第一周讲义要点
2007-09-10 17:47

第一周的课上, 除了我对自己和课程的介绍外, 希望各位能注意以下的几个要点:

I. Assessment 考核方式:

       Term performance coursework and personal presentation) and,

       End-term exam

Mind you here, I'd like to pay particular attention on your term performance rather than final exam. (请注意,我个人而言会更加关注你们的平常成绩,而非最后的考试结果。)

II. Grammar Points (语法)

    1How to use -ed(past gerund) clause (怎样使用动词加-ed 形式的从句, 来写长的句子) 鉴于这一部分的内容, 相对而言比较的简单。我在此仅从课本上举一个例子说明。

     例句:WTO is an inter-governmental body.     It is entrusted by the United Nations towards the promotion and development of tourism.

      (这是两个单独的短句。如果我们将他们合编成一个长句的话。就成了下面的句子。)

            WTO is an inter-governmental body entrusted by the United Nations towards the promotion and development of tourism.

       (关于这个方面,如果你还有什么其它的问题的话,可以和我约时间讨论。)

     2How to describe a graph (怎样表述图标)

           * 用于表述上升趋势(upward movement)的单词主要有: increasegrow, rocket, soar, surge, take off, rise, escalate(这个词多用于形用增长的很快,以至于会造成严重的问题)go up shoot up

           * 用于表述下降趋势 (downward movement)的单词有:decrease, decline, lessen, plummet, plunge, diminish, crash, drop, shrink ,fall, dwindle, slump

           *用于表述基本上没有什么变化的趋势(No movement)的单词有:LEVEL off /out (停止升降,保持水平) reach a plateau(进入发展的稳定期) remain stable/constant/steady, stand at (达到的特定水平)

           * 其它相关的单词有:tail off(逐渐缓慢的变小)     bottom at/out(跌落至的最低位置), peak at/reach a peak(达到顶点) start, dip(往往用于形容很小的升降变化) fluctuate(起伏不定; 在一定的大小,数量之间波动) predominate with(占优势,以什么为主) compare with/to, account for, as opposed to, erratic(不规则的,不稳定的) recover from...to

        另外,当你介绍引用图标时,常用的句子有:

          *The graph shows/describes/illustrates/demonstrates/summarizes/outlines/explains that (该图标显示了什么样的内容)

          *According to/Relying on/Referring to/ In the light of/As shown in/ As can be seen from(根据图标的内容)

          *It can be seen from ……that (从图中可以看出)

          *It is manifest from ……that (从图中可以看出)

III. Vocabulary Study(单词学习)

      我个人推荐的两种记忆学习单词的方法是:

      1Remember words having similar spellings together(词形相近的词一起记忆)

         E.G.     Equalize     v. 使均等,使相等,使平等

                    (1) Equalization n.平局,平等

                         Equalizer/equaliserA goal or point that gives you the same scores as the opposing side.(扳平比分的得分)

                         Equivalence n.相等,相同

                         Equivalent     adj.相等的,相同的

                    (2) Equitable adj. (Opp.反义词 Inequitable ) 公平合理的,公正的

                         Equity     n.(Finance 经济金融方面的单词) 股本,资产净值;(Legal 法律方面) 公正,公平(这是一个相当重要,并很常用的单词)

                    (3) Equality n. (Opp. Inequality)     E.g.(例子) Equality of opportunity机会均等

                         Equal     adj.(+ to sb./sth 某人或者某事物)

                            Idm.(习语)have no equal/without equal无以伦比的,无敌的

                                E.G. He is a singer without equal.

          (2)     Remember synonyms together (近义词一起记忆)

         E.G. Puzzle  

                    (1) 使迷惑 confuse, confound, mystify, baffle, perplex, bewilder, bemuse, faze, stump, flummox(informal 非正式的英语)  

                2+over  仔细琢磨,苦苦考虑 think hard with, consider, ponder, chew over, meditate on, contemplate, wonder about, deliberate on;

                    (3) +out 琢磨出答案 understandwork outcomprehend solve figure out, suss out(英式英语)unravel, reason out, make sense of, sort out , make head or tail of

IV. Reservation form(预定表格的填写)

        * Correct personal information NAME (注意在英文如何使用常用的单词来清楚的表述自己的英文名字),contact methods(联系方式)Emergency phone number紧急联系电话,payment(支付方式)A/C No = Account number/Credit card number(银行账户或者信用卡帐号)

        * Special requirements or any private services preferred(特殊的需求或需要特别的个人服务)

        *type of rooms(房间类型); number of guests(客人的人数)

        * ETA/ETD estimated time of arrival/departure(预定到达和离开的时间);

        * Transportation arrangement(接送方式的安排)

        * Fixed or possible Prices of accommodation (固定的或者可能性的住宿价格) 因为根据不同的季节,旅馆会变动自己的价格,这些是不需要提前通知住客的。 甚至有的时候会出现floating rate(浮动的价格)。因此,最好事先未清除价格,以免有什么纠纷出现,带来不愉快。

以上就是我们上节课讲的内容了。如果大家还有什么其它的相关问题的话,可以直接给我留言哦!谢谢
