英语角话题Topics for English Corner1. PressureAs the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body.Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing as it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at the first sight of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between “flight or fight” an d in more primitive days the choices made the difference between life or death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress,it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart diseases have established links with stress. Since we cannot remove stress from our lives (it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it.2. Cheating on the CampusI walked into the examination room, tired and stressed.I had been up late the night before, preparing for our first arithmetic test of the year.When everyone sat down, test papers were handed out and I began. Less than ten minutes later, our teacher announced he had an errand to run, and told us to keep working until he returned. As soon as he walked out of the door, however, I knew exactly what was going to happen.I continued concentrating on the questions in front of me, but suddenly the room was not so quiet any more. With a sigh I lifted my head, and looked around the room.Now that the teacher had gone, many of the students began sharing answers and discussing the problemstogether. Although this was far from the first time, once again I was filled with a feeling of disappointment. I tried to continue working, but my mind was now clogged with confusion and disappointment. After all, this was an important exam, and we were seniors in high school. Shouldn't we be trustworthy enough to be left alone in the classroom without the teacher having to worry about us cheating?CheatingThe word brings to mind many different connotations, from deception to dishonesty to corruption. I have always been against cheating and have worked hard to earn my grades honestly, seeing what have happened all around me is very difficult to accept. I have never really understood how difficult it can be to resist cheating, until I began to witness my peers doing it on a daily basis. For many, cheating has become just a part of everyday life, and they don't even think twice about doing it. I can't even explain how disappointing it feels to put all my effort into a homework assignment or studying for a test, and then see someone else cheat to get a better grade. To me, the grade one receives should represent not only his intelligence, but also how much effort and hard work hehas applied to honestly earn the grade.A few weeks later, when our class ranks were disclosed, I was very excited to rank 2nd in my class. I honestly felt that the amount of work and commitment I had made to my studies throughout high school earned me this place, and I was proud to have come this far. However, I was wondering about those who had cheated to get where they were. Many of them were ranked close to me, and even at the top of the class.I have contemplated many times whether it is right to let all these acts go unreported and to let these students continue to think that cheating is the best solution. Of course the temptation to cheat will always be there, but as a result many of these students will never be able to experience how good it feels to earn a good grade through hard work. Cheating may seem like the easiest solution now, but in the future it will make things much more difficult. These students who become accustomed to cheating on a regular basis will find it may progress far beyond their schoolwork. They will continue to deceive others in all aspects of their lives, from personal to business relationships. I just hope that some day they will be able to realize that cheating and misleading otherscannot be kept up forever. Eventually, they will realize for themselves that the only way to success is to work honestly, and to honestly earn what they want. All I can do is to pray and hope that some day, somehow, people will be fair and honest. It's a simple wish, but a sad one that is probably beyond my grasp.As for my first arithmetic test, I ended up getting a 142 on it. As I sat in class that day, I listened to the students around me, who had cheated, bragging about their grades each other. I have now realized that no matter how angry I get, or how much I complain about it, some of these students will continue to cheat, as long as they can get away with it. Although my 142 may not be perfect, I can walk out of the room feeling good about myself, and being proud that I worked to the best of my ability. I feel confident in what I believe is right will help me grow better as a human being, and hopefully it can help me to advance one step further on the long, complicated path of life.3. Worries about TelephoneAs is known to all, telephone is one of the most indispensable parts in people's everyday life. However, ithas brought a lot of worries as well as quite some trouble to me.As long ago as I was studying in junior high school, my deskmate, who was rather poor at his school work simply regarded me as his private teacher. On average he telephoned me five times a day and asked me many questions concerning different subjects, which made it hard for me to concentrate on my own study. However, thinking that he was in real need of help, I did my best to provide him with satisfying answers, although it always took me plenty of time.Since I entered senior high school, more trouble emerged. Maybe owing to my good study and my appearance which seems always ready to help others, at school, I was invariably surrounded by several