 7. Hearing and Writing 听和写

            A: Tell me about your English class, Mary.
            B: Well, yesterday the teacher wro-te some sentences on the board.
            The first was "if you can't produce the sounds of a langua-ge
            acceptable, then you can't really hear them when other people make
            them". Next he worte, "if you can't hear the sounds of a language
            then you probably can't write the language well. Your inadequate
            pronunciation contributes to making your writing substandard."
            A: Do you think that's right?
            B: I don't know, Bob. I'll tell you when the course is over.

            Notes
            Substandasd--unacceptable, inferior

            A：玛丽，给我说说你们英语课。
            B：好吧，昨天老师在黑板上写了一些句子。第一句话是"对于一种语言如果你不能正确地发音,那么当别人发这些音时你实际上不可能听懂。"然后他又写道“如果你听不懂一种语言的发音，你大概也不可能很好地书写这种语言。你的不合格的发音将导致你的书写也不能令人满意。”
            A：你认为这对吗？
            B：我不知道，鲍勃。等这门课结束时我会告诉你的。
            译文：
            A：今天我上了第一堂英语课。
            B：课上得怎样？
            A：很在意思。老师告诉我们有三种方法可帮助我们学习语言。首先,除英语外不要用其他语言谈话。其次.背下大量完整的句子。最后请美国朋友告诉我们，我们在口语中感到困难的那些句子，他们是怎样表达的,并且要一直模仿他们。
