在大學裡,在公司受訓時,我都覺得「
之後,
1.每天晚上回家飯後就坐下來看英文電影,30分鐘。
2.睡前把當天發生的事情用中文想一遍,
只有晚上我的精神才比較好,所以堅持每晚都做下來,
我個人覺得學美語就像收集古董。
教成人課程的這幾年,我覺得學英文沒有最好的方法,只有最適合自己的方法。現在我想分享幾個有效的學習方法和該注意的點。
不過度倚賴書本。部分學生喜歡買一堆英文參考書或自己認為適合自己的書,可是很容易半途而廢,書讀不完讀不透,自己也厭倦了。所以,如果需要,可以每次買一本,每天為自己定好進度,直到讀完。然後可以跟老師討論︰接下來我可以買哪方面的書來增強自己的哪一塊能力?在老師的指導下買書會比較有方向。
盡最大的可能多講,遇到老師,遇到外國人,都可以講幾句,不要怕講錯,外師都會樂意為大家糾正並重複練習,直到你運用自如。
如果沒有足夠的練習口語的機會,就堅持多聽。不一定是某本書的聽力光碟等,因為那容易讓人懈怠,感覺枯燥。其實看英文電影,重複去看,會有很大幫助。也可以在網路上去找一些國外教授或講師的演講等。
工作中寫信可以儘量用英文寫,遇到不會的就要累積起來,上課時問老師,並記錄下來,之後再應用到信裡。不會,會,應用,重複應用,經過這個過程,就會變成自己的。
Ways to Master English Vocabulary
One of the best ways to learn English vocabulary is by topics with explanations of meaning, examples of usage and subsequent exercises. It is possible to practice English vocabulary through exercises in listening comprehension, speaking, reading and writing.
- English learners should have lists of difficult word meanings and of phrases (expressions) on every topic with usage sentences. Read the ready-made vocabulary usage sentences many times if needed. It is essential that you also make up your own sentences with the vocabulary, taking into consideration real life situations.
- You can also learn a lot of vocabulary on every topic from thematic English dictionaries. Good thematic English dictionaries provide clear word usage explanations and also a few usage sentences for each word meaning, which is especially important.
- Just do it. Practice by doing dialogues, narrations (telling stories), thematic texts, questions and answers in various situations, discussions, talking points and expressing opinions and views on real life topics and issues.
- It is always a good idea to write down unknown vocabulary in whole sentences. It is essential to practice telling the content of the texts. As people say: practice makes perfect!