puzzled faces and my brain was thus constantly filled with a large number of academic questions. Then at home, on the phone, I was inevitably wanted by my classmates and even my former ones to solve their problems of study, especially before the exams, during which period of time I was almost fully engaged by those regular telephones. And I just couldn't concentrate on my preparations for the exams. However, as time went by, it turned out to be more thanMom could possibly bear. Every night's continual disturbance eventually gave up to the explosion of her annoyance . "You are a student. You aren't their teacher!" she said angrily to me, "They only care about their own study. They've never thought of your heavy burden." "One day, you will see them making great progress while you yourself...."At first, I didn't take it seriously as I thought she didn't understand me. I really didn't want to disappoint my friends. I even reasoned her with all the good that answering telephones would do to the mastery of my own knowledge. But that didn't help at all. What was worse, for the next several months, I had indeed had a hard time putting up with Mom's endless screaming every time after a phone call. The worst was that at last she spoke really loudly when I was answering a phone call. At those moments, I felt really embarrassed because her penetrating remarks could be heard by my classmates. What would they think of her and then me?I understood that Mom was just worried about my school work, but as far as I could see from my academic achievements, I had not been affected by answering the calls. So by then I was still under the impression that itwouldn't do much harm to my study. Therefore I persisted in answering each phone call regardless of Mom's opposition.It was not until I got poor marks during the two consecutive examinations that I came to realize how telephone had affected my study. What was more important, I shouldn't have placed too much concern over other people's attitude towards me. I shouldn't have turned away from the reality that I didn't have enough time and energy to spare. My ambition of becoming a key university student was unlikely to achieve unless I put my whole heart to the arduous and tortuous process of study. Mom was right.Thus, it was necessary for me to do something to make my telephone somewhat silent. How? I had no alternative but to appeal to my classmates. To my great comfort, they all understood me and promised to ask fewer questions on the phone.Sure enough, ever since then, I have been able to go on smoothly with my study every evening, free from the frequent blaring of the phone and the screaming of Mom. Of course, occasional telephone calls still distract me now and then. But I don't have to 'worry' about the ill resultsof them any more.Above all, I have already got out of the trouble brought about by phone calls and I've come to know that it is absolutely important for a student like me to have a correct and practical attitude towards the relationship with his classmates and the relationship between helping others with their study and making progress himself.4. My favorite pastimeDo you often surf the internet?Do you like traveling? Where have you been?Can you say something about the characteristics of these places?5. What're your criteria for making friends?6. How do I go about learning Chinese well?There is actually no need for you to ask someone else that question; you only have to ask yourself the following hypothetical question.If a foreigner were to ask you: “How do I go about learning Chinese well? How can I become so fluent that I can mimic the spe ech and writing of a Chinese?”what would you have said to him?You probably would tell him to read a lot, listen moreand practice writing and speaking as much as possible. On top of that, you would tell him that knowing a bit of Chinese tradition, culture, history, myths and legends, folklore, children’s rhymes … will all contribute to his proficiency in the language.So, there you have it. You do not need to go around asking other people how you could become proficient in English. You have the answer all along. All you need to do is to apply those same principles you would have given to this foreigner and apply them to your own situation.I am not here to endorse or condemn any particular method of learning. One must realize that different people would thrive under different techniques. (However, I do object to certain hypes and misleading promotional methods used by certain schools.) Just remember the old saying :” All roads lead to Rome” 條條大路通羅馬。

语角口语练习的话题1. Do you have a hobby? Can you tell us something about it? What do like to do in your spare time?have many hobbies, such as playing football, going fishing, climbing mountains and so on, and the one that I like best is playing football. When I play football with others I can make friends with those who come from different departments. Meanwhile I can learn how to forgive others’ mistakes during the match, which will help me to become more endurable in the daily life. Besides, I can practice my ability to work efficiently with my fellows, because it seems that we can win the game only if we can work together in a powerful team. In a word, I can reap the great benefits of this hobby.uring my spare time, I would like to go to the library. I can learn other subjects in there so that I can improve my knowledge structure, which will provide me with a better chance to find a good job in the future. What’s more, I can get more references about my major, and by this way I can also make my major improved greatly.2. What’s your major? Why