a) Quotations on friendship:
君子之交淡如水: A hedge between keeps friendship green. Friends agree best at a distance.
《庄子·外篇·山木》：“且君子之交淡若水，小人之交甘若醴。君子淡以亲，小人甘以绝，彼无故以合者，则无故以离。” 淡以亲：指淡泊但心地亲近。甘以绝：指小人之交囡过于甜蜜因而往往断绝。
海内存知己，天涯若比邻A bosom friend afar brings a distant land near. 王勃《送杜少甫之任蜀州》
To Wang Lun --- Li Bai 赠汪伦
I'm on board; We're about to sail, 李白乘舟将欲行，
When there's stamping and singing on shore; 忽闻岸上踏歌声。
Peach Blossom Pool is a thousand feet deep, 桃花潭水深千尺，
Yet not so deep,Wang Lun,as your love for me. 不及汪伦送我情。
人生得一知己足矣，斯世当以同怀视之。Life is a bosom friend is sufficient.

Whose face may show smile, frown or anger, 海面时而现出微笑，时而阴霾，时而暴怒，
But whose heart is at bottom unchanging. 可它的心在深深的海底，却始终如一。
May our friendship be not like the flowers, 或许我们的友情不似花朵，
Flowers bloom, flowers fade. 花开还有花谢。

But always exist with mysterious light，可它们那神秘的光芒却亘古永存。
II. Text Study ( 200 minutes)
1. Background materials related to the text: (might just as well be put off after the third period )
American traditional national holidays and festivals, such as the Halloween, Thanks-giving Day, Christmas Day.
Halloween 万圣节
Halloween is celebrated annually. It is on the night of 31 October, when people once believed that ghosts could be seen. Now, in Britain and America, it is a time when children have parties, dress up as witches, make lanterns out of pumpkins from which the inside has been removed, and play "trick or treat”. Trick or treat is a traditional activity at Halloween. Children dress in costumes and visit houses. At each house they say "Trick or treat". This means that they will play a "trick", or joke, on the people in the house unless they are given a "treat", e.g. sweets or money. Most people
prefer to give treats rather than having tricks played on them.
Halloween 的意思是“万圣节”，指每年的10月31日的夜晚。由于人们一直以来都相信每年的这个晚上可以看幽灵出现，因此把它定为“万圣节前夕”。在英美等国，每当这个节日来临，孩子们都采取不同方式来庆祝，他们举行假面晚会，把自己假扮成巫师，将南瓜掏空做成南瓜灯到各家各户玩“trick or treat”把戏。“trick”的意思是恶作剧，开玩笑，“treat”指宴请，款待；如果花了妆的孩子们到了邻居家没有受到好的款待，他们就会拿房间里的人开玩笑，当然人们不想成为被取笑的对象，因此大人们会给来的孩子一些糖果或零钱。这一传统一直保持到今天。
“万圣节”的英语是“All Saint’s Day”或“All Halloween’s Day”
Christmas圣诞节
Annual Christian holiday commemorates the birth of Jesus Christ. Most members of the Roman Catholic Church and followers of Protestantism celebrate Christmas on December 25th; and many celebrate on the evening of December 24th as well. For most people the holiday season id characterized by gatherings among family and friends, feasting and gift giving.

