英语口语对话喜欢与不喜欢主题范文I absolutely love talking about the topic of likes and dislikes in English conversation. It's such a versatile and relatable topic that can lead to some really interesting and engaging discussions. Whether it's about our favorite foods, hobbies, or even places to visit, there's always something to talk about when it comes to what we enjoy or don't enjoy.When it comes to things I like, there are so many to choose from. For example, I absolutely love trying out new cuisines and experimenting with different flavors. Whether it's a spicy Thai curry or a hearty Italian pasta, I'm always eager to try something new and exciting. I also have a passion for traveling and exploring new places. There's something so thrilling about immersing myself in a new culture and experiencing everything it has to offer.On the other hand, there are also things that I don't particularly enjoy. For instance, I'm not a fan of horrormovies. I find them too intense and anxiety-inducing, so I usually opt for a light-hearted comedy or drama instead. Additionally, I'm not a big fan of public speaking. The thought of standing in front of a large audience makes me feel incredibly nervous and uncomfortable.When it comes to discussing likes and dislikes with others, I find that it's a great way to connect and bondwith people. Sharing our favorite things can lead to discovering common interests and forming strong connections. On the other hand, discussing dislikes can also be a way to empathize with others and understand their perspectives.It's a great way to build empathy and understanding withina conversation.In addition, talking about likes and dislikes can also be a way to learn more about different cultures and traditions. For example, discussing favorite foods can lead to learning about traditional dishes from different countries, while talking about dislikes can shed light on cultural taboos and sensitivities. It's a great way to broaden our horizons and gain a deeper understanding of theworld around us.Overall, the topic of likes and dislikes in English conversation is one that I thoroughly enjoy. It's a versatile and engaging topic that can lead to meaningful discussions, connections with others, and a deeper understanding of different cultures. Whether it's sharing our favorite foods or discussing our pet peeves, there's always something interesting to talk about when it comes to what we like and don't like.。
外语系教案第次课学时:授课时间:第周Context: Unit 1Title: IntroductionsThe tone of a business relationship can be set by an initial introduction. It is important to make a good impression right from the first handshake. When meeting businesspeople for the first time, is it better to be formal or informal? If in doubt, advise students to adopt a more formal approach. Here are some points to remember when making business introductions in English-speaking Western countries:a.Introduce businesspeople in order of professional rank –the person of highestauthority is introduced to others in the group in descending order, depending on their professional position.b.When possible, stand up when introductions are being made.c.If clients are present, they should be introduced first.d.The same and title of the person being introduced is followed by the name and titleof the other person.PROCEDURESLesson 1Starting upSs listen to four businesspeople and match the speakers to their business cards.

During the late twentieth century the concept of a job for life was largely replaced by the short-term contracts favored by the enterprise culture. Some found themselves with too much free time n their hands when company restructures led to redundancies. Others saw leisure time shrink and working hours increase in exchange for greater financial rewards. The British TUC estimates that, despite European Union legislation, 4 million people in the UK work more than 48 hours per week and 1 in 25 work over 60 hours. It is thought that managers and professional staff work the longest hours.PROCEDURESLesson 1Starting upSs listen to four people talking about what they want from work and make word partnerships.Vocabulary 1: Days, months, datesSs practice days, months and dates and use the prepositions in, at and on with time phrases.Lesson 2Reading: Describing your routineSs read an article about the working day of Michael Dell, Chairman of Dell computers.

So problem-solving is an essential life skill both at home and in the office. Many pressurized managers in the modern business world may benefit from training in conflict resolution to resolve disagreements. It is wise to deal with sensitive matters face-to-face. Irate e-mails and memos often contain sentiments we would modify if speaking to the person directly. Social psychologist Albert Merabian says that words account for seven percent of communication, tone 38 percent and body language 55 percent. These elements are particularly useful in understanding and resolving potential conflict situation but can be lost in cyber communication.

The modern businessperson is more likely to choose flying as the quickest way of getting from A to B. Although safer than canoe, this can still pose hazards. Frequent fliers are likely to encounter a number of hurdles that can lead to increased stress levels. First, you have to acturally get on the plane. Most airlines overbook to minimise seat wastage and no-shows. This means that if all the passengers who actually booked seats turn up, there could be a shortage of place. If there are not enough volunteers to give up their seats, then you may find yourself bumped – denied boarding and put on a later flight.PROCEDURESLesson 1Starting upSs talk about things they like and don't like when travelling on business.

