教学素材 | 人生旅途轻装上阵

The Art of Traveling Light through Life人生旅途轻装上阵词汇：考研 | 句法：六级 | 文本：考研刘立军 供稿Ancient philosopher Socrates embodied simplicity, owning little and even forgoing shoes. Despite this, he frequented marketplaces not to acquire goods but to appreciate the abundance he could live without, as he famously noted to an inquiring friend. 古代哲学家苏格拉底以其简朴的生活方式著称，他几乎一无所有，甚至常常赤脚行走。然而，正如他曾对一位好奇的朋友所说，他经常光顾市场，不是为了购买商品，而是为了欣赏那些他能够舍弃的丰盛物资。In the context of travel, ‘traveling light’ means moving unencumbered by excessive belongings, which translates into a more pleasant journey with less burden and greater freedom. This idea extends beyond the physical realm into a philosophy for living. This concept encourages us to question what constitutes a life traveled lightly ― is it minimal ownership like Socrates, or is there more to it? 在旅行的语境中，“轻装上阵”意味着不被繁重的行李所累，从而享受更加轻松愉快的旅程，减少负担，获得更多自由。这一理念不仅仅局限于物质层面，它更是一种生活哲学。这种思想引导我们前去思考：什么是轻装上阵的生活——它是像苏格拉底那样过极简的物质生活，还是有更多的内涵？The tale of King Midas reveals that an insatiable desire for possessions can lead to downfall. His wish to turn everything to gold, granted by Dionysus, turns tragic when the things he treasures most are lost to his greed, teaching him the peril of material obsession. 迈达斯国王的故事向我们揭示了一个深刻的道理：对财富的贪得无厌可能导致灭亡。他祈求将一切变为黄金，这一愿望虽由狄俄尼索斯实现了，但当那些他最为珍视的事物因他的贪婪而失去时，这一愿望最终酿成一场悲剧，让他深刻体会到了痴迷物质的危险。Humans naturally accumulate more than necessary, often driven by an innate instinct for survival, from securing homes for shelter to stocking food against hunger. However, for some, this need tilts towards excess, acquiring vast properties and collections of vehicles far beyond necessity, echoing Midas’s folly. While possessions offer convenience, they can also anchor one’s life with responsibilities and maintenance demands, whether it’s the upkeep of a lavish villa or the financial strain of an expensive mortgage, trading freedom for security. 人类出于生存本能，往往会积累超过实际所需的物品，从确保住所的安全，到储备食物以防饥饿，皆出此因。然而，对一些人来说，这种需求逐渐演变为过度的占有欲，他们积累了大量远超必要的财产和车辆，重蹈迈达斯的覆辙。尽管拥有这些财物能带来便利，它们也带来了诸多责任和维护的需求，无论是豪华别墅的日常维护，还是高昂房贷带来的财务压力，都是在以自由换取所谓安全感。Epicurus argued that the pursuit of pleasure should not result in greater distress. Our attachment to both possessions and burdensome thoughts impedes progress. Ancient philosophies, such as Stoicism, Cynicism, and Buddhism, guide us toward letting go of these material and mental weights to alleviate our lives. 伊壁鸠鲁认为，追求快乐不应该导致更多的痛苦。我们对财物的执着以及内心的负担阻碍了我们的进步。斯多葛主义、犬儒主义和佛教等古老哲学都在教导我们：应学会放下这些物质和精神上的重负，让生活变得更加轻松自在。Desires and aversions exert their own weight, where fulfillment leads to contentment and a sense of lightness, while unmet desires breed dissatisfaction and burden. Philosophical traditions across Stoicism, Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam prioritize non-attachment to worldly goods, viewing them as distractions from a path meant for those unburdened. 欲望和厌恶会分别带来不同的负担：当欲望得到满足时，人们会感到轻松和满足；而未满足的欲望则会引发不满和沉重感。无论是斯多葛主义、佛教、基督教还是伊斯兰教，这些哲学传统都强调对世俗财物的淡泊，认为它们是那些追求心灵自由之人路上的障碍，只会分散他们的注意力。The minimalist approach isn’t only about reducing physical possessions but also mental clutter. Letting go of future anxieties and past regrets brings psychological lightness, enhancing our overall well-being and allowing us to navigate life with ease. 极简主义不仅仅意味着减少物质上的财物，它还包含洁净心灵上的杂念。放下对未来的焦虑和对过去的遗憾，可以带来心理上的轻松，进而提升整体幸福感，使我们更加从容地应对生活中的挑战。After periods of global turmoil, embracing a nomadic lifestyle underscored the value of minimalism. The capability to work remotely with minimal equipment exemplifies the physical and metaphysical lightness sought by many. Whether it be in a hotel room or traversing international borders, the ability to live and work with just a suitcase is liberating. 在全球动荡之后，拥抱游牧式的生活方式更加彰显了极简主义的价值。只需极少的装备即可实现远程工作，这体现了许多人所寻求的物质和精神上的双重轻盈。无论是在酒店房间，还是穿梭于国界线之间，仅凭一只手提箱便能自在生活与工作，这一能力赋予人们极大的自由。The agility afforded by traveling light is akin to the experience of playing games like Skyrim with a nimble character. In life, being agile equates to adaptability ― being able to change course rapidly without the encumbrance of possessions or obligations. Ultimately, true lightness is achieved when one’s mind is unburdened by worries and desires, transcending even the most minimalist lifestyle. 轻装上阵所带来的灵活性，就如同在玩《上古卷轴5：天际》游戏时操纵一个敏捷角色的体验。在生活中，灵活意味着适应能力——能够在不被物质所累或义务束缚的情况下迅速改变方向。最终，当一个人的心灵不再受忧虑和欲望所困时，真正的轻盈感就实现了，这种状态甚至超越了最简约的生活方式所带来的自由感。An uncluttered mind allows for a truly light life journey, wherein the absence of mental strain makes even the smallest suitcase seem weightless. 一颗没有杂念的心能让生活旅程真正变得轻盈起来，那时，即便是一个最小的手提箱，在没有精神压力的情况下，也仿佛轻如鸿毛。【词汇】1. forgo v. 放弃2. unencumbered adj. 无负担的；没有阻碍的3. the tale of King Midas 迈达斯的故事。传说，希腊神话中的弗里吉亚王迈达斯贪恋财富，求神赐予点物成金的法术，酒神狄俄尼索斯满足其愿望。最后连他的爱女和食物也都因被他手指点到而变成金子。他无法生活，又向神祈祷，一切才恢复原状。4. insatiable adj. 不知足的；无法满足的5. folly n. 愚蠢；愚笨6. upkeep n. 保养；维修7. villa n. 度假别墅8.

