今天下午听了Odie117自行制作的TOEFL PP听力录音Test1-短篇



然后把文字确实写出来



请也在准备T的大家 帮帮我看看是否有错误啰






晚上都在看HBO 不乖 要被打




Hey, Mary, one of my students has decided to stop taking piano lessons from me. I could give you her slot on Tuesdays from 8 to 9 if you want it.



Gee, maybe I’ve giving you the wrong impression. I am not that serious about playing.



What does the woman mean?






I met someone named Joe Parker at the registration last night. Are you related?



I have got a cousin by that name, but he goes to a different college.






I have 2 classes this afternoon and then I have to work tonight. And I feel miserable. Do you have any cold medicine?



Sure, I have got a bottle you could have. But it gets over your cold a lot faster if you just took easy for a few days.






I don’t know how I am going to get all of these done tonight. I have got 2 chapters of history to read and 30 Calculus problems to finish for tomorrow. And boy, do I have trouble with Calculus!






Well, you know it’s usually best to get the hardest work done first.






I’m signing up for that training course next Saturday on how to prepare for a job-interview. How about you?



If it were only an hour or so, I would go. But I just can’t spare a whole afternoon this weekend. I think it’s offered again next month though.






Amy is going to tutor Scot again tonight.



But she has got 3 papers due this week. Shouldn’t she be working on them?






Excuse me. I don’t know my way around campus yet. Where is the Science building located?



I’d like to help you, but I’m new here myself.






Can I borrow that book when you finish with it?



You’ll have to talk to Laura. I promise to her next.






The chorus needs someone to accompany them on piano. You play, don’t you?



Well, lately I’ve just been working on guitar. So I’m a little rusty.






That was some storm we had last night. Did your power go out?



It sure did. And then my alarm didn’t go off this morning. So I miss my first class.



------------------------------------



Richard has been so happy since he heard from the graduate school.



Yes, he has been flowing on air ever since he got his acceptance letter.






Did you notice that the student concert is next week?



Noticed?! I’m the one from the Coro club who will be taking tickets.






I just want to let you know that your paper on 18th century France showed a particularly good understanding of the subject matter.



Actually I didn’t have much time to do the research. So I was worried that you were calling me in to criticize it.






Could I borrow your notes from this morning’s Biology lecture? I am so mad at myself that I stayed up late studying and over-slept.



Well, if it makes you feel any better, you were far from the only one who didn’t make it this morning.






Did you hear that the real professional theatre company scheduled a performance right here on campus?



You bet. I did. I haven’t been this exciting about a campus performance since the musical 2 years ago.






I tried for a half an hour to print my paper on that laser printer downstairs, but it kept jamming. Do you have any suggestion?



That’s certainly news to me. It has been completely reliable for me






I just found out that I can’t attend the student conference on October. But I already send the registration fee.



Relax! They will resend you all but 10% if you let them know right away.






Oh, Richard, I didn’t expect to see you today. I thought you work at the book store on Thursday afternoon.



I do, but I am switching day with someone else so that I can finish my lab report. I will be there on Saturday instead.






I never thought Nancy Smith would be interested in joining the debating team.



That just goes to show how well you really know her.






Thanks for lending me your Chemistry study guide. I promise I will return it at dinner.



Forget it and I will be knocking at your door late tonight.



--------------------------------------



I will be back in an hour or so. I’ve got to meet the housing director on campus.



You might want to wait until this afternoon. It’s pretty heck over there this time in the morning.






At this rate, I don’t think I am ever going to get better in writing. My composition mark has been the same all semester. Straight Cs.



What did your instructor say it’s keeping your marks down?






I have to figure out the car rental share for our trip to the lake. Should I count you in?



I am happy to report I am available. I finally caught up with my reading






Do you think you will be available to go to the basketball game on Sunday?



Actually I am waiting to hear from my brother. He might be coming to visit this weekend.



When will you know for sure?



Check with me tomorrow afternoon.






I can’t find this book on the shelf. Can you check the computer and see if it’s checked out? I need it right away.



It’s checked out, but there is another copy at the other library. I can get it for you in about 2 days or you can drive over and get it yourself.






Are you coming along or what? We’ll be late to class.



Save me a seat. I can’t show up without my assignment.






Can I look at your notes from yesterday’s class? I can’t read some of what I wrote here.



Sure, help yourself. But I should warn you I spent most of the time daydreaming.






I don’t understand why engineering students are required to take introductory Sociology.



