tall. Sometimes they tied long strings （细绳）and hooks （钩）to their kites. Then they would fly the kites over water，letting the hooks hang down to catch fish.The Chinese use sticks，strings and paper for their kites. Some of these kites look like animals or trees.

It was lunchtime and he felt very hungry. “Well, here is a restaurant. I am going to have something to eat.” He walked towards the restaurant when he saw the notice. “American people are really strange. They even eat dinners on the house! But how can I get up to the top of the house?” he said to himself. He looked around and found a ladder against a tree nearby. He was very glad. But as he reached the top he heard someone shouting at him.“Hey, what are you doing up there?” Mr. Smith was looking at him angrily and beside him was a policeman.“Doesn‟t your notice say …Meals on the House for Three Days‟? Is it just a joke?” the foreign student answered.Hearing this, both Mr. Smith and the policeman la ughed. “Do you know what ON THE HOUSE mean? Look it up in the dictionary.” the policeman suggested (建议).( )1. How did Mr. and Mrs. Smith attract customers?A. They played a lot of jokes on them.B. They offered them meals 24 hours a day.C.

In the last forty years, business contacts between Japan and the West have become very important. Many foreign companies now have offices in Japan and Japanese businessmen do business around the world. Differences between Japanese and Western ways of doing business, however, often bewilder foreign businessmen and make doing business in Japan difficult for foreigners.The American businessman, for example, wants to start talking business immediately. He does not want to wait. The Japanese businessman, on the other hand, likes to arrive at decisions after giving them serious thought. Another thing foreign businessmen have difficulty in understanding is when a Japanese means "Yes" or "No". This is because of cultural differences between Japanese and Western society(社会), Which make it difficult for a Japanese to say "No" directly.In the USA, it is easy to say "No" to something one does not want to do. But in Japan, it is very difficult to say "No". To refuse an invitation or a request(请求) with "No" is felt to be impolite. It is thought to be selfish and unfriendly. So instead of saying "No" directly, the Japanese have developed many ways to avoid(避免) saying "No". These can help them avoid hurting other people's feelings. However, this often makes their ways of doing business rather difficult for foreigners to understand and follow.( ) 1. What often makes foreigners feel difficult to do business in Japan?A. Their different ways of doing business.B. Their different lifestyles.C. The fact that the Japanese never say "No".D. The fact that the Japanese are slow to take action.( ) 2. Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined expression "bewilder foreign businessmen" in Paragraph One?A. cause foreign businessmen to change their minds.B. give a feeling of surprise to foreign businessmen.C. attract foreign businessmen's attention.D. make foreign businessmen think wrongly.( ) 3. What fact does the passage lead you to believe?A. American businessmen do things more slowly than Japanese ones.B. American businessmen like to say "Yes" and "No".C. Americans usually say what they are thinking.D. Americans do not say what they think or feel clearly.( ) 4. From the passage we can infer(推断) that __________.A. Japanese businessmen are good at businessB. foreign businessmen should try to know Japanese ways of doing businessC. foreign businessmen must be more politeD. you must learn from Japanese businessmen if you want to succeed第二卷五．词汇运用1. Blake has a lot of interesting __________(经历). He has been to at least 20 countries and areas.2. The police are going to look ______________(进一步) into the case.3.

It _2____ leads to rote memorization of isolated facts during the pre-test period of study. __3_____ the questions on the objective test are presented in a true-false or multi-choice form, the student may be encouraged to guess answers to which he has no accurate knowledge about.The essay exam, ___4____, usually consists of a few broadly stated questions that require the student to organize his responses in an essay.

This type of exam __5____ relies on factual information, but there is far greater necessity for the student to demonstrate analytical and compositional skills. Mere guessing at answers is reduced to a minimum.III. Choosing Thesis Statements. (16%)Circle the best thesis statement for each of the following paragraphs.1. a. If you want to send a package from the U.S., you must go to the post office.b. Sending a package from the U.S. is not difficult if you follow these simple instructions.c. If you want a package to arrive at its destination fast, send it first class.First, wrap you package well.

Last Monday evening, two men robbed the home of Juan Lopez of Kentwood Avenue.b. Two men took Juan Lopez’s television set.c. Last Monday, the police arrived at Juan Lopez’s home at 1:20 a.m.At 1:00 a. m., Mr. Lopez was sleeping upstairs when he heard noises downstairs. He went downstairs and saw two men going out the front door with his television set. He waited until they had left, and then he called the police. They arrived at 1:20 a.m. Mr. Lopez gave them a description of the two men and filled out a crime report. The criminals have not yet been caught.3.a. I’d bet that if scientifically analyzed, waiting in line would prove to be a major contribution tostress in human beings.b. The experience of waiting in line last summer exhausted me.c. When waiting in line, all we have to do is stand there and move a little, and just stand theresome more.For instance, last summer I found myself waiting in long lines seven times in one day! It all started when I decided to treat my wife and kids to a Cleveland Indians baseball game. To start off, we needed gasoline. As I waited eight cars back from the pump, I alternately drummed my fingers and checked my watch. My stomach knotted as I realized that instead of arriving comfortably early, I’d be lucky to get a decent parking space at Cleveland Stadium. After a twenty-minute wait at the parking area as hundreds of cars inched along, we parked, hiked to Gate A and were confronted by about eight hundred anticipants, filing ever so slowly through the metal barriers. Once inside, we had to fight the crowds at the souvenir stand. Although you couldn’t call what I was in a line, I had to wait eight minutes to spend $20, get three bruises, and very possibly a broken toe.4.a. My parents were working at a dry cleaner.b. My parents workrd very hard at a dry cleaner, and they were quite skillful at cleaning and pressing garments.c. I could see in my parents’faces the grief and the hardship of working at a dry cleaner.My parents had to fulfil certain quotas: Several hundred garments—shirts, pants, and other clothing—had to be cleaned and pressed per day. By themselves, every day, they did an amount of work that should have taken four laborers to complete. The musicles of my mother’s shoulders and arms became as firm as iron from working with the press, which is considered a difficult job even for a man. In addition to pressing, my father washed the clothes in the machines, which is the reason a strong odor of oil was permanently embedded in his working clothes.IV. Answer the questions and supply the missing paragraph.(14 %)The following passage is incomplete with one body paragraph missing．Study the passage carefully twice. Answer the questions and write the missing paragraph in about l00 words．What Makes a Good Job?When I was in high school, the only consideration I looked for in a job were which job paid the most and which had the best schedule. Now that I’ve had more experience, however, I’ve found that job satisfaction is an even more important consideration.The job I took after my freshman year at college was certainly satisfying in terms of pay and schedule. This job, in the office of a vocational center for women, attracted me mainly because the pay was so good. As for the schedule, I never had to arrive earlier than 9 A. M. or leave later than 5 P.M. After about a week in this job, however, I was bored. Since I did not have a social work degree or counselling experience, I was not allowed to work with clients. Instead, my duties were to handle the office’s paperwork. I keyboarded and filed correspondence and filled out countless forms. I soon realized that the good pay and the pleasant schedule didn’t make up for my general job dissatisfation. The time seed to creep by.When I began my job hunt at the end of my second year in college, I looked less at the pay and schedule of available jobs and more at whether the jobs had any people contact. Luckily, I found what I had been looking for in a job waiting on tables at the local coffee shop. Compared to the office job, waiting on tables did not shine in terms of pay or schedule. Although my average weekly pay was roughly equal to my office salary, the pay varied from week to week because I depended on tips for much of my income. Additionally, my schedule was more hectic than the office schedule had been. The hours were longer, and I worked odd shifts that changed from week to week. Even with the unpredictable pay and hour, however, I enjoyed my job. Juggling different tasks and being on my feet all day were demanding , but time passed very quickly. Moreover, the job gave me ample opportunity to use my skills with people. I loved the contace I had with customers. These favorable working conditions far outweighed the disadvantages of less steady pay and more strenuous work than my old office job.1.Which sentence is the thesis statement?

