14 F Announcement Log

本页是 2014 年秋学期的“Announcement Log”每周通知页。 每周最重要的通知和提示，首先会在这里找到，它们会指导你们找 完成下周作业的 资源及方法步骤。 “班长-联络专员小组”有义务将这个通知的信息通过微信，email，口头等方法转达给班上尽量多的同学，以使他们知道，这个口语课其实是 有老师指示的，而不是没有指示的。这个口语课，训练并评分的，其实是这个班的全体同学，是否有联络和沟通的能力，去用自己的能力找出老师给他们的作业指示。 如果有这种能力的话，全班作为一个集体的分数，都会最终得到满意的合格分数。 如果全班缺乏这种能力，那班里即使是本身英语水平特别高的学霸，都难以取得满意的分数。 
以下是 2013 秋学期 及 2014 春学期 的 announcement logs 链接。 尤其是秋学期的每周安排很相似。所以这两个 announcement logs 里面的很多通知，其实与本学期同一周的通知，是相同的：

==*) Workshop/Homework Topics Every Week ==
==*) Wk 1==
* My Oral English Class is rather simple:
* 我的口语课原则其实很简单
*
* 1) Students should write at least one short English diary every week. Diary entries are counted using "participation points", as soon as they are shared with the teacher and other students.
* 一，学生至少每周应写一篇短英语日记。只要学生一与其他学生及老师分享每周写的日记，就被算作“参与分”。
*
* Diary topics should ideally be thoughts that you suddenly have inspiration for, or daily events and conversations you would like to express in English. Suggestions for diary topics are collected into a file called "Diary".
* 日记内容理想来说应该是你日常突然得到灵感的有思想性的东西，或你希望能够用英语表达或描述的日常事件或会话意思。提议写什么日记内容的各个点子，都被收集入一个叫做“英语日记”的文件里。
*
* 2）Students should expose themselves to short English articles on magazines (National Geographic) or encyclopedias (Wikipedia) by writing these short paragraphs down onto the "diary notebook". When shared, counted as "participation points".
* 学生应当通过搜集 杂志上（国家地理）或百科上（维基）短小的，最好是带图的 英语文段 来增加自己的语感和理解能力。 每段文段写在“日记本”里，与老师分享就被算作“参与分”。
*
* 3）Students should expose themselves to more standard English pronunciation by watching English videos (movies, TV series, news) every week. Watch them to satisfy your entertainment needs. Do not try to understand more than your capacity can understand. But, watch them in order to master the "feel" of standard English pronunciations (North American, British, Australian).
* 学生应当每周持之以恒地看适量的英语视频（电影，电视，新闻）。 本着满足你们娱乐，信息需要的心态去看它们。但是不要指望理解大大超越你们理解能力的词句量。 只是本着慢慢适应语感，模仿比较正宗的口音（美，英，澳）的目的去多看。 即使听不懂也多看。听不懂也当听音乐一样听。
*
* 4）When -writing diary, -reading encyclopedia or magazine, -translating between English and mother tongue, please try to use tools such as - bilingual translators, - dictionary.com and thesaurus.com, - wikipedia, - seach engines like google, baidu, bing
* 当你-写日记，-阅读百科或杂志，-在英语与母语间互译 等的时候，学会大量使用以下工具： -双语互译工具（bing translator）, -dictionary.com 和 thesaurus.com 网上英语解释的字典 及 近义词反义词辞典， -维基百科， -搜索引擎如谷歌
*
* 5）The best thing to memorize and recite out loud, are -idioms, -short phrases, -short sentences, -usages, -lyrics/speeches/quotes/poems because they are vehicles of usage and grammatical conventions.
* 学生最需要记忆并大声背诵出来的, 是-成语，-短语，-短句，-惯用语，-歌词/演讲/语录/诗歌 （五短） 因为这“五短”是语法及约定俗成的遣词法的载体。
*
* The five types of short strings of words should be collected through magazine or encyclopedia reading, through videos and through diary writing with the help of dictionary tools. They should be written down on flashcards, not "word lists".
* 以上“五短”应当从杂志及百科的阅读中取得，从视频观看中取得，从日记写作中通过字典等工具取得。 “五短”应该被记录在 -乱序 和 -隐去母语 的 “闪卡”中，而不是记录在 -顺序 及 -有母语一一对应 的 “词列”中。
*
* 6) Encyclopedic "trivia" should be learned through browsing online encyclopedia (Wikipedia) or through search engines (Google). Online info research is an important foundational skill. Awareness of basic knowledges like names of countries, food items, math functions is very important for you to become conversant in English.
* 百科“常识”应该从浏览百科（维基）及搜索引擎（谷歌）中取得。网上搜索信息是个重要基础技能。对这些百科常识的意识，比如说国名，食物名，数学符号名，是你英语具备会话能力的一个基本元素。
*
* 7) Create your own conversational environment. (Best): Short questions and answers, speed dating format; (Next): Role-playing skits; (Last): Talk show.
* 自己营造会话环境，从最有效开始排列： （最有效）：以“快速相亲”为模式的两三人的简短速问速答； （其次）：角色扮演几个人自己创作的小情景剧； （最后）： 把一个“演讲”用“脱口秀”的自然形式演绎出来。
^^^^^
QQ group is where all weekly instruction "handouts" and homework instructions are uploaded.
以上是你们班的“班号”及你们必须加入的Q群。 因为所有的每周课堂及课外作业指示“文件”都会上载到这个Q群上。
As your teacher, I will not send mass email to all students in the class like this. 
我下一次就不会像这样把一个email一气发给全班同学。 
I've learned last semester that I cannot expect * every student to check his/her own email for teacher's English-only instructions, * every student to visit his/her own QQ "Files" section to download weekly "handouts", * every monitor to email, explain in Chinese, or print for all 20 students in the class, * myself to email, print for 400 of my own students, * every monitor to understand all instructions by herself. 
我吸取了上学期的教训：我不能指望 * 每个学生都记得每周自觉在email收件箱里去读懂老师的全英文指示，* 每个学生都自觉浏览自己的QQ“群文件”并记得每周下载哪一个指示文件，* 每一个班长都向20位同学email，复印文件或用中文解释每周指示，* 我自己向400位学生每周email, 打印所有文件， * 每位班长自己一个人就弄明白我的所有全英文指示。
Therefore, this semester, ideally, I only need to email 10 monitors out of my 10 classes. Each monitor only needs to email 4 Communication Assistants. Every Communication Assistant only needs to print for 4-5 neighbours. 
You can even want to try to make these work: * If a monitor thinks one Communication Assistant is the smartest at printing for the entire class, she can make him the "Official Printer" and have the class pay him; * If a monitor is experiencing email problems, or thinks one Communication Assistant is the most responsible in checking instructions weekly, explaining instructions in Chinese, or organizing a WeChat group for students who don't go on QQ, he can make her a General Communication Assistant and have me email her; * If a monitor thinks two or three Communication Assistants are friends she can see regularly and have lunch and meetings with, she can call regular meetings for this team of 3-5 people to help each other understand fully my all-English instructions, so that they can better explain to all classmates how to best achieve good "class grade level"; * You can perhaps create one Communication Assistant in each "Number Group".
I have given the monitor the power to pick 4 Communication Assistants, to connect your small team with all classmates, and to make this small team work collaboratively. It is up to you to figure out how to make things work the best.
因此， 理想情况是，本学期里我只需要向我十个班的班长发email或复印文件。一个班长只需要向四个联络专员email或复印文件。每个联络专员只需向四五个“邻居”email或复印文件。 也就是，你们每个人，只要做到每人负责好大概五个人的联络沟通，就能有效地把信息传达给全班。 每人起码做到收集好五个“邻居”的email, QQ,手机登联络方式，是否需要建微信群？ 等等。 不过当然可以收集更多人的联络方式，但起码五个人。怎样合理分配“邻居”，你们合作商讨决定。
班长甚至可以尝试以下方式： * 如果觉得某个联络专员最 善于 为全班人每周统一印文件，可以让他成为“首席复印官”，让全班人付钱，他每周带文件回课室； * 如果班长的email不能顺利收取老师的邮件，或觉得某联络专员最负责，最懂得每周阅读指示，用中文向全班解释，或组织微信群准时向不上Q的同学传递信息，那可以把她任命为“总联络官”，并把她的email也给我； * 如果班长认为有两三个联络专员是她的闺蜜，室友，每天都能一起吃饭开会，那她可以每周和这几个联络专员一起讨论一下怎样完全读懂我的全英文指示文件，以便再告知全班，怎样有效地每周学习，以争取“全班整体分”上一个档次；* 班长可以尝试在每个“数字组”里安插一个联络专员，那所有“数字组员”就是他们那个“联络专员”的“邻居”了。 
总之，我给了班长任命四位她最信赖的“联络专员”的权力，并且授权她将全班的“邻居”和这几位联络专员联系起来，并授权她与这几位联络专员合作研究出怎样有效地解决一个班的 沟通，理解，动员，互相辅导 需要。 
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I give challenges to my students. And these challenges don't mean that my teaching is problematic. 我的教学方法是：给学生挑战去解决。 而这些挑战，并不意味着，我的教学方法是有问题的。
Now the primary objective of Laoshi, is to discover those students who can *motivate themselves into solving problems, *who can change their reliance on their mother tongue or on their old learning methods, and develop applied English skills and skills to use new tools (such as Wikipedia), *who can come out of individual isolation, and collaborate with classmates (not necessarily those within a labeled "group") in order to master the technique of Brainstorming, AND to move these students into the Grade A category, and leave others in the Grades B and C categories. Please text classmates and ask them how they can help you.
现在你的老师的最重要职责，就是去发现 *那些能够主动施行解决问题办法的同学，*那些改变中文依赖性及旧学习方法依赖性，发展英语应用能力及新工具（如维基）应用能力的同学, *那些能抛弃自己闭门练习，采取与同班（注意，不一定是“同组”）同学共同练习掌握questioner questions的同学，并把这些同学提拔到A，而将其他（尤其是缺乏正确态度的）同学维持到B或C以下。
请各组组友自觉互相短信询问
So, if you failed to do what my learning method prescribes, and gets a B, it doesn't mean I have FAILED to give you an A. It actually means I want you to get B. 因此，如果你没有根据我要求你使用的学习方法，工具去参与本课的学习活动，因而得了B，这并不代表说我没有成功使你得到A。 这恰好表明：我希望你得B. 
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
* 每位同学有义务通过短信自己的班长，联络专员或 left-right partner 来核实自己的每周对应的 Workshop (Ws) Handout 数目是否齐全。若缺了一份，自己有义务从QQ群“文件”栏里找到它，下载并打印。所有handouts 要每六周装订成册，在期末作温习材料。
* 班长，联络专员应在Q群里多聊天说笑，促进沟通积极性。
* 每班五个联络专员必须将大多数以 Ws 2 Tools 工具 ... 开头的文件的头一两页（具体看题头说明，有的文件不准你印第三页以后） 一色复印五-六份，分派给你在班里的五位“邻居”。“Ws2 Tools 工具”各文件，为每周固定作业的指示的来源。若没有这些工具，你每周作业铁元分可能为0。
* 每个同学有义务在每周开课前读熟该周对应的 Ws (workshop) 的 handouts. 每人有义务在不懂时，短信你的数字组的联络专员，或班长，或 left-right partner, 以寻求中文解释。 
* 没读懂该周handouts指示，则可能导致你该周的铁元分得 0. 
* 每个人在指定某周内，必须手头上有与该周对应的 Ws (workshop) 的handouts, 并带到课堂上。
* 每个人必须在上课前，短信自己的 left-right partner 或联络专员，以核实自己手头上是否带齐了该周必带的 Ws 的 handouts. 我会抽查。
* 以下为详细列出本学期每周具体与哪个 Ws (workshop) 相对应，以及每周每位同学必须做什么作业，必须打印哪个 Ws 的指示文件（handout） 的两个 文件 Ws 1 Intro 大家介绍 Grid 表格 E msword 及 Ws 1 Intro 大家介绍 F msword。 虽然该两个文件已经上载到Q群，但是重新作为附件在这里邮出。手头上没有的同学，必须下载并阅读它们。 我建议你们把这两个文件的文本，拷贝黏贴到email，邮给自己，以便随时上网阅读。因为，这两个文件，整个学期都必须经常读，你才知道每周做什么：

