听力原文：Bilingual Education Good morning. Today we will talk about

bilingual education. (1) Bilingual education is an educational program that provides

instruction in both the students’ native language and the language of the host country.

The ways in which bilingual programs are implemented by the different states differ

greatly. (2) One of the most common models of bilingual education in the United

States is called transitional bilingual education. In this kind of program, students learn

ESL while taking all their other classes in their native language. Students must stop

taking classes in their native language after some period of time, usually three years.

After the three-year time limit, students start taking all their classes in English only.

The reasoning for this model is that native language classes should serve as a

transition to English. The main goal of a transitional program is to teach students

English as quickly as possible. (3) Another kind of program is called maintenance

bilingual education. Maintenance programs do not have the same time limit as

transitional programs do. (4) Students can continue taking content-area classes in their

native language for as long as they need to or want to. The idea behind a maintenance

program is that a child’s native language is worth maintaining and developing. In fact,

research has shown that students who know their first language well will be more

successful in learning how to read and write a second language. (5) One of the

problems with maintenance programs is that they are more expensive than transitional

programs. Two-way bilingual education is a program which offers second

language instruction to students whose native language is English, while at the same

time providing ESL to students who speak a language other than English. (6) The

purpose of two-way bilingual education programs is to make all students bilingual.

Finally, there is immersion bilingual education. In these programs, students take

all-English courses for one year or two before they begin to take courses in their

native language. In other words, they are immersed in English for the first year or two.

Many students feel overwhelmed during the first two years. (7) While struggling to

learn English, they lost valuable time that should be spent learning important concepts

in math and science. (8-1) Bilingual education has always been and continues to

be a controversial subject. The history of “English-only” politics dates back to the

early days of the country. Some people are angered by the freedom with which

today’s newcomers speak their native tongue in public. (9) Some critics argue that

bilingual education places an unfair burden on schools, and that taxpayers’ money

should not be spent teaching immigrants in their native language. Many people in

favor of bilingual education agree that some bilingual programs are better than others,

though not all of them are successful. Some supporters of bilingual education argue

that the real reason that critics are opposed to these programs is that these programs

really work. (10) Bilingual proponents say that critics of bilingual education don’t

really want immigrants to be successful at school. (8-2) Whatever happens,

bilingual education will certainly continue to be controversial. That’s all for today’s

lecture. Thank you.

mean by the informational interviews?W: Just a great way really to learn more about

the industry. You might pick up a few leads or get a few contacts, much better than

sending your resume out blindly.M: I see. OK, you’ve done all these things. Now

you’re ready for the real doing. You wanna go into an interview to get a job.W:

Right.M: (6-2) What advice do you have for the interview?W: (10) First and foremost,

you should go in there confident, and ready to take charge. You should know all about

the company before you go in there. You wanna be a good listener. Because ultimately

whether you get the job could boil down to your interviewing skills and your report

with the interviewers. So you wanna come across confident and poised. You wanna

ask very intelligent questions. And be enthusiastic.M: OK, Vera Black as always,

good you could be here.W: Thank you, Robert.6. What is the talk mainly about?7.