(10%)Scientific Discovery—Bless or Curse______________(1)________________________________. We live in a circumstance in which scientific discoveries bring us much convenience, comfort and enjoyment. For example, transportation progress makes us go out to any places we want to. Electrical home appliances like air-conditioner, washing machine and refrigerator make our life comfortable. TV and radio supply us with as much information, knowledge and amusement as possible. In fact, there are many otherblessings that scientific discoveries have brought about.Yet sometimes scientific discoveries may prove a curse upon human race because some scientific discoveries overuse our scarce resources or pollute our environment. Moreover, some discoveries like atom bombs aggravate the conflicts between human beings and can kill more people than ever before.The misuse of scientific discoveries must be prevented. It demands people all over the world to struggle with various bad phenomena. Laws and treaties preventing the misuse should be made among countries on earth. Also the propaganda against the misuse should be strengthened that more people will realize the serious consequences the misuse will lead to.

Answer the questions and write the missing paragraph in about l00 words．Manners Are ImportantAs one looks about,it becomes very easy to conclude that good manners seem to be a thing of the past.More and more people seem to be discourteous to one another, more indicative of a “survival of the fittest”attitude than of living in a civilized society.Although much of what was considered good manners at the turn of the last century may no longer be appropriate,common courtesy and acceptable behavior are still necessary to make life pleasant, especially as our cities become more and more crowded. Although common courtesy is the underlying framework, good manners are manifested in two distinct aresa,business and social relationships.The world of business has become increasingly impersonal over the years.The fast developement of computers has removed the personal touch from many business dealings.It is not uncommon, when phoning a company, to get a recorded message telling us which number to press. When we finally do get a live person on the other end, he often seems uncaring. Good business sense,though,would dictate the importance of getting back to the personal touch.The speaker should identify himself by name to the caller and make every effort to be courteous and helpful. Above all, he should take great pains to assure the call is not disconnected. In addition,he should make certain that the caller is connected to his party and not kept waiting long while listening to canned music. Good manners will assure happy, loyal customers.Good manners are, perhaps,most frequently associated with socialrelationships.Unfortunately, here again they seem to be in decline.Giving up one's seat on a crowded bus to an elderly person, a pregnant woman,or an obviously tired person seems to be a thing of the past.People also seem to have forgotten how to behave as an audience. It is not uncommon to see people putting their feet up on the seats in front of them or talking loudly during a movie or play.Even restaurants are not immune from the lack of good manners.Young parents do not seem to care that their children are roaming throughout the restaurant or are crying and disturbing the other guests.These examples touch only the surface of the rapid decline of good manners.1.Which sentence is the thesis statement?