do you choose it?y major is legal science which is also my favorite major. In this field, we are able to learn a lot of knowledge. There are many subjects we have to learn, such as Criminal Procedure Law, Civil Law, Law of Civil Procedure, General Rules of the Civil Law, Marriage Law, International Law, Jurisprudence, philosophy, logic, history, politics and so forth..he following is the reasons why I choose it:irst of all, I am interested in my major, I love watching the TV programs about laws since I was in the middle school and it expands my horizons. Studying this major makes me know how to become a useful, helpful and happy person, for very day, you are ready to help others which makes you feel so happy that you find you have made your value come true .n addition, our society is in a great need of the skilled workers and experts in laws, because our country develops very rapidly and we need law to maintain peace and order, to protect the rights of citizens, to secure justice, to punish wrong-doers and to make our good laws be applied justly no matter what cases might be. Therefore, it is significant to take legal course to make contributions to the development of our socialist undertakings. Last but not least, as far as I am concerned, it’s good for my future career. I think I’ll have a good job in the future. I will become a lawyer though the studying my major, which can make me earn lots of money.So I choose legal science as my major. And I think my choice is right. And most important, it will lead me to live a happy and wealthy life.ith the expectation of the university, I came to Xinyang Normal University. I love this university at the sight of her, and I think the university life is colorful, stimulating, exciting, enjoyable, interesting, meaningful, and so on. Most important of all, I find college English class is most exciting for me.irst of all, college English class is student-centered and only speaking English. In middle and high schools, English classes were teacher-centered and bi-lingual, English teachers explained English grammars and new words in Chinese from the beginning to the end of each class, andwe had little chance to speak English even in class. However, here English teachers give speeches in English, and we students are required to answer some questions, discuss some topics, and exchange our ideas, etc. only in English in class. I have to practice my spoken English as often as possible, day after day, now I find I can state my opinions clearly in spoken English in public. How pride I feel!econdly, college English class is more interesting and full of activities, such as role-playing, English competitions about telling stories, jokes or tongue twisting. Students are active to take part in all of these class activities to show their abilities and develop their hobbies. We come to class not only for knowledge but also for fun. How happy I am!n all, college English class is completely different from those in middle and high schools, it’s so exciting and I do love it. I bet I will improve my English and achieve more here.rom my point view, I’m quite satisfied with our accommodation. My dormitory room faces south and has a lot of sunshine in fine weather. It also has a very good view of the garden in front of the building and the mountains in the distance. It makes me feel good when I look the lovely grass, flowers and trees in the garden. The color of the mountains changes with different seasons and in different weather. I really enjoy watching the view from my room.ut there are some aspects need to be improved. Above all, our dormitory is not big enough. When everybody is in the room, there simply is not enough space for us to move around. And with six people in it, there isn’t much privacy for anyone.n my opinion, a good student apartment should have a relatively large living room and three or four small single bedrooms. This design will provide enough space for meetings and gatherings while at the same time give each student his or her own room. It should have a washroom and we should have water and electricity supply all day long. And we also can get our food without waiting in line.n my university, students have different types of accommodation depending on their status. Undergraduate students generally share dormitory rooms six to a room, and master’s students four to a room. New apartment houses are also available to students who pay an additional rent.5. What job do you think is the best for you after you graduate?think the best job for me is to be a teacher after graduation. When I was a child, I had dreamed to be a high school teacher. Now I can come to Xinyang Normal University to receive further education and I major in Study of History. It looks like that my dream will come true in the near future.s a teacher, I can give what I have learnt to my students, who will make contributions to our society. Thinking about it, I will be very proud of being a teacher. And, what’s more, I can become an actor just on the small platform in the front of the classroom, which will make my life much colorful. And then, what mostly makes me choose to be a teacher is that I can share some new ideas with the young people, and by this way I will be young forever in my mind.6. What is your most important consideration when looking for a job?Actually, many factors contribute to job satisfaction, such as a high salary, good promotion prospects, pleasant and friendly working atmosphere, suitability for one’s professional talents，and personal interests etc. For many people, money or good promotion prospects may be their most important