全国工程硕士专业学位教育的发展对工程硕士研究生英语教学提出了新的要求。2006年修订的《全国工程硕士专业学位研究生英语教学要求》明确指出,工程硕士英语教学应兼顾工程硕士的实际需求和特殊的外语要求,应以英语的运用能力培养为主,应该将教学的重点由英语语言知识的培养转到英语技能的培养,特别是表达能力的培养。以此精神为指导,我们组织了一批长期从事工程硕士研究生英语教学,且教学经验丰富、教学效果良好的骨干教师,为工程硕士研究生英语教学编写了这本《工程硕士研究生实用英语教程》。

This is the second for/nal interview I have been through in my 1ife.The interview itself was not So grilling as the time I had to wait for it.Because export and import has been something really interesting to me,1 was really excited about the prospect of work-ing in this shipping agency.I had been reading the background information all the past week for the interview.
It was last Tuesday that I got the phone call from the human resource department of the company,while 1 was working as a translator in Plymouth for Devon Court.My friends mother advised me to call them right away to confirm my availability that very afternoon.But 1 was knackered after interpreting the intensive two hour meeting be-tween a solicitor and her client.
That evening I printed all the shipping terms and arranged all the key aspects about UK custom clearance that I 1earnt during the past few months.Because I couldn’t drive yet,I printed the bus timetable and route to the nearest stop to the company.It turned out that I had to get to the stop two hours before the interview,since the bus only de-parted every two hours and this was the frustrating bit.
It was frustrating because in England the bus rate was quite dear,and secondly it didn’t get you anywhere even if you had chosen to take it.I had to walk fifty minutes from the bus stop to the company on a busy road.Often I had to squeeze myself to the very edge of the road in order to let those heavy-duty lorries pass by.It was a night-marP.