Well, I suppose it will come in handy once you start working.






I finally finish the Chemistry lab. Did you have a chance to work on yours yet?



The problem is the results weren’t what I was hoping for. If I have time, I am going to do it over again.






Have you been studying for the history test on Friday?



Yeh, but I can’t believe it covers the whole semester’s material. I will never be ready.



Well, it does help to keep up with the reading assignments during the semester.










I saw your note on the bulletin board. I thought you already had a roommate.



Ya, but he is graduating in June. So I thought I’d better start looking for someone now.



Well, the location couldn’t be better and the rent is not that bad.






Oh, I am glad I found you. I left my notebook in the lab and it’s locked.



We locked up all the rooms at 8 o’clock.



But I need my notes. I have an exam tomorrow.



I can’t let anyone in. Wait here and I will take a look myself.






Do you know how I do get to the research lab from here?



Walking from here is out of the question. And the last bus out that was gone already. Do you have a car?






I am really not making any progress on this lab report. The data I have collected so far just don’t seem to make much sense.



If you’d like, I can review what you have and then we can go over it together.



I appreciate the effort, but I think I just need to keep chipping away at it on my own before I ask anyone else to take a look.






Can you believe the costs of textbooks? I just paid 55 dollars for my Chemistry book.



That’s nothing. Think twice before you decide to take an Art history class.






It’s really hard to concentrate with that humming voice in the background. Do you know where it’s coming from?



Ya, it’s the printer. But don’t worry. It only does that when it’s warming up.






I am really sorry I am late. First I had trouble finding your house and then my car…



It doesn’t matter.. Just glad you made it. Come in and make yourself at home.






Hey Jay, where have you been lately?



I’ve been spending most of my afternoon in the psychology lab. I had no idea what I was getting into when I signed up for this course.



Ya, I took the class last year and practically had to move into the lab.






I heard a rumor that we are going to have a quiz in the class tomorrow.



That’s definitely news to me.






Sally says that she dropped her article off at the student newspaper office yesterday.



I couldn’t find it. Neither could anyone else.




Well, I was with her when she gave it to the secretary. So you need to look again.









Hey Julie, I want to ask you if the washing machines in your dormitory are working, because ours has been broken for a week. It’s getting kind of desperate.



As far as I know, they are. But why don’t you take your laundry over to the gym until they fix the problem.






You know the smell of the chemical preservative from our Biology lab gives me a headache. Doesn’t it bother you, too?



Not anymore. I’d come to realize that there are certain things that Biology majors have to put up with.






Are you disappointed that Bill won the election? I mean, you would have been a great president for the debate team.



You know, with all of my course work, I feel that a 2-tons truck has been lifted up with my shoulders.






I heard the modern art exhibition at the university museum is great.



I’ve been trying to get there but I am so busy with papers for my classes.



Well, it won’t be here much longer. You really ought to make time for it.






I’ve been looking all over for Peter. I’ve got a book of his that he left behind at the cafeteria. He might need it for his test tomorrow.



I met him a few minutes ago and he said that he was heading for the study hall at the student center.






I shouldn’t have taken so many courses. It’s really hard to keep up with all my class work.



Well, you are taking an extra course. You should remember that when you sign up the classes next term.






I just need one more class to complete my schedule. I can’t decide between Calculus and music appreciation.



Well, I am no counselor, but you do want to be an engineer. And I don’t think a music course is going to help you out very much.






I’m so busy with those works in classes that I never seem to get around to cleaning my house.



It wouldn’t hurt to call an agency to see if you can afford to get some help.






Professor, I am really sorry, but my paper is just not going to finish by this afternoon. Is there any way that you can give me an extension?



If I give one to you, I’ll have to give one for everyone.






Kate has been working night and day to finish her documentary for film class.




She could have been done by now, but she insists on being so independent.









So the xxx club is planning another fundraiser. Will you be in charge again this year?



Unless I can get out of it.






I can’t believe I miss the dead line for the discount basketball tickets.



Oh, don’t worry. That was for the general public. University students have until the end of the month.






All the photos I took on my trip with my new camera are ruined. For some season, the film didn’t advance through the camera.



Well, did you read the instruction carefully before using it?






53 conversations in total.






这个蛮厉害的,mm再接再厉。。


加油!