WritingSs write a fax to one of the guests confirming arrangements.第次课学时:授课时间:第周Context: Unit 5Title:Food and entertainmentFood can communicate complex messages about status, nationally and identity. The fashion for eating out in restaurant was adopted by the upper classes during the French revolution. Most English words relating to eating out are adopted from the French (hotel, café, menu, chef, etc.) including restaurant, which was originally from the French verb meaning ‘to store’. Later, the migrations of the twentieth century proved fertile ground for mingling cuisines and a knowledge of the vast variety on offer is viewed as a mark of modern cosmopolitan taste.PROCEDURESLesson 1Starting upSs talk about the kind of food they like and match dishes and countries. Vocabulary: Eating outSs look at food groups and different parts of a menu.Reading: TippingThis reading section can be completed in two parts. Ss match jobs with places where people work.

Now advertisements pop up as text messages. Goods can be ordered by mall order. We can compare prices, get quotes, check if an item is in stock and place an order without moving away from our computer screen. In some ways the methods o buying and selling have undergone a revolution and in others little has changed since the early 1900s when keywords in sales were service and relationships. A modern sales force uses a mixture of tried and tested techniques and new technology to increase sales. The foundation of modern sales techniques was developed in the 1950s and includes gaining the client’s interest, building desire by showing product features or giving samples, increasing conviction by comparing the product with competitors or using statistics to highlight benefits and, finally, closing the deal.PROCEDURESLesson 1Starting upSs listen to three people talk about where and when they buy products. Vocabulary 1: Buying and sellingSs complete a sales leaflet for a computer company and listen to a conversation between a buyer and seller.Lesson 2Reading: Thirsty for success?Ss read a job advertisement for a sales representative in a soft drinks company.

A positive attitude, intelligence, perserverance and self discipline all help. Are the personality traits that contribute to success or failiure genetic? Or do we learn these characeristics are we grow up? Experts still disagree as to whether nature or nurture is more important.Can personality and intelligence be measured? IQ and psychometric tests remain popular, and the latter are still used by many companies as part of the selection process. However, in recent years the idea that only one type of intelligence exists has been criticised. Howard Gardner developed the theory of multiple intelligence. This said that people have a number of different types of intelligence that they possess to varying degrees. These are linguistic, musical, logical-mathematical, spatical, body-kinesthetic, intrapersonal(e.g. insight) and interpersonal (e.g. social skills and the ability to understand and motivate other people).PROCEDURESLesson 1Starting upSs answer a questionnaire about what sort of person they are.Vocabulary: Describing peopleSs look at the adjectives to describe people’s personalities.Listening: A difficult colleagueA property developer talks about a colleague who left the company.Lesson 2Language focus 1: Past simple: negatives and questionsSs focus on past simple negatives and questions and write questions using Why, How long, What, When and Where.Reading: Stella McCartneySs read an article about the fashion designer Stella McCartney.

There are many different types of market to choose from. The mass market aims to sell to as many people as possible, crossing age and income groups. In contrast, a niche market focuses on a narrowly defined group fo customers. It often caters to a need that has been overlooked by those suppliers who cater to markets which deal in more mainstream products or sevices. Focussing on niche markets can be cost effective as marketing campaigns can sim budgets directly at potential customers, for example through advertising on local radil or in magazines targeting special interst gorups. PROCEDURESLesson 1Starting upSs ask and answer questions about a populatioin pie chart.Vocabulary: Types of marketSs listen and repeat large numbers and look at adjectives to describe markets.Lesson 2Reading: The car market in ChinaSs answer quesitons and search for large numbers in an article aobut the Chiese car market.Language focus 1: Comparatives and superlativesSs practice comparative and superlative forms of adjectives..Lesson 3Listening: Doing business in RussiaSs listen to three parts of a presentation about doing business in Russia.Language focus 2: much/ a lot, a little/ a bitSs use the language to compare cars and pool talbes and use a bar chart to talk about sales in Russia and Poland.Skills: Telephoning: solving problemsSs listen to three marketing executives talking about a new snack bar and then role play taking part in a marketing meeting.Lesson 4Case study: Cara CosmeticsA body care company is launching a new shampoo.

