麦很平凡,就像是乡间田头的小土块;每日仰望蓝天,难免也有叹息。。。

经典美文

订阅www.worldstart.com 电脑类读物很久了,从最初的日刊到目前的周刊,我对署名为steve撰写的各类深入浅出、活泼风趣的类技术文章深感兴趣,时至今日,邮箱内保存了不下200封mail,许多英文佳作深埋其中,日后想要翻挖出来细细品读看来也不太实际,于是就想到是否可以经常摘录一些精彩片断张贴到博客呢,以后查阅起来也方便。

词汇是活的,只有在具体语境中才有可能把握它特定的涵义。以前在读到自己感兴趣的话题时,特别容易记住单词的读写规则及在例句中的使用。若真要通过背诵培养语感,坊间有不少现成的教材可以推荐如陈冠商主编的“英语背诵文选”,选用篇章以文学类为主。新东方一向提倡实用性,他们推出的背诵类教材天文地理几乎无所不包,可以迅速扩大词汇量,但不一定适合表情朗读。

以下文字摘自邮件中“daily thoughts”那一段
——achievement is the knowledge that you have studied and worked hard and done the best that is in you. Success is being praised by others and that's nice too, but not as important or satisfying. Always aim for achievement and forget about success.--Helen Hayes
