Comments(评语)

Well done, John, on all your hard work this term. You are always active in speaking activities, and this is great. I always like reading your writing too. You have very good ideas. You can see from your marks that reading is not a problem for you.

Sometimes you still make small grammar mistakes, and I think you can improve your vocabulary. I advise you to review many of the language points we studied this term. There is extra language practice in your online workbook.

The area you need to work on the most is listening. I know this is difficult for you. I suggest you do more practice at home. Listen to English TV shows, podcasts and radios as much as possible. I can give you a list of things to listen to.

I’ve enjoyed working with you. Have a nice holiday, and good luck for next term!

3 . 配对阅读。以下是为五个人的情况描述，以及某网站七条与英语学习有关的信息介绍。请根据个人的需求，为他们选择合适的信息。其中有两项是多余的。

1     I can hardly finish the reading test in time. There is not enough time and I feel very nervous.     2     I have some questions about my lessons. But I don’t like to ask the teacher in front of my classmates.     3     I can’t follow the tape when I am doing listening tests, because there are always some words I don’t know.     4     I always forget the new words. Even though I learn them hard one day, I may forget them the next day.     5     I want to do better in study. And I need to learn some good study skills to help me go over the lessons.

A. Try to get the main idea of the tape and do not stop to think even when you hear some new words. You don’t need to know every word in the passage. B. How about asking the teacher after class? You can also write the questions down on a piece of paper and give it to the teacher. Maybe he will tell you the answer when he has time. C. You can write words in your notebook and review them from time to time. Therefore, you won’t forget them easily. D. Do reading exercises in a given time. Try to read fast. You don’t need to know each word. You can guess the word’s meaning by reading the sentences before and after it. E. Listen to others carefully and write down what they say. You can also learn to write down the lyrics of English songs. It’s a good way to practice your listening skill. F. Don’t worry about that. Try to speak English more with your close friends first. Once you can do it well, talk with others. I am sure you will make it. G. Why not take notes by writing down key words and making mind-maps? It’s easier for you to remember what you’ve learned in class. You may explain the information to other students as well.

9 . Learning Chinese is a challenging but good experience as it gives you the opportunity to communicate with more than a billion people.

Foreigners think Chinese is a mysterious and difficult language because it is very different from the Roman alphabet (罗马字母). In fact, Chinese is not much more difficult than learning any other language. One reason is that Chinese does not have the kind of complex tenses (时态) like European languages.

Although it is certainly not easy for foreigners, in my experience you can learn Chinese fast. You will certainly find differences between the language in textbooks and people’s everyday speech. One example of this is the differences between language on the street, written Chinese, and Internet culture. It produces new phrases and vocabulary. In the real life nowadays, people often use short, less conversational phrases(词组) to communicate with each other. China has many provinces and their dialects are different. After you learn and understand-the-Beijing dialect, you may find it is hard to understand Shanghai dialect.

The language continues developing. So it is still not easy for learners, no matter how well they learn from textbooks.

I hope that one day more Chinese courses are able to connect with “real” spoken Chinese and the way in which Chinese people speak daily. It will help foreign learners to be, able to really communicate with the local Chinese.
