Soap boxes were a simple, easy way to make yourself taller if you wanted to give a public speech. Such soapb

2、ox speeches usually were political and one-sided. The speakers shouted their ideas to anyone who walked by. Many talked for hours refusing to get off their soap boxes.Today, you dont need a wooden box to make a soapbox speech. Anyone, anywhere, who talks endlessly about a cause is said to be on a so

I think the most important thing is to be understood easily. For most learners, its not necessary or desi

5、rable to speak like a native speaker. For some learners, for example, those who eventually want to teach English, or be interpreters perhaps, a native-speaker pronunciation is the ultimate goal. At least, thats what I think. Children often do not want to speak English with a native-speaker pronuncia

6、tion. Why not? In general, children are splendid mimics and imitate strange sounds very easily and well. However, it is true that most children do not want to sound English when they are speaking English. This may be partly due to shyness but I think the main reason is that most children want to bel

7、ong to a groupthey dress alike, listen to the same music, share the same opinions and hobbies. Even if a child can speak English like a native speaker, he or she will usually choose not tounless, of course, the rest of the group speaks with a native-speaker pronunciation too. What is the main reason

8、 why adults find pronunciation difficult? Numerous reasons have been offered for the difficulties which many adults find with pronunciation and, no doubt, there is some truth in all of these. It seems to be the case that children are better mimics than adults. But if an adult really wants to achieve

9、 a native-speaker pronunciation, then he or she can. It is NOT the students own language that prevents him or her from achieving a native-speaker pronunciation in English. It is the fact that the adult student has a strong sense of national identity. In other words, he or she wants to be identified

10、as a German or Brazilian speaking English. In my opinion, this sense of national identity is more important than other explanations, such as the greater anxiety of adults or the effect of their own language habits. 1 C 2 A 3D1. be understood easily2. necessary, desirable3. splendid4. prevent, from a

She has a show on radio through which she answers questions from parents about how to raise their children to be bilingual.）Dr.Mallard: Hello, sir. You are on air.John: Oh, hello. Dr.Mallard? Yes, How may I help

12、you? Dr.Mallard, my name is John. My wife Maria and I just had our first baby girl. Congratulations, John. You must be very excited. Yes, we are indeed. Here is why I called. Maria is from Peru, and speaks fluent Spanish and fairly good English, depending on the situation. I am a native English spea

13、ker and I also speak almost fluent Spanish. We live in the U.S and communicate in Spanish at home 95% of the time. I see. Please go on. My question is this: how should we communicate in order to ensure the bilingual successof our child? OK. From what you told me I guess you and your wife have alread

14、y started using mostly Spanish with your newborn girl. Is that correct? Yes. I think using Spanish with her just feels kind of natural to both of us. That is fine, because language uses within a family should be natural: we use the languages to build a family relationship, not to “teach” the languag

15、es. But is it reasonable to assume that our baby will be exposed to enough English in the world outside our house and therefore it will be OK for us to speak to her almost solely in Spanish? Well, in my opinion, yes. And I also believe that your baby will have a lot of exposure to English at home as

16、 well. She will listen to not only music and talk on the TV, but also relative and friends who are visiting or telephoning. Besides, she may also have English input from you yourself: for example, you may want to sing to her the English-language nursery rhymes that you remember from your own childho

18、specialist. His book, Learning a Language over Eggs and Toast is on the best seller list. Welcome.Dr. Adams: Thank you. Tell us about the title of your book. First, it is important to establish a regular study program, like planning a few minutes every morning around breakfast time .Talk show host :

19、 But, I took Spanish for four years and I didnt become a proficient speaker of it. Well , we can become fluent speakers in a matter of a few minutes here and there. We should follow a regular course of study and remember that there is a difference between native fluency and proficiency in a language

20、. I propose the latter. What are the basic keys you suggest ?Dr.Adams: People must organize their study by setting realistic and attainable goals Some people think they can learn the language in 30 days and become discouraged when they cant. Small steps are the key. Learning five new words a day and

21、 learning to use them actively is far better than learning 30 and forgetting them the next day. Um-hum. You mentioned individual learning styles. Can you explain what you mean by learning style? Sure .People have different ways of learning .Some are visual learners who prefer to see models of the pa
