A Report On Intro to American University
A lecture was given by a foreign teacher on November 11th.
The lecture was about Intro to American universities,including applying for American universities and some other vital information.
she talked about Harvard University,Yale University ,Princeton University,Ohio State University,Pennsylvania State University,and University of California Los Angeles. She gave us statistics about the numbers of students in those universities ,Faculty members,Tuition fees,books in libraries ,financial aids.
In the mean time we shared charming pictures of these universities.
when it is comes to how to apply these universities,she gave us many directions and tips .such as Personal Statement,background,including
Show what you know -- understanding of the subject
Explain how you got that understanding
What special projects or research have you done?
academic interests,future goals ,including
What are you going to do after graduate school?
What job are you hoping to get? How far do you plan on going in your field?
Letters of Recommendation,Letters of Recommendation DON’TS,applying for Financial Aid,things to remember,and so on!
From this lecture i got a lot .and i think it is essential to remember the important things when going abroad .
Thing to remember:
Read all the requirements for application and understand them.
Be aware of deadlines, costs, and minimum tests scores.
Communicate with the school if you have trouble.
Each program/school will have different requirements. Don’t get confused. Schools want Chinese students to attend so relax and don’t worry too much!
I was very interested in this lecture.because,the teacher is very lovely and the topic very interesting. And i loved it. These universities she talked about are all famous around the world and many student's dream either. As a student ,they are my dream too!and in my opinion many of the chinese students love being these universities ,to read famous books,to make friends with foreign students,to learn advanced techniques.and to get a good degree for future work.
Personally,i support applying for these universities if it is possible.to see overseas,to know different customs and cultures,to know different people.so it worth the risk to apply for these universities .
第二篇：hold住英语讲座报告
Hold住英语报告
众所周知，英语已经成为当代学生的必修课，英语在国际上作为通用语的功能决定了我们要走出去就要学好英语，这无疑大大加剧了我们非英语国家学生的学习压力和负担，此外，英语学习的难度对我们这些英语使用率较低的地区来说大大提升。怎么办呢？
许许多多的学生为学英语感到困扰，有些人日记夜记可是成绩就是不上去，有些人成绩ok然而真正到用时期期艾艾不知所措，把所有所学的都抛到脑后去了，更有甚者在频繁的压力下选择放弃。对于以上种种，我们能说他们不努力么，实在是难，问题在于他们不会学，不知道方法学。怎么办呢？
对绝大多数人来说，记忆力都是有限的，如果靠死记硬背去学英语很可能会造成早上学晚上忘的现象，而且，就算你能记住又能如何？作为一种语言，多变性与灵活性是它最大的特点，就算记住那些固定的句子你能在交流时活灵活用么？扪心自问，你的答案是yes么？那该怎么办呢？
作为英语学习者，我也存在许多困惑，我也犯了同样的错。但是，我听了“hold住英语”讲座后有一种耳目一新的感觉，也许我有走神，但是其中有一点确实让我激动了好久，也许我找到事半功倍的方法了，于是我找了一下这方面的资料，对此作出一些总结，希望能给更多人以帮助。
作为学生，如果老师在课上把那些重点讲的活灵活现，富有幽默感，我想这堂课你一定会被吸引，一定有许多学生会情不自禁地被带动到课堂中去。同样，如果英语这门语言在学习时，被教学者赋予生命力，让它活起来具有吸引人的一面，那么可想而知它的诱惑力又该有多大呢？那么什么能让英语活起来？什么可以作为它的生命呢？
很多人都听过外教讲课，听过的人不难发现他们的课学生积极性更高，为什么呢？难到就因为他们是外国人，比较新鲜？不可否认，有一些影响。但是我想绝大多数原因是他们的教学质量和课堂气氛吧，他们的课没有传统教学里那么多任务，有的是幽默与笑声，这无疑是最轻松的课堂。想想，当一个人是被迫集中注意力去完成自己不喜欢的任务时，他的效果如何？而当一个人是敞开心扉，以一种乐观积极的态度接触自己的兴趣的时候，他的效率又如何呢？
学英语，不仅要对学的人说，更要对教的人说，盲目的教学会让多少课堂死气沉沉，过分的任务会让多少人垂头丧气。
地球人已经无法阻止中国人学英语了，那中国人呢？
