英文单词将满百万 莎士比亚布什是"造字高手"2009年5月7日 16:47
来源:中国新闻网 选稿:王逾婷

　　东方网5月7日消息：据台湾中广新闻报道，再有人说学英文要背字典，不妨叫他自己慢慢背，因为英文即将要有一百万个字了。美国有一群人从六年前起，每天到处查找新出现的英文字，然后把这些字放进他们的资料库里。据他们估算，英文每天会有十四点七个字加入，现在有九十多万字，到下个月十号就会出现第一百万字。

　　他们现在已经收集了一些字，只不过还不知道，到时候是哪个字会以第一百万字的顺序进入资料库。现在有可能成为第一百万字的有defriend(去友)，把某人从自己的朋友名单中踢除，greenwashing(漂绿)，经过包装看起来环保，noob(菜鸟)，一种新网络游戏。

　　莎士比亚时代，也就是三百多年前，英文只有十万字。莎士比亚觉得不够用，自己创造了大约一千七百个新字。这一阵子，造字的名人是美国前总统布什。他常因为不小心说错话，而创造新字。例如“错误低估”(misunderestimate)就是他的杰作。

现在年老体迈再动手动脚是不大可能啦   看过霍英东  见过李嘉诚 都知道抱紧红色祖国才能把自己的演艺事业上升到一个高度了  所以在公众场合喊话很可以理解的
从他和吴绮莉生下私生女 公然在记者招待会上说自己犯了全天下男人都会犯的错误
已经把自己深深的定格在跑龙套的角色了  想真的留名与华夏 除非真的观众都认可这种没情操的丑角

When I am drunken, I feel relax

When I am drunken, I feel I am truly myself

When I am drunken, I feel free

I don't care whoever thinks who I am

I just feel I am myself

I feel life

I feel the goodness

I feel ... things

Again, when I am drunken, I am myself.

The Recommended Retail Price (RRP)is the suggested selling price that the manufacturer, distributor orimporter provides to us at the time of our purchase of each product.
At the time of listing each item for sale, we doour own research to establish whether each suggested price isrealistic. If we determine it is, then this is the price that wepublish as our supplier's Recommended Retail Price.If our research indicates that a price is notrealistic then we discuss this with the supplier and ask them toprovide us with a revised Recommended Retail Price.As market prices are dynamic, we cannot guarantee the current accuracy of a Recommended Retail Price.We therefore recommend you do your own research as to market pricesbefore you purchase. We do however GUARANTEE that you will always paythe lowest price when shopping with us. Please refer to our 120% Price Smash Policy for full details.We will always update a Recommended Retail Priceimmediately upon becoming aware of changes to the suggested retailprice by our supplier. We also welcome all feedback that enables us tokeep our suppliers updated as to current market prices.Where we are the importer of a product we do not publish a Recommended Retail Priceunless that identical item is readily available in the marketplace. Inthese cases we will publish the selling price in the market as the Recommended Retail Price.

Brad Pitt: King of Japan                                
                                                                                                            

While Brad Pitt is a huge star here in America, I am fairlyconfident he's the biggest thing since Pachinko in Japan based on thesheer number of commercials he films for them. B. Pitty was snapped onthe set of a brand new one yesterday that featured him playingchauffeur to a sumo wrestler.
Or at least I think he's a Sumo -- that assumption must be annoyingfor fat Japanese men who aren't sumo wrestlers. I guess our equivalentis assuming all Southerners are farmers, or Seattle-ites work in coffeeshops.
For those of you who aren't familiar with Brad's foreign work, I'vecompiled the five best Japanese ads for your viewing pleasure. And whenit comes to that Rolex one, I do mean pleasure!

In the IELTS test, time is your enemy. Candidates who have taken the test and did not perform as well as they had hoped often complain that they were unable to give all the answers in the Listening Test because the tape was too fast, and that they ran out of time in the Reading Test.

To begin with, do not worry if you do not finish the tests. Remember, the test is designed to measure candidates over a range of scores from 0 to 9 (0 indicates the test was not attempted). Candidates whose English is near perfect can expect to score 9, but even native English-speaking people would be unlikely to complete every Listening Test answer perfectly or finish the Reading Test a long time before the examination ends. Remember, the test is meant to be challenging.

The IELTS test measures many aspects of your English ability including the speed at which you listen, read, write, speak, and think in English. Your personal speed is not something which changes a great deal from day to day, but does change considerably over a longer period of time, as a direct result of practice in working with the English language.