consideration when looking a job; but as for me, what is important is to do something that I enjoy. I hear stories all the time about people who change their jobs because they realize that they don’t like them after they have started. If you don’t like what you’re doing, you are going to be miserable. You cann’t make the best use of yourtalents and you will get nowhere in your work. So when choosing a job, I think, we’d better make sure that we know where our interest lies, only by doing so, can we do very well in our work and enjoy our work most.7. What kind of activities do you take part in during your free time?any students may feel that college life is boring. They do not know how to deal with plenty of spare time. But I think the college life will become wonderful as long as we make it meaningful. In fact, we can do all kinds of activities which we are interested in. Do not be nervous.1) In my spare time, I often do sports. Doing sports can enhance our physical (mental) development. It can keep fit and make us staying in health. I’ll learn some self-defense skills from it. By doing sports, I also learn how to communicate and interact with others.like running. It is exciting. I feel close to nature when running .And it shows what upper limit human physique can reach after finishing a full running.ometimes, I often play basketball, football, badminton table tennis, and so on. You know, table tennis is very popular activity on campus. It is a national sport. Not only do students like it, but many teachers like it. Playing table tennis can train my brain, especially my eyes . After studying for a long time, My eyes are tied and hurt. So it is good choice to play table tennis with my classmates for relaxing ourselves.I’m a big basketball fan, even though I’m not good at playing basketball myself. I like Yao Ming, so I love to watch the NBA on TV whenever I get a chance.(2) In my free time, I often surf on the internet. With the development of computers throughout the world, more and more people have access to the Internet. I know it has disadvantage to spend too much time using it. But I just use it to get a lot of information by browsing different websites.In fact, the Internet has changed our conventional ways for work, communication, entertainment and expression. Apart from using the Internet for professional purposes, I also use it to communicate with families and friends by sending and receiving e-mails, talking with others and playing games such bridge or chess with partners or opponents they don’t see. I also use the BBS to express my opinions in ways otherwise impossible.In general, spending too much time surfing on the interest is not good to a person. We should have a right attitude to it and make use of it correctly for our study.tudying in college is a brand new start of our life. We can continue to study hard for the better scores. If we want to show our talents and skills we can join in all kinds of activities. By so , we can have a wonderful college life!8. Is it necessary for students to take part in the social activity during the free time?verybody knows that study is one of the most important things for the young people, and a lot of people think that young men should study everyday to get a good score. But I do not agree with such an idea, my opinion is that the social activity and study are good friends.I have 3 main aspects to support my idea.Firstly, the purpose of study is to do more contributions to the society, is to serve for the work. We learn more and more things in order to work easier and easier in the future, so social activity is the checking standard of study.econdly, the social activity can make us know what is our weakpoint and what we should learn in the future. For example, if I can not use computer in my social work, I must ask myself to learn it well so as to improve my work.inally, the social activity is also a kind of rest for us after study. From what has talked above, we can safely draw a conclusion that the social activity is a good partner of study, we should make use of the relations between them to create a good future.9. Can you tell us something about the after-class activities at your college (university)?When the classes are over, students burst out of the classroom buildings. Tired after a whole of serious study, they mostly spend one or two hours to relax and refresh themselves. If you take a walk on campus, you will get an idea about what students do after class.On the playgrounds, various kinds of sports activities are going on. You will see students jogging or playing ball games. Some of them may only be practicing, some are competing seriously against each other.On the weekends, members of various clubs meet at this time. Some students are learning painting, calligraphy or paper-cut, while others simply sit around and talk. The drama group is rehearsing and the school chorus is practicing. And there is also a film show on Saturday.On Sundays or holidays we often have concerts, plays, or parties. Sometimes we organize picnic, climbing mountains, visits to exhibitions of factories. From time to time we invite professors from different fields to give lectures, they are qualified, professional and helpful.Through the after-class activities, we widen our horizon, makes friends, have fun at the same time, the most important is, we learn many thing that we can’t in class. It is these activities that make our college life colorful and unforgettable.10. What kind of after-class activities are you interested in?I'm interested in sports after class because we have to relax after we study in class. Sports are good