UNIT 1大一新生日记星期日从家里出发后，我们开车开了很长一段时间才到达我住的宿舍楼。

我进去登记。

宿舍管理员给了我一串钥匙，并告诉了我房间号。

我的房间在6楼，可电梯坏了。

等我们终于找到8号房的时候，妈妈已经涨红了脸，上气不接下气。

我打开门锁，我们都走了进去。

但爸爸马上就从里面钻了出来。

这个房间刚刚够一个人住，一家人都进去，肯定装不下。

我躺在床上，不动弹就可以碰到三面墙。

幸亏我哥哥和我的狗没一起来。

后来，爸爸妈妈就走了，只剩下我孤零零一个人。

周围只有书和一个箱子。

接下来我该做什么？星期一早上，有一个为一年级新生举办的咖啡早茶会。

我见到了我的导师，他个子高高的，肩膀厚实，好像打定了主意要逗人开心。

“你是从很远的地方来的吗？”他问我。

他边说话边晃悠脑袋，咖啡都洒到杯托里了。

“我家离爱丁堡不太远，开车大约6个小时，”我说。

“好极了！”他说，接着又走向站在我旁边的那个女孩儿。

“你是从很远的地方来的吗？”他问。

但不等那女孩儿作出任何回答，他就说到，“好极了！”然后就继续向前走。

他啜了一口咖啡，却惊讶地发现杯子是空的。

妈妈打来电话。

她问我是不是见到了导师。

星期二我觉得有点儿饿，这才意识到我已经两天没吃东西了。

我下楼去，得知一天三餐我可以在餐厅里吃。

我下到餐厅排进了长队。

“早餐吃什么？”我问前面的男生。

“不知道。

我来得太晚了，吃不上早餐了。

这是午餐。

”午餐是自助餐，今天的菜谱是鸡肉、米饭、土豆、沙拉、蔬菜、奶酪、酸奶和水果。

前面的男生每样儿都取一些放到托盘上，付了钱，坐下来吃。

我再也不觉得饿了。

妈妈打电话来。

她问我有没有好好吃饭。

星期三早上9点钟我要去听一个讲座。

我醒时已经8:45了。

竟然没有人叫我起床。

奇怪。

我穿好衣服，急匆匆地赶到大讲堂。

我在一个睡眼惺忪的女生旁边坐下。

她看了看我，问：“刚起床？”她是怎么看出来的？讲座进行了1个小时。

结束时我看了看笔记，我根本就看不懂自己写的字。

那个女生名叫苏菲，和我一样，也是英语文学专业的学生。

一名语言教师的个人看法威尔•皮德克罗夫特1 我每天都会在报纸上、公共汽车上看到各种广告，声称轻轻松松就能学好英语。

按照这些广告的说法，学生不必费什么力气，要说一口流利的英语只需短短3个月,甚至10天就行。

广告还常常提到威廉•莎士比亚和查尔斯•狄更斯等英语文学大师的名号进一步激励学生。

每当看到诸如此类的广告时，我真是哭笑不得。

如果学英语真像这些广告所说的那么轻松，我恐怕得另谋出路了，因为不需要那么多合格的英语教师了。

但是肯定有许多人相信这些可笑的噱头，不然的话这些广告也不可能出现。

2 学生们喜欢实惠的速成学习方法也在情理之中，但要用浅显易懂的语言去解释为什么某一方法比另一方法更有效并不是一件简单的事，而且也无需装模作样地声称有什么人已经找到了一个万能的适合所有学习环境的教学方法。

