(一)Americans talk a lot about illegal immigration but not as much about legal immigration.Legal immigrants who want to become citizens must learn English and show a knowledge of American history and government.They must also pay a fee and meet other requirements.Immigrants may take what are called citizenship classes to help them prepare for the naturalization test.Last year, thirteen groups received a total of just over one million dollars from the government to offer these classes.This year, that support has grown to almost eight million dollars, and the money is going to seventy-five organizations across the country.And now, starting in October, many classes will be offered free of charge.This will happen through a program supported by United States Citizenship and Immigration Services.Alejandro Mayorkas is the agency's director.ALEJANDRO MAYORKAS: “We hope to make it an easier transition for people to realize their aspirations of becoming U.S.citizens.”
Elsy Ventura from El Salvador enrolled in a one-hundred-dollar class near Washington.She says that is a lot to pay as a single mother also supporting her own mother, who lives with her.But her goal is to become an American.ELSY VENTURA: “I want to have rights as anybody else in this country.”
Other immigrants share that goal.But for some young people, hopes of citizenship were recently blocked in Congress for the fifth time in ten years.The United States has an estimated eleven million illegal immigrants.About two million of them arrived as children brought by their parents.A measure known as the Dream Act would put these children of undocumented immigrants on a path toward citizenship instead of possible expulsion.In return, they would have to show “good moral character” and graduate from high school.They would also have to complete two years of college or serve in the military.UNDOCUMENTED STUDENT: “I grew up in the United States, ever since I was six years old, and it's the custom here and the culture I have grown to love.”
(SOUND: Protesters shouting “Dream Act Now!”)
“Dream” is short for Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors.Some conservatives say it could increase illegal border crossings at a time when many Americans want stronger controls.But the idea gained support among conservatives and liberals, the military and education leaders.Still, the measure died this month in the Senate, where it was tied to a bill to let gays serve openly in the military.Political observers do not expect Congress to consider the Dream Act again before
congressional elections in November.But they do expect supporters to keep trying in the future.And that's the VOA Special English Education Report.Our reports are online at.I'm Steve Ember.(二)
I'm Susan Clark?with the Special English program WORDS AND THEIR STORIES.Young Mister Smith had an idea for his employer.It was an idea for saving money for the company by increasing prices.At the same time, Smith suggested that the company sell goods of less value.If his employer liked the idea, Smith might be given more pay.Perhaps he might even get a better job with the company.Business had been very slow.So Mister Smith's employer thought a few minutes about the idea.But then she shook her head.“I am sorry, Smith,” his employer said.“It just will not wash.”
Now, the meaning of these English words should be, “It will not get clean.” Yet Smith's idea did not have anything to do with making something clean.So why did his employer say, “It will not wash?”
Most word experts agree that “it will not wash” means it will not work.Eric Partridge wrote that the saying probably developed in Britain in the eighteen hundreds.Charlotte Bronte used it in a story published in eighteen forty-nine.She wrote, “That wiln't wash, miss.” Mizz Bronte seems to have meant that the dyes used to color a piece of clothing were not good.The colors could not be depended on to stay in the material.In nineteenth century England, the expression came to mean an undependable statement.It was used mainly to describe an idea.But sometimes it was used about a person.A critic once said of the poet Robert Browning, “He won't wash.” The critic did not mean that the poet was not a clean person.He meant that Browning's poems could not be depended on to last.Today, we know that judgment was wrong.Robert Browning still is considered a major poet.But very few people remember the man who said Browning would not wash.Happily for the young employee Smith, his employer wanted him to do well in the company.So the employer “talked turkey” to him.She said, “Your idea would be unfair to our buyers.Think of another way to save money.”
A century ago, to talk turkey meant to talk pleasantly.Turkeys in the barnyard were thought to be speaking pleasantly to one another.In recent years, the saying has come to mean an attempt to teach something important.Word expert Charles Funk tells how he believes this change took place.He says two men were shooting turkeys together.One of them was a white man.The other was an American Indian.The white man began stating reasons why he should get all the turkeys for himself.But the American Indian stopped him.He told the white man, “Now, I talk turkey to you.”
Mister Smith thought of a better idea after his employer talked turkey to him.He was given an increase in pay.So if your idea “will not wash,” try “talking turkey” to yourself and come up with a better idea.(三)
Car crashes are the top killer of American teenagers.Most of the crashes result from distracted driving--not paying attention to the road.Ryan Didone was a fifteen-year-old passenger in a car that hit a tree.He was one of the nation's more than thirty thousand victims of traffic crashes in two thousand eight.Nearly four thousand deaths, about twelve percent, involved drivers age fifteen to twenty.Ryan's father, Thomas Didone, is a police captain in Montgomery County, Maryland.THOMAS DIDONE: “It was an inexperienced, immature driver who felt that he was invincible, driving at night with a carload of kids.He was distracted, he was going too fast, and it ended up causing one death and some serious trauma and tragedy for the rest of the community.”