How to make "neighbors" and "communication assistants" work?
please form a group with them.
I might suggest: 
1) make some of the "friends you already know", your "neighbors" who you print materials for and "neighbors" who you remind what to do as homework. these "neighbors" usually are the meeker, shyer students who cannot assist you as fellow communication assistants.
2) make some other "friends you know", communication assistants like you. These other "friends you know", should be strong, smart, able people that you can work in a "communication team" that can help the entire class.
3) I do have every single student, meet new friends in this class, and do activities with new friends all the time. 
However, you are allowed to print materials, and study after class, with friends you already know.
If you select several friends you already know: please form a group with them.

3) I do have every single student, meet new friends in this class, and do activities with new friends all the time. 
However, you are allowed to print materials, and study after class, with friends you already know.
The idea is: * the meeker and shyer "friends" will become "neighbors" who Communication Assistants want to help.
* The stronger, smarter, more extrovert and more helpful "friends you know", will become a team called "Communication Assistants" who can chat with each other to figure out how to manage the class, and then go out and print materials, and send my messages to their own "neighbors".
The ideal is: 到了本周末，全班每一个同学，都能够比较均匀地分配到五个"联络专员"的微信-email-短信-复印 小组 中
You can try naming the people you want in your group. Tell us their names here in the QQ group. Make sure they are around 5-6 people, and make sure you take people that other Assistants have not taken yet. 
Some "friends you already know"---you ONLY want to make them "neighbors".
But some "friends you already know":　You　actually want to make them "Communication Teammates". 
So, there are two kinds of "friends you already know"
Monitor has a list of all students' emails in the whole class. Now: A Communication Assistant will report to Monitor. And Monitor will give me his/her email tomorrow. 
The ideal is: 到了本周末，全班每一个同学，都能够比较均匀地分配到五个"联络专员"的微信-email-短信-复印 小组 中

Participation is the key to passing this course.
At the end of the semester, most students, no matter what level you are at, will likely be given a decent Final Exam grade.
However, having a decent Final Exam grade does NOT mean you will pass Oral English class.
Because: Participation is the single biggest factor determining whether you get A, B, C or D. 
People who participate the most, learn the most. They should get A, whether or not they are at an advanced level of English proficiency or not.
People who excel on Final Exam, are simply people who are the most advanced in their English proficiency. If I simply rewarded these people, my class would be extremely discouraging for people of lower proficiency, who could benefit more by participating. That's why an oral English class, should not reward students based on their existing proficiencies, but on "how much they do in class". 
Monitor: Please translate the above passage and tell everyone!

How To Do Your Homework Everyweek，Ws 2 Tools 工具 教你如何做每周的作业
鉴于文章内容太长，我弄个简约版的，以帮助同学理解。
以下罗列了几种学习方法，主要与往后课程有关。
* A)下载谷歌浏览器（强烈建议）
* B)每周/天写英文日记，元芳日记（掷骰子决定每周写哪篇。即使每周写一篇也可以。）
* C)搜索国家地理，或维基百科照片栏的 图片解说(长短为30-40个单词左右的)
* D)运用维基百科浏览新闻，浏览你喜欢的学问，寻找“附加题”的答案
* E)了解字典中的“词源”并记载日记中（法/拉丁，希腊文，盎格鲁语，其他语）
* F)找英文名星八卦生活杂志来读
* G)学习国际音标（买本国际音标字典，看自己熟悉的英语词的国际音标拼法，每周十几分钟）
* H)学会用英语表达数学公式（每天学习5个）
* I)从维基百科上 学习日本人名，各国地名民族名的发音（每天学习 个）
* J)跟着安迪-克雷格学早晨逐字晨读英语惯用语，成语

* L)听“紫书”每周对应unit 的mp3, 排演其中对话，下周与另一位同学上台抽查排演结果。
* M) 按老师的方法制作 Flash Card：语句记忆卡，将记忆到的语句用在每周表演中
附带：网址 例子
本文件只是原文件 “Ws 2 Tools 工具 How To Do Your Homework Everyweek G”的简单中译。建议读原文件才能浏览期中收集的网址和具体作业做法示范。
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Communication Assistants: Please check your email inbox. The Monitor has emailed you a message called 每周印什么文件. 
Every single classmate will bring a copy of the 7 handouts in Workshop 2, to class. 本节课请每个同学都带 Ws 2 的七份文件。我随便抽查你们看你们读懂了这七份文件没有（“怎样每周做作业”）。
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Other classes are lecture classes. Lecture classes do not require students to participate in a "workshop" that communicate as a team. So "monitors" in those classes are accustomed to thinking of announcing carelessly the same message on the QQ group as "doing their job". That will not work in a "workshop". That will not work in a "communication workshop" that requires team study. 
其他课大多是讲座课。讲座课并不要求全班学生分成“合作组”，通过互相沟通，来解决问题，学习沟通技能。 所以在“讲座课”上，班长们以为自己的“工作”就是在Q群上随便对全班重新说一遍老师说的话，就了事。 
这种“全班传声”的方法，并不能解决“沟通技能合作作坊”里的任何问题。 
 
Now, our problem to solve at hand, is not that each student has not heard the teacher's class-wide announcement, or that each student does not know that the QQ group is where the teacher puts English teaching instructions. The problem is that: 15 out of 20 students do not know that they need to hear explanations from their 5 leaders, in order to understand that all the files uploaded by the teacher onto QQ group, needs a problem solving teamwork approach, in order to transform into effective learning activities. 
现在，我们存在的问题，并非是：所有同学都没听过老师对全班统一发出的通知；也不是：所有同学都不知道老师的全英语学习指示就全部上载到QQ群上。 
我们真正存在的问题是： 20个同学中有15个，并不知道老师上载的这些全英语学习指示，需要5个领袖人物的翻译解释及带领团队问题解决方案，才能有效地变成一步一步的，简单明晰的学习活动。 
So, if the monitor only thinks her job is superficial, then there is no need for this role. 
因此，如果“班长”认为她的工作只是一个形式上的工作，那么她是完全不需要存在的。 
If the monitor only thinks the 5 leaders, called "Communication Assistants", are only superficially leading a "team" of people who put their names under, then there is no need for these roles. 
如果班长认为那五个“领袖”，叫做“联络专员”的，只是选拔出来应付形式上的需要，只是让几个同学名义上地挂在他们名下的，那他们没有必要存在。 
 
If by not doing the "problem solving" that a Communication Assistant should do, the Communication Assistant causes a neighbor not being able to bring in the handouts I want him to bring to class, and causes a neighbor not being able to understand how to do next class' activity effectively, then this "neighbor" should not be under this Communication Assistant. He should change to a Communication Assistant who can solve his problem. Superficiality is not allowed. 
如果一个联络专员，因为没有做“解决问题”而导致她的“邻居”手头得不到我要他带到课堂的文件，或导致她的“邻居”不能有效明白并准备下节课课堂活动， 那么这个“邻居”不应该由这个“联络专员”名下负责。他应该换到另一个能够解决他问题的“联络专员”名下。 形式主义是绝对不准存在的。 
 
Make Communication Assistants work effectively, so we as a single teacher, or a single monitor, do not have to take up extraordinary burdens. 
要使“联络专员”们有效地解决问题，以使我们作为势单力薄的老师或班长，不必背负非常的负担。 Please read: http://qgc.qq.com/272200860/t/1   "How to make "neighbors" and "communication assistants" work?"

