瀏覽方式: 標題列表 簡短摘要

我叫Eve. 之前是個上班族, 隨著兩個孩子漸漸長大, 我現在是個家庭主婦, 平常整理家務之外, 興趣就是學英文. 今年因為肺炎疫情的關係, 開始在Our ABC Online線上學習英文, 訓練口說和聽力, 我不想感到學習的壓力, 所以, 希望老師用free talk的方式, 引導我多講多聽, 很幸運我遇到這位老師可以順著話題和前面的語意, 聯想出我正在表達的意思, 提示我單字和糾正我的句子, 無論講對講錯都會打字下來給我, 讓我表達越來越完整, 學的很紮實. 

從好幾年前, 我就一直利用本身的英文能力, 陪伴及教導我的孩子學校和補習班的英文科目, 除了英文作業和考試, 我也將英文融入他們日常生活對話當中, 即使不是生活在國外, 也盡量給他們一個中文和英文雙語的生活環境. 

這次的上課內容, 是討論健康和教育的主題, 還提到了一點現今的防疫情形. 如果你們也有英文學習的需要, 推薦這一間線上英文教學, 我的先生在他們這裡學商用英文(要再考多益), 我大女兒在這裡上雅思課(未來打算去英國讀書), 他們也很習慣和喜歡. 分享個人經驗給你們, 可以去試讀看看, 反正是免費的, 有喜歡再購買課程, 希望你們也能夠有所收獲.  

(以下為Eve學員2020/8/20 的上課內容和中文筆記, 感謝分享~~ )

我從事業務工作, 時常需要和國外客戶連繫, 不管是視訊還是電話都需要使用英文溝通, 以後還可能需要到國外出差. 目前收發英文email也是例行事項, 所以我下班後到補習班和自修英文很多年了, 聽說能力普普通通, 但仍時常遇到詞不達意, 很卡的時候, 甚至還會有需要猜想對方意思的情形發生. 實在影響了我的工作表現. 

因此, 今年過年之前, 開始試聽線上英文教學的課程, 最後我選擇了這間Our ABC Online, 因為遇到了真正喜歡和適合的老師, 他在我講英文的同時, 會快速地把我講的句字連同更正的地方全部都完整地打字下來, 讓我講完後看一遍自己的句子和被更正的地方. 著實學到了新的更貼切的表達單字和方式. 除了教學經驗老道, 老師還很熱情有趣, 好像認識很久的朋友, 上課時間60分鐘感覺過的很快, 在歡愉的氣氛中學英文, 可算是我工作壓力之下的娛樂兼進修, 很期盼下次上課的到來.    

以下是我在March,06, 2020 的上課記錄, 給予學校公開貼文, 特此感謝Our ABC Online的安排. 讓我英文有持續明顯地進步.

I stayed home for the whole day. I have lost 3 kilograms because tomorrow, I will join a party. I need to wear a small-sized dress so I went on a diet. Most of the time, I danced along with the music. But, sometimes I invited my husband to join me. Right now, he is jogging because he also wants to lose weight. He has gotten used to jogging every night around 9 to 10 pm. He always teased me because I have become too fat. It was gradual so I didn't realize I was getting that big. I tried the skirt every night to no avail, but, I made it last night. I could actually fit in. Today, I danced for an hour hoping that I would not rip it when I wear it.

Batching - 學員上課分享

2011/06/18 13:11
 

Batching. 批量做事:將一些瑣事放在一起做完

 

Boring or routine tasks can create a lot of procrastination and low-level anxiety. One good way to get these things done quickly is to batch them. This means that you do them all in row. You will be able to do them quicker because there is less "start-up time" compared to if you spread them out. And when you are batching you become fully engaged in the tasks and more focused.

Big Challenges - 中級 (線上英文教學實錄)

2010/12/11 21:03
 

 

Big Challenges 巨大的挑戰

“Keep staring! I might do a trick

That’s the message on a T-shirt of mine. People stare at me all the time so I thought this shirt would be funny. See I’m a dwarf. Most of the time people aren’t trying to be rude— they just haven’t seen many dwarfs like me before. I can understand that. But I also want to let them know that I see them staring. Usually the T-shirt makes them laugh at themselves not at me.

