英语4级高频词汇 篇2

近年来,随着语料库语言学和计算机检索技术不断向前发展,主要基于词频进行的学术词汇研究取得了许多重要成果,其中独具开创性和较大影响力的是Coxhead[1]在West[6]编制的GSL(General Service List)通用词表的基础上,借助Range软件开发的学术词汇表AWL(Academic Word List)。该词表来自容量350万词,涵盖人文、经济、法律、科学4个大类28个专业的学术英语语料库,共包含570个词族,并按使用频率划分为10个子表。AWL在学术语篇中的覆盖率约为10%,而在非学术文本如新闻语篇和小说文本中的平均覆盖率则仅占4.5%和1.4%[7],一定程度上印证了学术词汇难以完全通过随机方式习得的主张[8],同时也突显出学术词汇对于EAP学习者与使用者的重要意义。例如,人们在构建学术语篇的过程中就经常需要借助学术词汇来阐述观点(assume,establish,indicate,conclude,maintain)或描述研究方法(analyse,assess,define,establish,categorize seek)[2]P18。

1 研究背景

AWL推出后,多位研究者从建库语料类型选取、词频标准的制定、AWL在不同学科学术语篇的覆盖率对比、AWL针对专业学科的适用性、学术词汇与通用词汇边界的处理、学术词汇的一词多义现象等方面对学术词汇进行了基于语料库的深入探索与研究[9,10,11,12,13,14,15]。这些研究极大地推动了AWL在EAP课程设置、教材编写、词汇教学与测试等方面的应用。

Coxhead提出的学术词表在得到研究者和EAP教师广泛肯定的同时,也存在一些焦点问题,其中主要包括:1)学术词汇对不同学科专业,特别是Coxhead自建语料库中所占比重较低的理工类专业的适用性;2)学术词汇是否应独立于通用词汇或专业词汇;3)学术词汇的词频提取标准设定;4)如何处理学术词汇的使用频率(frequency)与分布(range)之间存在反比例关系的矛盾。

如表1所示,近年来的学术词汇研究重心转向了理工农医学科与人文学科并重的专业化研究,研究的语料也涉及多种文本类型,主要包括教科书、研究论文及摘要、专业研究报告等,有些语料库还纳入了学习者语料库,根据研究需要语料库容量也从十几万词到数百万词不等。其中值得指出的是,这些研究从多学科的角度验证了“AWL词汇在学术语篇中的覆盖率稳定保持在10%左右”[16]P357。这也意味着通用词汇和学术词汇合起来将覆盖学术语篇约90%的词汇,如EAP学习者在此基础上掌握5%左右的专业词汇,将总生词量控制在5%以内,便能够基本达到有效阅读的词汇要求[17]。

研究者同时发现不同专业语料库中学术词汇的词频分布情况与Coxhead[1]AWL词汇源语料库的吻合度存在差异。例如,Hyland和Tse[9]在研究中将其自建语料库中出现频率最高的60个学术词族与AWL子表1所列出的60个词族进行比对,结果有35个词族重合;而在Martínez等[18]所做研究中AWL子表1的词族重合数仅为29;国内学者吴瑾和王同顺[11]通过对上海交大科技英语语料库(JDEST)中的AWL词汇统计发现,以JDEST为基础编制的学术词表中学术词汇所处的子表位置与AWL子表位置相异程度达77%,但其中373个词族与AWL子表位置的差异幅度不超过前后3个子表。因此,Hyland和Tse[9]P235提出,基于专业学术语料库的研究结果“削弱了EAP学习中只存在一套核心词汇的普遍认识”,并建议“语言教师应帮助学生开发更有针对性,基于学科专业的词汇库”。当然,其间也不乏研究者尝试通过跨学科的对比研究发现学术词汇在不同学科下的共性特征,例如Granger和Paquot[19]基于容量170万词,涵盖商业、语言学和医学的跨学科特殊用途语料库(VESPA)提取出了106个多学科共用高频学术动词,以适应留学生英语教育中专业背景多样化的现实。

