學著用英語思考
This is undoubtedly the best way to improve your fluency. When you are thinking about a topic, try to make English sentences in your head. This will also make you aware of what vocabulary you still need to learn in order to express yourself.
這絕對能增進你表達的流利性。當你思考一個話題,試著在你的腦子里用英語組織語言。這同樣能幫你了解你還需要哪些單詞來表達自己。
2. Work hard on your pronunciation
下功夫練習發(fā)音
You have access to lots of recordings of native English speakers. Go to our website,use your pause button and repeat sentences that you hear, trying to match the pronunciation. If you prefer movies, watch DVDs. This will improve your listening ability too. The message is: expose yourself (給自己接觸某事的機會)to as much audio of native English speakers as possible.
你現在有機會聽到很多英語母語使用者的資料。你可以上英語在線新聞的網站,如果可下,把音頻下載下來,使用“暫停”鍵、重復你聽到的話,試著去模仿發(fā)音。如果你更喜歡電影,就去看片吧。秘訣就是:盡可能多地讓自己接觸到英語母語使用者的音頻。
3. Keep reading is very important
養(yǎng)成閱讀習慣
I think that reading can do wonders for (對...產生奇效) your vocabulary and also for your grammar and fluency since books are, after all, full of examples of perfect English sentences. Instead of interacting with English speakers, do the next best thing: interact with English-language books, radio programmes and films.
我認為閱讀對你的詞匯量、語法和流利性大有好處。因為書本本身就充滿了完美的英語例句。如果不能喝英語使用者直接交流,那么久退而求其次,好好利用英語書籍、音頻節(jié)目和電影吧!
4. Try social media
試試社交網站吧
But you should also try hard to meet English speakers, and remember that this doesn't need to be face-to-face. It's great that all of you come to this blog but remember that there are thousands of other English language blogs too. Maybe it’s time to try out your English skills in 'public'?!
但同時你也的確應該試著多和英語使用者交流,不過記住,這可不必要是面對面的。像你們都來上我們的博客當然很好,不過全世界可有成千上萬的英語博客呢,也許,是時候要試試把你的英語向公眾展示了?
One last thought. Some of my friends work out in the gym. They put a lot of time and energy into developing amazing muscles. I have to say I've never really understood that. Just by leading my normal life, my body develops all the muscles it needs. (It doesn't need many – I have a very sedentary lifestyle!) So, I ask my friends, if you don't need muscles, why go to the gym?
最后想到一點:我有一些朋友常去健身。他們花了很多時間精力來練就一身好肌肉。我必須承認我從來不理解:我就算不去健身,身體也能發(fā)展出日常生活所需的肌肉呀!(我并不需要太多肌肉——我的生活方式很“宅”)。所以,我問我的朋友:如果你不需要用到肌肉,那干嘛去健身呢?
If you really don't have any contact with English speakers, why learn English?
如果你并不需要接觸英語使用者,那干嘛學英語呢?
I'll leave you with that question.
我把這個問題留給你啦。
