第一篇:李陽瘋狂英語-自我表達
第一招 自信的你
Confidence
電影藝術(shù)大師查理?卓別林說,“人必須相信自己,這是成功的秘訣”(You have to believe in yourself.That is the secret of success.)。挪威劇作家易卜生也說過,“如果你懷疑自己,那么你的立足點確實不穩(wěn)固了”(If you doubt yourself, then indeed you stand on shaky ground.)。自信,建立在實力的基礎(chǔ)上。學(xué)習(xí)英語更是與自信密不可分,沒有自信,你只能原地踏步。從一言一行做起,充分給大家展示一個自信的你吧!

第九招 傷心的你
Sadness
人有悲歡離合,月有陰晴圓缺。德國哲學(xué)家叔本華曾經(jīng)說過,“一定的憂愁,痛苦或煩惱,對每個人都是時時必需的。”(A certain amount of care or pain or trouble is necessary for every man at all times.)。英國詩人考伯更是將悲痛視作一劑良藥(Grief is itself a medicine.)。聽一曲藍色憂郁的旋律,咀嚼一絲苦澀的人生滋味。誰能說,這不是一種獨特的美?

C: 噢,原來是要我去參加禮節(jié)訓(xùn)練班。Mary,這詞是怎么發(fā)音的? M:E-ti-ket。Q-u是發(fā)k的音,而不是發(fā)q的音,e-ti-ket。C:我們來公司工作,又不是來社交,為什么要講禮節(jié)呀?
M:Etiquette is very important to business。一個公司的雇員對客戶是不是很客氣,有禮貌,這對經(jīng)營有很大關(guān)系。

M:Asking someone's age is offensive to an American.C:參加了訓(xùn)練班才知道不能問美國人年齡的。
M:你辦公室里的小王今天早上突然問年薪有多少。美國人認為打聽這種私人的事是不禮貌的。我想對有些中國人來說也是不禮貌的。C:沒錯。
M:既然你訓(xùn)練班已經(jīng)結(jié)束,我來考考你: Tell me what is etiquette? C:我來試試。Etiquette is a set of rules that allow us to interact with others in a civilized manner。M:And treating other people with courtesy and respect and making them feel comfortable with you.C: Mary,以后我有問題還會來請教你喲!M:No problem。

第五篇:李陽瘋狂英語
現(xiàn)在,很多學(xué)生帶手機上學(xué)。為此,某英語報在你校組織了一場討論。討論的主題:中學(xué)生是否有必要帶手機去學(xué)校。請你根據(jù)下表提供的信息。給報社寫一封信,客觀地介紹討論情況。
大多數(shù)同學(xué)認為

中學(xué)生年齡尚小,還不能自控;用手機玩游戲,發(fā)短信浪費時間;容易引起攀比;如需打電話,學(xué)校里有公用電話可供使用。
追求時尚可以理解,但學(xué)習(xí)是首要任務(wù)。

Mobile Phones at School
Dear editor,[1] I’m writing to tell you about the discussion we’ve had about whether it is necessary for middle school students to carry mobile phones to school.[2] The majority of the students think that it is more convenient for them to keep in touch with their parents and classmates if they have a mobile phone.And what’s more, it’s the latest fashion.[3] However, most teachers think middle school students are not old enough to control themselves.It is a waste of time for students to play games and send messages to each other by mobile phone.And it’s easy to cause the students to vie with each other.If necessary, they can make phone calls by using public phones on the campus.[4] In my opinion, following the fashion is understandable.But as middle school students, we should put all our heart into our studies.Yours truly,Li Hua
