15、hinese university market. These are in the 47 of text books and online web classes. My university paid for me to learn standard Chinese. I learned the 48 first and found that hearing the 49 between the four tones was not quite as difficult as I imagined. 50 , I have huge problems with some of the in
16、dividual sounds especially as it is included in the Chinese phonetic alphabet. It is 51 a bit like in English.

23、 part of your English education. To become proficient(精通的) in English you have to take responsibility and be active in acquiring it. How well you succeed is really up to you. Treat English more like an art than a science. Many people study English as if it were a math or science. They often feel the
24、y are trying to solve a problem. Yes, you can study rules, but there are often more exceptions to the rules than there are rules. This doesnt mean you should try to remember them one by one. Language is living. It breathes, it moves, it grows, and it changes. You have to learn to live it, and to fee
25、l it in your soul. You have to make it your own. It has to become part of you. It has to feel natural. _ Most people immediately go to their electronic dictionaries when they come across something new. Dont do it! Try this, instead: try to understand the new word or phrase from the context. The word
26、s and ideas around the new word should help you make a good guess. If you still dont understand, ask someone to explain what it means in English or use an EnglishEnglish dictionary. I remember using a paper EnglishEnglish dictionary. Many teachers have noticed that their students remember words much
27、 longer when they are forced to search for them in the dictionary. Also, dictionaries in book form generally give more detailed examples than electronic dictionaries. Keep a list of new words and phrases in your notes. Make your own vocabulary lists and review them often. Write sentences to help you
28、 remember what they mean. Use these new words and phrases in conversations and compositions whenever you have a chance. The more you use the words, the more they become your own.66.

32、the difficulty of learning EnglishB Language experts say that spoken English was almost the same in the American colonies and Britain two hundred years ago. Americans began to change the sound of their speech after the Revolutionary War in 1776. They wanted to make it different to separate themselve
33、s from the British in language, in the same way they separated themselves from the British government. Some American leaders proposed major changes in the language. Benjamin Franklin wanted a whole new system of spelling. His reforms were not accepted. But his ideas did influence others. One was Noa
34、h Webster. Webster wrote language books for schools. He believed the United States should have a system of its own language as well as government. Webster published a dictionary of the American language in 1828. It established rules for speaking and spelling the words used in American English. Webst
35、er wrote that all words should be said in the order of the letters that spell them. This is why Americans use the letters er to end many words instead of the British re. He spelled the word center, for example, center instead of the British centre. Websters rule for saying every part of a word made
36、American English easier for foreign settlers to learn. They learned to say waistcoat, for example, the way it is spelled instead of the British weskit. The different languages of many people who came to the United States also helped make American and British English different. Many of their foreign
37、words and expressions became part of English as Americans speak them. Sometimes Americans and British people do not understand each other because of different word meanings. For example, the word jumper in Britain means a sweater. In the United States, it is a dress. The British word brolly is an um
38、brella in America. And the British call potato chips crisps.

43、ehension and critical thinking strategies.

Each lesson builds on skills and ideas discussed in the previous chapters. As

45、e book, take the posttest to see how much youve improved. The text is divided into four sections, each focusing on a different group of related reading and thinking strategies.

Britain is made up of different countries (England, Scotland, Northe
53、rn Ireland and Wales) and large quantities of different regions that all have their very own and very different traditions, dialects and even languages.

54、used to small spaces. The U.S. is not only a huge country but we are used to bigger cars, houses and spaces. Like all European nations, Britain does not have the luxury of space. Houses, apartments, cars and appliances are all small, so become familiar with small areas. Go to the pub. The pub is a v
55、ery important part of British culture and nothing will appeal to you more than a cup of beer. Students, work colleagues, friends and family all meet in the pub and it is used as a focus(焦点) of social contact. Accept the jokes. One of the most confusing aspects of British culture is humor.
