篇1：英语学习到底从学什么开始？始于口语，止于口语
在这个过度传播的时代，一提到英语学习就会听到各种各样的声音。有的人说英语应该从语法和阅读学起，有的人说要从练习口语开始，甚至不乏一些无稽之谈。
学英语到底从学什么开始？这个问题在语言研究领域已经被人反复争论了多年，问题的答案早就已经比较清晰了――语言的学习，是从听力口语开始的，并最终结束于口语。
我们都知道英语的四个基本技能是“听说读写”，而且也知道在公立学校通行的英语教学理念中也都承认“听说读写”就代表了英语学习的顺序。但是其中的原委往往是众说纷纭，每个人都站出来表达自己的想法。
想要说清楚这个问题需要大量的语言学基础知识，为了读者的方便，本文就从相对简单的角度来和大家探讨这个问题。我们从语言教学的历史中抽出四个时期来审视人们对语言学习顺序的认知过程：
一、第一个时期：中世纪――先学语法
众所周知，语言本身是没有优劣之分的，要决定哪种语言是全世界的主导语言，往往是要看哪个国家的文明给当时的世界造成了巨大的影响。在五百多年前的那个时代，虽然罗马帝国已经不复存在，希腊也难逃被侵略的厄运，但代表西方文明的语言仍然是拉丁语和希腊语。重要的原因是罗马和希腊文明是西方文明的源头，这两种语言代表了政治、经济、哲学等上层建筑，还有那些令人向往的辉煌时代的理念和生活方式。我们能追溯的较早时期关于语言教学的资料，很多都来自这个时期。在那个时代，人们学习这两种语言的方式就是影响至今的“语法翻译教学法”的雏形。
这种方法的核心是语法的学习，学生每天所做的事情就是进行枯燥的语法练习，听力和口语的训练几乎是零，比如：
example: the chair is under the table / det sabla nmabro kin maldi
translate the sentences:-
1) the book is under the chair.
2) the boy puts the book on the table.
3) the boy puts the book on the floor.
4) the boy throws the book against the ceiling.
5) the boy throws the books against the ceiling
你会发现，这五个句子基本上没有任何实用的功能，它们的目的只是为了练习拉丁语法中复杂的动词和格的变化。而且，随着学习的深入，发生的变化也仅仅是语法的复杂程度越来越大，翻译的内容越来越难。
直到16世纪，拉丁语还是一门口头交流和书面交流的语言。时至今日，口语的拉丁语却基本上已经消亡了，只有梵蒂冈和少部分学院在使用。复杂的拉丁语逐渐被其它拉丁语的衍生语取代，意大利语，法语，西班牙语等逐渐代替了它口语交流语言的地位，我不得不猜想语法翻译教学很可能推动了拉丁语这门美丽语言的消亡过程。
你可能会问，那为什么不学口语呢？原因现在看来也显得很幼稚，在古代，人们认为文字比口语更高等，很多人都不识字，识字的人往往位高权重。罗马帝国退出历史舞台之后，语法的学习成为逻辑严谨和思维缜密的代表，其它语言的教学纷纷效仿，语法翻译教学就代代相传了。
人类的习惯十分可怕，很多人一辈子都只是在接受上一代的思想，但是从来就没能，或者是没有意识到可以与之抗争。你会发现，这个完全没有任何科学依据的古老外语教学方法的影子，至今仍然在全世界的教室里出现。当然，中国是重灾区，很多过早接触语法翻译学习的学生，最终几乎无一例外的变成了“哑巴”。
二、第二个时期：拉丁语的衰退和经典思潮的时期――还是先学语法
从15世纪到19世纪的这段时间里，应该说是经典思潮是主流的时期，这个时期语法翻译教学法反而得到了强化。这段时期欧洲各种语言变化较大较频繁，主流的语言教学则提倡“净化”，而标准自然是那些经典著作。一说欧洲各国为显示自己的语言有如同拉丁语一样的优雅文笔和严密逻辑，纷纷采用古代拉丁语教学中的语法教学方式来推广自己的语言。比如english grammar（18世纪最有影响力的语法书籍之一）的作者lindley murray在该书中提到这样三个单词：purity, propriety, precision。这三个词很有代表性，代表了当时的教育和语言学家的一个不太切实际的梦想――净化语言，让语言永生。
篇2：托福口语高分从细节开始
托福口语高分从细节开始 合理替换常用词提升文章语言质量
托福口语替换用词细节：转折不用But用Though
我们在练习托福口语的时候，遇到转折，我们习惯性的选择but，难免有些千篇 一律，给大家点建议，当你想表达转折语气的时候不妨忍一下，在句子后面加个though，你要表达的立马瞬间就不一样了!
