all right, class. today we’re going to be looking at differe nt language learning styles. you may be surprised to find that there are different ways of going about learning languages, none of which is necessarily better than the others. researchers have identified four basic learner ―types‖ – the communicative learner, the analytical learner, the authority-oriented learner and the concrete learner. communicative learners like to learn by watching and listening to native speakers. at home, they like to learn by watching tv and videos. they like to learn new words by hearing them. in class, they
like to learn by having conversations. now, concrete learners like to lean by playing games, by looking at pictures and
videos in class, talking in pairs, and by listening to cassettes
at home and school. now, authority-oriented learners, on the other hand, like the teacher to explain everything. they like to write everything down in their notebook, and they like to have a textbook. they like to learn new words by seeing them. and finally, we have analytical learners. these learners like to learn by studying grammar. at home, they like to learn by studying english books, and they like to study by themselves. they like
to find their own mistakes. now, of course, it’s unusual for a person to be exclusively one ―type‖ rather than ano ther. most
of us are mixtures of styles. what type of learner do you think you are?

master’s degree: another year or two doctorate: a further 3-7 years
well, in britain, from the ages of five to about eleven you start off at a primary school, and then from eleven to sixteen you go on to a secondary school or a comprehensive school and at sixteen you take gcse examinations. after this, some children take vocational courses or even start work. others stay on at school for another two years to take a levels. and at the age of eighteen, after a levels, they might finish their education or go on to a course of higher education at a college or university, and t hat’s usually for three years.
well, it depends on what state you’re in but most kids in the united states start school at about six when they go to elementary school and that goes from the first grade up to the sixth grade. some
kids go to a kindergarten the year before that. then they go on to junior high school, that’s about eleven, and that’s the seventh, eighth and ninth grades. and then they go on to senior high school around age fourteen starting in the tenth grade and finishing in the twelfth grade usually. some students will leave school at sixteen and they’ll start work, but most of them stay on to graduate from high school at age eighteen. in the first year at high school or college students are
called ―freshmen‖, in the second they’re
called ―sophomores‖, in the third year we call them ―juniors‖ and in the fourth year they’re called ―seniors‖. now a lot of high school graduates then go to college or university and they do a four-year first degree course. some of them might go to junior college which is a two-year course.
education in canada is a provincial responsibility, but schools are administered by local school boards.
kindergarten is for children who are four or five years old. children begin formal full-day schooling in grade 1, when they are about six years old. they must stay in school at least until they are sixteen. however, most students continue to finish high school. some go to college or university. each year of schooling represents one grade. (the school year extends from the beginning of september to the end of june.) elementary school includes kindergarten to about grade 8. secondary school (or high school) may start in grade 8, 9, or 10 and it usually continues until grade 12.
universities offer three main levels of degrees. students earn a bachelor’s degree after three or four years of study. a master’s degree can take another year or two. a doctorate may take a further three to seven years to complete.

i – interviewer p – professor
i: and now we have an interview with professor j. t. lingo, professor of linguistics at chimo university, who is here to talk to us about the growing business of teaching english. good morning, professor lingo.
p: good morning.
i: i understand that teaching english is becoming ―big business‖ all around the world.
p: it seems that language schools are springing up everywhere.
i: why is that?
p: with the move toward a global economy, english has become the most widely used language in the world. it is the language of business, aviation, science and international affairs and people find that they must learn english to compete in those fields.
i: and do people find english an easy language to learn?
p: well, every language has something about it that other people find difficult to learn. english is such a hodgepodge of different languages –it’s essentially germanic but a lot of its vocabulary comes from french, and technical words stem from latin and greek. this feature makes english fairly adaptable –which is a good thing for a world language – but it causes irregularity in spelling and pronunciation.
i: english spelling baffles me, too.
p: english also has the largest vocabulary. often there are words for the same thing, one is anglo-saxon and one from the french –like ―buy‖ which is anglo-saxon and ―purchase‖ which is from the french. the french word often has more prestige.
i: anglo-saxon?
