Death Penalty
Current research shows even though the death penalty is a option in many countries, many people believe that capital punishment may lead to miscarriages of justice, or that it violates the criminal’ right to life; therefore, the US government and the United Nation needs to explorer other options to punish there convicts. Death penalty or capital punishment is the execution of a convicted criminal by the state as punishment for capital crimes or capital offences (Death Penalty 1).
The use of formal execution extends at least to the beginning of recorded history. Historically, the execution of criminals and political opponents was used by nearly all societies both to punish crime and to suppress political dissent. The Pentateuch (Old Testament) lays down the death penalty for murder, kidnapping, magic, violation of the Sabbath, blasphemy, and a wide range of sexual crimes, although evidence suggests that actual executions were rare. In medieval and early modern Europe, before the development of modern prison systems, the death penalty was also used as a generalized form of punishment. For example, in 1700s Britain, there were 222 crimes which were punishable by death, including crimes such as cutting down a tree or stealing an animal (The bible and the death penalty 1). The methods were used before could be very brutal, historically the methods were used by families or tribes includes crushing by a weight, abruptly or as a slow ordeal, burning, especially for religious heretics and witches on the stake, Slow slicing, Snake pit (methods list 1).

Among democratic countries around the work, most European (all of the European Union), Latin American, and many Pacific Area states (including Australia, New Zealand and Timor Leste) have abolished capital punishment, while the United States, Guatemala, and most of the Caribbean as well as some democracies in Asia and Africa retain it. Among none democratic countries, the use of the death penalty is common but not universal (Death Penalty 2). There is no rhyme or reason to there difference.
Canada is one of the countries that have banned death penalty. The only method used in Canada was hanging. In 1998, Parliament removed the death penalty for National Defense crimes. Canada banned the death penalty because of fears about wrongful convictions, concerns about the state taking the lives of indivials, and uncertainty about the death penalty's role as a deterrent for crime (CP in Canada 1). The death penalty has been abolished in almost all European countries. Only in Belarus and Kazakhstan (a little part of Kazakhstan is part of Europe) is it still practiced - this being one reason for which Belarus has been refused membership in the Council of Europe. In Albania it is
still in force for crimes committed in war time, Russia maintains it for ordinary crimes also.. Latvia maintains it for crimes committed in war time but is a member of the EU. The United Kingdom retained the death penalty for high treason until 1998 (CP in Europe
Compared to other developed countries, death penalty is carried out very quickly in China. Usually the time from trial to execution is less than one year and sometimes only months. China also has one unique kind of sentence, "death sentence with
Yuan 3
two years' probation". This sentence is generally reced to life imprisonment after two years. China currently uses two methods of execution. The most common is execution by firearms, which uses an assault rifle to fire a single shot of a hollow point bullet designed to expand upon impact, resulting in the disintegration of the upper portion of the brain. Lethal injection was introced in 1997. As lethal injection becomes more common, debate has intensified over the fairness of relying on lethal injection to execute high officials convicted of corruption while ordinary criminals get executed by firearms. It is public opinion in China that lethal injection is an easier way for the condemned to die. In the past the government collected a "bullet fee" from the relatives of the condemned (CP in China PR 1).
Capital punishment in the United States is officially sanctioned by 38 of the 50 states, as well as by the federal government and the military. The overwhelming majority of executions are performed by the states, the federal government maintains the right to use capital punishment but does so relatively infrequently. Each state practicing capital punishment has different laws regarding its methods, age limits, and crimes which qualify (CP in Unite State 1).
The state of Texas has performed more executions than any other state. Right now lethal injection is the method allowed in 37 of the 38 states which allow the death penalty and by the federal government. Nebraska requires electrocution. Other states also allow electrocution, gas chambers, hanging and the firing squad. From 1976 to June 30, 2006, out of 1,029 executions: 861 have been by lethal injection, 152 by electrocution, 11 by gas chamber, 3 by hanging, and 2 by firing squad (Life and Death Decisions 1).

A Gallup International poll from 2000 found that "Worldwide support was expressed in favour of the death penalty, with just more than half (52%) indicating that they were in favour of this form of punishment." A break down of the numbers of support versus opposition: Worldwide 52%/39%, North America 66%/27%, Asia 63%/21%, Central and Eastern Europe 60%/29%, Africa 54%/43%, Latin America 37%/55%, Western Europe 34%/60%( CP in Unite State 2). In the U.S, surveys have shown a majority in favor of capital punishment. An ABC Nsws survey in July 2006 found 65 percent in favor of capital punishment, consistent with other polling since 2000. About half the American public says the death penalty is not imposed frequently enough and 60 percent believe it is applied fairly, according to a Gallup poll in May 2006. Yet surveys also show the public is more divided when asked to choose between the death penalty and life without parole, or when dealing with juvenile offenders. Roughly six in 10 tell Gallup they do not believe capital punishment deters murder and majorities believe at least one innocent person has been executed in the past five years(CP in Unite State 3).
