You may be surprised to find that there are different ways of going about learning languages, none of which i
4、s necessarily better than the others. Researchers have identified four basic learner “types the municative learner, the analytical learner, the authority-oriented learner and the concrete learner. municative learners like to learn by watching and listening to native speakers. At home, they like to l
5、earn by watching TV and videos. They like to learn new words by hearing them. In class, they like to learn by having conversations. Now, concrete learners like to lean by playing games, by looking at pictures and videos in class, talking in pairs, and by listening to cassettes at home and school. No
6、w, authority-oriented learners, on the other hand, like the teacher to explain everything. They like to write everything down in their notebook, and they like to have a textbook. They like to learn new words by seeing them. And finally, we have analytical learners. These learners like to learn by st
7、udying grammar. At home, they like to learn by studying English books, and they like to study by themselves. They like to find their own mistakes. Now, of course, its unusual for a person to be exclusively one “type rather than another. Most of us are mixtures of styles. What type of learner do you

Part II A3 GCSE examinations students / higher educationstudent/ second year / high school / college general exam / School Certificatesitting University Entrance Examination bachelors degree: 3/ 4 yearsmasters degree: another year or two doctorate: a further 3-7 yearsWell, in Britain,
9、 from the ages of five to about eleven you start off at a primary school, and then from eleven to sixteen you go on to a secondary school or a prehensive school and at sixteen you take GCSE examinations. After this, some children take vocational courses or even start work. Others stay on at school f
10、or another two years to take A levels. And at the age of eighteen, after A levels, they might finish their education or go on to a course of higher education at a college or university, and thats usually for three years.Well, it depends on what state youre in but most kids in the United States start
11、 school at about six when they go to elementary school and that goes from the first grade up to the sixth grade. Some kids go to a kindergarten the year before that. Then they go on to junior high school, thats about eleven, and thats the seventh, eighth and ninth grades. And then they go on to seni
12、or high school around age fourteen starting in the tenth grade and finishing in the twelfth grade usually. Some students will leave school at sixteen and theyll start work, but most of them stay on to graduate from high school at age eighteen. In the first year at high school or college students are
13、 called “freshmen, in the second theyre called “sophomores, in the third year we call them “juniors and in the fourth year theyre called “seniors. Now a lot of high school graduates then go to college or university and they do a four-year first degree course. Some of them might go to junior college
14、which is a two-year course. Well, in Australia, well most states anyway, children start their primary education at five after perhaps a brief time in kindergarten. They will stay at primary school until theyre about eleven, then theyll either stay there or go to an intermediate school for a couple o
15、f years. Then they start high school usually twelve or thirteen, which you start in the third form. Now, after three years at high school you sit a general exam, some states call it School Certificate and that is a sort of general qualification and that if a sort of general qualification. After that
16、 you can leave school at sixteen or you can go on and sit your University Entrance Examination, which then gives you entre into a university or its another useful qualification, and from then on you go to various sorts of higher education.Education in Canada is a provincial responsibility, but schoo
17、ls are administered by local school boards.Kindergarten is for children who are four or five years old. Children begin formal full-day schooling in Grade 1, when they are about six years old. They must stay in school at least until they are sixteen. However, most students continue to finish high sch
18、ool. Some go to college or university. Each year of schooling represents one grade. (The school year extends from the beginning of September to the end of June.) Elementary school includes kindergarten to about Grade 8. Secondary school (or high school) may start in Grade 8, 9, or 10 and it usually
19、continues until Grade 12.In Canada, students may go to university or to a munity college. If they want to learn skills for specific job, they attend college for one or four years to get a diploma or certificate. For example, lab technicians, child-care workers, and hotel managers go to college. Univ
20、ersities offer degree programs as well as training professions, such as law, medicine, and teaching.Universities offer three main levels of degrees. Students earn a bachelors degree after three or four years of study. A masters degree can take another year or two. A doctorate may take a further thre

Lingo, Professor of Linguistics at Chimo University, who is here to talk to us about the growing business of teaching En
22、glish. Good morning, professor Lingo.P: Good morning.I: I understand that teaching English is being “big business all around the world.P: It seems that language schools are springing up everywhere. I: Why is that?P: With the move toward a global economy, English has bee the most widely used language
23、 in the world. It is the language of business, aviation, science and international affairs and people find that they must learn English to pete in those fields. I: And do people find English an easy language to learn?P: Well, every language has something about it that other people find difficult to
24、learn. English is such a hodgepodge of different languages its essentially Germanic but a lot of its vocabulary es from French, and technical words stem from Latin and Greek. This feature makes English fairly adaptable which is a good thing for a world language but it causes irregularity in spelling
25、 and pronunciation. I: English spelling baffles me, too.P: English also has the largest vocabulary. Often there are words for the same thing, one is Anglo-Saxon and one from the French like “buy which is Anglo-Saxon and “purchase which is from the French. The French word often has more prestige. I:
26、Anglo-Saxon? P: Thats the word for Old English. The Norman Conquest in 1066 brought the French language to Britain and helped English evolve into the English it is today.I: Is there anything else particularly difficult about English?P: Well, the idioms in informal English pose a problem for some stu
27、dents. I: Informal English?P: As with any language, there are different varieties: slang, colloquial. Formal, written, as well as the different dialects British, American and Canadian English. I: And how is Canadian English different from American and British? P: Canadian English is closer to Americ
28、an in pronunciation and idiom. Some of our words and our spellings do reflect British usage, however. We wouldnt use the British term “lorry for truck, but we have kept the “o-u-r spellings in words such as “honour and “colour.I: This has been very interesting. Im afraid were out of time. It has bee

Age / Foreign student population II. 15 hrs (+2 or 3 for lab) / Discussion group: 15-20 / much smaller / informal, friendly / 2-3 hrs: 1 hrToday Id like to give you some idea about how life at an American university or college might be diffe
30、rent from the way it is in your country. To be sure, the student body on a U. S. campus is a pretty diverse group of people. First of all, you will find students of all ages. Although most students start college at around the age of 18, you will see students in their 30s and 40s and even occasionall
31、y in their 60s and 70s. Students on a U.S. campus e from a wide variety of socioeconomic backgrounds. Many students work at least part-time, some of them work full-time. Many students live in dormitories on campus, some have their own apartments usually with other students, and others live at home.
32、Some colleges and universities have a very diverse student population with many racial and ethnic minorities. Some schools have a fairly large foreign student population. So you can see that one meets all kinds of people on a U.S. college or university campus. Now that you have some general idea of
33、differences in the student population, Id like to talk a few minutes about what I think an average student is and then discuss with you what a typical class might be like. Lets begin my talking about an average student entering his or her freshman year. Of course, such a person never really exists, but still its convenient to talk ab