举个例子：
Our team lost. It was a good game, though.
Middle-aged people like to cook at home, young adults are a bitdifferent, though.
这种用法是我们考试时候用的比较少，却非常地道的一种用法。是不是比通篇的but!but!but!要好很多呢?假如能运用在托福口语考试中，这绝对是一个加分项!
托福口语替换用词细节：用Tend to代替Most of
当你想说most of…的时候，不妨改口成tend to，这样一来，是不是会显示你的词汇量比较多呢?
举个例子：
Most Chinese people cook at home instead of dining out. 就可以说成Chinese people tend to cook at home instead of dining out.
Tend to能代替被大家overuse的most of…/themajority of…效果绝对是杠杠的!
托福口语替换用词细节：减少Very使用次数
在托福口语答案里面，要有意识的尽可能抛弃very，一种方法是用pretty替代，另一种就直接用个更高级的形容词。
举个例子：
That performance was pretty impressive.
I’m pretty sure about that.
还有instead of saying “very angry”， you can use the word “furious”。
同理，如果我们想表达a little + adj.，也可以找到相应的更传神的形容词，例如：tipsy = a little drunk，考生们在用词上尽量准确，减少对very和little的使用次数!
新托福口语TASK6解析:无纸办公室
讲座要点总结
这是一篇商业学讲座，它围绕无纸办公室(paperless office)的两个优劣展开话题。
第一，无纸办公室可以帮助缩减租用的办公室空间(cut back on the amount of office space they rent)，以此来省钱。之前，纸质文献需要放在成排的档案柜里，占据了大量空间。但是现在，成千上万的电子文件可以储存在硬盘里，只占用了一点儿空间，避免了花大钱租用办公室。例如，教授的妹妹在一家律师事务所上班，需要保存所有客户的档案。现在，无纸办公室帮助他们规避了在写字楼租用多余的空间，省了一大笔钱。
第二，无纸办公室帮助员工更容易更快速地找到所需信息(access all information they need more easily and quickly)。之前，如果找一份纸质档案，员工需要走到档案柜，打开多个抽屉，挨个查看直到找到所需的文件，再走回办公桌。但是现在，员工会更容易更快速地找到所需的资料。例如，教授妹妹的办公室以电子形式储存文件，当客户打电话询问问题时，员工可以在电脑上查找文件，并快速在电话上回答问题。
讲座词汇总结
paperless office 无纸办公室;cut 缩减;space 空间;law firm 律师事务所;file 文件;client 客户;paper document 纸质文献;employee 员工;filing cabinet 档案柜;drawer 抽屉;rent 租用;store 储存;extra 额外的;save money 省钱;office building 办公楼
新托福口语题目及范文:发信息和打电话你更喜欢哪个
新托福口语题目Task2
Sending text messages or making phone calls, which one do you prefer? And why?
新托福口语范文:Well I will prefer to make phones calls. Coz first, it helps to avoid misunderstanding. As we all know, sometimes, using different tones can convey different intonation even if the words are the same, which is always missing in text messages, so by making phone calls, we can perceive more accurately about each other’s feelings and intentions; second, making phone calls is more efficient, text messages could be fun, but it takes time to make a good one like to choose and add some emoji. Plus, typing in, sending out and waiting for the reply could be time wasting.
新托福口语题目及范文:国际学生适合的活动项目
新托福口语题目Task1
吀栀攀 international student office is planning to hold a social event, which of the following do you think is the best? Why?