Religions are often based on a body of teachings and scripture that be interpreted as either favouring or repudiating the death penalty. Some denominations, such as Judaism and the Roman Catholic Church, teach that while the death penalty is hypothetically permissible in certain circumstances, it should be abolished in the modern world. In the past, some religions either sentenced men to death for failing to convert or actually converting. Even now, according to Afghan religious law, a Muslim could be
sentenced to death for conversion to Christianity. The relationship between religion and
Yuan 5
the death penalty is further complicated by the fact that it is common for the followers of a religion to disagree with its official teachings on the subject.
Forensic scientists can use DNA in blood, semen, skin, saliva or hair at a crime scene to identify a perpetrator. This process is called genetic fingerprinting. In February 12, 2001 Earl Washington Jr. walked out of prison Monday after spending 9 1/2 years on death row for a murder he didn't commit. Largely illiterate and with an IQ of 69, Washington confessed to the 1982 rape and slaying of Rebecca Lynn Williams even though no fingerprints or biological evidence tied him to the crime. However, DNA tests showed he was wrongly convicted. He was moved off death row in 1994 after his sentence was commuted to life. "It made me happy," Washington said in an interview Friday. Gilmore "did a good job by my book (qdt Barisic 1)." "Just because Earl Washington worked his way through the system, that doesn't mean that the system always works for somebody like Earl Washington (qdt Barisic 2)," said Stolle, Republican.
There are several implications for further research. DNA tests are needed on every crime case to avoid false execution. The Unite Nation needs to develop less painful or more humane executions. Therefore electrocution and the gas chamber and lethal injection, which were introced as more humane alternatives to hanging, should be banned, which in turn has been criticized as being too painful. Life imprisonment is an option for serious crime because it does not violates the criminal’s right to life. If death
Yuan 6
penalty is not abolished in all countries there could be thousands of innocent lives are taken away, that is why the U.N. needs to step up and come up with some new ideas.

