第3题
ll these materials! There's coffee over there---help yourselves. ... Now, we're here to discuss three types of learners--kinaesthetic, visual and auditory--and how we can teach each type. I gave each of you one of them to consider. Jack, can we look at yours first, please. You were assigned kinaesthetic learners, weren't you?
Jack: Yes, I was. The first idea I had was using gestures, particularly finger gestures. Teachers can use them to emphasise stress on certain syllables. They can also use their fingers to write words in the air--spelling out the letters. The second thing is that the teacher can use the board. The teacher can ask students to spell words by going to the board and writing them up. The teacher could also ask students to write a letter each, in order. The teacher could put a poster on the board and students could go to the board with labels and label it as directed by the teacher. Another possibility is to ask students to organise words into categories on the board.
Tutor: Good. The important thing is to keep kinaesthetic learners active-- moving.
Helen: Games are good for them. Jack, did you think of any?
Jack: Yes, Helen. I thought of a couple. One is like charades. Divide the students into two or three teams. Give the students on one team some words and ask them to act them out. For example, if the word is 'cold', a student might shiver. The other teams have to guess the words.
Tutor: Good idea. Simple, but effective. Well done. Tina?
Tina: Well, I was asked to think about teaching visual learners. Flash cards are good in my opinion. The students can guess words from seeing part of the flash card--which can be a word or a picture--or the teacher can show students the flash cards very quickly. Maybe that's how flash cards got their name! Flash cards can also have different background colours depending on which part of speech they are-- noun, verb, adjective, adverb, etc. Students could also learn from their peers by highlighting words they don't know, in a text for example, then asking ... helping each other with unknown words.
Jack: I know a good game for visual learners. Make a set of cards--half with words on and half with pictures. The cards are face down and students can mm over two at a time. If the word and picture match, they keep the cards. If they don't, they mm them face down again and the next student tries.
Tutor: Great idea. Visual learners are often good at categorising words. Each page in the student's notebook refers to a category of words. Students write new words on the correct page in their notebook for faster recall. For example, page one might be food and page two could be telephone phrases.
Tina: Spider diagrams are good too.
Tutor: Yes, they are. Helen, you were assigned auditory learners.
Helen: OK. I had these ideas for teaching auditory learners. First, they could listen to a dictation and draw what they hear. For example, students listen to the teacher describing items of furniture and then draw them in the appropriate rooms of the house. Or the teacher could describe a picture. After the description, the teacher and students can see whose picture was closest to the original. Flash cards can also be used. Each student gets a flashcard and they hold up their card when they hear that word or phrase in a song, poem or story. Another way of using them is to go around the class, with each student adding a sentence to a story, including the word on their flash card.
Tutor: Auditory learners can also learn using songs and music. Any suggestions?
Tina: The teacher could give the students a text of a song, you know, the lyrics, with some words replaced by a rhyming word. Students then listen to the song and make corrections.
Tutor: That's a really good idea. Perfect for auditory learners. Well, thank you for your suggestions. I have a few other ideas you might con

听力原文: Lecturer: More and more American parents are becoming interested in having their children learn Chinese. This is not only a case of having their children attend private classes or of schools teaching the language instead of, or in addition to, the West European languages that are traditionally studied in the States, like Spanish, French and German. Oh, no. Studying geometry can be taxing for any 10-year-old, but at a select number of American schools, children are not only learning about angles, they are doing it in Chinese. This select number of schools is growing, since Chinese is a hot language thanks to China's surging economy and growing world clout. Even children as young as 6 are honing their Chinese at school, motivated by a mix of parental prodding and their own desire to do something different. I went to see one of these schools and it really is amazing when you walk into a kindergarten classroom, and the children are 'understanding what the teacher is saying and it's all in Chinese. Half of the time the kids aren't even aware that the teacher is speaking a different language. They just fall right into it.
The United States has declared this year to be the "Year of Languages", although few Americans are aware of the designation. According to a survey by the Language Association, more college students are studying foreign languages than ever before. Enrolment in Chinese has risen by 20 percent over the past 3 years. The 1.4 million students learning 15 leading languages represents a 17 percent increase over the same period. However, only 9.3 percent of Americans are able to speak a second tongue, compared to 52.7 percent of Europeans, according to the Census Bureau.
