Q:

I’d like to know about fluency.What can I do to feel better when I’m talking to other people? Do you have some ways to learn it faster? Please help me!   —Roberto in Brazil

A:

Roberto wants to know how to become more fluent in English, and this is something you want to be able to do “fast”.

First, if you get to meet English speakers much, the important rule is to listen not just to native speakers of English, but also to very good users of English.If you don’t, then listen to the radio, TV or films in English.

The next step is to notice what it is that speakers of English do, which makes them sound fluent.The first trick(诀窍) is to probably have confidence.Some people think they might make mistakes.Don’t worry about that.Your listeners will usually try hard to understand you — a few grammar mistakes aren’t going to worry them.

What you do need to worry about is pronunciation, especially stress(重音).When you learn a new word or expression, learn it with its stress.Notice how a native speaker says it or look it up in a dictionary.

Another good thing that speakers of English do is to have a few tricks up their sleeves(袖子) for when they need to give themselves thinking time.Sometimes they use “filler sounds” like er, um and so on.

It is also useful to know how to bring other speakers into your conversation so that you keep them interested - and this is often done by asking questions like “What do you think?” “How do you feel about this?” and so on.

So, to become a fluent speaker, you’ll need to put into practice all these kinds of things.And there’s the key: practise, practise, practise.             -Susan Fearn

Speaking to a group can be difficult, but listening to a bad speech is truly a tiresome task—especially when the speaker is confusing. Don’t want to confuse your audience? Follow these suggestions:
【小题1】When it comes to understanding new information, the human brain needs a little time. First, we hear the words; then, we compare the new information to what we already know. If the two are different, we need to pause and think. But a breathless speaker never stops to let us think about what he or she is saying and risks confusing us. Slow it.
【小题2】Sometimes we all start a sentence one way and then switch directions, which is very difficult to follow. When you confuse your listeners with opposing information, you leave the audience wondering what part of the information is right and what part they should remember. Instead of relying and keeping correcting yourself, work to get the facts clear and straight.
【小题3】Jumping from point to point as it comes to your mind puts the onus (责任)on your listeners to make up for your lack of organization. And it’s confusing for them to listen, reorganize, and figure out what you’re saying all at once. But going smoothly from one point to the next helps them understand information more easily. You can arrange things from beginning to end, small to large, top to bottom or by some other order. Just be sure to organize.
【小题4】Repeated use of um, ah, like, you know and some other useless noises can drive an audience crazy. It makes the speaker sound uncertain and unprepared, and it can leave listeners so annoyed that they can’t pay attention. Recently I attended a speech that was marked by so many ums that audience members were rolling their eyes. Was anybody grasping the intended message? Um, probably not.
【小题5】Many speakers finish up their speeches with question-and-answer (Q & A) sessions, but some let the Q & A go on without a clear end. The audience is often left confused about whether the meeting is over and when they can get up and leave. Do your listeners a favour by setting a time limit on questions, and close your speech with a specific signal—even if it’s something simple like, “If you have any more questions, you know where to reach me.”
Or even more to the point, conclude your speech with “Thanks for your time. ”

There are two factors which determine an individual's intelligence. The first is the sort of brain he is born with. Human brains differ considerably, some being more capable than others. But no matter how good a brain he has to begin with, an individual will have a low order of intelligence unless he has opportunities to learn. So the second factor is what happens to the individual—the sort of environment in which he is reared (培养). If an individual is handicapped (妨碍) environmentally, it is likely that his brain will fail to develop and he will never attain the level of intelligence of which he is capable.

The importance of environment in determining an individual's intelligence can be demonstrated by the case history of the identical twins, Peter and Mark X. Being identical, the twins had identical brains at birth, and their growth processes were the same. When the twins were three months old, their parents died, and they were placed in separate foster homes. Peter was reared by parents of low intelligence in an isolated community with poor educational opportunities. Mark was reared in the home of well-to-do parents who had been to college. He was read to as a child, sent to good schools, and given every opportunity to be stimulated intellectually. This environmental difference continued until the twins were in their late teens, when they were given tests to measure their intelligence. Mark's I.Q. was 125, twenty-five points higher than the average and fully forty points higher than his identical brother. Given equal opportunities, the twins, having identical brains, would have tested at roughly the same level.

1.This passage can be best titled_________.

A.Intelligence and Environment

D.How the brain Influences Intelligence

2.According to the passage, the average I.Q. is _____.

A.85               B.125              C.110              D.100

3.The case history of the twins appears to support the conclusion that _______.

A.individual with identical brains seldom test at same level

B.an individual's intelligence is determined only by his environment

C.changes of environment produce changes in the structure of the brain

D.lack of opportunity blocks the growth of intelligence

4.This passage suggests that an individual's I.Q.______.

A.can be increased by education

B.stays the same throughout his life

C.can be predicted at birth

D.is determined by his childhood
