Unfortunately, learning it like this tends to make you feel distant and bored. The truth is, most people in English-speaking countries dont speak to each other in such a formal way. They speak in a casual way to their friends and families. When speaking casually, people tend to use a lot of informal or colloquial words, and also shorten and connect their phrases. They say things like Hey, whats up? or Hey! Whatcha been doin? These expressions are both common and natural, and make you seem like a native speaker. Using them may make people more interested in talking to you. This type of English is more like what you will hear in movies and TV shows. Speaking this way makes native speakers feel more relaxed and you will sound like a friendly person who speaks English well. You got that, buddy?参考答案1:formal formally casual common native relaxed friendly 参考答案1:attention closing five checkouts leave Speaking out听力原文:Hi!

What about you?Jane:Well, when I first started college, I majored in physics, but later I realized I might have a hard time finding a job in that field.Jane:I ended up changing to computer science.

Right. Actually, Im working part-time at a chain store now. It does bring in some money, but I think experience is more important.Further reading听力原文1:University life is a new and different experience for me. First of all, living at the university gives me a sense of responsibility, of being on my own. My parents arent around to say, No, youre not going out tonight. I decide everything for myself. Being around lots of friendly people is another aspect I like about university life. On my first day, when I arrived on campus, I was a bit confused about where I was going. An upperclassman noticed me and asked, Are you a new student? When he found out I was looking for my dorm, he said, Oh, just follow me; thats where Im going. Now, I can really say that I feel comfortable in the dorm because there are so many friendly people around to talk with. Finally, I love having Fridays off; I would not be able to deal with five days of classes in a row. How did I do it in high school? I love sleeping in on Fridays. I guess Im sort of a party animal, but it seems like I go out every Thursday night. It also seems like I dont get home until early the next day! My head hits the pillow and I dont move until Friday afternoon.参考答案1:new and different 参考答案2:on his own 参考答案3:a bit confused 参考答案4:talk with 参考答案5:sleep in 听力原文:I think one of the most important keys to learning English is to establish a regular study program, like planning a few minutes every morning around breakfast time. This idea may sound a little too simple to the learners, because they took English in high school for quite a few years, but they didnt become proficient speakers of the language. As a matter of fact I do not mean that we can become fluent speakers with just a few minutes here and there, but following a regular and consistent course of study can help us on the way to language mastery. In other words, people need to plan out their study by setting realistic and attainable goals from the beginning. Some people get caught up in the craze of learning the language in 30 days, only to give up when they cant perform up to their expectations. And small steps, little by l
