如题所述
Warren: So Lindsay what about your dreams? What did you want to be when you were ten years old?
Lindsay: When I was ten years old I wasn't very realistic but I knew I wanted to be very powerful so I thought the dream job would be Wonder Woman. She can fly anywhere, she has the powers to do good and to help everyone and she's very bad ass, so I wanted to be just like her. Unfortunately it didn't come true as I'm not Wonder Woman right now.
Warren: No, I can see that but it seems like you had a good imagination as a kid. But I guess that probably changed as you got older? What about when you were fifteen?
Lindsay: When I was fifteen I still wanted to be very powerful and very strong but I had a more realistic idea of what I wanted to be, but I still didn't know a lot about the world so I just wanted to be a very powerful businesswoman. I had no idea what kind of business and I had no idea what that actually meant but I wanted to wear an all black suit and have a briefcase and go to work in a nice office and drive a nice car and do something that was very powerful but I had no idea really what a powerful businesswoman does.
Warren: That seems like a pretty good dream for a fifteen year old, but I guess you probably had a better idea when you were twenty. So what about then?
Lindsay: When I was twenty then I still wanted to be powerful and strong. I guess you can see the common theme here but then I had an even more realistic idea of actual real professions so at that time I was quite social, I really enjoyed going to parties and I was living in New York at the time so I thought the perfect job for me would be a public relations specialist. I thought I could be one of those people that plans parties or handles the PR, the publicity for celebrities. I had a dream of maybe working for Madonna or working for a famous TV show and handling all their publicity representation.
Warren: That's great. It seems like you had a better idea by the time you were twenty. I guess you probably have some dreams now even, so what kind of dreams do you have now?
Lindsay: Well then when I was twenty, I was quite egotistical. I just wanted, I only thought about myself and how I could have more money and be more powerful but then something changed when I started traveling and seeing the world where I decided that I'd rather have a job that does something good for the world and gives back to the community and to the people. So now I'm a teacher and I really enjoy that and the idea of making a difference in people's lives and in the future maybe when I get older, I hope to start an animal shelter so that when animals are left on the street or abandoned they can come to my shelter and I can provide a happy home for them.
Warren: Wow, that's a great vision for the future.
Lindsay: Thanks.

你好,新托福听力三大备考策略: 第一、单词为主,语法护航 新托福考试中,如果我们
听不懂文章,直接的原因就是词汇不认识。也就是说,词汇是我们托福备考的最大障碍。如果我们连 aphid 这个单词都不认识,如何能够听懂蚂蚁的生活习性和食物来源的文章?如果我们连
dinosaur 都不认识,如何能够理解大型生物的生活习性及如何灭绝的?抑或是不认识火山场景中
的volcanic、lava 等词汇,又何尝能理解关于关于微生物的生活习性的文章?所以,单词将会起
着决定性的作用。 如果哪一天我们的词汇没有问题了,那么之后的问题一般就会是“听单个单
词绝对可以听懂,但是为什么放在句子里就什么也听不懂了呢”?这是因为我们背的是单词,但是