一些专家甚至认为，有多少个好老师就有多少种好的教学方法，因为每一个老师都有其自身的特点。

3 有很长一段时间，人们认为学好一门语言唯一的方法就是去使用那种语言的国家待上一段时间。

当然去英国、美国、或者澳大利亚等国家学英语的学生肯定比那些不能去的学生具有很大优势，但是很多学生支付不起那笔费用。

有些学生走向另一极端：他们认为可以借助词典在家自学。

如果你认为英语中的每一个词在另一语言中都有完全对等的词，那就错了，反之亦然。

通过翻译法来给学生讲解口语的自然形式是不可能的，更不要说做到语音、语调地道了。

4 现在大量的教学活动还是建立在行为主义心理学的基础之上。

行为主义者热衷于让学生复述短语，不断做一些只需更换句中某个词的练习。

假如我们是鹦鹉或黑猩猩，那这些方法或许能奏效，可惜我们不是，这似乎让很多理论家引以为憾，否则他们提出的那些方法用起来就会容易得多了。

5 我个人认为，假如没有兴趣，任何人都不可能学好英语或其它任何语言。

与鹦鹉或黑猩猩不同，人类不会无缘无故地发出噪音，除非他们明白这些声音是什么意思，并且能将其与自己的生活联系起来。

值得牢记的是：语言是一种交际手段，人们在母语中怎么说怎么写，用另一种语言表达时也大同小异。

Part IUnit 2Dear aunt pat,Today my English teacher chose my essay to read to the class . I had tried to make it funny --- and it Worked! Everybody laughed .even prim mr.f had to hold back a smile. Afterwards lots of people offerdme their congratulations.I was more surprise than anybody . as you know,I used to find our English exercises rather tedious, but This time when I scanned the list of essay titles one caught my eye. It was the art of eating spaghetti. Do you recall that night in Belleville when you made us all spaghetti ? it remains vivid to me .especially all the good—humored arguments we had about the proper way to eat it . so that is what i wrote about .l have the idea off and on for some time now that one day I might take up writing .if I can turn out more work like that perhaps I really will be able to make a career of it .u2wpoor old ed. It made me all choked up when I heard the news about his death .he meant awful lot to mewe had know each other practically all our lives ,ever since we group up in the same neighbourhood .i should have written to him before, but I am not much good at correspondence. All my available time is taken up driving the cab .

I had been meaning to write a proper letter for a long time ,but kept postponing it .then last week I finally got round toit ,only to get the bad news just as I was on my way to the mail box. Whoever says you should never put off till tomorrow what you can do today is absolutel y right.。

Chinese Translations of Texts A (Units 1-8)参考译文第一单元成长课文A我们写作时常常被告诫，脑子里要有读者，笔者所云一定要符合读者的口味和兴趣。

