综合英语（1）网上教学活动文本（.12.15）
Hello, everyone.
Welcome to this online session for the end-of-term tutorial for Zonghe Yingyu, book 1. I hope some of you guys may be able to spare some time with me here.

nice clip of audio on how to take exams
Here you will find a nice clip of audio about how to take exams in general, such as what you do beforehand, how you deal with difficult items, etc etc. I found the audio clip online, but I have to apologize that I forgot where I got it. But it is with some valuable information in general terms and besides, it is fun to have some listening practice as well.

I just put in some audio file on how to take exams generally. In case you have not noticed it, it is in the posting I sent in with the title of "nice clip of audio on exams". The attached file is at the end of the posting, which says

有关试题的结构和难度：
综合英语一试题的结构想必大家从期末复习指引里已经了解了，我就不在这里一一发给大家了。这里只简单简介一下每部分的内容。
第一部分，重要是考查大家对所学习的十四个单元对话和阅读课文里词汇的掌握程度。
第二部分，考查大家对教材中学习或复习过的语法现象，如时态、附加疑问句、分词、等等诸多语法现象的了解和熟悉程度。
第三部分和第四部分是对话功效方面的考核。重要检查大家对十四个单元里对话的熟悉程度。

问：综合英语是一门很好的学科
刘占荣：希望你能喜欢，也能从中学习到真正地道用得上的英语。

问：今日不是有教学活动吗？不是四点开始的吗？
刘占荣：hehe, yes. I am here already. The pity is perhaps all of the RTVU students are so loyal to their work unit, and it seems they are pretty much engaged in their work, rather than this tutorial.
Indeed, you are an early bird, the very first one here.

问：Is exercise count or mass count? Our English teacher said that it a mass count, but I saw the text have a sentence’ Do you think these exercises would be helpful on a long flight?’
刘占荣：Exercise can be both countable and uncountable, if that is what you mean by count or mass count. 好象我在日常答疑里简单地回答过了你的这个问题.

问：Exercise is count or mass count?
Exercise 的含义
刘占荣：问的是 exercise 是可数还是不可数名词，是吗？当作练习讲时，是可数的。如，5 exercises on page 7. 而当作体育锻炼讲时，是不可数名词。 实际上，也不绝对。假如指诸多详细的锻炼活动，也是能够用可数的。是能够有复数形式的。

王爱：刘老师下午好！安徽电大参加讨论
刘占荣：Hello, Mr Wang. I've been just feeling lonely here, and then there in came you.
Great seeing you!
刘占荣：So am I!

问：‘America’s skilled whit-collar work force has overtaken the ranks of skilled blue-collar workers for the first time.在这句里为何用America’s而不用American?这句该怎么翻译呢？skilled 应译为何？？
刘占荣：America's 不等于 American. 前者指美国的,属于这个国家的;而后者更强调美国特色的、美国人的。这句话能够翻译为： 美国技术精良的白领工人初次超出了技术娴熟的蓝领工人的数量。skilled, 纯熟的，技术熟悉的，娴熟的。

问：There are too much reading comprehension in the test, I am a little doubt that we haven’t enough time to finish it.
刘占荣：normally, i think you will have enough time to finish the test. We have tested on trial students when we set up the test format. And from the past experience, time should not be an issue.

问：How did discriminate ‘wait for’ and ‘expect’
刘占荣：wait for: 等候。 expect 期待,希望。 假如简单地说 等候，这两个词是都能够用的。不过，expect 更有希望，希冀的含义。

问：学生普遍问今年考试的难度怎样，呵呵
刘占荣：有关试题的难度，跟往年是基本同样的。其实，同学们也许需要关心的不是到底有多难，而是熟悉试题的结构，大约每个题型的选择范围等。

问：How are you? Could you tell me the time of exam. (the particular dates of Integrated English oral English ,listening English or theory or DengXiaoPing . could you tell me your English name? Thanks a lot .
刘占荣：Sorry, first, I am a Mr not a Miss.
Second, I am here in CRTVU. I assume you thought that I was from your local center.
Third, about the specific date of exams for different courses, I hope you can check with your local center.

