日常口语外教，新年愿望享受当前的快乐

（文/太平洋英语）

新年是下决心的时候，至少在大多数人的心里会编排出一份“应做什么”和“不应做什么”的令人生畏的单子。相同的决心以单调的规律年复一年地出现。2012新年，你又列下哪些新年愿望呢？

It's New Year's Eve and my guess is that you're reading a bunch of posts on how to make resolutions that will 'really work' or copying resolution lists made by the top 30 under 30.You're searching for health apps peppered with gamification to help you lose 10 pounds and created a bunch of notifications that alert you when you go over your entertainment budget.I'm not going to convince you of yet another way to ensure you'll reach all of your goals because quite frankly no formula has ever worked for me.I've spent too much time making lists that never get looked at again until the end of the year when I end up rolling on the floor laughing at some ludicrous idea that popped into my head at 11:59pm on Dec 31st.This year I'm going to skip the list making, mind mapping and magazine cut-outs of sports cars, yachts and private islands.Instead, I'm going to have a conversation with my past, present and future self.Recently I watched the TED talk from David Goldstein 'The Battle Between Your Present and Future Self'and was intrigued by his behavioral time machine that depicts anticipated emotional reactions of the present and retired self.Depending on how much money was saved for retirement, the facial expressions of the present and future self changes.If the present self sacrificed a lot of happiness for the future, his facial expression was sad, but his future self was happy, and vice versa.Why limit the behavioral time machine to retirement savings, why not use it as a tool for negotiating between your present and future self? Strike a healthy balance between enjoying your life now and setting yourself up for success and happiness in the future.Tie

breakers can be done through learning from your past self as a gauge for potential success.Put your gadgets down and use your imagination for a second.Pick a time in the future and visualize what your future self looks like, where they are, what they are doing, and who they are spending time with.Ask your future self some questions about how they got there.Your future self is not going to give you a big long list of the precise actions they took, they are going to tell you something about your frame of mind and help you focus on one or two things.Now, think about your present self and how you can be happy and still become your future self.If your future self looks slimmer than you do now, then instead of the usual resolution to “lose 10 pounds in 2 months by cutting out all frappuccinos” the conversation may be to cut out one frappuccino per week and to take your dog for longer walks.You can look at your past self to bring realism and practicality to the equation and set your present self up for success.I recommend not spending too much time talking to your past and future selves because that's how you become depressed about regrets and anxious about obligations.Only your present self can decide how much you are willing to sacrifice now to have the life you envision in the future.Keep in mind that your future is not guaranteed, right this very moment is.If you sacrifice all of your happiness today for some point in time in the future, you may regret it.It's actually one of the top regrets of the dying.Conversations with my future self mostly focus on one thing, and that is to stop being so scared of failure.My past self quotes my mantra by Mark Twain: 'Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than the ones you did.So throw off the bowlines.Sail away from the safe harbor.Catch the trade winds in your sails.Explore.Dream.Discover.'

I wish you much success and happiness in 2012 and beyond.Now go floss and brush your teeth before bed, your future self will thank you.A Rare Fossil Record 罕见的化石记录

The preservation of embryos and juveniles is a rate occurrence in the fossil record.The tiny, delicate skeletons are usually scattered by scavengers or destroyed by weathering before they can be fossilized.Ichthyosaurs had a higher chance of being preserved than did terrestrial creatures because, as marine animals, they tended to live in environments less subject to erosion.Still, their fossilization required a suite of factors: a slow rate of decay of soft tissues, little scavenging by other animals, a lack of swift currents and waves to jumble and carry away small bones, and fairly rapid burial.Given these factors, some areas have become a treasury of well-preserved ichthyosaur fossils.胚胎与幼体被保存下来在化石记录中是少见的事情。微小纤细的骨骼通常在石化前就被食腐肉的动物拆散了，或者被风化作用破坏掉了。鱼龙比起陆地的动物有更大的几率被保存下来，因为它们作为海洋动物常生活在腐蚀性较小的环境中。但是它们的石化需要一系列因素：软组织的腐烂速度缓慢，很少被其他动物残食，缺少混杂、冲走小骨头的快速水流和波浪，以及相当快地被掩埋。当这些因素存在时，某些地区就会变成一个充满保存完好的鱼龙化石的宝库。

