My Reflection on Learning English
It is no doubt that to learn English well we must master skills in five aspects: listening, speaking, reading, writing as well as translating. Here I just focus on the first two skills. We usually put listening as the first, of course, it has the reason. Listenin
2、g can be the key in the process of learning any language. It reminds me of the childhood. When we are just infants, we don’t know how to read, how to write or even how to speak, the only way for us to learn mother tongue is just listening. Kids from 1 to 2 years old learn speaking mainly by sources
3、from mother to daddy’s conversation or other amusing entertainments. More specific, listening can be divided into intensive and extensive. Make sure that you will have half an hour of extensive listening. When we are in extensive listening, we don’t have to concentrate on what we are listening to, j

Intensive listening is very difficult and complicated. We need to have strong will and be patient because it requires of we repeating the part we
5、 didn’t catch over and over again.
When it comes to speaking, I have three tips. Pronunciation should be the base, so correcting pronunciation is always necessary. Intonation, rhyme as well as the speed is the blood of body. We need all so that we can survive the speaking. To improve this, imitati

Here I want to say more about oral English. Since I am not good at speaking, I spent a lot of time looking for a way to improve it. Finally I conclude my way. Just as a saying said, “l(fā)
7、earning English is like learning swimming. You will never acquire it unless you go into the water.” Here are some my tips for you to practice oral English:
Firstly, spend half an hour talking to yourself. The topics can be anything, such as food, clothes, movie plot, music, story, news, joke or eve
8、n your trouble. Speak English as possible as you can, if you don’t speak, then you don’t have chance to take mistakes and correct it. If condition permitting, use a cell phone to record what you have said, and listen to it. Try your best to find your flaws and make up for it.
Secondly, go to Englis

It’s ridiculous that people believe only native speakers can help us improve English. Actually, our classmates also work. Why? They improved our grammar. The more grammar m

11、. Don’t complain to me that you don’t have time. You can squeeze it. We never know that how much time we have lost.
I must say that there is no shortcut in learning a language. The best way is to repeat and imitate. To master a language, we must be expert on at least one skill of the five. You

And in my opinion, listening and speaking are closely related. If you can do better in listening, then you have no problem in speaking. In the similar way, reading
13、, writing and translating are also together. Of course, we need reading skill so that we can listen and speak. In fact, all the skills are linked to each other. The purpose we learn a language actually is to understand what a foreigner says and convey our ideas to them, so the ends of learning a lan

我對英語學(xué)習(xí)的反思
毫無疑問想學(xué)好英語我們必須掌握英語的五項技能:聽、說、讀、寫和譯。在這我主要注重在前兩個技能上。我們通常把聽放在第一位,當(dāng)然是有原因的。聽是學(xué)習(xí)各種語言的過程中最關(guān)鍵的部分。這使我想到了我的童年。當(dāng)我們還是幼兒時,我們不知道如何讀、如何寫、甚至是如何說,那時學(xué)習(xí)母語的唯一方法便是聽。1至2歲的小孩主要是通過父母間的談
15、話或是其它的有趣的娛樂活動來學(xué)說話。更加具體一點就是說,聽可以分為精聽與泛聽。每天確保你有半小時的泛聽。當(dāng)我們進(jìn)行泛聽時,我們不需要將注意力集中在內(nèi)容上,而應(yīng)該是關(guān)注它的語音、語調(diào)和語速上。這似乎是一種訓(xùn)練你的語感或耳朵反映的靈敏度。精聽是非常困難以及復(fù)雜的。我們需要有很強(qiáng)的意志力和耐心,因為它需要我們一遍遍重復(fù)沒聽懂的部分直到聽懂。
涉及到說,我有三個建議。發(fā)音是基礎(chǔ),所以糾音總是很有必要的。語音、語調(diào)和語速好比是身體中的血液。我們需要這些才能持續(xù)交談。模仿在提高這些能力上是永遠(yuǎn)不會過時的。美劇、BBC、VOA和短文都可以是模仿的來源。
在這我更想說的是英語口語。因為之前我并不擅長說,所
16、以花了很多時間在尋找方法來提高我的口語水平,
最后我找到了我的方式。就像一句諺語說的,“學(xué)英語就像學(xué)游泳。只有下水你才能學(xué)會。”這里有一些我對于練習(xí)英語口語的小建議:
首先,花半個小時與自己交談。話題可以是任何事情,比如食物、衣服、電影情節(jié)、音樂、故事、新聞、笑話,甚至可以是你自己的一些問題。盡可能地講英語,如果你不講,你就不會發(fā)現(xiàn)錯誤,更不能改正錯誤。如果條件允許的話,用一部手機(jī)把你所說的錄下來并聽一聽,然后竭盡所能找出缺點并改正它。
然后,多參加英語角并和他人交談。如果能找到一個外國人就更好了。當(dāng)然如果不能也不需要著急。非本地的人也是有所幫助的。那些認(rèn)為只有說母語的人才能對我們的英語
17、有所提高是謬論。事實上,我們的同學(xué)也能夠提供幫助。為什么呢?因為他們能夠提高我們的語法能力。在談話中他們暴露越多的語法錯誤,在下次交談中我們就會犯越少的語法錯誤。
最后一個是背誦。我們的記憶就像一個盒子,只有當(dāng)你經(jīng)常打開它時,你才能得到你想要的。盡可能多讀多背。如果你想過一個難忘的生活你就需要記憶。不要抱怨說沒有時間。你可以把時間擠出來的,我們永遠(yuǎn)不會知道我們失去了多少時間。
我必須說的是在學(xué)習(xí)語言的道路上是沒有捷徑可以走的。最好的方法就是重復(fù)和模仿。想要掌握一門語言,我們至少需要精通一種技能。你可以不擅長讀或者寫,但是你必須精通剩下的技能。如果所有的技能都只是中等甚至是極差的話,就很危險了。在我看來,聽與說是密切相關(guān)的。如果你在聽力上很擅長,那在說的方面也是不會有問題的。類似的,閱讀、寫作和翻譯也是相關(guān)的??隙ǖ氖?,我們需要閱讀以便于我們的聽與說。實際上,所有的技能都是相關(guān)的。我們學(xué)語言的目標(biāo)是理解外國人所說的,并將我們的想法傳達(dá)給他們,因此學(xué)習(xí)語言的最高層次就是翻譯。而測試你是否是高級英語學(xué)習(xí)者的方法就是檢測你的翻譯水平。