There ar e many different types.A small business might become a medium or large business. If a company sells directly to the public, it is a retil business. A wholesale business sells goods in bulk to other companies. Some companies have Ltd in their name. This stands for limited company. Here, shareholders only lose what they invested if the company goes bankrupt. A company with PLC after its name is a Public limited company – its shares can be freely bought and sold. In contrast a Private limited company only passes shares to another person if other shareholders agree. A conglomerate consists of several companies that have joined together. A multinational or transnational company has global operations in many different countries.PROCEDURESLesson 1Starting upSs do a companies quiz and then talk about famous companies from their country.

Changes are taking place at an incredible speed. Hardware is becoming more compact, faster and more affordable, allowing more individuals and companies to utilise the Net. In the past, research took longer, important documents got lost in the post and information could be difficult to find. Unfortunately this revolution has brought with it a new set of problems. Research is certainly quicker but connections can be slow, making it difficult to access the websites that you need. Documents can still get lost, but now they float around cyberspace. Spam can be a problem when you e-mail account becomes overloaded with advertising that you don't want. But more sinister are the various computer viruses which can make your computer crash. And not all countries have equal access to the advantages of new technology.

It is easier to make a good impression in our own culture than in another, where our knowledge of the language and rules of behavior may be limited. Knowledge of the protocol and etiquette in the countries we do business with is essential. Protocol is adhering to the correct procedures and conduct in formal situations. This involves knowing the acceptable way to behave and includes formalities of rank, which denotes the level of a person’s position in an organisation. Etiquette focusses on communicating in a respectful and polite way in accordance with the good manners and accepted norms of the culture.PROCEDURESLesson 1Starting upSs look at tips for visiting another country or doing business there.Vocabulary: Company culturesSs complete sentences about different company cultures.Listening: Cultural mistakesSs listen to three people talk about cultural mistakes they have made.Lesson 2Language focus 1: should/ shouldn'tSs use should and shouldn't to give advice and make suggestions.Reading: Fast food in JapanAn American sandwich chain has problems with their Japanese franchise.

Despite the growth of outsourcing (buying in services that were previously performed by a company’s employees from outside the organisation) and teleworking by freelancers working from home communicating via the Internet, most professional people still go to what is recognisably a job in a building that is recognisably an office. The average tenure, the length of time that people spend in a particular job, has remained unchanged (at about seven years) for two decades.PROCEDURESLesson 1Starting upSs talk about their level of ambition and say what makes for a successful career.

The dotcom frenzy of the late 1990s, with companies raising vast amounts of money from investors, for example just to sell dog food over the Internet, came and went, and some organisations removed the dotcom suffix from their names, so much did it become a synonym for failure. E-commerce courses in business schools are no longer oversubsribed and no longer preaching that ‘everything has changed’. Companies look more at how e-commerce can be used in conjunction with other methods of selling: in retailing this means clicks and mortar, combining traditional retail outlets with online operations, ratther than investing in a whole new expensive infrastructure.PROCEDURESLesson 1Starting upSs talk about traditional shopping versus buying online and goods typically bought online Vocabulary: Shopping onlineSs work on words related to buying and selling.Listening: Selling onlineSs listen to the founder of the British operation of Amazon talk about how to succeed in online selling.Lesson 2Reading: Virtual pocket moneyTeenagers buy a lot online.

Ss role play negotiations between the two companies.第次课学时:授课时间:第周Context: Unit 3Title:CompaniesMultinationals are the most visible of companies. Their local subsidiaries give them sometimes global reach, even if their corporate culture, the way they do things, depends largely on their country of origin. But the tissue of most national economies is made up of much smaller organisations. Many countries owe much of their prosperity to SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprise) with tens or hundreds of employees, rather than the tens of thousands employed by large corporations. Small businesses with just a few employees are also important. Many governments hope that the small businesses of today will become the multinationals of tomorrow, but many owners of small companies chose to work that way because they find it more congenial and do not want to expand. PROCEDURESLesson 1Starting upSs talk about the types of company they would most like to work for and the business sector they work in now.Vocabulary: Company vocabularySs look at vocabulary used to describe companies and that used in company reports to describe performance.Listening: Reasons for successSs listen to the sales manager of a UK motocycle manufacturer talk about the factors that make his company successful.Lesson 2。