Poll: I want to decide upon a "Class Song". Ideally, a "class song" should be one of the most popular CHINESE song. May I get suggestions from all classmates? Please feel free to contribute.
Visit the website http://laoshi.wikia.com/wiki/EnglishChineseSong and download the file "Youtube Download Sept 14.zip" . 
征求意见:我希望全班同学提议一下，选两首“班歌”。最理想的“班歌”最好是中国红的神曲，但用英语唱。 例:“我的歌声里”， “海阔天空”，王菲“传奇”英文版， 或由“好声音”等出名的歌。大家上Q群谈，选。 我找了它们的英文版歌词。 唱，加分。
Classmates: Please choose your favorite Chinese song, and find their English lyrics on the internet, or write English lyrics for them! If you can write, find, AND sing for us a Chinese song with English lyrics, I will give you 5 points!

The first thing you need to know is that in your own language you are usually a very fast speaker. When I 
do private classes with students I have them speak a few sentences in their own language and we both 
realize that he or she is speaking very fast. AT NO TIME do you ever speak slowly enough to use any 
TONGUE OR LIP POSITIONS in your language. 
In his new way of saying words YOU NEED TO SPEAK MUCH MORE SLOWLY to give yourself 
time to get into THE 10 ALPHABET POSITONS.
 
http://www.testden.com/accent-reduction/andykrieger.htm 
one should speak as slowly as he or she can which can give him or her enough time to think and to put his or her tongue in the right position in order to pronounce right and besides, one should say 2 to 3 words at a time with the help of one hand, thus he or she could get a proper rhythm."
 
http://www.testden.com/ES/accent-reduction/testimonials.htm 
Only in three hours time you are giving a complete package of accent reduction.It teaches how and where to place lips and tongue,how to take breath after making a pause and when to release it in pronouncing a word with the help of hand movement then indicating five stages of accent, nine groups of words and some other related things. 
     
http://www.andykrieger.com/speaking-effectively/ 
I taught my students to SPEAK MORE SLOWLY
That gives you time to PUT YOUR TONGUE AND LIPS INTO CERTAIN EXACT DIGITAL POSITIONS
Then you will make ever word have a LONG VOWEL
These long vowels give the speaker INTONATION, POWER, ELEGANCE, MAJESTY (all the traits that Ed and the President have).
for the students who will receive a printed copy in class next class from the monitor OR communication assistant 联络专员 ----you are still required to DOWNLOAD and READ before next week, even if you are not the one who prints.
I suggest, all students should email the text (文本) of these most important Ws 2 工具 files to your own email inbox, so that you can go online and check them every week. (YES! you need to do activities on them every week, not just in Week 2!)

A) Change Your Browser换浏览器
You are encouraged to use “Google.hk” and “en.Wikipedia.org” in Oral English class. However, Chinese browsers don't allow you to use these two sites.
口语课鼓励你使用“谷歌香港”与“英语维基百科”。但是，国内许多浏览器防止了你畅通使用这两个网页。
Don't use 360 or Baidu browsers. Download Chrome Browser!!!

Cable Car, Lisbon
A jam-packed cable car clacks over steep cobbled streets, bringing Lisboans downtown from Bairro Alto, the High Quarter, in 1965. The quarter's multistoried 17th-century buildings were once the city's tallest. The small vintage trams still operate today, navigating tight turns past markets, restaurants, and churches, sometimes getting caught in traffic jams.
My recommendation: Read 1-7 Wikipedia articles or National Geographic photo captions per week, even though you only need to write one English Diary entry per week. 我的建议：每周读1-7篇 维基百科里的词条文或国家地理图片短说明，虽然你们每周只需写一篇日记（抄国家地理，维基学后感也属于“日记”之列）。 Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Picture_of_the_day/Archive National Geographic * http://photography.nationalgeographic.com/photography/
 
* Find in the "Wikipedia Photos" section, photo captions that are not too short, and not too long. Just write down 30-40 words of a photo caption. That is called a "diary entry".
* Find a subject that you are interested in reading about on Wikipedia. Type in a word related to that subject in "search". Find an article that tells you the most interesting things about that subject. And write about 50-100 words of your own. Tell me what you have learned about that subject. That is called a "diary entry".

Example of Word Origin:
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/hone
1 before 950; Middle English (noun); Old English hān stone, rock; cognate with Old Norse hein hone; akin to cone. Old English hān stone; related to Old Norse hein/ "whetstone," Old English han "stone, rock, (boundary) stone," in Middle English "whetstone" (early 14c.), from Proto-Germanic *haino (cf. Old Norse hein "hone"). The verb is 1788, from the noun. Related: Honed ; honing.//

* An example of "Word Origin" can also be found on the website "Wiktionary", in the "Etymology" section:
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/program 
Etymology
From French programme 来自法语 programme, from Late Latin programma (“a proclamation, edict”) 来自晚期拉丁 programma (“宣言”，“圣旨”), from Ancient Greek πρόγραμμα (prógramma, “a written public notice, an edict”) 来自古希腊语 programma (书面公告，圣旨), from προγράφω (prográphō, “I set forth as a public notice”) 来自希腊语 prografo (我发一个公告，动词), from πρό (pró, “before”) + γράφω (gráphō, “I write”) 来自希腊语 pro (事先)+ grafo (我写，动词).
你能够今天找大概五个不同英语词的 “词源”（etymology）吗？ 刚才你找到了一个来源于希腊语的。
能不能找几个来源于 盎格鲁萨克森（Anglo-Saxon）, 日耳曼（Germanic）, 拉丁（Latin）及其他语言的呢？

L）利用老师教的方式来听紫书里的音频。而且这个 持续努力训练 是与英语四六级考试的成绩成正比的，你听的时间越长，你的成绩就越高。
Try to set a target % to understand them
Try the "three tricks" of listening: Play, and pause the record, and write down 1) the meaning, make your own sentence 2) key words you understand 3) "bleah" words that you can spell in Pinyin, but don't understand
: 
M) Create a “flash-card” to learn new idioms, expressions, phrases: Instructions are in the section ““Flashcard Booklet” (Memorizing vocabulary at random) (Pisces)” in the file “Ws 2 Tools 工具 教你如何做每周的作业”
: 
N) Learning, singing, reciting English lyrics and poems, especially when you can compare them to their Chinese translations, is an excellent way of learning vocabulary and expressions. 
对照着中译版地学唱，背英语歌词，诗歌，是极好的英语学习方法。 
Laoshi has created a website that contains great English song lyrics and their Chinese translations. You will learn these English songs word by word, and learn how to sing them. You are even required to select two or three “Class Songs” and we will have to sing these songs together this semester. 网址：* http://url.cn/Lhbbfp 
老师制作了一个网站。上面有很好的英语歌词以及它们的中译。你们经常上这个网站，一字一句地学唱上面的英文歌。我要求你们选择两三首“班歌”。我们要一起在课堂上唱。
I want to decide upon a "Class Song". Ideally, a "class song" should be one of the most popular CHINESE song. May I get suggestions from all classmates? Please feel free to contribute.
Visit the website http://laoshi.wikia.com/wiki/EnglishChineseSong 并下载 Youtube Download Sept 14.zip .
征求意见:我希望全班同学提议一下，选两首“班歌”。最理想的“班歌”最好是中国红的神曲，但用英语唱。 例:“我的歌声里”， “海阔天空”，王菲“传奇”英文版， 或由“好声音”等出名的歌。大家上Q群谈，选。 我找了它们的英文版歌词。 唱，加分。
Classmates: Please choose your favorite Chinese song, and find their English lyrics on the internet, or write English lyrics for them! If you can write, find, AND sing for us a Chinese song with English lyrics, I will give you 5 points!
Please email the lyrics of your favorite songs to your own email inbox. When we sing, just access it from your phone. 
Email 你心爱的歌词到你的邮箱。 全班唱的时候，打开邮箱看歌词。

Medals (集体奖章)
每周按踊跃分享日记的程度，及课前联络专员帮助组员的效率，及“组表演”的精彩程度： 我选择将该周“集体奖章”颁发给一个班。某班的集体奖章数决定期末总分，该班所有人统一提高多少分。 某班若无集体奖章。期末每人无统一提高分。 Medals decide Total Score enhancement points for every student across the entire class. 
The worst class I've seen is (a class without any medal) one which the top student with 100% participation teeyuan at A+, the bottom student with the lowest participation teeyuan at C-.
我见过一个最差的班（没有任何集体奖章），学期最高分（那个拿了100%铁元分的同学）拿了A+, 学期最低分（那个拿了最低铁元分的同学）拿了C-。