⑶ 我报了英语口语考试,但听英语老师说很多大学都不需要,于是我就没有去考,但很多同学又说需要,唉,反正
其实,我觉得能多学习一点,干嘛不多学习一点呢,对于教育的投资也是一种财富,我分享一些好用的英语口语学习方法,希望能对你有所帮助。
语气语调是我们关注不够的部分。大家是否发现,你听到一个亚洲人说英语的语气语调,基本能判断出这个人是否是中国人。咱们中国人说英语的语气语调是很相似的。整体来说比较平,没有太多的起伏和语气。或者就是有语气和起伏,不过是在错误的地方,比较奇怪的语气和起伏。很多人说英语不像是在说话,像是在念八股文。在练习语音方面,我见过一些同学,不太重视发音,经常会按自己的喜好去读英语。比如确定一个单词的发音,他会在不同的地方都重读一下,然后觉得哪个读着比较顺,就决定采用哪种发音。这样做的结果是,很多时候我们说出来的话别人听不懂。在中国学英语,是有人做到发音准确到听起来像英语为母语的国家的人一样,不过这需要很长时间持续的练习才有可能。而如果我们本身说汉语如果有一些方言习惯的话,会影响我们英语的发音。比如湖南湖北同学,可能会在L,N的发音上会遇到困难。我的一个同事,是湖北人。前些天跟我说一个地名,叫南星仓,他说的是LanXinChang.还有比方说牛奶,有人可能会说成LiuLai(这时候举这个词,会不会让大家敏感)。于是,说英语是也会出现类似的情况。比如I
know,会被一些同学发成I
low.东北同学在z,c,s和chishi上也许会混淆。比如说我祖籍是辽宁。我爸说的是东北话。有一次问他中午吃的什么,他说包子(BaoZhi)。问他买了几个,他说10个(SiGe),问他吃了几个,他说4个(ShiGe)。平舌翘舌全都反过来说了。英语类似的发音也就会遇有麻烦,比如pencilbox.那我们到底语音应该练到何种程度呢?看一下新托福考试的一个评分标准,我觉得这应该是我们平时练语音把握的基本原则:我们理解不同国家的人的发音会带有一定的口音,但这不会成为扣分的标准;不过如果发音错误,从而影响了对于词义的理解,就会被扣分。大家应该把握住:我们说出的话的基本原则是能让别人听懂。大家说的内容其实是核心。说的有内容,发音稍有瑕疵,好过于发音完美,但内容空洞无味。所以发音的练习更多的时候应该是在我们不断充实自己的语言内容和实力时同步进行的,而不一定非得专门抽出一段时间,就只练习语音。
怎样快速提高英语口语水平
语法和语感。大家会发现,在语法问题上,咱们中国人学英语口语,和外国人学汉语口语有很大差异。我们会更用心去抠每个句子构成成分和其中的语法现象。而外国人学中文就是一句一句学,硬把它记下来,学了就想办法不断把它用出去。这也就是为什么很多外国人来中国,半年一年中文就挺流利,能够做到基本的汉语交流了。而我们的英语,在学校学了那么多年,似乎进步依旧缓慢。那是因为我们在学英语时,由于过分强调学习的过程,过于把它当作一门学问科学来对待,而严重忽略了语言的本质,也就是它的使用过程,交流目的。记住:Language
is mainly for you touse,not just to
study!最重要的就是别太死抠,别钻牛角尖。我们大多数学英语的人都不是在搞语言学的研究。所以,要有现学现卖的精神,更要有为用而学的态度。
语法的高境界就是形成了语感。不用再把句子拆的支离破碎,也不会在说的时候一个词一个词的往外挤,而是对语言产生了感觉,自然就能以词组或句子的形式表达。怎么做到的。就是古人说的熟读唐诗三百首的道理。没做到不是因为我们笨笨笨,是因为我们懒懒懒。形成语感最好的方法就是大量朗读加阅读。扪心自问,学了这么多年英语,咱能说的地道的英语句子有几句,我是说内容发音语气语调都地道的。难道永远停留在:How
are you?Fine,thank you.And you?I am fine
too的阶段吗?就连这个阶段,我们很多人也还没有把这句话的音发正确呢。不信,你读读试试!注意自己发how,thank,and you,fine这几个词。
怎样快速提高英语口语水平
再来看语境。也就是说一句话时的Situation.回想当年我学英语时,老师教给我们如何造句。不过我觉得很多例子并不有趣,还有些可能我们用不上。比如:我推开门,看到门后有一碗面。虽然无趣,但是我们却可以由此衍生出很多我们感兴趣的并实用的。所以,大家练口语时,最好从一开始就形成画面感,说一句话的时候,脑中闪现的不应该是某个单词的拼写,而应该是一个situation,一个picture.不断这样重复,才能在下次出现同样的situation或picture时,脱口而出我们想表达的内容。我来举个例子,告诉大家这种感觉吧。其实简单说,就是我们要不断设置场景,做替换练习。能够举一反三,会说一句,就会说30句。How's
your interview(coming
along)?当大家看到这句话的时候,会产生什么场景画面呢?应该是一个人问另一个人面试的情况吧。但你绝不应该仅停留在它当时出现的场景,应该跳出来想,这个句子我还可能用在哪儿。比如:你的考试情况如何?你的跳舞课上的如何?上学那会儿,老师也会让我们做替换练习,但我们只停留在造一个正确的句子上。并没有真正想想,我生活中能用上这个句型的场景和画面是什么。然后做一个role
play,也就是自我假设情境练习两遍,声情并茂的把这句话说出去。
⑷ 我英语考试能考高分,一般都考第一,可是我的口语非常差,我发觉自己真的讲不出几句来!
