有的同學(xué)提出了關(guān)于生詞，希望給出音標(biāo)的問(wèn)題，首先由于部分音標(biāo)的字母不方便輸入，因此大家自己打開(kāi)類(lèi)似金山詞霸的軟件，這樣通過(guò)移動(dòng)光標(biāo)來(lái)識(shí)別讀音；也可通過(guò)大耳朵首頁(yè)的大耳朵即時(shí)發(fā)音工具來(lái)獲得讀音；其次，打開(kāi)金山詞霸或是有時(shí)間的話(huà)翻翻字典來(lái)詳細(xì)學(xué)習(xí)一下每個(gè)生詞，這樣會(huì)更加深印象。希望大家能夠找到適合自己的學(xué)習(xí)辦法！

For the last 20 years, I've worked as a arbitrator of disputes involving land. Arbitration is an arduous process that requires patience. Both parties in a dispute are typically ardent about their opinions. It's this state of ardor that makes it difficult to approach a satisfactory solution. Fortunately, I have the aptitude for understand's people's needs and finding an appropriate solution that satisfies the approximate requirements of both sides.
The parties who approve me to judge their case know that I'm apt to make a fair and reasonable decision, not an arbitray one. This knowledge tends to lower the apprehension of both parties. I find that if the parties are less apprehensive, they are more cooperative. But no case is easy. There's always a sticking point.
Presently, I'm working on a dispute between an old farmer and the government. The old farmer owns a piece of arable land on which he has grown fruit trees for 25 years. He wants to keep his land just as it is, not only because of his trees , but also due to the arboreal life it supports. The government believes that the old man's farming methods are archaic and not a productive use of the land. They want approval to use farmer's land to build a huge high-tech public aquarium. They want to display unique aquatic creatures to help educate the public. The government plans to make this project the archetype for all future public aquariums.
Well, it's going to be a tough case. In fact, it may be my toughest case yet.
