《说说英语写作中的套话》
说说英语写作中的套话
在评改同学们的习作时,笔者总是看到一些考生在文章的开头使用“It goes without saying that „”或“There’s no denying the fact that „”等套话。还有一些考生使用更长、更复杂的套话,比如,仿照《独立宣言》的首句,写成:“We hold these truth to be self-evident that „”或者仿照简·奥斯丁在小说《傲慢与偏见》中的写法,写成:“It is a truth universally acknowledged that „”笔者经常想,这种只占字数、不表达思想的句子在作文中出现,考官会怎么看?他们会觉得考生的写作水平高吗?考生当然也很无奈:要完成一篇250~300个词的英文文章,如果不写这些套话,要写够字数,还不能写得太简单,那都写什么呀?
看来,问题不在于该不该写这些套话,而在于如果不写套话,那么考生该用什么来取代它们,以使作文简练、流畅而不装腔作势。下面笔者列出几种套话写作的处理方法,和大家共享。
一、宁写一词、不写一句
这种方法主要用于替换引言套句。具体的办法是将主题句前面的“It goes without saying that „”“There’s no denying the fact that„”等引言套句换成一个副词,直接引出主题句。比如,考生写一篇关于“互联网”的文章,一般都会习惯性地用引言套句引出主题句,写成:“It goes without saying that the Internet has offered people a way to communicate.”(句子1)还有些担心字数不够的考生甚至把上述句子扩充为:“I’m quite certain that a growing of number of people, youngsters in particular, would agree that the Internet has offered people a way to communicate.”坦率地讲,在最初用英文写作时,笔者也经常用这样的句子,而且每次用心中都会感到一种巨大的“成就感”。但你对英文写作熟悉了之后,就会慢慢发现,上述句子中的“I’m quite certain that a growing number of people, youngsters in particular, would agree that”(句子2)除了占用了你策划主题句的时间,实在没有什么实用价值。
相反,如果写作时不写这样的套句,而直接用副词引出主题句,则不光观点鲜明、结构简练,还能让考官一眼看到主题。以上句为例,我们不如干脆写成:“Undeniably, the Internet has offered people a way to
communicate.”(句子3)这岂不更为简练?所以,考生与其花时间去背诵和主题无关的引言,还不如把精力放在主题句本身的锤炼上,完善结构,增加修辞,把主题句写精致。比如上面的句子,我们可以进一步改写成:“Undeniably, the Internet has revolutionized the ways people communicate.”(句子4)大家可以对比一下句子2和句子4,显然句子4的结构和修辞更有英语的韵味。 类似的替换写法很多,以下是一些常用的替换写法,大家可以参考:
1. “It is an indisputable fact that „”换成“Undeniably, „”
2. “We hold it truth to be self-evident that „”换成
“Evidently, „”
3. “There’s no denying the fact that „”换成“Undeniably, „”
4. “It is a well-known fact that „”换成“Not surprisingly, „”
5. “Even more worrying is the fact that „”换成“Even more disturbingly, „”
6. “It is obviously that „”换成“Obviously, „”
7. “It is vitally important tha”t换成“More importantly, „”
二:巧用结构,替换空话
诸如“with the development of our society”这样的句子可能是中国考生最爱写的一类套话了。考生通常会把这类套话安排在主题句的前面,美其名曰“先交代时代背景,再引出主题句”。这类套话还会衍生出无数“变种”,比较夸张的写法是:“Along with the dramatic economic growth and
groundbreaking social and psychological displacement, there’s an urgent demand that our country have more newspapers and magazines.”看过上千篇“范文”的考官一眼就能看出“Along with the dramatic economic growth and groundbreaking social and psychological displacement, there’s an urgent demand that”是“凑字”的空话。
那么该如何替换这一类空话呢?其中一个办法是使用“„„很重要,我们要重视”这样的句子形成主题句,然后对“„„很重要,我们要重视”这个意思进行结构变换或修辞处理,使用词和结构更加多样化。下面用语法结构解析的方法来逐一分析“„„很重要,我们要重视”的表达方式。
1. 用“主―系―表”结构表达。“主―系―表”结构是英语写作中最为基础的结构,它的基本结构是“名词 be (变形) 形容词”。在用该结构替换上文所述空洞无物的套话时,可以使用“not only 形容词, but also 形容词”结构,比如写成:“„ is not only necessary, but also indispensable”,然后后面再补充一句:“and that’s why we are supposed to emphasize its central position in our society.”这样就能成功将“随着社会的发展”这一空话替换下来。
2. 用“主―谓―宾”结构表达。上文中的句子还可以这样表达:“„ plays a significant part in our society, so it is essential that its position be
emphasized.”细心的考生可以发现,虽然是表达同一个意思,但“主―系―表”结构和“主―谓―宾”结构采用了不同的句子形式,这两种表达方式都直接、有效。
3. 用否定句和被动语态表达。否定句和被动语态结合起来使用能使表达更加多样,也更具客观性,如:“The central position of „ cannot be ignored. So we are expected to underscore its importance in our society.”
