Our expert today is Sally Parker, who is a teacher. Hi Sally.S: Hello.P: Sally, our first question today is from Andy.

10、He says,ve just started“leIarning English. Myproblem is that I m too frightened to speak. My grammar is not very good, so Im worried aboutsaying the wrong thing.” Have you got any advice for Andy?S: OK. Well, the first thing is I think Andy should practice speaking to himself. P: Speaking to himself

11、? I m not sure that s a good idea.S: I know it sounds silly, but talking to yourself in a foreign language is a really good way topractice. You don t have to feel embarrassed, because nobody can hear you. You can talk to yourselfabout anything you likewhat you had for breakfast, where you re going f

12、or the weekend anything. And the more you do it, the moreyou willget used to hearing your own voice and your pronunciation, so you won t feel so frightened in the classroom. Andy should try it.P: Hm, I suppose so. Anything else? What about his grammar?S: He has only just started learning English, so

13、 he is going to make lots of mistakes, but that s not a problem. That s how he ll learn. Andy shouldn t worry about making mistakes.P: You re right. So Andy, try talking to yourself, and don t worry about making mistakes. Our next problem comes from Oliviain Brazil. She is worried about pronunciatio

14、n. She says, “ The problem is I can t understand native speakers. They speak so fast and I can t understand their pronunciation.” So Sally, any ideas for Olivia?S: Well, first of all it s a good idea for her to practice her listening skills. She should listen to English as much as possible to get us

15、ed to how it sounds. Listen to the news, listen to podcasts, (and) watch English television.P: OK thats a good idea.S: And another thing she should do is to focus on listening and reading at the same time. If you listen to something on the Internet, you can often read the transcript. If you listen a

16、nd read at the same time, it ll help you see what the words sound like and how the words sound when a native speaker is talking.P: Great. Thank you, Sally. Well, huh, I mafraid that sall we have time for today, but nextweekwe ll beViewing ScriptsN = Narrator; I = Ian Deary; W1 = Woman 1, etc.; M1 =

17、Man 1, etc.N: Recent research into the history of IQ tests in Scotland suggests your IQ score might predict, to an extent at least, your health and even your life expectancy.W1: You have 45 minutes to do the test, OK? M1: OK.N: Bill and Davina are 79 years old. This is the second time theyve done th

18、is test. The firsttime was in 1932, when every 11-year-old in Scotland was put through an intelligence test. Its the only time thiskindof mass testing has ever been done in the UK.The results were rediscovered recently in an Edinburgh basement. If you want to know how our intelligence changes as we

19、get older, these results are a potential goldmine.I: We brought hundreds of people back and we got them to sit the exact same test that they had sat when they were aged 11. Now, these people are now 79 or 80 years old. We gave the same instructions. We gave the same test. And we gave the same time l

20、imit.M2: It was a little stickier than I thought it would be. M3: I walked through it quite happily, quite honestly.W2: I felt I must have been very bright at 11 if I sat that exam and passed.N: There were some intriguing results. Almost everyone had a better score at 80 than they did at11. But some

21、 had gone from being just averagely intelligent to a much higher level.I: Now, that swhat really drives our research. We re interested in: Why have those people who ve gone (people gone) from IQ 100, at age 11, up to 110 or 120? What have they done right? What can be the recipe for successful aging?

22、 We re finding that the person with more education, even though they had the same IQ in childhood, is doing slightly better in old age, on average. The person who had a more professional job, in old age, is doing slightly better on average than the person who had a manual job, despite the fact that

23、they started at the same level. The people who smoked have got slightly less good mental ability than you would expect.N: What s even more remarkable is that the kids who had higher IQ scores at 11 are the very ones still alive today. So it seems high IQ in childhood is good for survival.Speaking fo

24、r communication Role-playScriptsA: Ah, OK, so we need to think of the best ideas for taking tests. B: Yep.A: Er, well, how about this one? Its a good idea to study with friends at the same time each day. B: Mm, in my opinion, this is a really good idea. You can make it a regular part of your daily l

25、ife.A: You mean like having breakfast at the same time, lunch at the same time, studying at the same time.B: Yes. And also I think it helps when you study with friends.A: Yeah, I, I think it s more motivating.B: And you can actually talk to someone, not just look at books. I find that if I m only re

26、adingmy notes it s easy to lose concentration. I start thinking about other things. But when you are talking to someone, it really helps you concentrate. So, yes, I agree with this one.A: OK. Another idea is not to eat too much before the exam. B: Oh, really?A: Mm, when I eat a lot, I get sleepy.B:

