怎样讲一口地道英语的对策

Speaking good English isn't difficult if you are ready to spend time on it and have more patience. In order to make it all you have to do is conquer some 200-300 sentence patterns and about 2000 words. This is absolutely not nonsense. If you read any situational English book and try to collect all the useful words and sentence patterns from it, you'll know what I am saying here is definitely correct!

只是你肯花时间和有耐性,要讲一口漂亮的英语并不难。因为只要掌握常用的200-300个句型和2000个左右的单词即可畅所欲言!这并非无废话哦,不妨找本情景会话英语书仔细看看,并把每个情景的常用的句型和词汇摘录就可知道我所说的是否属实了。

Like I said, all you have to do is spend time on it and have patience and your learning habit need to be changed a little bit. Once you decide to do so, keep stick to it and you'll succeed in not time!

而现在你所需要做的是改变学习英语的习惯并需要的时间和耐性。决心已定,则必须坚持,那么学好口语指日可待!

My advice here goes: A situational English book with tapes is the end solution for your conquering oral English and with no extra cost anymore.
It can help you with your pronunciation and let you have the sense you need when you speak English. Furthermore you can have all the practical sentence patterns and vocabularies together.

我的建议是:一本带磁带的情景会话英语手册即是你征服英语口语的最终解决方案而无须再做更多无谓的投资。你可以借助它来攻克发音和培养英语语感。且同时掌握了常用的词汇和句型。

Using it is one of the most important rules which you need to bear in mind.
I never doubt that you can remember ten or more sentences a day, but without using it, it's not yours. And you'll forget it soon as time goes.

用你所学是一条需要紧记的原则。我不怀疑你一天能记住10条或更多的句子,但不去用它还不是你的。且日久定忘掉。

Writing daily journal or participating in some topic is a good way to practice English. Writing means a lot, I think, because it allows you enough time to think. You won't have this in real situation. I am sure that you can talk whatever you can write. Because the source is the same.

如写日记或参加专题讨论就是训练英语的最好方法。写尤其重要,因为写有足够的时间让你去想。这在真实环境中是不可能有的。能写什么自然就能说什么,因为无论写还是说都是来自大脑。

练习英语口语DIY

如果你对自己信心不足或碍于面子,不愿开口的话,那么不妨尝试以下的方法:

  大声朗读难度适宜的读物(中短篇),可定在每天的某一个时段,上午或下午用一小时即可,大声朗读,对于不能确信的发音要查字典确定,既可以更正自己的发音,又可以熟记常用句子、固定词组或搭配。


  模仿:学习(听录音,分段模仿)———试读并找问题———带着问题听录音———反复练习———与原声对照、印证、重合。

  这些过程是反复而且需要耐心和毅力的,只要专心致志,就可发现其中有乐趣可言,如节奏轻重的变化,语调升降的起落。

  语法避免误区

   语法是语言的骨骼,但要避免两个误区:“死抠语法”或认为语法不重要。有很多本科毕业生,甚至硕士生、博士生,复杂的文章都看得懂,写得出,但就是说不 出,而往往发现话刚出口,就立即意识到所犯的错误,原因不是不理解或记不住这些语法规则,而是不知道如何正确的运用,缺少足够的练习,只有从练习句型入 手,进而简单句、复杂句、各种时态、语态、单复数等等。一直练到不假思索张口就对的地步,才能解决这个问题,任何企图通过一个阶段的练习就彻底解决某方面 的问题的想法都是不现实的,必须采取循环或反复练习。

  词汇融会贯通

  枯燥无味的单词、句子只有在一定的语境中才能 活起来,比如说通过上下文猜测一个词的含义,前后背景含义猜测一个句子含义,单纯机械地记忆单词是无效而且不可取的,如果不能切实掌握该词的用法、适当的 场合、程度轻重、搭配用法,错误地使用该词,反而适得其反,不能达到我们期望的效果。要试图记住所有的单词是不可能的,我们可以记住那些最有用的词汇。

  根据语言学家调查,我们一般常用的词汇在2000个左右。有些同学的问题不在于他们的词汇量不够,而是不知道该如何使用,越是地道的口语,都是非常简单的。我成功了,可用Imadeit不用很复杂,但起到了交流的作用。

  体态语言六字秘诀

   唐·加博尔(Don.Gabor)曾有篇文章叫《Howtostartaconversa?tionandmakefriends》。她在书中给英语学 习者介绍了如何善用语言的技巧。6个字母代表:S—Smile微笑是友好,愿意和别人交往的标记。O—Openposture开放式的姿势,是一种欢迎别 人和你交谈的姿势。F—Forwardlean在和别人讲话时,身子要稍稍前倾。T—Touch如果和别人相遇时,表示友好的最普通的形式是热情而有力的 握手。E—Eye-Contact眼睛里传递非语言信息的最有效渠道。N—Nod和别人说话时,人们经常用点头来表示我在认真听你说或我同意你的说法。

  临场应变能力

  在日常口语练习与交往中,我们经常会不知道如何表达,找不到适当的词语,很尴尬,而且给别人的感觉你口语很差,其实我们可以通过很多的方式避免这一情况的出现。Marina建议,准白领们不妨通过参加实战口语的学习班,获得如何解决口语尴尬的经验。
