落后的英文-abominable
1. Talk about an important news
event that happened
recently in your country
.Describe the event and explain why it
was
important.
Recently, there was a news
about a little girl run over by a van
and
within 7 minutes,18 people walked by without
giving a hand.
Finally she was saved by a
scavenger. The news is very important
because
it shows that our society is apathetic. People
aren’t
willing to help others and they fear to
help others. This is
pathetic. This news
sparked an awful lot of discussions on the
Internet and increased the public awareness of
an issue that we
are gradually losing our
virtue. Our virtue has been sapped
by our
apathy. What should we do to save the society and
save
ourselves?
2. Do you
agree or disagree with the following
statement: Your friends are the most
important influence in
your life. Use details
and examples to explain your opinion
I
agree with the statement friends are the most
important
influence in my life. Firstly, I
learned how to be sociable from
friends. When I first entered a company, I was
a loner. I didn’
t understand the basic social
rules. One of my friends, Lillian,
gave me a
lot of advice about how to behave in front of the
boss
and what to say in front of colleagues.
Secondly, friends are my
good-listeners. Many
times I felt helpless and painful because
of
some frustrations, I went to my friends. They
would sit in front
of me, listening to my
complaints or swear words and then comforted
me. These are the things that neither my
parents or other relatives
can give me.
3. The woman expresses her opinion about
the
university’s plan. Briefly summarize the
plan. Then sate her
opinion about the plan and
explain the reasons she gives for
holding that
opinion.
The university is planning to
send daily e-mail to all students
so that they
can get information about campus events and
activities every day. The woman thinks it’s a
great idea. First
of all, the woman thinks the
weekly newspaper is not up-to-date.
She reads
it every Monday, but she’ll forget a concert on
Thursday
or a film on Wednesday. She also says
that the email can serve
as an
reminder so if any event gets cancelled, people
will know
and won’t waste time going. Second
of all, the woman says everyone
checks email
once a day and if they include cafeteria menu in
the
email every day, people definitely will
read it.
4. Explain how the example
from the lecture
illustrates the technique of
questioning awareness of effect.
By
asking a student a question that draws attention
to the negative
effect of the student’s
behavior, teachers can lead the student
to
discontinue the disruptive behavior. This is
called
questioning awareness effect. The
professor once taught kids and
he had a rule
that students should raise hands and wait to be
called
name to answer questions. But some kids
had trouble following this
rule. For example a
student named Sarah didn’t raise hand to answer
questions, which is frustrating for other
kids. One day, when she
called out, the
professor asked her a question: “Sarah, Do you
realized when you called out answers without
raising hands, you
are not being fair to other
students.” The professor didn’t stop
to wait
for her answer but continued teaching the class.
So he
drew Sarah’s attention to the negative
effect of her behavior
by asking
this question. After that, she didn’t call out
answer
and started to raise her hand like
everyone else.
5. Briefly
summarize the problem the speakers are
discussing. Then state which solution you
would recommend.
Explain the reasons for your
recommendation.
The woman has been
rehearsing for a play. But there is a guy named
Bill who can’t remember his lines. The woman
is not sure whether
he will be ready for the
opening night. There are two solutions
discussed in the conversation. The first one
is to replace him
with another actor who can
play the part. But the woman worries
that
removing Bill will hurt his feelings. The second
solution
is to spend time with Bill, work with
him to help him remember
lines. But the woman
has other parts of the production to take
care
of. Personally, I recommend the woman to try the
second
solution first to see if Bill will
improve under her help. Maybe
Bill’s got some
real problems remembering some lines or maybe
he is just nervous and forgetful on the stage.
So find problems
first and then decide whether
to replace him or not.
6.
Using points and examples from the talk, describe
two changes that occurred after machines began
to be used for
manufacturing goods.
The first change is that the center of
production moved from homes
to factories. Take
the production of clock as an example,
traditionally people had made clocks by hand
at home. But when
steam-powered machines were
invented and used to weave clock, the
clock
production became more quickly and efficiently. So
the
making of clocks shifted from home-made
business to factory
production. Another change
is that cities started forming around
factories. For example, if a clock factory was
built in a small
village, the factory would
hire a lot of rural workers. So the
workers
started to congregate in the village. As a
result,the
village got bigger and bigger and
eventually grew to a city.