此外,各项研究在学术词汇的遴选标准与提取方法上也存在一定的差异,例如Ward[14]打破了通用词汇和学术词汇的界限,总共提取了299个适用于工程专业低年级本科生EAP学习的基础学术词汇,而江淑娟[12]在332个高频学术词的基础上加入了166个专业词构成了石油英语学术词汇表。笔者认为,如何处理学术词汇与其他类型词汇的关系,以及如何确定学术词汇的选词标准应结合建表的目的和实际需要,下文将结合上述焦点问题,对AWL学术词汇在信息工程英语语料库中的使用情况进行统计分析,旨在目前普遍采用的方法基础上进一步优化高频学术词汇提取方法与策略,有效提高学术词汇的专业适用性。

2 研究方法

本研究采用自建语料库的方式,采集了信息工程类专业本科教学阶段10门专业必修课英文原版教材内除目录、图表、公式、参考书目、致谢及附录以外的完整语料,内容全面涉及《编程原理》、《操作系统》、《信息系统》、《计算机网络》、《计算机安全》、《数据结构与算法》、《My SQL数据库》、《Java程序设计》、《人工智能》和《密码学》,库容102.5万词。信息工程英语语料库(Information Engineering English Corpus,简称IEEC)属于单学科跨专业、单语料类型语料库,因此对信息工程类专业本科生的双语课程教学具有很强的针对性。研究使用的词汇检索工具为Range软件[20]。

3 结果与讨论

3.1 AWL词汇在IEEC语料库中的覆盖率及频率分布

Range词汇检索软件内置三个词表,词表1和词表2纳入了通用词表GSL中的英语最常用2000词族,也称K1和K2词族,词表3为学术词表AWL的570个词族。统计结果显示,IEEC语料库中共出现学术词族564个,形符(token)总数106506,在整个语料库中的覆盖率为10.39%,GSL通用词汇共计1757个词族,覆盖率80.79%,两者累计占整个语料库的91.18%,与上述同类研究结果基本相符。从IEEC的10个子库来看,“计算机安全”子库学术词汇覆盖率最高16.18%,“数据结构与算法”子库学术词汇覆盖率最低7.98%。进一步分析表明,数据结构与算法子库的GSL词汇覆盖率与IEEC语料库整体覆盖率均在80%左右,由此可以推断该子库的专业词汇比例较高,需要在实际教学中引起重视。

带有上标的学术词汇在语料库中属于主高频子库核心词汇。

如表2数据所示,IEEC语料库中有2个词族data和compute出现频率超过3000次,占AWL词汇形符总数的6.46%,而词频低于50的词族共计206个,形符覆盖率则仅为4.32%。这也意味着,对于总容量100万词的语料库来说,例如data和compute这样的超高频词汇每300词即出现一次,而超低频的206个词族在整个语料库中平均每个只出现20余次,平均至每本教材更低至2-3次。因此,基于词频的词汇研究可以客观地反映出词汇在特定语料中的使用情况,并在此基础上指导研究者和教师在研究和教学中合理地分配时间和精力。

3.2 IEEC语料库高频学术词汇提取

Coxhead[1]在提取AWL词汇时的选词标准为:1)排除GSL词表内词汇;2)选词在整个语料库中的总频数大于100;3)选词在总共28个专业子库中15个以上(含15)子库中出现;4)选词在4个学科大类中至少分别出现10次。此后,部分研究者根据所建语料库的规模,按相对比例设定学术词汇的选词频率,例如将150万词语料库的选词频率定为50或100万词语料库的选词频率定为30[12,21,22,23]。若按照该选词标准,IEEC语料库学术词频应设在30次左右,但实际数据表明该频次以下学术词汇仅占学术词汇形符总数的1.93%,整个语料库形符总数的0.2%。因此,简单的按比例取词频方法实际上难以体现基于词频取词的价值和优势。换言之,该方法依然未能有效划分并体现语料库中学术词汇的频率分布特征,虽然学术子词表可以按频率进行排序,但对于高频词汇来说依然缺乏明确的界定。

针对这一问题,Hyland等[9]P240提出在取词时采取“更为严格的标准,选词频率应高于所有学术词汇在语料库出现频率的平均值,”并按此标准得到192个高频学术词族。Martínez等[18]采用相同的方法得到农业研究论文语料库中的92个高频学术词族。依照该方法,IEEC语料库高频学术词汇取词标准频率应为AWL词汇形符总数(106506)÷AWL词族总数(564)=189。IEEC语料库中高于该频次的学术词族共156个,占AWL词汇形符总数的76.04%。毫无疑问,该标准下产生的词汇均应属高频词汇,但笔者认为其未能覆盖的学术词汇形符比例接近24%,从覆盖率角度来看有可能使EAP学习者忽视了一部分应该掌握但容易遗漏的词汇,最终将可能影响整体识词率最低95%,较理想98%的阅读要求[17]。

