A Boy and His Tree
男孩和树
A long time ago, there was a huge apple tree. A little boy loved to come and play around it every day. He climbed to the tree top, ate the apples, took a nap under the shadow… He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him.
Time went by…The little boy had grown up and he no longer played around the tree.
One day, the boy came back to the tree and looked sad. “Come and play with me,” the tree asked the boy.
“I am no longer a kid, I don’t’ play around trees anymore.” The boy replied, “I want toys. I need money to buy them.” “Sorry, but I don’t have money…but you can pick all my apples and sell them. So, you will have money.” The boy was so excited. He picked all the apples on the tree and left happily. The boy didn’t come back after he picked the apples. The tree was sad.
One day, the boy returned and the tree was so excited. “Come and play with me.” The tree said. “I don’t have time to play. I have to work for my family. We need a house for shelter. Can you help me?” “Sorry, but I don’t’ have a house. But you can cut off my branches to build your house.” So the boy cut all the branches of the tree and left happily.
The tree was glad to see him happy but the boy didn’t appear since then. The tree was again lonely and sad. One hot summer day, the boy returned and the tree was delighted. “Come and play with me!” the tree said.
“I am sad and getting old. I want to go sailing to relax myself. Can you give me a boat?” “Use my trunk to build the boat. You can sail and be happy.” So the boy cut the tree trunk to make a boat. He went sailing and did not show up for a long time.
Finally, the boy returned after he left for so many years. “Sorry, my boy. But I don’t’ have anything for you anymore. No more apples for you.” the tree said. “ I don’t have teeth to bite.” The boy replied. “ No more trunk for you to climb on.” “I am too old for that now.” the boy said. “I really want to give you something…the only thing left is my dying roots.” The tree said with tears. “I don’t’ need much now, just a place to rest. I am tired after all these years.” The boy replied. “Good! Old tree roots are the best place to lean on and rest. Come here, please sit down with me and have a rest.” The boy sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears…
This is a story of everyone. The tree is our parent. When we were young, we loved to play with Mom and Dad… When we grow up, we leave them, and only come to them when we need something or when we are in trouble. No matter what, parents will always be there and give everything they could to make you happy. You may think that the boy is cruel to the tree but that"s how all of us are treating our parents.
了一年的雅思了,前三次都是摸爬滚打,参加了不少培训班,也自己尝试了不少自以为符合自己的学习方法,尽管一次比一次有所进步,但始终考不出一个7分。因为我移民到加拿大需要两个7分。后来在赖老师的帮助下,发现自己的学习方法有误,以前做了不少无用功。这一次在赖老师的指导下,5月14日在深圳考出了一个7.5,一个7,两个6分的好成绩。下面我想谈谈自己的一点体会,希望对广大雅思应试者能有所帮助。
从前我对付听力的方法是反复听大量的模拟试题,结果发现,无论听再多的磁带,水平总在5-5.5分左右徘徊。后来又幻想通过机经的帮助冲上7分。第三次考试机经中了4个部分,我根本不听录音带,全部将答案填上答卷,自以为肯定能上7-8分,结果只有6.5。后来赖老师给了我一套听力提高的复习资料,在听的过程中真可谓无比痛苦。但当我将内容反复听直到听懂为止,回过头来再来做模拟试题时就觉得简直是小菜一碟。将机经背熟肯定有用,尤其是对区分哪些是重点要听,哪些是不需要花太多功夫的,以及的确没听懂的十分有用,但切不可完全照搬机经答案,还是要相信自己听到的答案,有一些答案我能听出与机经不同。
关于阅读,我的体会就是必须要理解所问的问题。G类第一第二部分绝对不能采取A类阅读所采取的战略,必须快速准确地读完全文,否则即使第三部分就算做完全对,由于一二部分丢分太多,也难以考出高分。反之,一二部分准确率得到保证,就算第三部分不能全部完成也有可能考出7分以上的成绩。以前我都是采用尽量快速地做完第一二部分,争取时间来做第三部分,最差一次考了4.5。赖老师根据我的个人情况,要求我各花25分钟来完成第一二部分,而剩10分钟去做第三部分,他将一些可以蒙猜的题型告诉我,要我最后不够时间就用上。实际考试中我只有凭实力力求准确地做了31题,后面9道题全都按赖老师的方法在最后一分钟给压上去,因为当时最后一个部分只剩7分钟了。考完心里一直忐忑不安,可结果7.5分出来证明这种策略完全正确!
写作过去我以为论据越多越好,以至于在考试中老感到时间不够。赖老师告诉我,只要两个就足够,甚至一个也行,只要有说服力而且能够自然展开。这次考试虽然没考上7分,但我提前5分钟完成了全部写作。以前总觉得很多中文意思不知如何用英文表达,赖老师建议我用原版英文的中文翻译译回英文,再与原版英文对照。我每天坚持翻译至少一段,现在感觉用英文表达已不再困难,而且还可写出些漂亮的句子。
口语我过去的方法是自己将雅思可能要考的题事先准备好,然后在考官面前背诵,以为毫不停顿地说下去就可考出高分,结果每次都是5分,令我感到十分迷惑。赖老师说他一听就知道是背诵的,要我自然发挥就行了,适当的地方要有停顿。口语我本来是放弃练习了,因为考5分就够了,得了6分有点意外惊喜。
终于扫除了移民加拿大的最大障碍,我体会最深的就是:正确有效的学习方法和考试技巧对考7太重要了。
我要表现得像个女士(笑话)
One day when women's dresses were on sale at the Far East Department Store, a dignified middle-aged man decided to get his wife a piece. But he soon found himself being battered by frantic women.
He stood it as long as he could; then, with head lowered and arms flailing(用力挥动), he plowed through the crowd.
"You there!" challenged a thrill voice. "Can't you act like a gentleman?"
"Listen," he said, "I have been acting like a gentleman for an hour. From now on, I am acting like a lady."

A Good Boy
Little Robert asked his mother for two cents. "What did you do with the money I gave you yesterday?"
"I gave it to a poor old woman," he answered.
"You're a good boy," said the mother proudly. "Here are two cents more. But why are you so interested in the old woman?"
"She is the one who sells the candy."
好孩子
小罗伯特向妈妈要两分钱。
“昨天给你的钱干什么了?”
“我给了一个可怜的老太婆,”他回答说。 “你真是个好孩子,”妈妈骄傲地说。“再给你两分钱。可你为什么对那位老太太那么感兴趣呢?”
“她是个卖糖果的。”
