Long, long ago, there were two brothers, the one rich and the other poor. When Christmas Eve came, the poor one had not a bite in the house, either of meat or bread; so he went to his brother, and begged him, in God's name, to give him something for Christmas Day. It was by no means the first time that the brother had been forced to give something to him, and he was not better pleased at being asked now than he generally was.
"If you will do what I ask you, you shall have a whole ham," said he. The poor one immediately thanked him, and promised this.
"Well, here is the ham, and now you must go straight to Dead Man's Hall," said the rich brother, throwing the ham to him.
"Well, I will do what I have promised," said the other, and he took the ham and set off. He went on and on for the livelong day, and at nightfall he came to a place where there was a bright light.
"I have no doubt this is the place," thought the man with the ham.
An old man with a long white beard was standing in the outhouse, chopping Yule logs.
"Good-evening," said the man with the ham.
"Good-evening to you. Where are you going at this late hour?" said the man.
"I am going to Dead Man's Hall, if only I am on the right track," answered the poor man.
"Oh! yes, you are right enough, for it is here," said the old man. "When you get inside they will all want to buy your ham, for they don't get much meat to eat there; but you must not sell it unless you can get the hand-mill which stands behind the door for it. When you come out again I will teach you how to stop the hand-mill, which is useful for almost everything."
So the man with the ham thanked the other for his good advice, and rapped at the door.
1.大学英语教学内容缺乏人文关怀
2009年,复旦大学课题组对全国289所院校1282名教师开展了问卷调查,有63.2%的大学英语教师认为学生学习英语的积极性不高。笔者认为,这种普遍懈怠状态正是大学综合英语定位在基础英语,造成学习内容重复和应试教学而产生的。经济学理论中有一个边际效用递减原理,即从心理上来讲,消费一种物品的数量越多,心理得到的满足会相应递减。简单地说,一个人得到的享受会随着***的不断满足而不断减弱,最后变成反感。我国小学阶段就开设了英语课,这属于基础英语,教学语法是为了升学。到了中学甚至大学,学生们还在学习基础英语,还是语法分析,还是为了考试。12年的英语学习内容相同、目的相同,学生最初的新鲜感、享受感会随着学习效用的不断积累而逐渐减去,乃至消失。英语学习所花费的时间和精力都是为了考试,这不得不说是极大的浪费。
2.大学英语教学目标不科学
大学基本上规定学生必须参加全国英语四级考试,同时大学英语课程和大学英语教材都是为了适合或针对各种英语水平考试而开设和编写的。这样一来,学生就很自然地把学习英语的最终目标定位在通过大学英语四级考试上。而通过英语四级考试后,一部分学生又会按照自身的需求再接再厉地考英语六级、考口译、考研、考托福。可见,如果我国大学英语教学只是为了打基础,只是为了培养学生听、说、读、写的综合能力,那么只会把我国大学英语引向应试教学。综观大学英语教学的现状,现有的高校英语教学没有从学生的角度出发,只是一味地注重基础知识的灌输,导致学生摆脱不了语法结构的束缚。教师与学生都被文章中的语法结构驾驭,使得英语教学从根本上停留在语篇结构的层面,在低水平阶段循环反复,不能很好地激发学生的学习热情,导致课堂气氛沉闷,学生的英语实际应用能力匮乏,教学效果不理想,从而违背了教学大纲的要求。依据生态学整体性、联系性、系统性等原则,课堂生态系统不是静态的、孤立的、封闭的系统,而是一个动态的、联系的、开放的、发展的整体,课堂生态系统与外部生态系统通过物质和信息的输入和输出而发生着联系。在课堂生态系统内部,作为课堂生态主体的师生,师生与环境也相互影响、相互作用,实现着彼此间的有机联系、物质循环、能量流动与信息流通,并通过反馈机制调整和协调课堂教学活动,促进师生教学相长。英语是一门兼知识性、工具性、实践性与人文性的学科,所以大学英语教学应该加强人文教育,这是由英语学科的性质和本质决定的,也是英语教学取得良好教学效果的内在要求。因此,教师必须高度重视大学英语的人文性与科学性的融合。
当新学期来临时,许多学生对新生活表现得很兴奋。在大学,新生快乐地享受着自由。在接下来的四年里,他们希望过着高中描绘的\'美好生活。但事实是,大学生活中有很多东西要学。
First, the major knowledge occupies the most important role. As a student, learning knowledge is their job, while many students focus on playing cellphone in the class, or just sleep. They lose interest in studying when they come to the free environment. Mastering the professional skill helps them to be competitive. The sad thing is that most of them can't realize it.
首先,专业知识占据着最重要的角色。作为一名学生,学习知识是他们的工作,而很多学生在课堂上玩手机,或者睡觉。当他们来到自由的环境后对学习失去了兴趣。掌握专业技能帮助他们提高竞争力,可悲的是,大多数人没有意识到这一点。
Second, as there is much free time, they can make use of it and gain the valuable experience. Students can join some clubs to develop more interest, or find part-time jobs. It is better than to stay in the dorm and play computer games all the time.
第二,由于空闲时间多,他们可以充分利用好这些时间,并从中获得宝贵的经验。学生可以参加一些活动来发展更多的兴趣爱好,或找份兼职工作。比呆在宿舍玩电脑游戏好多了。
A lot of students feel lost in the campus, because they don't plan campus life well. The things you learn will make you different in the future.
很多学生因为没有计划好校园生活在所以迷失了。所学到的东西会让你在未来有所作为。
