7、pt:1. A:When I read in English, I always want to understand every single word and so I spend a lot of time looking words up in my dictionary. This makes reading difficult for me because by the time Ive looked up the word in my dictionary, Ive forgotten what the rest of the sentence was about. Thats
8、my trouble really I rely too much on my dictionary.B:Well, why dont you try to read a text without using your dictionary the first time you read it? Youll probably be able to understand most of it and guess what some of the words mean.2. A:I have to read a lot of books and articles in English for my
9、 work Im a consultant in business management. What I find most difficult is finding the main point in an article or a paragraph. I always try to take notes when Im reading and so sometimes I find that Im almost copying out the whole article because I cant decide what the really important points are.
10、It might help if you read through the book or article very quickly first just to get an idea of what its about. I think its difficult to read something for the first time and take notes as well.3. A:I like reading novels and short stories in my own language and in English, but theres one thing I fin
11、d very difficult in English. Im never quite sure if the writer is being serious or not. Several times Ive read something I thought was serious and later Ive found out it was supposed to be funny.I have exactly the same problem. I suppose the only thing to do is to read as much as possible. Then one

Do you think I can train myself to read quickly and at the same time understand what Im reading?Well, there are special courses in
13、speed reading, I think. But you could probably help yourself if you set yourself a time limit and try to read as much as you can within the time. Ive done that and its helped me a lot.Part II The teacher I remember best (5 minutes to organize your own words.)Did you remember the best teacher in your
14、 memory? Describe his class or personality.Section AEndeavor: make an effort to Keys:1. The French teacher2. For five years3. 13 years4. French and German5. Grammar and vocabulary6. Video and cassettes7. Conversation class8. Visit France(Part I)Yes, the teacher I remember best was a teacher I had fo
15、r French when I was at school . er . er . Many years ago - more years than I care to remember, Im afraid. Yes, I studied French with him for, um, ooh, let me see, it must have been five years, because I had him when I was in my first year there, when I was thirteen, and he was the main French teache
16、r till I left. It was mainly because of him that I went on to study languages French and German at university. I mean, French was really the first language I ever learned. Well, I dont count Latin, because I never managed to speak any Latin at all. Er, well, this . this teacher didnt make it easy .
17、he didnt make it easy at all, but I found that with him I really learned a lot.When I think back, I . dont really know why I liked him so much, because he was very strict with us. He made us work very hard I mean, lots of grammar exercises, vocabulary tests, that sort of thing er, and he wasnt very
18、friendly either, for the first two or three years. Oh, as well as that, he didnt really try to make the classes interesting I mean, no . no video, of course, in those days, no cassettes . but, er, we had a few films in French every term. No, in fact, the only time we really practiced trying to speak
19、 French was, er, was with the wife of one of the music teachers, who was French, er, and she gave us an hours conversation class every week. But, you know, because of that man some people might say in spite of him . no, that wouldnt be fair, no but quite a lot of us began to like France and the Fren

21、resting wife(Part II)Yes, I think with him I learned that when you learn a foreign language . its, it . well, its like opening a door or a window into a foreign country. And thats good for you, I think, because you begin to see that the way they do things and think in your country is, um, isnt neces
22、sarily the only way or, indeed, the best way.Its funny, I still have a very clear picture of that teacher. He was English but he didnt look English somehow, cos he had very, very black hair and very dark eyes, and he wore glasses with black frames, but you could see his eyes very well, and everyone
23、in the class always had the feeling that he was looking at them. And he had very thick, bushy eyebrows that made him look very, er, very serious.Yes, I remember he was very musical played the piano very well and sang. Now, he was quite a good rugby and tennis player. Great family man, too. He had th