但有一位读者特别不该忘记。

你能猜出是谁吗?当拉塞尔·贝克找到这个问题的答案时，他自己和别人都感到大为惊讶。

为自己而写拉塞尔·田克从孩提时代，我还住在贝尔维尔时，我的脑子里就断断续续地转着当作家的念头，但直等到我高中三年级，这—一想法才有了实现的可能。

在这之前，我对所有跟英文课沾边的事都感到腻味。

我觉得英文语法枯燥难懂。

我痛恨那些长而乏味的段落写作，老师读着受累，我写着痛苦。

弗利格尔先生接我们的高三英文课时，我就准备着在这门最最单调乏味的课上再熬上沉闷的一年。

弗利格尔先生在学生中以其说话干巴和激励学生无术而出名。

据说他拘谨刻板，完全落后于时代。

我看他有六七十岁了，古板之极。

他戴着古板的毫无装饰的眼镜，微微卷曲的头发剪得笔齐，梳得纹丝不乱。

他身穿古板的套装，白衬衣领扣外的领带打得——丝不苟。

他救着古板的尖下巴，古板的直鼻梁，说起话来—·本正经，字斟句酌，彬彬有礼，活脱脱一个橱稽的老古董。

我作好准备，打算在弗利格尔先生的班上一无所获地混上—·年，不少日子过去了，还真率出所料。

后半学期我们学写随笔小品文。

弗利格尔先生发下一张家庭作业纸，出了不少题供我们选择。

像“暑假二三事”那样傻乎乎的题目倒是一个也没有，但绝大多数—样乏味。

我把作文题带回家，——直没写，直到要交作业的前一天晚上。

我躺在沙发上，最终不得不面对这一讨厌的功课，便从笔记本里抽出作文题目单粗粗—看。

我的目光落在“吃意大利细面条的艺术”这个题目上。

…这个题目在我脑海里唤起了一连串不同寻常的图像。

贝尔维尔之夜的清晰的回忆如潮水一般涌来，当时，我们大家——起围坐在晚餐桌旁——艾伦舅舅、我母亲、查理舅舅、多丽丝、哈尔舅舅——帕特舅妈晚饭做的是意大利细面条。

However, I always like to study on my own, withgood reasons. First, I feel that I can concentrate better when I study alone. When I have to worktogether with other people, I often get distracted and more often than not, I end up chatting withthem without completing the task at hand. Second, when I study on my own, I can work at myown pace, choosing to spend more time on certain difficult sections and less time on less challenging parts. I can also check my class notes or reference books whenever I feel the need to.One final good advantage of studying alone is that unlike group work, self study is not restrictedby time and space. In other words, if I feel like studying, I can do so at any time and anywhere.(146 words)I like to study in a groupAccording to a recent study, students who study together by discussing homework and problemsusually score higher than those who work on their own. I am happy to hear that because I like tostudy in a group. I think we can reinforce our understanding of what we have learned in class byasking each other questions. Besides, it is always enjoyable working with someone else. A discussion on questions we don’t understand very well will help clear up any possible confusion. Last but not least, we should not ignore the importance of cooperation in our society. Workingwith others helps develop our team spirit, which has become essential in this modern world ofours. After all, two heads are always better than one.(125 words)▆Sample Essay for Task 2:College Is Not an Ivory TowerPeople often say that college is an ivory tower and life on campus is cut off from the harshrealities of the real world. College may have been an ivory tower before, but it is not so any more.We college students are under various kinds of pressure. First of all, most of us are burdenedwith a heavy tuition fee, which keeps on increasing every year. So some of us have to work overten hours every week. Life for those who can get financial help from their parents is not easyeither, as they very often have to follow their parents’ advice and take a major they donFinally those who are about to graduate suffer from a different kind of pressure: hunting for a job.It is no longer easy for a college student to get a decently paid job these days.(134 words)The Answers to Unit 2Enhance Your Language Awareness Section A Useful ExpressionsUseful Expressions from Text A Chinese Equivalencesdon’t know whether to laugh or cry 哭笑不得it is no use doing…做……是没有用的to a certain extent 在某种程度上have a great advantage over sb. 比某人有优势cannot afford to do sth. 负担不起……go to the opposite extreme 走到另一个极端let alone 更别说be fond of doing sth. 喜欢做……it is a pity (that) 遗憾……in my personal opinion 我个人认为be similar to…与……相似It is worth doing 值得做……Useful Expressions from Text B Chinese Equivalenceshave great trouble with…做……很吃力try at all costs to do sth. 不惜任何代价做……rid them of their fear and dislike of books 消除他们对书本的厌恶和恐惧心理do sth. for pleasure 出于乐趣而做……mean every word of it 说话算数(I) Working with Words and Expressions1.

I should say that I am highly motivated to masterEnglish. First of all, learning English is useful, as it is becoming a world language and people fromdifferent countries often communicate with one another in English. If I am good at English, it willbe much easier for me to communicate with them. Secondly, I like traveling a lot. A good masteryof English will make things much easier for me when traveling around the world. Finally, I likeliterature a lot. If I am very good at English, I can read great works by Shakespeare and Dickensand many other English writers instead of reading the translated versions.▆Sample essay TwoWhy I hate to learn EnglishI have learned English for about seven years. I should say the more I learn English, the more Ihate it. First of all, learning English is boring. I have to memorize many new words or rely on adictionary to frequently check unknown words. Doing so wastes a lot of my precious time.Secondly, I don’t understand why we have to learn a foreign language. I don’t want to go abr and I can always find a job that doesn’t need English in China. Finally, I can always read translated versions of the books I want to read. So, if I don’t have to learn English, I would rather use thetime I spend on English to do things I like.Unit 3 Parents and ChildrenEnhance Your Language AwarenessWords in Action2 In the box below are some of the words you have learned in this unit.Completethe following sentences with them.

