The United States is referred to as “the great melting pot of society” where people of all nations join together to form “a more perfect nation”. While Canada on the other hand has been compared to a mosaic(马赛克), where people are invited to join the nation and still retain their cultural identities, complete with traditions, languages and customs. When it comes to language in the United States and Canada they both have English as one of the main languages. Since a lot of people speak French and 20% of the population of Canada are French Canadian, on most things not only English is written but also is French, while in United States since they encourage people to be more into the “American culture” there will be less of different types of cultures but more of one. 37.话题：热点话题 常用词汇: topic 话题,主题 heated discussion 热烈的讨论 hot 热点 differ 不同,差异different不同的 ban 禁止 object to 反对 agree同意 disagree 不同意 be against 反对 be for赞成 in favor of 赞成 reasonable 合乎情理的argument 争论 advantage缺点 disadvantage优点 have an effect/impact/influence on 对……有影响 affect影响be worth considering值得考虑 be concerned about关心 in terms of从……角度 a sound attitude 正确的态度 contribute to solving the problem of 有助于……问题的解决 medical breakthrough 医学上的突破unethical 不道德的 范例: With the College Entrance Exam coming, from time to time we hear students discuss whether Senior 3 students should take a lot of tonics (补品) to keep fit. There are different opinions about it. Some students object to taking tonics, because tonics will make them put on more weight, which is not appropriate for their health. Moreover, the parents will have a great impact on the Senior 3 students if they show too much concern by offering them tonics, which is bound to bring more stress to the Senior 3 students. They will feel cast down and ashamed when they can’t get a high mark as their parents have expected. Besides, they don’t think their effort will pay off only if they take tonics. However, some students-opinion completely differs from it. They are in favor of the opinion that it is easy for the Senior 3 students to feel tired by working hard, and tonics can help to bring themselves back to energy as soon as possible, so it is good to take some tonics. 38.话题:发明创造—兴趣与爱好 常用词汇: invent 发明 invention 发明 inventor 发明家 create 创造 creative 有创造力的 patent 专利 spare time业余时间 favorite最喜欢的interest兴趣 hobby爱好 appetite嗜好 taste口味 read novels读小说play football/basketball打足球/篮球 surf the internet上网 chat online在线聊天play games玩游戏 collect stamps集邮 make e-friends交网友 climb mountains爬山 watch TV看电视 enjoy popular music喜欢流行音乐 be interested in对……感兴趣 develop an interest in 在……方面发展兴趣be fond of 喜欢… be keen on 喜欢…… have love for 喜爱……have a taste in对……有兴趣 范例: Leonardo da vinci, whose family was poor, was born in 1452.Besides painting, he also became interested in machines when he was a boy.

I’m Li Hua from Fujian, China. It’s my great honor to be here to say something about the global water shortage and ways of dealing with it. As we know, the global water shortage is becoming increasingly severe mainly due to global warming, environmental pollution and the ever-increasing population. Therefore, it’s high time we did something about it. Firstly, an effective way, I think, is to reserve water in a scientific way for future use. Secondly, new methods need to be developed to use the existing water resources, for example, turning sea water into fresh water. Thirdly, we must stop water pollution by law. Last but not least, it’s everyone’s responsibility to make good use of water, such as recycling and saving water in our daily life. In conclusion, people around the world should be aware of the real situation of water shortage, protect the present water resources and explore potential ones scientifically. That’s all. Thank you. |
