In order to learn English well and distinguish it from non-English majors, we should do the following.

First, English pronunciation

If you want to make your pronunciation better than others, you must first make your pronunciation perfect.

How to learn pronunciation? The textbook "American accent training" recommended here will teach you a complete pronunciation system, including pronunciation rules such as linking, weak reading and swallowing, and will also give you many example sentences for you to imitate when reading aloud.

Only standard pronunciation can distinguish you from non-English majors.

Second, the British and American cultural background

This is what all English majors need to know. Here are the details of English. How can I enrich my British and American cultural background?

1 Read more English news?

English magazines can read economics and China Daily as little as possible. Because they are written by China people, some languages are not as good as the original, so the original English magazines are recommended.

I recommend this Introduction to America as a teaching material for listening training. Since the founding of the United States, this book shows the political, economic and cultural development of the United States, which is very helpful for understanding American history and culture.

And the whole audio has a moderate speech speed, which is very suitable for practicing listening.

Then I will talk about how to practice listening.

Third, practice listening.

I have taken many listening courses, such as Professor Zhong's reverse listening and Li Yang's Crazy English. But I agree with the five-step method of intensive listening best. So what exactly is the intensive listening five-step method?

Listen to 1 first to get the main idea of the article.

Look up all the new words in the article and read them aloud.

Compare the article, listen to the audio, listen and read sentence by sentence.

Listen to the audio without reading the article. Listen to each sentence, pause each sentence and ask to repeat one sentence.

Listen to the audio without reading the article, and read the whole paragraph without stopping.

The fourth and fifth steps are very important. If the fourth step is not done well, then the fifth step cannot be carried out.

The final result is that you can follow the whole paragraph, translate and do these five steps well. After a month, you will find that your hearing has improved by leaps and bounds.

Fourth, writing.

Writing, I agree to practice with translation. You can use the article of New Concept III for translation practice.

The steps are as follows:

1 Translated from Chinese into English.

Compare the original text and see what grammatical mistakes or improper words are used.

3 Accumulate words and sentence patterns.

4. Correct the grammatical mistakes in your article and polish the text.
