怎樣練成流利的英語口語？Quora大神這樣說

英語的重要性現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)不言而喻了，而對于中國這樣一個越來越國際化的國家，口語交流能力也變得越來越重要。

不管你是要到高級企業(yè)就職，還是想出國留學(xué)、游學(xué)，亦或是自己創(chuàng)業(yè)做國際化生意，都需要足夠的口語能力。

但這個能力似乎一直是大部分中國人的弱項。

到底要怎樣才能提高我們的口語能力呢？Quora網(wǎng)站上的這則分享或許能給你答案：

 

How can I become fluent in English?怎樣說一口流利英語？

Don't set fluency targets - Never ever commit the mistake of setting a "number of words spoken per minute" kind of targets. They are destructive as they do not allow the mind to really work constructively without pressure.別設(shè)定什么流暢度目標(biāo)——永遠別定“一分鐘應(yīng)該說多少個詞”這種錯誤目標(biāo)。這樣你就沒辦法正常地毫無壓力地表達，會打亂你的節(jié)奏。Be a natural - Let things happen naturally. As you read more, and convert the read word into spoken word, your speed will gradually pick up. Do not be artificial.自然點——順其自然。隨著閱讀量增加，把你讀到的轉(zhuǎn)化成你說出來的，語速自然會提高。別刻意追求速度。Read, read, read - As you read more, your confidence about issues / topics / subjects will grow. You will start owning knowledge. You will develop an inner, natural strength. It is a matter of time that is starts showing on your face.讀，讀，讀——你讀得越多，你對事情、話題、主旨的把握就越有自信。你開始積累更多的知識，培養(yǎng)自己由內(nèi)而外、自然而然更優(yōu)秀的氣質(zhì)。隨著時間的沉淀，這種氣質(zhì)自然會顯露出來。Write at least 1 essay per day - It is the ultimate test of what you are learning, and if you are learning something at all. Pick a plain paper, think of a topic, and write an essay (300 words max) on it. Do it every day. It will very productively force you to raise the level of the game.每天寫一篇文章——這是考察你到底學(xué)了什么、有沒有學(xué)到真東西的終極考驗。拿一張白紙，想一個主題，然后寫一篇文章（不超過300字）。每天堅持。這是推動你進步的數(shù)量上的保證。Be measured while you speak - Do not try to outgun anyone in the group. Take a few seconds before you react (2 or 3 seconds, say). That will ensure that you do not over-react, instant-react, or wrong-react.想好了再說——不要試圖壓倒每一個組員。在作出反應(yīng)之前思考2到3秒，以保證你不會表現(xiàn)過激、倉促或者出錯。Talk to yourself - You will never be ashamed doing that. Keep doing it regularly. It will open up your tongue.和你自己對話——你不會為此感到害羞的。檢測有規(guī)律地練習(xí)。這會讓你敞開心扉。Shout, at least once a day - Go to the rooftop literally, and shout aloud. Do that for some minutes. Speak something sensible if you can. It will train the mind not to be scared of anything. Of course, if you do that elsewhere, people may beat you up :)大喊，至少每天一次——去屋頂，大聲喊。喊幾分鐘。如果可以的話，說一些有感而發(fā)的話。這會讓你內(nèi)心變得更強大。當(dāng)然，如果你不分場合地喊，肯定會被打的。Love yourself for what you are - This is perhaps the most crucial step. If you hate yourself for not being a fluent English speaker (as per whatever random benchmark you've adopted), your sense of self-worth will be destroyed. Don't let that happen to you.接受自己，愛自己的樣子——這可能是最重要的一步了。如果你恨自己的英語不夠流利（或者隨便其他你要求自己做到的事情。）你的自我肯定就會被摧毀。不要讓這發(fā)生在你身上。I have come across some really fast speakers who talk sense, and some who are idiots; some measured speakers who talk a lot of sense; and some slow speakers who are a pleasure to listen to.我遇到過很多講話很快又很有道理的人，遇到過說話很快卻很愚蠢的人，遇到過說話有分寸而且很有道理的人，也遇到過一些說話慢慢的卻讓人很樂意聽下去的人。It all depends on your profession, your eye-contact and body language, and the choice of words + depth of knowledge.這一切由你的專業(yè)水平、眼神交流、肢體語言和用詞、知識深度來決定。So relax, and start your personal journey of success! It will take time, so buckle up. Wish you great luck.所以，放輕松，找到適合你自己的方法吧！可能要花一些時間，所以要有耐心。祝好運。

 

總結(jié)來講，大部分人面臨的問題可以歸結(jié)為3點：

1. 缺乏使用英語口語的情境。

2. 沒有合適的練習(xí)對象，自己像沒頭蒼蠅一樣。

3. 學(xué)習(xí)材料零碎，難以進行系統(tǒng)提升。

如果這正是你面臨的問題，那么你可以嘗試滬江網(wǎng)校推出的口語提升項目：

 

口語能力的提升，歸根結(jié)底還是得靠說；而口語和聽力是相輔相成的，這兩個能力總是在同步提高、互相促進。

所以，練習(xí)口語實際上也是在練習(xí)聽力。

快給自己一個改變的機會吧。
