Learn English to Use it!
學英語是用來使用的!
Many people study English for many years. Even after years of studying, they go to an English speaking country and realize that they cannot say one sentence correctly.
很多人英語學習了很多年。 即使經過多年的學習,他們去到一個英語國家才意識到他們不能正確地說一句話。
1.Speak English fluently without thinking about the rules and logic.You need to mimic correct sentences over and over again.
說流利的英語,不用考慮語法規則和邏輯。
你需要一遍又一遍地模仿正確的句子。
Do you have to memorize English or do you have to understand the English to speak it? Let's first think about how people learn their first language. When you were little, you listened to your parents speak and you copied them. Over the years, people have tried to learn English like they learn a concept or a theory. They try to understand the meaning behind each sentence and try to put them together through logic. If you are studying to pass the GMAT or TOEFL or any other test, then you will have to try to understand every word of every sentence and know why each word is in a particular place. But when you speak English, you don't need to know any rules. The more rules and logic you think about, the harder time you will have. The best way to learn to speak English is to memorize. First, have a sentence that is correct. Listen to the sentence, repeat the sentence over and over again until it becomes a part of you.
你是要背誦英語還是要理解並說出來?我們先來想想人們如何學習他們的第一語言的。當你小的時候,你聽了你的父母說話,你模仿他們。多年來,人們學習英語,就像他們學習概念或理論一樣。他們試圖理解每個句子背後的含義,並通過語法規則和邏輯把它們拼在一起。如果你正在考GMAT或TOEFL或任何其他考試,那就必須了解每個句子的每個單詞,並知道為什麼每個單詞都在特定的地方。但是當你說英語時,你不需要知道任何規則。你想的語法規則和邏輯越多,你就越難說因故。學會說英語的最好方法就是背誦。首先,句子要是正確的。然後一遍又一遍地重複聽句子,然後大聲模仿說出來,直到它成為你的一部分。(有點同學真的很努力,每天聽每日笨一句,每天聽很多的聽力,但是關鍵是沒經過腦子,聽了就聽了,就過了,沒有背下來,背下一句有用的句子比你聽百遍還強!記住,背下來才是你自己的,否則全是別人的)
2.Are you talking after thinking about all the words?
You have to speak without thinking instantly.
你是在思考了之後再說英語嗎?(如果是)你必須不去思考,直接說出來。
When I ask you for your background information in your language, you don't have to think about each word that you are going to say. You are basically thinking about the content. When you know what you want to say, you can say it automatically. This is because you have everything already memorized. When you want to speak effectively in English, you have to recall information immediately. In order to do so, you must have the sentences already memorized. If you have something memorized, you will be able to say it immediately. For example, you probably learned how to say, 'How are you doing?' You don't have to think about this sentence because you practiced it so many times. Imagine if you can say other things as quickly as you can say 'How are you doing?" That is what you will be learning.
當我用你的母語詢問你的背景信息時,你不必思考你要說的每個單詞。 你基本上思考的是內容而不是單詞或語法。 當你知道你想說什麼,你可以自動說出來。 這是因為你已經記住了一切。 當你想用英語說話的時候,你必須立即回想起這些信息。 為了做到這一點,你必須已經記熟了這些句子。 如果你有腦子有東西,你就可以立即說出來。(反之,你腦子裡面是一些「apple」,「water」,「banana」零散的單詞,沒有能夠隨時拿出手的句子和文章,你怎麼說英語?) 例如,你已經學會了這句:「How are you doing?」 你不必考慮這句話,就能說出來,因為你練習了很多次。 想像一下,如果你能像說「How are you doing?」一樣快速的說出其他句子,這就是你將要學習的東西。
3.Learning listening skills will not improve your speaking skills.
We focus solely on teaching you how to speak in English.
學習聽力不會提高你的口語能力。
我們專注於教你如何用英語說話。
Many people study television news programs to improve spoken English. Your listening skills will improve, but your speaking abilities will stay the same. Ask if studying news will help you speak English in a normal setting. If you practice saying, "In Iraq today, 200 US troops have evacuated the perimeter near Baghdad due to constant surprise attacks by the remaining rebels", will it really help you speak to a regular English speaking person. Wouldn't you rather learn how to say something that will be used in daily conversation?
許多人通過學習英文電視新聞節目,來提高英語口語。 這樣做你的聽力將會提高,但你的口語能力保持不變。我們來看一下學習英語新聞是否能幫助你在日常場合說英語。 如果你練習說:「今天在伊拉克,由於剩餘的反叛份子不斷的突襲,200名美軍已經撤退到了巴格達附近的邊界」,這句子真的可以幫助你和一個普通的說英語的人對話嗎? 是不是我們更應該學習如何在日常對話中說英語呢?
