The English language can be traced back to prehistoric
Indo-European through the West Germanic line. However, many other influences have shaped the development of Modern English. We will review some important dates in the history of the English language. The first three are Latin influences:
1. In 5,5 B.C. Caesar conquered Britain and the Celtic people.
2. In 4
3. B.C. Rome colonized the island.
3. The Romans remained for 400 years (the first four centuries of the Christian Era).
The next significant dates were:
4. The year 499 (which was the year of the Anglo-Saxon conquest of the island).
5. From 500 on, the West Germanic language was the basic language of Britain (or England).
Influences from other languages continued however.2020年12月四级啥时间出成绩
6. In the sixth and venth centuries England was Christianized by
missionaries nt by the Pope (so that Latin influence continued). Then,
7. In the eig11th and ninth centuries the Normen (Vikings), invaded England with their Old Nor language.
8. In 1066. the Norman Conquest brought French linguistic influence.
9. The French influence continued for 300 years (the ninth century through the 11th century).
10. And finally, in the fifteen and sixteen hundreds, when classical learning was revived, there was continued Latin language influence. Audioscript:
traceback1. People are delighted if you can speak their language, and they

don't care how well you speak it. They are not upt when you make mistakes. I think in order to learn, you mustn't be afraid of making mistakes.icu是什么意思
2. I'm a very shy person and it's not easy for me to talk to strangers. But you have to force yourlf to talk to people. That's what I did and it really helped me.
3. I think the best language learners are people with a n of humor. Try to laugh at your own mistakes and don't take yourlf too riously. You'll find that other people will be sympathetic when you make mistakes.
4. I took two cours in business studies. I read, studied, listened to
lectures and took notes in English. It was a very good experience for me becau I didn't have time to think about the language. I recommend forgetting about the grammar and thinking about the meaning instead.
5. In my experience, learning a foreign language always involves a lot of time, a lot of boring work and lots of problems! In short, if you want to learn another language you have to work hard.
6. Try to read as much as you can. I think that's the best way to improve your English and to learn m
ore new words. I always try to read something in English everyday.
Part II Skills to communicate bad
news
Audioscript:
Avi Arditti：I'm Avi Arditti with Rosanne Skirble, and this week on Wordmaster: giving doctors better skills to communicate
bad news.corn
Rosanne Skirble：Anthony Back is a medical oncologist at the University of Washington and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer
Rearch Center in Seattle. He and four colleagues are in
the fifth year leading a program funded with one and
one-half million dollars from the National Cancer Institute. Avi Arditti：Doctor Back says specially trai
ned actors play cancer patients to help oncologists learn how to avoid sounding
bukkakeinnsitive when the prognosis is grim.
Anthony Back：Probably the biggest misconception I face is that you're either born with this or you're not. In fact, what the
rearch shows is that people learn to do this over time.
And the way they learn to do it is they e good role models,
they practice, they get specific feedback on what they're
doing, they try-out new things, they innovate and develop
new conversational practices for themlves.
Avi Arditti：Can you give us some examples of tho conversational practices -- what are some ways to impart bad news? Anthony Back：Here's an example: The patient has had cancer in the past, has been doing well and is coming in for some routine
follow-up tests. The routine follow-up tests unexpectedly
show the cancer has started to come back.
The doctor will typically go in and say to the patient,
"Guess what, your cancer's back." And the patient will be
恋夏500just blown away, right? There are a couple of practices
there that doctors can do that can help. One is to start with
-- especially if you don't know the patient -- asking what the
patient expected, what did they understand about their
cancer, what were they expecting with this test. Becau if
the patient says to you "You know, they didn't tell me
anything. I'm just here becau I got this appointment in theinterrelationship

mail," that's one whole kind of comprehension level.
Whereas if the patient says "I had a Tl Nl MO lung cancer
and they told me I had a fifty-five percent chance of dia
recurrence in the next two years," that's a whole different
story, right?
The cond thing is that after you give this difficult news,
then I think it's really important to address both the
cognitive reaction and also the kind of the emotional side of
it.
Rosanne Skirble：What are some of the phras or the ways in which you can couch this news?
Anthony Back：You know, the way to make it easier is to make sure that you are going from the context the patient drew for you.
So you go from what the patient understands and you try to
