提高英语口语和听力的技巧

 

2. Divide Your Listening Time

2、划分听力时间

  

Which is better: to listen for two hours without a break, or to divide that time during the day?    

Well, dividing your listening time is best. 

连续听两个小时听力好呢？还是分时间段听好呢？当然，后者效果更好。

 

By dividing your time throughout the day, you remember more and learn faster. So it’s much better to listen 30 minutes in the morning, then 30 minutes in the car or train, then 30 minutes coming home from work, then 30 minutes before sleep. In fact, this is the exact schedule I recommend to my students!  

分时间段练习听力有助于记忆。早上起床后听30分钟，坐车时听30分钟，下班回家路上听30分钟，睡觉前听30分钟。事实上，这是我推荐给学生的时间表!

 

3. Use an iPod or MP3 Player 

3、利用iPod 或MP3播放器

 

iPods are fantastic. You can put a big listening library on one. Then you can carry your English lessons everywhere. You can learn English while walking, while shopping, in the car, in a train, while cooking,...

你可以往播放器里下载很多的听力材料。这样，不管你走到哪你都可以学习英语。当你走路时 ，购物时，坐车时，做饭时······

 

With an iPod or MP3 player, you don’t have to worry about CDs. Also, you can find a lot of

English listening on the internet. You can find lessons, stories, podcasts, TV shows, interviews, and audio books. Simply download the audio, put it on your iPod. and learn English anywhere!  

CD也可以放到播放器里。在网上你可以找到很多关于英语听力的课程、故事、音频等。把他们下载到你的播放器里，你就可以随时学习英语了！

 

4. Listen To Movies

4、听电影 

Movies are great for learning English BUT you must use them correctly. Don’t watch all of an English movie. You will not understand it, and therefore you will not learn anything. 

电影对英语学习者也很有帮助。但是，你必须正确的运用它。不要学习一整部电影，你理解不了，也不会学到东西。

 

Only watch one scene or segment per week (maybe 2-3 minutes). 

每周只看电影的一个片段（或许2-3分钟） 

 

Follow this method: 

a) First, watch the scene with subtitles in your language. This will help you understand the general meaning.  

a)第一遍看母语字幕，这样帮助你了解大意。

 

b) Second, watch the scene with English subtitles. Pause. Use a dictionary to find new words you don’t understand. Write the new sentences in a notebook.  

b)第二遍看英语字幕。遇到新单词时暂停下来，查字典。把这个新句子写到笔记本上。

 

c) Listen to the scene a few times, with English subtitles. Do not pause.  

c)反复听这个片段，并带英语字幕，不要停下来。

 

d) Listen to the scene a few times, without subtitles. 

d)反复听，不带字幕。

 

e) Repeat a) - d) everyday for one week.  

e)每天重复a)-d)，并坚持一个星期。

 

On the second week, go to the next scene/segment and repeat again. It will take you a long time to finish a movie. That’s OK, because you will improve your listening and speaking VERY FAST. This method is powerful-- use it!  

第二周，进行下一个片段。这样，要想看完一部电影需要很长时间，但是它会很快提高你的听力和口语。

 

 

5. Read and Listen at the Same Time  

5、同时进行听和读

 

Listening and Reading together are very powerful. While you listen to something, also read it.    

This will improve your pronunciation. 

一边听材料一边跟着读会提高你的发音。

 

Reading while listening also helps you understand more difficult material. Read and listen to learn faster. After you do this a few times, put away the text and just listen. You will understand a lot more and you will improve faster. Always try to find both audio and text materials.

边听边读也会帮你理解一些较难的材料。听和读同时进行会学的很快。这样练习几次后，就把材料收起来，只进行听，你会有意想不到的收获。

 

You only need 6 months--6 months and you will speak easily to native speakers.6 months and you will speak quickly and naturally. 6 months and you feel relaxed when you speak English. You have tried the old ways. You tried textbooks. You tried schools. You tried grammar study. It is time to try something new!

只需6个月你就能够和外国人轻松地进行交流。你可能尝试了一些老方法：读课文，上辅导学校，学习语法等。何不尝试一些其他的新方法呢！

 

Good luck. I wish you success with your English learning!

祝君好运！祝大家的英语学习更上一层楼！
