第三篇：新概念英語

新概念英語是世界聞名的英語教程。本版是該書出版30年來經作者親自修訂的唯一新版。這套經典教材通過完整的英語學習體系，幫助學生掌握英語的4項基本技能——聽、說、讀、寫，使學生能在學習中最大限度地發揮自己的潛能。

【一冊初級】：“First Things First” 英語初階 從基本的發音、重音和語調開始，讓您逐步學會使用英語中的基本詞匯、語法及句型結構。學好第一冊，是練好英語基本功的關鍵，掌握了第一冊，才算真正踏進了英語之門。

【二冊基礎】：“Practice and Progress” 實踐與進步在第一冊全面技能訓練的基礎上，由淺入深，進一步在語法、口語、閱讀、寫作技能方面進行大信息量的全面培訓，通過對關鍵句型的分析、詞匯基本用法的講解、摘要寫作及作文練習中的串聯造句、書信格式與題材的逐步介紹，將使學習者真正能用聽、說、讀、寫來實踐英語。是想要重新系統學習英語的學員的最佳選擇！

【三冊中級】：“Developing Skills” 培養技能著重分析句子之間內在的邏輯關系，讓學員充分認識和領悟英文句型的精練、優美、實用和可模仿性，從而將其有機地運用到英文寫作之中；同時，將進一步擴充講解詞匯、語法及句型的實戰運用。新三的目標就是要讓學員教會用英語！

【四冊高級】：“Fluency in English” 流利英語全冊涵蓋了文學、經濟、體育、政治、等三十多個學科門類，語言修辭精美獨到，句型結構復雜多變，內容精練，同時，許多文章蘊涵著深厚的哲思、美學及西方文化中獨特的思維方式，從而使該教材成為每一位欲掌握英語語言精華的學習者不可多得、不可不學的讀物，理解了第四冊，便理解了英語文化，便學會了英語思維。

為了使更多的英語學習者能夠掌握《新概念英語》（新版）的精髓，我們按照教材同步制作《新概念英語》（新版）VCD。該VCD由北京外國語大學和北京大學具有豐富教學經驗的英語教授和講師，按照教材特點進行同步輔導與講解。

《新概念英語》（新版）針對中國學生學習英語過程中的重點、難點、疑點問題提供詳盡的指導，并對詞匯、語法、聽力、口語、寫作等英語能力進行全方位的訓練，幫助學習者打下扎實的語言基本功，盡快提高英語的綜合應用能力。

第四篇：淺談新概念英語

看到論壇中的網友都在找新概念美語版的錄音，可能與現在的大部分聽力材料都是美語有關(如voa toefl)。不過我推薦大家使用由英國longman公司錄制的新概念，原因很簡單，這套錄音根據不同的英語水平設計了不同的時速，從第一冊的每分鐘約100歌單詞到第二冊的每分鐘120-140個單詞，再到第三四冊的每分鐘150-160個單詞，使學習者逐漸熟悉適應正常的說話速度，設計較為合理，而不象一般的錄音都是一個速度。同時該錄音采用的是Received Pronunciation。即BBC所使用的standerd English，有利于大家以后適應收聽BBC。

另外一個大家比較關心的問題是對聽慣了英國英語后會否聽不懂美語，實際這種擔心是不必要的，我還沒聽說哪個英國人聽不懂美國話，從我的實踐來看也不存在這種問題，二者雖有差異，但并非很大。同時許多網友聽VOA沒有問題了，再聽BBC也不存在聽不懂的問題。

第二個大家比較關心的是發音問題。實話實說，不論你學的是美語還是英語，對于大部分不是從幼兒時期就說英語的人，你所發出的永遠是中國腔的英語，只不過是程度上的差異而已。同時許多專家也提倡在學英語的初期學習英國英語，因為英國英語的發音比較規范，容易養成良好正確的發音習慣。而且從英語改說美語也并不難，找幾部美國電影，跟著里邊的臺詞說幾遍，你的發音就會大大的得以改變。

第三點我想強調的是大家在學新概念時所忽視的一點，就是新概念同時也是訓練大家提高寫作水平的一本好教程，大家仔細看一看每課后的寫作練習，從最簡單的簡單句寫起，一步一步引導你寫出較復雜的句子，再到不提供提示，獨立寫出句子和段落，循序漸進，為大家的英語寫作打下堅實的基礎。

第五篇：新概念英語閱讀

lesson 1 A private conversation Last week I went to the theatre.I had a very good seat.The play was very interesting.I did not enjoy it.A young man and a young woman were sitting behind me.They were talking loudly.I got very angry.I could not hear the actors.I turned round.I looked at the man and the woman angrily.They did not pay any attention.In the end, I could not bear it.I turned round again.?I can't hear a word!? I said angrily.?It's none of your business, ? the young man said rudely.?This is a private conversation!?

Notes on the text 課文注釋go to the theatre，去看戲。got angry，生氣。turn round，轉身，也可用turn around。pay attention，注意。I could not bear it．我無法忍受。其中的it是指上文中的那對男女大聲說話又不理會作者的憤怒目光。none of your business，不關你的事。

lesson 2 Breakfast or lunch? It was Sunday.I never get up early on Sundays.I sometimes stay in bed until lunchtime.Last Sunday I got up very late.I looked out of the window.It was dark outside.?What a day!? I thought.?It's raining again.? Just then, the telephone rang.It was my aunt Lucy.?I've just arrived by train, ? she said.?I'm coming to see you.? ?But I'm still having breakfast, ? I said.?What are you doing?? she asked.?I'm having breakfast, ? I repeated.?Dear me, ? she said.?Do you always get up so late? It's one o'clock!? Notes on the text 課文注釋 on Sundays，指每個星期日。星期幾的前面用介詞on。What a day！多么糟糕的天氣！這是一個省略的感嘆句。完整的句子應該是What a day it is！英語中的感嘆句常用what開頭，后面緊跟一個名詞或名詞性短語(包括連系動詞)，然后是主語和謂語，句尾用感嘆號。I'm coming to see you．在這句話中現在進行時用來表示近期按計劃或安排要進行的動作。Dear me！天哪！這也是一個感嘆句。

lesson 14 Do you speak English? I had an amusing experience last year.After I had left a small village in the south of France, I drove on the next town.On the way, a young man waved to me.I stopped and he asked me for a lift.As soon as he had got into the car, I said good morning to him in French and he replied in the same language.Apart from a few words, I do not know any French at all.Neither of us spoke during the journey.I had nearly reached the town, when the young man suddenly said, very slowly, 'Do you speak English?' As I soon learnt, he was English himself!課文注釋