(This email is sent primarily to all Communication Assistants. Therefore there is no need for Monitors to forward it to these Assistants again. However, all Monitors are also given a carbon copy of it as well  老师已将本邮向所有联络专员发出了。班长们无需重复向专员们发。 班长们也获得了本邮的抄送本) 
 
One color per topic 每种颜色一个题目: 
 
* This email contains attachments of handouts up till Ws 7.  本邮包含附件：它们是从 Ws1 到  Ws7 的几乎所有handout文件。 但是班长仍然要每周告诉联络专员们，具体要印哪些文件。 因为我不指望每个联络专员都记得这么仔细。专员们不妨也把这些附件，都发给你们自己的“邻居”们！但是仍然要每周精确地告诉他们，要带哪份到课堂！ 
 
* Hello Communication Assistants! You have been appointed, or democratically elected as Communication Assistants (or Submonitors) . 哈啰各位联络专员： 你已经被集体委任，或民主选举为联络专员（或“副班长”）。 
 
* Following is the link that tells you how Communication Assistants should work 以下链接会告诉你“联络专员”是用来做什么的:   _______   "How to make neighbors and "

* 每周通知 集 
http://laoshi.wikia.com/wiki/14_F_Announcement_Log 
     本页是 2014 年秋学期的“Announcement Log”每周通知页。 每周最重要的通知和提示，首先会在这里找到，它们会指导你们找 完成下周作业的 资源及方法步骤。 “班长-联络专员小组”有义务将这个通知的信息通过微信，email，口头等方法转达给班上尽量多的同学，以使他们知道，这个口语课其实是 有老师指示的，而不是没有指示的。这个口语课，训练并评分的，其实是这个班的全体同学，是否有联络和沟通的能力，去用自己的能力找出老师给他们的作业指示。 如果有这种能力的话，全班作为一个集体的分数，都会最终得到满意的合格分数。 如果全班缺乏这种能力，那班里即使是本身英语水平特别高的学霸，都难以取得满意的分数。 
以下是 2013 秋学期 及 2014 春学期 的 announcement logs 链接。 尤其是秋学期的每周安排很相似。所以这两个 announcement logs 里面的很多通知，其实与本学期同一周的通知，是相同的：

* Names and contact info for Communication Assistants (or Submonitors) are as follows for all my classes 以下为各班 联络专员 及 副班长名单: 
_______ 
 
^^^^^^ 
%%%%% 
 
 
 
 
%%%%% 
^^^^^^ 
 
Duties for Communication Assistants are 联络专员的职责: 
* 1 Directly reviewing Weekly Instruction Emails from the Monitor, to whom I usually send out these same emails between Fri-Sun each week. If you do not receive a Weekly Instruction Email from the Monitor by Sunday every week, as Communication Assistant, you should QQ, WeChat or email your Monitor or Submonitor and ask whether they have received a Weekly Instruction Email from the Teacher. 每周直接从班长那获得“老师每周指示邮件”。 老师每周都直接向班长及副班长发出这些“每周指示邮件”，通常在周五-周日之间。 如果联络专员直到周日，都没有收到老师指示邮件，那你们就要立刻 Q,微，邮或短  班长/副班长，询问她们有无获得老师的指示邮件。 
 
* 2 Immediately emailing the same Weekly Instruction Email to your "neighbors" as soon as you receive it from your Monitor. 收到“老师指示邮件”之后，立刻把这个邮转发给自己的四五个“邻居”。 
 
* 3 Print handouts for your "neighbors" (usually around 5 people), or make arrangement with "neighbors" so that they will print handouts themselves. As Communication Assistants, you are RESPONSIBLE for the "neighbors", so that they will know which handouts to * read, * to print, AND * to bring into class every week. If a neighbor is missing a certain handout in his/her hands in class, Communication Assistants are responsible. 为自己的四五个“邻居”印每周handout文件。或是，每周给予自己四五个邻居精确信息去印，读什么文件。 联络专员 是要为“所有邻居在下周课堂上人手一份必备文件”负全责的！ 所以专员们要和邻居们商量好，怎样传达精确指示信息，谁印。 如果某个邻居手头上缺了一份必备文件，他的专员要负责！ 
 
* 4 For questions regarding what exact homeworks to do for next week, and how to do them well, each Communication Assistant will tell his/her own "neighbors", that he/she himself is the first person they should ask. 针对“每周该做所有什么作业，怎样把它们做好？”这个问题，联络专员要告诉自己的“邻居”， 他/她是 邻居们应该 首个提问的 问题解答人。 
 
* 5 For questions regarding what exact homeworks to do for next week, and how to do them well, each Communication Assistant may call all "neighbors" together to read and translate handouts for that week, to figure out the best way to succeed. 针对“每周该做所有什么作业，怎样把它们做好？”这个问题，联络专员可以尝试把几个“邻居”召集起来集体研究并翻译该周的handout文件，直到搞懂，并做出成功的表演准备为止。 
 
* 6 For questions regarding what exact homeworks to do for next week, and how to do them well, Communication Assistants may contact Monitor or other Communication Assistants, and get together to read and translate handouts for that week, to figure out the best way to succeed. 针对“每周该做所有什么作业，怎样把它们做好？”这个问题，联络专员可以尝试把 班长， 或者其他几个联络专员 召集起来集体研究并翻译该周的handout文件，直到搞懂，并做出成功的表演准备为止。 
 
* 7 Communication Assistants should divide the entire class. Each Assistant will take 4-5 "neighbors", until there is nobody in the class left without a Communication Assistant. Monitor is responsible for assigning students to Communication Assistants. 所有联络专员必须均匀的分配全班同学。每个专员大概分配四五个同学作为“邻居”，直到班里没有一个同学是没有专员带领的。 班长要带头把班里同学分配给各个联络专员，直到分完为止！   
 
 
Duties for "Submonitors" 副班长职责: 
 
* If you are just a Submonitor but not a Communication Assistant: You and your Monitor will be directly receiving from the Teacher, Weekly Instruction Emails. Normally, only Monitor forwards this email to Communication Assistants, not the Submonitor. 如果你只是个副班长，不是个联络专员，你该知道你和班长，会每周同时从老师那获得每周指示邮件。 平常，班长把指示邮件转发给专员们就够了，所以不用你操心。 
 
* If by Sunday, you as Submonitor, have received Weekly Instruction Emails from the Teacher, but found out that Communication Assistants and other classmates have not received this email from the Monitor, you will both * forward Weekly Instruction email to the Communication Assistants, and * ask the Monitor why she has NOT received this email from the Teacher, or has not forwarded it to classmates. 但如果到了周日，在副班长已经收到老师指示邮件后，发现专员们和其他同学们还没有从班长那收到老师邮件， 那副班长就要 * 转发每周指示邮件到联络专员处，并且 * Q,微，短，邮 班长，询问她为何还没从老师那获邮，或 为何还没向专员们转邮。   
 
* If Monitor has not received Weekly Instruction Emails from the Teacher by Sunday, she should contact the Submonitor to ask whether she has received it. For my class 14F 4-5, there are only two Communication Assistants: One for Boys and one for Girls. These two people directly receive emails from the Teacher. Sherry is the Submonitor. Contact Sherry if you haven't received emails from the Teacher by Sunday. 如果班长到了周日，还没从老师那获邮，班长就要立刻 Q,微，短，邮 副班长，询问她是否从老师那获邮。   
 
 
* If you are BOTH a Submonitor and a Communication Assistant, than you should also do what a Communication Assistant should do. And the Monitor knows that you have already directly received Weekly Instruction Emails from the Teacher every week 
 
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 
Communication Assistants! Following are emails I have sent the Monitor from the beginning of the semester up till this point. Have you ever received them from the Monitor? If you haven't, please ask the Monitor to send the missing ones to you, now! 联络专员们： 以下是我从本学期初已经向班长发出的最重要指示邮件！ 你们记得从班长那接受过所有这些邮件吗？ 如果你觉得漏了哪篇邮件，立刻向班长询问，让她向你重新转发漏了的邮件。 
Monitors may have forgotten to send Communication Assistants the following emails 班长们可能忘记了发给四个“联络专员”以下文件： 
 
Ws 1 口语: Hello Oral English Class! (Please print Ws Handouts; Please start to do your homework)