p: that’s the word for old english. the norman conquest in 1066 brought the french language to britain and helped english evolve into the english it is today.
i: is there anything else particularly difficult about english?
p: well, the idioms in informal english pose a problem for some students.
i: informal english?
p: as with any language, there are different varieties: slang, colloquial. formal, written, as well as the different dialects –british, american and canadian english.
i: and how is canadian english different from american and british?
p: canadian english is closer to american in pronunciation and idiom. some of our words and our spellings do reflect british usage, however. we wouldn’t use the british term ―lorry‖ for truck, but we have kept the ―o-u-r‖ spellings in words such
as ―honour‖ and ―colour‖.
i: this has been very interesting. i’m afraid we’re out of time. it has been a pleasure talking to you.
part iii university life a1 i. age / foreign student populationii. 15 hrs (+2 or 3 for lab) / discussion group: 15-20 / much smaller / informal, friendly / 2-3 hrs: 1 hr
today i’d like to give you some idea about how life at an american university or college might be different from the way it is in your country. to be sure, the student body on a u. s. campus is a pretty diverse group of people. first of all, you will find students of all ages. although most students start college at around the age of 18, you will see students in their 30s and 40s and even occasionally in their 60s and 70s. students on a u.s. campus come from a wide variety of socioeconomic backgrounds. many students work at least part-time, some of them work full-time. many students live in dormitories on campus, some have their own apartments usually with other
students, and others live at home. some colleges and universities have a very diverse student population with many racial and ethnic minorities. some schools have a fairly large foreign student population. so you can see that one meets all kinds of people on a u.s. college or university campus. now that you have some general idea of differences in the student population, i’d like to talk a few minutes about what i think an average student is and then discuss with you what a typical class might be like.
let’s begin my talking about an average student entering his or her freshman year. of course, such a person never really exists, but still it’s convenient to talk about an ―average‖ student for our
purposes. foreign students are often surprised at how poorly prepared american students are when they enter a university. actually, at very select schools the students are usually very well prepared, but at less selective schools, they may not be as well prepared as students in your country are. schools in the states simply admit a lot more students than is usual in most other countries. also, most young american university
students have not traveled in other countries and are not very well-versed in international matters and do not know a lot about people from other countries. foreign students usually find them friendly but not very well-informed about their countries or cultures.
what kind of academic experiences will this so-
called ―average‖ student have? the average undergraduate student takes five classes a semester and is in class for 15 hours a week. if her or she takes a class that has a laboratory, this will require tow or three more hours. many introductory undergraduate classes are given in large lectures of 100 or more students. however, many of these classes will have small discussion groups of 15 to 20 students that meet once a week. in these smaller groups, a teaching assistant will lead a discussion to help classify points in the lectures. other kinds
of classes – for example, language classes – will be much smaller so that students can practice language. in general, american professors are informal and friendly with their students, and, as much as possible, they expect and invite participation in the form of discussion. a large amount of
reading and other work is often assigned to be done outside class, and students are expected to take full responsibility for completing these assignments and asking questions in class about those areas they don’t understand. as a rule of thumb, students spend two to three hours preparing for each hour they spend in class. american professors often encourage their students to visit them during office hours, especially if the students are having problems in the class.
a2 ii. examinations / quizzes
iii. graduate school / seminars / some area of interest / a research paper
let’s move on now to discuss student obligat ions in a typical american class. these obligations are usually set down in the course syllabus. a syllabus is generally handed out to students on the first or second class meeting. a good syllabus will give students a course outline that mentions all the topics to be covered in class. it will also contain all the assignments and the dates they should be completed by. an average university course of one semester might have three examinations or two examinations and a paper. the dates of the examinations and what the examinations will cover should be on the syllabus. if a paper id required, the date it is due should also be in the syllabus. the professor may also decide that he or she will be giving quizzes during the semester, either announced or unannounced. for students coming from a system where there is one examination in each subject at the end of the year, all this testing can be a little surprising at first. by the by, maybe this would be a good place for me to mention the issue of attendance. another real difference in our system is out attendance policies. perhaps you come from a system where attendance is optional. generally speaking, american professors expect regular attendance and may even grade you down if you are absent a lot. all this information should be on your syllabus, along with the professor’s office number and office hours.