大家教教我怎么upload档案吧 像上面就有些浪费空间



如果学会像大家一样用Zip file上传 版面会清爽点儿



拜托教我喔
















我觉得你这样也挺好的,上传了文件还得下载打开,也不方便。


不过如果你要上传,只要在把word文档压缩成压缩文件就可以上传了。

谢谢enjoy版主 你说的也有道理 有时候要下载也挺麻烦的

虽然file不是顶大 还是得看看网络的速度

那我就维持原来的样子吧

更新了一下 附上题号

这样大家好找一些 有错误的话 大家也好讨论

昨晚上回老家 所以计算机里边没有任何档案

得等晚上回宿舍才能继续进度了

~有大家的鼓励 我多一点信心了~

以下是引用yangsky66在2004-10-31 4:27:00的发言:

词汇:    俞敏洪托福词汇串讲(附串讲词汇表)MP3版



         TOEFL词汇百分百软件



听力:    新东方TOEFL听力突破



         Odie117自行制作的TOEFL PP听力录音



文法:    高天华-文法必修(2年前上课的资料)



         新东方TOEFL高分语法



阅读:    徐文意-阅读单元班(1年前上课的资料)



         新东方TOEFL阅读提高



写作:    练习中。



         加拿大念教育系的朋友出题且修改。下周开始来练练TWE的题目吧



1老玉的MP3就不要听了,因为废话太多,词汇百分百就可以。如果你词汇基础不好,可以看看张红岩的书。


原本想用俞老师的词汇是因为可以放入mp3 player坐车时可以听听背背


不过后来想想有听力的部分需要准备


(像前面的短篇听力 有一大半都是在火车上完成的 幸好人不多 有座位作才方便写下来)


俞老师的词汇就当备案吧


2pp伴侣应该作,不对答案不看文字。pp录音来练精听,even听写,和横听。


对不起问一个笨问题 PP伴侣就是模考的那一份吧?


我想把它当成模考来练习之后再进一步深入研读 大概下礼拜11.7早上就可以小试一下了 谢谢提醒



3语法,因为你上过语法课,可能你觉得那很有用。除此外,你需要太傻和pp语法笔记就可以了。


高分文法可以参考书,其实语法就是王海波的语法(有点花时间,可选)-作题-分析-采错题-重作-总结自己常犯的错误就可以




语法阅读都是我的弱项吧 G的时候Verbal分数就低 除了上课 不断作题


太傻和pp语法笔记 肯定也要研读 谢谢提醒有王海波语法


我找到了 明天下载吧 今天上限的人挺多了 流量也大 速度就慢了



4阅读 pp-2000后的新体,一定要读懂,你可以参考我的一个帖子,分析一个托友的2004。1的问题。


很多时候很多人认为读懂了,但没有真正的读懂。



努力寻找中


如果方便的话 可以给我连结吗?


thank you

PP是指托福机考官方模考软件。PPreview(PP伴侣)是解密后得练习软件,里面有10套题目。

mm让我很佩服呀,我当初考托的时候能有你这个毅力就好了。另外看了你听写的PPTEST1短对话,

我感觉你的听力能力还是很好的,只是你以前可能没有发现。其实很多事情没有想的那么难,只要大家自信和认真。另外,阅读不是很好的话,我说的张红岩的单词是要你听的MP3,没有废话,你可以试一下。你可能需要一个英文电子词典更好。

真的向你学习!

轻松一下,为什么zhoushao斑竹的笑那么好看呢?

我觉得我应该要这样报告进度的:








11/1     听力:完成长对话1-6     (果然出现很多陌生字汇)



           阅读:老师指定的Toefl模题一套  补充教材四套



           词汇:Toefl词汇百分百的unit 2(花了16分钟 对48 错2) 新生单字也有30个



           文法:完成高天华K-N02



           TWE:没成果…






昨天是第一堂阅读课。阅读先生除了自己的教材还有一大本toefl真题,真厚重!我想先做完这本吧~











11/2     听力:完成长对话 6-12   (这回学聪明了,上网去找点背景资料,写起来快多了)



           阅读:Toefl模题5套



           词汇:Toefl词汇百分百的unit 3(花了17分钟 对46 错4) 新生单字也有25个



           文法:完成高天华K-N03



           TWE:没成果… (明天立志突破)






我感觉听力真的很舒服。其实key-in下来也不辛苦,而且会很认真的知道,哪些字眼其实你不懂得拼,或者拼错了,甚至根本没听过,得依发音翻字典才认识。也算是认识新单字。而且会变相学习部分的语法,像是动词的时态一致等等,有点像学写句子。






唉,我又累了。晚安罗!
