2、see him getting angry . and, well, I start to feel Ive let him down again.Counselor:You dont feel ready for your exam, you feel anxious and you dont want to let your Dad down again.

3、old him that I wasnt ready to play in that league.Counselor:And now you are preparing to tell him that youre not ready to sit this examination?Sam: Yes, I suppose I am.Counselor:O.K. Sam, so what you are saying to me is that you feel reluctant to take the exam tomorrow because you do not like the thought of having to explain a poor grade or a failure to your father.

4、 spend a lot of time looking words up in my dictionary. This makes reading difficult for me because by the time Ive looked up the word in my dictionary, Ive forgotten what the rest of the sentence was about. Thats my trouble really I rely too much on my dictionary. B: Well, why dont you try to read a text without using your dictionary the first time you read it? Youll probably be able to understand most of it and guess what some of the words mean.2. A: I have to read a lot of books and articles
5、in English for my work Im a consultant in business management. What I find most difficult is finding the main point in an article or a paragraph. I always try to take notes when Im reading and so sometimes I find that Im almost copying out the whole article because I cant decide what the really important points are. B: It might help if you read through the book or article very quickly first just to get an idea of what its about. I think its difficult to read something for the first time and take
6、 notes as well.3. A: I like reading novels and short stories in my own language and in English, but theres one thing I find very difficult in English. Im never quite sure if the writer is being serious or not. Several times Ive read something I thought was serious and later Ive found out it was supposed to be funny. B: I have exactly the same problem. I suppose the only thing to do is to read as much as possible. Then one day perhaps well understand the British sense of humor.4. A: I have to rea
7、d a lot in English in my studies and this is causing me problems. I read too slowly in English. Do you think I can train myself to read quickly and at the same time understand what Im reading? B: Well, there are special courses in speed reading, I think. But you could probably help yourself if you set yourself a time limit and try to read as much as you can within the time. Ive done that and its helped me a lot.Part(Part I) Yes, the teacher I remember best was a teacher I had for French when I w
8、as at school . er . er . Many years ago - more years than I care to remember, Im afraid. Yes, I studied French with him for, um, ooh, let me see, it must have been five years, because I had him when I was in my first year there, when I was thirteen, and he was the main French teacher till I left. It was mainly because of him that I went on to study languages French and German at university. I mean, French was really the first language I ever learned. Well, I dont count Latin, because I never man
9、aged to speak any Latin at all. Er, well, this . this teacher didnt make it easy . he didnt make it easy at all, but I found that with him I really learned a lot. When I think back, I . dont really know why I liked him so much, because he was very strict with us. He made us work very hard I mean, lots of grammar exercises, vocabulary tests, that sort of thing er, and he wasnt very friendly either, for the first two or three years. Oh, as well as that, he didnt really try to make the classes interesting I mean, no . no video, of course, in those days, no cassettes . but, er, we had a few films in French every term. No, in fact, the only time we really practiced trying to speak French was, er, was with the wife of one of the music teachers, who was French, er, and she gave us an hours conversation class every week.
