There are four books for New Concept English. Having finished the first book: First Things First (英语初阶), and let come to the second book: Practice & Progress(实践与进步）.

有了第一册基础，第二册学习就已经进行开始大量“输入”：阅读理解和听力理解，在积累词汇，完善语法的基础上，有目的地进行句子和短文写作训练，而训练的方法是先模仿，再“创造”！

必须明白：英语是一种用来交流的语言工具，而不是什么深奥的“知识”。我们学习英语就应该从一开始重视“听力理解”和“阅读理解”，强调“英语听说”在学习中的“优先作用”！

全面的英语学习包括：听说读写译。除了“英语听说”之外，我们还要坚持阅读与写作，这些同样需要我们Practice, Only practice more, can we make more progress (只有经过大量的训练，我们才有可能取得进步）。

我在给学员教学《新感念英语》的过程中，严格遵循被实践也已证明是最佳的课堂教学法：Nothing should be spoken before it has been heard.（听过的再说）；Nothing should be read before it has been spoken.（说过的再读）；Nothing should be written before it has been read.（读过的再写）。

Lesson 11, Book 2, New Concept English

1、英语听说 （听录音: 跟读课文）

One good turn deserves another

I was having dinner at a restaurant when Tony Steel came in. Tony worked in a lawyer’s office years ago, but he is now working at a bank. He get a good salary, but he always borrows meny from his friends and never pays it back. Tony saw me and came and sat at the same table. He has never borrowed money from me. While he was eating, I asked him to lend me twenty ponds. To my surprise, he gave me the money immediately. “ I have never borrowed any money from you, “ Toney said, “ so now you can pay for my dinner.”

5、英语写作（改课文，创新创作）

We were having dinner in a restaurant when Tony Steels came in. Tony Steel was a friend of the writer, and he had a bad reputation: Always borrowed money from others, but never pay it back.

Tony Steels sat at the same table with the writer, and the writer wanted to borrow 20 ponds from him. To writer’s surprise, Tony gave the money to him at once, but he said to the writer: “I have never borrowed the money from you before, so you can pay me for the dinner.”

根据摘要写作（P48-49）提成的问题，把答案组成一个段落，结果就变成了对课文内容进行创新改写，从而逐步形成自己的写作习惯！

English is just a tool for communication, NOT a "Science".

、补充资料（Deserve,礼尚往来）

Tony Steels is a friend of the writer, and he has a bad reputation, and he always borrows money form others, but never pay it back. One day. The writer wanted to embarrassed Tony Steele but only to find himself the fool.

Speaking the money, I remembered what the famous poet Shakespeare once said: : Never lend money to our friends. In which he expressed his idea: lending money is apt to losing friends.

Toney Steels 是作者的一个朋友，他总是向别人借钱而不还。有一天作者先窘困一下Tony, 没从相对自己反被愚弄。

说到借钱，我想起了大诗人莎士比亚曾经说过的一句话：永远不要借钱给朋友。借钱给朋友容易失去朋友。

如果你也能安装上述方法认真学习《新概念英语》，那么你的英语四项基本技能：听、说、读、写，一定会在一个较短的时间内得到大幅度地提高。

Believe it or not? 信不信由你！反正我是相信了，而且早已经做到了！It is your turn to learn English in a unique way, NOT the traditional method to learn it as "knowledge".

谨记：英语是一种用来交流的语言工具，需要反复训练已达到脱口而出的目的， 而非是一种深奥的“知识”。衡量是否掌握一门语言，最终要看他运用如何，而不是他懂了多少“知识”！

正如《新概念英语》第二册教学目的：Practice & Progress (实践与进步)。只有通过不断的实践训练，才有可能学习进步，灵活运用这门语言！