and necessary for our body and mental. I like long-Running around the playground or along the road because it is full of energy and power, I enjoy climbing the steep and high mountain to see the beautiful nature on the top of the mountain; I'm fond of skating on the snow or ice to balance myself after a long time exercise, standing the pains and hurts over my body; I try to experience the extreme-sports here and there if possible to make my blood boiling...... I should do something to make myself to be somebody, or at least to build up my mind and body to meet the challenges in the new life11. What entertainment does your college (university) offer during the weekend?n fact, many entertainments are available in our university on weekends. For example, usually at Saturday night, we can go to the report halls in the two main teaching buildings; enjoy some English movies shown by various English study associations. And the most exiting part is, they are free. Sometimes, there are concerts held by the Art Department, which are also free. Of course, there are many other choices, say, we like surfing on the internet in the computer room of our library because of its clean and quiet surrounding. In a word, after five-day study, we can enjoy and relax ourselves through these entertainments during the weekend.es, there are many students in my class who have part-time jobs. Some of them work as waiters or waitresses in restaurants, teashops, or some other places like this. Some work as tutors for middle school students. Some choose to sell books, clothes or some other small ornaments just like peddlers. Students who have part-time jobs think they can have a better understanding of the society and their abilities to communicate with other people can be improved.o, there are few students in my class who have part-time jobs. In my opinion, there are 3 reasons for this. Firstly, most of my classmates think doing part-time jobs is a waste of time; they may make better use of the time by learning more knowledge of their majors. Secondly, some students did have a try to find a part-time job in the very beginning, but most of them could not find a suitable one. Because they think working in restaurants or teashops is meaningless, though such kinds of jobs can make them have more pocket money. Last but not the least, most of us have little understanding of the society, we are afraid of being cheated by some wicked people.13. How do you like campus life? ( Why do you think so?)Honestly, the campus life is so desirable for me that I had expectations of it before I had entered into it. Now I am a college student. I enjoy and love campus life very much.First of all, the environment of our campus is very special and beautiful. It is located in the undulating hills. There are many plants and trees, man-made lakes and gardens for us to visit when we are free. It is a good place to live and study.Secondly, campus life is colorful. Besides knowledge from textbooks and teachers, we can do and enjoy many valuable and beneficial things such as playing basketball, football, volleybal l ; going to “English Corner” to practise our listening and speaking; reading in the library; communicating with others and making friends with them; taking part in a variety of mass organizations and social activities, which can develop ourselves and broaden our visions and views about the world.Last but not the least, campus life is romantic. It is worthwhile for people to yearn ,pursue and remember.In a word, I think the campus life in the college makes us feel substantial, colorful and happy.14. Say something about campus activities (校园活动)ampus activities have been organized in many universities and colleges. These activities range from academic to recreational, such as academic reports, social consulting services, speech contests, poet’s cl ub, painting clubs, singing and dancing groups, etc.These activities provide students with two major advantages. First of all, they play apositive role in improving students’ studies. Due to their heavy schedules, students are often busy themselves with textbooks and seldom expose themselves to a colorful life. But the variety of the activities provides opportunities for them to relax themselves and enrich their minds and knowledge. In addition, the activities also serve students living in the “ivory tower” have little chance to get in touch with society. Now the activities open the door for participants to leave their classrooms and get to know society.All this offers an important means for students to broaden their horizons. They believe with the right kind of guidance and help campus activities will continue to grow and flourish 15. Can you say something about the living conditions on campus?enerally speaking, I enjoy my life here. The accommodation, canteen and some other basic living facilities are becoming students’ major concern .There are many factors will influence our likes and dislikes.In the first place, the accommodation service of our university has gained in acceptance increasingly because of its high quality and relatively low expense.esides, our dormitory usually makes a good impression on us. It is mostly attributed to its fantastic but plain construction, delicate but comfortable arrangement and magnificent but practical furniture. Fine sanitation and prompt cleaning are also appreciated. More importantly, the strict management of working and resting as well as coming in and going out, both parents and teachers can greatly relieve the psychological burden of safety.oreover the upgraded canteen service is pretty good. So we need not worry that we