TRANSCRIPTUse Habit Stacking to Help Get HealthyA woman in Portland, Oregon started her daily exercise habit with one activity — walking her dog. Lindsay Kee then added movements to this daily activity. (Q1) Before leaving on the walk, she did some standing stretches. On her return, she did other exercises such as jumping jacks.jumping jacks 开合跳Over time, Kee added more exercises around the dog walk. She said adding exercises to an existing activity took the pressure off of creating a whole new daily exercise. And now more than a year later, she consistently exercises around the dog walk.Kee said, “I’ve found it to be really effective in helping me be consistent with things that I really want to do.”What Kee did is called habit stacking. Writer S.J. Scott created this term for his 2014 book of the same name. (Q2) The idea behind habit stacking is to attach something you want to start doing to something you already do every day.habit stacking 习惯叠加A common example is flossing your teeth after brushing them. However, you can use habit stacking in many areas of your daily life. Kee, for example, places her vitamins next to the coffee machine. This helps her remember to take them every morning.Exercise experts say habit stacking is especially helpful if you are trying to increase exercise time.Dana Santas is a movement expert who has trained more than 50 professional sports teams. She combines exercise habits with personal health care. (Q3) For example, Santas does push-ups before every shower. And she does leg exercises while brushing her teeth. She says that her electric toothbrush makes a sound every 30 seconds to remind her to brush different teeth. But she uses the reminder to change her exercises. “It’s perfect,” she added.push-up n. 俯卧撑Two minutes of exercise may not get you in shape. But experts say, every little bit helps. (Q4) Experts at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention suggest getting 150 minutes of moderate activity, like a fast walk, every week. Or you could also get 75 minutes of very energetic activity, like jogging, every week. The health experts also suggest two days a week of strength training.moderate adj. 适度的，中等强度的Most people find keeping new habits difficult. And while habit stacking is not a perfect solution, it does help with one barrier — decision-making.Gretchen Rubin is the writer of Better Than Before: Mastering the Habits of Our Everyday Lives. She said habit stacking is one of the best ways to start and keep new habits. The technique helps to remove the barrier of deciding when or if to do something.Rubin shared a story of her college days. To help her stay active, she would only shower if she had exercised that day.She suggested combining the new, or what she calls “shaky” behavior with something you have to do or deeply want to do.(Q5) “So you have to do the shaky habit before you get to the strong habit,” Rubin said. (Q5) If she wants to listen to a podcast, her strong habit, she must do it while exercising on a running machine. For her, this will strengthen her shaky habit.Part III. KEYQ1. B. 细节题。题目出处为：Before leaving on the walk, she did some standing stretches. 意为：在开始遛狗前，她会做一些站立伸展运动。这表明Kee最初通过在遛狗前做站立伸展运动来培养锻炼的习惯。因此答案是B。Q2.