27、Oh, I see. I think it depends. Because if you dont eat enough, you start to feel hungry in the middle of the exam.A: Mm, that s true.B: And then you can t concentrate. A: Yeah, that s true.B: So, I m not sure about this advice, for me. As I said, I think it depends. I always try to eat a good meal b

28、efore an exam. I m so nervous that I never get sleepy.A: Hm. OK. What other ideas do you have?B: Well, there s one thing I always do before an exam. A: What s that?B: I go to bed early the night before. A: Right.B: I always try to sleep for eight hours the night before the exam.Further practice in l

I had never got a grade better than C for any of my term papers before they helped me out.Q: What can we le

30、arn from the conversation?Conversation 2M: You said you would choose Spanish as your second foreign language. Why did you finally choose French instead?W: Mygrandfather speaks fluent French and he says that French is a language that any truly cultured person must know.Q: Why does the woman choose to

31、 learn French?Conversation 3W: You seem to have no problem understanding native speakers now. How about Dr. Brown s speech last night?M: Excellent. But it was still too fast for me to follow, especially when Dr. Brown talked about those abstract theories.Q: What did the man do last night?Conversatio

32、n 4M: It seems to me that Melissa is in a bad mood today. What s wrong with her?W: Melissa forgot to bring her identification card yesterday and she was not allowed to enter the contest. You know she had prepared for the contest for months.Q: What made Melissa unhappy?Conversation 5W: I think my tim

33、e at school is wasted because it is just studying books and doing tests.M:But you also learn new ideas and new ways of thinking.And more importantlyyou meet people and develop your understanding of people at school.Q: What does the man think of the woman s opinion?Long conversation ScriptsM: Miranda

34、, let s speak about your performance in class. You re not participating; you re careless with your assignments and often hand them in late. You don t want to be here, do you?W: I m sorry Dr. Smith. Its justvIe got lots of things to do. Im studying Web designandI m a first-class player on our golf te

35、am. Its hard to see why I need to take a Spanish language class!M:Well,I m sorryyou feelthat way, butlearninganother language can improveyour performance in all of your efforts. And it can be very useful sometimes, for instance, when youvisit your father in Mexico.W: Gosh! What do you mean, professo

36、r? Just because my father does business in Mexico I m supposed to learn Spanish on top of everything else I have to learn? Its just too much! And if I dont spend enough time on the golf course, I won t remain a first-class player on the golf team.I still don t see why I should learn a language that

37、s so hard for me. There are no verb tenses on the golf course or in Web design!M: Listen Miranda, I ve known your father since we were students at university 20 yearsago and have known you since you were a little girl. Of course, there are no verb tenses in golf or Web design. But I am giving you go

38、od advice. Please listen.W: Yes, of course, you re like my favorite uncle.M: Your brain isn t like a cup that has water flowing over its edge when it is full. Instead, it s likea muscle. Learning Spanish exercises your brain in new ways, making it stronger. It will strengthen your critical thinking

39、skills and creativity.W: Really?! Then I guess I can give it a try.Passage 1 ScriptsI began learning Spanish when I was in high school, using a traditionalacademic method ofstudying verbs, sentence structures, and grammar by using textbooks and not much else. I found it very easy to learn, but was f

40、rustrated with the slow pace and repetitive nature of all my Spanish classes. So I worked extra hard in my spare time and asked my teacher if I could skip a level by the end of the semester.This was unsuccessful, however, because the school was notwillingto test me or otherwiseprove that I could be

41、successful in the top level after skipping a level. This made things even more frustrating, as then I was stuck in a class where I already knew the material!Then I went on to college where I then used the language extensively both in and out of theclassroom. I studied Spanish literature, culture, an

42、d linguistics and very much enjoyed the cultural and linguistic elements, but found the in-depth study of literature a very unbalanced way to study Spanish.I got a lot out of using my Spanish outside of the classroom, including a trip to Mexico with a church group, where I found myself acting as an

43、interpreter. It was certainly challenging, but it was also a lot of fun.I then also volunteered to be an interpreter in the community schools and also used my Spanishto teach English to some Spanish speakers. This is probably where I learned the most!Q1: What do we know about the speaker s Spanish l

44、earning experience in high school? Q2: What made the speaker feel frustrated while leaning Spanish in high school?Q3: What did the speaker say about her study of Spanish literature in college? Q4: Which experience benefited the speaker most in terms of her use of Spanish?Passage 2Scripts and answers
