My online English lessons take just 5-10 minutes each day to complete. And there are no advertisements to take your attention away. You can also download the sound files to your computer and access them and take your lessons again any time. I've designed the online English course to be a very easy, cheap and quick way to improve your English speaking, listening and conversation skills, and also to improve your listening scores in English exams. ‎ Everyday, you’ll learn some new English vocabulary, idioms and phrasal verbs. And you will feel more confident in working and making friends in English. You also learn correct English pronunciation. ‎ I always make sure my online English lessons are short, interesting and easy to remember. My idea of learning English is that it is best for you to learn a little each day and remember it clearly. This idea doesn't mean a new method, but instead, it is a concept I hope you can accept. Whether you are taking other English classes or not, and no matter what method you use, it can help you to achieve your English-learning goals.‎ ‎2011年高考英语（湖北卷） 听力原文 Text 1‎ W: Why?

She's practising it every day.‎ M: You should be happy then.‎ W: Yeah. It's Bob that's worried about. He really wants to buy drums.

Planes won't take off until tomorrow morning.‎ W: What? Then where can we stay for the night?‎ M: We've arranged the rooms for you in the airport hotel.

But I have to buy all my music things as well things for school and have hardly anything left to spend on clothes.‎ M: Right. Do you have to help around house?‎ W: Not really.‎ M: So you don't have to do anything for this pocket money.‎ W: Mum said if I did that I will never have time to do my school work.‎ M: Has she said you can have more pocket money when you are 15?‎ W: Well, Mum just says she'll decide when I'm ready to have more. And I've just got to wait.‎ M: Maybe you should sit down with her and say "How can I prove that I am old enough to get more?"‎ W: So, I should talk to her again.‎ M: Yes, but don't argue with her. Just discuss it calmly.‎ W: OK, thanks.‎ Text 10‎ ‎ Welcome on board. Welcome to Anderson Tour to Stonehenge and Bath. Well, we've got everyone here. My name is Lorra and I'll be your tour guide. Our driver is Gary. If you have any ‎ questions, don't hesitate to ask us. That's what we're here for.‎ ‎ First, just a few ways about safety. The coach is equipped with seat belts. In Britain it's required to fasten the belt. And for the comfort of others, we ask you there should be no food or drink on the coach.‎ ‎ Now to arrangements today.

After you get there, the coach will drop you in the city centre. The tour manager will walk you into the world well-known Roman Baths built by the Romans in the 3rd century AD. And from this point on, you'll have free time to explore the city and grab some lunch.‎ ‎ 15:30 is the departure time from Bath for your return journey back to London.‎ Hope you enjoy the trip.‎ ‎2012年高考英语（湖北卷） 听力原文 Text 1‎ W: They say you’ve got a job in New York City.‎ M: Yeah, within the United Nations.‎ W: How fascinating!

Any idea how to get rid of it?‎ M: Well, maybe we can surf the Internet and see if we can come up with something.‎ Text 4‎ M: I heard you had a car accident. Did you get hurt?‎ W: I’m all right.

Congratulations on your book Life and Everything in Between, Steven. It’s such a success.‎ M: Thank you.‎ W: This is your first attempt at poetry? Did you ever try it before? Did you take any classes in ‎ poetry?‎ M: Well. My only real experience was writing business plans. Other than that, I have zero experience, where writing is concerned. I have always had a good grasp of the English language, thanks to my mom who started my reading when I was very little.‎ W: What’s the hardest thing about creating your work?‎ M: Definitely finding the perfect words to fit what I wanted to say. There’s always a word or two that I might rewrite if given the chance.‎ W: Will there be more collections of poetry from Darcy?‎ M: There will be more of something I suppose. But maybe not poetry. I really don’t see myself as a poet. Rather, I see what I wrote as a kind of writing that might inspire people in some way.‎ Text 10 ‎ W: Good morning Ladies and Gentleman, welcome to East Campus library. To start your tour, ‎ I’m going to give you some useful information and regulations. I won’t keep you long. ‎ First, how to enter our library. Thanks to the advanced technology, you just need to bring your student card and touch it in front of the touch point. And the door will automatically open for you. In the opening hour, our library is open from 9.am till 10.pm every weekday. For the weekends, it’s only open from 11.am to 4.pm. Please bear that in mind, so you won’t come in vain. Our library is also open for the local residents. And there’re differences for the students and the public. Our current students can borrow up to 12 books at a time. However for the rest, the maximum they can borrow is 9. You need to return the books on time, or your library account will be blocked. And you can’t borrow any more books. Remember books have different due dates according to their popularity. Mostly, the book should be returned within 4 weeks. But for the popular books, you have to bring them back within only one week. The last thing I must mention here is that you are not allowed to smoke in library anywhere at anytime. And as to drinks, only bottled water is allowed to bring in.

Is it downtown? ‎ W: Yes. It’s just a block away from the finance center.‎ M: Well, that certainly adds to its value. Is it in good shape? ‎ W: It was built in the 90s, but we’ve just had it redecorated. ‎ M: You also need to consider the prices of other flats in the neighborhood. ‎ W: Sure, sure. ‎ M: Can you decide on the offer price now? ‎ W: Um, probably not. I’d better talk with my husband first. ‎ M: Thanks for the information though. I’ll contact you when we have decided. ‎ Text 9‎ M: Oh, I hope Alexander likes this. It’s a bit of risk serving fish and shrimps to a guest who comes to visit us for the first time. Maybe I should also prepare a steak. ‎ W: Yeah, it’s not a bad idea. Alexander is the new director of my department and I don’t know much about his preference. He came from another department of the company early this year. ‎ M: I’ve never met him before, but I’ve heard a lot about him from you in the past few days. It seems that he’s a very good boss with rich business experience. ‎ W: Absolutely. He is the one who comes to save the department. ‎ M: Really? Why do you say so? ‎ W: Well, you know, last year when economy was not good, our profit was far from satisfying. The company even thought about closing down this department. ‎ M: So what about the situation this year? ‎ W: Alexander introduced the brand new system for sales management and it’s quite effective and efficient. The profit has even doubled in the last month. ‎ M: Wow, that’s fantastic. I cannot wait to meet him for a dinner. ‎ Text 10‎ M: The coming next program is “One Man Show” by David Mellor. The guy David Mellor needs no introduction. He is so famous not only because of his talent but because of his looks, neither pretty nor ugly. That’s strange, especially his face. It’s like a flat board. On the board, eyes, nose, mouth and ears are all in their places, but each of them processes easily recognized characteristics. Take eyes for example. When they are open, what you can see are two very narrow lines. And nose, a lot bit of raised and shaped like a badminton bat. And his smile face, well, let me say this way: Each corner could reach the ear, as the saying goes, “smile from ear to ear” or “wear a big smile”. But our guy never smiles. Actually he doesn’t know how to smile, not to say laugh. His full and very black moustache covers his upper lip. Whenever he wants to start a speech, he bites his lips for a while. During his talk, he clears his throat from time to time. Although he pretends to be gentle, he may make you feel very tense and worried. Before I invite him onto this stage, one thing I should warn you of: Listen to his talk; don’t watch his face or his show. Ladies and gentlemen, now Mr. David Mellor!‎ ‎2009年参考答案： ACBCA CABAB CABAC BBABC ‎2010年参考答案： CBCBA ABBCA CABAC BCAAB ‎2011年参考答案： ABBCB CAACA BBACC ABABC ‎2012年参考答案： BACBC CBBAC BAACA CBABC ‎2013年参考答案： ACABC CAABB CBABA CBACC