4. 用until正话反说或反话正说。可以用“„ has been overlooked until recently. But „”这一句型来为“„„很重要,我们要重视”这个意思做铺垫,从而使句意表达更加生动,比如:“The importance of „ has been in large measure overlooked until recently. But nowadays, it is not only necessary, but also indispensable in our society. ”
5. 将“重视”和“重要”的顺序颠倒,先写“重视”,再写“重要”。比如:“We are supposed to emphasize its central position in our society, because it is not only necessary, but also indispensable.”
三、用好“数据论证”,学会没话找话
这个方法讲不讲,我很纠结,上大班的时候点一下,冲刺班从来不讲。主要是这个招数太“险”,在这里也说一下。基础较好,已经写过或者背过范文的同学,考英语二的考生,这部分可以略过。
“数据论证”这个方法是一把双刃之剑,一方面它很管用,写得好的话,能形成流畅的论证过程;而另一方面,它有点像“谎话”,如果写不好,数据组织和延伸句之间不通顺,一看就像编“故事”,反而影响成绩。考生在使用这一方法时,可以巧妙地把数据论证和延伸句结合成一个整体。比如,《新概念英语》第三册第九课中,L.G. Alexander就曾用数据论证的办法证明“猫有九条命,是摔不死的”:
they have nine lives. Apparently, there’s a great deal of truth in this idea. A cat’s ability to survive falls is based on fact. Recently, the New York Animal Center made a study of 132 cats over a period of five months. All these experience have one thing in common: they have fallen off high buildings, yet only eight of them died from shock or injuries. 划线部分的句子将研究机构名称、实验数字、实验期限三个要素串接在一起,插接在主题句“they have nine lives”和延伸句“they have fallen off high buildings, yet only eight of them died from shock or injuries”之间,形成了一个有效的铺垫。这种写法虽然有点“耗字数”,但是对于写作时无话可说的考生来说,也不失为一个好的选择。
考生可以仿照上述文章的数据写作方法,采取“机构名称 调查数字调查期限”的写法写成句子,插接在主题句和延伸句之间。例如,考生可以将中间的铺垫句写成以下形式:
1. As can be seen in a recent survey by the China Daily, at least three out of every five interviewees believed that 延伸句
2. Recently the Beijing Youth made a study of 1,132 citizens for a period of two months. Despite their genders, occupations, religious background, social status and income levels, there is one thing in common: 延伸句
3. CCTV interviewed five people from five cities—they are from Harbin, Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai and Shenzhen respectively. The survey showed that 延伸句, in spite of their birthplace, educational background and socio-economical status.
我把这种写法叫做“断箭”(BROKEN ARROW),该词为美军的一个暗语,含义为“在危机下和对方同归于尽”,如果考生上了考场,两眼发黑、什么也想不起来,只需要做三件事:1)判定文章主题、2)罗织一点儿数据串接、3)把自己能想到的那些跟主题词相关的词组写几个上去。、
数据的字数千万不要覆盖全文,只要到两三行即可,然后立刻进入延伸,写“干货”。
到了“断箭”这个地步,绝境的绝境了,模板迹象暴露无遗。这等于和阅卷人说,我就:模板了,怎么着吧“!只要还能写上几行,不空着,阅卷人就得跟着你的思路走,看数据的时候觉得你在“闲扯”,可是到了延伸句却有点儿,又觉得你“有些干货”,觉得这小子写得虚虚实实,但是还是看懂了题目。分数不会太高,但是也绝不会到两分三分这个地步。
这属于“双杀”的写法了,即什么都不写“自杀”,字数不够只能两分左右;用得好、写得顺,杀掉“考题”,兴许还能得个8-10分的,看着不高,但是也比零分或者两分强点吧?这就叫“会你得写,不会你也得写”!