The deposits at Holzmaden, Germany, present an interesting case for analysis.The ichthyosaur remains are found in black, bituminous marine shales deposited about 190 million years ago.Over the years, thousands of specimens of marine reptiles, fish and invertebrates have been recovered from these rocks.The quality of preservation is outstanding, but what is even more impressive is the number of ichthyosaur fossils containing preserved embryos.Ichthyosaurs with embryos have been reported from 6 different levels of the shale in a small area around Holzmaden, suggesting that a specific site was used by large numbers of ichthyosaurs repeatedly over time.The embryos are quite advanced in their physical development;their paddles, for example, are already well formed.One specimen is even preserved in the birth canal.In addition, the shale contains the remains of many newborns that are between 20 and 30 inches long.在德国获尔兹梅登，那儿的沉积物给人们提出了一个有趣的分析案例。人们在黑色的、含沥青的海洋页岩中发现了约19，000年前沉积下来的鱼龙化石。几年时间内，在这些岩石中取得了数以千计的海洋爬行动物、鱼类以及无脊椎动物的标本。它们的保存质量非常的好，但更令人称奇的是保存下来的育有胚胎的鱼龙化石数目。在获尔兹梅登附近一个小地区的六个不同的页岩层中分别发现了育有胚胎的鱼龙化石。这表明大量的鱼龙经年累月重复使用一个特定的地点。那些胚胎已经发育得相当完整了。比如，它们的蹼桨已经完全

形成了。有一个标本甚至被保存在产道中。而且，那块页岩包含着很多在20到30英寸之间的新生幼体的化石。

Why are there so many pregnant females and young at Holzmaden when they are so rare elsewhere? The quality of preservation is almost unmatched and quarry operations have been carried out carefully with an awareness of the value of the fossils.But these factors do not account for the interesting question of how there came to be such a concentration of pregnant ichthyosaurs in a particular place very close to their time of giving birth.为什么在其他地方那么稀少的怀孕雌兽和幼体在获尔兹梅登却那么多呢? 因为其保存质量几乎举世无双，采集工作的进行一直是一丝不苟的。大家都认识到这些化石的价值极其珍贵，但这些因素并不能解释这个有趣的问题： 为什么在一个特定的地点会如此集中地出现即将临产的怀孕鱼龙群呢?

第二篇：外教口语学习方法

外教口语培训怎么样

许多已经工作的人们在学习英语有多方面困难。一是远离英语学习时间较长。很多在职人员只在大

一、大二时上过正规的英语课，到了大

三、大四就没有上过英语课程了，现在又工作了一段时间，已经很久没接触英语了。二是复习时间较少。三是干扰较多。在职人员常有些社会活动和应酬，甚至还要加班和出差。

随着中国国际化进程的加速，英语的应用范围越来越广阔，越来越多的人意识到掌握一口流利的英语会为自己的职业发展和生活带来更多的机会和精彩。为了提高自己的英语水平，很多人会去外教口语培训班上上课。

说到外教口语培训，现下已经成为了热门，说是一种时尚也不为过。但有的人参加外教口语培训后提高效果明显，有些人却感觉上完外教口语培训还在原地踏步，同样是外教口语培训，为何会有如此差距，伯瑞英语根据多年培训经验，分享和英语学习的方法。上外教口语培训 不要光听不说。

很多人由于对自己的水平缺乏自信，或羞涩心里，而不敢开口。时间一长，听力倒是长进不少，可仍达不到交流的目的。众所周知，语言尤其是口语的学习，必须建立在说的基础上。所以报外教口语培训强烈建议报一对一的，目的就是将开口机会最大化。专业的外教会引导你去开口。和伯瑞英语的外教一对一在线上课，最大程度的提高说英语的机会。上外教口语培训在交谈中遇到不熟悉的词汇或句子，要让外教重复。

