Superstar and I

It’s common that many students are crazy about those singers and actors. However, liyundi, a pianist, is the superstar in my heart. He is a man of few words and he even looks like the greatest pianist—Chopin. When listening to his music , I can get rid of everything noisy around. What’s more, I can feel his strong love for music. Rome wasn’t built in one day. He achieved the great success through huge effort. I can learn from him that we should never give up to realize our dreams.

Superstar and I

Her name first appeared as a joke then like a wonder. She is Susan Boyle, the superstar in my heart. Although she’s not beautiful, her voice and spirit moved all the audience, including me. The song ’I dreamed a dream’ that she sang touched everyone’s heart who had a dream and wanted to realize it. She taught me how to go on my dreams as well as never to give up. She is like a sunshine that gives me hope. Where there is a will, there is a way.

有的同学总是抱怨时间紧，根本没时间写作文。其实“写”的形式很多，不一定就写作文才提高写作能力。比如写下你一天中发生的一些重要的事情，或当天学了某一个词组，你可以创设一个语境恰如其份地用上这个词。这样即可帮你记住这个词的用法，又可以锻炼你的写作能力，比如学“wish”一词时，可写一小段如下：

The teacher often asks us what we want to be in the future.My good friend Tom

wishes to be a soldier.However,I'm different .I wish I were a teacher in the future.But my mother wishes me to be a doctor.

口语是需要技巧的。光靠大胆自信还不够。关键是系统的方法。我是英语专业毕业的，英语八级，现在当翻译，在大学时去英语角，上课发言等都不管用，一度非常苦恼。后来发现口语练习需要系统的方法。建议你按照我的方法做。 买个口语软件，口语宝或者右脑王都不错。 1语音阶段，照软件的内容练，一天俩小时，最多一个月，语音可以过关。无论你的基础怎么样。切记一定要仔细认真模仿纠正模仿在模仿。 2篇章阶段，根据软件上的资料，句子，语音，语调，断句，停顿，高低，节奏，长短等等，越细越好，模仿，对比，模仿，纠正，再模仿。不求量只求质。同样一个月，明显可以提高。3电影阶段，看英语电影。每句话听五遍以上，看看能听懂几个单词。在看汉语五遍，看看能听懂几个词组，再看英语五遍以上。然后倒过来从英语字幕到汉语字幕到无字幕，五遍以上。冰河世纪这部影片够你看两个月，五分钟的影片可以看两小时以上。4与人交流。现在开始舍弃软件，自信大胆的与中国人，别管对错，把自己想说的说出来。与老外更好。记住耐心模仿，细心比较，持之以恒，反反复复，1,2个月以后你的口语一定很棒。{与机遇相关的英语谚语}.

你是外企的白领要经常的说英语哦，这个很正常的哦，如果你要学英语口语的话，那么对如何学习英语口语我有一些经验了。我建议你可以跟我一样报个电话英语培训啊。现在的电话英语还很很好了，电话英语，只通过声音传递内容上课，所以要求学生要有更高的注意力，

因此对提高听力有很大的帮助，同时在听他人说话的同时，自己也要开口说话，这种学习方式被认为是锻炼听力和口语的最佳方法，还有，电话英语最大的优势就是将上课内容全程录音可以供课后复习。而且时间安排可以在你的工作空余时间来学习英语口语哦，

如何学习英语口语的必备条件—语言环境。口语是交流、是听和说。学习任何一种语言，首先要听懂，然后才学说话。口语不可以自学。学习英语口语必须进入英文语言环境。每天听的都是英文，也必须讲英文。中国学生为什么不会讲英文？因为中国的英文老师大部分不讲英文，用中文上英文课。学生在英文课上不讲英文，大部分还是讲中文。1 如何学好英语口语--学习英文口语最好是英文母语老师—即外教。英文为母语的老师，从小生活在英文的环境里。知道各种生活场景、生活内容的英文用语，并且他们的发音纯正，只有他们才可以教好口语。就像外国人要学中文，一定要请中国的老师。所有这里我向你推荐恩京电话英语培训学校，真是不错的，外教通过电话一对一教授日常口语，商务口语，雅思口语.面试英语，外贸口语,青少年英语等，每天回到家，晚上可以学10-20分钟，而且时间，外教都可以任选，均有指定教材，外教都是很有经验的老师，报名后每位学员在网站上都有专属学习地盘，每晚上课时外教会就你的问题当时提出纠正，上课后会在学员的学习地盘中留下当晚学习的详细评语和学员的进步情况分析，及第二天晚上上课讨论的建议。最重要的是，网站上有学员每晚学习的录音，学员可下载收听对照自己的学习；费用也特别实惠，我一个普通打工族就可以接受。随时随地和外教说英语，不错！！2 学习英文还必须了解英文为主的西方文化。学习口语必须知道在什么场合，说什么话？怎么样说话是有礼貌的？什么是外国人忌讳的？就如同中文，从小父母就会教我们在什么场合要说你好、对不起。看见老人、叔叔、阿姨应当怎样称呼？在客人面前该问什么问题？不该说什么话？等等。因为我们的言语得体可以给别人留下良好的印象，不至于造成误会。3 学习口语必须大量地听说练习。我们从小中文是