would lose our appetite when far away from home. The varieties of the food are so wide that we can enjoy differently delicious dish everyday. What’s more, the prices are very reasonable. We ar e satisfied physically and mentally.It’s no denying that some complaints still exist. Some students may argue that the accommodation management is so stern that they have to go to bed before the power supply being cut off at 10:30 pm. The dining hall is so crowded that we must spend at least five minutes finding our seats at peak hours. Some girls complain that the rice is so hard to chew.Actually, it still leaves much room to be improved. But “A contented mind is the greatest blessing a man can enjoy in this world. When you strike a balance between ideal and the reality, you’ll certainly enjoy yourself here.16. Do you find life on campus convenient? Please give your reasons.Yes, I have found that my life on campus quite convenient. As can be seen on campus, our university offers us various sorts of ways to facilitate our life.For example, our comprehensive building can greatly satisfy almost all kinds of needs. We can surf on the internet reading some current news, have dishes and go shopping in the First Supermarket or six department stores. Additionally, for those who like reading, our close library building can surely be a favorite place. We can get access to three reading-rooms everyday from 8:00am to 9:30pm. Kinds of latest newspaper, up-to-date magazines and famous works, concerning all branches of knowledge are available. With the flow of refreshing information and incredible amount of knowledge, our thoughts will be refined and our horizon will be broadened. Moreover, we can borrow three books from the library every month. What’s more, if we want to enjoy the convenience that modern technology brings us, electrical libraries make the on-line learning approachable at the lowest price. It seems like just with the small library card at hand, we can keep in touch with the history and future.round our campus, the back street also provides abundant convenience for us. Kinds of delicious snacks may make you drool. Clothes and decoration shops are always filled with latest fashion. Some book stores and internet bar usually on the two sides of the street too.t last, I’d like to mention the convenient transportation available. No.2 and No.18 bus coming every 5 minutes, they respectively stop at the front and back gate. We can go downtown at any time of the day.Personally, life on our campus is convenient.17. Some students spend a lot of time surfing the net. Do you think it’s a problem?nternet is the result of modern science and technology. With development of society, internet plays a more and more important role in people’s life. However, some students spend a lot of time surfing net, I think, it is a problem. Because it has its advantages and disadvantages. For its advantages: (1) internet is source of amusement such as movie, play, music and so on. (2) Learning about the latest News all over the world. (3) Learning about the developments in science, arts etc. for its disadvantages: (1) Distracting students from their work and study. (2) Taking up too much of students’ time. (3) Corrupting students with some harmful shows due to its violence and sex.18. Do you have access to the Internet on campus? Which sites do you often visit and why?often surf online in our college labs, because of its good studying atmosphere. In lads, I like surf the internet. Some sites I often go to visit, like . In our campus internet, I like attend some courses online, for example, college English and so on. Besides that, I like to watch the English movies and music. It excite me a lot.irstly, .Theoretical knowledge is beneficial to the society. Theory study is providing powerful tools for us to deal with the world around us as well as the body within ourselves.econdly, theoretical findings pave ways for more advanced scientific as well as social studies. Take mathematics for example. Many people are under the impressions that advanced mathematical study in university is so theoretical that it does not have any practical value. However, the truth is that, ours is an age in which all areas of science are permeated more and more by methods and approaches derived from theoretical knowledge in mathematics. Even marketing, once believed to be just an art of persuading people to buy, is now becoming a scientific subject based on statistical studies of market data, which requires profound mathematical knowledgehirdly, Practical skills are based on theoretical knowledge. / Practical trainings and theoretical studies are interrelated. Some professions require that people have solid understanding in theoretical knowledge before going into practice in those professions.or example, to be a qualified doctor, someone will have to first learn theoretical knowledge at a medical school for a few years, then at the final years at the school, he or she will be given chance to practice in a hospital to gain practical experience. Only with a combined knowledge both in theory and in practical skills can a person truly become a successful doctor. The same goes with a number of other professions such as lawyers, psychiatrists etc.e have specialized schools such as polytechnic schools and vocational schools etc. which can provide practical trainings, for example schools specialized in teaching cooking skills. Therefore university students should focus more on theoretical knowledge.’m a sophomore/or a freshman, and my major is tourism & hotel management . There are so many subjects for us. In the class, almost