When we want to describe a number of actions or events, we will use different tenses in a sentence, a paragraph and a whole composition. Necessary changes in verb tense help readers understand the relationships among various events. But if we make unnecessary or inconsistent shifts in tenses, it will cause misunderstanding. Generally, we keep on e tense as the main tense and indicate changes of time by changing tenses relative to that primary tense.Step 3 Practical Writing ( 45 mins)Bank Account FormThere are several kinds of accounts available, such as regular savings accounts, certificates of deposit, joint accounts, and trust accounts.Step 4 AssignmentsSuppose you want to open a 6-month individual certificate of deposit by yourself (not jointly or in trust for someone else).

It has offices in 38 countries.(4) the main idea of the text and each paragraph(5) notes to the text1. I decided early in my college years that I wanted to experience living abroad before entering the "real world." (Para 1)Shortly after I entered college I made the decision that I should not find a job after graduation. I would first go and live in a foreign country for a while.2. During my senior year, while most of my friends were interviewing for "real world" jobs, I was investigating how I could go work in a different country. (Para 1) During the last year of my 4 years at college, most of my classmates were looking for jobs and having interviews while I was asking for information about how I could go and work ina foreign country.3. At the early stage of my inquiry I was pretty open about where to go and what kind of work to undertake. (Para 1)When I first asked about the possibility of experiencing living abroad, I didn’t have a specific idea as to where to go and what kind of work to take, and would consider almost anything that looked attractive.4. The day after I arrived, I experienced my first British holiday-a Bank holiday, a national holiday where everything is closed for the day. (Para 3)Bank Holiday is a holiday of national importance such as Christmas or New Year’s Day when banks and some other businesses are closed (altogether there are 8-10 of these per year in the UK)5. It wasn’t until my third day that I visited the BUNAC office and went through orientation. (Para 3)On the third day I visited the BNUAC office and had a formal process of learning about my new circumstances.6. I was most scared about finding a job since my financial resources were running low and I needed to get a paycheck soon. (Para 3)I was not sure and thus worried if I could find a job but I needed a job badly because I had very little money left and no easy way to get any.7. It was easy to adjust to life in London. And there is so much to see that after 6 months exploring I probably covered only half of what I intended. (Para 5)It was easy to make the changes needed to live in London. After staying there for 6 months, I probably visited and did only half of the places and activities I had initially intended.8. Most of my coworkers were British so I feel like I really got to know and learn the British culture through such a huge aspect of a British person's daily life. (Para 6) Living in London where most of my coworkers were English, I felt as though I really got to know and learn about quite a bit about English culture.(6) language points1. adjust to:to make necessary changes in order to make right or make suitable for a particular purpose or situatione.g.Some people from small towns have trouble adjusting to the fast pace of urban life.•After the kids become grown-ups the parents must adjust to having fewer people in the house.2. choose from:to pick out or select (sb. / sth. that one prefers or considers the best, most suitable, etc.) from a number of alternatives.•Students have many different majors to choose from.•Drivers have many different brands of cars to choose from.3. cover:to include (sth.); deal with; travel (a certain distance)•he class covered only half of what the teacher intended•Our trip covered only half of what the tour guide intended.4. experience:v. to suffer, feel, or know n. knowledge or skill which comes from practice rather than from books, or the gaining of it.•I experienced my first British holiday.•You have the chance to gain valuable work experience.•He experienced great difficulty in getting a visa to leave the country.•I know from my own experience how difficult this kind of work can be.5. get to learn / know:become familiar with•After you get to know him, you will find that he’s really quite nice.•You’ll get to know and like the city more after you’ve lived here for a while.6.

Unit 4 Living on Your OwnPassage A Marcela's Work ExperienceI decided early in my college years that I wanted to experience living abroad before entering in the "real world." During my senior year, while most of my friends were interviewing for "real world" jobs, I was investigating how I could go work in a different country. At that early stage of my inquiry I was pretty open about where to go and what kind of work to undertake. My desire to live abroad was so strong that I was willing to do anything anywhere.Soon I learned about BUNAC, a program that seemed to be designed precisely for students with such interests. BUNAC offers work visas for students or recent graduates to work overseas. Of the six countries available, I chose England because of the language and opportunities for employment.Two months after I graduated from college I crossed the Atlantic. I traveled throughout Europe for six weeks before arriving in London. I got to London on August 24, 1997 with a work visa, but no job or place to live. I have to admit it was pretty scary! The day after I arrived, I experienced my first British holiday-Bank Holiday, a national holiday where everything is closed for the day. It wasn't until my third day that I visited the BUNAC office and went through orientation. At the orientation I learned all about living and working in Britain; I learned about getting around in the city, making a CV (Curriculum Vitae-British resume), paying taxes, getting health insurance, traveling around Britain, finding accommodations and most importantly, finding a job. I was most scared about finding a job since my financial resources were running low and I needed to get a paycheck soon.It turns out that finding a job was just as easy as making a CV! The BUNAC program is very well known in London and many employers participate in the program. As a result there are many employers in many different fields to choose from. My job search began when I chose three different business employers and faxed them my cover letter1 and CV. That first week I had three interviews. I accepted my first offer working for Merrill Lynch International Bank. The Merrill Lynch office I worked at was in a beautiful, old building located two blocks from Buckingham Palace. The people were nice and the work interesting.It was easy to adjust to life in London. And there is so much to see that after six months exploring I probably covered only half of what I intended.Working in London has many advantages. For one, I truly get to learn the culture by being immersed in its workforce. Most of my coworkers were British so I feel like I really got to know and learn the British culture through such a huge aspect of a British person's daily life. Secondly, it is an economical way to live and travel in another country since most jobs pay enough to cover rent, living expenses and some travel expenses. And thirdly, I have the chance to gain valuable work experience and internationalize my resume.Working in London has been the best decision I have made so far. I would not hesitate for a second to recommend it to anyone!A篇玛塞娜的工作经历进大学不久我就下定决心,在进入"现实世界"前先到国外呆一段。

