Here are some important ways to improve your spoken English.When you have time to speak, just try your best to practice. Dont wait until you “feel more comfortable” speaking in English, so start speaking English today. Youll be surprised at how quickly your language skills improve. Find a native English speaker who is willing to spend some time speaking English with youyou may be able to offer them a language exchange, where they spend 30 minutes speaking English with you and you spend 30 minutes speaking your native language with them.Even if you have a good knowledge of the grammar and vocabulary, native English speakers may find its very difficult to understand if you dont work on your pronunciation. Correct , clear pronunciation is necessary if you really want to improve your English. Listen closely to how native English speakers pronounce certain words and sounds and do your best to copy them.The wider your vocabulary and the more English phrases you learn, the easier speaking English will become. Once you have learned a new word or phrase, you should make an effort to use it in a sentencethis is the best way to keep it in mind. You should also start a notebook of phrases that English speakers use all the time.Another great way to add some more English conversation into your weekly practice is to sign up for a class of discussion group. Attending an English class is a great way to pay attention to some of the more formal aspects of speaking English. A class will teach you the correct way of speaking. Attending a discussion group is a more informal and relaxed way of learning English, where the emphasis(重点) is more on communication and relationship building than on speaking “correct” English.4.

It helps to fill time between people when it is very quiet. You may not feel like talking with someone else or you are very shy at the beginning, but it is sometimes thought to be not polite to say nothing.People use small talk almost every day. It usually takes place when you meet someone you dont know at all or someone youre not familiar with. For example, waiters and hairdressers often make small talk with their customers（顾客）. If you happen to be outside when the postman comes to your door, you might make small talk with him, too.Most often, small talk happens in places where people are waiting for something. For example, you might talk with another person who is waiting for the bus to arrive. People also make small talk in a doctors waiting room, or when they are waiting in a line to buy something. At the office, people make small talk in lunch rooms, especially if there is a line-up. Mingling is often required（要求）among people who dont know each other very well at a party. That is to say, they are expected to walk around and talk with others.The most common time for small talk to happen is the first time you see or meet someone on a given day. For example, if you see a neighbor in the waiting room of the airport you might say hello and discuss the sports or weather. However, the next time you see each other you might just smile and say nothing. If there is very little noise, it might be the right time to start a pleasant conversation. If someone is reading a book at the bus stop, it is probably not a good idea to start a conversation. Another good time to make small talk is during a break in a meeting when there is nothing important going on. However, it is important to recognize the signal when the other person wants the conversation to stop.12. When does small talk most probably happen?A. When reading on a bus.B. When having a meeting.C. When meeting a postman who comes to your door.D. When having a family meal.13. The underlined word “Mingling” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by “_”.A. Honesty B. PolitenessC. Understanding D. Conversation14. The third paragraph mainly talks about_.A. how to make small talk B. where small talk happensC. when to make small talk D. why people make small talk15. The last paragraph is organized mainly by_.A. telling stories B. giving explanationsC. providing examples D. discussing questions【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. C【解析】文章讲述了闲聊在生活中会随时发生。12. 细节理解题。由If you happen to be outside when the postman comes to your door, you might make small talk with him, too.可知当你见到来到你门口的邮递员时，可能会闲聊，选C。13. 词义猜测题。Mingling is often required（要求）among people who dont know each other very well at a party. That is to say, they are expected to walk around and talk with others. 这句话的意思是在聚会上，彼此不熟悉的人之间通常被要求交谈。那就是说，他们被期待四处走动，彼此交谈。选D。14. 主旨大意题。由主题句Most often, small talk happens in places where people are waiting for something. 可知第三自然段主要讲了闲聊可能会发生的地点，选B。15. 细节理解题。最后一段作者主要通过举例子来进行论证的，所以答案是C。第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。If you want to keep fit, please refer to the following:Move MoreMake it a daily habit to find ways to move your body._16_ Climb stairs instead of taking the lift.