教学素材 | 如何战胜对失败的恐惧

How to Break through Your Fear of Failure 如何战胜对失败的恐惧 词汇 | CET-4 | 句法CET-4 | 文本CET-6刘立军 供稿Failure is a normal part of life. Everyone experiences it, especially when stepping outside of their comfort zone. Despite being common, failure feels overwhelming because it is tied to negative emotions like shame and disappointment. However, the real issue may not be failure itself but the fear of failing. 失败是生活的一部分。每个人都会经历，尤其是在走出舒适区的时候。尽管失败很普遍，但它带来的负面情绪如羞耻和失望等等让人感到难以承受。然而，真正的问题可能不是失败本身，而是对失败的恐惧。Reframe Your Fear 重新定义你的恐惧 It’s important to ask yourself why you are afraid of failure. Are you worried about others’ opinions, losing a job, or not achieving your goals? Failure can damage your self-esteem and confidence, but it’s part of growth. Instead of seeing failure as an end, think of it as a learning opportunity. 重要的是要问自己为什么害怕失败。你是在担心别人的眼光，失去工作，还是无法实现自己的目标？失败可能会损害你的自尊和自信，但它同时也是成长的一部分。与其将失败视为终点，不如把它看作是一次学习的机会。For example, if you didn’t get a job you wanted, this setback could be a chance to improve your skills and find a better fit. If you miss a deadline, it can teach you to manage your time better. By analyzing what went wrong, you can turn failure into a stepping stone for success. 例如，如果你没有得到想要的工作，这次挫折可能是一个提升技能并找到更合适机会的契机。如果你错过了一个截止日期，这可以教会你更好地管理时间。通过分析是哪里出了问题，你可以把失败转变为通往成功的垫脚石。Changing your mindset is key. Rather than fearing failure, view it as part of the process of learning and improvement. This shift can make you stronger and more resilient. 改变心态是关键。不要害怕失败，而是把它视为学习和提升的一部分。这种心态的转变会让你变得更强大、更有韧性。Visualize Success 设想成功 Fear often leads to self-doubt and procrastination. To overcome this, train your mind to focus on positive thoughts. Replace negative thinking with positive affirmations. For instance, athletes use visualization techniques to improve performance. By mentally picturing success, they enhance their physical skills.恐惧常常会导致自我怀疑和拖延。为了克服这一点，要训练你的思维专注于积极的想法。用积极的肯定来代替消极的思考。例如，运动员使用视觉化技巧来提升自己的成绩。通过在脑海中描绘成功的场景，他们能够增强自己的运动技能。You can do the same. Try visualizing yourself achieving your goals. Be specific and use your senses to imagine success vividly. You can also create vision boards with images and words that represent your goals to keep you motivated. Visualizing your achievements can help you stay focused and reduce fear. 你也可以这样做。尝试想象自己达成目标时的情景。具体一些，用感官生动地想象成功时的各种细节。你还可以制作一个愿景板，上面贴满代表你目标的图片和文字，以保持动力。想象自己达成目标可以帮助你保持专注，减少恐惧。Surround Yourself with Supportive People 与支持你的人为伴 Having supportive friends and mentors is crucial in overcoming fear. Real friends offer encouragement and can help you stay motivated, even during tough times. They can also provide honest feedback, helping you navigate challenges and improve. 拥有支持你的朋友和导师对于克服恐惧至关重要。真正的朋友不仅会在你遇到困难时给予鼓励，帮助你保持进取心，还会提供真诚的反馈，帮你应对挑战并不断进步。Supportive relationships make failure less daunting. When others believe in you, it becomes easier to believe in yourself and keep going after setbacks. 支持性的关系使失败显得不那么可怕。当他人对你有信心时，你也会更容易相信自己，并在遭遇挫折后继续前进。Take Action 采取行动 Fear of failure can paralyze you, making it hard to take action. However, taking small steps helps build confidence and reduces fear. Start with manageable tasks, and as you achieve them, you’ll feel more capable. Focus on progress rather than perfection. Remember, failure is not the end ― it’s part of the journey toward success. 对失败的恐惧可能会让你停滞不前，难以采取行动。然而，通过一步步采取行动，你可以逐渐建立信心，减少恐惧。从容易处理的任务开始，随着你逐步完成它们，你会感觉自己更有能力。专注于进步而不是完美。记住，失败并不是终点，而是通向成功之旅的一部分。Taking action is key to breaking the cycle of fear. Every step forward helps you move closer to your goal, even if there are failures along the way. 行动是打破恐惧循环的关键。每前进一步，即使途中遇到失败，都会让你更接近目标。Learn from Failure 从失败中学习Failure is an opportunity to learn and improve. Instead of resisting failure, accept it as part of life’s ups and downs. Entrepreneur Malcolm Forbes said, “Failure is success if we learn from it.” Each failure teaches you valuable lessons that can guide better decisions in the future. 失败是学习和提升的机会。与其抗拒失败，不如接受它是生活起伏的一部分。企业家马尔科姆·福布斯说：“如果我们从失败中学习，那么失败就是成功。”每次失败都能教会我们宝贵的教训，指导我们在未来做出更好的决定。Life is not perfect, and neither is the path to success. Embracing failure with humility and courage will help you thrive. Celebrate your successes, but also appreciate the lessons that failure brings. 生活并不完美，成功之路也不尽然如此。以谦逊和勇气接受失败，这将帮助你茁壮成长。庆祝你的成功，但也要珍惜失败带来的教训。When you stop fearing failure, you open up a world of new possibilities. 当你不再害怕失败时，你将打开一个充满新的可能性的世界。【词汇】 1. mindset n. 心态2. resilient adj. 有韧性的；适应力强的3. procrastination n. 拖延症4. affirmation n. 确认，断言5. mentor n. 导师，指导者6. navigate v. 导航，航行；找到正确的方法7. daunting adj. 使人气馁的，使人畏缩的8. paralyze v. 使瘫痪，使麻痹9. humility n. 谦逊，虚心（本文图片来源于摄图网，版权归摄图网所有)