Good advice is beyond all price. 听君一席话，胜读十年书

1.elder 与elderly

两者都为“年老的”，但有细微的差别。 elderly 指中年与暮年之间的年龄，表示人已过中年，因此，这词常用来代替 old。如：an elderly gentleman. 一位年长的绅士。elder指年龄稍长者，适用于家庭的兄弟姐妹之间。如： Tom is the elder of the two. 汤姆是两个孩子中较大的一个。

2.precious 和 expensive

expensive 表示“昂贵的”。如：the drink was cheap , but the food was very expensive . 饮料很便宜，但食物很贵。 precious 表示“珍贵的，宝贵的”。如：the children are precious to me . 孩子们对我来说很重要。

3.regret to do 和 regret doing

egret doing 表示“做了某事而感到遗憾或后悔”，v-ing 动作发生在regret 之前。如：i regretted missing the train. 我为没有赶上火车而感到很懊恼。 regret to do 指“当时或现在遗憾地做什么”。如：i regret to tell you that we can't stay here any longer. 我遗憾地告诉你，我们不能在这儿多呆了。

4.day by day 和 day after day

两词组意思很近，但有区别：day by day 只用作状语，表示“一天天地”, 有逐渐转变的意思。如：day by day she seems to grow a little taller.她似乎一天天地长高了。 day after day 可作主语，宾语等，亦可作状语，表示“一天又一天”，强调动作的重复，表示时间的长久。如： we do the same work day after day. 每天我们做着同样的事情。/ day after day went by , and i still don't receive her letter. 一天天过去了，我还是没有收到她的来信。

5.damp 与 wet

两者都表示“潮湿的”，但有细微差别。wet 指曾浸泡在液体中或布满了液体的东西，或指多雨的天气。如： it's a wet day. 今天是一个雨天。/ wet clothes 湿衣服。 damp 指未湿透但潮湿的东西。 the damp in the air makes me uncomfortable. 潮湿的空气使我感到不舒服。

6.hunger 与 starvation

两词都表“饥饿”。 hunger 指人对食物的迫切要求，是一种正常的生理现象。如： hunger is the best sauce. 肚子饿了吃什么都香。而 starvation 指长时间缺乏食物引起痛苦，与 hunger 相比是不正常的生理现象，而是人为的灾难。如： the old man died of starvation. 那个老人活活饿死了。

7.boring 与 dull , tiresome

三词都为“令人厌烦的”，但有区别：boring 概念最广，尤指引起人厌倦、枯燥的谈话文章，也指令人生厌的人。 如：the talk was very long and boring. 这篇谈话冗长，毫无趣味。 dull 与 boring 极为相近，也指因呆板或缺乏趣味性而令人感到厌倦。如： a dull book 一本枯燥的书。 tiresome主指单调沉闷而产生疲倦厌烦。如：it's tiresome to be funny for a whole evening整晚上都逗笑取乐是很疲劳的。

8.gift 与 present

两词都为“礼物”，但有细微的差别。 gift 既指免费捐赠给团体或机构的物品，也指亲友间互赠礼品。如： a gift to the museum一件捐给博物馆的赠品。present 指亲友间互赠, 如： here is a little present for you. 这儿有你一份小小的礼物。

9.handsome 与 beautiful

两词都表“美丽”，但有区别。 beautiful 指优美和谐、高贵，多形容妇女、地方、事物，很少用来形容男子。如： a beautiful woman 一位美丽的妇女 / a beautiful scene美景。而 handsome 用于形容男人，表示英俊潇洒。如： he is a tall and handsome man. 他是一个高大英俊的男人。

10.country 与 nation

country 表示国家，包括领土和人民，着重指疆土。该词概念极为广泛，可用于各种文体，有时作“祖国”讲，带感情色彩。如：china is a great country with a long history .中国是一个历史悠久的伟大国家。/ his fathers country was france. 他父亲的祖国是法国。/ after many years abroad,he wanted to return home to his country. 在国外呆了多年以后，他想回到自己的祖国去。country 来源于拉丁文contra，是对立的意思，即某地区与其他地区极不相同从而独立存在。nation指在某一国土上定居的人民，以及代表他们的独立政权。nation 来源于拉丁文nasci,意思是出生，nation原指具有相同血源的民族，因此它强调一个国家中的人民，概念较country 狭窄。如: the chinese nation 中华民族。the whole nation rose to resist aggression. 全民奋起抗击侵略。/ the president spoke on radio to the nation. 总统通过广播向全国人民讲话。 但在国际交往正式场合下，ation 语体庄重，较country 用得多。如：the united nations 联合国/ a most favoured nation 最惠国 / the law of nations 国际公法