因此,该文建议在提取高频学术词汇时应兼顾频率和覆盖率两项指标,以在两者之间取得较好的平衡。如表2所示,词频数100是IEEC语料库学术词汇的一个关键临界值,低于该临界值的学术词汇覆盖率出现急剧下降。IEEC语料库中共有248个词族词频超过100,覆盖率达到学术词汇形符总数的88.19%,较平均值法提高了12个百分点,同时也将高频词族数控制在AWL总数的一半以内,大大提高了针对特定专业的学术词汇教学的可操作性。

3.3 IEEC语料库高频学术词汇分析

本文将IEEC语料库中词频高于100的248个学术词族作为研究对象,进行了更深一步的分析,旨在词频分类的基础上探索更适于EAP教学的高频学术词汇组织方式。首先,笔者对IEEC语料库子库高频学术词汇进行了统计,表3列出了各教材中平均每页出现一次以上的学术词族(按800词/页计算,篇幅所限此处列出6本教材)。

IEEC语料库整体出现频率最高的10个学术词族分别是data,compute,process,network,file,access,method,function,vary和require,与表3对比后不难发现不同课程中使用最为频繁的学术词汇既有重合的部分,也有排他的部分,例如密码学中的scheme和protocol是该课程的超高频学术词汇,但在某些课程中的使用频率却很低。这也就是说,某些学术词汇使用频数很高,但其分布并不广泛,通常只集中在少数几个子语料库当中,即前文提到的学术词汇使用频率与分布之间存在反比例关系,这些词汇往往呈现出与专业课程较强的相关性。

本研究将平均每5页出现一次以上的学术词族(频率大于1024882÷4000≈260)列为主高频学术词汇(118个),其余词族列为次高频学术词汇(130个)。与频数本身相比,该标准对EAP学习者而言更为直观。与此同时,研究将主高频学术词汇中总频数大于260,但子语料库频率达到1次/5页以上分布不足5个(分布未达到50%子库数量)的词汇单独取出,使频率与分布之间存在反比关系的专业高频学术词汇分离出来。表4列出了IEEC语料库中排在前30位的各类高频学术词汇。

如表4所示,IEEC语料库主高频跨子库通用学术词汇显示出信息工程学科的整体学术词汇特征,82个词族中与AWL子表1重合31个,与AWL子表2重合16个,与AWL子表3重合13个,其余22个则来自AWL子表4-9,其中file,random,automate和device分别来自AWL子表7、8、9,具有很强的工程学科特色,吴瑾和王同顺[11]也在JDEST语料库中发现了如transmit,detect和device等“专业特色”很强的科技英语高频学术词汇。相比之下,主高频子库核心学术词汇中与具体课程或研究方向具有较强的关联性,例如“操作系统”子库中virtual,priority,mechanism,normal,instruct,schedule等词的使用明显高于其他课程子库,而在“My SQL数据库”子库中,index,recover,option,primary,insert等词的出现则格外频繁。

主高频词汇应成为信息工程类专业本科生EAP词汇教学的重点,同时教师应有意识地将学术词汇教学与学生的专业结合起来,以提高学生学习的兴趣和实用性。以process为例,该词对学生来说并不陌生,但要全面提高专业领域内的词汇应用能力,为学生提供更多来自真实语料的词汇搭配及类联接等方面的知识无疑将提供巨大的帮助,例如programming process,recovery process,random process,risk management process,user mode process,consistency repair process和contingency planning process等都创造了富有专业特色的微语境。

此外,根据数据的统计结果,近70%的次高频学术词族只在1-2门课程中达到高于1次/5页的选词标准,分布区间较窄也成为这些词汇未能进入主高频词表的主要原因。因此,研究建议次高频学术词汇的教学也应与专业课程较好地结合起来,以实现英语学习与专业学习的相互促进。

4 结论

英语4级高频词汇 篇3

1.关注单词词汇表,鼓励学生反复研读高频词汇

新课程标准词汇表共列出了约3300个单词和360个短语或词组。这在文本的词汇教学中呈现的不到3000个,而高频运用的词汇则在2500个左右。这些高频词汇都能够在文本教材中的“Wordlist”找到其音、形、义。这样,注重教材的单词词汇积累,不仅能够有助于学生更好地理解文本内容,还能够丰富语言知识容量。