For questions 1-7, choose the best answer from the four choices marked A), B), C) and D). For questions 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.The History of JewelryRhinestones have a glittering past. Originally rhinestones were referred to Czechoslovakian or Bohemian glass dating as far back as the 13th century in Bohemia and the Czech Republic. Both places have a history steeped in beautiful hand blown glass as well as molded and cut glass.By 1918 glass was no longer limited to functional items. Czechoslovakian glass began to make its appearance in dazzling and brilliant jewelry. This Czech glass became known as rhinestones.Rhinestones were manmade gems from highly refined glass. By using various metals the glass was colored to the desired shade. It was then pressed into molds. Each stone was then ground and polished by machine, resulting in a brilliant glass stone. Often the stones were foiled on the back which increased their brilliance.Today, the same refining process is still used. You will often hear rhinestones referred to as paste. Originally paste was referred to a glass stone that was made of ground glass which was molded and then melted, producing an opaque dense glass frosted stone. Paste had many air bubbles and swirl marks. The high lead content glass was then polished and faceted, and set on either copper or silver resulting in a brilliant stone. Today the term “paste”usually refers to rhinestones. In Europe rhinestones are often referred to as paste, strass, and diamante.Austria is another area with a history in rhinestone production. In 1891 Daniel Swarovski created a new glass cutting machine which quite literally revolutionized the jewelry business. This machine could cut faceted glass, producing finely finished product in a very short time. Prior to this invention it would take a very long time for each stone to be cut by hand and finished. Swarovski’s background in glass making, combined with his glass cutting machine soon found him producing rhinestones with a lead content of over 30%. The brilliance of these rhinestones was superior to anything seen on the market. Swarovski wasn’t content with his invention and the best rhinestones ever seen. His next invention was once again transforming to the jewelry industry. He created a vacuum plating for the backs of the stones with silver and gold, reducing the need forhand labor. Still today Swarovski rhinestones are recognized as the highest quality in the industry. Over 80% of rhinestone jewelry manufactured in America use Swarovski rhinestones.Rhinestones have played an important role in costume jewelry for hundreds of years. It is used to enhance and decorate the costumes, and sometimes rhinestones will provide the entire design. During the Victorian period common design patterns for jewelry included snakes, flowers, and hands most often adorned with rhinestones.The 1890s were a time for extravagant jewelry heavily with rhinestones. As time moved forward designs became simpler with figural shapes once again making their fashion statement. However this time they were small and more elegant with small rhinestone decorations.During the Edwardian period extravagance had made a comeback with diamonds and pearls being the focal point. Once again rhinestones were in heavy use, often used to imitate the real thing.During the 1920s fashions were rapidly changing. Dresses had gone from tight, fitted to a looser, more comfortable style. Two distinct styles occurred during this ear --- the feminine style and the androgynous style (having both female and male characteristics). Jewelry from the 1920s drew on the art decoration period. The majority of rhinestone jewelry was made with clear rhinestones.As the 1920s moved jewelry once again became bolder. Dramatic color was in style. Designer Coco Chanel was an integral figure in setting the stage for jewelry of this era.During the 1930s, during the Depression, labor-intensive fashion was no longer feasible. While the world in chaos, jewelry represented an affordable comfort to many women. Inexpensive costume jewelry could be used to revitalize an old outfit. The industry began to produce bright colored enamel pieces decorated with rhinestones. Dogs, birds, or cats with a rhinestone eye were commonplace.The jewelry during 1940s once again became big and bold with rhinestones being produced in every imaginable color, large stones set on large bold setting was the norm.By the 1950s there were two very distinct looks --- elegant and sophisticated for the more mature woman, and casual and fun for the younger woman. The 1950s saw jewelry that were made completely from rhinestones. For the younger woman were flirty prices, for the older woman sophisticated elegance. Whole sets of rhinestones jewelry became extremely popular.In 1953 the aurora borealis rhinestone was introduced to the market with its fabulous array of color. It was an instant hit.By 1906s women were wearing very functional clothing. By the late 1960s the hippie fashions were extremely popular with their roots tied to Mother Nature. Tie dyed shirts, long flowing skirts, frayed jeans were everywhere. This generation had no interest in rhinestone jewelry.By the mid 1970s, the punk look had been born and the rhinestone was revitalized. It was the disco movement brought the rhinestone back to center stage. The disco movement turned into the club movement during the 1980s and rhinestone jewelry continued to gain popularity.Since the 1970s rhinestones have remained main stream in the jewelry world. They continue to gain popularity and today there is a style to suit almost every one’s needs. There is rhinestone jewelry which is perfect for a bride, rhinestone jewelry for a prom girl, rhinestone jewelry for the young and fun crowd, the business woman, the sophisticated woman, and the mature woman. Beautiful pieces of rhinestone jewelry adorn almost every woman’s accessories.If trends are an indication of the rhinestones future, it appears to have a brilliant healthy life ahead of it. Pleasing for most women with a fashion sense who instantly recognize the value and beauty of rhinestones!1.

I thought, at the time, 22this was just a story but then I 23 it with my own eyes many times.On the afternoon I arrived at the station, as I was I sorting out my' accommodation, I heard a loud noise 24 from the bay.

But I knew it wasn't a 26."That's Old Tom, the killer," one of the whalers, George, called out to me. "He'stelling us there's a whale out there for us."Another whaler 27out, "Rush-oo ...rush-oo."

A few minutes later, there was no Tom, so George started beating the water with his oar and there was Tom, 35 back to the boat, leading us to the hunt again.Using a telescope we could see that 36 was happening. As we drew closer, I could see a whale being attacked by a 37 of about six other killers."What're they doing?" I asked George."Well, it's teamwork - the killers over there are throwing themselves on top of the whale's blow-hole to stop it breathing.

When they saw theirbaby, they both cried out, “My goodness! How small it is! It’s hairless and toothless! It’s a monster!” They sent for all the doctors in thecountry and ordered them to prepare some medicine for her.“When she drinks your medicine, she must grow to the right size and have hair and teeth,” the king said, “If you don’t do this, you’llhave a beating.”The doctors thought it impossible, but they dared not say anything against the king’s order. Just then and old doctor stepped forward.“Oh, we shall certainly obey your order,” he said, “but it takes time.

But fire can burn things too. It can burn trees, houses, animals, or people. Sometimes big fires can burn forest.Nobody knows for sure how people began to use fire. But there are many interesting, old stories about the first time a man or woman started a fire. One story from Australia tells about a man very, very long time ago. He went up to the sun by a rope(绳子) and brought fire down. Today people know how to make a fire with matches （火柴）. Children sometimes like to play with them. But matches can be very dangerous. One match can burn a piece of paper, and then it might burn a house. A small fire can become a big fire very fast. Fires kill many people every year. So you must be careful with matches. Y ou should also learn to put out fires. Fires need oxygen （氧气）. Without oxygen they die. There is oxygen in the air. Cover a fire with water, sand, or in an emergency （紧急情况）, with your coat or something else. This keeps the air away from a fire and kills it. Be careful with fire, and it will help you. Be careless with fire, and it will burn you. 46. Which is true?A. We are not sure how people started to use fire.B. It is an Australian who started a fire.C. We know how people began to use fire.D.

