Few people realize that there is a big difference between formal English and informal English. Formal English is used for most writing, and often in public speaking and formal meetings. It pays close attention to grammar rules, because if we use proper grammar, our meaning is often more precise. Also, on important occasions, we do not want to appear uneducated or to offend (冒犯) others, so we are very careful about how we speak. Informal English is used in speaking or writing to our friends and family. It often does not pay such close attention to grammar rules, because when we speak or write to them, we want our words to flow quickly. Also, with our friends and family, we are usually not so worried about appearing uneducated or about offending them by how we write or speak.
A big difference between formal and informal English is the use of contractions. A contraction is where we make a word shorter or where we put two words together and take away some of the letters. For example, instead of saying “do not”, many people say “don’t”. Using contractions in our speech is fine because it sounds natural, especially when we speak to our friends. In formal writing, however, contractions are usually avoided because people might think that you have made a mistake, or that you do not know proper grammar.
In the same way we might make words shorter, in informal English we often make sentences shorter as well. For example, if someone asks you your name, you will likely answer with one word: your first name. However, in formal English we usually use complete sentences. For example, we might write “My name is John”. In most speaking, we may not need to use every word in a sentence because the person we are speaking to will probably still understand us. In most writing, however, every word in a sentence must be written out in order to make sure that we can be understood.

A.we will offend others |

While reading a book in English, every few lines, you run across a word or two that you don't know. You look up every new word in the dictionary. Bad move. All that does is slow you down. Even electric or CD-ROM dictionaries can get in the way of your reading progress. A dictionary is like a road map. It can help you if you get lost and point you in the right direction. But if you stop to look at the "map" each time you take a step, you'll get nowhere fast.
On your English learning "journey", a dictionary can be a helpful "travel companion"—if it's not overused. To help you start thinking in English, use an English-to-English dictionary. Otherwise, you'll always depend on your native language and end up translating in your head.
A good dictionary can help you do more than just find the meaning of a word. It can help you verify (test and check) spelling, check word forms and grammar usage, find example sentences and learn pronunciation. Some dictionaries even provide exercises to teach you how to use their resources.
Take time to get to know your dictionary. Learn the pronunciation symbols. Understand what the abbreviations(縮寫(xiě)字) mean. Become familiar with the grammar codes that explain the usage for each word. Look for charts, diagrams and lists that might be useful in the future. You'll discover how rewarding it can be to make friends with your dictionary. And as they say, "A friend in need is a friend indeed".
【小題1】 The underlined word "that" used in the last paragraph refers to ________.
A.chart, diagrams and lists |
B.a(chǎn)bbreviations and the usage for each word |
C.the meaning of a word, spelling and grammar usage |
D.pronunciation symbols and grammar codes |
A.Because it is a good friend if we use it often. | |
B.Because it can help us to find the right direction if we get lost. | |
C.Because it can help us to start thinking both in English and in Chinese. | D.Without it we'll depend on our native language and end up translating in our head. |
A.The more you use a dictionary, the better you can understand the article you read. |
B.The more you use the resources in the dictionary, the more you can benefit from it. |
C.The more you use a dictionary, the faster you may read. |
D.The better a dictionary is, the more expensive it is. |
A.Dictionary is Like a Road Map While We Are Traveling |
B.Use a Dictionary When Necessary |
C.How Important a Good English-to-English Dictionary is |
D.A Dictionary is a Friend Indeed |

What’s the difference between the British Isles, Britain, the United Kingdom and England?
The British Isles is made up of two large islands: One is called Ireland and the other Britain. Britain, or Great Britain, is the larger of these two islands and it is divided into three parts: Scotland, Wales and England.
The United Kingdom (UK) is short for the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. It is made up of Scotland, Wales, and England (i.e. the whole of Britain), and also about one-sixth of Ireland, the Northern part. The rest of Ireland is self-governing(自治的).
England is the largest, most populous (人口眾多的), and generally speaking, the richest section. English people often use the words “England” and “English” when they mean “Britain” and “British”. This sometimes makes the Scots and the Welsh angry. The Scots are very proud of their separate nationality. The Welsh too do not consider themselves as England, and have a culture and even a language of their own. Ireland became part of the United Kingdom in 1801, but is soon grew discontented (不滿(mǎn)的), and for forty years the “Irish Question” was the greatest headache of British Parliament(國(guó)會(huì)). At last, Ireland divided itself into two: Northern Ireland remained loyal(忠誠(chéng)于) to the Crown(英國(guó)王室), and in 1922 the rest of the country broke away to form Irish Free State, now the Republic of Ireland.
1.Which is the largest in area?
A. The British Iles B. Great Britain
C. England D. The United Kingdom
2. Which is the largest island of the British Isles?.
A. Ireland B. Britain
C. England D. Northern Ireland
3.The United Kingdom is mainly made up of .
A.3 parts: Scotland, Wales, and England
B.4 parts: Scotland, Wales, England and Ireland
C.2 parts: the whole of Britain and Ireland
D.2 parts: the whole of Britain and Northern Ireland
4. Strictly speaking(嚴(yán)格地說(shuō)), which is wrong?
A.“English” refers(指) to people of England.
B.“The Scots” refers to people of Scotland.
C.“England” refers to all the people to the UK.
D.Only one-sixth of Ireland belongs to the UK.
5.Who will be happy if we use “England” when we mean Britain?
A. The British B. People of England
C. People of the Republic of Ireland D. The welsh
