Various Kinds of Lectures
____________
Talks on current issues come first. Nowadays, even though college students concern much about events
happening across the country and the globe, due to the lack of experience and limited vision, our views may
not be mature. The well-read teachers speak on some hot domestic or international issues, such as the
international significance of the return of Hong Kong and the re-election of Clinton. They present the latest
information and facts from diversified sources, analyze them and give personal comments on them. Their
interpretation is less dogmatic than what we hear over the mass media. The lectures on current issues and
events attract most of the grades.
Tips on English studies are closely related to our major courses. These lectures usually deal with a
single aspect of the English language. For example, in the lecture entitled “The stress and stress shift in
English,” the lecturer discussed the stress problems in English pronunciation and explained some basic
principles on how to stress a two- yllable or a multi-syllable word. After attending the lecture, we feel more
confident about the stress of English words. Likewise, several lectures on common errors in English usage
clarified our confusion on synonyms. Lectures of this kind serve as complements to our academic courses and
help to reinforce the knowledge we learn in class. Both the sophomores and freshmen are the frequent
attendants of these lectures.
As English majors, the better acquainted we are with the English and American society, the easier it
becomes for us to learn the language well. Cultural notes are lectures providing diversified background
information on western society. They cover a broad range of topics, including music, sports, religion, and
etiquette and daily lives of the people in English-speaking countries. This kind of one-hour presentation
enjoys great popularity among students. Once a lecture captioned “American Country Music” even created
a sensation on the campus. The lecture room that evening was virtually packed. All the students remained
fervently faithful even during the blackout in the middle of the lecture. Both the lecture and the music the
teacher played refreshed us; not only did we get knowledge but also entertainment. Cultural notes are
welcomed by both freshmen and grades.
Short as they are, these lectures offer much background knowledge and information beyond textbooks,
sharpening our language skills, deepening our understanding of western culture and society. Compared with
the regular classes we have everyday, these mini lectures are more relaxing and more lively. As the attendance
is not compulsory, we can choose the ones we are particularly interested in. Therefore, we concentrate better
and get more out of the lectures. As a plus, they offer us a chance to taste different teaching styles of the
speakers.
