英语口语实践教程.docx

学外语的十条经验：1、学习外语一天也不能中断。倘若确实没有时间，哪怕每天挤出10分钟也行；早晨是学习外语的大好时光。2、要是学厌了，不必过于勉强，但也不要扔下不学。这时可以改变一下学习方式；比如把书放到一边去听听广播，或暂时搁下课本的练习去翻翻词典等。3、绝不要脱离上下文孤立地去死背硬记。4、应该随时地记下并背熟那些平日用得最多的“句套子”。5、尽可能心译你接触到的东西，如一闪而过的广告，偶而听到的话语，这也是一种休息的方式。6、只有经过教师修改的东西才值得牢记。不要反复去看那些做了而未经别人修改 的练习，看多了就会不自觉地连同错误的东西一起记在脑了里。假如你纯属自学而无旁人相助，那你就去记那些肯定是正确无误的东西。7、抄录和记忆句子和惯用语时要用单数第一人称，如“I am only pulling your leg(我只是要戏弄你) 8、外语好比碉堡，必须同时从四面八方向它围攻：读报纸，听广播，看原文电影，听外语讲演，攻读课本，和外国朋友通讯，来往，交谈等等。9、要敢于说话，不要怕出错误，要请别人纠正错误。尤为重要的当别人确实为你纠正错误时，不要难为情，不要泄气。10、要坚信你一定能达到目的，要坚信自己有坚强不屈的毅力和语言方面的非凡才能0.句型： engage (sb.) in sth； sb. be engaged in sth.Make Full Use of TimeA proverb says：“Time is money.” But in my opinion, time is even more precious than money. Why? Because when money is spent, we can earn it back. However, when time is gone, it will never return. This is the reason why we must value time.It goes without saying that the time for our study and work is unusually limited. Hence, even an hour is extremely precious. We should make full use of our time to do useful things. As students we must not relax our efforts to engage in our studies so as to serve our nation and people in the future.But it is a pity that there are a lot of people who do not know the importance of time. They spend their precious time smoking, drinking and gambling. They do not realize that wasting time is equal to wasting their valuable life.In a word, we should get into the good habit of saving time. Do not put off what can be done today until tomorrow. Laziness will not only bring us failure but also lead us to the road of poverty. Expressing taking part in sth.1) take part in sth. 2) go in for sth.3) take up sth.4) work on / at sth.5) be occupied in sth./ doing sth.6) be busy doing sth. / with sth. 1. 句型: be informed of/about sth； inform sb.of/about sth.The Importance of Extensive Reading What is extensive reading? Extensive reading is reading a lot. When you are doing extensive reading, you should not be reaching for a dictionary every sentence or even every paragraph because its main goal is to read for knowledge and pleasure.Through extensive reading, you learn and accumulate knowledge, and gradually become wise and intelligent. For example, by reading scientific books, we are informed of many facts; by reading history, we are told of the growth of the nations.It is by reading that we can learn many things without actually seeing or hearing them. What is more, with a good book in our hands we will never feel lonely and dull. Books introduce us to great people. They take us to all the countries in the world and tell us stories of all ages. “Reading makes a full man”, said by Francis Bacon. Therefore, no matter how high our education may be or how much experience we may have, we cannot become a full man unless we keep extensive reading. Expressing telling sb. sth.1) keep oneself well informed about2) tell sb. sth.3) let sb. know4) notify sb. of sth. / that sth.2. 句型: Its window faces a busy street.Our DormitoryOur dormitory, shared by 8 students, is on the third floor of the Students Dormitory Building No. 5.

Some students pick up jobs related to their major to acquire practical training, while others take any job to support themselves.It goes without saying that working part-time in school has some advantages. First, a part-time job brings students more money and helps them to reduce their parents economic burdens. Second, it offers them a chance to demonstrate their ability and to apply what they have learned in school. Third, it helps them to gain some social and economic knowledge and to practice their sociable abilities, which are of great help to their future careers. Finally, it enriches their school life.But this activity may also bring some disadvantages to the students. First, too much part-time working may lose their time needed for sleep, rest, study and recreation. Secondly, it may affect their studies if they come back with tiredness. And as a result, their studies are going down. Finally, more money may bring bad effects on some of the students who spend it smoking, drinking, dressing rather than studying.In my opinion, those students should keep a balance between study and the job. As a student, acquiring more knowledge, especially more useful knowledge from books, is the main task. Although a part-time job can do you a world of good, you should not spend too much time on it.

Then he would find a way to make his lecture an easy task for his students.In class, he would surely present his lecture in the most interesting way. Like a film director, he often assigned a role for each student to play. At one time, he spoke seriously, and at other time, he might joke.

Dont leave everything to memorize after class. Secondly, when you have difficulty in understanding, always ask yourself why several times before you go to ask your teacher or classmates. Thirdly, you must finish your homework on time. Dont let Sunday become another work day.