Its accessibility and health benefits.C. The psychological impact on athletes.D. The technological advancements in stair equipment.Part II. TRANSCRIPTStair-climbing: A Sure Way to Burn CaloriesIf you are trying to lose weight, climbing stairs as a regular exercise might be for you.Stairs are available in many places. And research shows stair-climbing is more effective than walking on level ground.“Overall, it is a fact that stair-climbing gets you fit faster and consumes more calories,” said Lauri van Houten, vice president of the International Skyrunning Federation. The organization oversees a number of activities that involve climbing.“How many calories will I burn is the question everyone wants to know,” van Houten said. “Here’s the good news: The overall energy expenditure of the exercise depends on your weight. Therefore, the more you weigh, the more you burn,” she said.Research shows you burn about 20 times more calories going up stairs than walking on flat ground. Even going down stairs, you burn around five times more because your muscles have to work to slow the body.That might be all you need to know if you are trying to lose weight.Dr. Alberto Minetti of Italy’s University of Milan has done a large amount of research on human movement — including stair-climbing. It is an exercise everyone can do and does not cost money, he said.Minetti did the math to explain why going up stairs is so effective for burning calories in a short amount of time.“To move 1 kilogram of body mass over one horizontal meter, you expend 0.5 calories,” he said.horizontal adj. 水平的expend v. 消耗But, he added, (Q1) “If you move 1 kilogram of body mass vertically on stairs it’s 10 calories. So it’s 20 times the calories moving vertically rather than horizontally.”Trained as a doctor, Minetti has spent his career as a researcher. (Q2) He suggested that older people and beginner stair climbers watch their speed.Minetti does his own stair-climbing at his home in Milan. He said he often takes a few deep breaths before going up the many stairs.In a scientific study, Minetti makes the point that using your arms in stair-climbing adds extra power. Handrails offer safety, too.The study notes that handrails are available along most stairs in very tall buildings. (Q3) Using them increases “the muscle mass involved” by getting the arms involved, the study shows.“They are relatively small muscles in the arms, but better than nothing,” Minetti said.If stair-climbing were an Olympic sport, Australian Suzy Walsham would own gold medals.She has won 10 races up New York City’s Empire State Building — officially 1,576 stairs — and five climbs up the Eiffel Tower. Overall, Walsham has won more than 100 international stair races, and was once considered the top woman in the sport.When she was living in Singapore, Walsham climbed up her 29-story building — 37 times straight. It took over four hours with short breaks for coffee or water. She covered a vertical distance of 3,200 meters.Walsham told the Associated Press that stair-climbing is a good form of exercise for many kinds of people.“Many people struggle to run as they age,” she said, noting the exercise is “harder on the joints.”She said stair training is a great substitute for running.substitute n. 替代物(Q4) Stairs are everywhere — one flight, two flights at home, inside very large buildings, in stadiums, at work, in shopping malls, in the subway.Stair-climbing does not take much time. It is easy to build up, adding a few flights of stairs every day or week. Stair-climbing can also help improve balance.And it can easily become part of an exercise plan.Yuri Yoshizumi won last year’s women’s division of the Stairclimbing World Championships in her native Osaka, Japan. She completed the 285-meter climb — 1,610 stairs — in 10 minutes, 20.06 seconds.“Stair-climbing is an easy sport for beginners and the general public to get into,” Yoshizumi told the Associated Press in an email. She said the exercise helps to “strengthen your muscles and your cardiovascular system in a short amount of time.”cardiovascular adj. 心血管的Yoshizumi noted that cities usually have many public stairways for people to climb.“Just using the stairs instead of the escalators at (subway) stations and department stores is a good way to get some exercise,” she said.escalator n. 自动扶梯Part III.