考试考查的是句子,而且句子有简单句、复合句、复杂句之分。我们日常使用的最多的是简单句,但是考试,一般来讲,考查的最多的恰恰是复合句和复杂句,所以,对于我们的基本的语法知识,各位托福备考的同学可以有意识的强化一下复合句和复杂句的知识。这样在考试中,自己才会明白到底什么地方会是考点。一般来讲,what 引导的从句和强调句肯定会是相关的考点。比如:what surprised us is the fact that 等句型。 第二、明白具体的场景和出题规则 一般来讲
,托福考试作为标准的模块化考试,其出题的规律是不变的,听力材料千变万化,但是,我们应该明白最核心的最本质的考点是不变的。下面结合笔者3次参加新托福考试的经历来谈谈托福听力中的几大必考类型题目。 1、优缺点必考 此类题目一般集中于典型的高科技、生物化学类听力当中。比如笔者2008年2月14日参加过的考试中,有一篇听力考到了科学家利用细菌来去除海洋污染物的文章,文章中清晰地给出了此方法的优点和缺点,缺点的题目是一个多选题,基本就是原文中的比较耗费时间和速度比较慢等。所以,对于此类文章,一定要明白其相关的结构,这样才可以在考试中游刃有余。 2、原因、结果类必考 任何类型的lecture 题目当中都有可能会考到此类问题,一般来讲,表示原因的听力内容特别值得我们关注,但是由于我们日常接触的原因类词汇只有一个,所以会误以为只有because 是必考的,但是事实上,表示原因的还有since, as, for, the reason is that 等表达方式,这就需要我们的日常积累等。 3、专业名词必
考 在托福听力中,我们经常会听到类似的说法如“this is what we call + 专有名词”,
或者“this is +现象”。 一般来讲,此类专有名词是我们所不熟悉的,但是会用一种比较简单
的方式表达出来,或者更难的考法是用另一个专有名词来解释一个专有名词,那么考点非常明显了,就是考察what is the definition for+ 专业名词。不管考试题目如何千变万化,考试的要点
是不变的。具体的试题题目可参阅下TPO 的第四套题目的关于动物行为的那一篇文章。 4、小
于五的数字必考 此类题目一般会出现我们所谓的多选题,一般会考到具体的作用、表现形式、
逻辑关系等,具体的题目在巴朗中多为常见,比如考到具体的绘画的三种作用,四种排水系统等,或者是修正主义对于早期农业的消极影响的三个方面表达等。需要各考生注意的是,专业名词在此类听力中可以适当使用缩略语以减少听力笔记时间。 5、例子必考 此类听力题目中经常会使用具体的简单的例子来解释某一专业说法,比如会使用我们放在冰箱里的食物会变坏这个例子来说明细菌的作用,也会使用自行车的轮子来说明某种排水系统,也会使用某一历史事件来说明绘画的具体作用。所以,当听力中出现for example, for instance, let’s say, let’s put it
this way, just like, just as, as we all know 等说法时,我们一定要保持足够的警觉。希

这是一篇关于人的意志力和三人对话:
M: hi, Dan, what are u doing?
D: I am playing war craft.
M: Where is Tommy?
D: Shiiiii!
M:What? What's the matter?
D: Don't u see? He is still sleeping.
M: My goodness! I can't believe this! It’s almost nine. He got to get up now. Don't u remember we are required to make up a three people dialogue for tomorrow's oral class?
D: Yes, I do. You wake up Tommy and I will play one more round of war craft.
M: You'd better stop playing right now. We don't have much time to prepare this dialogue. Tommy! Tommy! Wake up! Time to wake up!
T:five more minutes, please.
Mike: No way, Jose. Time really flies.We still have a lot to do. Hurry up.
T: (Tommy sits up in his bed) Can I lie down two more minutes, please, just two more minutes? when Danny finishes his game, I will be fine.(Yawns) I don't know why I am so so sleepy. (Tommy lies down again.)
M: Guys!!! I am really angry now. Time waits for nobody. If you two don't stop what you are doing now, I will find somebody else to be my partners.
D and T: all right. All right. We listen to u.
M: That's more like it. We need will power.
D and T: what is will power?
M: Will power is trying hard not to do something that you really want to do.
D: You mean like trying not to play war craft?
Mike: right.
T: you mean like trying not to stay up late?
M: right.
Danny turns off his computer. Tommy gets up and goes to the bathroom.
Two minutes later the three maskeetters are working on their assignment.
Danny: Mike, can I take a little break? Let me play one round and we will continue our work?
Tommy: Mike, Can I lie down a minute? My back hurts.
Mike: No! No! No! Let's finish our work first before we do anything. We need will power!!!
Danny and Tommy: that's true. We need will power! We listen to you
M: hi, Dan, what are u doing?
