求职英语:轻松进外企 17谈论业余时间(在线收听

Tina:How do youspendyour free time?

Shen Shuo:I read or go swimming, go shopping, usually. I run or play tennis or do something else like those to get some exercises to keep fit.

Tina:Are you introverted or extroverted?

Shen Shuo:I wouldn't call myself extroverted. Sometimes, I enjoy being by myself very much. But other times, I like sharing activities with others too, especially during these last few years.

Tina:What kinds of sports do you like?

Shen Shuo:I like almost all sports, and I enjoy both playing and watching. I especially like tennis and mountain climbing.

Tina:What kind of personality do you think you have?

Shen Shuo:Well, I approach things very enthusiastically, I think, and I don't like to leave something half-done. It makes me nervous—I can't concentrate on something else until the first thing is finished.

蒂娜:你如何打发你的业余时间?

沈硕:我通常是读书,或者是去游泳、逛街。我利用跑步、打网球之类的运动来保持健康。

蒂娜:你属于内向型还是外向型?

沈硕:我不认为我自己属于内向型。有时我喜欢独自一个人。但是其他时候,我会花许多时间和大家一起参加活动,尤其是近年来。

蒂娜:你喜欢什么样的活动?

沈硕:我喜欢几乎所有的运动。我不仅喜欢自己运动也喜欢观赏运动。我特别喜欢网球和登山。

蒂娜:你认为你有什么样的性格特点?

沈硕:嗯,我总是很热情地完成事情。我不喜欢做事虎头蛇尾,那样会使我紧张。在第一件事完成后,我才能集中精力做其他的事。

重点讲解:

spend 花费(时间、金钱等)

例句:I will spend two hours doing my homework today. 我今天要花2个小时做作业。

相关表达:

spend(花钱+on、花时间+in)

1. sb. spend some money on sth.

e.g. I spend 1 yuan on the pen.

2. sb. spend some time in doing sth.

e.g. He spends two hours in finishing his homework.

3. sb. spend some time in (doing) sth.(重点)

e.g. Though I spend much time in math, I still got "c" for it.

(误区:一般人认为表sth.的"math"前应加on,但是这里是把math前的动词省略的缘故造成的误区。判断方法:表花时间做某事用in,花钱买某物就用on,这个应该很快就能判断出来了,就不会造成误选,这是考试最常考到的,要注意啊)

cost(+to do)

1. sth. cost sb..(宾语形式) some money.(花钱买某物)

e.g.This book cost me 10 dollars.

2. It cost sb.(宾语形式) some time to do sth.(花时间做某事)

e.g. It cost me 2 hours to finish the homework.

pay(+for)

sb. pay some money for sth.(某人花钱买某物)