到了现在还是什么都没有背的考生、什么也记不住的考生、拿到考题脑子里面就一片空白的考生,这也许是你们的最后一招了。到了考场上,写完了第一段描述,第二段不会,千万不要什么都不写,这样第三段就是写成了“花儿”,你也到不了160字,少一个段落肯定低分,可是第二段如果用数据顶一下,写几个“靠谱”的,兴许还能招架一阵儿。什么都不写,写作直接“崩溃”,您就也许又得等明年再考了。
胆大心细、也许是个出路。

《说说英文论文写作》
近年来,国民生活水平的向上提高出国留学的人数也在不断的增长,论文辅导机构也如雨后春笋般出现,各位留学生在论文需要帮助的时候面对鱼龙混杂的机构不知道如何选择,也缺乏一定的选择经验,选择出现错误,结果被骗。
专业论文机构为什么会出现?
在当代,信息科技的向前发展,人民对于物质和精神的需求都在大大增加,然而每天任务繁多,时间确实有限,所以适合需求的产业就应运而生了。留学生寻求论文帮助的原因则是:第一,课业负担太重,科目多,期中作业期末作业压得学生喘不过气;第二,英文水准不行,及时有的留学生雅思可以达到8分,但毕竟是在中国长大的,具体的单词、语法使用规则太过死板,英语思维一两年内也不可能就形成了;第三,理论研究水平不行,很多学生写一篇中文的研究型文章都颇费脑力了对于词句的选择、句式的使用、内容的选择、结构的组织等要用英文写出,对于留学生来说实在是太难。
国内已有很多家如此性质的机构,但是看得有利可图,从学生身上得到了想要的,却没有提供相应价值的服务。优越论文已经营十多年,成功解决了无数留学生的课业负担。优越论文网实力究竟如何,能在留学生中间拥有极好的口碑呢?
以下是优越论文网独特的优势:

出国留学,有一部分学生英语基础不扎实,具有英语思维方式的就更是凤毛麟角,要想在这两方面有质的提高需要相当长的时间。但是要上交的作业太多,更多的学生会因为毕业论文熬夜,无奈有时熬夜赶制的论文也是会挂掉的。为了避免这些无用功,很多学生都会找论文机构进行辅导,但是目前国内的论文机构是数不胜数,同时也鱼龙混杂,所以大家在选择的时候一定要慎重,考察清楚再做决定。
选择什么样的机构才能是不被骗呢?那就必须是有诚信的机构。诚信在哪些方面?优越论文网老师在此提出专业指导。
1、 不透露客户任何信息。学生找论文机构很担心会泄露自己的一些信息,有的机构却为了最多获取学生的价钱会偶尔泄露学生的信息,这是非常要不得的。
2、不虚假承诺。一些机构不管学生什么学校什么专业什么学历的论文一概保证绝对没有问题而且会拿高分,以此承诺学生,事实上有的学生拿到的论文自己都觉得漏洞诸多。所以一定要告知客户自己的团队能把这件事情尽最大可能做到的程度。
3、不隐藏应该告知客户的信息。有的机构在客户付款之前无条件地答应任何要求,最为典型的就是无条件的免费修改,如果客户换题目了他们也会免费修改?中途加钱到时可能会很不愉快。还有的要检测抄袭率的,明明要收测试费的却不说明,也是找各种借口中途加钱。所以,诚信的机构必须在客户付钱之前把该告知的信息明确讲清楚。
4、按照客户的要求写。好的论文机构是完全遵守客户的要求进行辅导的,过程中客户有及时添加信息的也要适当地进行修改,耐心听取客户所述,不应因为添加要求而服务态度恶劣。
5、按时间交稿。按时间交稿是必须的,如果超过期限肯定就是没有价值了。但是有的机构保证按期交稿,却因为找不到写手,或者写手中间退出等状况机构没有及时找到解决的方法,这也是没有诚信的表现。
6、抄袭率有保证且报告附送。找论文机构除了要有以上保证,最重要的就是论文一定能通过。学校一般都会使用Turn it in 论文检测系统检测抄袭率,要想通过就必须保证抄袭率很低,而优越论文团队拿出的稿子抄袭率全部都是低于5%的。如果交上去的文章挂掉了而校方又没有提出挂掉的证据时,机构也不能抱着既然找不出证明就坚决不退款的心态无视客户的反应。讲诚信的机构是一定会解决论文不过关的任何问题的,而是努力地帮助客户找出原因并进行修改,
直到文章没有问题。
讲诚信的论文机构就是好的服务机构,能真正做到让客户满意,优越论文网就是这样的,很多成功案例可以在优越论文网官网中找到,同学们可以亲自体验一番。

《说说英语的音节构成》
说说英语的音节构成
音节:音节是读音的基本单位,任何单词的读音,都是分解为一个个音节朗读。在英语中元音特别响亮,一个元音可构成一个音节,一个元音和一个或几个辅音音素结合也可以构成一个音节。一般说来,元音可以构成音节,辅音不响亮,不能构成音节。但英语辅音字母中有 4 个辅音[m],[n],[ng],[l]是响音,它们和辅音音素结合,也可构成音节。它们构成的音节往往出现在词尾,一般是非重读音节。英语的词有一个音节的,两个音节的,多个音节的,一个音节叫单音节,两个音节叫双音节,三个音节以上叫多音节。如:take 拿,ta'ble 桌子,pota'to` 马铃薯,pop`ula'tion 人口,congrat`ula'tion 祝贺。tel'ecommu`nica'tion 电讯
