A The Speech of the Presider
The presiding over meetings is one of the communicative activities at international academic conferences. In the simulated international academic conference, special attention should be paid to the training of the students in this aspect. Specifically, we have introduced to the students the basic requirements and major responsibilities of the presider of a conference, for example, to learn about the overall procedures, to familiarize them with the order of presentation—the names, nationalities, and subjects of the speakers, to inquire about the speaker’s information, major points of the introduction, signals of the time control, etc.
B Conference
Conference is a kind of formal meeting, often lasting for a few days. It is organized on a particular subject to bring together people who have a common interest. At a conference, formal discussions usually take place. Comparatively, conference generally refers to a specialized professional or academic event. We can say, for example, "Mr. Smith attended a conference on environmental protection in Beijing last week".
C Barcelona
The first thing that strikes you about Barcelona is its extraordinary architectural beauty. Just to discover the narrow, twisting streets and hidden squares of the old quarters is worth a trip in itself. A good way to get an initial idea of the city’s character is to take a leisurely walk along Las Ramblas, a series of five short streets connecting the port area with the town. It’s best during the early evening when it’s filled with young people out for a promenade. Exchanging greetings and flirting mildly, they stroll up and down for hours, pausing occasionally at an outdoor cafe for a gossip. Predictably enough, the city’s red light area occupies the lower end near the port, and is best avoided after dark.
D Protection Versus Development
It is quite incredible to see the speed with which a wild, unspoiled beauty spot can be transformed into a commercial eyesore. Look at the map of the world’s tourist destinations today, and think back to those same places only a few years ago, and you’ll see what I mean. Of course, I’m a bit of a hypocrite about this. I want to be able to visit those natural paradises and, I have to admit, find somewhere to sleep and something to eat and drink once I’ve got there. What I don’t want is for anyone else to be able to do the same, or at least not in enough numbers to change the place. So if you wish to accuse me of individualistic elitism, go ahead. I don’t mean to be selfish, but I can’t bear the idea of another concrete monstrosity taking over from nature, of recorded pop music replacing the natural sounds of the mountains, of ice-cream and silly T-shirts being pushed at me when all I want is to enjoy the non-man-made world. I suppose the answer to this dilemma is careful, limited development, but experience seems to show that stopping the forces of commercialization is more difficult than preserving the environment for future generations.
E Protection
Protectionism appears to be a part of human nature, like the instinct for survival, we automatically try to protect what is ours, be it our family, our culture, our livelihood, our country, our wealth or anything else we call "ours". It has been fashionable to talk about protectionism in economic terms ever since the reconstruction and development after the Second World War, but this is merely jargon for a well-known human characteristic. In economics, the term is often used in a negative way—one country accuses another of " protectionist" practices that prevent the first country from freely selling its goods to the second, but it can be a negative idea in other contexts, too.
In many parts of the world, a village, region or cultural group has refused development because it wants to protect its people, resources, way of life etc. from outside influences, from being "spoiled". In many cases, this has led not to the preservation of something worthwhile, but to the decline of what was to be protected. A concrete example of this can be seen in the number of rural villages in Europe that are disappearing, not because they have been developed out of existence, but because the young people have left in search of education, work and other opportunities and the old people are left to die in the life and surroundings that were " protected" from the encroachments of the modern world.
We should protect our way of life.