I need to reiterate the duty of monitors:
我需要重申班长的职责：
The MOST important duty of a monitor, is to:
班长最重要的职责，是：
* Receive emails directly from the Teacher, and understand the instructions of these emails.
直接从老师处接关于下一节课内容指导的邮件，并明白这些指导的内容。
* And then, to directly email the 4-5 Communication Assistants these instructions as understood by the monitor, so that these Communication Assistants will fulfil their responsibilities, BEFORE they come to the class of a week.
然后，班长直接邮寄这些内容指示的精神给四到五个“联络专员”，以便使这些联络专员在 每周到达课室之前，就完成他们的职责！
* That means, Monitor should email all Communication Assistants BEFORE the week's class.
也就是说：班长要在每周上课之前（之前几天），就直接以邮件指示她的所有联络专员。班长每周直接通过邮件指示联络专员印哪些，带哪些文件到课堂，每周什么具体课堂活动指示。每周都必须提醒。严禁一劳永逸。
* The biggest responsibility of the Communication Assistants, is outlined in the email:
Ws 4 你们被荣选为联络专员 Greeting to Communication Assistants AND Submonitors
发件人：Laoshi 时 间：2014年9月26日(星期五) 晚上7:34
AND outlined in the link: http://qgc.qq.com/272200860/t/1 "How to make "neighbors" and "communication assistants" work?"
联络专员最重要的职责，在上述主题的邮件里，以及上述题目的链接里，已有说明。
* The biggest responsibility of the Communication Assistants, is to make sure all of their neighbors have the proper handouts in their hands BEFORE they come to a week's class. If some "neighbors" are missing some handouts for a certain week, their Communication Assistants are fully responsible.
联络专员最重要的职责，是要保证，他们自己的所有“邻居”，在每周到课堂之前，手上都拿着印出的该周必用的文件。 如果某些“邻居”手头没有该周必用的文件，他们的“联络专员”应负全责！ 无论是联络专员自己印，还是联络专员清晰指示邻居们印，最终都要保证，所有邻居手头都有必用文件。
* The Teacher DOES NOT email "neighbors" directly. The Teacher DOES NOT email Communication Assistants directly. (The class 14F 4-5 is a special case)
老师不会直接向全班“邻居们”发邮件。 老师不会，不会 直接向“联络专员们”发邮件。 （14F 4-5 是个特殊例子。这个班有两个老师直接联络专员）
* The Monitor DOES NOT email all classmates directly.
班长不能，不能直接向全班发指示邮件。严禁一劳永逸。严禁不通过细致每周指导，就指望全班同学尽到读懂下周课堂指示，并把必要文件印到手。 根据全班同学的纪律水平，不可能做到令班长一劳永逸！
* The Monitor emails ALL Communication Assistants DIRECTLY!
班长必须，必须 直接 邮寄 指示 给 四到五个 “联络专员”。 必须 直接。
* If a "neighbor" (common classmate) is puzzled by certain homework directions and asks the Monitor, the first thing Monitor does, is to ask this neighbor to direct his question to his own Communication Assistant. The second thing Monitor does, is to tell ALL Communication Assistants, the correct answer regarding the same homework directions.
如果一个“邻居”被某个作业指示搞蒙了，问到班长的话， 班长必须做的第一件事，是叫这个“邻居”去直接问他的联络专员。 班长要做的第二件事，是把回答这个同学问题的答案，直接 QQ 给四-五 个联络专员。
MANY STUDENTS DON'T KNOW HOW TO PREPARE FOR "Honeymoon O Role Play// Where Have You Been N Talk Show".
^^^^^
YES!. That means, your Monitor should know that, her job is to tell all Communication Assistants. And Communication Assistants should know, their job is to tell each one of their "neighbors". 
^^^^^^^^^
Communication Assistants should tell their neighbors: Please have lunch together with your "Number Group" groupmates, and then use "brainstorming" techniques to get "Honeymoon O, Where Have You Been N" ideas. After getting these ideas, please have several groupmates to start "telling the Honeymoon Story" to the entire group. 
And then the number group will come to class. I WILL call this group to the stage to act out the "Honeymoon Story" role play.
Not all classmates understand English instructions. Communication Assistants, you have 4-5 "neighbors" to help. They need to hear instructions in Chinese. 不是所有“邻居”都能够读懂上面的英语指示。“联络专员们”，你们每人有4-5个“邻居”需要听懂你们用中文解释给他们的 “角色表演”和“脱口秀”指示。

This is my "Weekly Regular Email".
Hello!
Remember: I only directly email you (Monitors). I directly answer your questions. But you directly email your Communication Assistants (and you directly answer Assistants' questions). And Communication Assistants directly email their "neighbors".

All students can try to write on ALL KINDS of English Diary topics to share this week:
* Word Origins,  * National Geographic Photo Caption, * I've Learned Something New From Wikipedia, * Yuanfang Diary
所有学生被鼓励写 各种 英语日记题目 在课堂上分享，包括：
* 英语词词源 * 国家地理杂志图片解释（短） * 我从英语维基学到了的新东西 * 元芳日记，等等
I have some really good idea: All students can also try to write on the current class topics: * Honeymoon Story, * Where Have You Been
我有个很好的主意： 我鼓励学生写有关今周课堂课题： * 蜜月故事  * 我去过哪里
If you have performed "Honeymoon Story" role play. Just write a "Honeymoon Story" diary from your memory of the group's role play.
If your group haven't performed the "Honeymoon Story" yet, try to write a funny story line and share in class this week!
Then, your "Honeymoon Diary" story line is REALLY going help your group's Honeymoon role play this week!
如果你们组已经表演了“蜜月故事短剧”，根据你的记忆把剧情写成日记。 如果你们组还没表演“蜜月短剧”， 那你就写一篇搞笑的蜜月故事作为日记在课堂上分享。 然后，今周你们组上台表演蜜月短剧时，就大大受你写的日记的剧情所帮助了！
Do you still remember how to do "National Geographic Photo Caption" or "Wikipedia Photo Caption"? You are allowed to bring 2 captions in (only 30-40 words each).
还记得怎样写“国家地理杂志 或 维基  图片解释”吗？ 我每周允许你带 两 条图片解释进课室分享（最好抄到40词就停止，不要抄太长。尽量保持在30-40个词的长度）。
下面就是怎样抄 图片解释的 一步一步说明：

Ws 7 关于“期中表演：脱口秀”的紧急通知 Urgent Notice Regarding These "Mid-Term Tasks: Talk Shows"
A student has asked me: Why aren't we having Mid-Term Tests yet in Oral English class? I think it is this student's Communication Assistant's job to tell him now: Oral English Classes throughout the whole school have changed "Mid-Term Tests" entirely into "Mid-Term Tasks" four semesters ago. And how to properly conduct all "tasks" has been clearly stated in the QQ group handout "Ws 1 Intro 大家介绍 F". However, it is the Communication Assistant's full responsibility to explain this particular instruction to "neighbors".
有个学生问我：口语课怎么还没有其中考试? 我认为这个学生的“联络专员”有义务告诉他，全校的口语课已经在四个学期前基本上把所有“期中考”改为“组表演”或“表演”。 具体怎样“组表演”则详细写在Q群文件 "Ws 1 Intro 大家介绍 F"指示中。但是，把该文件精神转达给其他“邻居”，仍然应该是有关“联络专员”的职责。
Both "role plays" and "talk shows" are "tasks". I prefer to select one role play and one talk show from among several role plays and talk shows to create each student's Mid-Term Tasks Score. Training students to conduct a talk show properly is a great challenge. But it is the only right thing to do to keep trying without giving up.
“角色扮演”和“脱口秀”同属于“组表演”。 我倾向于选择一个角色扮演，一个组表演作为每个学生的期中分数。训练学生成功表演“脱口秀”有一定难度。但是唯一正确的做法，是不断努力直至成功为止。
In the past semester, even deriving Mid-Term Scores from the first talk show was easy: Because in the past I put only one group at a time on a "stage" of chairs facing the class. That way, this group would think that each groupmate should at least complete a prepared speech on time so as to walk off stage as soon as possible with enough score points. As a result, in the past, groupmates usually end up with 3-5 score points for each talk show, rarely getting 0 point by the time the bell rings.
在过往的学期里，我从第一个脱口秀就能够较为容易地得出学生的期中组表演成绩：因为过去，我真是把一个一个组独立地放在面对全班的“讲台”的一排椅子上的。 那样，至少表演的一组意识到他们要在指定时间内完成他们准备的“讲稿”并尽快离开“讲台”。结果，大多数组友能够得到三到五个铁元的表演分，极少有零分的情况。
But, I realized this old method was not ideal, and perhaps even wrong:
1. Putting one group on stage at a time is VERY time consuming. But this is not the worst problem.
2. A more important flaw is that: * While I want a real "talk show" in which all classmates (audience and stage presenters) interacted with each other, some less active groups chose to read "prepared speeches" with no interaction even among stage presenters. * When I had to coach stage presenters to speak, some students in the audience disrespectfully played with cell phones, chatted in Chinese, or even completely turned their back on the stage presenters without willing to learn anything by listening. And this last outcome has been criticized by teachers and students many times. An Oral English class should not just focus on one presenting group, while neglecting the audience's need to interact and learn!
但是，我意识到过往的做法可能是不理想，甚至可能是错误的：
1. 把每组独立放上“讲台”十分浪费时间。但是这不是主要的问题。
2. 更重要的问题是： * 我要的是一个真正的“脱口秀”（凤凰卫视 一虎一席谈，铿锵三人行）。 所有讲台上的嘉宾都争相互相插话。 连观众都争相和嘉宾插话。 但是过往的“讲台对着全班”的做法，让表演的某些组认为他们无非是要讲每个个人独立准备的“讲稿”，完全不和其他嘉宾及观众对辩。 * 过往我辅助讲台表演组时，有些观众很不尊重表演组，自己玩手机，用中文和其他观众聊别的，甚至完全背对着表演组拒绝听他们的讲秀。 这种现象被老师们，同学们数次指出批评： 一个口语课在任何时候是不能只关注一个表演组，而忽略了观众的互动学习。
Based on the principle that an ideal Oral English class should be an English Corner style circle chat in which students interacted, an ideal "talk show" should be as close to a "circle chat" as possible. A prepared "circle chat" style talk show should be much easier than an unprepared circle chat like English Corner. Furthermore, this "circle chat" style talk show should focus on benefiting EVERY student by giving him/her the chance to speak, and be encouraged to speak through the Score Points system.
由于：一个理想的口语课，应该效仿英语角的大圈聊天里所有同学互动的形式，所以一个理想的“脱口秀”也要尽量接近这种大圈形式才行。 一个通过“头脑风暴”准备过的“大圈聊天”型脱口秀，应该也比完全没准备过的“英语角”更为容易入戏。 在者，这种“大圈聊天”应该侧重于给每个学生说话的机会，并通过“组表演分”激发他们互动的积极性。
But since your own seat is now your stage, you need to realize that you are actually on stage.
但由于你现在所做的课室位就是同一个“讲台”，所以你必须首先意识到自己就坐在讲台上。
I thank all the students who are open to communicate with me regarding any difficulties: * You may be afraid to commit mistakes, fearing that may result in a lower task score. * You may be refraining from interacting with students you do not entirely understand. * You may be afraid of appearing to follow the teacher's instructions in a wrong way, resulting in a less favorable impression on the teacher.
我感谢所有敢于和我沟通，反映困难的同学： *你们可能害怕说错，害怕说错了就得了低分。 *你们可能觉得不完全明白上一个同学的话，怕跟他互动讲错话题不合时宜。 * 你们可能害怕把老师的指示理解错了，影响到老师对你的印象。
All of these difficulties are legitimate and I am here to solve them with you:
你们反映的这些想法，是合理的。我很乐意和你一起解决这些困难：
* First, do not be afraid of the teacher. I am only concerned with efficiency. I rarely hold negative feelings personally. Consider me a friend who is straightforward, a drill sergent who is treating everyone the same without being affected by favoritism. We are solving problems openly, with only efficiency in mind.
首先，不要害怕老师。我只关心效率。我从不对学生持个人的负面态度。你要把我看作一个耿直的朋友，一个一视同仁的军训教官，不偏袒，不就人不就事。 我每次遇到问题都最公开干脆地面对，效率第一，其他神马都是浮云。
* Don't be afraid of making mistakes. First I like you to show me how you say it, so that you give the chance to show you how I say it. I don't do nitpicking correction in a way that discourages you. If you are bold, and dare to try expressing a meaning, you get a point. You just make the same point as someone who might say it more prefectly. I usually understand a meaning easily without requiring you to say it perfectly. You might hear me following by saying it in "my way". But you will not hear me stopping you only because "you've said it wrong".
不要害怕犯错误。 第一我很欢迎你演示给我听你是怎么说一句话的，这样就方便我展示给你听我通常是怎么说的。 我不鸡蛋挑刺地，以“不要说错”为由妨碍你表达自己。如果你是敢于表达自己意思的，无论多么不完美，我给你一句话的分数，就好像我给一个完美表达一句话的同学一句话的分数一样。首先是勇敢分，是一视同仁的。 我通常较容易理解你的意思，不需要你用完美方法来说它。 然后你可能听到我用“我自己的方法”来复述你的话。 但是你不会听到我说：“你说的不完美就不要说。” 因为如果我那样做，就是完全错的。
* Don't be afraid of saying something you think can make you a point, even if you don't entirely understand what the last student said. If you think it is something you've prepared during "brainstorming" and just say it, you will most likely make me happy.
即使没听懂上个同学说什么，不要害怕跟他互动，去表达你认为能赢得你一句话分数的意思。如果你认为某个意思是你“头脑风暴”是准备出的意思，就干脆地说出来。通常我会很开心你这样做的。 甚至不需要和上个同学的意思 不跑题。 跑题不要紧。 我会给你分数的。
* Saying something imperfect is ALWAYS better than refraining from saying anything. I will most likely give you points for even saying something imperfect. I will most likely understand some meaning from what you say. Your classmates will most likely understand some meaning from what you say.
即使是讲了不完美的表达方式，永远比不敢表达好多了。 我通常会给你分数的，即使是不完美。 我通常会明白你的意思。 你的同学也通常会明白你所说的意思。
* Asking your classmates in Chinese will not get you any point. Ask them in English.
Whispering to your classmates will not get you any point. Talk to your classmates more loudly. It is like a talk show in TV. It is like "Tiger Talk" on Phoenix TV.
用中文向同学们问：你刚说什么？ 通常不会为你赢得一句分数。改用英文问你就能得分。
和同学耳语通常不会为你赢得一句分数。 改用大声说，我就会听到。你就会得到一句分数。
一个脱口秀就好像 凤凰卫视的 “一虎一席谈”加上“铿锵三人行”。