问：How to improve oral English? We haven’t too much time to practice them in class, outside class, we even have no time to practice, and no partner either.
刘占荣：just a quick suggestion: GET online. These days, there are so many good web sites, and you can find many others who are following English courses, and who also have similar problems as yours. So why work together with them and talk to them online. You can go to visit my personal web blog. It is particularly aimed for students who are following 综合英语系列课程. I hope you can go to read the past blogs and follow closely the new ones i will put up in the future. the site is at

问：the sentence "it must be getting /have /got ^^^^^^"
sometimes it's continue and sometime not ,I don't know how to use .please advise .thanks
刘占荣：must 在这里表示猜测,很肯定的猜测。 例如下面这几句话： it must be getting late, otherwise it wouldn't be so dark outside. 一定很晚了，要不外面不会这么黑的。 must have + 过去分词，表示对过去事情的猜测。如： He must have left the window open when he left the room. 他离开房间时一定没关窗户。

问：Could you tell me your english name? Thanks
刘占荣：
I seldom use it.
If you prefer using English names, you can call me Gerald.
BTW, do you happen to know where and how I got this name? To give you some clues, I got it from a classic novel, and I think it is a nice name, so I just adopted it. You can go and read loads of English novels and then tell which book has the name. Of course, to find out where the name is from is not important. What is important is, you can try your best to read as more as possible. Personally, it is the best way to learn the language and culture.

问：What do your think of Voice of America ? Could you tell me a website about it.
刘占荣：I'm not sure about your listening English. The special English programs are good for lower level practice, and the normal speed programs are aimed for higher level listeners. There are many sites with VOA and many other radio programs. I know on the following two sites, there are many programs there. you can go and take a look. ；

问：Could you tell me the different comparative/superlative of adverbs between the comparative/superlative of adjective .
刘占荣：I think the difference lies not in the comparative/superlative forms, rather, in the difference between adjectives and adverbs. If you can distinguish between adjectives and adverbs, then there should not be much difficulty in the comparative/superlative forms. 形容词和副词的比较级和最高级的组成，你最佳能查阅一下有关的语法书。-er, -est 和 more, most 是组成比较级和最高级的基本形式。这里就不 go into details.

问：形容词的比较级/最高级 是不是三个音节以上的+more or most 副词的比较级/最高级 是不是两个音节以上的+more or most
刘占荣：不能简单地说两个或三个音节以上。以-ly 结尾的副词一般用 more 和 most 来组成比较级和最高级。不是以 -ly结尾的副词，其变化形式跟形容词同样。

问：There are many culture in the guide book. could you tell me if it's important , do i need recite them? or read? Thanks
刘占荣：No, they are not meant to be recited. They are there for you to read and enjoy. As you may have known, it is important for one to pick up the culture associated with it while learning a foreign language.

问：we got a red book from our tutor, Could you tell me if the final's frame as same as this book ?
刘占荣：Are you talking about the “红宝书” 《综合英语 1 期末副词指引》？ If it is that booklet, the item structure of the final test is similar, and the difficulty level as well. But, don't assume that there will be items from that book. It is only for you to get a glimpse of what kind of items may be included, and how the items may be marked, in the final test. Wish you success!

问：I need recite the new word of the guide /the article or conversation of the study book ,is it right? could tell me about this ?
刘占荣：I think it is to do with the personal learning style. As for me, I will never ever recommend people to recite only the words or vocabulary list. Rather, if you try to read the dialogues and text many times, and try to recite some nice paragraphs, I would give you big applause. Try to learn words in the context, that is what I mean.

问：I greatly appreciate your timely help, thank you.
刘占荣：It's my pleasure. If you have further questions, you can always send them here. I will try to answer them asap. Normally I will log on here every few days and will be able give you some feedback. Also, give you a webblog I have been keeping. It is about this course 新思维综合英语系列教材. You can leave messages there, you can also read a lot of materials I gathered, you can also work on many of the online activities. The pages are at

问：我有做过诸多历届试题，我学得第一部分、完形填空和阅读了解和最后一部分太难了，阅读了解可不能够少出某些题呢？
刘占荣：综合英语考试题目里第一部分一般都是课文和对话里学习过的某些词汇使用方法。完型填空和阅读了解是难度低与教材内容的阅读片段。翻译题目都选自对话或阅读课文。就整套考试题目来说，其实难度并不是很大。核心在于你平时的积累和英语综合水平。

刘占荣：Great many thanks for those who have been with me, and who have made the last two hours not so BORING if I had been alone. Hope you have enjoyed it and hope you will all be successful in your final exams.