西南科技大学2011-2012-2学期《学术英语写作》本科期末考试试卷姓名学号专业班级Direction: There are 3 types of exercises in the test. You may choose one and do it according to its requirement.Exercises 1Direction: Write an abstract (including a title, authorship and keywords) for the following essay. You should write no less than 250 words and no more than 400 words. You score will be valued by the format, content and grammar of your abstract.The University of Hertfordshire Internal Bridging Programme prepares Students in Higher Education for post-graduate study at the University of Hertfordshire. To follow the programme, students usually have a first degree and the appropriate academic qualifications to enroll on a Masters degree. However, the students' English competence is inadequate for a postgraduate course so it is necessary for them to improve it. Hence they need to follow our course or a similar one elsewhere. It is a one-year course and the students take several different modules. The largest module is English for Academic Purposes. It consists of 16 hours per week of class contact in Semester A and 6 hours per week in Semester B.The main aims of the Semester B course are to:•improve the students' command of academic English: language structure, use and vocabulary•consolidate their language skills of reading, writing, listening and speaking in academic contexts•put to practical use appropriate academic conventions observed in British higher education•acquire a range of transferable academic skills essential for effective study at postgraduate level•ridevelop learner independence.By the end of the course they should have a knowledge and understanding of:•relevant conventions followed in academic English (both written and oral)•the difference between the informal and formal registers of the English language•what is linguistically expected of an overseas postgraduate student in British higher education.and they should be able to:•listen to, understand and take notes in lectures•apply a range of reading strategies and use the library appropriately•produce a substantial piece of researched writing•take part in discussions, seminars and tutorials•prepare and deliver presentations•employ a range of general and academic vocabulary.Our objectives are defined by the needs of the students' academic courses in the following year. The main job, therefore, in preparing these courses is to investigate what our students will have to do in their academic course, work out what aspects of language - grammar, vocabulary, skills etc - they will need and then find ways to teach and assess it (Gillett, 1989).One skill needed by postgraduate students is the ability to take part in discussions. It is generally accepted that student-student interaction, both formal and informal, is beneficial in higher education (Pica & Doughty, 1985 Topping, 1996 Tan, 2003). It has also been reported that many Students in Higher Education, especially those from Asia, find this difficult and do not participate well enough in these discussions (Jones, 1999 Leki, 2001 Basturkmen, 2002). So participation in discussions is included as one of the objectives of our course. For several years, we have included a face-to face discussions of an academic article, whereby one student introduces an academic article to the class and then leads a discussion.With the recent introduction, though, of StudyNet, our in-house VLE, and a strong belief that any effective use of a VLE must begin with clear integration of the VLE into the course, it was decided to extend this aspect of the course to include an on-line discussion using the StudyNet group discussion facility. One reason is that much research has shown that on-line discussions produce more interaction (Dysthe, 2002). They also allow quieter students to participate and show that Students in Higher Education will participate more if they have time to think about their contributions and plan the language they want to use. It has also been reported that international students have increased motivation to use the target language and therefore produce more language (Bump, 1990 Beauvois, 1992 Kern, 1995 Oliva & Pollastrini, 1995). Moreover, there is a more balanced participation (Kern, 1995 Sullivan & Pratt, 1996 Warschauer, 1996). Students also use a wider variety of language (Chun, 1994 Warschauer, 1996), which is syntactically and lexically more complex (Warschauer, 1996). This structured use of the VLE benefits students with a range of learning styles from a wider range of sociocultural backgrounds (Pennington, 1996). It was hoped students would find this to their advantage.Thus there is evidence that group discussion is beneficial in education and that on-line discussions can also be valuable. However, how predominantly East Asian students would deal with an on-line discussion was an important question. Often, their view of education is that it is essentiallya passive process, something that happens to them, not something they have to do for themselves, something that is mainly the job of the teacher (Jin & Cortazzi, 1993 Cortazzi & Jin, 1997 Catterick, 2004). So the purpose of the research was to investigate whether such students would undertake the task in the manner set, whether they regarded the activity as being advantageous to them and whether they would see the underlying reasons for such a task. Finally, it was useful to determine whether the students perceived learning was in fact occurring.MethodologyThe programme had about 120 students in 2003/2004, divided into 9 groups for teaching purposes. The on-line discussion took place in the first four weeks of the second semester. The educational purpose of the on-line discussion, which we did nor evaluate in this study, was to help students improve their ability to read an academic article, to take part in discussions on such an article and to experience this via StudyNet. As with most of the teaching on this programme, the purpose of this is twofold: to improve students' language and study skills, and also to experience using StudyNet in preparation for their future academic lives. They were given very clear instructions about exactly what was required of them and their contribution was assessed, in order to encourage full participation.The on-line discussion element was worth 6.25% of the coursework element of the course for the semester. All the students discussed the same article and were told they could read the article on-line, print it out or copy it to their own computers. At the end of this discussion period, the lecturers evaluated the students' contributions. The assessment consisted of a combination of the quantity of contributions to the discussion and the quality - ideas, interaction and language. In other words, students were rewarded for contributing more than the minimum, as well as using the activity as a learning tool, not simply as a bare assessment. The students were then asked about what they felt about doing this activity and what they learned from it. This was done via a questionnaire in which students were asked how they took part in the discussion, what they felt about taking part in the discussion and what they thought they learned from it. The questionnaire was given to all the students who had taken part and they were asked to complete it in class time. This was done in weeks seven and eight, three to four weeks after having completed the activity. The questionnaire consisted of twenty-two questions, divided into multiple choice and short-answer questions. The rationale behind the questionnaire was to assess the perceived worthiness of the task by the students.The students were told that a grade would be given for their contribution to this discussion, and that a good contribution consisted of demonstrating knowledge of the article and making a relevant contribution to the discussion in appropriate English. They were instructed to make their first contribution by the end of week 2 of the semester and their second by the end of week three. Two contributions was the bare minimum if they wanted to pass and more was expected for a good mark. Each contribution had to be four or five sentences.The students were advised on, and given practice in class, about what a contribution consisted of. This could include, among other things:• a question to a member of the group•an opinion about the article•giving further information on the subject•agreement or disagreement with a member of their group•reasons for their opinions•invitations to other members of their group to contribute•asking other people about their opinions•supporting and encouraging other members of their groupThey were told to read all the contributions from their group members, not just those from the lecturer and furthermore to respond not only to the lecturer's points, but carry on a discussion with the other members of their group as well. Appropriate language needed to be used as this was a formal academic discussion, not an e-mail to a friend. Their contributions had to be written in accurate academic English and it might therefore be useful to compose their contributions in a word-processor, check it for accuracy and then paste it into the discussion. Their mark would depend on how well they achieved this task.Results and discussionThe purpose was therefore to see whether or not students undertook the task, what advantages they saw to it, whether they saw the reasons for doing it and what they thought they learned from it. 112 completed questionnaires were received. The questions most relevant to the research aims will be discussed, with the hope that it will be useful for lecturers in similar circumstances.First is the question of the extent to which students undertook the task. This was measured by looking at the number, frequency, style and length of students' contributions. Although the minimum number of contributions was two in order to achieve a pass, they were encouraged to contribute as much as possible, in order to be successful, and for their skills to be practised. The assessment period being over 4 weeks, 35% of students made one contribution a week, 23% twice a week, while 36 % of students contributed three times a week or more (Figure 1). It was certainly clear, therefore, that most students were contributing more than the minimum. It may be the case, though, that very few decided that doing any extra work for an assessment that counted such a small amount of the overall course mark was not worth the effort.Figure 1: Frequency of contributionConsidering the style of discussion, with threads connected to single opinions or ideas, one would have expected students to have read all or most of the contributions on the list prior to adding their own point of view. Figure 2 shows that 48% of students claimed to have read more than 5 previous contributions, while 22% of those students had read more than ten. Surprisingly, though, 10% of students claimed not to have read any contributions before adding their own. It can thus be speculated that these students do not quite understand the concept of a discussion, though, but this is predicated on there being 10 contributions to actually read.Figure 2: Contributions read prior to contributingAs regards the length of their own contributions, 42% stated they had written a paragraph, while the rest either equally wrote a few sentences or more than a paragraph. This was confirmed by the class lecturer, who monitored the contributions on a weekly basis. The students were expected to write at least a few sentences, so in this respect, it can be deemed successful.It was felt that the level of participation would depend to some extent on whether they had enjoyed the exercise. As can be seen from Figure 3, less than 2% said they hated it. Almost 50% chose 'OK' and 29% said they had enjoyed it. It was pleasing to note that 12.5% asserted that they had enjoyed it very much.Figure 3: Degree of enjoymentSecondly was whether or not the students found the exercise advantageous or useful. More than 50% of the students responded affirmatively (Figure 4), while only 6% of students did not it find it useful. No one considered it to be a waste of time. This was crucial for us, considering this was the first attempt at this type of task and is an evaluation method which needs to be used more actively in the future, as the use of the on-line facility is playing a larger role in academic life (Browne & Jenkins, 2003).Figure 4: Relative usefulnessThirdly, the open question of 'Why do you think we used the on-line method for discussion?' elicited numerous favourable responses. Chief among these, the students were of the opinion thatit would improve their reading and writing skills. Why they believed their writing skills would improve is not quite certain, as none of their contributions were corrected. In any case, they were making use of English in a formal academic style to communicate their ideas, an essential part of learning to write. Furthermore, the act of reading others' contributions and being able to compare grammar, vocabulary and level of sophistication of an argument with ones' own writing is a key part of peer learning, which is an aspect which is greatly emphasised in second language learning (Flower & Hayes, 1981 Grabe, 2001 Vincent, 1999). In addition they felt that it would allow them to analyse ideas more clearly and to think more independently. This may be linked to the time factor involved in being able to formulate ideas without pressure due to language ability and peer observation. This is particularly relevant to the quiet students who are often unwilling to be in focus in a class situation. They did consider that it would allow everyone more time and opportunities to discuss ideas and was particularly useful for the shy students. This is what was hoped for. Often the amount of time for discussion in class is limited, so allowing students this extra time to debate is of great importance.Lastly we wanted to see if the students thought they had learned something from the exercise. In this case, only 5 of 112 students said no, and 3 'not really, but it was good to practise.' Thus the great majority were of the opinion that they had learned from the task. Whether the students' perception is borne out in reality was not the focus of this research but should be researched at a future date. The areas they highlighted are being able to see the grammar mistakes of others, and being able to learn from them. Here the previous comment on peer learning is reflected. They decided that their knowledge, vocabulary and discussion skills had been enriched by the task. Some also considered that the experience allowed them to share ideas better than in class, and allowed them to feel more confident to give their opinion. This is a core issue, as many Students in Higher Education, especially those from the Far East, usually have a great deal to say, but lack the confidence when surrounded by local students with whom they often have minimal actual contact. If their confidence can be initially improved in this way, one hopes it can be extended to class situations. The chance to summarise and organise ideas better was another issue mentioned. These are essential skills all students need.ConclusionPost-graduate international students at UK institutions of Higher Education often find difficulty dealing with seminar type discussions. An attempt was made to help students with this by utilising the group discussion facility of a university Virtual Leaning Environment (VLE). However, as most of the students were from East Asia, who often consider education as essentially a passive process, it was felt necessary to investigate whether they would undertake such an activity and what the benefits were. Despite some criticisms, the students generally took part in the activity seriously and saw the usefulness of it. They were generally found to understand the purpose of the activity and felt they had learned from it. Thus, overall, when the activity was clearly seen to be related to the learning outcomes and integrated into the course, the verdict was overwhelmingly positive and the rationale understood. By taking the various points students made and adjusting the task slightly, by integrating the on-line discussion more into class work, involving the lecturers more and by thinking more about the text, we hope that the positive outcomes can be furthercemented, and further areas probed and students helped to take part in seminar style discussions more confidently and competently.ReferencesBasturkmen, H.

