Outside view
Do you really want to learn English? Clestino Santee, an English language teacher gives students important advice. M: Please give some advice to those who come to the US to learn English.
W: Well, I’d love to give some suggestions and some advices based on my experience to students learning English. First of all, don’t be afraid to speak to Americans. Americans seem to enjoy meeting people from other countries, and they like to share the information that they have. So if you are afraid to speak to Americans that mean you are passing about an opportunity for communication, which is really what it is all about. It’s not about reading books or learning grammar in some abstract way, it’s more about speaking, communicating learning how real people talk and what they have to say. Um, a good way to do this is to go out in to the community. Another piece of advice I’d like to give to people is try to learn as much about you culture as you can. And I think in that way you’ll be more confident and you’ll also be able to appreciate our culture a little bit better learning about some of the differences but also some of the similarities. M: What is the best age to learn English? W: As a teacher and a tutor I’ve taught all the different ages from, really, people in their 60s and the 70s, all the way down to lowest elementary（小学的） school children. And I found some real differences. Of course, the adults have more traditional based, traditional form of education that they base their form of learning on. Also, in many cases they’re more hesitant to speak. They’re a little bit more embarrassed and they want to make sure that they have the structure of the grammar. However, the young children are like sponges（海绵）. They really just want to soak up every piece of the information. They are not afraid of making mistakes as are the older people. It is so much easier to learn a language when you’re a child. But you know it can be done at any age. And I think it just takes a little bit more of an effort and also the willingness to take risks to appear a little bit of foolish perhaps. But in so doing, if you can laugh at yourself a little bit and your own mistakes then other people feel more comfortable around you. And this makes everybody, and make more comfortable and of course communication is what it’s all about. M: What is the best way to teach English?
W: There’re so many different ways of teaching English. It varies school to school. It varies teacher to teacher. It also varies as to whether you’re taking private lessons with a tutor or if you’re in a large classroom situation. In some ways, it’s great to have a tutor individually because you can have somebody work with you one-on-one. However, there is also an advantage to be able to take a class with students from., not just your country but other countries as well. So therefore, you can communicate with other people, which is again, what it’s all about. You can learn about other cultures in addition to the American culture. You can learn about other cultures. I’ve had students who complain about being in a class with other English-as-a-second-language students, but over all I ha e found that the communication outweighs any disadvantages. So students really enjoy meeting each other and being forced to speak in English.
你真的想学英语吗？clestino桑蒂，英语教师给学生提供了重要的建议。
男：请给我们一些建议来学习英语的人。
女：嗯，我想根据我对学生英语学习的经验，提出一些建议和建议。首先，不要害怕和美国人说话。美国人似乎喜欢上体育课来自其他国家的人，他们愿意分享的信息，他们有。因此，如果你害怕向美国人说话，这意味着你正在通过一个沟通的机会，这是真的是什么。这不是关于阅读书籍或学习语法的一些抽象的方式，它是更多关于说话，交流学习如何真正的人交谈，他们必须说。嗯，一个很好的办法就是在社区里出去。我想给人们的另一条建议是：尽可能多地了解你的文化。我想这样你会更自信，你也可以欣赏我们的文化有点更好地学习一些差异，但也有一些相似之处。男：学习英语的最佳年龄是多少？
W：作为一名教师和一个导师我教的所有不同年龄的人，真的，在他们的60年代和70年代，一直到最低的基础（小学的）学校的孩子们。我发现一些真正的不同CES。当然，成年人有更多传统的基础教育形式，他们以他们为基础的学习形式。同样，在许多情况下，他们更不愿说。他们有点更尴尬，他们想确保他们有语法结构。然而，年轻的孩子就像海绵（海绵）。他们真的只是想把每一块的信息离子。他们不害怕犯错误，因为他们是老年人。当你是孩子的时候，学习一门语言是如此的容易。但你知道它可以在任何年龄。我想我只需要一个一点更多的努力和承担风险的意愿出现一点点愚蠢也许。但这样做，如果你可以嘲笑自己一点点和自己的错误，然后其他在你身边的人感觉更舒服。这让每个人都有了，让人更舒服，当然沟通也就是这样。
男：教英语的最好方法是什么？ '.
.
女：有这么多不同的教学方式。不同学校到学校。老师对老师的不同。这也有不同的变化，无论你是带家教的私人课程，如果你是我大课堂情境。在某些方面，有一个家庭教师是很好的，因为你可以和你在一对一的人工作。然而，也有一个优点是能够采取一个氯与学生一起的，不只是你的国家，而是其他国家。因此，你可以与其他人沟通，这是一次又一次，它的全部。你可以了解其他文化除了美国文化。你可以了解其他文化。我有学生抱怨与其他的把英语作为第二语言班，但我有佛发现沟通胜过任何缺点。所以学生们真的很喜欢互相见面，并且不得不用英语说。
Listening in
P: We have with us today Dr Jonathan Bingham, an expert on disappearing languages. I understand that as many as 2000 languages are in danger of disappearing?
B: Yes. There are more than 6000 languages in the world, and about 2000 of them may disappear. P: Presumably this is because there are very few people left who speak the languages.
B: That’s right. For example, there’s a remote part of the north Australian coast-where a man called Pick lives. There are only three remaining speakers of his Aboriginal language. One lives quite a distance away and the other is his sister who he’s got allowed to speak to because she’s a woman.
P: So with only three speakers that languages is certain to die out, isn’t it?
B: It looks like it. Another, it’s got to be admitted very amusing example-200 years ago a German explorer came across a village near the Orinoco river in Venezuela. He heard a parrot speaking and asked the villagers what is was saying. They said they didn’t know because the parrot had learned is language from its owner. The owner, who had died, was the last person to speak it.
B: Very sad. But nowadays small tribes or peoples get absorbed into the mainstream cultures around them and-have to speak the language or that culture in order to survive. The terrible thing is, when a language disappears, the culture and its traditions tend to disappear too. P: Why is that?
B: Well, for example, there are 28000 Khanty members of an aboriginal people who live in Siberia, in northern Russia-and only 20 of them speak their traditional language well. Now there are words in their language that refer to certain rituals and these words don’t exist in Russian. How can they practice their rituals when they don’t have the words?
P： You ‘re involved in a project that works to preserve endangered languages.
B: Yes, indeed. We visit cultures whose language is endangered and document the language’s grammar, vocabulary, oral traditions-songs, stories, things like that. A language is so rich and there’s so much to learn from it. P: Of course
B: And we also try to keep the language alive through education. Welsh is an excellent example of a language that has been saved. P: Welsh was dying, wasn’t it?
B: Yes, but a lot of effort has been made and now 20 percent of the Welsh population speak Welsh P: So it can be done. B: Yes, it can
P：我们有我们的今天，乔纳森博士的Bingham，一个正在消失的语言专家。我明白，多达2000种语言有消失的危险吗？
乙：是的。世界上有超过6000种语言，其中约有2000种可能会消失。
病人：大概是因为有极少数的人会说这种语言。
乙：对。例如，有一个偏远的北澳大利亚海岸的一名男子称为“挑选生活”。他的土著语言只有三个剩余的人。一个人住得很好距离远，另一个是他的姐姐，他得到了允许，因为她是个女人。
只有三个讲语言的人一定会死的，不是吗？
它看起来像。另一方面，必须承认很有趣example-200年前德国探险家来到附近的村庄在委内瑞拉的奥里诺科河。他听到一只鹦鹉在'.