我们上外教口语培训的目的就是在和外教交流的过程中提高自己的口语水平，如果交流中不懂装懂，那么就失去了学习的意义。伯瑞的外教老师会一直重复你不熟悉的词汇，让你很好的提高英语口语能力。

上外教口语培训一定要带上笔和本。

虽然是口语学习，以对话为主，但一节课下来，涉及到的词汇和句型也不少，用笔记录下来可以帮助自己在课下更好的复习。当然，上伯瑞，外教老师也会在上课的同时，为你记笔记，记下你薄弱的地方，让你课后复习。

上外教口语培训可以试着了解外教感兴趣的东西，也可以讲讲自己感兴趣的事，发现双方的共同点，在和外教谈论起来，无疑可以更好的提高自己的学习兴趣和学习效率。个人还是建议学习英语的朋友们，先从最简单易懂的阅读入手，遵从循序渐进的学习过程，切忌语速则不达，要明白罗马并非一日建成。希望我的方法对你们有所帮助，加油！

第四篇：口语外教培训

口语外教培训：谁说口语不能速成? 我们身边口语好的人无非两种，要么是海归，要么是外企人事。究其原因是他们生活和工作中都会用到英语。知道了问题所在，那么提高口语就很容易了。正所谓“Practice makes perfect!”(熟能生巧)。

我们常说兴趣是最好的老师。学习英语也一样，首先要把学英语当成一件快乐的事。可以通过多途径多角度学习，比如听英语歌，看喜欢的英语电影，试着用英语写日记，在 速恩英语 和外教一对一交流自己感兴趣的话题等等，把英语学习作为生活的一部分。

其次，学习英语一定要重视学习效率。反复枯燥的复习已经学会的内容是没必要的。直接高难度的学习也容易打击积极性，所以选择与自己水平相当的内容是很重要的。全外教英语口语练习，是根据学生的实际水平授课，不会出现太难或是太容易的情况。

很多同学都迫切的想提高自己的口语能力，这种心情可以理解。目前市面上的学习材料多不胜数，让人眼花缭乱，于是有人看着差不多的就买回家，随便翻两页随手就放在一旁，相信有不少人都花过这些冤枉钱。所谓“贪多嚼不烂“，自己学习很容易会出现这种情况。较好的方法是和老师交流，了解自己的水平，明确自己的学习目标，再有的放矢的学习。有条件的同学也可以参加全外教英语口语班，带着问题去上课，上课后及时消化掉当天所学，让学习节奏紧凑而又有序。

最后，最重要的一点，一定要付诸行动，并且坚持。就像学习游泳一样，即使是世界冠军给你示范一万遍，如果你就是不肯下水，那你就永远是个旱鸭子。口语的提高要靠日常的积累，口语速成，是掌握了正确的学习方法，少走弯路。

第五篇：外教口语北京[定稿]

外教口语北京

外教那么多，外教口语北京哪好？当然除了了解外教的教育背景、教学经验以及教学成果等，速恩外语凭借多年培训经验分享，还可以用下面标准来衡量您找到的是否是优秀的英语外教！

首先，告诉外教老师您想要学些什么（发音、口语、考试等等），然后，询问外教是否可以准备授课计划以及了解课程的架构。一位好的外教应该能够做出令您满意的答复。

如果您是一位初学者，一位好外教不会问您想学什么，而是他们知道您应该要学些什么。

一位好外教将会纠正您的错误，同时侧重教您比较弱的地方，他们会以较具挑战性的课程引发您的兴趣，而不是讲您已经知道的东西令您无聊。

一位好外教不会让您对自己的弱点感到难为情，反之，他们会纠正使您记住。

外教老师通常会期望您问他们问题的，这是西方国家教育系统的标准习惯。一个好外教会回答您的问题，但是却不会偏离课程主题的。

一位好外教在每次上课之前都是准备充分的，而不是临场发挥。当然，判断是否是一位好外教，不能完全凭这些标准，最终要的还是要看您学了是否真的长进了，是否真的可以运用这门语言。教学效果才是评价是否是好外教的终极标准！
