摘要:　如果你會(huì)坐在桌前學(xué)習(xí)英語，從打出一段簡(jiǎn)單的英文開始吧。你可以寫寫你的一天，你的愛好，你的朋友等等，什么都行。打字可以幫助激活你大腦中運(yùn)動(dòng)的部分，這有助于從生理行為方面促進(jìn)學(xué)習(xí)。我還很推薦學(xué)語法的時(shí)候打字，這可以用動(dòng)作固化你的記憶。

　　如何高效地學(xué)英語

　　Just as there are exercises to help you warm up before you play some basketball or other sport, there are exercises which can help you warm up to study English. Here are some simple exercises to help you warm up.

　　每次打籃球或者進(jìn)行其他運(yùn)動(dòng)之前我們總要做一些熱身活動(dòng)來準(zhǔn)備準(zhǔn)備，學(xué)英語也是一樣，這里有一些可以幫你做學(xué)前熱身的簡(jiǎn)單練習(xí)。

　　Study English I: Activating Your Vocabulary

　　熱身練習(xí)一：激活你的詞匯

　　Activate your vocabulary by thinking or speaking briefly about the subject you are about to work on. For example, if you are going to study English on topics that focuses on vacations, take a moment to think about your last vacation, what you did, what you enjoyed, etc. This simple exercise will help your brain warm-up to vocabulary that you are likely to encounter as you study English about this particular subject.

　　激活英語詞匯可以通過簡(jiǎn)短的想想或者說一說和你即將學(xué)習(xí)的主題來進(jìn)行。舉個(gè)例子，如果你要學(xué)習(xí)和假期有關(guān)的主題，花點(diǎn)時(shí)間想想你上一個(gè)假期，你干什么了，你喜歡的事情等等，這個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單的練習(xí)可以讓你的大腦準(zhǔn)備好你在學(xué)習(xí)的時(shí)候可能用到的詞匯。

　　Study English II: Activating Your Grammar

　　熱身練習(xí)二：激活你的語法

　　Activate your grammar by thinking about the general grammar area before you begin to study. For example, if you are going to study English grammar focusing on the past, stop to think about what you did last weekend, where you went, etc. to help activate what you already understand about using the past. As with activating vocabulary, you'll help your brain bring up what it knows about the past simple in an easy way before you begin to focus onstudying English grammar in detail.

　　在開始學(xué)習(xí)之前，想一想通用的語法點(diǎn)，以此來激活你的語法。比如，如果你要學(xué)習(xí)過去時(shí)，開始想想你上周末干過什么，去過哪里等等，這些可以激活你已經(jīng)學(xué)會(huì)的過去式的用法。加上已經(jīng)激活的詞匯，在你開始學(xué)習(xí)語法細(xì)節(jié)之前，就可以幫助你的大腦用一種輕松的方法了解過去時(shí)。

　　熱身練習(xí)三：唱首歌

　　Before class begins, or before you sit down to study English sing a song in English to yourself. Make sure to use a song that you understand and know very well. This short and fun exercise will help your brain focus on the English language in a relaxing manner. It's important to be relaxed when you study English! Singing a song also helps activate the creative side of your brain which can help you come up with more examples as your practice conversation or do some creative writing.

　　在英語課開始前，或者你開始學(xué)英語之前，給自己唱一首英語歌吧。最好是一首你完全明白唱的是什么的歌。這種簡(jiǎn)短又有趣的練習(xí)可以幫助你的大腦在放松模式下集中在英語這種語言上。學(xué)英語的時(shí)候放松是很重要的!唱歌還能幫助激活你大腦中有創(chuàng)造力的一邊，者可以讓你在練習(xí)對(duì)話或者寫作的時(shí)候舉出更多的例子。

　　Study English IV: Typing e a Short Paragraph in English

　　熱身練習(xí)四：用英語寫一段文章

　　If you going to study English at your desk, begin by typing a simple paragraph in English. You can type about your day, your hobbies, your friends, etc. Anything will do. Typing helps activate the kinetic part of your brain that helps improve learning through physical activity. I also recommend typing while you study your English grammar. This will help solidify your knowledge with movement.

　　如果你會(huì)坐在桌前學(xué)習(xí)英語，從打出一段簡(jiǎn)單的英文開始吧。你可以寫寫你的一天，你的愛好，你的朋友等等，什么都行。打字可以幫助激活你大腦中運(yùn)動(dòng)的部分，這有助于從生理行為方面促進(jìn)學(xué)習(xí)。我還很推薦學(xué)語法的時(shí)候打字，這可以用動(dòng)作固化你的記憶。

　　Study English V: A Thousand Words ...

　　熱身練習(xí)五：一千個(gè)詞……

　　As the saying goes in English: A picture is worth a thousand words. Help activate the creative side of your brain by trying to describe a photo or other image. You can combine use this also to activate your vocabulary by choosing a picture that has something to do with the subject your are going to study in English.

　　英語里有句話說，一幅畫頂一千個(gè)詞。描繪一張照片或者其他的圖片會(huì)很有助于激活你大腦中創(chuàng)造性的一邊。你還可以用一張和你要學(xué)習(xí)的主題相關(guān)的圖片結(jié)合這個(gè)方法激活你的詞匯。
