| Q: I'd like to know about fluency. What can I do to feel better when I'm talking to other people? Do you have some ways to learn it faster? Please help me! -Roberto in Brazil A: Roberto wants to know how to become more fluent in English, and this is something you want to be able to do "fast". First, if you get to meet English speakers much, the important rule is to listen not just to native speakers of English, but also to very good users of English. If you don't, then listen to the radio, TV or films in English. The next step is to notice what it is that speakers of English do, which makes them sound fluent. The first trick (诀窍) is to probably have confidence. Some people think they might make mistakes. Don't worry about that. Your listeners will usually try hard to understand you-a few grammar mistakes aren't going to worry them. What you do need to worry about is pronunciation, especially stress (重音). When you learn a new word or expression, learn it with its stress. Notice how a native speaker says it or look it up in a dictionary. Another good thing that speakers of English do is to have a few tricks up their sleeves (袖子) for when they need to give themselves thinking time. Sometimes they use "filler sounds" like er,um and so on. It is also useful to know how to bring other speakers into your conversation so that you keep them intereste d-and this is often done by asking questions like "What do you think?" "How do you feel about this?" and so on. So, to become a fluent speaker, you'll need to put into practice all these kinds of things. And there's the key: practise, practise, practise. -Susan Fern |

| School failure appears to trouble teenage girls more deeply than boys, US researchers said on Tuesday. They said adolescent (青春期的) girls who are dismissed or drop out of high school before they graduate are more likely to have a serious depression by age 21 than boy with similar experiences. "For girls it is more serious to be school failure," said Carolyn McCarty, a University of Washington researcher whose study appears in the Journal of Adolescent Health. "We already know that it leads to more poverty, higher rates of being on public assistance and lower rates of job stability. And now this study shows it is having mental health implications for girls," McCarty said in a statement. The study was drawn from data on more than 800 people in Seattle, Washington,and included people from 18 school in high-crime neighborhoods. The group was separated evenly by gender (性别) and nearly half were white, 24 percent were black, 21 percent were Asian-American and the rest were from other groups. Overall, 45 percent of the girls and 68 percent of the boys in the study experienced a major school failure, but 22 percent of the girls later became depressed compared with 17 percent for the boys. "This gender shows that while school failure is more typical for girls, it appears to have more severe consequences when it does occur," McCarty said. |
