A true sportsman is fair and generous. He is a good loser and a graceful winner. If a sportsman breaks a rule in sports, he is punished; if he is courageous and generous, he is respected by all. The winner is not expected to be proud, and the loser should have no reason to feel discouraged. Fair play is considered the spirit of sport. So everyone must obey the rules and the referee.

2.Pairwork:

2) Ownership existing in China: state-owned, private ownership, public ownership, individual ownership, collective ownership, joint venture, foreign enterprise…

5) Before the introduction of the policies of reform and opening to the outside world, China had a unitary public ownership economy, which lacked vitality. But since the reform and opening to the outside world, the Chinese government has encouraged the development of diversified economic elements while insisting on the primacy of public ownership. As a result, both the individual and private economies have developed rapidly. By the end of 1998, the registered industrial and commercial enterprises of individual and private ownership amounted to 32.4 million, and they had 78.24 million employees; Chinese-foreign joint ventures, Chinese-foreign cooperative enterprises and foreign ventures numbered 325,000, absorbing 265.6 billion yuan of foreign direct investments. The development and expansion of these enterprises have played important roles in many aspects, such as bringing convenience to people’s everyday lives, making up for the deficiency of construction funds, and introducing advanced technologies and management from abroad. At the same time the control of the public-ownership economy has been further strengthened. In 1999, the increased value of state-owned enterprises and industrial enterprises above a certain scale made up 24.7 percent of the notion’s total gross domestic. Now the mutual development pattern for diversified ownership with the public ownership economy as the mainstay has been basically formed.

Reading II

Dictation

What is your dress sense like? Do all clothes suit you? Can you wear any style or color you like and still look good? For most of us, the answer is no.

We have to choose our clothes carefully to suit ourselves and the shape of our body.

Patterns make things look different, so if you are not as slim as you would like

to be, wear dark colors or choose suitable patterns. If you are tall and thin, don’t wear vertical stripes. A T-shirt with horizontal stripes, on the other hand, will make your shoulders look broader.

《商务英语口语》说课要点

《商务英语口语》说课要点 1、该课在专业学生培养方案中所起的主要作用： 《商务英语口语》是一门实践性较强的课程。通过该门课程的学习，要求学生了解和掌握商务活动背景知识，能流利与外商谈论日常及一般商务话题。该课程属商务英语专业必修课，其主要前期课程包括进出口业务和商务英语函电。学生在修该门课之前需具备一定的进出口业务知识和商务英语基本技能。该课程的平行及后续课程包括商务英语写作和商务英语翻译等。实践证明，本课程在培养学生的英语口头表达能力和商务英语谈判应用能力方面具有相当重要的地位。 2、该课程在教学内容方面所进行的取舍、整合等课程改革情况： ①教学内容改革 在原有的发盘、报盘、还盘、商谈包装、运输、支付手段、保险条款、签署合同、商务代理为主要内容的基础上，增加处理投诉、索赔，国际投资、国际招标与投标、国际经济技术合作等内容。即由原来外贸口语基本内容扩充到商务英语会话及谈判。 ②课程主要教学方法和手段改革 商务英语口语是一门实践性很强的课程。以前的教学方法通常是教师讲解带读,学生朗读背诵，反复句型操练。这样的教学模式存在不少的问题,如课堂气氛不够活跃,容易形成教师“一言堂”的状况；学生实践能力和灵活运用能力较差等。同时，由于课堂教学形式的限制，教师无法正确安排实践环节，这也是影响教学效果的主要因素之一。针对种种现状，我们可加入丰富的案例教学，情境教学，培养学生的发散性思维，多维创造性，变“教师为主体”的教学模式为“学生为主体”的教学模式。教师通过让学生做值日报告、编写情景对话等演示，多让学生走上讲台，学生在自编自演的过程中充分发挥其学习自主性,能力也相应得到提高。

