Some students like to translate(翻譯) when they practice speaking English. Translation is a very difficult exercise. During a conversation, we don’t really have time to translate what we understand. When we use translation, we don’t develop the necessary reflexes (反應(yīng)能力) needed to speak and understand a foreign language. It is important to build up reflexes right from the beginning. It will help you later when your skills are good enough to take a conversation.
Here is some advice on how to build up reflexes when you only have basic words and grammar.
Relax!
No one is checking you except yourself! Look at each communication experience as an adventure. Try to relax first when you speak English. You will pick up on small details.
Context(上下文) is your friend.
What is context？ It means the situation in which something happens and that helps to understand it. (2)We can make good guesses about what is being said by using the context. It will be easy when you think about the context. You will feel much more comfortable and confident if you remember that.
Ask questions what you want to know.
After you have proudly asked for tickets at the train station, the booking-office clerk (售票員) spoke a long sentence to you about the place and the time. You may be a little unclear or have only understood a part of it. However, you can ask questions about what you want to know, such as, “Did you say…?” and “Would you repeat that more slowly?”. So that you can easily move the communication forward.
Use body language.
Use body language to go with your words when you __(1)___ to learn a __(1)_____ language. The person you are speaking to only wants to understand you and will be carefully listening to you. As you become more proficient (熟練的) in your second language, you will depend(依靠) more on the language and less on body language. But there is no shame for a beginner.

【小題1】 在(1)處的空白處分別填入一個(gè)適當(dāng)?shù)脑~使句意完整、上下文通順。
________  __________
【小題2】 將(2)句譯成中文。
_______________________________________________________________________________
【小題3】回答問題： What does the writer want us to do first when we speak English?
_______________________________________________________________________________
【小題4】 在文中找出與 Maybe you didn’t hear clearly or understand all of it.意思相同或相近的句子，并將它寫在答題卡上。
_______________________________________________________________________________
【小題5】 在文中找出最能表達(dá)該短文主題的句子，并將它寫在答題紙上。

Dear Sir,
I am writing to you about my stay at your hotel. My wife and I arrived on Saturday, May 15th and stayed for a week. Though we were treated well and found the service excellent, we think there are one or two things we should bring your attention.

It is true that people with better education are usually able to get better paying jobs. In other words, they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don’t. It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs. But this isn’t accepted by all people.
Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life to get education only for a way of living. This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education. In fact, if education is just a way of making a living, people don’t need to spend so much time in school. People can get education for a living in a short time. Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone. Even language and maths need not be taught in detail, either. Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.
Education is well-rounded and it is mainly for improving a man. It is not only to teach him to speak, read and write, but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities. After that, it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human. Educationis to make a man lead a better life. Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music, read good books, watch plays and take an interest in the world.
I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education, but certainly not the most important or the main reason.

【小題1】People with little education usually         .

A．spend a long time in school
B．have a good chance to get a job
C．spend the best years to choose jobs
D．have fewer chances to get a good job
【小題2】 The earliest education was probably to         .
A．make a man lead a better life
B．teach a man to write and read
C．make people get a way of living
D．teach people to read good books
【小題3】The underlined word “well-rounded” in the passage means “            “in Chinese.
A．圓滿的 B．嶄新的
C．公平的 D．全面的
【小題4】 It is expected that educated people will be able to            .
A．a(chǎn)ccept education as a way of living
B．take an interest in the whole world
C．develop their abilities to make plays
D．learn subjects like language and math
【小題5】 The passage mainly tells us that         .
A．education should make a man improve
B．people can get education in a short time
C．people should be able to get good paying jobs
D．a(chǎn)ll subjects are so important for a way of living