International food festival
International film festival
International music festival
新托福口语范文: I will definitely choose to hold an international music festival coz first we are under a substantial amount of academic pressure everyday, like, each one of us has to deal with endless presentations, group discussions, experiments or paper writings, so we really need to unwind and blow off steam; a music festival can provide the needed relaxation for us; second, music is magical, which can not only help us to replenish energy, but spark imagination and creativity; plus, an international music festival can help us to broaden our knowledge scope on different music genres, and we will have the opportunity to appreciate different music styles in a better way.
托福口语素材:爬梯Party Planning
选择美国中部大学的同学会很快会明白什么叫荒凉。虽然置身于大农村，在美国留学的时候，还是要学会找乐子。其实和美国同学社交确实是真正融入美国文化的第一步。然而空旷的中西部大学城里少有丰富的餐馆，影院或者其他娱乐场所，大多数美国学生的夜生活基本就是Party这一种。不过 Party并不一定等于烂醉，很多不喜欢喝酒的朋友也能很好的参与进来，其实就是一个场合大家聚在一起。
我大部分美国朋友都是做Orientation Program Assistant的期间结交的。Orientation是新生必须参加的了解学校的项目，大部分活动都在白天，晚上就跟一起工作的小伙伴约着出去玩。那段时间认识了好多party goer，也去了一场我在北美的时间里印象最深的趴。好的party 往往在之前要有很多的planning才能保证营造一个安全有趣的环境。
好像那天是一个周五而且我们第二天不用上班，从早上开始同事们就开始躁动。当时一个喜欢组织活动的女生Lucille把大家拉到一边问:“You guys have plans for tonight? I am definitely throwing a party at my place. Everybody in?” 结果大家纷纷响应了号召。只有另一个女生本来打算晚上跟男朋友去酒吧(go out)，我们开始一起怂恿她，最后她还是被说服了 “Fine, I guess I’ll just get wasted with Y’all then”。
大概20多号人晚上下班打算去Lucille的House Party。下班前，大家碰了个头。Lucille 问“Who’s driving tonight, cuz I’m not”。大家都大笑，显然大家都不愿意开车，美国大学村里交通落后，没公交，来Party的人(尤其是醉的)全靠开车的同学接送。最后两个不打算沾酒的同学成为了“志愿者”。
“Anyone want to pre-game at my condo later?” 一个叫Charlie的白人小哥在下班回去的路上问大家。Pre game指的是在正式的聚会之前先和几个人小范围聚一聚的这种场合。他说: “Let’s try to get in the mood before the show starts”.另一个哥们说“nah…I feel like I would go beyond just getting in the mood, I don’t want to show up being stoned already. Hahaha”. Charlie回“Okay, haha, good point, see ya at Lucille’s then”.
后来Party很成功，大家玩得很尽兴。后面一周上班大家基本上都在聊那天晚上一起开趴的事情，其实也是一种和彼此建立感情的媒介。

篇5：托福口语备考 从日常英语交流开始
托福口语备考 从日常英语交流开始
大家平时在英文的日常交流过程中，大家是不是有这样的一种感觉，想要自己说得好，名词和动词必不可少，于是大家都去抱着词汇书去背背背。这有一定的道理，尤其在背的词汇能在正确的地点时间表述出来时。但同时，提高口语的表现力，还有一个诀窍少不了，即学会使用程度副词。举例而言，中文中，表述“好”、“不好”“敬佩你”，用“相当地好”“惨绝人寰地恶劣”“崇拜之情如涛涛江水奔流不尽”的，能收获奇效。