Jim Jennings from the Allstate Insurance Company says the number one cause of
distracted-driving accidents is the mobile phone.He says talking on the phone or reaching for it is like drinking four beers and driving.JIM JENNINGS: “If you're texting while driving, you are twenty-three times more likely to get into an accident than somebody who isn't.Reaching for a cell phone when it's going off, you're nine times more likely to get into an accident than normally driving.”
Government and private groups are using public service announcements and events to bring more attention to the problem.For example, the insurance industry recently held a safety event near Washington for teen drivers.At first, nineteen-year-old Kevin Schumann easily avoided large, inflatable dolls thrown in front of the car to represent children.He also avoided orange cones representing the edge of the road.Then, as part of the test, he started texting.He hit several cones and at least one doll.KEVIN SCHUMANN: “That's what really opened up the experience for me, to prove how bad it is to really text and drive.”
Debbie Pickford of Allstate Insurance says teens are especially at risk from distracted driving--and not just because they lack experience on the roads.DEBBIE PICKFORD: “What we know from research on teen brain development, is that teens don't really have fully developed brains until they're twenty-five years old.You put those two things together and you get a much, much higher risk.”
New legislation in Congress proposes to require all states to have what is called a graduated driver licensing system.Graduated means teenagers start with restrictions like on night driving and numbers of passengers.They could not get a full driver's license until age eighteen.Thomas Didone shares the story of his son's death to help educate teens and their families about distracted driving.THOMAS DIDONE: “We have to start doing things that are going to make a difference to change this behavior, because I really don't want to hear about four thousand more kids dying next year.”
And that's the VOA Special English Education Report.You can watch a video of this report by Julie Taboh at tingvoa.com.I'm Steve Ember.(四)
Now, the VOA Special English program WORDS AND THEIR STORIES.Every people has its own way of saying things, its own special expressions.Some of these expressions are easy to understand.The words create a picture in your mind.“As easy as falling off a log” is one such expression.It describes a job that does not take much effort.If you ever tried to walk on a fallen tree log, you understand what the expression means.It is easier to fall off the log than to stay on it.The expression is often used today.For example, you might hear a student say to her friend that her spelling test was “as easy as falling off a log.”
There are several other expressions that mean the same thing.And their meaning is as easy to understand as “falling off a log.” One is, “easy as pie”.Nothing is easier than eating a piece of sweet, juicy pie.Unless it is a “piece of cake.”
“Piece of cake” is another expression that means something is extremely easy to do.A friend might tell you that his new job was a “piece of cake.”
Another expression is “as easy as shooting fish in a barrel.”
It is hard to imagine why anyone would want to shoot fish in a barrel.But, clearly, fish in a barrel would be much easier to shoot than fish in a stream.In fact, it would be as easy as “falling off a log.”
Sometimes, things that come to us easily, also leave us just as easily.In fact, there is an expression – “easy come, easy go” – that recognizes this.You may win a lot of money in a lottery, then spend it all in a few days.Easy come, easy go.When life itself is easy, when you have no cares or problems, you are on “Easy Street.” Everyone wants to live on that imaginary street.Another “easy” expression is to “go easy on a person”.It means to treat a person kindly or gently, especially in a situation where you might be expected to be angry with him.A wife might urge her husband to “go easy on” their son, because the boy did not mean to wreck the car.If it is necessary to borrow some money to fix the car, you should look for a friend who is an “easy touch”.An “easy touch” or a “soft touch” is someone who is kind and helpful.He would easily agree to lend you the money.And one last expression, one that means do not worry or work too hard.Try to keep away from difficult situations.“Take it easy” until we meet again.You have been listening to the VOA Special English program WORDS AND THEIR STORIES.I'm Bob Doughty

第四篇:关于“英语”
关于“英语”
当英语不再成为你人生的“必修课”,你还能熟练地运用吗?
