Unit 5 Languages Around the World

Listening and Speaking 

One language sets you in a corridor for life. Two languages open every door along the way.               —Frank Smith

释义: 一门语言能带你进入人生旅途, 两门语言则为你开启人生旅途中所有的大门。 ——弗兰克·史密斯

启示: 语言是人与人之间沟通的工具, 是一个人生产与发展必备的技能, 掌握多门语言可以让你了解更多的外部世界, 也为你事业的成功插上腾飞的翅膀。

1. Language is the embodiment of life.

语言是生活的化身。

2. Language is fossil poetry.

语言是诗歌的化石。

3. Language is a city,  everyone adds a brick for the construction of the city.

语言是一座城市, 每个人都为这座城市的建设增添了砖瓦。

　　As is known to all,  the power of words can be equal to a gun. When you say something ill to someone else,  you’re,  to some extent,  setting up a destructive relationship with him. Instead,  if you inspire others by uplifting words,  the contribution to strengthen your friendship can be significant. However,  whether the words are anti-ear or not,  there is no doubt that they do succeed in making their way to impress you at all times.

Personally,  there are specific words that impress me a lot. It’s the final exam in junior high school. Unfortunately,  I failed though I had made a good preparation before it. I never knew whether others laughed at me at that time. What aroused me,  though,  were the words from my classmates—It never rains,  but it pours—from which I benefit a lot. I guess that it’s his inspiring words that set off my inner motivation to feel good about myself again.

From my own perspective,  realizing that we human beings are in need of positive reinforcement,  I attach great importance to speaking inspiring words whenever it is needed.

[词海拾贝]

1. uplifting adj. 令人振奋的　　2. specific adj. 特定的; 具体的

3. motivation n. 动机, 动力 4. to some extent 在某种程度上

[我学我思]

Do you think that words have a powerful effect,  and why?

 I think words,  especially inspiring words,  are powerful because they can give people strength and inspire them to do better.  

Explore languages around the world

Ⅰ. 主题词汇听写

Ⅱ. 教材听力填空

　　To some students,  it seems that the only foreign language to learn is English. There are,  however,  nearly (1)7, 000 languages in the world. After Chinese,  the language with the most native language speakers isn’t English—it’s Spanish!  Learning English is (2)very useful,  but it is wise to learn at least one other foreign language,  if possible.  

There are many reasons why people learn a foreign language. Many students choose to study one of the languages that are spoken at the UN. As they think it means better job chances in the future. The UN has (3)six official languages:  Arabic,  Chinese,  English,  French,  Russian,  and Spanish. They are spoken by around 2. 8 billion people as their native or second languages.  

Some students,  though,  choose to study a language because of (4)family or friends. One American girl chose to learn Danish because her grandparents were from Denmark. When she was little,  her grandpa used to read letters to her in Danish from their relatives in Denmark. Another young lady started learning (5)French because she had several friends from African countries where French is spoken.  

What do you think?  Which other language would you choose to study and why?

【听力原文】

M:  Hello,  Professor Zhang. I’m Peter.

W:  Hello,  Peter. Can I help you?

M:  Yeah. I have been studying Chinese for many years,  and I have learnt a lot of grammar and vocabulary,  but I find it difficult to talk with Chinese people. I can’t understand them.

W:  Well,  that’s a problem. How long have you been studying Chinese?

M:  Three years in junior school,  and two years in senior school.

W:  Um. How do you learn Chinese?  Do you often listen to Chinese program?

M:  I often attend Chinese training programs.

W:  Yes,  I see. Peter,  I always think learning a language is rather like learning to drive. If you want to drive perfectly,  you have to practise over and over. Similarly,  if you want to speak Chinese well,  you need lots of practice.

英美发音的不同点

　　1. 当字母r出现在单词的元音字母组合中时, 北美英语会出现独特的卷舌音。也就是元音发音完毕后, 要很流畅地将舌尖向后卷, 但不得接触上腭。

　　5. 美式英语中的 t: 字母t可出现在单词的词首、词中和词尾三个部位。其中在词首与词尾时的发音技巧与英式英语相同。例如: 。而在词中时, 英国人的读法和词首、词尾一致, 美国人却有两种读法。由舌尖弹动发出的弹舌音, 听起来像一个非常轻的/d/。例如: better　city　letter　little。

/t/　　　　　　　　/d/

Italian　　　　   Italy