My school conducted the New Educational Policy and great changes have taken place since then. Before the New Educational Policy, we had to study at school for too long, it was more than ten hours that we studied at school every day. (We usually spent over ten hours studying every day.) In class, we just listened to our teachers carefully.（In class, we only needed to listen to what the teachers said carefully.) How bored we felt! Some students even talked in class. Sometimes, we were so tiered that we fell asleep in class, some of us were always late for school. After class, we had so much homework to do. We didn’t have enough sleep.

历年英语二大、小作文真题及范文大全(2011—2014)
历年英语二大、小作文真题及范文（2011—2014）一、2014年英语二作文真题1. 小作文Suppose you are going to study abroad and share an apartment with John, a local student, write him an email to1) tells him, about your living habit ,and2) ask for advice for living thereDo not sign your own name at the end of the letter. Use “Li Ming” instead.Do not write the address. (10 Points)2. 大作文Directions:Write an essay based on the following chart. In your essay, you should interpret the chart, and give your comments.You should write about 150 words on the ANSWER SHEET. (15points)3. 范文小作文：Dear John,I am Li Ming who will go to study in your university and live together with you in one department. Now I am writing this letter to tell you some of my habits and ask you for some suggestions to adapt myself there.To begin with, I usually get up early in the morning at six o’clock and then go out to do someexercise. To continue, I would like to spend my spare time in reading in the library. Meanwhile, I wonder if you could be so kind to offer me some proposals on how to get used to the life there.I am looking forward to seeing you soon and wish everything goes well.Yours sincerely,Li Ming 大作文：What is clearly presented in the above chart is the different numbers of urban residents and rural population among 1990, 2000 and 2010.The number of urban residents climbed steadily from 300 million in 1990 to 660 million or so in 2010, while rural population decreased slightly from about 820 million to 680 million or so in the same period.It is not difficult to come up with some possible factors accounting for this trend. On the one hand, with the rapid development of economy and society, people in mounting numbers crowd into cities in search of employment, a decent living and the excitement of urban life recently. On the other hand, the economy in the rural districts is comparative less developed and thus the opportunity to make money and pursue their future is as well lean. As a result, an increasing number of folks are trying to escape this destiny by flocking into the urban areas.Given the analyses above, I firmly believe that such established trend will surely continue for quite a while in the forthcoming years and due importance should be attached tothis evident situation.二、2013考研英语二作文真题1. 小作文Suppose your class is to hold a charity sale for kids in need of help. write your classmates an email to 1) inform them about the details and; 2) encourage them to participate 100 words useLi Ming. Don't write your address.2. 大作文Write an essay based on the following chart in your writing, you should(1) interpret the chart ,and(2) give your commentsYou should write about 150 words.3. 范文小作文Dear friends,I am writing to call on every classmate to show love to the kids in need of help.We are going to hold a charity sale in the Students’ Center on Jan. 8, next Monday. It wil l start at 3 in the afternoon. If you have some valuable belongings but are not very useful for you, please do not hesitate to bring them to the charity sale. The money will be sent to the chi ldrenwho need it urgently. The sales will not be ended until all the charity goods are sold. Th us, do come to buy for helping the kids in need of help.Thank you for your consideration and I am here waiting for you.Yours sincerely,Li Ming 大作文The above bar chart illustrates the proportion of college students who get engaged in par t-time jobs before graduation. According to the chart, the percentage of senior students worki ng part-time is 88.24%, which is the highest for all the students. The figure is followed by jun ior students and sophomores, reaching 71.93% and 71.13% respectively. By contrast, the low est percentage of part-timer is the freshman, with only 67.77% involved.Why do students of higher grade prefer to be part-time workers while fewer freshmen ta ke the kind of jobs? Many senior students choose this job, arguing that they can accumulate working experience by working as an intern in some companies such as banks, advertising ag encies and trading firms two or three days a week. In other words, part-time jobs have becom e incubators for students to develop their social abilities——a boon for their future career. M oreover, students of higher grade will have more autonomy over their schedule. However, as f or the freshmen, they are not ready to step into the society partly because they are still too yo ung to recognize the significance of social experience. Apart from their lack of awareness, the ir parents’ protection will also prevent freshmen from working part-time.From my perspective, part-time jobs provide students with more opportunities to hone t heir key skills such as communication and cooperation, which will be crucial for students to work their way up the career ladder. Therefore, students should make use of the opportunity t o develop their skills needed for their future work.三、2012年英语二作文真题1. 小作文DirectionsSuppose you have found something wrong with the electronic dictionary that you bought from an online store the other day, Write an email to the customer service center to1) make a complaint and2) demand a prompt solutionYou should write about 100words on ANSERE SHEET 2Do not sign your own name at the end of the letterUse "Zhang Wei " instead .2. 大作文Write an essay based on the following table. In your writing you should1) describe the table ,and2) give your commentsYou should write at least 150 words (15points)3. 范文：小作文Dear Sir or Madam,I am writing this letter to express my disappointment about the electronic dictionary I bought yesterday from your online store. It did not work properly when I looked an English word up and I also found some typing errors in the dictionary.Solutions to solve this problem are as follows. One solution I want to mention here is that you can replace this product with a nice one. The other solution I believe is that I demand a full refund.Please let me know which solution you would like to choose at your earliest convenience. Thank you for your time and consideration and I really hope you can solve the problem as soon as possible.Yours sincerely,Zhang Wei 大作文From the statistics shown in the table above, we can find the dramatic differences in a survey about working satisfaction in a company. The company employees are categorized into three groups by their ages: below 40, 41-50 and over 50. And meanwhile, the survey gives us three degrees of their satisfaction on their jobs.In the first column, we can find that the most satisfied workers of all are those who over 50, because they account for the largest proportion in the table, at 40 per cent, while the workers below 40 are the second most satisfied workers in the company, and this makes up 16.7% of the total survey. And we also find that no one between 41 and 50 is content with their jobs. In the second column, we know that half of the youngest and oldest workers do not express their opinions about their satisfaction on their jobs, whereas 36% workers who are between 41 and 50 show the same idea. The third column indicates that the people in the middle don’t like their jobs which repr esent 64%. And the youngest and oldest the employees are not satisfied with their jobs, at 33.3% and 10% respectively.Taking everything into consideration, we may easily come to a conclusion that senior works are more satisfied with their jobs. But some measures should be adopted quickly to improve their employees’ satisfaction.四、2011年考研英语二作文真题1. 小作文：Suppose your cousin LI MING has just been admited to a university write him/her a letter to:(1) Congratulate him/her, and(2) give him/her suggestions on how to get prepared for university life.You should write about 100 words on ANSWER SHEETDO not sign your own name at the end of the letter.Use “Zhang Wei” instead.2. 大作文：Write a short essay baesd on the following chart.in your writing,you should:1) interpret the chart and2) give your commentsYou should write at least 150 words;Write your essay on answer sheet 2 (15points)3. 范文：小作文：Dear friend,I am writing to congratulate you on your being successfully admitted to Harvard University, which enjoys an international reputation for its academic excellence and give you some suggestions as to how to make preparation for the coming college life.In order for you to adapt yourself to the university life, you are advised to get prepared physically and intellectually. First and foremost, you need to build a strong body for the future academic pursuit, so you can take some exercises during the breaks. Secondly, since the study in university is more demanding than in your secondary school, you are highly suggested to find some introductory books from the library so as to have a good idea of the specialty you are going to take in your college life. Given your sound ability, you are sure to have a successful college life.Congratulate you again and wish you a fruitful college life.Sincerely yours,Zhang Wei 大作文：This bar chart indicates different market shares of automobiles of three types of brand affiliations between 2008 and 2009.In 2008, cars with Japanese brands topped the three types of vehicles, accounting for 35% of the total market. What follows is the cars with Chinese brands, hitting 25% of the auto market, with the share of American brand bottomed out at 15%. In 2009, some developments are noticeable in that the cars with the largest share became those of Chinese brands, which occupied roughly 32% of the market, while cars with Japanese and American brands took 25% and 15% of the whole market respectively.It is observed that between 2008 and 2009, cars of Chinese and Japanese brands took turns to be the No.1 in terms of market share while those with American brands ranked the last in both years. And the share of Chinese-brand cars witnessed a mild increase and that of the Japanese-brand cars saw a moderate decrease, while the American-brand cars stayed the same.From this graph, we can come to the safe conclusion that the Chinese automakers are doing a good job in outcompeting their Japanese and American counterparts in 2009, but the gap is not so significant and if no efforts were made from the part of the Chinese auto industry, the distribution map might be rewritten in the future.。