划分音节的方法:元音是构成音节的主体,辅音是音节的分界线。两辅音之间不管有多少个元音,一般都是一个音节。如:bed 床,bet 打赌,seat 坐位,beat 毒打,beaut 极好的 beau'ty 美。两元音字母之间有一个辅音字母时,辅音字母归后一音节,如:stu'dent 学生,la'bour 劳动。有两个辅音字母时,一个辅音字母归前一音节,一个归后一音节,如:let'ter 信,win'ter 冬天。不能拆分的字母组合按字母组合划分音节。如:fa'ther 父亲,tea'cher 教师。
1)音节按读音可以分为开音节和闭音节
开音节又可以分为绝对开音节和相对开音节
(1) 绝对开音节:是指一个元音字母后面没有辅音字母而构成的音节,例如:we, hi, yo-yo
(2) 相对开音节:是指一个元音字母后面有一个辅音字母(除r)之外,最后是一个不发音的e构成的音节,如:take, make
在开音节中,这个元音字母发“字母”本身音,例如hi|hai|, use|ju:z|
(3) 闭音节:指元音字母后面有辅音字母(辅音字母r除外)构成的音节,如:leg, cross
2)音节按重读可以分为重读音节和非重读音节
重读音节: 指在双音节或多音节词中有一个发音特别响亮的音节,叫重读音节,用重音符号“`”标于相应位置,其他音节为非重读音节,如begin
|be5gin|,单音节词作重读处理,但不标重音符号。

M: Do you think I could borrow your car to go grocery shopping? The supermarkets outside the city are so much cheaper. I’d also be happy to pick up anything you need.W: Well, I don’t like to let anyone else drive my car. Tell you what, why don’t we go together?Q: What does the woman mean?13. M: Forgive the mess in here, we have a party last night. There were a lot of people and they all brought food.W: Yeah, I can tell. Well, I guess it’s pretty obvious what you’ll be doing most of today.Q: What does the woman think the man will do?14. W: What time would suit you for the first round talks with John Smith?M: Well, you know my schedule. Other than this Friday, one day is as good as the next.Q: What does the man mean?15. W: I was so angry yesterday! My biology teacher did not even let me explain why I missed the field trip. He just wouldn’t let me pass!M: That doesn’t seem fair. I’d feel that way too if I were you.Q: What does the man imply?16. M: I really can’t stand the way David controls the conversation all the time.

I get Wednesdays off.W: What are the things you have to do and the things you don’t have to do?M: Uh, I don’t have to do the washing-up, so that’s good.

