Keep up my spirit! To be the teacher of myself. I believe I can do better.
New concept english 2. There are 96 lessons totally. I plan to learn all within 32 days, that means I have to learn at least 3 lessons per day. I think I can do it.
And now the first lesson:
Lesson 25. Do the English speak English?
Text: I arrived in London at last. The railway station was big, black and dark. I did not know the way to my hotel, so I asked a porter. I not only spoke english very carefully, but very clearly as well. The porter, however, could not understand me. I repeated for several times and at last he understood.He answerd me, but he spoke neither slowly nor clearly."I am a foreigner" I said. Then he said slowly, but I could not understand him. My teacher never spoke English like that! The porter and I looked at each other and smiled. Then he said something and I understood it, "You 'll soon learn English!"he said. I wonder. In England, each person speaks a different language.The English can understand each other, but I don't understand them. Do they speak English?
oh.busy busy for a moment.
终于还是一课也没学完,打了若干个电话联系那么几个小事,就没时间了。看来我出师不利啊。
人总是有理由和借口来开脱自己,特别是对待自己更加宽容大度,不过不宽容也不成啊,总不至于威逼恐吓自己,想不开到去撞墙呢。今天继续学习,毕竟上班了没有那么多属于自己的时间了,整天日的囚禁在这么个屋子里,我愈加希望去满是青草,遍地树荫,花香鸟鸣,溪水潺潺的地方去撒欢跑跑,休息休息。白日梦里的世外桃源啊。
忽然想起了桃花源记,写的多美啊。想象有那么一天,我,缘溪行,忘路之远近。忽逢桃花林,夹岸数百步,中无杂树,芳草鲜美,落英缤纷;复前行,欲穷其林。林尽水源,便得一山,山有小口,仿佛若有光。从口入。初极狭,才通人。复行数十步,豁然开朗。土地平旷,屋舍俨然,有良田美池桑竹之属。阡陌交通,鸡犬相闻。其中往来种作,男女衣着,悉如外人。黄发垂髫,并怡然自乐。 呵呵,美得我啊。
继续学习--5月19日。
单词我都会,意思全明白,主要锻炼我的语感,语法和常用短语。英语学习,我的目标是听的明白,读的懂,写的好,说的溜。再也不要为了考试而学习。新概念是我的首选,每天背几课,写在这里。其次是走遍美国。单词忘了很多,背牛津词典我还真尝试过,不过觉得没什么可能,有毅力背下牛津,我可能也能去当大学教授了,所以单词学习靠刘毅和金山了。书不可以杂,其实只要一本,弄的透彻明白就能去美国忽悠人了。似乎所有道理我都讲的明白,我以这种方式说服自己很多年了,苦口婆心,真难为我自己了。写下来,加深一遍记忆,也知道自己学过了。
Fighting!