of us focus our attention on the major, which is appealing to us.Generally speaking, major is very important, we will be able to learn so much knowledge about it , including information & development in the field, even the future trends, and some knowledge about the hotel management, which can help us to boarden our eyesight, improve our level of management, what’s more, to seek a very glorious job. Is that so ?f course, meanwhile, besides the major, other subjects concerning on it are also very important for us, for instance, English & communicative skills, and Why? Here are the reasons.irstly, English is so important for us, in this field, if you want to be elicit or have a very good performance, you should speak English very fluently, Especially when you meet foreign guests, successful communication is very important. Can you image what will happen, when foreigners say something but you can’t understand, an d how you can solve the problem or anything else, even sometimes the situation is so embarrassed, in the case ,except for the major, English is very necessary for us to grasp and learn very well. At the same time, in our spare time we also should know some culture and customs in the west countries.econdly, communicative skills are also very important, because our major is touring, which is dealt with tourists , to communicate with them very successfully is very important, but how to solve the problem very well may bring the guests good or bad impression. As far as we know, successful & suitable communication with guests is so important. So we should learn some communicative skills after class. we can go to the library to borrow some books concerning on this field, even we can learn the optional subjects to increase our knowledge.Last is not least, English and communicative skills are very necessary &important for us. we should broaden our level of knowledge and improve ourselves.21. Could you say something about the way your English class is conducted? How do you like it?es. At the beginning of our class our English teacher gives us 5 minutes to have a free talk or gives us some topic to talk about in order to stimulate our interests in English learning. The atmosphere in the classroom is relaxing and pleasant. And then the teacher leads us to the content. In the teaching process, our teacher uses modern teaching method showing us much background knowledge which we like very much. We also have some activities to practice our spoken English, such as retelling the text, discussing in groups, role playing, etc. After that, our teacher gives some comments and encourages those who are shy, praises those who give very good opinions.think our English class is very interesting. Our teacher can speak very fluent English. The lecture is vivid. It’s very useful. I like it very much.22. How did you learn to speak English?learned to speak English when I was still a junior high school student. My English teacher taught me to retell and recite English lessons. Always being praised by my English teacher for my excellent job, I was very happy. So gradually I became confident of myself. Then I went to senior high school during which I found English, though still very important, became increasingly difficult. I have many subjects to learn, you know. We are all very busy. To remember those numerous words is not easy, let alone speak them in daily conversation. Whenever my English teacher asked me to retell a story, I would be extremely nervous, for I knew I would be losing face. Now I’m studying in the university. English is not my major though; it’s still a required subject. Whet her I like it or not, I have to study it. Besides, I have to try my best to get a decent score in the Band 4 College English Test. Oral English isn’t included in the test, however, it is closely related to your listening ability. If a person cannot speak E nglish, What’s the use of learning it? So every morning before class begins, I always sit in a classroom and loudly read out English. I’m no longer shy, especially when I tried to argue with my classmates on some problems in English. I have regained confidence. Every Wednesday when I’m free, I will go to the English Corner to have more practice. There I have made a lot of new friends who are working just as hard as me. We plan to go to graduate school after we finish the bachelor’s degree. This is my ambiti on. What about you?23. What are you going to do to further improve your English?Well, in addition to attending regular English classes, I believe there are many other ways for us college students to further improve our English. Here’s how I plan to do: To begin with, I will review what is learnt and preview what will be learnt in class just as I have done in the past. Reviewing helps me grasp what is learnt in class and previewing helps me ready for the new knowledge.Second, I will try every means to improve my oral English and listening comprehension. English Corner is a good place for me to practice my oral English and I decide to visit there more frequently. Moreover, computer and the internet are very useful tools for study. I plan to visit the websites which are useful for us to improve English whenever possible. So far I have found some excellent materials for English learning through computer. What’s more, I will also watch English programs on TV, which is helpful to improve my English study.Lastly, I will read frequently English newspapers, novels and magazines to improve my reading comprehension. I will try to keep a diary about what I read and what I experience to practice writing because we all know ‘Practice makes perfect’.。
