This is the most effective way to learn

Chapter 23 Are you afraid of English? ——English learning method for top students (4)
The first step is to imitate the voice.When imitating, you must be strict, and the mouth shape must be correct. At the beginning of imitation, do not imitate too fast, and imitate at a slow speed so that the sound can be pronounced in place. Repeat the sentence until you can easily say the sentence at a normal speed without thinking (blurring it out). For words that you are not able to pronounce or are relatively unfamiliar, you should listen to them several times, and then imitate them repeatedly, practicing word by word. , Work hard on those commonly used words, and try to imitate them as much as possible.

The second step is to imitate the pronunciation of the phrase.With the foundation of the first step, this step is much easier.The focus should be on proficiency and fluency, and more phonetic skills such as continuous reading and assimilation should be practiced.

The third step is to imitate paragraphs and chapters, with the focus on improving fluency.Turn on the tape recorder or radio and follow the imitation, "he" tells you to imitate, and proceed simultaneously.The purpose is to improve the reaction speed of the oral muscles and make the muscles and the brain more coordinated.

One thing to pay attention to when imitating exercises is shyness.On the one hand, shyness stems from personality. People who are generally introverted tend to speak in a low voice, which is not good for learning English pronunciation and intonation. Pay attention to overcome it.On the other hand, it is due to inferiority complex. I always think that my English level is too poor and I dare not speak, especially when talking with people whose spoken English level is higher than myself. This situation is more likely to occur.Overcoming this psychological barrier is the prerequisite for learning oral English well.

method of retelling

Learning English is inseparable from memory, memory is not rote memorization, but flexibility.Retelling is a good self-training oral language, memorizing the form of words and sentences.

There are two common methods of paraphrasing.One is to retell after reading, and the other is to retell after listening to the tape.The latter method is better, this method not only practice listening, but also practice oral expression ability.At the same time, it can improve the concentration of attention, improve the effect of listening, but also improve memory, and overcome the problem of forgetting after listening.

Principles of retelling

To proceed step by step, you can start with one or two sentences, and then use your own words (English) to say what you heard after listening.At the beginning of practice, due to language expression ability, skills and other reasons, retelling is often close to reciting, but after the foundation is gradually laid, it will slowly let go, from "dead" to "live".Under the premise of ensuring the correct language, retelling can have more and more flexibility, such as changing the sentence structure, deleting some things that are not very useful or too difficult, shortening long paragraphs, or even only retelling the main idea or making a summary of the content.

The content of the retelling should also be selected.Generally speaking, the content of the selected materials should be specific and vivid, with a clear plot, and the amount of new words should not be too large.Optional short essays that are informative.At the beginning, you can practice retelling short stories. After you have a foundation, the retelling topics can be expanded.

Retelling looks slow on the surface, but it is actually very helpful to the cultivation of English comprehensive ability.If you have enough time, you can retell it in writing on the basis of oral retelling. This can deepen the accuracy of mastering the language and improve the ability of written expression.

English super learning method
I also read the text, did the questions, and learned Crazy English. Why can't my English score improve?

But how can I learn English well?Recitation method.

Everyone knows that TOEFL has relatively high requirements for English proficiency, and it is not easy to get a score of 12.There is a Chinese classmate who wants to take the TOEFL test, but his English level has always been poor, so how can he study?It took him a year to memorize all the texts in the third volume of (New Concept) English by heart.Take any class you choose, such as class 630, without mentioning the title of the text, he can recite it without missing a word.Then I went to take the TOEFL test and scored more than [-] points.Later, when I went to study in the United States, the professors in the United States assigned homework for everyone for the first time and asked everyone to submit a paper.He quickly wrote an article and handed it in.

A day later, the professor asked him to go to the office, and then took out his paper and asked you if it was plagiarized.He said no.The professor said it was impossible. Even a college student who has been studying in the United States could not write such a fluent article. How could you write such an article after you have only been in the United States for less than a month.The classmate said at the time: Okay, let me prove it to you.He handed the "New Concept" to the professor, and then started to memorize it from the first lesson.After memorizing less than six lessons, the professor burst into tears.Why is this professor crying?The professor felt that no American student had recited such a good article in "New Concept", but a Chinese student had recited it. He was very sad.He will no longer suspect that the student's article was plagiarized.