在教学中关注单词词汇表,可从如下几方面进行教学:(1)要求学生在自主阅读的基础上进行反复理解记忆,以提高记忆的有效性;(2)注重单词在文本中的运用,鼓励学生从具体语境中进行理解记忆;(3)鼓励学生利用一定的朗读时间进行反复朗读理解记忆,帮助学生增强高频词汇的记忆量。

例如,在新课程高中英语的“Reading”教学,笔者为了能够帮助学生增强对高频词汇的理解记忆,特采用了如下的教学方法:(1)要求学生从“Wordlist(by unit)”中找出与文本相对应的单词;(2)要求学生利用单词后的音标进行自我朗读和理解记忆,并进行单词记忆大比拼;(3)利用一定的时间,对学生的单词理解情况予以检测,采用单词默写竞赛的方法来进行。这样的教学模式,不仅能够有助于增强学生的单词记忆量,还能够提高他们学习英语的激情和兴趣。

2.借助单词词汇呈现工具,加深对高频词汇理解运用

外语习得理论认为,通过一定的学习呈现方式对英语素材进行学习理解,不仅能够帮助学生加深对知识的理解感悟,还能够让学生在学习的过程中能够进行灵活运用。正是基于以上的要求,笔者以为,在教学过程中,借助一定的单词词汇呈现手段和工具,不仅能够激活学生的英语学习思维和语言感知能力,还能够让学生在学习的过程中进行理解运用。

这种借助单词词汇呈现工具来帮助学生加深理解运用,主要有如下几方面:(1)运用多媒体展示,激活学生的多种学习感官,增强记忆理解的效果;(2)通过录音反复播放,刺激学生的大脑学习思维感知,促进单词词汇在大脑中的理性生成;(3)鼓励学生通过制作小卡片的形式来进行学习记忆,从而增强单词词汇的学习再现机率,提高学习效果。

例如,在进行“Reading”教学中,笔者往往根据文本的教学内容,创设一定的教学情境模式,以此来激活学生的英语学习思维和语言感知能力。像在“Home alone”的教学中,笔者通过播放影片的《小鬼当家》片段来帮助学生加深对文本的理解,要求学生在观看的过程中能够注意其中的有效词汇,特别是在文本中出现的高频词汇。在此基础上,笔者通过运用多媒体展示的方式展示如下的高频词汇:vacation,frightened,remember,Let’s go out,give sb a chance,be different from等,要求学生在文章划出,并建议学生用制作成小卡片的形式来进行理解记忆。这样,学生不仅能够掌握英语中的常用高频词汇和短语,还能够使得理解的效果更为长久。

3.利用情境实践,培养学生的高频词汇综合运用能力

新课程英语教学认为,创设一定的情境实践氛围,一方面,能够帮助学生在模拟真实的语言环境背景下,提高语言知识和技能的运用水平;另一方面,能够增强学生的语言综合运用技能,提高他们的高频词汇灵活运用程度。

这种利用情境实践,培养学生的高频词汇综合运用能力,主要表现在:(1)设置人文化的交际交流环境,让学生在语言的表达过程中感受和理解单词的使用;(2)依据英语词汇的文化特色比较英汉文化差异,导入英语思维内容,培养学生的跨文化意识,帮助其克服母语迁移心理;(3)利用学生喜欢丰富的生活形式,创设多种语言单词使用的交流活动,像英语专题讲座、演讲、辩论、英语竞赛、影视欣赏、英语小品表演等。这样的教学模式,一方面,能够使得高频词汇的运用呈现多次重复使用的现象,便于学生理解记忆;另一方面,能够拓宽学生的知识视野。

总之,新课程高中英语高频词汇积累教学,要求教师在教学的过程中,一方面,注重基本词汇的积累,丰富学生的语言知识;另一方面,注重词汇的运用,以此来不断丰富学生的知识底蕴和文化内涵,以提高他们语言综合素养。

英语4级高频词汇 篇4

Sometimes I worked with students at the intermediate level. In Canada, students at the level are youth in their preteen(青春期前的) years as well as teenagers.

