(1)、要提高我们的英语水平,关键是多读、多写、多听、多说。此外,尽可能多背熟一些好文章也十分重要。如果你脑子里没有储存大量好的英语文章,你就不能用英语自由的表达自己的思想。一边学一边总结经验也很有帮助,因为这样做,我们就能搞明白哪种学习方法是更有效的,能够产生最理想的效果。只要我们坚持努力学习,到时候我们就会完成掌握英语的任务。
To improve our English, it is critical to do more reading, writing, listening and speaking. Besides, learning by heart as many well-written essays as possible is also very important. Without an enormous store of good English writing in your head you cannot express yourself freely in English. It is also helpful to summarize our experience as we go along, for in so doing, we can figure out which way of learning is more effective and will produce the most desirable result. As long as we keep working hard on it, we will in due course accomplish the task of mastering English.
(2)、约翰先生的儿子乔治爱在晚上听重金属(heavy metal)音乐,这使社区其他居民无法入眠。疲惫不堪的邻居们终于失去了耐心,决定直接干预。他们打电话给约翰先生,坦率地把想法告诉了他。约翰先生向邻居们保证他一定会解决这个问题。放下电话他便去训斥儿子:“你这是怎么了?你该懂得不能为了你自己的娱乐而妨碍(disturb)别人。”结果乔治拿CD跟同学换了电脑游戏软件。
George, the son of Mr. Johnson, liked listening to heavy metal music in the evenings, which made it hard for other residents in the community to fall asleep. Eventually the exhausted neighbors lost their patience and decided on direct i nterference. They called Mr. Johnson to tell him in a frank manner what they were thinking. Mr. Johnson assured them that he would certainly settle the issue. As soon as he put down the phone he scolded his son, “What has come over you? You should know better than to disturb others for your own amusement.” In the end George traded his CDs for computer games software from his classmates.
(3)、众多事实证实这一说法:要想自己很快从低落的(negative)情绪中解脱出来,你得让自己哭。你不必为“哭”而感到羞愧。忧虑和悲伤能随同眼泪一起流出身体。
看一看唐娜(Donna)的例子吧。她的儿子在一次车祸中不幸丧生,这次打击之大使她欲哭无泪。他说:“直到两个星期后的一天,我才开始放声痛苦。然后,我便觉得好像一块大石头从我的肩上抬走了。是眼泪将我带回到了现实之中,帮助我渡过危机。”
Numerous facts bear out the argument that in order to recover speedily from negative emotion,you should allow yourself to cry.You needn’t be ashamed of crying.Anxiety and sorrow can flow out of the body along with tears.
Consider the case of/Take Donna.Her son unfortunately died in a car accident.The intensity of the blow made her unable to cry.She said,”It was not until two weeks later
that I began to cry.And then I felt as if a big stone had been lifted from my shoulders.It was the tears that brought me back to earth and helped me survive the crisis.”
(4)、虽然英语是如何产生的对许多人来说还是个谜,语言学家认为它和很多欧洲语言来自同一个源头,即印欧母语。英语最初是在公元五世纪入侵英格兰的盎格鲁—撒克逊人使用的。他们将英语的基本词汇传给了我们。在十五多个世纪的发展中,英语通过大量借用丰富了自己。随着英国移民登陆美洲并建立了独立的美利坚合众国,英语又增添了一个新的变种:美语。虽然有人担忧英语的发展失控了,但大多数以英语为母语的人对他们的语言的宽容性感到自豪。
Though how the English language came into existence remains a mystery to many people, linguists believe that English and most other European languages have descended from a common source: the Indo-European parent language. English was first spoken by the Anglo-Saxons who invaded England in the fifth century. They passed onto us the basic vocabulary of English. In over fifteen centuries of its development, English has enriched itself by massive borrowing. As British immigrants landed in America and established the United States as an independent nation, a new variety was added to the English language: American English. Though some people worry that the language is running out of control, many native speakers of English take pride in the tolerance of their language.