上个月还没到暑假,在一英语培训学校当老师的表妹就嚷嚷着忙、忙、忙,忙得连休息的时间也少了。原来,快暑假了,加上宣传的效果,她所在的英语培训学校的报名人数空前增加,来报名的人从幼儿园到高中参差不齐,而小学和初中阶段的人数居多。家长把孩子送来培训,就是想让孩子赢在起跑线上。有的是为了将来孩子高考打下基础,有的是为了英语能成为孩子的第二口语,更有的是为了孩子成为全能的“神童”,英语只是他的其中一项而已。总之,现下英语成为家长谈论最多的一个话题。
而前两天,晚上下班回来照例登录QQ,打开QQ空间浏览。朋友们的动态姿态万千,其中有一同学的“说说”更新为“Never say goodbay”,我心想,这家伙,读书时英语四级都已经过了,还差几分考过六级,怎么现在犯了“goodbay”这样的低级错误?于是在评论中给她更正为“goodbey”,可是,凭直觉,这肯定也不对。上网百度,原来是“goodbye”。如此简单的一个单词,却让我们频频出错。
读大学前,我们天天背单词,练语法,读课文,每次临考前,更是通宵达旦地复习。后来,上大学了,以为再也不用像以前那样辛苦地背书了,没想到,四、六级来了,我们向师兄师姐们“取经”,开始“Crazy English”,只为以后找工作多点路子,可是直到毕业,仍然有很多同学没有考过。而很多考过的同学,也并没有从事英语方面的工作,到如今,毕业三年了,却连“goodbye”都写错,果然是跟英语“Say goodbye”了。
到底,我们是从何时开始遗忘常伴读书时代的英语的?是工作后?还是早在大学时就已经开始?是自从放下高考的心理包伏时,我们就已经开始懒惰了。为庆祝远离高考,我们整天地呼朋唤友,睡觉打游戏。大学开学后,刚开始还为这新校园、新环境安份守已,认真上课,时间一长,便开始“忙碌”了,忙着翘课、忙着兼职、忙着谈恋爱,忙着享受这“天堂”里的一切美好生活。我们何时会安下心来背过大学里学的新单词?“Crazy English”只是为不补考、能毕业而出现的短暂现象罢了。
是的,我们的生活不再需要英语,远离了英语。书写生疏了,口语更是生疏了。父母从小给我们关于英语方面的投入,最终算是白费了。
其实,只要我们愿意,英语还是可以为我们所用的。所谓干一行,爱一行,我们没有时间和精力去学习其他行业的英语,但是,我们可以学习研究自己行业的专业英语,让自己在本行业更加地出色。只要我们对英语“不放弃,不抛弃”,便可熟练运用。
第五篇:英语如何学
英语如何学?名家如是说!
林语堂
近年国内学英语风气甚盛 ,无论在中学,在大学,或在自修,多少莘莘学子都在用功夫,日求进益,我想据我个人的经验,谈谈这个中的关系。
四十年前我在德国,听过柏林大学教出来的操华语的德国人,听起来象在北京长大的,但他们都是成年以后才学的;同时我在上海所见到的留过学的中学英文教员,文法冼练极了,分析词句精透了,而说出英文,毫不地道。
有人以为目标在了解阅读,不在口讲,这是把问题看错了,学习英文的目标,只在清顺自然四字而已。凡不以口语为基础的人,一定写不出平易自然,纯熟地道的英文。前英国首相丘吉尔可算英文大家,他有名的句子:We shall fight on the hills.We shall fight in the streets.We shall fight blood and sweat and tears。这是多么矫健的句子!何尝有一个不是小学生所能用的字?又何尝有一字夸词浮句?中国人写英文,寻章摘句,多用深句,所以才学不好。例如对人十分佩服,你说I admire him profoundly。便是古人做文章的做法,因为英美人士并不这样讲,用admire greatly才是自然,而用I take off my hat to him.才是真正地道的英文。
你要明白英语言文一致,而骨子里是白话.愈平易自然愈好,愈少粉饰藻丽语句愈好,愈近清顺口语愈好,愈能念出来顺口成章愈好。中国人写英文,能写到这个地步的就不多,你写出来,外国人念下去象外国人写,就不容易,所以难能可贵,就在这一点.中国人要写英文,必先淘汰古人“做文章“的观念,才能打稳正当的英文基础.因此我们必须以口语入手 ,才能掌握个中窍门。