When I decided to retire, I knew that the first step in the procedure was to write a letter to my employer, a school board, to resign my position. I postponed mailing the letter. I was reluctant to add the postage to the letter, knowing that once I mailed it, the decision could not be reversed.

Because I was a veteran teacher of many years, I would be eligible to receive a pension. I calculated that the revenue(收入) I would receive each month would be sufficient to sustain my current lifestyle. If I was smart about my spending habits, I might even have a surplus of money. I certainly would not need to pinch every penny. I knew the money would not come to me in the form of a cheque. Instead, it would be deposited directly into my bank account. I could withdraw cash from my investments if I needed to supplement my income, my credit rating would allow me to be eligible for a loan when some unforeseen(预料不到的) financial crisis arose. I knew, therefore, that there was no reason to panic, as my future was secure even if inflation increased or recession occurred. In either case my income would only be minus a few dollars, a fraction of the total amount.

I decided to take the plunge, but waited another fortnight before I mailed the letter. I even paused briefly with the letter part way into the mail slot(投信口) before I thrust the letter into the mailbox I knew that the simple act of mailing that letter would alter my life.

I looked for clues to determine how striking the changes in my daily life would be. How would I spend my time? In spite of having much long yearly vacation when I could pursue other interests, I had not bothered to make an earnest effort to confine my activities to one particular hobby. Would I find life as a retiree boring? What new adventures might await me? Would I use my time to volunteer at a hospital or maybe work for a local charity? Maybe I would donate(捐赠) my time and work with the Better Business Bureau. I might decide to enter local politics and for a position on town council or I could run for the position of Deputy Mayor of my town, or maybe even consider submitting my name to be a candidate in an election for member of parliament(国会). I would need to campaign and then wait to see if people would vote for me on election day at the polls.

In spite of the fact that the possibilities all had merit, I had to admit that I only had a superficial interest in pursuing any of them. In fact, I was indifferent to most of the option. Did I think they might interfere with other commitments(义务,委托) or mean I would have to cancel other appointments? Or was I just too attached to the idea of teaching, feeling that it formed part of my identity?

I examined my emotions about the new direction my life would take. Would retirement add a new dimension to my life and multiply my feelings of satisfaction or would the world apprehension(理解,领悟) be more applicable?

Did I feel guilty about not being gainfully(有利益地) employed when I was qualified and capable? As certified(被证明的) teacher, did I fell obligated to work in the field of education? Did I feel entitle to sleep in late each day, or would that bother my conscience? Would I simply grow old gracefully or would feel that ridiculous?

My instincts told me that although I would feel grateful for my good health, curiosity about other countries and lifestyles would overtake the desire to spend my time with senior citizens, playing board games, such as chess all day. Wouldn’t I rather learn about other cultures and at the same time be an ambassador for my own country?

I began to inquire about opportunities and whenever I searched the internet for jobs, I always seemed to be drawn like a magnet to the category of teaching. It did not take before I found that there were countless positions available in many countries. Amid the listings I identified several that were for teaching positions in China.

I decided that I would communicate with some of the people offering these positions. I sent e-mails and made phone calls to several prospective(可能的，未来的) employers. The feedback that I got from most of them was that they expected me to bring all the resources necessary. How could I pack enough in my baggage to provide what was needed? I was inclined to look for a situation where books were provided. I wanted to sign a contract for only one semester but found that most positions were for one or two years. I could sympathize with the amount of paperwork needed to arrange for a person to accept one of those positions and realized that it was wiser for people to spend a year or two in one location. I attended seminars by companies trying to recruit teachers. I found several companies that captured my interest.

I began to reviews my options. I asked specific questions about the positions with the companies that sincerely interested me. I inquired about how many suitcases I would be allowed to bring and what the living accommodations would be. It was refreshing to realize that there was a big demand for people who could teach English. Several positions seemed superior in their benefits and they sparked my interest even more. I especially wanted to teach students at the secondary or high school level rather than middle school.

I could hardly believe that I was contemplating(盘算,思量) doing this at this stage of my life. At times I felt that it was a radical idea but I also realized that I had always had the desire to have this kind of experience but circumstances never seemed quite right. Now they were. I decided to proceed.

I made an oral agreement with a company. I read their written contracts, clause by clause, to be sure nothing had been omitted from the oral agreement. In spite of wanting the clause about staying two years to be deleted, I signed the legal contract after a few minor changes were made and initialed in the margin.