I was born with achondroplasia, the most common form of dwarfism. I have an average-size torso, but my arms and legs are shorter and my head is bigger than average. Right now I’m almost four feet tall and that’s about as tall as I’m going to get.

I’m not going to pretend that my height isn’t a challenge. It is. Light switches and counters are usually too high for me. I can’t reach some shelves in the grocery stores. It takes me almost three steps to keep up with one step of an average-size adult. And my mom has to hem almost all of my pants.

But everyone faces challenges. You just have to face them with a good attitude. So I have a long barbecue fork to pull things down from pantry shelves. I’m a great climber and I can make a stool out of just about anything. I’ll even be able to drive a car with the help of pedal extensions. If all else fails, I ask for help. Due to the way I see it, I can do just about anything that an average-size person can do. So I’ll never play professional sports but I have no problem testing my limits. I have to. For instance, everyone uses stoves. Little people just have to figure out how to use them in different ways. I use a stool to reach mine at home. It may take me longer and it may be harder but I can still do it.

My T-shirt shows people the real me—a kid with a sense of humor. And maybe that’s the real trick showing others that I’m just like them. I play sports and video games, I go to school and I hang out with my friends. I’m just shorter. I mean no one is exactly the same. And anyway, I’m proud of who I am.

Unpolished Diamond -- intermediate

2010/12/04 19:35
 
 

Unpolished Diamond

 

How a person reacts to criticism often means the difference between success and failure. Take the case of Ole Bull, the famous Norwegian violinist of the 19th century.

 

His practical father, a chemist, sent him to the University of Christiania to study for the ministry and forbade him to play his beloved violin. He promptly flunked out and, defying his father, devoted all his time and energy to the violin. Unfortunately, though he had great ability, his teachers were relatively unskilled, so that by the time he was ready to start his concert tour he wasn’t prepared.

 

In Italy a Milan newspaper critic wrote: "He is an untrained musician. If he were a diamond, he should be certainly in the rough and unpolished." There were two ways Ole Bull could have reacted to that criticism. He could have let it make him angry, or he could learn from it.

 

Fortunately he chose the latter. He went to the newspaper office and asked to see the critic. The astounded editor introduced him. Ole spent the evening with the 70-year-old critic, asked about his faults, and sought the older man’s advice on how to correct them. Then he canceled the rest of his tour, returned home, and spent the next six months studying under really able teachers. He practiced hours upon hours to overcome his faults. Finally, he returned to his concerts and, when only 26, became the sensation of Europe .

Positivity Makes a Difference -- upper intermediate

Positivity Makes a Difference

 

Positivity makes the difference between Heaven and Hell. There is a Korean story that illustrates this. Once upon a time there was a little boy who used to pray to God for an opportunity to see Heaven and Hell so that he could make up his mind on where to go.

 

One day his prayers were answered. God deputed an angel to guide the boy on his excursion to Heaven and Hell. He was taken, first, to Hell. What he saw there was different from all that he had Heard about Hell. He found a huge dining table piled up with excellent food and people sitting around the table looking famished and miserable.

 

The reason for this was that they had to eat their food with chopsticks and they were given chopsticks bigger than walking sticks, with which they could not feed themselves. So they were all sitting in front of tasty and appetizing food, tortured by hunger but unable to eat.

 

The boy decided then and there that Hell was not the place for him. So he was taken to Heaven. On arrival there, what he found truly astonished him. He found the same enormous table, the same fabulous menu and even the same huge chopsticks. But there was a glorious difference; the people sitting around the table were looking visibly happy.

 

This surprised him no end. Then, in a moment, the difference dawned on him. Unlike the people in Hell, these men and women were feeding each other across the table with the long chopsticks. In simple terms, they had the capacity to respond positively to each other and to the given problem. The huge chopsticks were a problem only in respect of feeding oneself, but they were a blessing in respect of feeding their neighbors sitting at a distance.

 

Heaven, in short, is a place where people respond positively to each other. As a matter of fact, there are many “huge chopsticks” in our way to success. Only when we react positively to them can we transform the problems into driving force and finally achieve success. So you see, positivity also makes the difference between success and failure.

TRAVEL

Text for dictation:______

Students often manage to travel long distances on very limited budgets 預算. The secret is to find cheap travel, food and accommodation 住宿.