Your personal speed and ability in the 5 areas previously mentioned is pretty well fixed at any given time. The official IELTS Band Scores you receive are extremely accurate, since each test is trialled extensively to achieve standardised results for candidates at all English levels. Nonetheless, there are certainly many things you can do, before and on the day of the test, to help maximise the use of your time and give yourself the best chance of success.

Consider the following situation: although a racing car cannot go faster than its maximum speed, the race can still be won, and its maximum speed maintained for longer, if an expert driver is at the wheel. An expert racing car driver will:

? ? spend a great deal of time practising at the wheel before race day
? ? visit the track so that he or she knows where to go and what to expect
? ? get enough sleep before the day of the big race
? ? eat a good breakfast on race day morning;
? ? check his or her watch constantly to monitor the car?s progress
? ? keep moving along the track and not get stuck on a bad corner
? ? breathe long and deeply to relax and keep the oxygen going to the brain
? ? drink water (but not too much!) when the car is at the pit-stop.

The Listening, Reading, and Writing Tests are given in that order, and are usually held on a single morning. The combined length of those three tests is 2 hours and 30 minutes. (The Speaking Test is conducted at an appointed time in the afternoon.) Only one short break is given between the Reading and Writing Tests, so you need to be at your best for a long period of time, which is why you must sleep and eat well before the test. The hints and guidelines in this book should help you achieve your ?maximum speed?. The more effort you put in, the faster your personal speed will be on the day. INCREASE YOUR SENTENCE READING SPEED
The faster and more accurately you read, the more questions you will be able to answer. In all the tests, the instructions, the example, and the questions themselves need to be read quickly, and must be well understood in order for you to have more time to find the answers. It pays to increase your overall reading speed.

To increase your reading speed, you must learn to read in groups of words that form logical units of thought within sentences. Look at the following sentence:

Britain has been a popular choice for thousands of international students over many years

Notice how you can think of the sentence as being made up of 3 main parts:

1. Britain has been a popular choice (What and where?)

2. ? for thousands of international students (Who for?)

3. ? over many years. (When?)

Note also, that in this case (and many others) all the phrases answer wh/how questions. It may be helpful at first to think of wh/how questions when trying to read in phrases.

If you read each word in a sentence one at a time, you will read very slowly and most likely misunderstand the meaning of much of what you read. So read your sentences in phrases by considering all the words of a phrase as a single unit.

Notice how much quicker it is to read the sentence, and how the meaning of what you say is more clear. Practise reading in phrases everyday. Look ahead on the page as you read, and always aim to find logical places in the sentences where phrases begin and end. Note also that there is often more than one solution as to where the logical breaks between phrases occur within sentences.

Read faster by reading words in groups that form logical units of thought

DEVELOP A MEMORY FOR ENGLISH
In the Reading Test, it pays to remember as much as you can of what you have just read, but at least the words can be read again. However, in the Listening Test you cannot go back, and the tape is only played once. If the answer comes before the keyword/phrase, your memory of what you have just heard is even more important. Nevertheless, the answer usually follows the keywords/phrases that you hear, and is close in time to the main keyword/phrase you are listening for.

To improve your ?English memory?, try the following exercise. Using the pause button on the tape recorder, repeat the sentences spoken in the passages on the audio cassette tape that comes with this book, gradually increasing the length of what you repeat. Do not worry about repeating the exact words. Simply aim to remember more of what you have heard.

I agree that time costraint is a big problem. I think one can handle listening test if they can hear without any tension. Even If you miss one or two points, keep listening without getting diatracted. Because once you think about something else, you will miss out everything that comes behind it. So you will end up loosing may be 10 answers for missing only 2 answers.
So stay cool while listening.

一般的考官会说很轻松的话，我遇到的考官据说是最严格的一位，但是对我很慈祥，一直在聊天，你住哪里？来澳洲多久？我就回问他，这些问题，这些目的在于不让你紧张。
紧张会让自己和考官都不舒服，稳------法宝。1，稳---你一定把考官当成90岁的老太太，2，稳----另外就是把自己当成出租司机，3，稳------摆正位置，车的位置。紧张一定要克服，战胜自己。稳--------稳定自己的心绪，舒缓情绪，深呼吸5分钟。
我个人的法典，给驾校钱，让老师辅导1小时，然后，他帮你约好考试时间。最后通过考试，总计：300刀。
