举一反三
Although many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is good, most would admit that their spoken English is poor. Whenever I speak to a Chinese student, they always say,“My spoken English is poor.” 小题1:I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English.
First, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary.小题2:However, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if you choose a positive attitude. Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know.
小题3:Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous. Yet students should remember that their goal should be FLUENCY NOT ACCURACY. Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using the right words and spelling them correctly. However, in speaking your aim is fluency. You want to get your message across, to talk to someone in English, as quickly and as well as you can, even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense, but it doesn"t matter. 小题4:
The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening. You have one mouth but two ears! All that hearing is necessary for you to start speaking.
Fourth, most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive language learners. Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English they passively wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor. 小题5: | A．The person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears. | | B．They may try to avoid making similar mistakes next time. | | C．Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary. | | D．If you have this proactive outlook, then you will see English opportunities wherever you go. |
E. However, their spoken English does not have to remain“poor”!
F. Second, they are afraid of making mistakes.
G. The second reason lies in the reluctance of using what has just been learned. |
How to use speed reading to go through newspapers or magazines? 小题1: You will not only save time, but also your focus will increase and you will have fun reading even the uninteresting reports.
小题2: This plays to the advantage of the tired reader who wants to stay current but has very little time to read. Often all you need to understand a news piece is the first paragraph. Here the reporter will tell you what’s happening, who it’s happening to and where it’s happening.
Sometimes you don’t even need to read the entire paragraph because the first sentence or the first couple of sentences give you all the information. If you still have more time you can move on to step two. 小题3:Read the last paragraph. Some news pieces are follow-ups of events that were earlier reported. In such a situation, the first paragraph may not give you all the information you need. 小题4: It’s usually in the last paragraph that the user is given the background information that leads to the story.
Read the “quotes” after you’ve read the first and last paragraphs and you still feel you need more information or have more time to play with, you can come into middle of the piece by reading the direct speech of the sources of the news item. In all forms of writing where quotations are used, the writer leads the reader into the quotes and then leads the reader out. This takes too much space and therefore, robs the reader out of some precious time.
小题5: | A．Read the first paragraph. | | B．But the last paragraph will do the job. | | C．The first paragraph may be not important at all. | | D．Otherwise, you can stop reading. |
E. Here are three techniques you can use.
F. So glide directly to the quotation marks and read what’s within them.
G. If you follow these steps, it’ s possible to get about 80 percent of a news piece. |
