Plastic Pollution
USHA JESUDASAN
Walk down any city street or village road, turn any corner, find a spot atthe beach or in a park and you will find mounds and mounds of dirty plasticbags, food wrappings, plastic cups, bottles and cartons lie piled high, orblocking drainage systems and sewers. The road outside our house is litteredwith flimsy multi-coloured plastic bags. The wind blows these bags into the opengutter. The bags collect and block the gutter which then spills on to the road.Mosquitoes thrive in the stagnant water. Pigs and rats wallow in the slime,carrying disease. The place stinks and the air is polluted. The garbage menrefuse to clean the gutters... they are only paid to clear the litter off thestreets! So the clutter and slime increases every week.
Who is responsible for all this litter and mess and the pollutedatmosphere? We are of course! Every one of us. Although each one of uscontributes to the problem, none of us is willing to be part of the solution toit. So the Tamil Nadu Government is keen on taking a drastic step to curb theuse of plastics and make the roads clean and environmentally safe. Thegovernment's desire to introduce a bill that would ban plastic bags and otherplastic items is a desperate attempt to control the huge environmental andhealth hazards that face us today.
Despite my desire to see a clean environment and have a clean road I wonderwhat will we do without all the plastic things in our lives? The many uses ofdisposable plastic that we use everyday comes to mind, gloves, pens, cups,bottles, cans — can we really do without these?
Do we see the proposed ban as a necessary measure? Or will it be foughtagainst with passion by the plastic industry? Each year, as industry producesmore and more non-essential products individually and excessively packaged inplastic, we throw away more and more trash. Plastic razors can only be used afew times before disposal, then more must be bought, making the plastic andrazor industries rich and happy. Pens used to be filled with ink, today we usethem, throw them away and go out and buy another one. The pen industries make alot of money too. Many household appliances are designed to become obsoletewithin a short duration and that guarantees that you'll just have to buy newones next year.
To a large extent, our garbage problem is a result of a corporate businessethic that puts profits before people and the environment. Industry pushes theadvantages of "disposability'' to the public because it suits them and it payswell. The profit from disposability goes into the pockets of only a few but thehazards of disposability are faced by many more.
The proposed ban makes me realise that each one of us should develop asense of responsibility not just towards the litter on our roads but alsotowards the things we buy and use and throw away.
2.雅思口語(yǔ)自學(xué)方法
1. 長(zhǎng)期戰(zhàn)略
1)看所有你能買到的英文電影或電視。篜RISON BREAK, SEX AND CITY,FRIENDS等等,看一遍中文字幕,再看一遍英文字幕;
2)把自己隨時(shí)做成“英語(yǔ)角”:廁所英語(yǔ)角,公共汽車英語(yǔ)角,自問自答。
3)背誦固定的表達(dá)結(jié)構(gòu),比如:
I like living in Guangzhou. The best thing about living here is the food.It is of high quality and reasonable price. And you always get great services inrestaurants! Another wonderful thing is the climate. I just love warm weather. Ican not stand the cold climate in the North!