2011年全国二卷英语作文真题
2011年全国二卷英语作文真题2011 National Examination English (II) Writing TestPart A WritingDirections:Write an essay of 160-200 words based on the following drawing. In your essay, you should1) describe the drawing briefly,2) explain its intended meaning, and3) give your comments.You should write neatly on the ANSWER SHEET.The drawing depicts a man and a woman standing on opposite sides of a cracked wall. The man is standing on the left side of the wall, looking at the woman with sad eyes. The woman, on the right side of the wall, is looking back with a solemn expression. In between them, the crack in the wall seems to separate them, symbolizing a barrier or a conflict in their relationship.The intended meaning of the drawing is to depict the theme of misunderstanding and miscommunication in relationships.The cracked wall represents the emotional distance between the man and the woman, highlighting the lack of understanding and connection between them. It conveys the message that misunderstandings and conflicts can create barriers in relationships, preventing people from truly connecting with each other.In my opinion, the drawing serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of clear and open communication in relationships. It underscores the need for both parties to listen to each other, understand each other's perspectives, and work together to overcome misunderstandings and conflicts. By addressing the cracks in the wall and bridging the emotional gap, the man and the woman can rebuild their relationship and create a stronger bond based on trust and mutual understanding.Overall, the drawing conveys a poignant message about the challenges of maintaining healthy relationships and the importance of effective communication in overcoming conflicts and fostering connection. It serves as a thought-provoking reflection on the complexities of human relationships and the efforts required to nurture and sustain them.。

