前言

　　About the Program　　Talk It Up！ is a complete text for the oral communication classroom. It provides activities to help students to build both the fluency and accuracy of their listening and speaking skills. These activities integrate listening and speaking practice and allow teachers the flexibility to choose the elements of the course that their students need most.　　The text is based on the model of oral communication skills shown in the following illustration. Listening, speaking, accuracy （pronunciation）, and fluency work together to form the whole that is oral communication. In this model，the listening and speaking skills are represented by two overlapping circles. These skills are inherently related, although they sometimes operate separately.

章节摘录

　　Telephone Information Systems　　When you call a telephone information system like those that many banks now have, you can get personalized information by pushing the buttons on a touch-tone telephone. The systems computer will ask for your identification number. After you enter this number by pressing buttons on the telephone keypad, the computer will give you a list of options from which to choose. This list is called a menu. Each time that you hear a menu of options, you then choose one option by pushing the correct number on the telephone keypad.　　Information systems like these enable you to get information at any time without having to wait until a person is available to take your call. The system also enables you to listen as many times as you need so that you can be sure that you understand what is said. In this way, you do not feel that you are bothering people by asking them to repeat the same thing many times.　　Banks are not the only businesses that use telephone information systems. Many other companies now use them, including credit card companies, telephone companies, airlines, bus companies, train companies, movie theaters, and government offices. These systems offer you great opportunities to practice listening.