在英语学习的过程中，也同样如此。举例来讲，同样是表达“好”，good, absolutely good, bloody good, incredibly good，长度不同，形象性和生动性更不同像really, absolutely, incredibly, completely, totally, fairly, pretty，甚至更加豪放的bloody这样的词，是典型的加强语气的词。通过使用这样的副词，能使表达者的情绪更加突出和确切，在同样的词汇量基础和语境里，能够达到表达“惊天地泣鬼神”的效果。
举例而言，托福真呀真TM难(表示狂躁，用词可能不太文明)，怎样来表达焦灼狂躁的心情?一个 difficult恐怕是力度不够，加上very似乎也过于平庸。这时候如果加上上述的程度副词，变成really/ absolutely/ incredibly/ completely/ totally/ fairly/ pretty hot，再配以适当的表情和肢体语言，估计也能收获“闻者伤心，听者落泪”的效果。
自然总是以独特的方式实现着它的平衡。有加强语气的就一定有削弱语气的。
如a little bit, kind of, sort of这样的程度副词，表达“有些”“有点儿”的意思，在口语中运用，能达到一秒变君子和淑女的效果。
举一个通俗的笑话而言，在不幸落水时候，直接的美国人会说Help! Help!而绅士文化厚重的英国人则会说：Excuse me. Sorry…but I am wondering is it possible that you could give me a hand…I have sort of run into a problem. 礼貌指数就噌噌噌地飙升了。
上述的例子只是个笑话，但合理运用程度副词，可以使你的表述更贴切自然、生动性指数升到打也打不住。
希望大家在日常口语交流中找到方法技巧。这样在托福考试的时候也可以从容应对。最后预祝大家托福考试能取得理想的成绩。
托福口语得分低，原因在这
同学们在托福口语考试中，取得的分数普遍不高，这是为什么?了解新托福考试的考生知道，新托福口语考察的是语言能力，逻辑思维和论证能力，所以口语考试为考生的应变能力增加了难度。下面，我们看一下小编为大家带来的新托福口语低分原因，希望可以助大家的托福口语学习带来帮助!
第一.对题型和解题技巧没有熟悉就匆忙上阵
考托福口语，就像和敌人打仗。你不知道敌人怎么出招，你也就不知道你自己应该出什么招。这样，你打败仗就是必然的。
备考建议：熟悉题型。
第二.缺乏迅速组织好答案的能力
考生在托福口语考试中，面临两点压力：
1.时间紧、任务重。托福口语的答案准备时间只有15-30秒，答题只有45/60秒。如果，没有接受过正规的训练，考生在考场上必将不知所措的、语无伦次。
2.要迅速呈现“完整的答案”，这也就要求考生的答案“浓缩精华”。没接受过“答案构思训练”，“浓缩精华”也是难以做到的。
第三.考场上表现得不够自信和大方
原因有二:
1.缺乏口语练习，导致考生在答题时表现得不自信。
2.性格过于内敛，导致考生在答题时表现得不够张扬。考场上表现得不够自信和大方不是形式上的问题，而是本质问题，因为这样以来，考生答题的音量就会小、发音就会模糊、分数也就不可能高。
备考建议：
1.“信心来自实力，实力来自练习”。
2.不论你在平常的性格如何，在考场内答题时，你必须表现得开朗、自信、大方。
第四.口语答案的语言缺乏表现力
总体来讲：英语语音不准确、语调无起伏、语言不流利、结结巴巴。
备考建议：
1.了解语音语调方面的知识(适当了解，而不要花太多精力在这方面)，提前发现并纠正自己的语音语调错误
2.每天坚持大声、清晰、准确地朗读一段80-120字的英文段子。
篇6：托福口语到底如何打分
口语考试在打分中历来存在两派，一派是holistic score(整体评分法)，根据回答的整体印象评分 。
另一派主张analytic score(分析评分法)，根据回答的若干个层面进行打分，比如说从表达，语法，内容角度去分别评判。
这两种方法各有利弊， holistic score的打分方式效率更高，考官评判起来压力小，但是给学生提供的反馈有限。Analytic score可以让学生更好的了解到自己的问题在哪里，也能帮助老师提供更有针对性的教学。
那么ETS奉行的是哪种呢?
The score is derived from raters’ holistic consideration of a general description based on three dimensions—delivery, language use, and topic development (ETS, 2008).
说白了，其实ETS奉行了holistic score的判分方法，也就是考官并不会单独评价学生的词汇使用的如何，句型难度怎样，内容是否切题，他们听的是一个综合的印象。
1 复杂的句式 词汇的丰富性到底有多重要?
