很多457工作签证的考生由于英语基础比较薄弱,在备考雅思的过程中,还需要为雅思学习打下良好的基础。但是很多在墨尔本、悉尼的零基础英语的考生往往不知道选择什么样的教材来学习,墨尔本文波雅思学校根据多年的教学经验并结合学生的实际情况,推荐大家选择新概念二册。新概念教材不重传授抽象知识,而重培养实际运用英语的技能;分为许多分量适中的单元,循序小步前进,学习起来困难小,用力省,收效显;听、说、读、写四会并重,全面训练;兼顾趣味和实用,课文短小精悍,语言自然地道,内容生动有趣;练习精当,富于针对性。
Lesson 16 A polite request 彬彬有礼的要求
What was the polite request?
If you park your car in the wrong place, a traffic policeman will soon find it. You will be very lucky if he lets you go without a ticket. However, this does not always happen. Traffic police are sometimes very polite. During a holiday in Sweden, I found this note on my car: ‘sir, we welcome you to our city. This is a “No Parking” area. You will enjoy your stay here if you pay attention to our street signs. This note is only a reminder.’ If you receive a request like this, you cannot fail to obey it!
一旦你把汽车停错了地方,交通警很快就会发现。如果他没给你罚单就放你走了,算你走运。然而,情况并不都是这样,交通警有时也很客气。有一次在瑞典度假,我发现我的车上有这样一个字条:“先生,欢迎您光临我们的城市。此处是‘禁止停车’区。如果您对我们街上的标牌稍加注意,您在此会过得很愉快的。谨此提请注意。”如果你收到这样的恳求,你是不会不遵照执行的!
