EMPHASIS IN ENGLISH SPEECH

美国签证陷阱

之一 签证官陷阱:What's your Salary? 错误的回答:400 yuan per month. 结果:Negative 正确的回答:I could have made 10000 yuan a month working for IBM, just like many of my Classmates.

Teaching English

Having spent nearly two years in the P.R.of China,I am usually asked questions about“Howto Speak English”.However,I have been working all this time in a Teachers’College and my mainconcern has been“How to Teach English”.I feel very strongly that teaching a modern language stands apart from the teaching of other aca-demic subjects but my main concern here is to demonstrate the utmost importance of motivation.There are basically three areas which,adequately mastered,make“good teaching”:knowledge,discipline and motivation.If one of these elements were to be taken out,the equation would flounder.