Regarding memorizing English articles, Qu Yang, the "top scorer" in the college entrance examination of Beijing No. [-] Middle School, introduced a specific method: looking at Chinese and memorizing English.He said: When he first learned "New Concept", he felt that there were many new words in it, and it was not easy to memorize. After a period of exploration, he gradually discovered the way of reading Chinese and memorizing English. For the Chinese translation, look at Chinese, that is, look at the Chinese translation.Memorizing English refers to silently remembering (or silently writing with a pen) the corresponding English when reading Chinese.For example, take the first lesson of the third volume of "New Concept" as an example. When you see the translation "Mountain lion is a large cat-like animal produced in America..., you should silently memorize or write the corresponding English: Pumas ale large, car-like animals which are found in America…

Qu Yang said that learning "New Concept" with this method is very solid.In his sophomore year of high school, he had already learned four volumes of "New Concept" by using this method. In fact, he had memorized all four volumes, which meant that he had memorized 7000-8000 words, many idioms, grammar points, etc. , On this basis, it is of course no problem to challenge the college entrance examination.Qu Yang also naturally won the "No. [-] Scholar" in the English single subject of Beijing No. [-] Middle School.

For beginners of a language, reciting is the best way to learn.The ancients said that one should not seek deep understanding in reading.In fact, why not learn English?Swallow to memorize English without thinking about grammar, sentence patterns, tense, and voice.Doing so is actually a kind of language sense cultivation. If you recite a lot and remember a lot, you will feel in place.Therefore, students who are troubled by English learning may wish to be more ruthless to themselves, memorize English as soon as they see it, and guarantee that within a year, your English score will definitely improve by leaps and bounds.

English Review Three Books

When reviewing English, I have to memorize vocabulary, grammar, and questions. I am very busy. What should I do?
Su Feng from Tsinghua University has excellent English scores.His learning method is to prepare three books.Summing up his experience, he said: Many people who are good at learning English may have the experience that the improvement of scores is often not due to your rote memorization, but to your own "language sense".Some people say: "Follow your feelings, what's the difference between this and blindness." In fact, the sense of language comes from your accumulation of grammar, sentence patterns, and vocabulary, and from your reading of various English. language familiarity.So, where does the sense of language come from?My experience is: "A trickle flows into a river." In the three years of high school, I prepared three notebooks for myself according to what the teacher said. In the first notebook, I wrote nouns, verbs, and common adjectives and adverbs in Concentrated memorization in one column, because the word composition is basically the same, it is easy to remember and can avoid confusion. Use one or two 10 minutes in the morning to recite it every day, and recite what was newly memorized yesterday the next day. After a few days of repetition, you will have a deep impression. Review it from scratch every half a month and you won't forget it.The second book is used for grammatical classification, which summarizes word discrimination, sentence pattern usage, various tenses, etc., and it is clear at a glance by flipping through it from time to time.It's like storing things. It's easier to arrange them at random than to stack them neatly. But when you need to use them, which one is easier to find and use?It can be seen that comprehensive induction is essential.There is also a notebook, where I write the mistakes in the notebook after each exam, and write the answers on the back of the notebook, and I will take it out and redo it whenever I have time.Because wrong concepts are often not easy to correct and need to be tested repeatedly.These three notebooks are still in my house now. Although they are very old, I have been reluctant to throw them away, because I feel that the reason why my English scores have always been good is that these three notebooks are indispensable.

One for English vocabulary, one for English grammar, and one for wrong exam questions.There is something unique about this approach.But don't forget that when you learn from other people's experience, you have to think about what they didn't say:
First of all, it is not necessary to use a book, and it is also possible to use a book.For example, some vocabulary books are now compiled, with English and Chinese on the front and back, so as not to interfere with each other when memorizing.There is a bracket after each word, and you can put symbols such as "√" and "×" in it to test whether you remember it.There is a summary at the bottom of each page to summarize how you remember this page.In addition, there are some words in the margins of the book that you might as well fill in.With such a book, it is not necessary to memorize each word in the book by yourself.What you do by yourself should be something that cannot be used by others.

Secondly, remembering is very important, and it is equally important to read it after writing it down.Look at student Su Feng, the first one is vocabulary, "Use one or two ten minutes in the morning to recite every day, and recite yesterday's new memorization the next day. Repeatedly for a few days will have a deep impression. After that, every half a month Review it from scratch."The second book is grammar, which is also "take it out and read it from time to time".The third one is a wrong question, so "take it out and redo it as soon as you have time."Otherwise, it is useless to remember.

Finally, the ones that are memorized and need to be reviewed frequently should be the most basic and most commonly used. Not necessarily good.