In spoken English sentences tend to be short and simple. Some sentences are incomplete. Besides, some words or phrases do not usually find their way into written English, for example, sort of, kind of, you know, I think, I guess, I take it, well, go ahead, hang out, it’s no fun to do sth., not much of a hand at doing sth., a couple of, every now and then, an awful lot, etc. )

2分钟带翻译英语演讲稿5篇 【篇一】2分钟带翻译英语演讲稿 Good evening ,Ladies and Gentlemen: Thank you very much for choosing to come in such a cold night.Today my topic is about choice and process.A research shows that a man has to make 73 choices one day.With so many choices one day, people easily get so confused and afraid of making wrong choice that they hesitate and finally miss the true part of life. In my opinion, the following part is of much more importance than the choice. There is no absolute right or wrong choice but wonderful or boring life, which the process makes the difference. Life is a box of chocolate,you never know what you will get. Forrest Gump made no decision by and for himself but he accomplished great success with his strong will in the process. The process is not the road itself but the attitudes and feelings ,the caution, courage and persistance we have as we encounter new experience and unexpected obstacles. Take myself as an example, I changed my major when I became a postgraduate. After the choice,days have been harsh for me.I cannot understand the new lessons at all. For they are closely related to mathmatics which I learned nothing about before. However wuth the belief that this is the great chance for me to experience new ideas and challenge myself,I persisted. I asked for help from every channel and reorgonized my life. Gradually I could understand some parts and even found maths interesting.Moreover, I learned to act instead of complaining. In retrospect,the choice left no
大学英语精读课改革模式 关键词：教学模式；二语习得；阅读技巧；交际能力 长期以来，外语一直把精读课作为基础教学阶段的一门主课。笔者认为，有必要尝试一下改变精读课的传统做法。下面透过目前精读课存在的主要问题，提出几点改进建议。 一、主要问题 目前，基础教学阶段的精读课，名为精读，实为融听、说、读、写、译为一体的语言综合入门课。这在语言素材信手拈来的今天，对于入学时已掌握1600个单词、已具有基本语法知识，而听、说、读、写、译却又发展极不平衡的学生来说，这种传统精读课的教学模式已不再完全适用。其弊端在于：(1)语言素材不足。精读课基本是围绕有限的几篇文章进行解释和训练，不利于语言的自然习得，无法增强学生的语感。(2)忽视对阅读技能的训练。精读课注重对课文中语言现象的分析、讲解和操练，而对一系列阅读技能却没有必要的指导和训练。(3)无法兼顾学生入学时听、说、读、写、译的能力发展不平衡的状况。学生入学时的阅读能力远比其他能力强，但为了照顾其他能力的培养，只能选用语言较简单、内容较肤浅的素材。教材不能满足学生提高阅读水平的需求，限制了学生阅读能力的发展，抑制了学生的求知欲，影响了他们的知识面扩展。(4)忽略书面语和口语的差异。精读课十分重视围绕课文所进行的口语表达的准确性。为表达准确，学生往往要使用课文的语言，其结果是将书面语与口头语混为一体，忽视了语言的得体性。(5)忽略学生能力的发展。在精读课上，教师精讲，学生操炼。教学常常以掌握课文为目的，不重视对学生学习方法的指导，不重视学生独立思考、综合、分析能力的培养和发展。 二、建议 1．课程设置 目前新生入学时已掌握1600个单词并掌握了一定的语法知识，鉴于学生 的听、说、读、写、译能力发展不平衡，建议开设阅读、听力、口语、语法、写作等课程。这些课程分别将各门课程的技能训练作为教学的主要内容，并兼顾其他课程的技能训练，以促进和保证学生听、说、读、写、译五项技能的全面发展。 2．关于阅读课 阅读课旨在提高学生对书面语言的处理和表达能力。为此，一方面要不断扩大学生的词汇量和巩固语法知识；另一方面则要指导学生运用自己已有的阅读母语的技能，进行阅读技能的训练。因此，阅读课应注意以下原则：(1)提供数量为精读教材三倍的语言素材，以创造语言习得的条件。(2)教材的题材和体裁力