i have only a couple of hours left, and i’d like to use them to talk about how graduate school is somewhat different from undergraduate school. of course, it’s much more difficult to enter graduate school, and most students are highly qualified and high motivated. students in graduate school are expected
to do much more independent work than those in undergraduate schools, with
regularly scheduled exams, etc. some classes will be conducted as seminars. in a seminar class, there may be no exams, but students are expected to read rather widely on topics and be prepared for thorough discussion of them in class. another possibility in graduate classes is that in addition to readings done by all students, each student may also be expected to work independently in some area of interest and later make a presentation that summarizes what her or she has learned. usually each student then goes on to write a paper on what he or she has researched to turn in to the professor for a grade.
i hope that today’s lecture has given you some idea about student life on an american campus and that you have noticed some difference between our system and yours.
b2 to make mistakes / every new thing / the language/ working outside the classroom passive / the teach / stick his neck out / more likely to be right than himself
how would you describe a good student or a bad student, sort of things they do or don’t do in the classroom?
he’s eager to experiment with every new thing that he learns, whether it be a structure of a function or a new word, he immediately starts trying to use it.
he’s interested in the mistakes he makes, he’s not afraid to make them.
he’s not simply interested in havin g it corrected and moving on?
he plays with language.
i’ve done this chapter i know this, without trying to experiment at all, without really testing himself.
he’s usually passive, he won’t speak up much in the classroom. he’ll rarely ask you why this … just sort of accepts what you give him and doesn’t do anything more with it.
… and in a test he’s the one person who’s likely to suddenly realize that he wasn’t too sure about that after all.
and peep over at his neighbor’s paper.
an alternative learning strategy.
he invariably decides that the other person is more likely to be right than himself. that’s the result of this sort of unwillingness to make mistakes and stick his neck out.
that characterizes the good or bad learner?
he’ll do more off his own bat as well, he won’t rely entirely on the teacher.
he’ll work outside the classroom as well as in it.
students who make most progress are first of all those who experiment and secondly those who read books.

Part2 Listening and Note-talking Driving Carefully
Drive carefully and slowly when pedestrians are about, particularly in crowded shopping streets, when you see a bus stopped, or near a parked mobile shop. Watch out for pedestrians coming from behind parked or stopped vehicles, or from other places where you might not be able to see them.
Three out of four pedestrians killed or seriously injured are either under fifteen or over sixty. The young and elderly may not judge speeds very well, and may step into the road when you do not expect them. Give them, and the infirm, or blind, or disabled people, plenty of time to cross the road.
Drive slowly near schools, and look out for children getting on or off school buses. Stop when signalled to do so by a school crossing patrol showing a Stop-Children sign. Be careful near a parked ice-cream van—children are more interested in ice-cream then in traffic.
When coming to a zebra crossing. be ready to slow down or stop to let people cross. You must give way once they have stepped onto a crossing. Signal to other drivers that you mean to slow down or stop. Give yourself more time to slow down or stop on wet or icy roads. Never overtake just before a zebra crossing.
Exercise A: 1. Drive carefully and slowly when pedestrians are about. 2. Three out of four pedestrians killed are either under fifteen or over sixty. 3. Be careful near a parked ice-cream van—children are more interested in ice-cream
than in traffic. 4. When coming to a zebra crossing, be ready to slow down or stop to let people
cross. 5. You must give way once they have stepped onto a crossing.

