Task 1 Pedro’s experience at Cambridge

Before Listening:

? Background information: Situation:

In this letter, a young student, who came to Cambridge, looks to the past to find the origins of much that is distinctive in the University.

As one of the oldest universities in the world and one of the largest in the United Kingdom, the University of Cambridge is rich in history: Many of the University’s customs can be traced to roots in the early years of the University’s long history. 来源于，起因于

How the University of Cambridge began?(see 英美著名大学.ppt) In 1209, several hundred students and scholars arrived in Cambridge from Oxford英['?ksf?d] 美['ɑksf?d. They were all churchmen and had been studying in Oxford. It was a hard life at Oxford for there was constant trouble, even fighting, between the townsfolk and the students. Then one day a student accidentally killed a man of the town. The Mayor arrested him, along with three other students who were innocent, and by order of King John (who was quarrelling with the Church) they were hanged. In protest, many students left Oxford, some coming to Cambridge; and so the new University began.

Some great figures who once studied at Cambridge:

Bacon, Francis (1561-1626): English statesman, philosopher, and essayist. His essay “Of Studies” is popular among Chinese readers. Milton, John (1608-1674): English poet and prose writer. His famous works include the epics Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained.

Cromwell, Oliver (1599-1658): Chief commander of the parliamentary forces in the English Civil Wars against Charles I. He was Lord Protector of England, Scotland and Ireland from 1653 to 1658 in place of a king during the Commonwealth.

Wordsworth, William (1770-1850):Major English Romantic Poet and poet laureate['l?r??t; 'l??-] of England.

Byron, George Gordon (1788-1824): English Romantic Poet. His major works include Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage and Don Juan.

Tennyson, Alfred (1809-1892): English poet often regarded as the chief representative of Victorian poetry.

Newton, Sir Isaac(1642-1727):English physicist and mathematician. ? Vocabulary:

Mould [m??ld]: to create; to make; to form; to shape; Band together: unite together Forbid [f?'b?d]: ban

Scarce英[ske?s] 美[sk?rs]: rare