As the saying goes, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." A life burdened with work leads you nowhere, for you would get tired and bored with your daily routine work. On the other hand, proper recreation will relieve the tension and discomfort of our monotonous life because it offers you various ways to let out your pent-up emotions. What I usually do to relax after school is jogging and seeing movies. Usually I don't spare time for exercise, but I value the physical education class at school. Jogging several rounds in the field certainly relieves the day's pressure. On weekends, I'll catch the morning movie for my visual enjoyment. I feel revived and energetic for another week's work-load. 大学两分钟英语演讲稿(2) How I Prepare for My Future Career. I decided to be a middle school teacher after college. There are many reasons contribute to this decision. Firstly, when I was a little boy, I have been dreaming of being a teacher. It seemed so fascinate to me and I hope I can make my dream come true. Besides, I like so much to be with middle school students. Most of the
UNIT 1 As we are at the start of the course, this seems a good moment to offer some advice on how to make the task of learning English easier. 课程开始之际，就如何使学习英语的任务更容易提出一些建议似乎正当其时。 Some Strategies for Learning English Learning English is by no means easy. It takes great diligence and prolonged effort. 学习英语绝非易事。它需要刻苦和长期努力。 Nevertheless, while you cannot expect to gain a good command of English without sustained hard work, there are various helpful learning strategies you can employ to make the task easier. Here are some of them. 虽然不经过持续的刻苦努力便不能期望精通英语，然而还是有各种有用的学习策略可以用来使这一任务变得容易一些。以下便是其中的几种。 1. Do not treat all new words in exactly the same way. Have you ever complained about your memory because you find it simply impossible to memorize all the new words you are learning? But, in fact, it is not your memory that is at fault. If you cram your head with too many new words at a time, some of them are bound to be crowded out. What you need to do is to deal with new words in different ways according to how frequently they occur in everyday use. While active words demand constant practice and useful words must be committed to memory, words that do not often occur in everyday situations require just a nodding acquaintance. You will find concentrating on active and useful words the most effective route to enlarging your vocabulary. 1. 不要以完全同样的方式对待所有的生词。你可曾因为简直无法记住所学的所有生词而抱怨自己的记忆力太差？其实，责任并不在你的记忆力。如果你一下子把太多的生词塞进头脑，必定有一些生词会被挤出来。你需要做的是根据生词日常使用的频率以不同的方式对待它们。积极词汇需要经常练习，有用的词汇必须牢记，而在日常情况下不常出现的词只需见到时认识即可。你会发现把注意力集中于积极有用的词上是扩大词汇量最有效的途径。 2. Watch out for idiomatic ways of saying things. Have you ever wondered why we say, "I am interested in English", but "I am good at French"? And have you ever asked yourself why native English speakers say, "learn the news or secret", but "learn of someone's success or arrival"? These are all examples of idiomatic usage. In learning English, you must pay attention not only to the meaning of a word, but also to the way native speakers use it in their daily lives. 2．密切注意地道的表达方式。你可曾纳闷过，为什么我们说“我对英语感兴趣”是“I'm interested in English”，而说“我精于法语”则是“I'm good at French”？你可曾问过自己，为什么以英语为母语的人说“获悉消息或秘密”是“learn the news or secret”，而“获悉某
