1. The
Absent-minded Academic心不在焉的大学教师
读故事 Story
At times I like to
abandon my ability to speak and write in an academic way, which my friends call an abuse of language. When I am about to go aboard a plane to go abroad, I often still think about this. At
these times I am so absent-minded that I almost miss the call for all aboard . In another country I often avoid
abstract language when talking to other academics and try not to accent every word. Instead, I aim for clear
and simple communication to help others absorb what I am saying. This is not easy since I
like to abuse language and always try to use the
full range of language to the best of my ability. However, I think that one can abandon oneself to new experiences when overseas
without treating ones training with abandon. It has also been suggested that I get rid of
my strong accent, and my absence from my country might accelerate this change. In the meantime, Ill
think of ways to use Band 4 words, in concrete ways, rather than in the abstract. Readers can then abstract what suits them best, from the
book, towards developing absolute faith in their ability to master English.