Unit 7 Task 1 【答案】 A. 1) In a mental asylum. 2) He was a member of a committee which went there to show concern for the pertinents there. 3) They were cants behaving like humans. 4) He was injured in a bus accident and became mentally ill. 5) He spent the rest of his life in comfort. B. painter, birds, animals, cats, wide, published, encouragement, A year or two, The Illustrated London News, cats' Christmas party, a hundred and fifty, world famous 【原文】 Dan Rider, a bookseller who loved good causes, was a member of a committee that visited mental asylums. On one visit he noticed a patient, a quiet little man, drawing cats. Rider looked at the drawings and gasped. "Good lord, man," he exclaimed. "You draw like Louis Wain!" "I am Louis Wain," said the artist. Most people today have never heard of Louis Wain. But, when Rider found him in 1925, he was a household name. "He made the cat his own. He invented a cat style, a cat society, a whole cat world," said H. G. Wells in a broadcast appeal a month or two later. "British cats that do not look and live like Louis Wain cats are ashamed of themselves." Before Louis Wain began drawing them, cats were kept strictly in the kitchen if they were kept at all. They were useful for catching mice and perhaps for keeping the maidservant company. Anyone else who felt affection for cats usually kept quiet about it. If a man admitted that he liked cats, he would be laughed at. The dog was the only domestic animal that could be called a friend. Louis Wain studied art as a youth and became quite a successful newspaper and magazine artist. He specialized in birds and animals, including dogs, but never drew a cat till his wife was dying. They had not been married long, and during her illness a black-and-white cat called Peter used to sit on her bed. To amuse his wife, Louis Wain used to sketch and caricature the cat while he sat by her bedside. She urged him to show these-drawings to editors, fie was unconvinced,

Unit 3 听力原文 Part I B Sam: I won?t be able to do the exam tomorrow. I just don?t feel that I?m ready. Counselor: You say that you don?t feel ready for tomorrow?s exam ... what do you feel like right now? Sam: Well, I?m angry with myself because I?m going to have to quit the exam and, well, I guess I?m anxious. Yes, I feel very anxious. Counselor: When you think about this anxiety, what image do you have of yourself? Sam: Well, I see myself trying to explain to my Dad why I didn?t make the grade on this course ... and I see him getting angry ... and, well, I start to feel I?ve let him down again. Counselor: You don?t feel ready for your exam, you feel anxious and you don?t want to let your Dad down again. Tell me about the last time you let your Dad down. Sam: Oh, well, it was a year ago ... He?d entered me for a chess competition and I got knocked out in the first match ... he was angry because he?d told all his friends how good I was. Counselor: What did you tell him ... as an explanation when you lost the chess game? Sam: I told him that I wasn?t ready to play in that league. Counselor: And now you are preparing to tell him that you?re not ready to sit this examination? Sam: Yes, I suppose I am. Counselor: O.K. Sam, so what you are saying to me is that you feel reluctant to take the exam tomorrow because you do not like the thought of having to explain a poor grade or a failure to your father. Is that right, Sam? Sam: Yes. That?s exactly it. C 1. A: When I read in English, I always want to understand every single word and so I spend a lot of time looking words up in my dictionary. This makes reading difficult for me because by the time I?ve looked up the word in my dictionary, I?ve forgotten what the rest of the sentence was about. That?s my trouble really — I rely too much on my dictionary. B: Well, why don?t you try to read a text without using your dictionary the first time you read it? You?ll probably be able to understand most of it and guess what some of the words mean. 2. A: I have to read a lot of books and articles in English for my work —I?m a consultant in business management. What I find most difficult is finding the main point in an article or a paragraph. I always try to take notes when I?m reading and so sometimes I find that I?m almost copying out the whole article because I can?t decide what the really important points are. B: It might help if you read through the book or article very quickly first just to get an idea of what it?s about. I think it?s difficult to read something for the first time and take notes as well. 3. A: I like reading novels and short stories in my own language and in English, but there?s one thing I find very difficult in English. I?m never quite sure if the writer is being serious or not. Several times I?ve read something I thought was serious and later I?ve found out it was supposed to be funny. B: I have exactly the same problem. I suppose the only thing to do is to read as much as possible. Then one day perhaps we?ll understand the British sense of humor. 4. A: I have to read a lot in English in my studies and this is causing me problems. I read too slowly in English. Do you think I can train myself to read quickly and at the same time understand
