<p1>Learning a foreign language was one of the most difficult yet most <2>rewarding</2> experiences of my life.<p2>Although at times learning a language was <3>frustrating</3>, it was well worth the effort.<p3>My experience with learning a foreign language began in <4>junior</4> middle school, when I took my first English class.I had a kind and patient teacher who often praised all of the students.<p4>Because of this <5>positive</5> method, I eagerly answered all the questions I could, never worrying much about making mistakes.<p5>I was at the top of my class for two years.When I went to <6>senior</6> middle school, I was eager to continue studying English; however, my experience in senior middle school was very different from before.<p6>While my <7>former</7> teacher had been patient with all of the students, my new teacher quickly punished those who gave incorrect answers.Whenever we answered incorrectly, she pointed a long stick at us and, shaking it up and down, shouted, "No! No! No!"<p7>It didn't take me long to lose my eagerness to answer questions.<p8>Not only did I lose my joy in answering questions, but I also lost my desire to say anything at all in English.However, that state didn't last long.When I went to college, I learned that all students were required to take an English course.<p9><8>Unlike</8> my senior middle school teacher, my college English teachers were patient and kind, and none of them carried long, pointed sticks!<p10>The situation was far from perfect, though.As our classes were very large, I was only able to answer a couple of questions in each class period.Also, after a few weeks of classes, I noticed there were many students who spoke much better than I did.<p11>I began to feel <9>intimidated</9>.So, once again, although for different reasons, I was afraid to speak.It seemed my English was going to stay at the same level forever.<p12>That was the situation until a couple of years later when I was offered an <10>opportunity</10> to study English through an <11>online</11> course.The <12>communication</12> <13>medium</13> was a computer, a phone line, and a <14>modem</14>.<p13>I soon got <15>access</15> to the necessary equipment, learned how to use the technology from a friend and <16>participated</16> in the <17>virtual</17> classroom 5 to 7 days a week.<p14>Online learning is not easier than regular classroom study;it requires a lot of time, <18>commitment</18> and <19>discipline</19> to keep up with the flow of the course.<p15>I worked hard to meet the <20>minimum</20> standards set by the course and to complete <21>assignments</21> on time.I practiced all the time.I carried a little dictionary with me everywhere I went, as well as a notebook in which I listed any new words I heard.<p16>I made many, sometimes <23>embarrassing</23>, mistakes.<p17>Once in a while I cried out of <24>frustration</24>, and sometimes I felt like giving up.<p18>But I didn't feel intimidated by students who spoke faster than I did because I took all the time I needed to think out my ideas and wrote a reply before <25>posting</25> it on the screen. <p19>Then, one day I realized I could understand just about everything I came across, and most importantly, I could "say" anything I wanted to in English.<p20>Although I was still making many mistakes and was <27>continually</27> learning new ways to say things, I had finally <28>reaped</28> the <29>benefits</29> of all of my hard work.<p21>Learning a foreign language has been a most trying experience for me, but one that I wouldn't trade for anything.<p22>Not only did learning another language teach me the value of hard work, but it also gave me <30>insights</30> into another culture, and my mind was opened to new ways of seeing things. The most wonderful result of having learned a foreign language was that I could <31>communicate</31> with many more people than before.Talking with people is one of my <32>favorite</32> activities, so being able to speak a new language lets me meet new people, participate in conversations, and form new, unforgettable friendships.<p23>Now that I speak a foreign language, instead of staring into space when English is being spoken,I can participate and make friends.<p24>I am able to reach out to others and bridge the <33>gap</33> between my language and culture and theirs.学习外语是我一生中最艰苦也是最有意义的经历之一。

Unit1 奔向更加光明的未来1 下午好！作为校长，我非常自豪地欢迎你们来到这所大学。
你们所取得的成就是你们自己多年努力的结果，也是你们的父母和老师们多年努力的结果。
在这所大学里，我们承诺将使你们学有所成。
2 在欢迎你们到来的这一刻，我想起自己高中毕业时的情景，还有妈妈为我和爸爸拍的合影。
妈妈吩咐我们：“姿势自然点。
”“等一等,”爸爸说，“把我递给他闹钟的情景拍下来。
”在大学期间，那个闹钟每天早晨叫醒我。
至今它还放在我办公室的桌子上。
3 让我来告诉你们,一些你们未必预料得到的事情。
你们将会怀念以前的生活习惯，怀念父母曾经提醒你们要刻苦学习、取得佳绩。
你们可能因为高中生活终于结束而喜极而泣，你们的父母也可能因为终于不用再给你们洗衣服而喜极而泣！但是要记住：未来是建立在过去扎实的基础上的。
4 对你们而言，接下来的四年将会是无与伦比的一段时光。
在这里，你们拥有丰富的资源：有来自全国各地的有趣的学生，有学识渊博又充满爱心的老师，有综合性图书馆，有完备的运动设施，还有针对不同兴趣的学生社团——从文科社团到理科社团、到社区服务等等。
你们将自由地探索、学习新科目。
你们要学着习惯点灯熬油，学着结交充满魅力的人，学着去追求新的爱好。
我想鼓励你们充分利用这一特殊的经历，并用你们的干劲和热情去收获这一机会所带来的丰硕成果。
5 有这么多课程可供选择，你可能会不知所措。
你不可能选修所有的课程，但是要尽可能体验更多的课程！大学里有很多事情可做可学，每件事情都会为你提供不同视角来审视世界。
如果我只能给你们一条选课建议的话，那就是：挑战自己！不要认为你早就了解自己对什么样的领域最感兴趣。
选择一些你从未接触过的领域的课程。
这样，你不仅会变得更加博学，而且更有可能发现一个你未曾想到的、能成就你未来的爱好。
一个绝佳的例子就是时装设计师王薇薇，她最初学的是艺术史。
随着时间的推移，王薇薇把艺术史研究和对时装的热爱结合起来，并将其转化为对设计的热情，从而使她成为全球闻名的设计师。