At first glance, weighty national priorities take a back seat to the fun of cultural exchange at Potomac Elementary. Hallways are festooned with Chinese art and learning aids, such as stuffed animals labelled with Chinese names. Children sing Chinese folk songs and American nursery rhymes in Chinese. In the fifth-grade immersion class, songs and games come only after a rigorous vocabulary drill and lessons on triangles and trapezoids-- all taught in Chinese. The students are good at listening and do pretty well at reading, but writing is their weak point, according to the class teacher, who has a Ph.D. in education and was a teacher in his native Beijing.
I asked two of the children--a boy and a girl--about their experiences of learning Chinese. The boy said that mastering Chinese characters was tough. When I asked why, he said that he finds the writing particularly hard because you have to do the strokes in the right order. The girl said that learning Chinese is "cool" and that she is starting to catch on to the complex writing system of characters that contain elements of meaning and sound. She pointed out that it is quite different to English because there's nothing like letters to refer to. However, she noted that she can remember how to write Coca-Cola in Chinese because it has a lot of little boxes that refer to a mouth. This visual aspect of Chinese characters and how it influences children when they are learning the language is a theme I'll return to later.
Even though it is clearly the parents who are pushing for more Chinese classes, my research revealed that they are not usually pushing their children too hard, which I think is a good thing. Parents of the kids say they are loathe to plan careers for 10 year olds. To quote one of them, "Even if my child doesn't use her Chinese going forward, she's learned so much about another culture." Some of the parents are encouraging their children--directly or indirectly--by taking night classes in Chinese. This has been proven to be a great motivator. If children see their parents learning something, they will usually take an interest in learning it too--or at least take a greater interest in learning generally.

听力原文:Woman: Good morning. Heathrow airport lost property office. How can I help you?
Man: Good morning. I lost a briefcase at your airport yesterday and would like to report it, please.
Woman: Certainly, sir. Could you give me a brief description, please?
Man: Of course. It's a very light brown briefcase, about 50 centimetres wide and 30 centimetres high. It's quite distinctive because it has a bright red clasp on the front and red trimmings. The handle is black. My initials 'A E J' are on the clasp.
Woman: Ah! Just a minute, sir. I remember a briefcase matching that description being handed in yesterday. At about what time did you lose it?
Man: My flight arrived from Sydney just after three in the afternoon. I had taken the briefcase onto my flight as hand luggage. After disembarking, it would have been almost four o'clock when I picked up my check-in luggage and left my briefcase at the carousel. It was so foolish of me.
Woman: Yes. Here is the log book. I'll just check that it's here. Do you have a pen and paper? You'll need to write down a few things to remember for when you claim your briefcase.
Man: I'll just get that while you're checking ...
Woman: Hello? Are you there?
Man: Yes. Is my briefcase there?
Woman: It is. When you come to claim it, you'll need to tell whoever is on duty the lost property number--that's EDV 758. Have you got that?
Man: EDV 758. Got it.
Woman: You'll also need to bring some identification with you--something with your photograph on it. Most people present their passport.
Man: Yes, of course. I'm flying to Austria next week, so I'll pick it up then.
Woman: That'll be fine. You'll have your passport with you, no doubt, so that can serve as identification.
Man: My flight is in the evening, so I won't be at the airport until seven o'clock at the earliest. Will the office be open at that time?
Woman: Yes, sir. We're open until six, sorry, I mean from six in the morning until midnight, every day.
Man: Great. I just need to know where your office is.
Woman: It's in the main concourse of Terminal One at the airport. Will you be coming by taxi, by car ...?
Man: I'll be arriving by underground.
Woman: OK. In that case, get off at the stop for Terminal One. Go up the escalator to the main concourse. At the top of the escalator, mm left and you'll see a large departures board--an electronic one. If you face this, you should see our office off to the right, in the comer. It's clearly signposted.
Man: Up the escalator, mm left, off to the right of the departures board. Got it. Thank you very much for your help.
Woman: That's what we're here for. I only wish we could return all the items we get handed in to us.
Man: I guess you get dozens of items every day.
Woman: Yes, we've built up quite a collection.
Man: What happens to the things that remain unclaimed, if you don't mind my asking?
Woman: Not at all. We keep each item for a minimum of three months. Twice a year. in June and December. we have a sale. The proceeds from the sale in June go towards the upkeep of the office and the proceeds from the December sale go to a children's charity. The sales are by auction and attract a lot of interest from passengers and staff, as well as from the general public.
Man: How interesting. One final thing--who handed in my briefcase? It would be nice to thank them personally.
Woman: I'm afraid there's no record of that, sir.
Man: What a pity! Well, thank you very much for your help. Goodbye.
Woman: Goodbye.
