Clinton:Hi. Bush.How have you been? How’s your test going? Bush:Well.It's a long story. I’m trying, but for me,English seems to be a life-long pain. Clinton:Would you mind telling me more about it? Maybe I can help. Bush:I’ve been learning English for quite a long time.But spoken English is still a headache for me.How long will it take if I want to improve my oral English? Clinton:That’s an interesting question.It all depends on the extent of your contribution and the way of learning. Bush:I’m eager to hear your opinions.Can you be more specific? Clinton:Some people seem to think learning English is practicing grammar rules and learning lists of words.That's wrong.Language is for the exchange of ideas, for communication. Bush:Wow! That's brilliant. Do you believe that’s the way learning English should be? Clinton:Definitely! The way to learn English is to practice speaking it as often as possible. Bush: Yes, I see. I’m very grateful to you for these useful points. Clinton: It’s my pleasure. Good luck on your further studies. Clinton:嗨,Bush。最近怎样?考试考得怎么样? Bush:哎,一言难尽。对我来说,英语一直是个痛。 Bush:我英语学了好长时间了,但口语一直是我头痛的问题。如果我想提高口语得花多长时间? Clinton:这个问题很好。那要取决于你所付出努力的程度和方法。 Clinton:有些人认为学习英语就是练习语法和背单词。错!语言用来交流的。 Clinton:毫无疑问!学习一门语言的方法就是尽量多地练习去说。 |