Possible English Diary Topic 可选的英语日记题目：
* "Society" is like a "big teacher". Sometimes when you "try" and "do", this "teacher" shoots you down and gives you an "F". Is this why some people feel more comfortable lurking behind others, in the safety of mediocrity, when all other people refrain from trying and doing, and remain mediocre and passive? If there is no absolute "right ways" and "wrong ways" in life, but only "choices", what will justify your "trying" and "doing" if that is your choice? Is it the hope that the "Big Teacher" will eventually give you a "thumb up"? Or is it the real "F" that you see written on those who lurk in mediocrity? 
* 社会就好像一个“大老师”。有时你每每“尝试”，“作为”，这个“老师”都给你一个大大的“F”，或把你当出头鸟，一出头就一锤打下去。这就是为什么有些人觉得潜水打酱油，躲在羊群的“不尝试不作为”背后，能找到安全感吗？ 如果人生无绝对的“对”或“错”，只有“选择”，那你又怎样辩护“尝试，作为”这个选择呢？ 是觉得那个“大老师”会最终为你竖大拇指呢？还是觉得神马大老师都是浮云呢？还是在那些平庸潜水酱油中的羊群身上，看到了真正的“F”呢？
Suggested English Diary Topic 可选英语日记题:
* What do the (British/Japanese/Thais/Koreans...etc.) eat at breakfast/lunch/tea time/dinner? Go to en.wikipedia.org and find out more about this cuisine. What are its characteristics?
（任选一国：比如说，英/日/泰/韩...国人）在早/午/下午茶/晚餐吃什么？上维基上找找该国料理有何特点！
* Yuanfang, what do you think of this: What you are interested in during college, you will be interested in after you graduate and enter workforce. So, what do you mean by "getting a career based on interest", if the main interests during college, are computer games, karaoke, WeChat friend-feeds and pop idols?
元芳，你怎么看：你在大学对什么有兴趣，你在出来工作后就对什么有兴趣。所以我问你：你说“要找一个合你兴趣的工作”是什么意思呢，如果你在大学中真正感兴趣的东西其实是：网游，唱K，微信朋友圈，偶像？
* Two of your Alphabet Groups have finished R:Restaurant this week. All of the groups need to finish both R, and of course Q:East-West Differences in Workshop 9. That means: R and Q are "class topics". If you write your English Diary on R or Q, it really helps your performance in Final Exam, and your preparation for the Talkshow Q:East-West Differences.
你们班有两个字母组已经完成了R：餐厅故事。跟着在第九周，全班所有字母组都会把R和Q：东西方差异剩下的搞定它的。也就是说，R跟Q是“课堂讲题”。如果你把“课堂讲题”作为日记题目，那么肯定就对你期末考很有帮助，而且对你们第九周的（重要！）脱口秀：Q：东西方差异的准备，十分有帮助！
* This week, I want to share with you some of the Wikipedia articles that have to do with world culture. You can choose to write on them.

This is regarding how to make up for the missing "tasks" necessary for your Mid-Term scores:
I need to decide upon your Mid-Term score now. All the tasks O, N, R, Q, Menu are used.
However for many students, some or ALL of "task" scores are missing! I am sorry for not giving you enough time to do talk shows. And also I'm sorry that we didn't have time to make up for roleplays performed by your groups, when you were absent. But I know that your efforts and English capacities warrant better Mid-Term grades than 0 or F.
这封邮是有关：怎样“补考”某些同学错过的“期中考 组表演”分数。
我现在必须计算你们的期中考分了。我使用的数据来自 O:蜜月故事，N:去哪儿，R:餐厅故事，菜单。来自以上全部“tasks”。
但是很多同学的 某些，或 全部（!）“task组表演”分数 为 零分 或 一分！
我很抱歉没有给你们足够时间讲脱口秀。很抱歉在你缺课错过了你们自己组的短剧后，没有机会加入别的组来表演。但我知道你的努力准备，及你的英语水平，远远不该评零分或不及格的！
No worries: I have listed below, the names of students who need to "make up" for the tasks they miss. You don't need to "make up" by doing "talkshows" or "roleplays". You only need to make up these missing tasks by writing English Diary entries on the missed topics (O, N, R, Q), AND SHARE these diary entries in class!  The way to make up for "Menu" is for you to make a small menu (by your self? with help from your dorm-mate?) with many "Laoshi-style dish names" (long dish names, not short dish names).
别担心：我在下面这个表，把一些缺了一个或多个组表演成绩的同学的名字都列进去了。你们得“补考”！ “补考”并不是说重新上台演短剧。“补考”的方式是：你们只需要就你们所缺的组表演题，写一篇或多篇英语日记（适用于 O,N,R,Q）, 并在课堂上举手分享！ “补考”菜单这个组作业的方法是，你自己（或在室友帮助下）制作一个小菜单，里面必须写有很多“老师式的菜名”（也就是长菜名，不是短菜名。问同学就知道怎么写。）
Following are the names of students who have got 0 or only 1 point on the corresponding "tasks". If you share a "Make Up Diary" on a missing task below, you can make up to 3 points! That means, you make up for up to 60% of that task! If I am happy I might give you even more than 3 points.
下表列出来的名字，就是在某些组表演里，得到了零分或一分的同学。你必须写“补考”日记。而且下节课我一叫到你们分享日记，立刻举手，并喊“我的是补考日记，不是一般日记”。我听完可以给你多至三分！这就是说，你会补回满分60%的该 组表演的分数！ 如果你的日记让我高兴了，我或许还可以给你超过三分。
Write Diary entries on the missing "task" topics, and make the missing menus, if you find your names below. Next class, when I call on the class to share English Diaries, please raise your hand and say "This is a Make-Up Diary!" And I will put the 1-3 points in your "Mid-Term task scores" instead of "common teeyuan". VERY IMPORTANT!   And, hand me the menus if you see your names below in the "menu" column.
如果你名字在下表，就请写你错过的这些“组表演”，或制作你错过的菜单了！ 下节课，我叫到全班分享日记时，你最好率先举手并喊“是补考日记，不是一般日记”，那我就会把日记的分数由两分变成三分，并写在“组表演”一栏，而不是“普通参与分”一栏。 这很重要！
If you want to get A, this is now you get A!
如果你还希望在我课上得到A的话，这就是怎样得到A的方法！