TRANSCRIPTWhat Is the Lunar New Year?(Q1) On February 10, Asian American communities around the world will ring in the Year of the Dragon. Some Lunar New Year celebrations will be public, like parades and fireworks. But, families will also gather for private parties.What is the Lunar New Year?The Lunar New Year is a major holiday in several Asian countries. And people celebrate over several days or even weeks. It is called the Spring Festival in China, Tet in Vietnam and Seollal in Korea. The holiday begins on the first new moon of the lunar calendar and ends 15 days later on the first full moon. Because the holiday is based on the moon, it falls somewhere between the end of January and the end of February. The lunar calendar is based on 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac. The animals are rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog and pig. (Q2) In the Vietnamese zodiac, the cat replaces the rabbit and the buffalo is in place of the ox. For 2024, it is the year of the dragon for both.Tet 是“Tết Nguyên Đán”的简称，是越南春节的简称the Chinese zodiac 中国十二生肖buffalo n. 水牛（分非洲水牛和亚洲水牛两种）What are some traditions around the Lunar New Year?One well-known ancient story speaks of Nian, a terrible monster that eats human flesh on New Year’s Day.

People also burn red lanterns all night and set off firecrackers to chase away the monster. To this day, the Lunar New Year celebration is centered on removing bad luck and welcoming all that is good and successful. Red is considered a lucky color to ring in a new year. In many Asian cultures, the color symbolizes a good future and joy. People wear red clothing, decorate their homes with red paper lanterns and use red envelopes to present loved ones with gifts of money. Gambling and playing traditional games are common during Lunar New Year among celebrants around the world. Ancestor worship is also common during this time. (Q5) Many Korean families take part in a ceremony called “charye.” Female family members prepare food and male members serve it to ancestors. The final act involves the entire family sharing a meal and asking for help from their ancestors for the coming year. Vietnamese culture holds a similar tradition.

Koreans celebrate with “tteokguk,” a soup that contains thinly sliced rice cakes. And Vietnamese culture has “banh chung”, a traditional dish made from rice, mung bean and pork belly.

