新视野大学英语第一册Unit1 Learning a Foreign Language课文翻译及课后答案Unit 1 Section A1. 学习外语是我一生中最艰苦也是最有意义的经历之一虽然时常遭遇挫折，但却非常有价值2. 我学外语的经历始于初中的第一堂英语课老师很慈祥耐心，时常表扬学生由于这种积极的教学方法，我踊跃回答各种问题，从不怕答错两年中，我的成绩一直名列前茅3. 到了高中后，我渴望继续学习英语然而，高中时的经历与以前大不相同以前，老师对所有的学生都很耐心，而新老师则总是惩罚答错的学生每当有谁回答错了，她就会用长教鞭指着我们，上下挥舞大喊：“错！错！错！”没有多久，我便不再渴望回答问题了我不仅失去了回答问题的乐趣，而且根本就不想再用英语说半个字4. 好在这种情况没持续多久到了大学，我了解到所有学生必须上英语课与高中老师不同，大学英语老师非常耐心和蔼，而且从来不带教鞭！不过情况却远不尽如人意由于班大，每堂课能轮到我回答的问题寥寥无几上了几周课后，我还发现许多同学的英语说得比我要好得多我开始产生一种畏惧感虽然原因与高中时不同，但我却又一次不敢开口了看来我的英语水平要永远停步不前了。
