A few months later，you will start to teach international students. Today，we will talk about the teaching methods of effective communication.Teaching methods can help increase communication effectiveness. Clearly organizing ideas and writing an outline on the chalkboard that lists the main points to be covered during the class helps students follow along with the organization of ideas. (1) It is also very helpful for students when teachers write technical terms or theoretical concepts on the board as they are mentioned. Students need and appreciate this effort.Student participation in the international teachers classroom is necessary. (2) By setting aside class time for students to explain and discuss their understanding of the course material and the teachers lecture or explanations many communication errors can be corrected before they interfere with student learning.Of course，some difficulties may be assumed to result from language problems when in fact the problem lies elsewhere. (3) When students dont understand，it could be a language problem, but it also could be that the teacher doesnt have good teaching skills. So its important to communicate with students to find out what the problem is.Using effective teaching methods does facilitate classroom communication. As teachers with teaching experience in their native countries already know, when lecturing, it is important to clearly state each point before speaking about it, make the point and then summarize what has been said. (4) Before beginning another idea or point，it，s necessary to inform students of this change or transition.Students are reluctant to continually ask teachers to repeat what theyve said, even when they havent completely understood the teacher. (5) Thus, it is important for teachers to frequently stop to if students have any questions. (6) Another method often used by both international and American teachers is presenting the same idea in more than one way.Many effective teachers learn to elicit the help of their students. (7) If the teacher and students have a friendly relationship, students usually are more willing to help facilitate communication in the classroom. In the following statement a teacher from Iran described how he uses certain teaching methods to be sure his students understand him.“Ive been trying hard to say the words separate so that students can understand. (8) Once in a while I stop and ask, Do you follow? and pretty much make them feel that any time they can stop me. ”(9) Getting students to participate in the class by being friendly and supportive of their comments, ideas，and questions can help both the teacher and the students feel more comfortable in the classroom. (10) When students feel comfortable enough to participate in class, they may be more tolerant of the teachers language difficulties and be willing to cooperate with the teacher in solving communication problems.Today, weve talked about ways for you, future international teachers, to enhance communication in the classroom. I hope you would have a good time.对话1W. Can money really buy happiness? (1) Best-selling author David Bach is a psychiatrist and a money advisor on CNBC s The Millionaire Inside. Going from rags to riches，he says he found happiness but it wasnt just about dollars and cents. Morning，David.M： Good morning, Maggie.W: What do you think makes people happy then, if they have no money?M: Well，I think what most Americans really want is freedom. (2) We are in the land of the free，but when three out of four people are living paycheck to paycheck，they dont feel free.W： You also say that happiness is not as simple as making more money.M： Yes. The more money you have，the more you need to spend anyway. (3 -1) People dont know how to keep their money. And people don，t know how to spend it wisely.W： We spend so much time in our lives trying to make money. We must believe its going to bring us happiness. But the research you have ever done about it is kind of mixed, isnt it?M: Well，the research is mixed. (3 - 2) And I think part of the reason for that is that people acknowledge in their souls，if not in their wallets, that it wont make them happy.W: But the problem is we see all these people out there today, with the yachts, with the boats, all of these, the planes, the big houses. They look happy, they have all these possessions. How do you explain that?M. It looks that way. But the research also indicates about scale. (3-3) You can give somebody enough money to take them from poverty to middle class，which makes people happy. But a lot more money % to from five hundred thousand to five million，doesnt make them happy.W: I agree. (3-4) Money is going to have the more significant impact on those low income individuals.M: I have never had anybody who comes in and says that he or she needs a little more money.W: Ive listened to the surveys of the kinds of jobs that make people the happiest; (4) the jobs that pay the most money. They are things like teachers* social workers, firefighters, not necessarily highly-paid jobs.M: Absolutely true. (5-1) Its really about feeling loved. W: (5-2) Good, passion is another thing that makes people happy. Health and passion.M：Yes. Health is at the top of the list in terms of what makes you happy. (5-3) Having good relationships with people，having a lot of very close personal friends, having a good marriage. These are the types of things that make people happy. So if you flip that around, then youll get to the core of what really makes people happy. (5-4) Sometimes you have to take the negative to see that you are content now. So if people were to imagine：Im not going with it these moments, then they would realize that they are pretty content even though their car is a year-older than theyd like.W：Yes, no question. Well again，the age-old question, we continue to debate it still. David, thanks.M：Thank you, Maggie!1.Which of the following is INCORRECT about David Bach?2.What percentage of people in the US are living under the pressure of money?3.Which of the following statements about money is INCORRECT?4.Which of the following jobs probably brings the least happiness to people?5.What is NOT mentioned in the interview as to bringing happiness to people?Conversation TwoW： We brought in a person to help us understand what regrets are all about. Reverend Sherri Hausser is an associate pastor in Pennsylvania. Nice to have you here.Ms Thank you.W ： We talked about this that everybody on the staff said we should do a segment about regrets. Why?M： (6) Regrets are amongst the most human things we have：this amazing invitation and opportunity to grow.W： But immediately you say regrets are positive, and most people dont think that way. Most people think that regrets are negative.M： Yeah, thats true. (8-1) I think that the important thing about regret is not to repress it. I think it starts to bother us, and it inhibits us from acting if we dont acknowledge it.W： So you say, “OK, Ive got a regret. All right. Here is what I did in a personal relationship. Here is what I said to a person and I wished I hadnt said it.” Now, get off your butt, and change it. So, if you made someone upset, you go and apologize. Is it as simple as that?M： (7) Well, sometimes it is as simple as that. I mean, it depends again on what the regret is about. You cant do anything about the past. But the regret is really about right now. What do I want different about this relationship that I，m in? And sometimes that means I dont want to be in this relationship anymore, and I have to act that way, and thats a very serious thing, but it is regret is a yearning about the future, and a yearning to be more.W； Whats the difference between regret and guilt?M: (8-2) I would say that guilt is something that we used to beat ourselves up with. Its something that actually stalls us and keeps us from acting. Regret on the other hand，is really an opportunity toward action. If we articulate it，then we，re compelled to do something different about it. And it really is an opportunity.W： What do you say to those who are out there living with regrets for years?M： I would say：(9-1) you have t
