31、only people I had ever known who were interested in art or music or literature, the only ones who read books, the only ones who ever seemed to enjoy a sense of ease and grace were the mothers and daughters Like the menfolk, they fretted about money, they scrimped and made-do. But, when the pay stopp
32、ed coming in, they were not the omens who had failed. Nor did they have to go to war, and that seamed to me a blessed fact. By comparison with the narrow, ironclad days of fathers, there was an expansiveness, I thought, in the days of mothers. They went to see neighbors, to shop in town, to run erra
33、nds at school, at the library, at church. No doubt, had I looked harder at their lives, I would have envied them less. It was not my fate to become a woman, so it was easier for me to see the graces. Few of them held jobs outside the home, and those who did filled thankless roles as clerks and waitr

38、e EFL learners achieve high score in a certain standard English test such as IELTS or TOFEL, they still have some problems concerning the learning of English. Today Id like to talk about some of the problems that students face when they follow a course of study through the medium of English-if Engli
39、sh is not their mother tongue. The purpose is to show that were aware of students problems, and that by analyzing them perhaps itll be possible to suggest how some of them may be overcome.The problems can be divided into three broad categories: psychological, cultural and linguistic. Some of the com
40、mon psychological problems really involve fear of the unknown: for example, whether ones academic studies will be too difficult, whether one will fail the exams, and so on. All students share these apprehensions. Its probably best for a student not to look too far ahead but to concentrate day-by-day
41、 on increasing his knowledge and developing his ability. The overseas student in Britain may also suffer from separation from his family and possible homesickness; enjoyment of his activities in Britain and the passage of time are the only real help here.Looking now at the cultural problems, we can
42、see that some of them are of a very practical nature, for example, arranging satisfactory accommodation, getting used to British money (or the lack of it), British food and weather. Some of the cultural difficulties are less easy to define: they are bound up with the whole range of alien customs, ha
43、bits and traditions - in other words, the British way of life. Such difficulties include: settling into a strange environment and a new academic routine; learning a new set of social habits, ranging from the times of meals to the meanings of gestures; expressing appropriate greetings; understanding
44、a different kind of humor; and learning how to make friends. Being open-minded and adaptable is the best approach to some of the difficulties listed here.The largest category is probably linguistic. Lets look at this in some detail.Most students have learnt English at school, but they have had littl
45、e everyday opportunity to practice using English. When foreign learners first have the opportunity to speak to an English speaking person they may have a shock: they often have great difficulty in understanding! There are a number of reasons for this. Ill just mention three of them.Firstly, it seems
46、 to students that English people speak very quickly. Secondly, they speak with a variety of accents. Thirdly, different styles of speech are used in different situations, for example, everyday spoken English, which is colloquial and idiomatic, is different from the English used for academic purposes
47、. Dont forget, by the way, that if students have difficulty in understanding English speaking people, these people may also have difficulty in understanding the students!What can a student do then to overcome these difficulties? Well, obviously, he can benefit from attending English classes and if a language laboratory is available use it as much as possible. He should also listen to programmes in English on t