虽然平常在课堂上总是和同学强调，在托福口语中我们并不强调炫目的词汇或句型，简单句说话不是不可以，但是同学们总是在担心自己的答案是否太简单，那现在我们就用ETS官网论文提供的数据来说话。
不难发现， 与language use分数呈现较强的正相关性的因素只有word count和erro-free C-unit这两项(也就是表达的内容越充实，分数越高，表达中的错误越少，分数越高)，而其它像passives，relative clauses的因素，并不是影响分数最重要的因素。所以不要在纠结自己是否说的太简单啦。
Q
2 Introduction居然会影响判分?
最让我吃惊的是在对综合任务topic development的判分中，除了key ideas是重要的衡量标准外，这些考官们竟然频繁提到了introduction和frame。
论文中提到“the inclusion of framing, or having an introduction, is a descriptor for a high score in topic development“。所以在回答综合任务时，比如说task6，我们一般会让同学在开头加上一句总括性的话术“ In the lecture, the professor talks about(读题干)”，这样的话并不是废话，它是在帮助考生更清晰的呈现自己答题的架构。
Q
3 到底什么才是4分的delivery?
这是一个让同学最关心并且感到痛苦的问题，到底什么样的音频才能得4分，也就是口语中的满分!那我们来来看看考官的原话
毫无疑问，关键词就是这个native!
一张嘴就是native speaker 的感觉，一张嘴就让考官觉得mind-blowing. 这个要求对我们中国同学确实是个挑战，同学可能会抱怨，这是我的二语，给你有个主语不错了，还要我像native speaker?!但是残酷的事实就是这样，想冲口语高分，需要大家下更多的苦功，每天练习，只要开口，就在进步!

35. The job was finished at a sitting (a stretch). 这工作一下子(一口气)就做完了。
篇7：托福口语到底如何打分
新托福在近年来了一次大变脸，取消了语法部分，增加了口语测试。其中口试部分，共六道题目，每题4分，难度较大。特别是后四道题，融读、听、说于一体。其中第三题提供一篇百词左右的阅读材料，考生需在45秒内读完，然后再听一段长达1~2分钟的对话，30秒后，给考生1分钟时间陈述两段材料和对话。
“这个难度很大，很多考生栽在口试上。”专家称，以口试第三题为例，考生需经历读、听、思、说四个步骤。时间只有15秒、30秒，稍一“打野”，就一抹黑了。
在口语测试中，考生不必陈述自己的观点，而是用听读材料中的具体信息作答。这其实就是在考查学生是否具备了对先前读到、听到的材料进行快速归纳、总结、融合，然后再用口语复述的能力。很多考生反映，最不适应的题型就是口语先听后说部分。这“最不适应”反映出了考生对新托福的新题型产生了严重的“水土不服”。
新托福与旧托福相比较，增加了口语和综合能力测试，对阅读和写作占优势的多数考生来说，新托福“放倒”一批考生也在情理之中。
考生在强化口语表达能力的同时，切不可忽略了阅读和听力。专家建议，平时在上课时，可尝试用英语做笔记，锻炼汉语转换成英语的反馈能力。
“很多考生在口语测试中，容易犯‘鹅、鹅、鹅’的笑话，即不时卡壳。”老师们说，在新托福的口试中，考生要谨记放慢语速，如果用很快的语速作答，稍有停顿，考官会误认为你是由于词汇量不够而卡壳。对此，专家建议，平时最好有意识地锻炼自己的词语运用能力，如和同学一起做“句子接龙”游戏，以某句话为故事开端，每个人顺势接一个英语句子，情节足够丰富后，即成一个有趣的故事。
此外，新托福会经常出现一些专用词汇，如医学类、生物类等。学生平时记单词时要留意生僻的专用词汇，即使不会拼写，也要做到“眼熟”、“耳熟”，不要让这些生涩的词汇影响了在口语考试里的表现。
英语口语
篇8：托福口语备考从哪里开始练
托福口语备考从哪里开始练?先提升这4大能力准没错
托福口语备考先提升能力：传译能力
很多同学认为，想要学好英语，那么从逻辑和观念上就要抛弃自己母语的思维方式。但此方法是不正确的，衡量口语的关键的标准是传译。若想让口语练习有效果，一定要理解美国人的思维方式以及对于中英文的不同，把握大方向的前提才能够取得有效的进步。所以在托福口语的练习过程中传译的能力也是十分重要的。
托福口语备考先提升能力：词汇积累能力
在整个托福考试的备考过程中，大家都一直在强调词汇的重要性，特别是一些学术类的专业词汇的出现，比如像生物学、医学类等专业词汇，考生一碰到就蒙了。所以考生在备考托福词汇的时候，针对这些专业类词汇要特别注意一些，很多大牛都总结了各科的考试的专业词汇，大家可以集中的去背一背，就算你不会拼写，也要做到“眼熟”、“耳熟”，别使得这样生涩的词汇让你在口语考试里的表现受影响。
托福口语备考先提升能力：猜测能力
对于同一国籍间，交流上没有太大的问题的考生来说，就算有部分地方语言上的差异，但是大的文化背景是一样的，大家可以靠猜也能猜出大概的意思来，但是对于中国考生学英语来说，根本就是2个文化差别较大的语言碰到了一起，结构靠猜肯定是靠不住的。在中国的教育教学当中，老师也不提倡大家去猜，但是做为语言的学习，有时有一些猜测是无可厚非的。由于你也许当交流过程里，有一个单词并未听明白，此时便要求对方的含义做猜测。不然的话，交流就会中断，没有办法进行完全的沟通交流。
托福口语备考先提升能力：表达能力
在托福口语考试中，要将题目中的内容表达出来，才能获得高分。因为托福口语的特殊性，平时考生对其的重视程度可以不及，所以练习的相对也较少，如此长久，将会严重拖托福考试成绩的后腿的。所以一到考试的时候，很多考生的表达中大多数按照中文的思路来答题，也就是所谓的中式英文，这样的口语答案很难赢得考官的青睐，自然获得不了太高的分数。

TV on the wall, glass-made tea table, beautiful plants, couch and sofa, a good book, a good wine. It gives
me a sense of satisfaction and away from hurly burly. It is at times a place to contemplate and at times a