Understanding the Culture of ConversationLearning to converse in Mexico City was easier for me in one way, more difficult in another. It’s easier because, more so even than Americans, Mexicans service the relationship. They worry that everyone in the conversation is “having a good moment,”and, if someone gets upset, everyone works to make him feel better. But the conversation doesn’t move in a straight line. Its “aboutness” drifts around, both in the topic and in the way Mexicans will play with words, even invent them.One evening in Mexico City I walked into the lounge next to my hotel lobby. A Mexican and an American businessman walked in and sat at the table next to me. The American was selling pulleys to the Mexican customer.The Mexican started talking about business, and then slid ---- I’m not sure how ---- into the full eclipse of the sun that was going to happen in a few days. He spoke with enthusiasm about the Aztec(16世纪前的墨西哥土著人) notion of the fifth sun, how this was a new sun, how important and mysterious an event it was, how people had different “superstitions(迷信)” ---- that’s the word he used.The American sat back, impatient, and looked down at his spreadsheet(摊开的文件). Finally he looked up and said, “An eclipse is science, that’s all, the moon crosses in front of the sun, it’s a natural event. Now, can we talk about these pulleys?”The Mexican slouched down and the American turned animated as he discussed prices and quantities.For the American, the conversation had a topic, and he wanted to take a straight line through it from beginning to end. For the Mexican, the conversation started with one topic, but conversations have permeable membranes(能渗透的隔膜), and if another interesting topic seeps(渗出)in you ride it abound for a while. Sticking to the first topic is less important than having an interesting conversation. In fact, you may never get back to the original topic, but then there’s always tomorrow. That’s a horrible cliché(陈词滥调)about Mexico, manana, but in my experience, anyway, it came in handy. In fact, a Mexican friend, when I was having trouble opening a bank account, joked, “In Mexico the week has seven days, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and manana.”So conversation is a rich point (a rich point is something in one culture that makes it difficult to be connected with another culture), too, just as much as picking up the tab(账单)in a restaurant. When I landed in conversations in Austria of Mexico, some of my American English frames didn’t work. It wasn’t any particular word or grammatical construction that produced the rich point; it was something about the way things were going, something about people’s ideas about how to do a conversation.A couple of years ago Karin, a Swedish colleague, told me about frames she’d built for Swedish bushiness people about to go to the United States. She’d been an exchange student to the United States and knew us well. She explained that the Swedish conversational ideal was represented by a championship skier who was interviewed on TV. When asked how he managed to ski so significantly, he didn’t launch into a discussion of his childhood, his training, and his technique. Instead, he shrugged his shoulders and said, “Y ou just do it.”Her biggest problem, she said, was to teach the Swedes to lace their conversation with self-promotion ---- here’s who I am, here’s why I’m good at it, here’s why you should pay attention to me. For the Swedes, this kind of talk was like walking into a party and putting yourcigarette out in the onion dip(浸汁). But it was what the Americans expected ---- an answer to our orienting question, and I’ve heard it phrased just like this on occasion: “Who in the hell are you?”Conversations can be rich points, no doubt about it. To handle the rich points, old unconscious ways of doing things are dusted off, new ways are built up. To converse in the new way, you have to experience culture and manufacture some frames. If you don’t figure out the frames, you might speak grammatically correct German or Spanish or Swedish, but what you communicate will differ from what intended.In the eyes of others, you won’t just look like your conversations are off.(你的谈话有点古怪)。

Such conversations help build and maintain relationships while providing anopportunity for individuals to express themselves and connect with others.。

B: And there are some movie theme music,color of night. Don’t cry for me argentina,sang by Madonna, blowing in the wind,just one last dance and my heart will go on.
I think these songs cloud last forever.
A: Yes ,becaue they have stood to the test of time.
They cccompanied us and more people when we were
children .Our memories will fade out without them.
When I am down, music cheers me up. When I am lost, music guides me through. When I am tired, music soothes me gently. When I am weak, music lifts me up.
B: So do them.
You know, we are always very busy about studying, so, i think if we feel tired and exhausted sometimes,we could listen to music.To a large degree, it is one of the best ways to release the presure we face.
By the way,some words in the songs are meaningful .For example,the words in I didn’t know my own strength is very appealing to me .
I didn't know my own strength
Survived my darkest hour
My faith kept me alive
I picked myself back up
Hold my head up high
I was not built to break
There were so many times I
Wondered how I would get through the night I
Thought took all I could take
These words sometimes even move me to tears. When I met with difficulties, I felt the way as the song describes. I was not built to break.
A: Yes, Sometimes the music makes you happy, and sometimes it makes you more thoughtful.
B: It’s great that we both love music.。