2. 考前沖刺戰(zhàn)略
1)每天回答一整套口語(yǔ)考題,不在乎回答得好與壞,只在乎流利,落落大方,有話可說(shuō)
2)把一個(gè)題目回答3次;先用英語(yǔ);再用中文(可以反復(fù)講幾次中文,直到邏輯清晰);再用英文。
3)在口試前1個(gè)小時(shí),進(jìn)入純英語(yǔ)狀態(tài),不停地說(shuō)話,隨便說(shuō)什么都可以。哪怕你大聲說(shuō):I’m so nervous, can you seethat
很多中國(guó)學(xué)生對(duì)簡(jiǎn)單的語(yǔ)言往往不屑一顧,只求理解而不去嘗試著使用自己學(xué)到的東西。中國(guó)學(xué)生在學(xué)英語(yǔ)中喜歡追求一個(gè)字"難"。盡管學(xué)了很多難的東西,卻不會(huì)"用"。而事實(shí)上,簡(jiǎn)單的東西如能靈活、準(zhǔn)確地使用才是真正重要的。比如從口語(yǔ)來(lái)說(shuō),人們并不是看一個(gè)人會(huì)說(shuō)多么難的單詞,關(guān)鍵在于看他能否熟練運(yùn)用簡(jiǎn)單的單詞、句型、語(yǔ)法來(lái)表達(dá)情感、思想。英語(yǔ)國(guó)家人們?nèi)粘I畹慕涣魇峭ㄟ^有限數(shù)量的單詞和簡(jiǎn)單的句型來(lái)完成的。
1. 造就成就感,培養(yǎng)自信。
2. 增加興趣。
3. 語(yǔ)言朗朗上口。
4. 易于學(xué)以致用。
學(xué)習(xí)語(yǔ)言以上四點(diǎn)很重要,堅(jiān)持不懈,從不間斷。熟記常用語(yǔ),確保準(zhǔn)確無(wú)誤。把常用的交際用語(yǔ)背熟,熟能生巧。敢于開口說(shuō)英語(yǔ),不要怕犯錯(cuò)誤。人人都會(huì)犯錯(cuò),這是在所難免的,只要敢說(shuō),就一定能學(xué)好。要?jiǎng)?chuàng)設(shè)情景,加強(qiáng)交際訓(xùn)練。語(yǔ)言的運(yùn)用離不開場(chǎng)景的強(qiáng)化訓(xùn)練,只有交際,才能學(xué)好。
3.雅思口語(yǔ)怎樣回答切題
對(duì)于雅思口語(yǔ)考試,很多考生都感到迷惑,不知道怎么回答才叫切題。有的學(xué)生認(rèn)為只要是聽明白老師的問題順著往下說(shuō)就可以。只要中間沒有太多的停頓就行。所以這部分考生更注重說(shuō)口語(yǔ)的流利度。而另一部分學(xué)生,他們更注重語(yǔ)音語(yǔ)調(diào)的練習(xí),認(rèn)為發(fā)音是雅思口語(yǔ)的重頭戲。
其實(shí)雅思口語(yǔ)考試不是僅僅考察學(xué)生的語(yǔ)音,語(yǔ)調(diào)和流利度,而是考核考生整體的交流技能。而這個(gè)交流技能在考試過程中是從具體的測(cè)試方向進(jìn)行衡量的,衡量方向包括口語(yǔ)詞匯數(shù)量的大小,說(shuō)話的時(shí)候是不是有邏輯,句法掌控的怎樣,句型變化的情況,句子之間的銜接,以及對(duì)習(xí)語(yǔ)的應(yīng)用等等。有的學(xué)生覺得這么多條條框框考試的時(shí)間又那么短,不可能都記得清清楚楚的。這里考生需要注重的一個(gè)問題就是,考試的時(shí)候回答問題一定要切題。
其實(shí)雅思口語(yǔ)和作文很相似,口語(yǔ)中對(duì)給出的話題一定要切入主題,不然就會(huì)被考官認(rèn)為是跑題。但是前提條件是一定要把題目聽明白了才行。對(duì)于跑題的概念我們來(lái)舉出具體的例子說(shuō)明;
問題:Do you like reading books? 很多考生回答:Yes, I do. I like reading booksvery much。
對(duì)于這個(gè)答案,很多學(xué)生都認(rèn)為老師問的問題太簡(jiǎn)單了,我只能這么回答。而很多老師對(duì)于這個(gè)答案也耳熟了。老師提醒各位考生的是,這個(gè)回答不算跑題,但是太過于簡(jiǎn)單了。想拿高分的考生不能老師一問Doyou....。然后你就回答Yes, I do....。這樣的話。感覺像是在背課文?梢杂肙f course, Definitely, Sure,和Certainly來(lái)做個(gè)替換,然后把后面I like的賓語(yǔ)提前說(shuō)出來(lái),就變成了Reading books is one of my favourites in my free time. And it can enlarge my imagination and widen the scope ofknowledge。這樣回答既能保證不太俗套,內(nèi)容也比較充實(shí)。對(duì)于口語(yǔ)第一部分的問題,建議考生不要回答的內(nèi)容過多。只要切題,答出要點(diǎn)就可以了。如果考官讓你談?wù)勀愕募亦l(xiāng),首先要?dú)w納重點(diǎn)要說(shuō)的內(nèi)容,然后把其中的一個(gè)擴(kuò)展就行。不要沒完沒了的說(shuō)很多,老師還會(huì)認(rèn)為你是背誦出來(lái)的呢。
