12、od way to practice. You don 'thave to feel embarrassed, because nobody can hear you. You can talk to yourself about anything you like - what you had for breakfast, where you ' regoing for the weekend - anything. And the more you do it, the more you will get used to hearing your own voice and

13、 your pronunciation, so you won't feel so frightened in the classroom. Andy should try it.P: Hm, I suppose so. Any thi ng else? What about his grammar?S: He has only just started learning English, so he is going to make lots of mistakes, butthat ' not a problem. That ' s how he ' ll

This is the second timethey ' vdone this test. The f

19、irst time was in 1932, whe n every 11-year-old in Scotla nd was put through an in tellige nce testlt 'She only time this kind of mass testing has ever been done in the UK. The results were rediscovered rece ntly in an Edin burgh baseme nt. If you want to know how our in tellige nce changes as we

20、 get older, these results are a potential goldmine.I:We brought hun dreds of people back and we got them to sit the exact same test that they hadsat when they were aged 11. Now, these people are now 79 or 80 years old. We gave the same in struct ions. We gave the same test. And we gave the same time

21、 limit.M2: It was a little stickier than I thought it would be.M3: I walked through it quite happily, quite hon estly.W2: I felt I must have bee n very bright at 11 if I sat that exam and passed.N: There were some in trigu ing results. Almost every one had a better score at 80 tha n they did at 11.

22、But some had gone from being just averagely in tellige nt to a much higher level.I:Now, that ' what really drives our research. We' re interested in: Why have those peoplewho' ve gone (people gone) from IQ 100, at age 11, up to 110 or 120? What have they done right? What can be the recip

23、e for successful aging?We' re finding that the person with more educati on, even though they had the same IQ in childhood, is doing slightly better in old age, on average. The pers on who had a more professi onal job, in old age, is doing slightly better on average than the person who had a manu

24、al job, despite the fact that they started at the same level. The people who smoked have got slightly less good mental ability than you would expect.N: What' s even more remarkable is that the kids who had higher IQ scores at 11 are the very ones still alive today.

26、u can make it a regular part of your daily life.A: You mean like having breakfast at the same time, lunch at the same time, studying at the same time.B: Yes. And also I think it helps whe n you study with frien ds.A: Yeah, I, I think itrhose motivating.B: And you can actually talk to some one, not j

27、ust look at books. I find that if I ' m only readi ng my notes it 'sasy to lose concentration. I start thinking about other things. But when you are talk ing to some on e, it really helps you concen trate. So, yes, I agree with this one.A: OK. Ano ther idea is not to eat too much before the

28、exam.B: Oh, really?A: Mm, whe n I eat a lot, I get sleepy.B: Oh, I see. I think it depe nds. Because if you d on 'teat eno ugh, you start to feel hungry in the middle of the exam.A: Mm, that ' s true.B: And then you can ' concentrate.A: Yeah, that ' s true.B: So, I ' m not sure a

29、bout this advice, for me. As I said, I think it depends. I always try to eat a good meal before an exam'm so nervous that I never get sleepy.A: Hm. OK. What other ideas do you have?B: Well, there ' one thing I always do before an exam.A: What ' Sat?B: I go to bed early the ni ght before.

I found it very easy to lear n, but was frustrated

42、 with the slow pace and repetitive n ature of all my Spanish classes. So I worked extra hard in my spare time and asked my teacher if I could skip a level by the end of the semester.This was unsuccessful, however, because the school was not willing to test me or otherwise prove that I could be succe

43、ssful in the top level after skipping a level. This made things even more frustrating, as then I was stuck in a class where I already knew the material!Then I went on to college where I then used the language extensively both in and out of the classroom. I studied Spanish literature, culture, and li

44、nguistics and very much enjoyed the cultural and linguistic elements, but found the in-depth study of literature a very unbalanced way to study Spanish.I got a lot out of using my Spanish outside of the classroom, including a trip to Mexico with a church group, where I found myself acting as an inte

45、rpreter. It was certainly challenging, but it was also a lot of fun.I then also volunteered to be an interpreter in the community schools and also used my Spanish to teach English to some Spanish speakers.
