自考英语二2009年4月作文Title: The Impact of Globalization on Language Learning: An Analysis of English for Self-Paced Exams in 2009In the realm of higher education, the 2009 April Self-Paced Examination in English for the Second Level (ESP2009) stands as a testament to the ever-evolving nature of language learning in the era of globalization. This essay delves into the challenges and opportunities that this examination presents, examining the role of globalization in shaping English language proficiency for self-study.The backdrop of the 2009 ESP2009 was a world that was deeply interconnected, with English serving as the lingua franca of international communication. The rise of the internet, globalization, and the increasing demand for multilingual professionals had significantly influenced the format and content of the test. The primary focus was on functional English, reflecting the need for students to communicate effectively in various professional contexts.Globalization, as a force, brought about a diverse pool of learners, each with varying linguistic backgrounds and learning styles. This diversity necessitated a test that catered to individual needs,allowing self-study to be a flexible and personalized experience. The ESP2009, therefore, incorporated a mix of reading comprehension, writing, and speaking tasks, designed to assess not only grammatical accuracy but also the ability to adapt to different situations.One significant aspect of the test was the emphasis on reading materials from a range of sources, including newspapers, academic articles, and business correspondence. This was a reflection of the growing importance of reading comprehension in a globalized world, where understanding diverse texts is crucial for professional success. Students were expected to analyze and interpret information, demonstrating their ability to navigate the sea of information available online.The writing component, too, was not limited to standard academic essays. It included tasks that required students to write emails, reports, and even letters in different formats. This practical approach aimed to prepare them for real-world communication, where clear and concise writing is often the key to success. The test also tested their ability to structure arguments and present ideas in a logical manner, a skill that is crucial in a globalized professional landscape.The oral component, if any, was likely to be in the form of a simulated conversation or a presentation. It tested not only pronunciation but also the ability to express oneself confidently andpersuasively, a skill that transcends borders and cultural barriers. This component, too, was designed to reflect the growing importance of effective communication in a globalized world.However, the 2009 ESP2009 also highlighted the challenges that globalization posed. The test, being self-paced, required students to manage their time effectively and self-study independently. This could be a daunting task for those who lacked the discipline or resources to maintain a consistent learning routine. The test also exposed the digital divide, as not all students had equal access to the internet and digital tools for self-assessment.In conclusion, the 2009 Self-Paced Examination in English for the Second Level, or ESP2009, was a microcosm of the impact of globalization on language learning. It emphasized the need for adaptability, critical thinking, and practical communication skills in a globalized world. For students, it was a call to action, encouraging them to embrace the challenges and opportunities that the internet and international communication presented. As we look back, the test remains a reminder of the dynamic nature of language learning, a process that continues to evolve in the ever-connected world.。

2009年第一季度托福考试详解随着时间进入3月的下旬，整个托福考试2009考年第一季度的特点也随之浮出水面，整体的趋势可以概括为四个字：高度重复。
据笔者的统计数据显示，在3月22日之前的共8次考试中，对于2007年的考试题目重复达到了3次，而对于北美机经的重复达到了4次，其中2007年北美机经的重复2次，2008、2009年的北美机经重复各一次，对于2006年的机经重复只有一次。
那么透过这些数字我们可以发现什么？第一、托福考试重复的规律越来越倾向于对于北美机经的重复。
笔者以为，由于2007和2008年的考试题目大量重复2006年的考试题，所以2006年的还没有重复到的题目越来越少，加上托福考试机经重复很少出现二次重复，所以，对于考试前一天北美机经或者以前的北美机经的重复越来越多。
各位备考托福的考生可以有针对性地提前看一下考前的和以往的北美机经作为参考，特别是听力机经的大体范围和口语的独立口语题目。
第二、即使出现重复机经，混合式重复越来越多。
之前的托福考试以单次全部重复为主，也就是说，如果发现了阅读机经重复，那么一般来讲，听力、口语、写作也会完全重复。
但是，随着托福考试的重复的次数越来越多，可以重复的题目逐渐减少，为了避免坐吃山空，托福出题机构也许要在重复的方式上做文章。
于是，混合式重复就成了机经重复的重头戏，第一季度的8次考试中，混合式重复就占了3次。
所以，对于传统的按照日期的机经复习策略来讲，效果往往不如按照单项的机经复习好一些。
所以，各考生在考试前的机经分析及复习时，可以打乱时间顺序，改以单项顺序，按照阅读、听力、口语、写作四大项来使用并练习机经。
第三、对于机经的使用问题。
在自己的托福教学中，笔者发现有的机经和机经之间会相互矛盾，得出不同的结论。
因此，笔者建议各考生在考试之前的机经复习中，如果有条件，可以多看几个相关的托福机经论坛，多参考几个不同的版本的机经，这样才可以有的放矢，真正行之有效地使用机经。

2009年IBT听说读写机经2009年1月10日托福机经阅读：和大家一样，看到题目之后就有回家的冲动，我之前考过两次，第一次认真考的28，第二次乱考的26，这次估计能上18就不错了。
阅读难度相当地大。
第一篇：functionism(忘了是这个词还是functional) culture第一段先举了生物学的例子，这里有题，问为什么要举生物学的例子。
大概就是典型的结构主义思想，每一个器官都是有功能的。
引出文化，文化也一样，不是无缘无故的。
然后给出了两个人的观点。
第一个人的意思是每一个文化主要取决于大众的需要，并且大众的需要分两层，第一是basic demand，衣食住行，第二层是宗教，政治还是什么的。
但是这个理论有缺陷，就是他不能解释为什么每个文化都需要解决基本需求问题，但是文化和文化之间不一样呢。
另一个人的观点是文化是用来消除亲家之间的conflict的，后面记得不是很清楚，不敢乱说了。
最后貌似说了这两个观点都不是完美的第二篇：更想抓狂了……讲古代人的畜牧史，貌似就是说古代人掌握了动物什么时候来喝水，然后就趁机下手逮动物。
其中两个概念很混乱，breeding和domestication，想死的感觉啊……记得比较清楚的是说，他们并不是每种动物都养，经过了很多代人的，才放弃了一些不好养的动物。
第三篇：终于看到点希望了……美国觉得污染会杀死鱼，于是设立了sanctum，但是在这里面可以捕鱼。
所以造成了过度捕捞，过度捕捞比起污染什么的对鱼的数量下降来说更致命。
鱼随之会变得更少，并且更小。
有的**把大鱼抓走，让小鱼存活。
外界环境也会影响鱼，温度，气候什么的。
鱼类有丰富营养，比如鳗鱼什么的，每年增长速度貌似才5%，但是每年增加的需求量就有15%。
然后说了中国养了很多鱼。
最后说了海藻，海藻繁殖快，营养高，相比之下，农产品生产过程很慢。
日本就养海藻。
加试：电报电话在欧洲和美国的发展鸟类学说话听力：1. 学生放假忘了cancel电话服务，暑假的时候貌似他的宿舍有人住，电话打爆了，她的电话费就奇高无比。
