美國哲學(xué)家和作家喬治·桑塔亞那(George Santayana,1863~1952)有一句名言論及教育的本質(zhì)性特征:“教育中真正的困難是從概念中獲得體驗?!睂τ谟⒄Z學(xué)習(xí)者、特別是尚且處于初級和中級學(xué)習(xí)階段的人來說,喬治·桑塔亞那的觀點應(yīng)當(dāng)說也是恰如其分。許多人學(xué)習(xí)英語數(shù)年如一日,堅持不懈,但往往還是擺脫不了紙上談兵的窘境,很難在工作與個人生活中得心應(yīng)手地使用英語與人交流與溝通。究其原因,一個常見的問題就是自覺與不自覺地將學(xué)習(xí)定位于獲得英語語言中高度系統(tǒng)化的概念,例如詞匯及其定義、句法以及修辭法等等,一味培養(yǎng)理解與鑒賞英語的能力,猶如欣賞一副名畫或者一首名曲,而在學(xué)習(xí)過程中缺少互動性的體驗,忽視了培養(yǎng)個人實際應(yīng)用英語的能力與技巧。本書是一部關(guān)于英語會話學(xué)習(xí)的實用教材,全書從簡單而最為常見的社交活動開始,逐漸加大難度和范圍,涉及如何待人接物,如何與人溝通和商談,以及如何按照規(guī)范的禮儀處理迎來送往等事宜。本書適合英語學(xué)習(xí)者參考學(xué)習(xí)。作者簡介:Betty Kirkpatrick,a graduate of Edinburht University,has had a long and distinguished career as editor,publisher and writer of Englisth reference books.She Was the editor of the Chambers Twentieth Century Dictionary and the Editor of Roget's Thesaurus.She now wites mainly for Learners Publishing.
