One of the speaking rules you need to know might sound strange to most ESL (English as a second language) students,but it is one of the most important rules.If you want to pass examinations, then study grammar.However,if you want to

become fluent in English,then you should try to learn English without studying the grammar.
Studying grammar will only slow you down and confuse you.You will think about the rules when creating sentences instead of naturally saying a sentence like a native.Remember that only a small part of English speakers know more than 20% of all the grammar rules.Many ESL students know more grammar than native speakers.I can confidently say this with experience.I am a native English speaker,majored in English Literature,and have been teaching English for more than 10 years.However,many of my students know more details about English grammar than I do.When they sometimes ask me about grammar,I can easily look up the definition(定义) and apply it,but I can't tell them the answer off the top of my head.
I often ask my native English friends some grammar questions,and only a few of them know the correct answer.However,they are fluent in English and can read,speak,listen,and communicate effectively.
Do you want to be able to recite the definition of a causative verb,or do you want to be able to speak English fluently?

About 30 years ago, I left Cuba for the United States with my son.After getting settled finally in Brunswick, New Jersey, I enrolled (注册) my son in kindergarten.Several weeks later, my son's teacher asked me to meet him at his office.
In the teacher's office, an exchange of greetings was followed by his questions: “Is your son mentally retarded (弱智的)? Does he suffer from any kind of mental disability?”
Was he talking about my wonderful Scola? No, no, it can't be.What a helpless, lonely moment! I told him that Scola was a quiet, sweet little boy, instead.I asked him why he was asking me all these questions.
My son could not follow the teacher's directions, he told me, and thus, Scola was disrupting the class.Didn't he know my son did not speak English yet?
He was angry: “Why hasn't your son been taught to speak English? Don't you speak English at home?”
“No, I didn't speak English at home”, I replied.I was sure my son would learn English in a couple of months, and I didn't want him to forget his native language.Well, wrong answer! What kind of person would not speak in English to her son at home and at all times? “Are you one of those people who come to this country to save dollars and send them back to their country, never wanting to be a part of this society?”
Needless to say, I tried to tell him I was not one of “those people”.Then he told me the meeting was over, and I left.
As I had expected, my son learned to speak English fluently before the school

year was over.He went on to graduate from college and got a job, earning close to six figures.He travels widely and leads a welladjusted, contented life.And he has benefited from being bilingual (双语的).
Speaking more than one language allows people to communicate with others; it teaches people about other cultures and other places—something very basic and obviously lacking in the “educator” I met in New Jersey.
【解题导语】 作者和儿子搬到美国新泽西州,儿子上幼儿园时不会说英语,他的老师找作者谈话,认为作者应该和孩子在家就用英语交流,而作者不这么认为,她觉得学多种语言是为了与人交流,为了多了解别国的文化。

You might think that simple things like saying hello and goodbye are the same in every culture.Think again!
Shaking hands to say hello or goodbye was a Western custom (风俗) at first.__1__
Traditionally, the Chinese custom for greeting was to hold one's hands together and nod their head a little.
Japanese people greet each other by bowing (鞠躬).When greeting an older or more important person, it is usual to bow lower and for longer.__2__ But only men did it.
People in European countries such as Italy often greet each other with a kiss on both cheeks (脸颊).Even men greet each other like this.__3__
Eskimos, a group of people living in the very cold northern areas of North America, greet each other by lightly rubbing (摩擦) their noses together.__4__ Often, Eskimos only leave their eyes and noses uncovered.And the rest of their bodies are covered with warm clothing and their hands with gloves.
When you're not sure what the customs are in a new country, there's one greeting that is the same all over the world: a smile.__5__
A.Kissing is only for close family or women friends.
B.However, Eskimos never greet each other with a bow.
C.Everyone understands a smile so don't be afraid to use it!
D.In some cultures, it is usual to kiss on the cheek three times!
E.This custom probably started because of the freezing weather.
F.Bowing was also traditional in many European countries in the past.
G.But it is now becoming international, especially in business situations.
【解题导语】 本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了不同国家的人打招呼的不同方式。
1.解析:选G 根据该空前一句“Shaking hands to say hello or goodbye was a Western custom (风俗) at first.”可知,G项“但如今握手是一种国际化的打招呼方式,特别是在商业场合”符合语境。G项中的“becoming international”和上一句中的“a Western custom”形成对比。
2.解析:选F 该段主要介绍鞠躬这个礼仪,故F项介绍鞠躬在欧洲国家的使用情况符合语境。
3.解析:选D 根据该空前的“greet each other with a kiss on both cheeks”可知,D项关于亲吻脸颊的礼仪符合语境。D项中的“kiss on the cheek three times”与该段中的“with a kiss on both cheeks”相呼应。
4.解析:

选E 该空前介绍爱斯基摩人打招呼时是互相摩擦双方的鼻子,该空后介绍爱斯基摩人由于天气寒冷除眼睛和鼻子外全副武装。由此可知,空格处起承上启下的作用,E项“摩擦鼻子这个风俗源于严寒天气”符合语境。
5.解析:选C 根据该空前的“there's one greeting that is the same all over the world: a smile”可知,由于微笑在全世界通用,因此每个人都理解微笑的含义。C项中的“Everyone understands a smile”与该空前的“the same all over the world: a smile”相呼应。
