上学期 Unit 12 Mainly revision

es(时区), one hour apart. You can have days with more or fewer than twenty-four hours, and weeks with more or fewer than seven days.

　　If you make a five-day drip across the Atlantic Ocean(大西洋)，your ship enters a different time zone every day. As you enter each zone, the time changes one hour. Traveling west, you set your clock back; traveling east, you set it ahead. Each day of your trip has either twenty-five or twenty-three hours.

　　If you travel by ship across the Pacific(太平洋)， you cross the international date line(国际日期变更线). By agreement, this is the point where a new day begins. When you cross the line, you change your calendar one full day, backward or forward. Traveling east, today becomes yesterday; traveling west, it is tomorrow!

总结如何来做笔记

　　先在课堂上讨论如何做笔记和如何使用笔记。把主要的结论写在黑板上，让学生选出一条结论在课后进行扩写，一句话或两句话即可，可使用字典等工具书，内容要有生词、主从句、动词不定式、被动语态等语法项目。第二天或第在下节课上出示范句。

范句：

　　字迹清楚

　　Accurate, legible(字迹清楚的) notes are invaluable(非常宝贵的) aids to the student who is enrolled in a lecture course.

　　不但在听讲时,还在课前预习课文时

　　Notes should be taken during lectures, and when the student is reading the texts prior to each session of the course.

　　能听进很多内容，只记下教师所讲内容的要点

　　The key to good note-taking is to be able to listen a lot and to write only as much as is needed to record the essence(精华) of a point or idea presented by the lecturer.

　　辨别出主要论点和意见，并记下其概要

　　Students should endeavor(努力去) to identify only the main points and ideas being presented and to write them down in outline(概要) form.

　　力争把笔记第一次记好

　　Students should also strive(力争) to take good notes the first time and not plan to recopy notes - or to do so only when clarity and conciseness demand it

　　再把笔记复习

　　Students should review their notes for about five minutes on the same day that they take them, and go over them again for about half an hour at least once a week, according to a regular schedule or plan.

　　小结

　　There is no course syllabus(大纲) to be memorized; instead, the examination will be based on the material presented in the lectures and textbooks.

　　总结复习的重要性

　　组织学生们用英语来讲一讲复习的重要性。教师根据学生们提出的想法及时进行总结。

参考资料

　　Most forgetting takes place immediately after learning. An hour after studying or learning something new, more than 50% has been forgotten. After one month 80% has been forgotten and so on.

　　This shows that review is very important. If you review new material you have learnt, you remember much more. It's important to review newly learnt material a little and often. It's also necessary to have frequent breaks(间歇). We best remember what we learn at the beginning of a learning period and at the point where we stop. After the break, it's necessary to review what was learnt before the break - and then to continue learning the new material.

　　Other experiments have shown that the brain needs time to "digest" what has been learnt. The time necessary for this is 5 to 10 minutes. After a break of this time the memory will have absorbed what it has just learnt, and more will be remembered.