无非是多说多练多听啦~~~
⑸ 我的英语成绩很差,我能参加高考英语口语考试吗
口语很简单,基本参加就能过,只是个形式
⑹ 我英语考试考的很好,可是口语不好,见到外国人就不会说话了,我每天都在听英语可是就是说不出去,我该如
这么说来你的弱点是发音喽,要是这么说的话除了多加练习发音没有别的办法,还有就是提升胆气,我见了外人也说不出来话,还有就是听英语的时候跟着读,跟着念,注重把声音发出来,你可以试试这种方法。
⑺ 我想报名参加PETS三级的考试,听说要考笔试和口试,但是我英语口语很差,这个口试是怎么考的啊要怎么
公共英语三级(PETS3)口语考试分、B、C三节,测试考生用英语进行口头的能力。
每次口试采取两名口试教师和两名考生的形式。一名口试教师不参与交谈,专事评分;另一名主持口试,随时与考生交谈并评分。专事评分的教师所给分数的权重占考生口试成绩的三分之二,主持口试的教师所给分数的权重占考生口试成绩的三分之一。
A节:考查考生提供个人信息、回答有关他们日常生活、家乡、家庭、工作、学习等问题的能力。该节约需3分钟时间。
B节:考查考生就信息卡上的图
片或文字讨论有关问题的能力。该节约需3分钟时间。
C节:要求考生就信息卡上的图片或文字作简短描述,之后另一考生就同一话题阐述个人观点。该节约需4分钟时间。
进入考场的时候,记住一定不要紧张,要面带微笑。应平静地坐在口试教师示意你坐的地方,坐下的时候要自然,坐姿要端正。坐下后,考官会跟你说如下三句话: Could you pass me your mark sheet please? (麻烦你递给我你的记分卡?) May Ihave your name? (我能知道你的名字吗?) My name
is…, and this is… she/he will
onlylisten to us. (我是……,这位是……,他/她只负责听我们说话。)三句话次序可能会颠倒,但不妨碍大家听懂意思。你须将口试计分卡交给专事评分的老师,然后老师会确认一下计分卡上的信息。随后口试考试正式开始。
口试过程中
(1)与口试教师或同伴对话时要保持目光接触,保持自然恰当的表情、手势和形体动作。
(2)作为考生,你应该积极主动,多讲话,切忌一语不发地等着,问一句才答一句(当然也不要说起来没完没了)。对于一般疑问句的问题不要只答“Yes”、“No”,要把句子说完整,把一般疑问句改换成肯定句式,并适当加以简要的解释,不一定非要等到口试教师追问“why”时,再说话。
(3)在Part B部分要特别注意两点:
一:是口试教师是不参与讨论的,互动交际在你和另一位考生之间进行,你应该与他/她互相问答、讨论和交换看法,说话的时候应该面对的是他/她而不是口试教师;
二:是你和另一位考生都是来参加考试的,在讨论发言中应保持基本的机会均等。由于是临时组成的搭档,你与对方的英语水平可能会不同,如果他/她为了显示自己的水平、获得高分而不停地说,你可以寻找机会,使用得体的交际语言打断同伴的发言,如“I’m sorry,but I have
tointerrupt” “Excuse me,I have
to stop you” “Sorry,Ithink.。。”。当然,如果你的同伴比较沉默,你可以用某些特定的语句启发你的同伴开口发言,这样才是良好的交流。这类语句有
“This ismy point of view.What do you think” “Do you agree with me” “That’s mypoint.What’s your opinion”等。
(4)考试中应选择自己熟悉的东西或事情来说,否则可能会由于缺乏恰当的词汇而给自己造成麻烦。比如说如果需要回答或描述电视节目或者体育运动方面的问题或图片,选择一种比较容易表述的电视节目或体育运动要比选择你真正喜欢而描述难度比较大的节目或运动现实得多。
(5)回答问题或描述图片内容时要切题,不要说与题目内容无关、意义不大的话。
(6)考试过程当中,面部表情要与口中所说的内容相符合,该严肃的时候严肃、该活泼的时候活泼,否则就会很生硬。口试结束之后 口试结束后,你应当用英语分别向两位口试教师道谢和告别,给他们留下一个完整的好印象。
考试之前最好买点复习资料,在家多练练,我上次考的时候用的就是未来教育的《口试30天轻松过关》,还挺好的,我同学准备下半年考,他用的是人邮社的《三级口试真题题库》,说也挺好的,你可以借鉴借鉴。
⑻ 你如何看待英语考试很厉害但口语很差的人
其实这不怨老师教授知识的能力不行,口语都是自己在日常生活中自己锻炼的,如果不是因为自己懒绝对不可能是这样的。
⑼ 英语口语不好,考研复试的时候是不是会没有优势啊。我备考法硕,感觉英语过线问题不大,但是复试的口语是
英语口语这个问题,第一看老师,有的老师喜欢英语好的学生。第二,复试的时候测试英语什么的表现好的复试会有高分。口语差,其实不是说不能提高,只是用的少,听得少罢了。我有一个师兄跟我说过他的情况,他当时认为的和你的是一样的,觉得自己口语不好,初试过后,赶紧报了一个凯程考研的复试辅导班。针对报考学校的复试形式,集中突破。效果很明显,师兄当时复试过后,总排名比初试的排名还上升了几名。
⑽ 我是英语专业大三学生,想考研,但是英语口语比较差,英语成绩也不算很好,能否考上英语专业研究生
那就要看你考哪了,考本校来说因该不难,口语这个东西需要练得,谁也内没有一开始就好的,最重要容的是敢说,慢慢有感觉了,就好了,只要你肯努力,相信就会可以,但是我觉得只学语言并不怎么太好,如果要是还有一些其他的优势就更好了,比如说会计了。。。这只是个人想法,,,
