Spoken English Learning # 221: How should we improve our spoken English (By Mandy) A great thing about learning a language is that you don't have to sit down with a textbook for many hours and learning English doesn't mean doing grammar exercises all the time.

That's why we are doing this.Use English in real daily conversations.

“Listen!” Mr. Smith said seriously at the beginning of his first class. “I will put one lie into each of my classes. Your job is to try and catch me in the lie of the day."
That was really a clever way to fix our attention on the difficult subject---geography. Then in the following weeks, we didn't let off every single word of what he said in class and challenged his lectures. When his class ended and nobody saw through the lie,Mr. Smith would say, “Ah he! Each of you has a lie in your notes,Discuss among yourselves what it might be,and I will tell you at the end of this term," Mr. Smith's special style of teaching worked. All of us reviewed and discussed our notes actively.
One Monday at the end of the term, Mr. Smith listened carefully to what we questioned for almost ten minutes.Then he finally said,“Do you still remember the first lesson ”Confused(困惑的), we said yes."Well, that was a real big lie.In fact,all the lectures I've given before are completely true. But I am glad you worked so hard. Move on...”

Nowadays,we almost never write things by hand. However,a new brain research,led by researchers at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology,confirms(证实) the same: choosing handwriting instead of using a keyboard results in better learning and memory.
The study was carried out using equipment to record brain wave activity. The participants(参加者) included 12 young adults and 12 children. Each subject was asked to write by hand and type on a keyboard while wearing a“hat”with 250 electrodes(电极).The sensors(传感器)in the electrodes pick up the electrical activity that takes place in the brain.Each examination took 45 minutes per person.
The results showed the brain in both young adults and children is much more active when writing than when typing on a keyboard. Audrey holds that plenty of senses are activated (激活) by pressing the pen,seeing the letters written and hearing the sound made while writing. These senses open the brain up for learning.
Audrey believes the result stresses the importance of children being challenged to write at an early age, especially at school.“Learning to write by hand is a bit slower process,but it's important for kids to go through the tiring period of learning to write by hand," she said.
The hand movements which are used to write the letters have certain advantages."If you use a keyboard,you use the same movement for each letter. Writing by hand requires your fine motor (精细动作)skills and senses.It's important to put the brain in a learning state as often as possible." Audrey added,"For example, you might use a keyboard to write an article,but you should take notes by hand during a lecture.”
11. How did the researchers confirm the opinion
A.By telling stories. B.By doing experiments(实验).
C.By making surveys. D.By learning from experience.
12. What do we know about the study
A.The study invited 250 participants in total(总共).
B.Almost no children like writing by hand at an early age.
C.The brain in children is much more active than young adults when writing by hand.
D.The sensors in the electrodes were used to record the brain wave activity.
13. Why does the brain become more active when writing by hand than when typing on a keyboard according to Audrey
A.More senses are made active when writing by hand.
B. Writing by hand is easier on the brain.
C.People feel bored when typing on the keyboard.
D.Less noise will be created when writing by hand.
14. According to Audrey, how does handwriting influence (影响) people
A.It makes people study in a quiet way. B.It greatly increases people's interest in studies.
C.It helps people to develop fine motor skills. D.It allows people to write better articles.
15. What's the main purpose of the text
A.To show writing by hand is the best way to learn.
B.To report on a new research on handwriting.
C.To advise children to start to write as early as possible.
D.To explain how handwriting affects(影响) adults and children differently.