大家要注意常用字及口语的用法;英文那个“有“字,当然有have,而口语却是have got(Have you got any money?)老外这样说,我们只好这样写!Forget about it(算了)!也是一种口语.You are telling me(我还得等你说)?也是一种口语.Not a chance(绝不会)也是一种口语。这四个单字got, forget, tell, chance都是极平常的字,而运用在口语中,却是学好英文的最重要的部分!若是单求长字,生字,看起来文雅好听的僻字,头一步便走错了.所以说善于灵活运用平常的字,是学习英文的不二法门。
陆谷孙
压力与兴趣:英语学习需要有 pressure与 pleasure的结合。今日的英语教学中,接踵而来的考试和枯燥无味的课堂教学窒息了同学们活泼的求知欲和学习兴趣。学生应试技能一般较强,而口语表达技能相对薄弱,要翻个个儿,教师要使英语成为学生生活中须臾不可或缺的有趣事物,每堂课要在连续大脑轰击(brainstorming)的同时,使学生开怀大笑几次。
“输入”与“输出”:保持两者大致相当的比例,譬如说“输入”一百万字的阅读量,最好保持一万字的写作“输出量”。写完最好找高手修改,且不断温习修改意见。
模仿与对比:说英语要说得字正腔圆,只有亿万次的模仿;要减少母语干扰,对比最重要,譬如说对比出英语的动词时态意识、与汉语迥异的数字意识等。
薄冰
如果我是一个初学英语的小学生,我将多看故事多看画,多听句子多唱歌。语法我不学,完全靠模仿。
如果我是一个初学英语的中学生,我将把好的课文念得正确、流利、烂熟,睡梦中会说出来,作文中会用出来。我还要读课外读物,并用简单的英语向我的同学复述故事的内容。我将学一点基本语法知识,以加强学习的自觉性,但绝不去钻牛角尖。
如果我是一个初学英语的青年,我将尽量结合英语实践(读、听、写、说)先把语法学好。就象查词典一样,我将经常查阅语法书。等我把基本语法掌握后,我将展开大量的英语实践,在实践中通过思考与总结解决疑难问题。同时,我将充分地利用好的词典、参考书,包括较高深的语法著作。
黄源深
大量阅读对英语学习至关重要,没有大量阅读很难学好英语。现今学生的一个通病是阅读量太小,拘泥于短文章上的“精耕细作”,产生不了语感,因而口笔语都缺少外国味。多读文学作品和外国报刊不失为一剂良药。
写作最能使人感到英语学习上的不足,最能提高对语言的敏感性和吸收能力。好的作文是(学生)写出来的,不是(老师)改出来的,多写才能出文章。写作在开始时往往是苦事,一不坚持就会放弃,因而需要毅力。写作应辅以大量阅读,写作中出现的错误能通过阅读自我纠正。
英美人都反对背词典,因为对说本族语的人来说,良好的语言环境和大量的阅读足以使英语词汇得到多次重复,直到被掌握。而我国的英语学习者情况就不同了,生活在汉语语言环境里,英语的阅读量往往不足,难以在自然的语境中通过重复掌握该掌握的全部词汇。因此中国学生的词汇量往往偏小,对听、说、读、写造成很大障碍。我主张有一定基础的学生(如大三学生)或教师不妨背一背词典,细水长流,不要贪多,贵在坚持。背的同时要不忘阅读,使背过的词汇在阅读中得以巩固。掌握的词汇一多,学习者便有豁然开朗的感觉。
姚乃强
我认为学好英语各人应根据客观条件,学习目的和本人情况,依照语言学习的规律,探索适合自己的学习方法,对他人的经验,要学习、要借鉴,但不迷信、不盲从,提倡因人而异,各自为战。
我学习和从教英语四十多年,我的体会是在不同的阶段,采用不同的方法,初学者主要打好语言基础,熟练掌握读、听、说、写、译的技能。我把这个阶段的学习要领归结为:先死后活,死去活来。“死”指多模仿、多练习,后达到熟能生巧,灵活运用。
有了一定的基础后,要强调多读多写,读和写都要精泛结合,不仅要读文学名著,也要读其它类的书,以及报纸杂志。要强迫自己写,写日记、写读书心得、写短文。我的口号是:眼
快手勤,翻烂一本词典,磨出手指老茧。
到了更高的层次,比如说英语专业高年级学生,要加强思维能力、创新能力、科研能力的培养。要根据自己的兴趣和未来工作的要求,明确自己在专业上的主攻方向。要扩大知识面,做到博学多闻、博览群书、博中有专。从写学士论文开始,就要选好题,日积月累,逐渐使自己成为某一领域里的“行家里手”。这时也就可以说学有所成了。
回过头来,要与大家共勉的还是一句话:业精于勤荒于嬉。愿大家创造出适合自己的学习方法,学有所成。
许国璋
学英语就要无法无天,要天不怕地不怕。
学外语,要眼尖,耳明,嘴勤,手快。只要多读,多记,多讲,多写,自有水到渠成之日。
学习外语,从事语言学研究的人不要把自己圈在只读洋文的狭小天地里,一定要具备良好的国学基础。
光学几句干巴巴的英文不行....不要总是把阅读的目的放在提高英文上,阅读首先是吸收知识,吸收知识的过程中自然而然就吸收了语言。