Preparation for CC-Hot Social Topic: Each Alphabet Group must choose a number of "hot social topics" on CC matching the number of group members. The talkshow is a "debate" of opinions regarding these chosen topics (I disagree! I agree! I know why!) In order to prepare for the talk show, all groupmates should choose the same 4-6 hot social topics from the handout CC now (by QQing each other). For each hot social topic, ALL groupmates must answer ALL of the following questions: 1 What is the definition of this hot social topic? 2 What is its meaning/significance? 3 Where did I first see it? How? 4 Use an example/story to explain this hot social topic. 5 Why does this hot social topic exist?
After reading the above 5 questions and all 4-6 Hot Social Topics chosen by groupmates, and answering all questions on an English Diary, 2-6 groupmates may come to lunch together, and use one "questioner" to brainstorm this lunch group into sharing all answers to all questions. Please bring this English Diary topic to Ws 11 class.
怎样准备CC：社会热门话题？每个字母组必须选择和组成员人数相当的“社会话题”数。这个脱口秀是个辩论（我不同意！我同意！我知道为什么！） 准备的时候，每个组员通过QQ互相告知组里选了哪几个具体的社会热题。就每个热题，所有组友都应该回答下面所有话题：1这个热题的定义。2它有什么重要意义？3你在什么场合下第一次见到它？4用一个例子/故事说明这个热题。5它为什么存在？
自己回答了就4-6个社会热题的上述五个问题之后，写答案在英语日记里。2-6个组友聚在一起吃午饭，并用一个“问问题人”来指导在座组友分享出日记里的回答。把日记带到ws11课堂上。
Preparation for DD-Fictional Company: Each Alphabet Group must read the "questioner questions" on handout DD: "1 Name of our group's company. 2 Motto of our group's company. 3 History of... * Why does our group's company globalize... etc."
The goal is to put on stage a "roleplay" or "talkshow" called "A Fictional Company founded by our Alphabet Group" in Ws 11 (Nov17-21).

Oral English Class Manifesto
----
* My English is good
* I should never say "my English is not good enough"
* I should always say "my English could be better"
* I should always show my English.
* I should never hide my English.
* If I show others my English, then I will improve my English.
* I learned the "Rules of English" in the past 10 years during primary school and high school. But I will also learn the "English as a living language" in Oral English class.
* "Life of English" is more important than "Rules of English". Don't worry about rules. I want to LIFE to my English, so that it becomes a LIVING LANGUAGE.
#1 when you want to say "I don't know" in my class, you should stop right there (because I would make you stand up if you say "I don't know")
Instead, you should say: "Help me classmates! Help me!"
#2 When you want to say "My English is poor",  you should stop right there (because I would make you stand up if you say "My English is poor")
Instead, you should say: "My English could be better. I love improving my English! I love my English!"

期末考试，口语，2014秋学期
(* 期末温习所需文件，必须自行在 “群空间” http://qun.qzone.qq.com/group 下载。* 务必下载文件： “Ws 15 Final Exam 期末考 Advices 建议 HH”，“Ws 15 期末考试中译简版” 以及 “Ws 2 Tools 工具 Exam Bonus Questions S”)
* 口语期末考试将于2014年12月9日周二之后，在4109课室 准时举行。全班都要出勤期末考第一周。不批准任何迟了的请假请求。 考试期间绝对不准将一个班分割。学生们必须以观察同学考试作为一个最佳学习过程。
* 如果某同学在考试的第一周在不被批准的情况下擅自缺席，将必然失去任何准考，补考资格。
* “请假单”之类东西必须与老师事先通知申请。 迟一点都不得批准。
请记得： Ws14 (Wk15) 的周二班就开始考试了（在十二月九号）！  而所有周四班要在Ws16(Wk17)的周二（在十二月廿三号）上课，因为那一周的周四是圣诞假期假期！！！ 
%%%
* 考试必须采取一位同学面对全班同学进行脱口秀的形式。
* 考时必须每位同学进行的六分钟的脱口秀（准许超出一两分钟）。不得少于六分钟。
%%%
* 在脱口秀中的全句（含有完整意思的语段）的数目，将是衡量脱口秀分数的最重要标准。 而：
- 声音的洪亮将直接提升一句话被算作“全句”的几率。
- 在脱口秀中应用 “Flash Card”中学到的有用成语，短语表达方式，直接提升一句话被算作“全句”的几率。(详见 Ws 2 Tools 工具 教你如何做每周的作业)
- “因此”，“并且”，“所以”等连词的使用，及“每个句子必然有完整的动词”的原则，会直接提升一句话被算作“全句”的几率。
- 吊儿郎当，敷衍的态度，搞小动作，扭扭捏捏，含糊不清，吞吞吐吐，结结巴巴，神情木呐，机械性声调，及说中文词，将大大影响句子被算作“全句”的几率。
-“死寂”的出现，浪费时间，极端拖延速度，将大大影响一句话是否算是“全句”，甚至会“吃掉”一整句话。
- 在某个合理时间范围超出后，几秒钟的“死寂”甚至能“杀死”整个脱口秀，使其得不到满意分数。
%%%
* 在六分钟内，一个 速度正常或流利，声音洪亮，完全不出现“死寂”，“吞吞吐吐”，每句话动词格式完整的同学 说出来的“全句”的数量，将被定为 A （九十分）的绝对标准。
* 但是一个获得 A(九十分）的同学，必须通过回答三至四题“附加题”（Bonus Questions）以获得 A+ (一百分满分）。
* 一个未获得 A (九十分以下）的同学，必须通过回答三至四题“附加题”以获得 A (九十分)。
* 一个未及格（六十分以下）的同学，必须通过回答三至四题“附加题”以达到合格（六十分）
%%%
* 脱口秀选题最好从 Ws 15 Final Exam 期末考 Advices 建议 HH 中选三四题（或是选最合适的本学期课堂课题，其他自选话题可能要事先向老师申请批准）。至少准备好三四题，然后脱口秀至少讲三题，第四题以防六分钟内内容不足分数不足时救急之用。
%%%
* 在台上单独展示脱口秀的考生，绝对不允许带任何讲稿上台，一张纸都不行。
* 但是课时一开始，所有考生允许在黑板上有限空间，自觉地，简短地，写上不超过10点“记忆要点”。但是他们必须在被叫到候考前一分钟，就停止写黑板。
* 被叫到候考时仍未在黑板写“记忆要点”的同学，仍必须准时考试。如无任何助记要点，咎由自取。
%%%
* 这次考试不是考你  是否能硬背写成犒的答案（你的稿会被没收），它考的是，你能否按部就班地记住，并回答最重要的questioner questions（头脑风暴中问题人问的问题）.如果最重要的questioner questions在考试时在脑海中响起，那你的应答就会自如。
* 如果背稿背答案，分数就会很低。你们组下周表演前，一定要抽空在课后 与三两个组友/室友一起，“集体谈练”期末选题。
* 口语课考的是每位同学帮助同班，同组同学超越别的班的能力，而非与同班同学毫不互助地 竞争的能力。
* 因此，尽量避免完全没有期末考备考伙伴，而完全独自备考的不利情形。
* 因为，这次口语课考的并不是 你独自写稿背稿的能力，而是考你与伙伴们在备考时通过互相对话，把所有“questioner questions”的要点知晓纯熟的能力。
%%%
* 期末考试各种考题选项已发给所有同学。
* 务必下载文件： “Ws 15 Final Exam 期末考 Advices 建议 HH”，“Ws 15 期末考试中译简版” 以及 “Ws 2 Tools 工具 Exam Bonus Questions S”

如果“邻居”还没收到此邮，必须向“联络专员”询问有否从班长那收到。
DD: 你们组整个组要创建一个虚拟公司。这个公司可以变成一个短剧或脱口秀。 有几个头脑风暴问题需要你们组同学几个人上课前就聚一起回答完（每个问题每人回答一句），包括 *公司名及座右铭 *公司历史 *经营什么服务 * 每个组友做什么（最好和你专业有关） * 为什么全球化？怎么实现商业计划？ * 有什么竞争，挑战？ 每个部门怎么应对？  等等
CC: 整个组要选5-6个社会热门话题，并回答 *话题定义... * 举例子或说故事来说明该例子 ... 等几个问题。上课前几个人就头脑风暴好，每人就每个“*”问题回答一句话，也就是说不能一个人做“唛霸”把所有东西全讲完。