教学方法的多样性必须依托丰富的教学手段。教学手段的多样化可以提高学生对学习商务英语口语的热情,加强对商务活动场景的感性认识。在实际教学过程中可以充分利用多媒体、网络等现代教学手段,激发学生的学习兴趣。在这样的环境里,教师可以利用各种音像资料教学软件丰富教学内容,活跃课堂气氛。对部分口语素材,如报价单，包装规格、支付方式等通过多媒体手段演示,并模拟双边谈判、成交等程序,加深印象。此外,教师可以指导学生学会利用网络上的丰富资源,培养他们的自主学习能力,促进课堂知识的消化。如有条件可以组织专业教师自行开发外贸英语口语教学软件或课件,放到校园网上,要求学生课后上网浏览。如图1-1所示。 图1-1 商务英语口语教学的多种教学手段 ③实践教学内容和环节的确定 实训1 机场迎客 实训内容：机场迎接国际贸易伙伴或准伙伴 实训目的：让学生了解并体验各国迎候、见面、打招呼的不同方式、喜好及忌讳，了解机场接客的基本程序及礼仪。 实训场地：黄花机场 实训步骤：1、确认对方，自我介绍 2、问候客人，稍作闲聊 3、安置行李，驱车送客

Treating disease by bathing has been popular for centuries. Modern medical bathing or hydrotherapy (水治疗法) , first became popular in Europe and by the late 1700’s also became popular in the United States. For many years frequent bathing was believed to be bad for one’s health. Ordinary bathing just to be clean was avoided and perfume was often used to cover up body smells! By the 1770’s doctors began to say that soap and water were good for health. They believed that it was good for people to be cleaned. Slowly people began to bathe more frequently.

商务英语阅读教学浅论

商务英语阅读教学浅论 " 论文关键词：英语阅读；商务英语；教学 论文摘要：英语阅读是语言教学中的重要活动，阅读教学开展的成功与否很大程度上影响着综合运用英语的能力。商务英语阅读更是如此。商务英语阅读是一种特殊的阅读，它不仅是基础英语阅读的延伸，更是商务知识的获取过程。 商务英语阅读教学，一是阅读教学，即教师指导学生掌握各种阅读技能，从而逐步提高理解能力和阅读速度，在增进语感的基础上提高实际运用语言的能力；二是商务知识教学，即以语言为载体，以阅读为手段，把核心的商务内容放在其中，通过引导学生阅读商务文体的语篇实现其对商务知识的掌握，以满足未来就业的需求和社会发展的需要。 一、从制约因素来看商务英语教学 （一）阅读方法不当 1、有声阅读。在课堂中往往有学生不自觉地在阅读过程中发出声音，

结果导致阅读速度很慢，而且“读”往往把学生的部分注意力转移到了读音等其他方面，影响阅读的有效性。 2、追求逐字逐句的理解。很多学生都在阅读过程中要求自己对每个字句的意思都能有清楚的理解，其结果往往不但影响阅读速度和效率，更增强自己的挫折感，不利于以后阅读的开展。 3、经常回读课文。不少学生经常在阅读过程中，不断反复的回视上文，导致信息输入的不连贯和混乱，常常影响对文章整体意思的理解。（二）词汇量制约 商务英语阅读区别于普通阅读的是：在商务英语阅读的过程中，往往会出现较多的经贸等方面专业术语或半专业术语，，一些普通阅读中的核心词意思也可能会发生改变或者语篇中会出现一些日常生活不常用的专业术语，这使的很多学生方寸大乱，不知道该怎么阅读。（三）相关专业知识的匮乏 在给出专业术语和其他生词注解的情况下，学生仍然读不好；而对一篇包含较简单、接近生活的商务内容的文章，即使里面有一些术语或其他生词，学生也能理解得较好。可见学生阅读能力低还牵扯到了背景知识问题，即相关专业知识的问题。 二、从教学方法上探讨商务英语阅读教学 从众多问题的暴露中不难看出，商务英语阅读需要从阅读方法和阅读内容上双管齐下。以下是笔者在探究性实践基础上，总结所得到的