What does the man say is important to being good at his job?Conversation 2W: Now you’ve seen this table of figures about the pocket money children in Britain get?M: Yes. I thought it was quite interesting, but I don’t quite understand the column entitled change. Can you explain what it means?W: Well, I think it means the change from the year before. I am not a mathematician, but I assume the rise from 70p to 90p is a rise of 25 percent.M: Oh yes, I see. And the inflation rate is there for comparison.W: Yes. why do you think the rise in pocket money is often higher than inflation?M: I am sorry I’ve no idea. Perhaps parents in Britain are too generous.W: Perhaps they are. But it looks as if children were not better off in 2001 than they were in 2002. That’s strange, isn’t it? And they seem to have been better off in 2003 than they are now. I wonder why that is.M: Yes, I don’t understand that at all.W: Anyway, if you had children, how much pocket money would you give them?M: I don’t know. I think I’ll probably give them 2 pounds a week.W: Would you? And what would you expect them to do with it?M: Well, out of that, they have to buy some small personal things, but I wouldn’t expect them to save to buy their own socks, for example.W: Yes, by the way, do most children in your country get pocket money?M: Yeah, they do.Q23 What is the table of figures about?Q24 What do we learn from the conversation about British children’s pocket money?Q25 Supposing the man had children, what would he expect them to do with their pocket money? Section BPassage 1As the new sales director for a national computer firm, Alex Gordon was looking forward to his first meeting with the company’s district managers. Everyone arrived on time, and Alex’s presentation went extremely well. He decided to end the meeting with the conversation about the importance of the district managers to the company’s plans. “I believe we are going to continue to increase our share of the market,” he began, “because of the quality of the people in this room. The district manager is the key to the success of the sales representatives in his district. He sets the term for everyone else. If he has ambitious goals and is willing to put in long hours, everyone in his unit will follow his example.” When Alex was finished, he received polite applauses, but hardly the warm response he had hoped for. Later he spoke with one of the senior managers. “Things were going so
well until the end”, Alex said disappointedly. “Obviously, I said the wrong thing.” “Yes”, the district manager replied. “Half of our managers are women. Most have worked their way up from sales representatives, and they are very proud of the role they played in the company’s growth. They don’t care at all about political correctness. But they were definitely surprised and distressed to be referred to as ‘he’ in your speech.”Q26 Who did Alex Gordon speak to at the first meeting?Q27 What did Alex want to emphasize at the end of his presentation?Q28 What do we learn about the audience at the meeting?Q29 Why did Alex fail to receive the warm response he had hoped for?Passage 2The way to complain is to act business-like and important. If your complaint is immediate, suppose you got the wrong order at a restaurant, make a polite but firm request to see the manager. When the manager comes, ask his or her name. And then state your problem and what you expect to have done about it. Be polite! Shouting or acting rude will get