大学英语作文 写作:The Lost Friendship The Lost Friendship 失去的友谊 Friends are part of people’s life, we can’t live without friends, or we will be isolated from the society. When we have troubles, most people will think of their friends in the first time, for they don’t want the parents know their hard time. While most peole are losing their friends when they don’t know how to keep friendship. 朋友是人们生活的一部分,我们的生活不能没有朋友,不然我们就会孤立于社会。当我们遇到困难时,大多数人会在第一时间想起他们的朋友,因为他们不想让父母知道他们的困难。然而大多数不知道如何保持友谊，因此失去了友谊。 Before I went to high school, I lived in the coutryside, where I made a lot of friends. There was a girl who lived next my house was my best friend, we talked and share about
everything. But when I moved to another city, we had to be aparted, though I promised her that I would write to her as I had the time, I only insisted for about half a year. Then I met new friend and I became lazy, we talked less and less, finally, we lose touch. 在我去上高中之前,我住在乡村,在那里我交了很多朋友。我家隔壁住了一个女孩子，她是我最好的朋友,我们聊天无所不聊，分享着一切。但当我搬到另一个城市,我们必须分开,但是我答应她,我有时间就给她写信,然而我只坚持了半年。然后我认识了新朋友,变得懒惰,我们说话越来越少,最后,我们失去了联系。 Now I have new friends, but I still miss my best friend, our friendship is lossing as our communication stops. No matter how busy we are, we need to keep in touch with our friends, don’t let the time takes away this precious relationship. 现在我有了新的朋友,但我依然想念我最好的朋友,我们的友谊随着交流停止而失去了。无论我们有多忙,我们需要与我们的朋友保持联系,不要让时间带磨灭了这宝贵的关系。

大学英语精读课的教学心得 本学期本人任教一年级大学英语课程，工作中自觉遵守教学规律，贯彻党的教育方针，以身作则，教书育人。关注本学科及相关的学术发展动态，刻苦钻研，努力提高自身业务水平，坚持学习，与同事进行交流合作，积极参加科组教研活动，例如到深圳职业技术学院参观学习，学院第二英语角活动，主动提出意见建议，促进教学教改。关心学院发展与建设，服从工作安排，遵守各规章纪律，保持全勤，参与学院的集体活动。以下是本人的几点教学心得： 我们的学生在中学阶段已经掌握了较系统的语法知识，故目前在教学中重点是提高学生的阅读理解能力，进而培养学生的书面表达能力。据学生反映，他们的难题主要是单词和课文内容。相应的教学方法是： 一、单独讲解单词。如果只是简单地解释词性、意思、词组，然后做翻译练习，不免显得枯燥，而且学生很难整节课都集中注意力，因而达不到良好教学效果。本人采用的方法是尽量地把本课单词有机地串联起来，帮助学生形成一种记忆链条，并且给他们定一个目标：Try to put everything in mind instead of on the notebook！例如，在这个单元中，主要探讨科学的发展及其对我们生活的影响。上课的时候，首先从手机（mobile phone）展开话题，由其体积大小、价格的变化，引出技术发展两个新词：technology，develop，（development），继而是技术发展的动力之一“竞争”（competition），而当今的竞争是激烈的（severe）、“全球性的”（global），创造力（inventiveness）、自创精神（initiative）尤为重要，接下来讨论科技发展（technology development）对我们日常生活的影响或关联（relevance）。到此，让学生尝试用几句话把这些词串连起来：Technology develops at a rapid rate nowadays. Anyway, the rapid development has been brought about by the force of competition, which is severe and global, and needs initiative. Does the development have any relevance to our daily life? Sure. Ten years ago, it was impossible for a student to have a mobile phone. 在讲解完一组相关的词后，让学生做课本的选词填空练习，巩固对单词词义的理解和掌握正确用法。其次，以游戏的方式练习词汇。由一或两名学生背对黑板，教师写上词或词组，全班同学给提示直到他们猜出词语。这样既活跃课堂又使学生有机会练习口头表达能力，也可锻炼当众表演的胆量。例如，dream一词，提示有：something in your mind when you sleep, sometimes it is true, sometimes it is imagination, people may appear, animal may also come into sight, you might be happy, might be frightened, even in horror……大量旧词汇得到复习。 二、课文讲解。由于课是两节或三节连堂，如果按照传统的语言点、加语法、再加句子分析翻译，学生很难完全接受。较可行的方法是分成三部分。第一，先完成整篇的理解性问题，课本的“content question”，让学生了解课文大概。第二，语言点、语法结构讲解，分段落完成。学生们逐段阅读，留一定时间给他们提问，然后就学生忽视的内容个别提问、再总结，形成教与学的互动，促使学生思考。第三，完成第一、第二阶段的教学后，再分析整篇文章的结构，每部分的main ideas，总结全文观点。让学生练习表达能力。同时回顾一些重要的细节或段落、句子，构成完整的篇章学习。部份故事性趣味性强的文章，采用分组表演，促进学生团对合作。很受欢迎。 三、课后练习：时间充裕的话，可让学生在课堂完成，再评讲，或者布置为家庭作业，课堂评讲。这也可作为语法、语言点的练习与复习。尽量运用本单元新学的知识，再与先前所掌握的作比较。 四、随堂测验。每讲完一小单元，如单词、语法或语言点之后，用十分钟左右进行随堂测验，可用口头或书面形式。可深化学生的记忆，达到良好的教学效果。 五、作业批改。学生首先关注的是分数，往往忽视错误部分，故批改时只圈出错的地方，学生自己改正后再上交，然后针对个别辅导。真正巩固知识。 以上是本人的教学心得。在今后的工作中，本人将继续努力，不断提高教学水平，高质量完成教学任务。
