1。 Expand your vocabulary. You should master everything in the textbook, look it up in the dictionary and recite derivative words together. Pay attention to the pronunciation of words. I think reciting vocabulary books is not as good as reading English novels, so I read more English extracurricular books. Just read it, you don't have to look up every new word.
2。 Listen to how to read the tape, focusing on vowels. When vowels are pronounced correctly, English will feel much more authentic.
3。 Improve reading level. As I said just now, it may be difficult to read more English novels at first. Start with a simple book and understand the plot. Don't look up every word, or you will lose interest in three days. Try the original English when you have more vocabulary. Choose what interests you. For example, I like to read detective stories and read 10 agatha christie.
4。 Listening comprehension. Very important. With more listening practice, vocabulary and oral English will naturally go up. I suggest listening to VOA, BBC and so on. Freshmen can start with VOA Special English, and sophomores can listen to standards. I suggest buying a shortwave radio. Desheng's is quite good. Stick to 1 hour and 1 month every day, and you will find that your listening ability has improved obviously.
5。 Speak English and chat with your classmates. Not afraid of grammatical mistakes, the key is that the brain can directly respond to English, speak it directly, and then translate it in Chinese without thinking. If you can do this, you will pass.
As for grammar, in fact, I learned it all in high school. Personally, I don't think it is necessary to exploit too many grammatical loopholes. English is a language, and it is used for communication. In particular, you should not consider grammar in your oral English. When foreigners speak, there are many grammatical mistakes. If you want to cope with the exam, you should do more questions instead of reading one by one with a grammar book.