place to share with friends. In a word, it is graceful, refined, comfortable and restful.

Describe some kind of skill that you’d like to learn most. Why? Please include specific examples and details in your explanation
Well, the skill that I want to command is to repair large-scale machines, which is of great help in my
scientific research. Firstly, if I can repair apparatus in my laboratory all by myself, I won’t depend on
others. Asking others for solution usually costs considerable time and money. I even have to please them
in order to solve the problem as soon as possible. In addition, if I master the skill of machine-reparation,
I’ll be more familiar with the machine and working principle and can offer help to others. That’s why I
want to learn the skill of machine-reparation.
The skill I want to learn most is cooking as the following reasons. Firstly, I’m going to study abroad, so cooking is very necessary for me when i live alone. As we all know that it is very costly for me to eat out always. So cooking is a economical way. Secondly, if I could cook well, I would cook for my foreign friends. Let them know the culture of cooking in my country. Besides these, I can do some part time jobs to earn my pocket money.
托福黄金口语80题及答案：Describe events/ experiences
1. 我做过的最重要的决定 ?
The most important decision that I have ever made is when I was 19 years old. I chose chemistry as my
major in my college. It’s of great importance because it determines what I will learn and what I will do the
next four years. What is more, it partly determines my future career for the rest of my life. After four
years of study, I think I made a right decision, because I do like chemistry and have learned a lot of skills. I
also have learned how to create an idea and implement it in my study and scientific research, which is an
important ability during my lifetime.
Personally speaking, the most important decision that I have made in my life is to choose marketing as my major in university, as we all know that marketing is a kind of major which cuts across the boundaries of many different disciplines, so in order to learn it well, I have to learn various subjects such as international trade and brand management. What’s more, i’m little timidity in front of challenges such as doing the presentation and negotiation, I guess most of the people may have this kind of stage fright, So marketing is a major can definitely anneal myself. During the studies in university, I learned hard and practiced as much as I could. Finally, I got the highest GPA in my grade.
2. 我的人生目标?
Everyone has a goal to fulfill. What’s your goal and explain why you want to fulfill this goal. Please include specific examples and details in your explanation.
