9、ar.这里是VOA特别英语教育报道。东南亚奥林匹克英语竞赛将于周一在雅加达开始。高中生和大学生将在建国大学(Binus University)Anggrek校区展开竞赛，展示自己的英语技能。建国大学的Bina Nusantara英语俱乐部于2005年开始举办该比赛。这个一年一度的比赛以前的名称叫做全国英语奥林匹克比赛。今年，该俱乐部邀请东南亚其他学校派遣“代表”，与印尼的学生一起比赛。组织者希望能有400名甚至更多的学生参加。比赛共分六个部分。其中一个是拼字游戏，参赛选手以不同的方式将字母组合成单词。其他部分包括演讲，讲故事和新闻广播。裁判们将以选手呈现新闻的能力来打分。21岁的Yohanes

10、 Napis是将于下周举办的奥林匹克竞赛的行政主管。他说，最重要的部分是辩论比赛，比赛将有国际裁判参加。他说，竞赛奖采用英国议会体系，但是辩论者可以使用英式或美式英语。东南亚英语奥林匹克竞赛的组织者获得了美国驻雅加达大使馆和VOA的支持。决赛将于2月19日，周六在美国新的高科技文化中心america举行。这个文化中心12月份在雅加达太古广场购物中心成立。初步计划，下周五将有100名印尼高中生前往america文化中心。他们将参加第六个项目的比赛，制作电影短片。但是成年裁判将选择出金牌，银牌和铜牌得主。Yohanes Napis表示，明年，东南亚英语奥林匹克竞赛将扩展为亚洲英语奥林匹克竞赛。Yo

11、hanes Napis：“两个月前，有孟加拉国的选手想要参加比赛，但是不幸的是，我们不能接受他们的报名，因为这是东南亚奥林匹克英语比赛。也有中国的学生问他们有没有资格参加这次比赛。很遗憾，我们不能接受他们，也不能接受孟加拉国的学生。所以，我认为，我们有一个很好的机会，明年可以将比赛的规模扩大到整个亚洲。”1.demonstrate vt.说明, 演示例句：Recent events demonstrate the need of change in policy.最近的事态表明政策需要改变。This demonstrates that all power belongs to the peop

12、le.这说明一切权力属于人民。2.yearly adj.每年的, 一年一度的例句：The flower show is a yearly event in our town.我们镇上的花展一年举行一次。3.formerly adv.以前;从前例句：This boat was formerly used on the rivers of China.这船从前航行在中国内河里。4.present vt.出现; 出席; 显示例句：The question naturally presented itself in my mind.我的脑海中自然而然地出现了这个问题。5.eligible adj.有资

13、格当选的, 有条件被选中的例句：He is an eligible young man.他是一个合格的年轻人。1.This year the club invited other Southeast Asian schools to send ambassadors to join students from Indonesia.other, the other, another与others的用法这些不定代词不仅在含义上有单复数之分，而且在用法上有泛指(无the)和特指(有the)之别。其用法区别可归纳如下：1)指单数时的区别若泛指用another，若特指用 the other。如：Give

14、 me another (one). 另外给我一个。Shut the other eye, please. 请把另一只眼睛也闭上。2)指复数时的区别若泛指用 other(后接复数名词)，若特指用the other(后接复数名词)。如：There are other ways of doing it. 做这事还有其他的办法。Where have the other students gone? 其他学生都到哪里去了？3)others的用法它永远表示复数意义(且其后不能再接名词)。其用法大致相当于“other 复数名词”，同样地 the others 大致相当于“the other复数名词”。如：

15、Other people Others may not think that way. 别的人可能不这样想。He is cleverer than the others the other students in her class. 他比班上其他学生聪明。4)another的用法一般只能表单数，且其后接名词也只能接单数名词。但是若其后有数词或 few 修饰时，则也可接复数名词。如：We need another few chairs. 我们还需要几把椅子。In another two weeks it’ll be finished. 再过两个星期就可做完了。2.The organ

16、izers hope to have four hundred or more students take part.wish和hope的异同1)都不能接动名词，可接不定式，意义差别不大。2)不能说 hope sb. to do， 只能说 wish sb. to do.3)hope后不能直接接名词作宾语，若要接需先接 for 即 hope for sth.e.g. Hope for the best， prepare for the worst.4)wish后可跟双宾语，hope后则不能。5)两者后均可跟从句，hope 表“希望”，wish 表“愿望”，wish后的从句用虚拟语气，hope后的

17、从句不用虚拟语气。3.He says the competition will use the British parliamentary system but debaters can use either British or American English.either……or……意为或者……或者……；不是……就是……之意。表示两者之一，连接句子中两个并列的成分。例如：When the girl is happy， sh

18、e either sings or dances.那个女孩高兴时，不是唱就是跳。（此句中either……or……连接两个动词，因为主语是单数第三人称，谓语动词要用其相应的形式。）either……or……连接两个主语时，其谓语动词应与最近的一个主语在人称和数上保持一致，这就是我们通常说的就近原则.例如：Either you or I am going there tomorrow. 明天要么你去那里，要么我去那里。注意：如果把上句变成一般疑问句，助动词形式与主语you保持一致，所以要用are提问，而不是am.例如：Are either you or I going there tomorrow？ 明天是你还是我去那里？Either you or he has lunch at school. 其一般疑问句应为：Do either you or he have lunch at school？ 是你还是他在学校吃午饭？
