第三篇：新概念英语

新概念英语是世界闻名的英语教程。本版是该书出版30年来经作者亲自修订的唯一新版。这套经典教材通过完整的英语学习体系，帮助学生掌握英语的4项基本技能——听、说、读、写，使学生能在学习中最大限度地发挥自己的潜能。

【一册初级】：“First Things First” 英语初阶 从基本的发音、重音和语调开始，让您逐步学会使用英语中的基本词汇、语法及句型结构。学好第一册，是练好英语基本功的关键，掌握了第一册，才算真正踏进了英语之门。

【二册基础】：“Practice and Progress” 实践与进步在第一册全面技能训练的基础上，由浅入深，进一步在语法、口语、阅读、写作技能方面进行大信息量的全面培训，通过对关键句型的分析、词汇基本用法的讲解、摘要写作及作文练习中的串联造句、书信格式与题材的逐步介绍，将使学习者真正能用听、说、读、写来实践英语。是想要重新系统学习英语的学员的最佳选择！

【三册中级】：“Developing Skills” 培养技能着重分析句子之间内在的逻辑关系，让学员充分认识和领悟英文句型的精练、优美、实用和可模仿性，从而将其有机地运用到英文写作之中；同时，将进一步扩充讲解词汇、语法及句型的实战运用。新三的目标就是要让学员教会用英语！

【四册高级】：“Fluency in English” 流利英语全册涵盖了文学、经济、体育、政治、等三十多个学科门类，语言修辞精美独到，句型结构复杂多变，内容精练，同时，许多文章蕴涵着深厚的哲思、美学及西方文化中独特的思维方式，从而使该教材成为每一位欲掌握英语语言精华的学习者不可多得、不可不学的读物，理解了第四册，便理解了英语文化，便学会了英语思维。

为了使更多的英语学习者能够掌握《新概念英语》（新版）的精髓，我们按照教材同步制作《新概念英语》（新版）VCD。该VCD由北京外国语大学和北京大学具有丰富教学经验的英语教授和讲师，按照教材特点进行同步辅导与讲解。

《新概念英语》（新版）针对中国学生学习英语过程中的重点、难点、疑点问题提供详尽的指导，并对词汇、语法、听力、口语、写作等英语能力进行全方位的训练，帮助学习者打下扎实的语言基本功，尽快提高英语的综合应用能力。

第四篇：浅谈新概念英语

看到论坛中的网友都在找新概念美语版的录音，可能与现在的大部分听力材料都是美语有关(如voa toefl)。不过我推荐大家使用由英国longman公司录制的新概念，原因很简单，这套录音根据不同的英语水平设计了不同的时速，从第一册的每分钟约100歌单词到第二册的每分钟120-140个单词，再到第三四册的每分钟150-160个单词，使学习者逐渐熟悉适应正常的说话速度，设计较为合理，而不象一般的录音都是一个速度。同时该录音采用的是Received Pronunciation。即BBC所使用的standerd English，有利于大家以后适应收听BBC。

另外一个大家比较关心的问题是对听惯了英国英语后会否听不懂美语，实际这种担心是不必要的，我还没听说哪个英国人听不懂美国话，从我的实践来看也不存在这种问题，二者虽有差异，但并非很大。同时许多网友听VOA没有问题了，再听BBC也不存在听不懂的问题。

第二个大家比较关心的是发音问题。实话实说，不论你学的是美语还是英语，对于大部分不是从幼儿时期就说英语的人，你所发出的永远是中国腔的英语，只不过是程度上的差异而已。同时许多专家也提倡在学英语的初期学习英国英语，因为英国英语的发音比较规范，容易养成良好正确的发音习惯。而且从英语改说美语也并不难，找几部美国电影，跟着里边的台词说几遍，你的发音就会大大的得以改变。

第三点我想强调的是大家在学新概念时所忽视的一点，就是新概念同时也是训练大家提高写作水平的一本好教程，大家仔细看一看每课后的写作练习，从最简单的简单句写起，一步一步引导你写出较复杂的句子，再到不提供提示，独立写出句子和段落，循序渐进，为大家的英语写作打下坚实的基础。

第五篇：新概念英语阅读

lesson 1 A private conversation Last week I went to the theatre.I had a very good seat.The play was very interesting.I did not enjoy it.A young man and a young woman were sitting behind me.They were talking loudly.I got very angry.I could not hear the actors.I turned round.I looked at the man and the woman angrily.They did not pay any attention.In the end, I could not bear it.I turned round again.„I can't hear a word!‟ I said angrily.„It's none of your business, ‟ the young man said rudely.„This is a private conversation!‟

Notes on the text 课文注释go to the theatre，去看戏。got angry，生气。turn round，转身，也可用turn around。pay attention，注意。I could not bear it．我无法忍受。其中的it是指上文中的那对男女大声说话又不理会作者的愤怒目光。none of your business，不关你的事。

lesson 2 Breakfast or lunch? It was Sunday.I never get up early on Sundays.I sometimes stay in bed until lunchtime.Last Sunday I got up very late.I looked out of the window.It was dark outside.„What a day!‟ I thought.„It's raining again.‟ Just then, the telephone rang.It was my aunt Lucy.„I've just arrived by train, ‟ she said.„I'm coming to see you.‟ „But I'm still having breakfast, ‟ I said.„What are you doing?‟ she asked.„I'm having breakfast, ‟ I repeated.„Dear me, ‟ she said.„Do you always get up so late? It's one o'clock!‟ Notes on the text 课文注释 on Sundays，指每个星期日。星期几的前面用介词on。What a day！多么糟糕的天气！这是一个省略的感叹句。完整的句子应该是What a day it is！英语中的感叹句常用what开头，后面紧跟一个名词或名词性短语(包括连系动词)，然后是主语和谓语，句尾用感叹号。I'm coming to see you．在这句话中现在进行时用来表示近期按计划或安排要进行的动作。Dear me！天哪！这也是一个感叹句。

lesson 14 Do you speak English? I had an amusing experience last year.After I had left a small village in the south of France, I drove on the next town.On the way, a young man waved to me.I stopped and he asked me for a lift.As soon as he had got into the car, I said good morning to him in French and he replied in the same language.Apart from a few words, I do not know any French at all.Neither of us spoke during the journey.I had nearly reached the town, when the young man suddenly said, very slowly, 'Do you speak English?' As I soon learnt, he was English himself!课文注释

1.I drove on the next town.我继续驶往下一个城镇。句中的副词 on 有“继续地”，“不停顿地”意思。2.on the way,在途中。3.ask for a lift,要求搭车。4.apart form,除了……以外。

5.As I soon learnt,he was English himself!我很快就知道，他自己就是个英国人。

lesson 15 Good news The secretary told me that Mr Harmsworth would see me.I felt very nervous when I went into his office.He did not look up from his desk when I entered.After I had sat down, he said that business was very bad.He told me that the firm could not afford to pay such large salaries.Twenty people had already left.I knew that my turn had come.'Mr Harmsworth,' I said in a weak voice.'Don't interrupt,' he Said.Then he smiled and told me I would receive an extra &1000 a year!New words and expressions 生词与短语

secretary n.秘书