In the 1960s, British students did this through hitch-hiking  塔便車旅行 and youth hostelling 住青年招待所.It can still be done today, though drivers are much more reluctant 不情願的 to offer lifts 順便塔載 to strangers.

Youth hostels are also more expensive as they tend to 傾向 offer a greater level of comfort. Hostellers used to 過去一向 carry their own sheet sleeping bags and would expect to sleep in bunk beds, often within large single sex dormitories 大寢室. A long walk to one of few outside toilets was not uncommon.

Today, other possibilities 可能性 present themselves to people living near one of Britain's international airports. The cost of international rail travel has become prohibitive, but hopping around Europe on charter flights can be done very cheaply. The chief 主要的 snag 障礙 is finding reasonably priced accommodation when you arrive at your destination.

What Does Your Boss Want You To Know ? (Intermediate)

2009/05/08 19:54
 
 

What does your boss want you to know ?

 

1. Forget about excuses

No boss cares why an assignment wasn't done. It's your job to get it done and on time.

2. Don't aim for perfection

Getting it done well and on time is much more important than doing it "Perfectly"

3. Carrying your share is not enough

Bosses value people who do their job and look around for, create or ask for more real work.

4. Follow through

Tie up the loose ends of your assignments. Don't wait to be reminded, particularly by a Supervisor.

5. Anticipate problems

When your responsibilities depend on input from others, check their plans and their understanding of what you're requesting.

6. Be resilient about problems

Part of carrying your responsibilities is understanding that unforeseeable failures by others are a routine part of work life. When problems occur, no one is picking on you and you can't excuse it as bad luck.

7. Don't take problems to your boss

If you lack the authority, come prepared with solutions when you broach the problem. Even though your boss may not use your solutions, you've made an impression as a problem solver - not as a problem collector.

8. Attendance counts

People quickly become aware of who makes an effort to be there and who uses any excuse to miss a day.

9. Don't be a squeaking wheel

Don't be seen as " Here comes a problem".

10.Don't carry grudges

You cannot win them all. So don't squander your energy, the goodwill of your allies, and the patience of your boss by turning every issue into a crusade.

11.Choose your battles carefully

Ask yourself: how much difference the problem really makes. Is it worth making an enemy? Do I have a realistic chance of winning

12.Deal directly with the person who makes the decision

Dealing with people with less authority may be easier on your nerves, but you'll be wasting time and effort.

The Shaggy Dog (中級)

2009/04/21 23:18
 
 

The Shaggy Dog

retold by

S. E. Schlosser

 

There once was a woman traveling home from England who lost her pooch somewhere between Salem and Springfield . He was just about the shaggiest dog in the entire world; so shaggy you couldn't tell which end was which until his tail started wagging. The woman was completely distraught. She loved the dog like it was her own son, so she advertised in all the local newspapers, hoping to find him. The advertisement read: "Missing, extremely shaggy dog. Reward. Will pay all travel expenses of finder." Then it listed her home address.

 

It didn't take long for people to start climbing her front steps with a shaggy dog in tow. The woman would answer the door eagerly and step out onto the porch to survey the dog. Each and every time she would shake her head sadly and say: "Not shaggy enough. He's just not shaggy enough." Folks came from the East, but their dogs weren't shaggy enough. They came from the West, but their dogs weren't shaggy enough. The ones from the South weren't shaggy enough either, and neither were the ones from the North.

 

The woman was about to give up in despair when she received a letter from a chap in England . Claimed to have found a shaggy dog stowed away on his ship when he was traveling from Salem , Massachusetts to Liverpool , England . The woman was so excited. Could it be her shaggy dog at last? He'd gone missing just after she left Salem ! After writing back and forth with the English chap a few times, she paid the ship fare to America for both the man and his shaggy dog.

 

Well, the woman waited and waited and waited! Oh how she longed for the big day to arrive. Finally, (finally!), she heard a crisp voice outside the house and the sound of footsteps coming up the front walkway. She sprang to the door, opened it, and burst out onto the porch. Then she staggered backward and clapped a hand to her heart, staring at the huge hairy ball on the leash beside the Englishman. In despair, she cried out: "Oh no! Not THAT shaggy!"

New To American (中級)

2009/04/03 19:13
 

Nancy was new to America . She came to America speaking only her native language. She brought her 8-year-old son with her. He was all she had in the world.