you nowhere. But also be firm in making your complaint. Besides, act important. This doesn’t mean to put on airs and say “do you know who I am?” What it means is that people are often treated the way they expect to be treated. If you act like someone who expects a fair request to be granted, chances are it will be granted. The worst way to complain is over the telephone. You are speaking to a voice coming from someone you cannot see. So you can’t tell how the person on the line is reacting. It is easy for that person to give you the run-around. Complaining in person or by letter is generally more effective. If your complaint doesn’t require an immediate response, it often helps to complain by letter. If you have an appliance that doesn’t work, send a letter to the store that sold it. Be business-like and stick to the point. Don’t spend a paragraph on how your uncle John tried to fix the problem and couldn’t.Q30 What does the speaker suggest you do when you are not served properly at a restaurant?Q31 Why does the speaker say the worst way to complain is over the telephone?Q32 What should you do if you make a complaint by letter?Passage 3Barbara Sanders is a wife and the mother of two children, ages 2 and 4. Her husband, Tom, is an engineer and makes an excellent salary. Before Barbara had children, she worked as an architect for the government, designing government housing. She quit her job when she became pregnant, but is now interested in returning to work. She's been offered an excellent job with the government. Her husband feels it's unnecessary for her to work since the family does not need the added income. He also thinks that a woman should stay home with her children. If Barbara feels the need to do socially important work, he thinks that she should do volunteer work one or two days a week. Barbara, on the other hand, has missed the excitement of her profe
ssion and does not feel she would be satisfied doing volunteer work. She would also like to have her own income, so she does not have to ask her husband for money whenever she wants to buy something. She does not think it's necessary to stay home every day with the children and she knows a very reliable babysitter who's willing to come to her house. Tom does not think a babysitter can replace a mother and thinks it's a bad idea for the children to spend so much time with someone who's not part of the family.Q33 What was Barbara's profession before she had children?Q34 What does Barbara's husband suggest she do if she wants to work?Q35 What does Tom think about hiring a babysitter? From: CAlmost every child, on the first day he sets foot in the school building, is smarter, more curious,less afraid of what he doesn't know, better at finding and figuring things out, more confident, resourceful, persistent and independent, than he will either be again in his schooling or, unless he is very unusual and very lucky, for the rest of his life.Already, by paying close attention to and interacting with the world and people around him, and without any school-type formal instruction, he has done a task far more difficult, complicated and abstract than anything he will be asked to do in school, or than any of his teachers has done for years-he has solved the mystery of language. He has discovered it. Babies don't even know that language exists.And he has found out how it works and learnt to use it appropriately. He has done it by exploring, by experimenting, by developing his own model of the grammar of language, by trying it out and seeing whether it works, by gradually changing it and refining it until it does work.And while he has been doing this, he has been learning other things as well, including many of the concepts that the schools think only they can teach him, and many that are more complicated than the ones they do try to teach himFrom:

《随便说说我学习英语的一点心得体会》
随便说说我学习英语的一点心得体会。
2010-01-23 21:42:12
我是一名大二的学生,广州人,读的是会计类专业。平心而论,我的英语并不算好。四六级六百多一点,充其量只能算过得去叭。总有人问我学习英语的方法,答嘛,似乎一时半刻又说不清楚;不答,又好像不太礼貌。再加上这次大佬特地发短息来敦促我要写一写,我就说一说自己这些年学英语的一些心得
体会吧。也称不上经验,希望能给大佬,以及其他有志于学好英语的同学一些启发。
我是小学四年级下学期才开始学英语,基础不好。学习英语初期考试经常不及格,当时任何疑问句我都只会用"yes it is"和"no it isn't"来回答。我也没正经学过什么语法,音标是后来自学的。能到今天这个程度,靠的是投入。那些整天说“英语好难啊我怎么都学不好”的以及那些“唉我好懒啊”的同学就不必看下去
了。不是我说你,你就活该学不好英语。真的。你活该。
我简单地分了一下类,就从听力、阅读、口语、写作、词汇几个方面讲讲叭。
一、听力
这是我英语水平里我最满意的一个部分,得益于我长期坚持的听力训练。即使像这个学期比较忙,完全没有做别的单项练习的情况下,我还是坚持每天听新闻,包括apnews/bbc/cnn/nprnews/voa,一点也不夸张,我每天都听,没有停过。一是听英语新闻可以听到很多在国内纸媒没有报道的消息,二是可以知道不少专业词汇。当然,真正练听力是不建议泛听的,一般是精听。像我这种主要目的是保持听速的另当
别论。也不建议看美剧,那对英语水平的提高基本没有帮助,至少和你投入的时间非常不成正比。
练听力的具体办法:
1.读。很多学英语的人不重视读这个环节,我觉得非常可惜。其实提高听力比较直接的方法就是多读。在我初中的时候,有人和我说过一句让我觉得非常在理的话:“你能读多快你就能听多快”(当然这是建立
在朗读得清晰&流利的基础上的,瞎读一气的不算)。提高读速,你的听速自然也就上去了。
2.倍速。倍速是很好的练听力的方法。一旦你的听速上去了,即使你很久不听,也不会回到训练前的水平。而且在你听惯倍速的情况下,再听考试英语或者常速英语的时候就会觉得非常简单非常清晰。我现在听常速新闻英语一般调到1.5或者1.6,这个是我的耳朵听起来比较舒服的速度。最快可以听到1.8。如果你的英语程度不好,我建议先从voa special英语开始听。然后用再逐渐把special的速度调快,慢慢适应。不要盲目求快,这需要一个过程。以能够听清楚,自己的口述语速能够跟得上为标准。听倍速的软件有很多,最普通的是windows media player,效果不错也不会太失真。在“增强功能-播放速度设置”那一栏那里调。mp3播放器的话我现在在用的是三星的p3,可以调快三慢三,很方便。别的牌子我不知道有没有
同样功能,不评论。
3.听写。这个是英语专业的学生一般的训练方法。我学新闻英语的时候练过,效果不错。一般分两种:1>.听一句写一句,然后对照原文。2>.全篇一起听,循环几次,再对照原文。比较简单的是第一种,比较
专业的是第二种。依照个人情况决定。听力材料的篇幅不宜过长,一般慢速英语在4分钟内,常速英语在
一分半至2分钟比较好。
我的感觉就是听力一定要保持强度。真的要多听。各种题材都要多听。很久不听的话自己都能很明显地感觉到退化。听力是短期内最容易提高的环节。只要你肯下功夫,狂轰乱炸,很快就可以见到成果。
另外就是一定要牢固树立一种观念:
“听力有口音?那是因为你的听力不够好。”
“听力的时候有干扰?那是因为你的听力不够好。”
“听力的速度太快?那是因为你的听力不够好。”
凡事都在自己身上找原因,解决起来比较容易。

二、阅读
我在大一上学期的时候坚持看了一个学期的China Daily,每天一份,从不间断。感觉那段时间的阅读水平明显提高。现在一个学期没怎么碰英语,真的就觉得水平差了不少。所以还是得多看吧。电驴上似乎有China Daily的PDF版每日更新,有兴趣的同学也可以直接在那下载…我没怎么看过别的英语读物,
就是看报纸。
当然,做阅读练习也是非常有效的办法。不过必须持之以恒。想要提高的话就要每天都做,而且还必须每天保持一定的题量。做三天的题再休息两天,是没有任何效果的(我就是这样…)
另外,推荐FT网站的英语速读:
三、口语
我的发音比较好,所以总有人问我是不是出过国之类的,但其实没有。我初中三年花了很多时间纠正发音,练习爆破音、单词间的连读、句子的升调&降调&停顿,学了很标准的British accent(尽管现在越来越美式了)。但其实我觉得语音并不那么重要,虽然好的发音让你在说英语的时候比较自信。但终究流利程度是第一位的。而且纠正发音的过程非常枯燥无味,太没有必要。我在这里也就不说了。我周围也有不少发音很标准的,但一听还是知道是中国人。为何?说到底还是因为语调不好。你拆开来听,他每个单
词读的都是对的,串在一起听就是很别扭。这个也没有什么速成的纠正方法,主要靠多练习多模仿。久而
久之就好了。
另外,练口语可以靠跟读。注意,是跟读,不是自己瞎读一气。我们学校不少同学在湖边早读都是自己拿着课本就开始读,完全不听一遍原文先。发音之难听,语调之奇异,简直令人发中指。好几次我连艹你麻痹的心都有了。再一次注意,是跟读,跟读!可以同步跟读-就是别人开始读,你停顿一秒左右跟上,一遍听一边读(我一般是这样);或者是别人读一句,你跟读一句。还有比较高级的方法,就是把自己读
的录下来,然后再和原文比照。这种方法适合有志于练好发音的同学(反正我是没这耐心…)
四、写作
写作有速成法!就是背诵。最简单最快捷的方法就是背诵。都别和我说什么“好难背啊我背不下来啊”,这已经是最快捷最高效的方法了。要是这点功夫你都不肯下,我还是那句话:活该你英语学不好。
一般都是推荐背新概念叭。也可以背其他的写作宝典。但是要背就要全文背,不要背什么模版啊之类的,没用。我高中的时候背了整本新概念三。上了大学以后背了四册的1~40课,这个复习周背了最难
背的59、60课。争取这个假期全部背到滚瓜烂熟。
当然,如果你说你实在是很想背但确实背不下来,也有一个解决方法:就是连续听反复听,听到熟到烂,别人说上一句你就知道下一句是什么的程度。我背四册的60课的时候也是死活背不下来。我就天天听,听了两天,什么别的都没听,就重复那一篇,吃饭听、做题听、看书听,听到都要吐血了,然后自然
而然就背下来了。
五、词汇
我刚上大学的时候测过词汇量,大概是7800左右,现在估计只剩下5000不到。词汇令人觉得无比痛苦之处就在于你必须反复再反复,一段时间不接触就会忘掉。老实说,我从来没有专门背过单词。无论是高考还是四六级,一页单词都没背过。一是我觉得我平时接触的词汇量够大,不用专门背;二是我真的狠不下心来背。但是我现在已经逐渐发现词汇量的匮乏已经成为我英语学习的主要障碍了,而且某人还和
我说作文的用词特别检验一个人的英语水平!sigh.所以还是得背。
我现在用的是胡氏超级背单词法,效果有待检验。
(胡氏超级单词法详细介绍地址:
测词汇量的地址:test now。这个网站还有
测听力的,也可以试一试。
这半年来,我的英语退步不少,完全是在吃老本。在忙别的事情,所以英语就给落下了。期末考已经让我付出了沉重的代价,英语这门我曾经的强势科目变成了最低分的一科。o(︶︿︶)o 。假期好好补补
叭。狂轰乱炸!!!一定要保持高强度!!!