abstract.The University of Hertfordshire Internal Bridging Programme prepares Students in Higher Education for post-graduate study at the University of Hertfordshire.To follow the programme,students usually have a first degree and the appropriate academic qualifications to enroll on a Masters degree.However,the students'English competence is inadequate for a postgraduate course so it is necessary for them to improve it.Hence they need to follow our course or a similar one elsewhere.It is a one-year course and the students take several different modules.The largest module is English for Academic Purposes.It consists of 16hours per week of class contact in Semester A and 6hours per week in Semester B.The main aims of the Semester B course are to:•improve the students'command of academic English:language structure,use and vocabulary •consolidate their language skills of reading,writing,listening and speaking in academiccontexts•put to practical use appropriate academic conventions observed in British higher education•acquire a range of transferable academic skills essential for effective study at postgraduate level •ridevelop learner independence.By the end of the course they should have a knowledge and understanding of:•relevant conventions followed in academic English (both written and oral)课程代码208900070命题单位外国语学院：大学英语教研室w w w .z h i n a n c h e .c o m•the difference between the informal and formal registers of the English language•what is linguistically expected of an overseas postgraduate student in British highereducation.and they should be able to:•listen to,understand and take notes in lectures•apply a range of reading strategies and use the library appropriately•produce a substantial piece of researched writing•take part in discussions,seminars and tutorials•prepare and deliver presentations•employ a range of general and academic vocabulary.Our objectives are defined by the needs of the students'academic courses in the following year.The main job,therefore,in preparing these courses is to investigate what our students will have to do in their academic course,work out what aspects of language -grammar,vocabulary,skills etc -they will need and then find ways to teach and assess it (Gillett,1989).One skill needed by postgraduate students is the ability to take part in discussions.It is generally accepted that student-student interaction,both formal and informal,is beneficial in higher education (Pica &Doughty,1985Topping,1996Tan,2003).It has also been reported that many Students in Higher Education,especially those from Asia,find this difficult and do not participate well enough in these discussions (Jones,1999Leki,2001Basturkmen,2002).So participation in discussions is included as one of the objectives of our course.For several years,we have included a face-to face discussions of an academic article,whereby one student introduces an academic article to the class and then leads a discussion.With the recent introduction,though,of StudyNet,our in-house VLE,and a strong belief that any effective use of a VLE must begin with clear integration of the VLE into the course,it was decided to extend this aspect of the course to include an on-line discussion using the StudyNet group discussion facility.One reason is that much research has shown that on-line discussions produce more interaction (Dysthe,2002).They also allow quieter students to participate and show that Students in Higher Education will participate more if they have time to think about their contributions and plan the language they want to use.It has also been reported that international students have increased motivation to use the target language and therefore produce more language (Bump,1990Beauvois,1992Kern,1995Oliva &Pollastrini,1995).Moreover,there is a more balanced participation (Kern,1995Sullivan &Pratt,1996Warschauer,1996).Students also use a wider variety of language (Chun,1994Warschauer,1996),which is syntactically and lexically more complex (Warschauer,1996).This structured use of the VLE benefits students with a range of learning styles from a wider range of sociocultural backgrounds (Pennington,1996).It was hoped students would find this to their advantage.Thus there is evidence that group discussion is beneficial in education and that on-line discussions can also be valuable.However,how predominantly East Asian students would deal with an on-line discussion was an important question.Often,their view of education is that it is essentially w w w .z h i n a n c h e .c o ma passive process,something that happens to them,not something they have to do for themselves,something that is mainly the job of the teacher (Jin &Cortazzi,1993Cortazzi &Jin,1997Catterick,2004).So the purpose of the research was to investigate whether such students would undertake the task in the manner set,whether they regarded the activity as being advantageous to them and whether they would see the underlying reasons for such a task.Finally,it was useful to determine whether the students perceived learning was in fact occurring.MethodologyThe programme had about 120students in 2003/2004,divided into 9groups for teaching purposes.The on-line discussion took place in the first four weeks of the second semester.The educational purpose of the on-line discussion,which we did nor evaluate in this study,was to help students improve their ability to read an academic article,to take part in discussions on such an article and to experience this via StudyNet.As with most of the teaching on this programme,the purpose ofthis is twofold:to improve students'language and study skills,and also to experience using StudyNet in preparation for their future academic lives.They were given very clear instructions about exactly what was required of them and their contribution was assessed,in order to encourage full participation.The on-line discussion element was worth 6.25%of the coursework element of the course for the semester.All the students discussed the same article and were told they could read the article on-line,print it out or copy it to their own computers.At the end of this discussion period,the lecturers evaluated the students'contributions.The assessment consisted of a combination of the quantity of contributions to the discussion and the quality -ideas,interaction and language.In other words,students were rewarded for contributing more than the minimum,as well as using the activity as a learning tool,not simply as a bare assessment.The students were then asked about what they felt about doing this activity and what they learned from it.This was done via a questionnaire in which students were asked how they took part in the discussion,what they felt about taking part in the discussion and what they thought they learned from it.The questionnaire was given to all the students who had taken part and they were asked to complete it in class time.This was done in weeks seven and eight,three to four weeks after having completed the activity.The questionnaire consisted of twenty-two questions,divided into multiple choice and short-answer questions.The rationale behind the questionnaire was to assess the perceived worthiness of the task by the students.The students were told that a grade would be given for their contribution to this discussion,and that a good contribution consisted of demonstrating knowledge of the article and making a relevant contribution to the discussion in appropriate English.They were instructed to make their first contribution by the end of week 2of the semester and their second by the end of week three.Two contributions was the bare minimum if they wanted to pass and more was expected for a good mark.Each contribution had to be four or five sentences.The students were advised on,and given practice in class,about what a contribution consisted of.This could include,among other things:w w w .z h i n a n c h e .c o m•a question to a member of the group•an opinion about the article•giving further information on the subject•agreement or disagreement with a member of their group•reasons for their opinions•invitations to other members of their group to contribute•asking