提升英語(yǔ)水平的5大建議：設(shè)定目標(biāo) 創(chuàng)造語(yǔ)境

1.每周問(wèn)問(wèn)自己：這周我想學(xué)習(xí)什么?

Asking yourself this question every week will help you stop and think for a moment about what is most important to you. It is easy to focus only on the current unit, grammar exercise, etc. If you take a moment to stop and set a goal for yourself every week, you will notice the progress you are making and, in turn, become more inspired by how quickly you are learning English!

問(wèn)問(wèn)自己這周我想學(xué)到什么，將有助于你停下來(lái)想一想，對(duì)自己來(lái)說(shuō)，哪些事情最重要。僅僅關(guān)注目前學(xué)習(xí)的內(nèi)容、完成現(xiàn)階段的語(yǔ)法練習(xí)，做到這些并不難。但是，如果你肯花點(diǎn)時(shí)間，停下來(lái)為自己設(shè)定一個(gè)周目標(biāo)，那么，你一定能發(fā)現(xiàn)自己有所進(jìn)步。反過(guò)來(lái)，這也會(huì)激勵(lì)你更加努力地學(xué)習(xí)!

2.Review important new information shortly before going to bed.

2.睡前簡(jiǎn)要回顧重要信息

Research has shown that our brains process information that is fresh in our brains while we sleep. By shortly (this means very quickly - just a glance at what you are working on at the moment) going over some exercise, reading, etc. before you go to sleep, your brain will work away on this information while you sleep!

研究表明，睡眠時(shí)人腦對(duì)信息的處理較為活躍。睡前簡(jiǎn)要回顧(也就是說(shuō)，回想一下此時(shí)你正在做什么)做過(guò)的習(xí)題及閱讀的內(nèi)容。在你入睡時(shí)，大腦會(huì)對(duì)這些信息進(jìn)行加工!

3.While alone at home or doing exercises in your room, speaking English aloud.

3.獨(dú)自在家或在房間做題時(shí)，大聲朗讀英語(yǔ)

Just as understanding the basics of tennis does not make you a great tennis player, understanding grammar rules does not mean you can automatically speak English well. You need to practice the act of speaking often. Speaking by yourself at home and reading the exercises you are doing will help connect your brain to your facial muscles and improve pronunciation and make your knowledge active.

正如掌握網(wǎng)球的基礎(chǔ)知識(shí)并不保證你會(huì)成為一名偉大的網(wǎng)球運(yùn)動(dòng)員一樣，熟悉語(yǔ)法規(guī)則并不意味著能夠流暢地輸出英語(yǔ)。你需要經(jīng)常練習(xí)。在家里說(shuō)英語(yǔ)、朗讀正在書(shū)寫的閱讀練習(xí)，將有助于大腦同面部肌肉相聯(lián)系，提升發(fā)音水平、使你的知識(shí)更活躍。

4.Do five to ten minutes of listening at least four times a week.

4.每周至少做四次五至十分鐘的聽(tīng)力練習(xí)

If you decide that you going to work hard and listen for two hours, chances are that you will not do extra listening exercises any time soon. If, on the other hand, you start off slowly and listen often, it will be easier to develop the habit of listening to English on a regular basis.

如果你下定決心刻苦練習(xí)，每次練習(xí)兩個(gè)小時(shí)，那么你在短時(shí)間內(nèi)，很可能不會(huì)再做額外的聽(tīng)力了。相反，如果你慢慢開(kāi)始，加大練習(xí)的頻率，反而更容易養(yǎng)成定期聽(tīng)聽(tīng)力的習(xí)慣。

5.Look for situations in which you must speak / read / listen to English

5.尋找那些你不得不開(kāi)口說(shuō)/閱讀/聽(tīng)英語(yǔ)的語(yǔ)境

This is probably the most important tip. You need to use English in a "real world" situation. Learning English in a classroom is important, but putting your English knowledge into practice in real situations will improve your fluency in speaking English. If you do not know of any "real life" situation, create new ones for yourself by using the Internet to listen to news, write English responses in forums, exchange emails in English with email pals, etc.

這條建議也許是本篇最重要的內(nèi)容。學(xué)習(xí)者需要在“現(xiàn)實(shí)世界”的語(yǔ)境中使用英語(yǔ)。課堂學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)固然重要，但是，將所學(xué)的知識(shí)運(yùn)用到實(shí)際情況之中，能夠大大提升學(xué)習(xí)者英語(yǔ)口語(yǔ)的流利性。如果你缺少這種“現(xiàn)實(shí)生活”的語(yǔ)境，可以通過(guò)在互聯(lián)網(wǎng)收聽(tīng)新聞、論壇上使用英語(yǔ)回復(fù)、與筆友用英語(yǔ)發(fā)郵件聯(lián)系等方式，為自己創(chuàng)造新的語(yǔ)境。