What influences the weather? The main influence on our climate is our close proximity to the Atlantic Ocean, our northern latitude, and the warming of the waters around the land by the Gulf Stream (a warm current of the northern Atlantic Ocean).
Our island is small compared with the other land masses in the northern hemisphere – hence Britain is more influenced by the ocean compared with other European countries, and the Gulf Stream helps to keep winters milder compared with other landlocked nations with a similar latitude.

《说说英文Essay写作几大典型错误》
说说英文Essay写作几大典型错误
要写出一篇漂亮的命题小essay可不是那么容易,内容技巧以及格式都不可小视,尽量做到全面和细节。如果哪一点出了错误,录取官很容易认为该学生大意不注重细节,学生的形象也许就会打折扣了。一些学生的小文章没有通过,有共同的地方,也有个别原因。
优越论文网老师在这里总结出了essay写作中几大典型错误。
1、对申请学校认知不多。有的学生在选择学校和专业的时候没有仔细考虑自身的情况,甚至有的抱着非名校不读的想法,但是也没有仔细去咨询了解对方学校的情况。因此对于大多学校都会提出的问题——why choose this school,学生不能说出学校的大致情况、特点和优势,回答时敷衍了事,只说出最表层的一些东西。回答不到位就暴露出自己的态度,很难看出申请人对学校的兴趣和向往程度。
2、回答问题时没有正确审题。一些在思想上很懒惰的学生总以为各个学校问的题目差不多就可以互相借用,没有认真审题就把申请学校A的套用在学校B上;还有的学生审题不到位,在内容上出现了很多与主题或者申请不相干的部分。
3、找不到思路,不会转换。有的学生想考察学生的思维灵活度,想知道学生的专业水平或是人际交往的态度等,提出的问题都是很简单的。例如芝加哥大学:请比较苹果和橘子,这个题目就不应该只写两种水果的区别什么的,可以将两种水果拟人化,各种水果代表哪两种人等等。总之,思维不要太死板,学会转换。
4、词句使用不恰当。大多英语水平有待提高的学生要么用词太过简单,要么总是喜欢用晦涩、深奥的来让录取官认为自己的具有多大的词汇量。前者会使文章显得没有一点深度,后者容易使文章看着不顺畅,读着拗口。所以,在写作时首先要有条理表明自己的看法,其次使文章读起来语句通顺,再使用一些有真正意义和内涵的语句。
5、文章呈现的语气让人难以接受。有的文章语气平平毫无生气;有的过于激烈,为了显示自己是对的,极力鼓吹自己的看法或价值观;有的一味夸对方学校是多么地有名气,甚至用哀怜的语气博得录取官的同情。这都是不可取的,适当地赞扬即可,尽量使文章读起来有生机活力,做到态度理性冷静客观。
6、语法拼写等小错误。有的学生单词拼错,语法用错,用翻译机器硬生生地翻译,出现频率过高。学生不仅需要提高英文水平,最好是学会英语思维。
以上几点就是优越论文网总结的essay写作中容易犯的典型错误,在此陈列希望广大申请留学的学生借鉴,交上出彩的入学第一份作业。
