有效的英語學習方法論
G. Retelling exercise: Retell some articles or English stories in our own words.
復述練習:用自己的話口語復述我們所聽的英語故事或文章.
H. If possible, we may read some English tongue twisters loudly and quickly with one or two cakes of candy in our mouth (just as the Chinese cross-talk actors do.) to train our oral cavity muscle and tongues suitable for English pronunciation.
如果可能我們也可以大聲且快速朗讀英文繞口令(就象相聲演員練嘴),還可以同時口中含塊糖以加大強化訓練的力度.這樣來強我們的口腔肌肉迅速適應英文發(fā)音,使我們的口語相當流利,清晰,而且還有自信.例如:
☆A big black bug bit the back of a big black bear. The big black bear bit back the big black bug.
☆This fish has a thin fin; That fish has a fat fin;
This fish is a fish that has a thinner fin than that fish.
I. Paying more attention to phrases and small words as one major shortcoming of Chinese English (especially Chinese oral English) is that Chinese students tend to use big words in their oral language, but the idiomatic oral English is abundant with short, active and vivid phrases. And most of such phrases are made of small words.
特別注意短語(詞組)和小詞的運用,中國式的英語尤其是口語一個很大的缺點就是中國學生喜歡用大詞,而真正地道的英語口語確是充滿著短小,活潑,生動的短語,富有生氣.而這些短語大部分有小詞構成.
J. Oral English has its own features, but it is closely combined with other aspects of English, for example, writing may make oral English precise and accurate.
口語隨自有特色,但與英語的其它方面緊密相連.比如,經(jīng)常練習寫作,可是口語精密,準確.
2. Listening comprehension:(聽力)
A. We may improve our aural ability by speaking English in the native and idiomatic way. The pronunciation, intonation and sentence structure should not be in Chinese style.
可以通過講地道的口語來提高聽力.發(fā)音,語調(diào)和句子結構請不要中國化.既然能說出來,當然能聽懂.當然這樣作有點難.
B. Keeping a relaxed, natural and steady mood when listening to some materials. Namely, to establish self-confidence and to develop excellent psychological quality are essential in the improvement of aural ability.
在作聽力練習時,力求保持放松,自然和穩(wěn)定的心態(tài).即建立自信心和培養(yǎng)良好的心理素質(zhì)
在聽力提高中致關重要.
C. We may make some simple notes while listening, for examples, the names of people and places, time, age, distance, occupation, figures and so on to get a better understanding of the content.
在作聽力練習時,我們可以作些簡單的筆記,例如人名,地名,時間,年齡,職業(yè),數(shù)字等以便更好地理解材料.當然還要以聽為主.
D. Catching the drift of the content instead of understanding every word and never waste too much time on single words.
作聽力練習要重材料大意, 而不要力求聽懂每個詞 ,不要在單個詞上浪費太多時間.
E. Pay close attention to CONCESSION and TRANSITION so as to correctly understand the attitudes of the speakers. The following words are most important: even though, even so, in spite of, unless, although, no matter, however, whatever, no, nor, neither…nor, but….
密切注意聽力材料中的讓步與轉(zhuǎn)折以便正確把握說話人的態(tài)度.特別關注這些詞: even though, even so, in spite of, unless, although, no matter, however, whatever, no, nor, neither…nor, but….
F. If we may learn by heart new words by listening some word tapes, the results must be satisfactory.
在背記生詞時,如果能聽詞匯磁帶,那么對聽力提高也很有好處.
3.Reading skills:(閱讀)
a. Intensive Reading: When we read the intensive articles, we should make notes of the new words and phrases and good sentences. After reading them, we may ask ourselves some questions about them by using such words: Who, What, Why, When and Where. Then try to answer them in our own words.
精讀:在精讀課文時,我們要把生詞,詞組,句型做成筆記.讀后要試著用這些疑問詞提問自己:誰,什么,何時,何地且努力用自己的話來回答.
b. Extensive reading: We must train our ability to scan, skip and read fast. Namely, the ability to catch the key words, the topic sentences and the drift of the articles.
泛讀:要培養(yǎng)瀏覽,跳讀和快讀的能力.即抓住關鍵詞,主題句和中心大意的能力.
c. Reading speed: Three ways to improve our reading speed: 1) Reading the articles from the beginning to the end without intervals so to catch the rough idea of the articles on the whole. Never waste too much time on some new words and single sentences. 2)We may keep time when reading articles.3) When reading articles, we can point at the words with our finger or pen point and our eyes move with the finger quickly so that we are able to read very fast.
閱讀速度:三種方法提高我們的閱讀速度:1.先從頭至尾不間斷地通讀課文以抓住課文大意.不要在單個詞或單句上浪費太多時間.2.閱讀時計時.3.閱讀時用手指或筆尖指向文章字句并快速移動來迫使我們的眼睛快速隨手指或筆尖移動來強化我們的閱讀速度.
d. Newspaper as good reading materials can widen our sight and richen our knowledge.
