In the 1980s and 1990s, young people in the UK became wealthier on average. As a result, they started to go abroad in groups to places such as Spain and Greece. British holidaying habits have begun to change, however. Because going abroad is more expensive, more British people are choosing to spend their summer holidays in the UK.How to Speak Good English Good morning，ladies and gentlemen. Having authentic and polished oral English is every learners dream, however，(1) many of my students spent a lot of years，money and efforts on speaking this language well but failed to be able to communicate and speak out，the reason to which might be mainly the lack of confidence and right methods. (2) Many English learners have no courage to start a topic and face m awkward silence after the initial greeting was given，thus the conversation comes to an end. Here I would like to give you some advice on how to speak good English. There are 3-D methods (Dialogue, Discussion and Debate) to improve your eloquence. First of all，its important to be involved in dialogues. I notice that many students do well in speaking when conducting a prepared speech or presentation in class. (3) But speaking English fluently is not just about making presentations and giving speeches. It is about expressing your ideas and insight on the mm mundane of things around you.The ability to make dialogues is very important in social communication. (4) Topics for casual conversation could include the weather, education, music, current affairs, hobbies, travel, etc. Do not always ask foreigners “what is your name and how is your job” when you want to find one to practice your English with. Before going to English Corner, please read up on your area of interest and try framing sentences to express your opinions. (5) Talk about it with someone close to you or someones higher than yours, so you can check for your language accuracy and fluency .Secondly, discussion and debate play a key role. (6) I always enlighten my students that your ability and academic achievements are very important and imperative，but the most important of all is your eloquence to communicate in the personal relationships. Elite may not have eloquence, but an eloquent person must be an elite.Of course, other methods may work，too. Many students do want to improve their English by all means. (7) Its self-evident that all of us like taking down notes when we are listening to the lectures given by teachers at school. But its not a correct way to speak good language. (8) Unless you use the language every day, you will never know how good you are at it. Ask your friends who are good at English to help. Try to speak it as much as possible, and let them interrupt you whenever you make mistakes and ask them to correct you. (9) Do not feel embarrassed to make mistakes，for that is the only way you will learn. Enjoy losing face and enjoy making mistakes because that is the way how the process of acquiring fluency in a language occurs.Then, there are attitudes that count most. (10) If you do want to learn something well, you are supposed to have confidence and passion. And that is why I hope all of you can be confident and for what you have done and what you will be doing.Finally, I want to say: try to be confident and passionate in the journey of study and life; all you need is a will to learn and the initiative to begin.对话1W: We continue now with something to think about as you plan your summer vacation. Now a growing group of travelers are finding comfort in a full-fledged home away from home. And here with more is Travelzoo editor Gabe Saglie. Good morning，Gabe.M: Good to see you.W: I would love to go away and rent a house. A lot more people are doing it，so is this a trend?M： Well. I love the great hotel，and hotels are always going to be the No. 1 choice really for travelers. (1-1) They are convenient，easy to book and you know what you are getting. But more people are traveling today than ever before, for a greater variety of reasons than ever before. (1-2) So vacation rentals offer probably greater options now, depending on the kind of trip that you want to take. Youre literally renting somebodys home, right?W: Yes. (2-1) You usually think its going to be more expensive automatically than a hotel would be, bug thats often not the case. The only concern that I might raise would be that, with a hotel, if you have any problems, you go and complain to the management. You are going to need that same level of service if you have any problems in a rental type situation.M: The answer is yes. I mean, you neednt worry about that, (2-2) because they can provide level of service to you. But you have to do a little bit more homework on your own to guarantee that, first of all, you are protecting your investment. (3) Do a vacation memo，see the reviews by former renters, and get a contract before you send any money. Use a credit card instead of cash, or money order, and make sure you get an array of contact information once you are at the vacation rental.W: What about a couple romantic get-away? In some cases, you say, that sounds like an ideal.M: Yes. My wife and I have spent a large sum of money on a hotel in Hawaii. (4) But if now we are considering a vacation rental, we like making our own breakfast in the morning, almost feeling like we get some of the management we have at home, while traveling thousands of miles away from home.W: Do you have any particular locations where they are better to rent and do the hotel thing?M：(5) Cities like New York，San Francisco, Chicago with a hotel industry just as good as it can be, the hotel is probably the best way to go in those peak seasons. In other areas like Florida Southern California, Hawaii，Mexico, vacation rentals could be a great option for you.W： Good stuff here. Gabe Sagile, good to see you again. Thanks.M： See you then. Happy travels.1.Which of the following is NOT the advantage of hotels?2.What is the advantage of vocation rentals?3.Which of the following do you NOT need to do to ensure your renting safety?4.What is the advantage of choosing vacation rentals for couples instead of hotels?5.Which of the following is NOT the area where vacation rentals are a good option?对话2M： Eating the right dishes can lift our spirits and swallow up stress. Well, here with more on how food affects our mood is Doctor Susan Kleiner，a nutritionist, and the author of the Good Mood Diet. Susan, good morning.W: Good morning，Kim Bold.M: Are there foods that actually have happy chemicals in them?W: Oh, absolutely. (6) You know，how we feel, how we cope with stress，how we think，how clearly we think are all directly affected by the foods that we eat.M：OK. As for me, Pizza would be my happy food. But those arent the foods that actually make you happy. Right?W：Well, it could be. You know，both of those are part of it. But there are foods that really directly affect our brain with certain chemicals. Fish is really a big happy food. Its got protein in brain, and (10-1) it is free of fats and full of vitamin D. All of those help raise our neural chemistry and that makes us feel happy. Potatoes, cereals, great carps actually get the protein into the brain. Fruits and vegetables, (7-1) milk and dairy products, all are great for raising mood. And crunchy foods, like popcorn, are fabulous for making us feel happy.M: OK. Then you got a very happy dinner, right?W: Yes.M: OK. Let s talk about stressed-out food or foods that you do tend to eat when you，re stressed. People interviewed said that they might prefer anything salty, or a piece of chocolate, or even some kind of drinks. Well, as far as you are concerned，what are the real stress busters?W：Well. (8 - 1) Healthy fats，believe it or not，are great for coping with stress，such as nuts, seeds, olive, olive oil and etc. (10 - 2) A great stress buster: peanuts and peanut butter.M：Yes.W：(7-2)(8-2) And then again，dairy foods are great. They help reduce stress and decrease anxiety and anger. And so again，(8- 3)combinations get in protein and vitamin B6. So (10 - 3) lean beef and turkey are good choices. Making yourself a turkey sandwich on the whole-grain bread seems a great idea.M：OK, our final mood here is energetic. How to be energetic? People w
