选项

答案 [1]The result of the survey shows that more than half students disagree to some extent that native speakers make the best teachers in teaching English. [2]I strongly agree with them. [3]Students generally seek native teachers while learning English, but it does not necessarily mean they teach better. There are thousands of excellent non-native teachers who do a great job in teaching English. [4]There is no denying that native speakers have a natural advantage in teaching cultural issues and conversation. However, Foreign Language Teaching needs much more skills than that. [5]Since native speaker teachers have not gone through the process of learning English as a second or foreign language, they do not normally understand why learners have difficulties in understanding certain aspects of the language. [6]A non-native teacher usually knows better how to deal with their students’ learning problems and thus can provide useful suggestions in learning. [7]To sum up, I don’t think that a native English speaker can be a better teacher just because he/she speaks English. [8]Being a native speaker of the target language has its advantages. [9]However, this alone is not sufficient enough to make a good second/foreign language teacher.

解析 [1]开门见山,指出调查结果显示有一半以上的学生认为说本族语的人不一定是最好的老师。
[2]作者用strongly agree with表示完全赞同。
[3]用not necessarily说明任何事情都不是绝对的。不少非本族语的老师也是很优秀的。
[4]There is no denying that固定句型,意为“无可否认”,说明事实。
[5]go through意为“经过,经历”。此句为复合句。
[6]a non-native teacher意为“(英语为)非本族语的老师”。他们更了解学习者在外语学习中遇到的问题,因而能提供比较有用的建议。
[7]to sum up用于总结的常用短语。副词just使用恰到好处。
[8]target language这里指英语。
[9]sufficient enough是语言亮点。