other people about their opinions•supporting and encouraging other members of their groupThey were told to read all the contributions from their group members,not just those from the lecturer and furthermore to respond not only to the lecturer's points,but carry on a discussion with the other members of their group as well.Appropriate language needed to be used as this was aformal academic discussion,not an e-mail to a friend.Their contributions had to be written in accurate academic English and it might therefore be useful to compose their contributions in a word-processor,check it for accuracy and then paste it into the discussion.Their mark would depend on how well they achieved this task.Results and discussionThe purpose was therefore to see whether or not students undertook the task,what advantages they saw to it,whether they saw the reasons for doing it and what they thought they learned from it.112completed questionnaires were received.The questions most relevant to the research aims will be discussed,with the hope that it will be useful for lecturers in similar circumstances.First is the question of the extent to which students undertook the task.This was measured by looking at the number,frequency,style and length of students'contributions.Although the minimum number of contributions was two in order to achieve a pass,they were encouraged to contribute as much as possible,in order to be successful,and for their skills to be practised.The assessment period being over 4weeks,35%of students made one contribution a week,23%twice a week,while 36%of students contributed three times a week or more (Figure 1).It was certainly clear,therefore,that most students were contributing more than the minimum.It may be the case,though,that very few decided that doing any extra work for an assessment that counted such a small amount of the overall course mark was not worth the effort.w w w .z h i n a n c h e .c o mFigure 1:Frequency of contributionConsidering the style of discussion,with threads connected to single opinions or ideas,one would have expected students to have read all or most of the contributions on the list prior to adding their own point of view.Figure 2shows that 48%of students claimed to have read more than 5previous contributions,while 22%of those students had read more than ten.Surprisingly,though,10%of students claimed not to have read any contributions before adding their own.It can thus be speculated that these students do not quite understand the concept of a discussion,though,but this is predicated on there being 10contributions to actually read.Figure 2:Contributions read prior to contributingAs regards the length of their own contributions,42%stated they had written a paragraph,while the rest either equally wrote a few sentences or more than a paragraph.This was confirmed by the class lecturer,who monitored the contributions on a weekly basis.The students were expected to write at least a few sentences,so in this respect,it can be deemed successful.w ww .z h i n a n c h e .c o mIt was felt that the level of participation would depend to some extent on whether they had enjoyed the exercise.As can be seen from Figure 3,less than 2%said they hated it.Almost 50%chose 'OK'and 29%said they had enjoyed it.It was pleasing to note that 12.5%asserted that they had enjoyed it very much.Figure 3:Degree of enjoymentSecondly was whether or not the students found the exercise advantageous or useful.More than 50%of the students responded affirmatively (Figure 4),while only 6%of students did not it find it useful.No one considered it to be a waste of time.This was crucial for us,considering this was the first attempt at this type of task and is an evaluation method which needs to be used more actively in the future,as the use of the on-line facility is playing a larger role in academic life (Browne &Jenkins,2003).Figure 4:Relative usefulnessThirdly,the open question of 'Why do you think we used the on-line method for discussion?'elicited numerous favourable responses.Chief among these,the students were of the opinion that w ww .z h i n a n c h e .c o mit would improve their reading and writing skills.Why they believed their writing skills would improve is not quite certain,as none of their contributions were corrected.In any case,they were making use of English in a formal academic style to communicate their ideas,an essential part of learning to write.Furthermore,the act of reading others'contributions and being able to compare grammar,vocabulary and level of sophistication of an argument with ones'own writing is a key part of peer learning,which is an aspect which is greatly emphasised in second language learning (Flower &Hayes,1981Grabe,2001Vincent,1999).In addition they felt that it would allow them to analyse ideas more clearly and to think more independently.This may be linked to the time factor involved in being able to formulate ideas without pressure due to language ability and peer observation.This is particularly relevant to the quiet students who are often unwilling to be in focus in a class situation.They did consider that it would allow everyone more time and opportunities to discuss ideas and was particularly useful for the shy students.This is what was hoped for.Often the amount of time for discussion in class is limited,so allowing students this extra time to debate is of great importance.Lastly we wanted to see if the students thought they had learned something from the exercise.In this case,only 5of 112students said no,and 3'not really,but it was good to practise.'Thus the great majority were of the opinion that they had learned from the task.Whether the students'perception is borne out in reality was not the focus of this research but should be researched at a future date.The areas they highlighted are being able to see the grammar mistakes of others,and being able to learn from them.Here the previous comment on peer learning is reflected.They decided that their knowledge,vocabulary and discussion skills had been enriched by the task.Some also considered that the experience allowed them to share ideas better than in class,and allowed them to feel more confident to give their opinion.This is a core issue,as many Students in Higher Education,especially those from the Far East,usually have a great deal to say,but lack the confidence when surrounded by local students with whom they often have minimal actual contact.If their confidence can be initially improved in this way,one hopes it can be extended to class situations.The chance to summarise and organise ideas better was another issue mentioned.These are essential skills all students need.ConclusionPost-graduate international students at UK institutions of Higher Education often find difficulty dealing with seminar type discussions.An attempt was made to help students with this by utilising the group discussion facility of a university Virtual Leaning Environment (VLE).However,as most of the students were from East Asia,who often consider education as essentially a passive process,it was felt necessary to investigate whether they would undertake such an activity and what the benefits were.Despite some criticisms,the students generally took part in the activity seriously and saw the usefulness of it.They were generally found to understand the purpose of the activity and felt they had learned from it.Thus,overall,when the activity was clearly seen to be related to the learning outcomes and integrated into the course,the verdict was overwhelmingly positive and the rationale understood.By taking the various points students made and adjusting the task slightly,by integrating the on-line discussion more into class work,involving the lecturers more and by thinking more about the text,we hope that the positive outcomes can be further w w w .z h i n a n c h e .c o mcemented,and further areas probed and students helped to take part in seminar style discussions more confidently and competently.ReferencesBasturkmen,H.(2002).Negotiating meaning in seminar-type discussion and EAP.English for Specific Purposes,21,233-242.Beauvois,M.H.(1992).Computer-assisted
