First, talk more.
Create more opportunities to speak English with English teachers. When you meet your classmates, especially with your good friends, try to say hello to them and talk about your feelings in English ... then you need to carry a small English-Chinese translation dictionary with you. When you meet new words, you don't have to remember them deliberately. If you use it too much, the word will naturally be remembered. Don't take learning English as a burden, always take it as an interesting thing to do.
Maybe if you have a chance to meet a foreigner, you should boldly go up and say hello to him and talk about the weather, scenery and school ... just don't ask him personal questions such as his age and marriage history. Try to talk to him with some words and sentences you have learned. Soon you will find it much easier to talk with foreigners in English than with people from China. Because he will use many simple words when he talks to you, and he is not very particular about words, you just have to.
It doesn't matter if you don't have the right partner. You can take a book or something as the object of imagination and talk about what you have seen and heard in a day, your happiness, your sadness and so on. If you insist on doing this, your spoken English will certainly be greatly improved.
Second, listen more.
Look for every opportunity to listen to English. When others talk in English, you should boldly participate and listen to the pronunciation of all kinds of people, regardless of gender, age, fast-paced and slow-paced. If such opportunities are rare, you can choose articles that you don't know, which is of great help to yourself. Listening to the tapes of the learned texts is of great help to your language intonation learning.
Third, read more books.
"Reading" can be divided into two types. One is "silent reading". Giving you a certain amount of practice every day will be of great benefit to improving your reading speed. What you read can be your textbook, but it's better to have some interesting little books, because the English college entrance examination now pays more and more attention to reading quantity and reading speed. The score of each question has a great relationship with your comprehension ability, so after three years of reading training in high school, you will definitely win the college entrance examination.
Fourth, write more.
Some students always complain that time is tight and they have no time to write compositions. In fact, there are many forms of "writing", which may not necessarily improve your writing ability. For example, if you write down some important things that happened in your day or learn a phrase, you can create a context to use the word properly. This can help you remember the usage of words and exercise your writing ability.
It doesn't take much time to learn English. Walking 10 minutes can practice oral English. You can read English novels for a while after dinner and listen to English for a few minutes before going to bed, which can make you have a better rest ... As long as you spend some time practicing English every day, your English score will definitely improve quickly.
Method 2:
People often ask: What is the secret of learning English? To tell the truth, if you want to master a language, there is really no shortcut without the necessary language environment.
To sum up, there are only four words: hard work. I'm definitely not talking casually. According to my experience in learning English in recent years, only after a long time can we achieve a qualitative leap through quantitative change. I remember that for a while, after I worked hard, I still felt that my English was improving too slowly, so I deliberately relaxed for a few days. Who knows, when I started studying again, I obviously felt that I had regressed a lot. From then on, I made a motto for myself: "Never leave your fist, never leave your mouth" and persevere. Interest is very important to learn English well. As Einstein said, "Interest is the best teacher". My interest in learning English greatly aroused my curiosity. Some people say that a high level of English is the capital for finding an ideal job or even going abroad in the future. This is good, but apart from English being a window, it shows us a vast world and a novel scene. When I can communicate with foreign friends in English, learn about foreign society, history, science and culture, and get first-hand information, I really understand the benefits of mastering a language.
To learn English well, a set of scientific learning methods is essential. Due to different personal circumstances, it is not feasible to apply mechanically. But I believe that as long as you understand it carefully and explore it step by step, everyone can create a set of distinctive and effective learning methods. Here, I want to talk to you about some of my experiences in learning English for your reference. Although I had a good English foundation in middle school, when I first entered the university, I still deeply felt my own gap. To have certain listening, speaking, reading and writing skills, you must first master 5000 to 8000 words. As a high school graduate, my vocabulary was really poor at that time. So, I decided to expand my vocabulary quickly as the main breakthrough. Some students like to recite manuals with large vocabulary, which I find boring and not conducive to flexible use. So I concentrate on reading. Vocabulary and reading go hand in hand and get twice the result with half the effort. In order to expand my vocabulary quickly, I chose some reading materials that were difficult for us at that time from the beginning. Articles of several thousand words usually contain twenty or thirty new words. These articles cover a wide range, including vocabulary in many fields.
I generally adopt the "second reading method", that is, the first time I focus on training my reading ability, and the second time I focus on expanding my vocabulary and cultivating my sense of language. When I started reading training, I referred to the book Active Readers. First of all, I started by improving my reading speed. I concentrate on reading an article with a moderate length, record the starting and ending time, calculate the reading amount per unit time, and force myself to read quickly. This has become my habit. In the first reading, I focused on training speed, mastering the general idea and basic structure of the article, and finding problems so as to solve them in further reading. The second reading focuses on two things: first, expand my vocabulary. The specific way is: reread the article, look up the new words, write them down in a notebook, and recite them when you have time. I never recite words all the time. For me, memorizing words is the most suitable. It doesn't take long to recite each time, but it's more important to repeat it. At that time, I used an English-Chinese dictionary because I felt that English explanations were not easy to remember. In the initial stage of expanding vocabulary, it is most important to understand the meaning of words. In this way, with the increase of reading and the broadening of my vocabulary, my vocabulary has also advanced by leaps and bounds. After preparing for TOEFL, GRE and other exams, I began to recite the vocabulary manual.
The second focus of the second reading is to cultivate a sense of language. Carefully appreciate the wonderful language and pay attention to the use and collocation of words. I often read aloud or even recite some paragraphs. This helps to strengthen the sense of language; Lay the foundation for writing. Through this method of reading twice, what I read will generally leave a deep impression in my mind, and also improve the utilization rate of reading materials. I attach great importance to the choice of reading materials. Instead, I consciously read some articles about popular science, history and philosophy that I don't know much about or even care about. In addition, for different training purposes, I also choose reading materials with different content difficulties. For example, reading training, which focuses on expanding vocabulary and broadening horizons, chooses British and American newspapers and magazines. In addition, I also pay attention to step by step, and choose the corresponding reading materials according to the changes of my English level at different stages. In listening, speaking, reading and writing, I have benefited a lot from reading. On the one hand, I expanded my vocabulary through conscious reading. On the other hand, I have developed a sense of language, which I think are the two pillars of mastering a language. As for listening, speaking and writing, I have not received special training. I read a lot, have a large vocabulary and have a strong sense of language. As long as you practice more, your ability in these three aspects will naturally improve.
In listening and speaking, English radio and original movies are excellent media. In addition, it is quite effective to take every possible opportunity to talk with foreign friends and try to imitate them. As for writing, in the initial stage of insufficient reading, I am not in a hurry to write by myself, but to learn and imitate some classic chapters. I have memorized the third volume of New Concept English and some wonderful chapters in the intensive reading textbook, and I often recite them. Or listen to the radio. In this way, I can hear idiomatic English in my ears and see idiomatic English in my eyes. Over time, I will learn to speak and write. Someone asked me: How can I get high marks in various English exams? In fact, I don't have any special test-taking countermeasures. On the basis of gradually improving the ability of listening, speaking, reading and writing, do some simulation questions and understand the characteristics of various exams, and you will naturally fail. It is better to accumulate in a down-to-earth manner than to engage in sea tactics on the eve of the exam. In my opinion, the "secret" of learning English well is nothing more than hard work and skilled work, because I firmly believe that success is natural.