The passive voiceA passive construction occurs when you make the object of an action into the subject of a sentence. That is, whoever or whatever is performing the action is not the grammatical subject of the sentence.The Passive is formed: Passive Subject + To Be + Past Participle. If the agent is important (the person, company or thing that does the action) , use “by”. If it is not definite and does not carry any essential information, it can be omitted.※Only verbs that take an object can be used i n the passive voice.e. g. Houses are built.My bike was stolen.Practice:Complete the following sentences with the appropriate form of the verbs given. 1. People were surprised to find that an enormous hole ____________ (cut) in the steel door by the burglars.2. It’s high time that he _____________ (tell) to stop behaving like a child.3. As she _____________ (climb) the ladder, it slipped sideways and she fell off it.4. I know a new film _____________ (show) at the cinema these days.5. I know a new film _____________ (show) at the cinema in two days.6. I know a new film _____________ (show) at the cinema recently.Keys:1. had been cut2. was told (The past tense is used to show the hypothetical meaning.)3. was climbing (The active voice is used because the subject of the sentence is the one who performs the action.)4. are being shown (The present continuous tense is used because “these days” refers to a period of time in which an action is continuously being performed.)5. will be shown ( “In two days” refers to sometime in the future.)6. has been shown (The adverb “recently” is a marker of present perfect tense.)2. SubordinationSubordination (abbreviated variously SUBORD, SBRD, SUBR or SR) is a complex syntactic construction in which one or more clauses are dependent on the main clause.Dependent clauses are also called “subordinate clauses”.Subordinate clauses are introduced by a subordinating conjunction, such as, after, although, as much as, as long as, as soon as, because, before, if, in order that, lest, since, so that, than, that, though, unless, until, when, whenever, where, wherever, whether, and while, etc.. I don't know if George is awake yet.George overslept because his alarm clock was broken.Practice:Join the two sentences into one, using the words and phrases given.in order that unless as since when until1.

新通用大学英语综合教程第1册教学反思随着我国经济的发展和国际化的步伐，人们对英语学习的需求日益增加。

作为一名大学英语教师，我们要帮助学生掌握语言知识，提升语言能力。

为此，我们需要选择一本较为适合的教材。

本文主要从近几年使用的新通用大学英语综合教程第1册的角度，对其成效进行一些反思和总结。

教材概述新通用大学英语综合教程第1册（以下简称《综合1》）主要适用于大学英语新生，包括英语专业和非英语专业的学生。

该教材共13个单元，每个单元包含阅读、听力、口语、写作、语法五个部分，涵盖了初级英语的基本知识和技能。

《综合1》突出语言输入和输出的平衡，强调以交际为目的的英语学习。

其教学内容和形式贴近学生的实际需求和兴趣点，通过富有生活情趣的语言材料和多种交际活动激发学生的学习兴趣，增强了他们的学习动机，提高了语言学习效果。

教学反思1. 教材的优点1.1 适用面广《综合1》是一本适用面较广的教材，不仅适用于英语专业学生，更适合非英语专业学生。

这是因为《综合1》的语言内容紧密联系实际社会生活，既有常用词汇、固定搭配等基础知识，也涉及到一些社交语境、文化背景等，使得非英语专业学生能够轻松理解并使用英语，促进交际能力的提高。

1.2 教学设计合理《综合1》既注重知识的传授，更注重学生的语言输入与输出。

教材中许多阅读、听力和口语材料是真实的生活语言材料，能够提高学生的学习兴趣和阅读能力。

同时，教材编排的单元内容也十分紧凑而合理，每个单元的课文、听力、口语、写作、语法等部分内容都有机地衔接在一起，为学生提供了系统、完整的语言知识和能力训练。

1.3 强调交际导向《综合1》把交际能力作为英语学习的核心目标，强调用语言来交际，注重语言交际实践。

通过大量的听说任务和交际实践活动，引导学生在实践中学习，从而提高学生的语言应用能力，增强学生的信心、乐趣和积极性。

2. 教材的不足之处2.1 语言难度偏低《综合1》为适应大多数入门学生的学习需要，教材中的语言难度有些偏低，这使得一些具有一定英语基础的学生可能会觉得教材过于简单，难以激发他们的学习兴趣和学习动力。