There were many details to consider. After choosing the company that I wanted to work for, I still had to take a long solemn look at my circumstances. I decided that I would sell my car, put my personal belongings in storage and rent my house. A lot of time and effort was required to make all the arrangements I decided to tackle(解决) one aspect at a time.

The first thing I targeted was to sell my car. As a matter to principle, I felt that the value of the car would depreciate(贬值,跌价) over the time I was out of the country. The sensible strategy was to sell it. Fortunately, my niece wanted to buy the car.

I made a list of thing to take with me. I was advised to take auxiliary lighting. I packed battery-operated flash lights to be used in case of power failure. I included a waterproof jacket in case I needed to walk to school in the rain.

I needed to sort my belongings. I had to decide what to save and what to pitch out. For example, I decided I no longer needed my typewriter, as I only used my computer for word processing now, so I decided to give it away.

I made many lists and developed a code as a way to catalogue my possessions. As I packed items in cardboard boxes, I made a list regarding the contents on the outside of each box. I packed dished in towels to protect them. Many times I had to undo a box because I forgot to list the contents. When I finally snapped the lid of a box shut, I sealed it with transparent tape and checked to be sure that it would not loosen. I also included another tag, which gave each box a number because all cardboard boxes look identical. I was careful not to abbreviate(缩写) the names of items in the lists lest that would mislead me as to the contents. I continued with this method, which also created and organize things. I remarked many times during this phase of my preparations that I had not realized I had so much gear.

At times I had to laugh at myself. My activities seemed like they would make a good script for a comedy. Maybe I should write a play about what I was doing and copyright it. It certainly would be good for a few scenes on a soap opera.

On the spur of the moment I decided to loan my sofa and my rug to my niece who was moving to a larger home. That would mean a few less things to put into storage.

I fulfilled my obligation to provide proof of good health. I had a chest x-ray taken. I had a complete physical examination. I had a dental check up. Because my health report all indicated I was in excellent health, all of the health care professionals I visited encouraged me to pursue my adventure.

I renewed my passport, my proof of identity as a Canadian citizen. I knew that once I arrived in China I would also be registered with the Canadian Embassy.

My family’s reaction when I told them about my plans was as I expected. Although they sanctioned my idea and supported me in the endeavour(尽力,努力), they were sad to think that I would be half way across the world for such a long time. The frown on my grandson’s face told me that he might feel neglected by me.

Although I could scarcely argue with the comments of my family about their feelings, for their sake I talked about the time away from home as if it was just a few short days. I would be back home before they knew it. They suggested that I come back after one year for the summer and then return for the second year. I agreed to this plan.

Five years ago, would I have although that this was in the realm of possibility? I doubt that I would have. But here I am in China, in my second year of living in this amazingly progressive civilization, and I can honestly say that I have never once regretted my decision to teach in China. I must also admit that I have learned far more from my students than they have learned from me. I admire their thirst for knowledge and they seem to thrive on challengers. They never seem tempted to take a short cut, always working hard and giving a supreme effort. Their tolerance for there English teacher’s lack of familiarity with Chinese customs has been appreciated. They always are positive in their attitudes toward me and have helped me whenever they could. At times they have insisted on doing things for me that I was capable of doing myself. One student in particular always takes on the job of carrying my packages, saving that it is his pleasure to be my porter.

When I started to plan this adventure I had only a vague idea of what the country of China would be like. I could recognize their flag but was not even familiar with their national anthem(国歌). My comprehension of the customs of the country was very limited. I felt almost ashamed at how little I knew. I did not know if they used the metric or the imperial(英制的) system of measurement. Would I buy fluids such as milk and soda in quarts or litres? Would I need to learn the Chinese word for gram or for inch? Indeed I had never heard the word ‘jin’ before.

I knew little about the food I would be eating. Would dairy products such as skim milk and cheese and yoghurt(酸酪) be available? Would I eat only rice and noodles or would the variety if foods be endless? Maybe I would be enjoying a rack of lean pork ribs as a delicious treat.

I was unaware that there were so many dialects in the Chinese language. I had no idea how I would communicate but when I arrived in China, I soon found myself having a limited dialogue with Chinese people. They would try to speak a few words of English and I would attempt a few word in Chinese. However, I resorted to sign language more than word.
