16、, ladies and gentlemen. Having authentic and polished oral English is every learners dream, however,(1)many of my students spent a lot of years, money and efforts in speaking this language well but failed to be able to communicate and speak out, the reason for which might be mainly the lack of confi
17、dence and right methods. I still remember when I first landed on the soil of Beijing 5 years ago: 1 could not communicate with my friends and even felt uneasy when going out with them because I did not have the confidence to start a conversation with my Mandarin.(2)Its the same to the English learne
18、rs who have no courage to start a topic and face an awkward silence after the initial greeting was given because they dont know what to talk about and are not confident of putting something across correctly, thus the conversation comes to an end. Here I would like to give you some advice on how to s
19、peak good English in terms of the experience I got from being a teacher for many language training schools and being interpreter for government as well as embassies. There are 3-D methods(Dialogue, Discussion and Debate)to improve your eloquence. First of all, its important to be involved in dialogu
20、es. I notice that many students do well in speaking when conducting a prepared speech or presentation in class.(3)But speaking English fluently is not just about making presentations and giving speeches. It is about expressing your ideas and insight on the most mundane things around you. The ability
21、 to make dialogues is very important in social communication. (4)Topics for casual conversation could include the weather, education, music, current affairs, hobbies, travel, etc. Do not always ask foreigners “what is your name and how is your job“ when you want to find one to practice your English
22、with.(5)Before going to English Corner, please read up on your area of interest and try framing sentences to express your opinions.(6)Talk about it with someone close to you or someones English level is higher than yours, so you can check for your language accuracy and fluency.(7)Youd better grasp r
23、egularly used ways of small talk, and you will be able to initiate speaking more confidently. If you can break this barrier and speak out with passion and confidence, you can take your first step into the realm of English speaking and become a public speaker in the future. Secondly, discussion and d
24、ebate play a key role. (8)I always enlighten my students that your language ability and academic achievements are very important and imperative, but the most important of all is your eloquence to communicate in the personal relationships. Elite may not have eloquence, but an eloquent person must be
25、an elite. So the best way to drill your speaking abilities is to discuss and debate. When 1 was a junior, I always raised discussions with my classmates in my dorm, questions like environmental protection, cohabitation, 2008 Olympics, postgraduate exams and so on. After everyone aired his opinions,
26、we conducted debate to argue, to express ideas to convince the others. And I gradually build up on my own repertoire of conversational topics and start using them whenever I get a chance: subsequently I have good command of English, and won a lot of awards in English speech contest and debate. Hence
27、, its also effective for you, my beloved friends or students, to have a try to use your language to discuss and debate. Of course, other methods may work, too. Many students do want to improve their English by all means.(9)Its self-evident that all of us like taking down notes when we are listening
28、to the lectures given by teachers at school. But its not a correct way to speak good language. Can you learn swimming by standing at the edge of the pool and taking down the words spoken by the coach? You have to take the plunge, right? I seldom took notes when I was given lessons, but I would memor
29、ize them with my mouth, my mind and my ears.(10)There is just one case I will take notes when I am doing my job as an interpreter for the Beijing municipal government and embassy. I still remember when I was interpreting for the ambassador from the Philippines, at which moment she was delivering the
30、 speech about 10 minutes at the Great Wall international conference. Hadnt I taken the notice from the speaker, I dont think I would have interpreted for her and won the applause from the officials. It is the same with language.(12)Unless you use the language everyday, you will never know how good y
31、ou are at it. Ask your friends who are good at English for help.(11)Try to speak it as much as possible, and let them interrupt you whenever you make mistakes and ask them to correct you.(13)Do not feel embarrassed to make mistakes, for that is the only way you will learn. Enjoy losing face and enjo
32、y making mistakes because that is the way how the process of acquiring fluency of a language occurs. Everyone may have made a lot of mistakes before getting a good grasp of mother tongue. The only difference now is that you are conscious of the mistakes. So, do not be afraid of making mistakes. (14)
33、Then, there are attitudes that count most. (15-1)If you do want to learn something well, you are supposed to have confidence and passion. I love playing the piano, basketball and learning as well as being a teacher, to which I devote my whole interest, confidence and passion no matter how many mista
34、kes I will encounter, how helpless, how hopeless and how far away for me to reach my final goal. I will never stop fighting for the betterment and improvement of myself and to be an all-grounded person equipped with knowledge and clear mindset.(15-2)And that is why I hope all of you can be confident
35、 and passionate for what you have done and what you will be doing. Finally, I want to say, “ try to be confident and passionate in the journey of study and life, all you need is a will to learn and the initiative to begin. That done, it is simply a matter of time and effort!“ 【知识模块】 听力 1 【正确答案】 conf

M: (1)Caitlin Friedman offers advice on being a smart woman-in-charge in her new book: The Girls Guide to Being a Boss With
40、out Being Unpopular. Good morning, nice to have you here. W: Right. Those women need my book, terribly. M: Absolutely. Why is it that when women get into a position of power, when they become the boss or become leaders, they tend to be unpopular? W: Well, we think there are two reasons.(2- 1)The fir
41、st is, its really unfair that in the workplace people expect women to be emotionally there for them.(3-1)You would never take your personal problems to a male boss, but you do take them to a woman boss because women are nurturing, just because thats what women do. M: (3 - 2)You expect them to unders
42、tand the issues with your kids or whatever. W: Right,(2-2)and the other thing is there havent been any positive women roles. 1 mean, there are very few positive women role models out there. Especially look at the movies, which say women are just crazy persons when they get a little power, so what we
43、 try to do in the book is to show people how to do it a little bit better. M: And well get to some of that in a minute,(5 - 1)but why are the roles so different for men and women when they do become the boss? W: (5-2)Well, I think it really has to do with the lack of role models. I mean, when we wer
44、e growing up and coming into the professional environment, we had really tough women bosses, but they had learnt from men.(2-3)So we think that women need to be able to manage the way they are comfortable in managing. M: Whats the No. 1 mistake women are making? W: I think the No. 1 mistake women ar
45、e making is that theyre trying to do something the way thats not comfortable for them.(4)You know, you really need to be firm and fair. You need to know what your employees need from you before you just want to set out these blanket things. The other thing is that if you are emotional once in a work
46、place, you are the crier from then on, though you cried only this time in ten years. And thats what happens to women. You know, they get stuck with these bad raps and we think that what you need to do is really try to be as firm and fair as possible. This is the end of Part One of the interview. Que
47、stions 1 to 5 are based on what you have just heard. 1. What kind of job might the interviewee take for a living? 2.

49、here no place for emotion than in a workplace? W: (6- 2)Well, we dont think there is. I mean we think that you can be yourself, which is kind and supportive, warm and giving,(6-3)but not crying, screaming, or beating people. I mean, how many women did we interview for this book and they all said, “ Oh, this woman screamed at me and threw something at me. “ M: That sounds crazy. So lets talk about practical advice: how women can avoid some of thes
