Unfortunately, learning it like this tends to make you feel distant and bored. The truth is, most people in English-speaking c
14、ountries dont speak to each other in such a formal way. They speak in a casual way to their friends and families. When speaking casually, people tend to use a lot of informal or colloquial words, and also shorten and connect their phrases. They say things like “Hey, whats up?” or “Hey! Whatcha been
15、dion?” These expressions are both common and natural, and make you seem like a native speaker. Using them may make people more interested in talking to you. This type of English is more like what you will hear in movies and TV shows. Speaking this way makes native speakers feel more relaxed and you

30、experience for me. First of all, living at the university gives me a sense of responsibility, of being on my own. My parents arent around to say, “No, youre not going out tonight.” I decide everything for myself. Being around lots of friendly people is another aspect I like about university life. On
31、 my first say, when I arrived on campus, I was a bit confused about where I was going.

32、nd to talk with. Finally, I LOVE HAVING Fridays off; I would not be able to deal with five days of classes in a row. How did I do it in high school? I love sleeping in on Fridays.

34、nning a few minutes every morning around breakfast time. This idea may sound a little too simple to the learners, because they took English in high school for a quite a few years, but they didnt become proficient speakers of the language. As a matter of fact I do not mean that we can become fluent s
35、peakers with just a few minutes here and there, but following a regular and consistent course of study can help us on the way to language mastery. In other words, people need to plan out their study by setting realistic and attainable goals from the beginning. Some people get caught up in the craze
36、of learning the language on 30 days, only to give up when they cant perform up to their expectations. And small steps little by little, are the key. For example, planning to learn to use them activelyis far better than learning 30 and forgetting them the next day.1. T 2. F 3.F 4.F 5.TTask 3: Listeni
37、ng EffectivelyThrough it is 50% of everyday communication, listening, it seems, is the least taught. Listening is more than just hearing: it requires understanding. In an educational setting, listening effectively is critical. Effective listening results in doing the right assignment, doing the assi
38、gnment correctly, and taking notes effectively. Doing these activities well results in learning and, most of the time, good grades. In a professional setting, listening is also critical. When you receive an oral message, your response must be correct. If you fail to listen to customers or clients, y
39、ou may lose their business, and your job! Ina personal setting, listening effectively deepens your relationships. When we listen to someone, we say “You are important” without ever speaking a word. When we fail to listen, not only do we not receive the message, but we send the message that we are ju

44、: Yao MingI first saw Yao Ming back in 1997. Nike had just signed a contract to sponsor the Shanghai Sharks. We had a little party to introduce ourselves and get to know the players. A few of us were there when the team walked in. They looked normal, most about 64 or so. Then, a thin, baby-faced guy
45、 about 75 came in. We were all surprised at seeing him. We couldnt believe his size. And when he started hitting three-pointers, we were really blown away! Our guys in the US didnt believe that there was a Chinese kid that tall. To convince them, we had to bring him to a Nike camp in Paris that summ
46、er. Yao had always played against kids who were older than him. This was the first time he was competing with players his own age. Del Harris, then the Lakers coach, was at the camp. He fell in love with Yao Ming. He was telling everybody, “I got to have a picture with that kid. One day hes going to

At a Dutch club, Ronaldo got 30 goals on 33 matches. Back home, he was a member of the Brazilian team that won the World Cup in the U.S .In 1994.Althoug