（班长请把以下内容email给四个“联络专员”及你的“邻居”。联络专员请叫所有邻居用笔抄下以下要求带到课堂。）
第十三周（12月1-5日）课堂一开始就要： 
1） 讲新闻联播： 每条新闻全组所有人每人一句，每条新闻时长各一分钟，总共10-15条新闻。新闻要全部来自 ClickHole, The Onion 和 English Wikipedia Current Events 三个网站。 
2）按照FF上要求的“求职面试”问题，来做一对一（快速相亲模式）的“求职面试”，面试官是要记住求职者的五个类别的（~~）答案，写英语日记，来赚取三分的。“求职者的面试”英语日记是不许写面试官本人的答案的。 
3）脱口秀最忌：
* 最忌写了稿背稿。不应该背稿！ 而应该记住“问问题人的问题”，然后根据记住的这些问题，灵活地说“我元芳怎么想”，“我反对/赞成某同学的观点，因为...”
* 最忌自己写了稿，等班里脱口秀谈到自己的话题。有时候永远等不到自己的话题的！ 我要求你，在班里讲到任何话题时你都能插嘴讲“我怎么想，我反对/赞成”，而不是只讲你自己写了稿的话题。 
* 所以，就要一，记住问问题人问题有哪些； 二，仔细听班里在讨论什么话题。
4）还有一些组没完成“虚拟公司”。几个组友聚一起午餐来准备好这个“短剧/脱口”秀吧！
（班长请把以上内容email给四个“联络专员”及你的“邻居”。联络专员请叫所有邻居用笔抄下以下要求带到课堂。）

Participate in the last week's activities, for the honor of the entire class!
最后两周，积极参与课堂活动： 为了全班的荣誉！
This week is Workshop 12 (Week13). 
Based on the tasks most of you have already done, and the diaries you shared, I can pretty much generate your * Mid-Term Scores, * Participation score rankings (just rankings), * Medals the class has got as a whole, AND * the King, Emperors, the Foot Soldier, and the Civilian. 
今周是“第十二课”（也叫第十三周）
基于你们已经取得的课堂表演分及分享日记铁元分，我已经基本上可以得出你们的 *期中成绩 *参与分排名（排名而已） *全班所得的集体奖章数 以及 *国王，皇帝，兵，平民
The King is the standard by which I decide upon the maximum Participation Score in the class. 
国王是我决定班里最高参与分的标准。
However Emperors are better: They not only have maximum Participation Scores, but can also automatically see their Final Exam Scores enhanced, once this score reaches 90. 
但是皇帝比国王还要好：他们不仅得到最高参与分，而且只要他们期末考试分到达九十，他们的期末分就可以自动添加五到十分。还有其他优惠。
Foot Soldier is the standard by which I decide upon who gets a C grade. Usually, the Civilian is the one person who ranks below the Foot Soldier. 
兵是我决定从哪里开始以下的同学要得学期总评为 C 级的标准。 平民是兵以下的那个人（或那些人）。
However: 
Now I want you to really participate WELL in the last two weeks of this semester! 
但是： 我现在要你积极地参与最后两周的课，以改变上面的现状！
Because, how well you participate in the last two weeks, will * bump up the number of medals your class gets, AND * even create new "Emperors"! 
因为： 你下两周参与的积极程度，会 * 增加全班获得的奖章数目 并且 * 增添新的“皇帝”！
Medals are points I add onto the level by which a Foot Soldier in a class gets. If I raise this level only by one point, even the Foot Soldier doesn't have to get C, but gets B instead. And all students' Semester Total Score raises accordingly. If I raise this level enough, even the Civilian will get B instead of C, and all students in the class will see their Total Scores increased significantly compared to other classes.
奖章数目决定我可以在 兵 的学期总分线上，加多少分。如果这个线加了一分，那个兵就不用得C，而改得B. 全班同学的总分相应按比例提高。 如果我在这个兵的总分线上加足够分，甚至可能平民都不用得C，而改得B，而全班同学分数较别的班，就显著提高。
How to add one or two medals to your class? You will have to participate well as a whole class. Monitors, Communication Assistants: Please motivate all classmates to participate well!
怎样才能加多一两个奖章？ 那你们就要全班整体都积极参与了。只是一个人积极，是改变不了整体面貌的。 班长，联络专员： 请动员全班都积极参与！
If your individual participation is good enough, you might become a new Emperor, joining others who are already Emperors in the class. That means, this will significantly increase your Final Exam Scores automatically.
如果你只是个人积极参与，也好，你可能会加入原有的皇帝们，成为新的皇帝成员。 这对于自动增加你的期末分数，是很有好处的！ 
Classes that have students absent in the last two weeks, or students who do not make up for their missing Mid-Term Score diaries, or students who do not prepared for the activities FF, CC, DD, GG, may not get any Medals. 
如果你们班最后两周有学生缺席，迟到，或有学生不补足他们缺了的期中成绩日记，或者有学生不好好准备最后两周要做的 FF, CC, DD, GG 课堂活动的话，那就可能得不到新的全班奖章了。

Broadcasting
新闻联播节目
* You group will come to the stage and broadcast stories in CCTV Xinwen Lianbo (or a CNN, NBC morning newsroom show) style 
你们组会被叫到上台表演新闻联播，或者说更像NBC的早晨新闻多人脱口秀。
* For a group of 4-5, gather about 4-5 news stories in the form of headlines. Perhaps each group member can look one up from a cellphone news app, or gather from list of headlines posted on the front wall.
组里如有四五人，就搜集四五个新闻故事。可以每个人都从手机上找一则最新消息，或从课室墙上新闻头条列表里随便找一条，带回组里。
* News headlines in their original words are difficult to understand. I will not credit a student for reading a headline for more than a dot (meaning a sentence), even though this headline has many sentences. 
新闻头条，如果按它们原来的字眼，很难懂的。即使一个新闻故事有多句，如果你看着纸面去读，我也最多给你一句的分数。
* Instead, each member should, in a brainstorm-sharing session, tell all group mates the meaning of this news story. Each group mate should, in the same session, tell all other group mates what he/she thinks of this news story. Disagreement among group mates is even more appreciated. 
还不如这样： 在“头脑风暴-分享”的时候，每个组友，都向所有组友讲解一则新闻故事的意思，让每个人懂。（或者说每个组友，都向其他组友问有没有新闻故事好讲解，知道全组都把四五则故事全懂了为止） 听完每则故事的意思后，每个组友都告诉全组：我怎么看这则新闻。如果有组友之间的分歧辩论，那更欢迎。
* All 4-5 news stories gathered by 4-5 group members should be shared, and discussed among all group mates this way.
所有四到五则新闻都要通过这种“头脑风暴-分享”方式，使全组人都熟知其内容。
* After 10 minutes of brainstorm-sharing session, a group will be called on to begin a “news show”. Ideally this group should have a “channel name” such as CCTV, NBC, CNN, BBC, TVB. 
十分钟头脑风暴-分享后，你们组就会被叫到开始一个新闻秀，CCTV, NBC 风格。
* Each short headline is not only to be read by one group member, but also discussed by all group members, at least one sentence from each member. 
不仅要简单地读每则新闻故事，而且每个组友要说一句以上评论。
* Teacher uses cellphone as “remote control”, flipping among the 4-5 groups in the class, as if they are different news channels.
老师用手机作为“电视遥控器”，随时换频道。不同组都要因此做好准备开始讲新闻秀。
Note: You may “cheat” before coming to class. You may read the news site http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Current_events (In the class, the Wikipedia News was simply posted on the blackboard for you to take turns to rush back and forth in order to report to groupmates), but before class, you can read Wikipedia News, remember important news that happened recently, and also read several best news sites such as: * BBC News * The Economist * Huffington Post * Drudge Report * News Prism
---
I'd really love it for your group's News Show to be a funny one. Please take a look at some of America's comedy news shows such as David Letterman and Saturday Night Live: http://url.cn/SvpaGW saturday night live 网 . http://url.cn/Ln7Z6l mad tv 网 .http://url.cn/NqA0qC stephen colbert 网 . http://url.cn/LRwHX5 jon stewart 网 . http://url.cn/PyE5sS jay leno 网 . http://url.cn/VoVB6j david letterman 网
我更希望你们可以创新一点，比如说可以搞搞笑的新闻脱口秀。哪些搞笑新闻脱口秀可以参考呢？可以参考一下美国David Letterman, Jon Stewart, Jay Leno, Stephen Colbert, Saturday Night Live, Mad TV. 很给力的美式搞笑英语。看看上面这些他们的视频！
INTERNATIONAL NEWS EXAM TOPIC
新闻秀也可以作为考试可选的一个题目。
Find in College Library or Bookshop, several English magazine/newspapers.
Find on line, Wikipedia Current News.
Find at least THREE short news stories. Find ONE long news story. That means, FOUR news stories in total.
I want these different news stories to belong to different categories like "World Affairs", "Entertainment and Sports", “Technologies and Business”, "In-Depth Special Report".
Examples of In-Depth Special News Topics:
* What kind of challenges is "Brand China" (Chinese brands, Chinese companies and products) facing in today's international market? What examples can you think of? What is Chinese brands' future? 
* Do Chinese brands/companies need "productivity" more than "creativity" or something else? What does this question have to do with BRICS or Newly Industrialized Countries' modernization/development and "Dependency Theory" (read wikipedia)? How will you deal with this problem?
* Will China become the first superpower that rises peacefully? You can talk about this In-Depth Special News Topic using subtopics like "Brand China", "Asia-Pacific Peace", "People's Buying Power", "Global Economic Recession and Financial Crisis", etc.
* The Syrian Civil War, and Arab Spring.
* One of the "Hot Social Topics" in Chinese society.
* Your own chosen In-Depth Special News topic
