Pumas are large, cat-like animals which are found in America. When reports came into London Zoo that a wild puma had been spotted forty-five miles south of London, they were not taken seriously. However, as evidence began to accumulate, experts from the Zoo felt obliged to investigate, for the descriptions given by people who claimed to have seen the puma were extraordinarily similar.
符號摘錄如下:
puma—large—cat—america
report (wild puma 45 S L)----L zoo→not seriously
←→evidence↑=>expert(zoo) obliged to investigate←description—people claim see---similar
Lessons of New Concept English never fail to fascinate their learners. They can be useful and interesting towards the learners, but they require great efforts as well. They never become boring like TEOFL and GRE. As result, participants have learned how to improve their English independently and pleasantly. Most lessons remain characteristic of their own. One of the things that fascinate us most about these lessons is the popular belief that they can help learners grasp the authentic English language. Apparently, there is a good idea of truth in this idea. A learner’s ability to survive examinations is based on the fact.
Recently, the New Oriental School made a study of 132 learners over a period of five months. All these learners had one experience in common: they had participated in the course of NCE, yet only eight of them fail in the exam of TOEFL. Of course, New Oriental School is the ideal place for such an interesting study, because there is no shortage of excellent learners. There are plenty of legends to investigate. One student, Sabrina, took 32 examinations, yet only suffer from one failure. “Our learners behave like well-trained linguists,” a teacher said. It seems that the longer the learners stick to NCE, the less they are likely to fail in any exam. In the long run, they reach the advanced level of English and higher. At high levels, excellent learners have more time to practice. They use English like native speakers. This increases their chances of success and reduces the risk of employment when they hit the ground of the United States.
