3.While alone at home or doing exercises in your room, speaking English aloud.
3.獨自在家或在房間做題時,大聲朗讀英語(精品課)
Just as understanding the basics of tennis does not make you a great tennis player, understanding grammar rules does not mean you can automatically speak English well. You need to practice the act of speaking often. Speaking by yourself at home and reading the exercises you are doing will help connect your brain to your facial muscles and improve pronunciation and make your knowledge active.
正如掌握網球的基礎知識并不保證你會成為一名偉大的網球運動員一樣,熟悉語法規則并不意味著能夠流暢地輸出英語。你需要經常練習。在家里說英語、朗讀正在書寫的閱讀練習,將有助于大腦同面部肌肉相聯系,提升發音水平、使你的知識更活躍。
4.Do five to ten minutes of listening at least four times a week.
4.每周至少做四次五至十分鐘的聽力練習
If you decide that you going to work hard and listen for two hours, chances are that you will not do extra listening exercises any time soon. If, on the other hand, you start off slowly and listen often, it will be easier to develop the habit of listening to English on a regular basis.
如果你下定決心刻苦練習,每次練習兩個小時,那么你在短時間內,很可能不會再做額外的聽力了。相反,如果你慢慢開始,加大練習的頻率,反而更容易養成定期聽聽力的習慣。
5.Look for situations in which you must speak / read / listen to English
5.尋找那些你不得不開口說/閱讀/聽英語的語境
This is probably the most important tip. You need to use English in a "real world" situation. Learning English in a classroom is important, but putting your English knowledge into practice in real situations will improve your fluency in speaking English. If you do not know of any "real life" situation, create new ones for yourself by using the Internet to listen to news, write English responses in forums, exchange emails in English with email pals, etc.
這條建議也許是本篇最重要的內容。學習者需要在“現實世界”的語境中使用英語。課堂學習英語固然重要,但是,將所學的知識運用到實際情況之中,能夠大大提升學習者英語口語的流利性。如果你缺少這種“現實生活”的語境,可以通過在互聯網收聽新聞、論壇上使用英語回復、與筆友用英語發郵件聯系等方式,為自己創造新的語境。
