15、 to be effective readers. Id like to spend some time discussing with you the following topics: What is reading? How can we read effectively? And what are the types and skills of reading? First of all, Id say,(1)reading is a method of absorbing written information. It mainly contains two aspects: the
16、 degree of comprehension and the reading speed.(2)Our reading ability is closely related to our vocabulary, cultural background knowledge and reading techniques. However, we vary widely in every significant aspect intelligence, language skills, interest, etc. So we are supposed to recognize our indi
17、vidual differences and work hard to be effective readers. In my opinion, there are many things that we could do. Firstly, we should develop a love of reading by making reading a regular and enjoyable activity. If so, we will be keen on reading and keeping reading everyday. In this way, we will get d
18、ifferent information from reading.(3)Secondly, we should have a clear purpose in reading.(4)And we should know why we need to improve our reading speed and use different strategies for different reading tasks. Thirdly, developing good reading habits is quite important.(5)We should concentrate on the
19、 important parts, skim the rest, and skip the insignificant parts. Sometimes we should read silently rather than read aloud. The second point Id like to make is about the types of reading. Many books, papers and dissertations have been written about various types of reading, as well as methods of te
20、aching reading. We will not go into details but will briefly revise basic types of reading. In academic environment, there are two basic types of reading: intensive and extensive. Let us briefly look at them separately. What is intensive reading?(6)Intensive reading is reading carefully for an exact
21、 understanding of text. In practical life, acquired intensive reading skills are used for comprehension of contracts, business letters, memorandums, application forms and legal documents.(7)Intensive reading equips us with basic reading strategies to enable us to achieve fluency and competence in th
22、e areas of vocabulary recognition and to develop critical thinking skills. The objectives of intensive reading courses are usually achieved through the following activities, such as, distinguishing a variety of text types and genres, guessing and predicting the content of a text, interacting with a
23、variety of texts for different purposes, and so on. Then what is extensive reading?(8)Extensive reading is reading a lot for pleasure at a fairly easy level with emphasis on general understanding so that whatever is read is comprehended without the use of a dictionary.(9)Extensive reading increases
24、language proficiency, especially reading level and speed.(10)Extensive reading encourages us to take charge of our own reading development and produce independent readers who value reading as a life-long pursuit. Also it develops the habit of reading not just for information or to perform certain ta
25、sks but also for pleasure. The objectives of extensive reading are usually achieved through establishing personally relevant reading goals, comparing a variety of question types and narrations, maintaining a record with details of reading accomplished each week, and so on. To be specific, while read
26、ing intensively or extensively, we should notice a balance a balance to be struck between real reading materials on the one hand and our levels and interests on the other. There is some authentic written material which beginners can understand to some degree: menus, timetables, signs and basic instr
27、uctions. But for intermediate and advanced readers, many original or abridged books and books via the Internet can be offered. Anyway, the materials to be read should be interesting and meaningful. Thirdly, Id like to say, generally speaking, reading programs for different levels of readers have dif
28、ferent focuses and emphasize specific reading skills.(11)Programs for beginners generally focus on developing a basic reading vocabulary, decoding skills and reading for meaning.(12)Programs for intermediate or advanced readers are shifted to expanding vocabulary, refining comprehension skills and m
29、astering skills. In order to make reading more efficient, it is necessary for us to know some reading strategic skills. Skimming and scanning are two specific reading strategic skills for quick and efficient reading.(13)The purpose of skimming is to find the main idea of the passage. Readers often d
30、o skimming when they have lots of material to read in a limited amount of time.(14)When skimming, readers only try to locate specific information and they often do not even follow the development of the story. Scanning is another technique readers often use when looking up a word in a telephone book
31、 or dictionary to(15)search for key words or ideas. Scanning involves moving your eyes quickly down the page to seek specific words and phrases. Based on this, I will introduce to you three strategies which may help you to conduct effective reading. First, make sure the books are specific to your ag
32、e and reading levels. Second, find some background information which relates to the book before reading. Third, leave plenty of time for reflection and let yourself be free to develop imagination at the end of the reading. OK, today we had a brief look at the ways of how to be effective readers, and
33、 the types and skills of reading as well. Undoubtedly, reading is always beneficial. I hope youll enjoy reading and keep reading after todays lecture.

As we all know,(1)sexism in English language has exi
42、sted for a long time, which is the reflection of traditional ethics that men are superior to women. Today I will focus on the causes of sexism in English language, and I will discuss it from four aspects: the cultural factor, the physiological factor, the social factor and the psychological factor.
43、First, lets have a look at the cultural factor. (2)The Holy Bible is actually a book of men. As Christianity is such a powerful religion in Western countries, it is unreasonable to deny that this helps to set and consolidate the inferiority of women. From the Holy Bible, we know man came to the worl
44、d first while woman was made from one of the mans ribs. From the order of the birth, it is obvious to see the different importance of man and woman. In addition,(3)the first sin is also committed by the woman. She was seduced by the snake into eating the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good an
45、d evil and having the man eat too. At last, the woman was punished to bring forth children in pain and was ruled over by the man. From above, the superiority of men and inferiority of women is clearly seen. Second, well move to the physiological factor. (4)For extended work and life together, people
46、 realized that men are tall in stature, strong in muscle and robust in physique. In contrary to men, women are small in stature, weak in physique and have more fat and less muscle than men. Women also mature more rapidly. In a word, men are stronger than women. This determines that men play a more a
47、nd more important role in social and economic lives. A mans job is to work outside but a womans job is to stay at home, do the housework and take care of the children. Women are treated as the weaker ones and they realize their own values through their marriages to men. At last, women are lower in s
48、tatus. They have to depend on men and are dominated by men.(5)Gradually, people begin to discriminate women and think that they are inferior in intelligence. This wrong perspective forms slowly and reflects in language. (6)Third, Ill focus on the social factor, or we might say labor division. (7)Feminists all claim that we live in a patriarchal society: a society of men, ruled by men and for men. Patriarchy depicts men as the perfect norm against which wom