To tell you the truth, my aim is to be a journalist as my future career. And I have partly achieved it. You
know what, I have dreamed to be a journalist since I was still in middle school. And then I chose
journalism as my major in university though my parents strongly opposed to that. During my time in the
university, I worked hard and practiced as much as I could. Yesterday afternoon, I received a phone call. It
was from China Daily which is one of the most famous newspapers in my country. They provided me an
offer to be a journalist in their newspaper! it's like a dream come true.
Frankly speaking, I would like to be a teacher as my future career. I have dreamed to be a teacher since I was still in the primary school. Cuz training is my cup of tea. I am very glad and proud of to share my knowledge and views with others. Well, secondly, with the fast speed of development in China, the demand of professional talent is a pressing issue, so I would like to contribute my effort to the development of China. As my father always tell me to do something constructive and beneficial to the ordinary people.
3. 印象最深的时刻?
Speaking of celebrations, there is one day of the year that is second to none in our country, it is the first
day of the year in lunar calendar, which is called the Spring Festival by most Chinese people. Even if you
are indifferent with festive events, you cannot resist the charm of a family reunion dinner which marks the
defining feature of the Spring Festival. And during the dinner, family members make toasts for each other
in order to wish for joy, peace, health and fortune for the next year.
4. 描述一个我遇到的最有挑战性的经历?
I once had a tough experience last semester when I was invited to show my dance with my friends in a
large-scale celebration evening. It was challenging because we had only less than two weeks for
preparation. Even worse, it was the end of the term and we were all busy with our final exams. In such a
short time, as a leader, I investigated new dancing actions after my work during the daytime and taught
other members every night. We taught and learned together and encouraged each other when we were
frustrated. Finally, we had achieved a fantastic performance.
Frankly speaking, what the most challenging experience for me is as a leader in my brand management assignment group. This assignment required us to build a virtual brand. As a leader, I pay a significant amount of energy on this assignment. I allocated task to my group members and discussed issue with them. This process of learning definitely develops my abilities such as leadership, coordination and problem handling.
5. 描述一个对我来说最重要的机会?
Many years have passed, but till today, I still could not forget the special opportunity I have received. It
was a rainy afternoon. When I was watching TV in my dorm room, I received a phone call. The man in the
phone asked me whether I was still looking for a job? I replied yes. And he then told me that he had read
my resume on the Internet and could provide me a job as manager secretary in their company. Later I
successfully join this company. Looking back, this is actually the start point of my career path and I
learned a lot during my stay there. That’s why I consider it a very special opportunity to me.
There is a special opportunity that I have received still means a lot to me. I still could not forget that is a class assignment, the teacher required us to work together. My roommates were consistent to recommend me as a team leader in this assignment. I was really surprised by that. To be a leader is a precious challenge for me to improve my own various abilities. Definitely, under our efforts, we accomplished assignment successful.
篇9：地道口语英语学习：迅速
小对话
A: When you went to the dormitory this morning, had your roommates already come?
你今早去宿舍的时候，你的室友已经来了吗?
B: Not yet. All my roommates came like a dose of salts.
还没有，但是我的室友们没过多久就会来的。
地道表达like a dose of salts
释义:
Like a dose of salts表示“很迅速有效地”，但是从字面上来看“像盐一样”。“盐”跟“迅速有效”有什么关系呢?原来这一用语中涉及到的盐不是普通盐，而是泻盐或硫酸锰盐。这种泻盐18世纪以来被作为用药，用于治疗便秘。人服了泻盐，便秘就自然迅速有效地解决了，由此便引申出“处理事务的迅速有效”“一下子，很快地”。对话中“ All my roommates came like a dose of salts. ”意思是“我的室友们没过多久就都到齐了。”
例句：
He gets through his pay like a dose of salts, and by Monday he's broken.
一发工资, 他就很快花个精光, 到了星期一便身无分文了。
Good Lord! The children have gone through that packet of biscuits like a dose of salts.
老天爷!孩子们很快地吃完了那包饼干。
语言拓展dose n. 剂量;一剂，一服;vi. 服药;vt. 给药;给…服药
例句：
In short, we badly need another very big dose of stimulus.
简言之，我们很需要另一个很大剂量的刺激计划。
The consultant there stopped all of her medications except for a low doseof a single antipsychotic.
那里的医生停掉了她所有的药物，除了剂量很低的一种安定药。
