亲爱的各位老师,朋友:
英语学习在我国日益受到重视和关注,然而老师们在教学中、学生们在学习中却依旧面临着缺乏英语学习环境,缺乏地道的学习材料等各种问题。事实上,网络带给我们的丰富环境中,资源并不缺乏,只是需要我们去收集、去整理、去共享,为己为人所共享。基于此,我们英语教学论坛想发起一系列活动,让大家共同来做些事,为我们的教学、学习生活创造更丰富的内容,带来更便利的资源!
希望有兴趣的老师同学共同参与进来!
下面是我们的系列活动1:
【活动名称】: 资源共创 发挥网络集体优势
——西方文化特色英语阅读篇章集锦
【活动目的】:阅读,一直以来都是英语教学中的重中之重。学生通过每日阅读篇章的练习,不仅仅是训练阅读技巧,改进阅读能力,提高阅读分数,更是一种输入英语语言文化,拓展词汇句型最为关键和可行的方式。因而,对于教师而言,为学生选择适合的典型的阅读篇章,能够帮助学生极大地提高阅读效率和英语学习效率。
但是,当前市面上各种琳琅满目的阅读材料,滥竽充数者有之,翻译中文者有之,面对这样的状况,一则学生不知道该选择什么样的材料,二则非地道的文章读来不但乏味,对学生学习地道的语言益处也不大。因而,如何获得地道的展示西方文化、英语语言知识、西方风土人情的阅读文章,我相信,一定让很多老师大为头疼。
因此,本活动希望集合网络中不同地区不同学校老师们的集体力量,编制一套地道地展示英语语言文化特点的中小学生阅读材料(适合初学者和中级学者阅读),共同收集具有西方文化特色、风土人情特色、英语语言知识特点以及展示时代发展的各类文章。
我们每个人贡献一篇文章,10个人就是10篇,20人就有20篇,30人就有30篇,40人就有40篇……
活动所收集的阅读材料将根据文章体裁、主题分类整理,并制定成册,以PDF版、Word版分享给大家,以供各位老师在日常教学中参阅或直接打印便可使用。
【活动时间】本活动集中时间为2月18日-4月20日,希望它可以不断延续下去……
【参与要求】任何人,只要有兴趣都可参与
文章形式:可以是结合阅读完型训练的,也可以是纯粹了解西方文化的小阅读、风趣故事
要求:给出文章难度等级、文章类型等信息,建议给出适合阅读的年级、文章字数信息
因为涉及到版权问题,最好能给出文章的出处。若为原创文章,请署名。

During a typical month I will stay in a hotel twelve nights a week.
The secretary at our office books all of my rooms so I don’t have to worry about that.
The meals I eat are all on the company.
Since I am tired after a long day of working I usually end up ordering room service.
I don’t stay at 5 star hotels, but the places I stay are not dumps either.
It would be bad for business if I had a client meet me at a seedy hotel in a bad section of town.
My typical day on a business trip starts with a wake up call at 6:00 AM.
I go down to the lobby and check out the continental breakfast.
If it is good I’ll eat there. I work all day and then I come back to the room.
Some nights I’ll have a drink from the wet bar, but usually I just eat and go to bed.
Some day I will get out of the traveling portion of my job, but for now I’m just glad I have a job.

Here is a passage about a person's experience staying in hotels:In my new job as a software sales rep for a major company I travel a lot. This means I have to be away from my family frequently. I don’t like that aspect of the position, but the pay is pretty good.During a typical month I will stay in a hotel twelve nights a week.
