英语学习方法(2)(中英文对照)
g. retelling exercise: retell some articles or english stories in our own words.
复述练习:用自己的话口语复述我们所听的英语故事或文章.
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.
如果可能我们也可以大声且快速朗读英文绕口令(就象相声演员练嘴),还可以同时口中含块糖以加大强化训练的力度.这样来强我们的口腔肌肉迅速适应英文发音,使我们的口语相当流利,清晰,而且还有自信.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.
特别注意短语(词组)和小词的运用,中国式的英语尤其是口语一个很大的缺点就是中国学生喜欢用大词,而真正地道的英语口语确是充满着短小,活泼,生动的短语,富有生气.而这些短语大部分有小词构成.
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.
口语随自有特色,但与英语的其它方面紧密相连.比如,经常练习写作,可是口语精密,准确.
2. listening comprehension:(听力)
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.
可以通过讲地道的口语来提高听力.发音,语调和句子结构请不要中国化.既然能说出来,当然能听懂.当然这样作有点难.
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.
在作听力练习时,力求保持放松,自然和稳定的心态.即建立自信心和培养良好的心理素质在听力提高中致关重要.
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.
在作听力练习时,我们可以作些简单的笔记,例如人名,地名,时间,年龄,职业,数字等以便更好地理解材料.当然还要以听为主.
d. catching the drift of the content instead of understanding every word and never waste too much time on single words.
作听力练习要重材料大意, 而不要力求听懂每个词,不要在单个词上浪费太多时间.
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….
密切注意听力材料中的让步与转折以便正确把握说话人的态度.特别关注这些词: 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.
在背记生词时,如果能听词汇磁带,那么对听力提高也很有好处.
3.reading skills:(阅读)

泛读:要培养浏览,跳读和快读的能力.即抓住关键词,主题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.
阅读速度:三种方法提高我们的阅读速度:1.先从头至尾不间断地通读课文以抓住课文大意.不要在单个词或单句上浪费太多时间.2. 阅读时计时.3.阅读时用手指或笔尖指向文章字句并快速移动来迫使我们的眼睛快速随手指或笔尖移动来强化我们的阅读速度.