第12届教学大赛商务英语组二等奖贺静授课

授课点评：贺静老师授课效果较好，教学目标清楚、教学方法得当、教学程序井井有条。此外，贺静老师口齿清晰，语音语调比较纯正、流利；教态端庄自然，有亲和力，教学过程中与学生互动良好，体现了以学生为主体，教师为主导的教学原则。授课分两部分。第一部分介绍该单元（Empire of Wealth）的总教学安排，用了3分30秒，时间把握得比较好。另外，设计的PPT形式多样，各种图表清楚展现了教学安排。授课开始的第三分钟，PPT显示的该单元总教学目标及三篇课文的教学目标一览无遗，加上贺静老师的阐释，清晰地传递了教学目标和学习目标，这能帮助学生在课堂内外围绕主题有效学习。紧接着，贺静老师借助PPT上的流程图比较详细地介绍了授课课文In Praise of Competitive Urges的教学安排，其中的Problem-centred教学方法对学生发现、分析和解决问题有很大帮助。之后进入第二部分：比赛授课阶段。第二部分具体授课含四个阶段。进入第一阶段Warm-up时，贺静老师显得有点紧张，但很快就调整好了状态。该阶段有教师对课文理解的提问，请学生从课文中找到相关的依据回答问题，这种做法本来值得称道，因为授课不能离开课文。但是，Warm-up阶段是课前准备阶段，因此，贺静老师在Warm-up阶段讲解课文不妥，建议把重点放在教材中的Warm-up Activities上，适当设计一些附加的活动，才符合教学逻辑。此外，在总时间为20分钟且第一阶段用了3分30秒的情况下，Warm-up阶段用了5分1秒显得有点过长。之后是第二阶段Questionnaire Results，贺静老师分析解释了调查表中的信息，谈了自己对问题的看法，期间激励学生思考、回答问题，这对培养学生的独立思考能力及理解课文非常有益。Questionnaire之后进入授课第三阶段：Wealth-flaunting Motivations / Summarizing。炫富动机是课文包含的核心内容之一。因此，讨论炫富动机有助于学生理解课文。教师要求学生从PPT上（视频13'）显示的课文段落寻找答案，并要求学生做pair work找到有关的词汇。另外，通过分析课文的修辞寓意，贺静老师阐释了文章作者的真实目的。这一点做得很好。另一方面，根据该单元内容，所授的是“综合商务英语”课程。因此，贺静老师应更多围绕语言难点、篇章结构、写作风格、文法修辞等方面进行解释，让学生对课文有更深层次的理解。第四阶段Assignment在视频18'15"开始。课后作业包括questionnaire设计、调研报告写作、相关阅读作业。这样较好兼顾了综合商务英语课程语言学习和商务实践的教学特点。建议更多以教材内容教学为主，重视语言、篇章教学，在帮助学生充分理解课文的前提下掌握一些商务知识和技能；需要结合课文融入更多的思政教育内容。点评专家：翁凤翔

第12届教学大赛商务英语组特等奖潘紫萌说课

说课点评：在30分钟的准备时间里，读完、理解一篇800多词的商务英语文章，记住文章的结构和要点，设计出一套有理论指导、教学理念清晰、目标合理、结构完整、方法得当，最好再带点创新的教学方案，然后在10分钟的时间里，用英语条理清晰地把它展示出来，这对任何商务英语教师来讲都是一项重大的挑战。潘紫萌老师首先分析了课文，根据内容将其解构成三大部分。选手将第二部分（第3-8段）归纳成 promotion, price and place 和将第三部分（第9段）归纳成对计划进入中国市场的外国企业的忠告，这都是正确的。但是，她把第一部分（第1-2段）归纳成product，进而把前两部分归纳成营销学中著名的4P战略，这种做法有待商榷。因为课文的第1段主要讲两个问题：1）营销战略如何在中国成功，2）这些战略如何根据中国人的喜好以及对产品或服务的认知进行调整，而不是具体的产品。也许是准备的时间非常紧迫，选手对课文的理解和归纳出现了偏差。然后，潘老师分析了学生的特点。在教学模式上，她采取以学生为中心、以产出为导向的教学模式。其教学目标包括商务英语知识、商务技能和伦理价值。在具体的教学方法上，她例举了基于任务的教学、基于讨论的教学、案例教学、学生参与的测评等，并强调要综合利用线上线下教学资源。在学习测评上，她采用师生共同参与的方式，以增强教学效果。至于具体的教学步骤，她采用BOPPPS模式，再加课后作业。以上教学方案应该说中规中矩，显示出潘老师对商务英语教学的理论、模式、方法和测评等各要素有比较全面的了解。潘老师最亮眼的表现是在10分钟的时间里，用流利的英语将其教学方案展现出来，而且条理清晰，相关的教学理论、教学方法、商务知识、商务案例均了然于胸，信手拈来，同时口到手到，同步将所讲内容写到白板上，手起笔落，一气呵成。在提问阶段，潘老师的表现依旧出色，理解到位，回答中肯，表现出较高的英语基本功和商务、人文素养。不过有的回答可以再精炼一些。比如在回答第一个问题时，把EGP，EOP，EAP，ESP 的定义都讲了一遍，有点啰嗦。总而言之，潘紫萌在说课中表现突出，是一位素质比较全面、经验比较丰富的优秀商务英语教师。点评专家：陈准民