They found an apartment in Arcadia . They were there for only two months when a neighbor’s dog jumped over the fence. The dog ran toward Nancy ’s son. Nancy put her body in between the dog and her son. The dog stopped when it saw Nancy screaming at it. She was going to punch it in the nose. The dog turned around.

Shaking, Nancy took her son upstairs. They stayed in the apartment all weekend. Then Nancy found another apartment, close to the school that her son was going to attend.

She and her son walked everywhere. One day her son started coughing badly. He had an asthma attack. All the walking was making his asthma worse.

Nancy knew that she had to buy a car. So she called up the Honda dealer. She talked to a salesman who spoke her language. She told him that she wanted to buy a new car if he could come over to pick her up. The salesman said he would be right over.

Allen學習心得和上課筆記

我在一家公司擔任研發主管一職, 為了充實自我, 我假日去進修電子碩士在職專班, 為了增加英文能力, 一直以來都有買一些英文學習雜誌, 趁睡覺前讀一讀。我不是個容易偷懶的人, 卻總是有理由今天不讀, 明天不讀, 後天也没讀, 即時讀了也没開口和人對話, 又很快地忘了, 就這樣耗了好多年, 英文始終没有明顯提升, 也不知自己用英文表達時, 對方能不能聽的懂。

後來, 經同事介紹了Our ABC Online一對一英文線上教學, 他說他在那裡已上了半年的課, 建議我去看看, 結果讓我真正找到了既方便又有效, 而且也很經濟的學習英文方法, 我的課程是週一、四晚上9-10點, 我的老師是Jeff, 他的口音標準, 是個佷有耐心、且仔細聆聽的老師, 會糾正我的Taiglish。還有一點, 我很感激他的就是, 我不定期的會寫英文作文練習, 他都會免費利用課餘時間幫我修改, 且在下次上課的時候, 把錯誤講解給我聽。所謂亦師亦友, 益師益友啊。

Man Injured at Fast Food Place.

2008/12/03 21:35
 
 

A 79-year-old man was slightly injured on Saturday while waiting in his brand new convertible in a drive-through lane at Burger Prince restaurant. Herman Sherman of Northville suffered a mild burn about 9:00 p.m. when a young female employee accidentally spilled a cup of coffee into his lap. Sherman said the coffee was hot but not scalding.

He refused medical aid, saying the only problem was the stain on his slacks, but it would wash out. He was given a fresh refill. Before Sherman drove off, the restaurant manager, John Johnson, gave him two free gift certificates--one for an extra-large coffee and one for the restaurant's newest sandwich, the McRap.

The employee, who was a new hire, was let go later that evening. She was quite upset. She said she would probably sue Burger Prince for letting her go. She said it was the man's fault for ordering something that she might be able to spill.

學員Mary學習心得分享

2008/11/06 01:39
 

以前上英文課的時候, 老師教發音, 唸很多遍,還是學不起來;但是這位Peggie老師會教我發音的技巧。以前背很多文法, 但是有很多疑問, 也搞不懂, 問老師也只是簡單的回答, 無法深入了解為什麼, 日積月累地就覺得很累, 而學不下去;但是Peggie老師會講的明白透徹, 現在發現懂它了,  它就好記了, 就是屬於我自己的了。還有, 我以前參加的補習班強調說英文, 但是不強調文法的正確性, 所以說出來也就錯誤連篇, 最後我還是搞不懂文法, 單字也記不住, 也不知道要如何說英文, 腦筋一遇到講英文就是一片空白;Peggie老師會協助我表達完整的句子, 並糾正我的錯誤, 很快地, 我的進步連我自己都不敢相信。

而且這份新英語教材, 它由淺入深地慢慢引導, 學習新的單字、片語及文法, 且每課單字片語及文法間均有承接關係, 以前學習過的很多英文教材, 編排方式比如 : 旅遊、上班、家庭、季節...等依主題來切割各個單元, 各單元間並没什麼關聯性。所以我覺得這份新英語教材真的很適合我。

當然, 我知道自己在英文學習方面的領悟力很差, 所以很感謝這位老師很有耐心的教我英文, 我不追求學快學多, 但我希望學的紮實, 穩健地把英文的聽說讀寫譯學起來。
