Back

in

the

last

century

self-study

used

to

mean

trying

to

learn

from

books.

Then

as

technology moved on, electric products

1

the way people learn a language. Audio cassettes

enabled people to practice listening, video provided a vivid cultural environment of the language,

computers

made

interactivity

possible,

and

the

2

of

the

Windows

95

operating

system

opened

the

door

to

full

multimedia

programs

that

could

offer

more

than

what

the

traditional

materials could do.

Today technology has moved on

3

. The Internet has served as a communication centre.

The general use of email has

4

new opportunities for teachers to assist learning at a distance,

which has an impact on

5

learning structures. As you can make more and more progress on

your

own,

the

role

of

the

teacher

is

changing.

Basic

information

and

drill

can

be

provided

by

computer; the teacher is then free to concentrate on the more important

6

: motivation and

production of language in speech or writing.

The latest development is a direct email link from self-study CD-ROMs to an online teacher.

Now you can get

7

one-to-one tuition from any multimedia PC with an internet connection.

When you need more help you

8

email the tutor. The tutor will know which course you

are following and your results to date so he is able to provide good, relevant advice. All you do is

buy

the

CD-ROM

at

normal

price

and

then

get

additional

9

as

you

feel

the

need.

So

the

self-study becomes distance learning with all its advantages of flexibility and low cost.

Section A

I had a week

’

s holiday to use and I wanted to spend it in the best hotel I could find. That was

why I chose the haven. Set in a country park, I thought I would be able to escape the problems and

pressures

of

1

life.

But,

just

twenty-four

hours

after

arriving

there,

my

wife

and

I

experienced problems with the restaurant, the service and the

2

.

We

should

have

left

and

returned

to

our

3

when

we

saw

two

policemen

walking

outside the hotel,

4

the building. One of them showed us how our room could be

5

in

through the windows. It seems that the hotel has no

6

on the windows. Although we were a

little worried, our XXX were

7

when we believed a good- sized bed, a flat-screen TV, a spa

bath and more suggested a comfortable stay.

Things started to go from bad to worse the following morning when I found the restaurant

only served

8

meals. I was disappointed and upset: six days of rabbit food and no steak and

chips? What had I let myself in for? We should have been told about the food before we

9

. I

ordered my breakfast against my will

10

, but I had to wait forty-five minutes for it to arrive.

This was not the

11

I expected.

That afternoon, when we returned from a tour around a village nearby, we found that nearly

￡

200 had been stolen from our room.

The Haven

12

to refund us the money. They claimed

that they could not be responsible for any loss if our

13

was not locked.

My

holiday

was

then

a

total

14

;

I

thought

a

“

Haven

”

was

supposed

to

be

a

quiet,

peaceful place.

do working in the office for a week.

the

school

went

to

catch

a

). Watching such

eating

her

boyfriend.

a

frightful

dream

about

a

wolfmen,

going all hairy and getting locked in the dog house where he was bullied by a brainsick huge dog.

And

the

nightmare

that

caused

Cleo

to

wake

up

in

a

cold

sweat

was

all

about

a

pale,

toothy

plumber(

水暖工

) who kept trying to fit a tap to her neck.

Uncle Jeremiah sighed-again. He trailed back to bed and buried his head under the pillow.

Ant and Cleo settled down to watch