Summarize the passageSummary: Leaving home for the first time, either to go to college or for some other reason, can be difficult. With no parents nearby, there are many new decisions to make on our own. Decisiveness and creativity are both needed to make these decisions wisely. Plans and rules may be needed. But every day different situations may arise. It’s impossible to have a plan or a rule for every situation. That’s why creativity is also needed. Being away from home may teach some young people to appreciate their parents even more.2. Check the answers of Ex. 12, 13 and 14Section III Write and Produce (2 periods)Step 1 Revision (10mins)Dictation of words and phrases in Passage A and BStep 2 Grammar (35 mins)Consistency of Verb TensesWe use the verb tense to indicate the particular time of an action, event or condition. When we want to describe a number of actions or events, we will use different tenses in a sentence, a paragraph and a whole composition. Necessary changes in verb tense help readers understand the relationships among various events.But if we make unnecessary or inconsistent shifts in tenses, it will cause misunderstanding. Generally, we keep one tense as the main tense and indicate changes of time by changing tenses relative to that primary tense.Step 3 Practical Writing ( 45 mins)Bank Account FormThere are several kinds of accounts available, such as regular savings accounts, certificates of deposit, joint accounts, and trust accounts.Step 4 AssignmentsSuppose you want to open a 6-month individual certificate of deposit by yourself (not jointly or in trust for someone else). (When you sign the form) you promise now to withdraw the money for at least 6 months or you will have to pay a penalty. Try to fill out the form.11。

大学体验英语综合教程1  Unit 1-4 课文翻译

第一单元我在哈佛的第一周新生迈进哈佛校园的第一天,据说总是令人兴高采烈,激动不已。

这的确也是我来到哈佛第一天的真实写照。

父母陪着我开车驶过主校门进入校园时,那柔和的阳光透过绿树间隙照射在具有历史意义的砖墙建筑物上。

沾满晨露的绿草在阳光下闪闪发光。

我凝视着车窗外面的迷人景色,自忖“最幸运的新生不过如此了!”我们来到了卡纳迪公寓——我的宿舍楼。

我和四个女孩同住在四室一厅的套房里。

这个套房在顶楼,天花板很高,上面有天窗。

从卡纳迪公寓到餐厅和上课的教室,都只需要两分钟的路程。

我很喜欢自己的室友。

我们各自的背景、种族、宗教信仰和兴趣爱好都完全不同。

这也映衬出哈佛引以自豪的“多样性”。

第一周,幸亏有这样四个可称为朋友的女孩相伴,帮助我顺利度过了到哈佛后的这段适应期。

这一周有许多重要的抉择需要我来做,而没有父母和好友的帮助,有时我会感到十分艰难。

选课是第一步。

在哈佛,新生唯一的必修课是说明文写作。

这一年,我实际上可以选修我想学的任何课程,而且课程的门类出奇地多!我该如何选择呢?庆幸的是哈佛允许新生在“选课周”里到课堂试听。

上课时间和平时一样,我们可以试听任何想选修的课程,多少不限。

如果我最后决定选修某一门课程,我就要完成“选课周”里布置的所有功课。

另外,如果我试听了一门选课表上看似很好的课程,却发现这门课并不适合我,或教授讲课枯燥乏味,我可以决定不选修这门课!同样艰难的是在众多的运动队、出版社团、乐队、戏剧社或俱乐部中做出选择。

到底该参加哪一个呢?在哈佛,就餐肯定也是新生最关注的事情之一。

不仅是一日三餐吃什么——吃的都是美味,更值得一提的是就餐的环境真的很好。

我们的餐厅更像是一个教堂或博物馆。

桌子、椅子、地板、墙壁,还有高高的天花板都是用华丽的深色木料制作的,油漆得精光锃亮。

而且,大厅里悬挂着枝形吊灯,墙上镶嵌着明亮的彩色玻璃窗,厅里到处可见哈佛历史名人的雕塑和画像。

哈佛第一周的所有这些经历将成为我毕生的珍贵记忆。

“This is going to prevent a lot of young adults from living independently , out of school, from being able to pay off their credit card debt, because we see credit card debt continuing to rise and adding more interest payments on to a student loan is gonna affect that. Parents are also gonna be in trouble. You are talking about supporting children in their twenties while saving and trying to retire.” Whether you are still a student or you are a grad who's already strapped with payments, you should consolidate.

Paying for college is about to get harder. Starting in July, interest rates on new student loans will rise to 6. 8%, from today's rate of 4. 7%. And interest rates on new loans that parents take out called PLUS loans will rise to 8. 5%. The bottom line is that getting your degree is getting even more expensive. On a $20, 000 loan, students will be paying about $2500 more, just in interest payments over the life of the loan. And parents will have to put up $3, 000 more.
