如何轻松提高英语口语能力

　　What is the most important English skill? What skill must you have to communicate well?

　　学习英语最重要的技巧是什么? 怎么才能很好地用英语进行沟通? 英语之家

　　Obviously, number 1 is Fluency. What is fluency? Fluency is the ability to speak (and understand) 英语之家

　　English quickly and easily... WITHOUT translation. Fluency means you can talk easily with

　　native speakers-- they easily understand you, and you easily understand them. In fact, you 英语之家

　　speak and understand instantly.

　　显然，首当其冲是要流利。流利就是在不翻译的情况下，你能快速地说出英语，并且很容易理解。流利象征着你能够很轻松和本国人进行英语对话，他们能够理解你，你也可以理解他们。事实上，流利就是你可以快捷地开口讲英语并懂得其意思。

　　Fluency is your most important English goal. 英语之家

　　流利是学习英语的最主要的目标。

　　The research is clear--there is only ONE way to get fluency. You do not get fluency by reading

英语之家

　　textbooks. You do not get fluency by going to English schools. You do not get fluency by

　　studying grammar rules.

　　研究表明只有通过一种方法能力达到英语流畅的目的。读英语课文、上英语辅导学校、学英语语法都不可能让你的英语口语变流利。

　　Listening Is The Key 听力是关键

　　To get English fluency, you must have a lot of understandable repetitive listening. That is the

　　ONLY way. To be a FANTASTIC English speaker, you must learn English with your ears, not 英语之家

　　with your eyes. In other words, you must listen. Your ears are the key to excellent speaking.

　　为了让自己的英语口语流利，你必需在懂得的基础上大批地训练听力。要用你的耳朵而不是眼睛学习英语，这样你才能成为一名精良的英语报告者。换句话说，你必须多听英语。 英语之家

　　What kind of listening is best? Well, it must be understandable and must be repetitive.

　　Both of those words are important--Understandable and Repetitive. If you don't 英语之家

　　understand, you learn nothing. You will not improve. That's why listening to English TV 英语之家

　　does not help you. You don't understand most of it. It is too difficult. It is too fast.

　　怎么训练听力呢?理解和重复，这两点很重要。如果你不理解，你什么也学不到，也不会有提高。听英语新闻对你不多大帮助。因为英语消息太难太快了，大部分内容都很难理解。 英语之家

　　It’s obvious right? If you do not understand, you will not improve. So, the best listening material is

　　EASY. That’s right; you should listen mostly to easy English. Most students listen to English that is much too difficult. They don’t understand enough, and so they learn slowly. Listen to easier English, and your speaking will improve faster!

　　如果理解不了所听内容，你的英语就不会有所提高。因此，最好的听力材料应该是简单的。大多数学生听难度较大的听力材料，因为他们没有充分理解其内容，所以他们学的很慢。听一些简单的听力，你的书面语会提高很快。

　　Understanding is not enough. You must also have a lot of repetition. If you hear a new word

　　only once, you will soon forget it. If you hear it 5 times, you will still probably forget it!

　　只有理解仍是不够的，你还必须反复听。如果一个新单词你只听一次，你会很快就把它忘了。假如听五次，你仍有可能忘掉。

英语之家

　　You must hear new words and new grammar many times before you will understand them instantly. 英语之家

　　你需要很多次地听新词或语法，才干很快地理解它们，记住它们。

　　How many times is necessary? Most people must hear a new word 30 times to remember it

英语之家

　　forever. To know a word and instantly understand it, you probably need to hear it 50-100 英语之家

　　times! That's why I tell my students to listen to all of my lessons many times. I tell them to 英语之家

　　listen to the Mini-Stories, the Vocab Lessons, The Point-of-View Stories, and the Audio

　　articles everyday. I recommend that they listen to each lesson a total of 30 times (for example,英语培训, 英语之家

　　2 times a day for two weeks). 英语之家

　　大多数人学习一个新单词需要听30次才能不会忘记。要想认识并理解一个单词，你需要听50-100次。这就是我要求学生要多次听我的课的原因。我告诉他们每天要多听微型小说、词汇课程、观点故事和音频文章。我建议他们每节课要听30次(比如，每天听2次，坚持两周就行)。

英语之家

　　So, the two most important points are: listen to easier English and listen to each thing

　　many times.

英语之家

　　因而，听英语最重要的两点是：听简单的英语材料和大量地练习听力。

　　Suggestions For Powerful Listening and Excellent Speaking

　　练习听力和口语的提议

　　1. Practice “Narrow Listening”

　　1、练习“窄听”

　　“Narrow listening” means listening to many things about the same topic. This method is more powerful than trying to listen to many different kinds of things. Students who listen to similar things learn faster and speak better than students who listen to different kinds of things.

　　“窄听”是指多听相同主题的材料。这比听很多不同主题的文章更有意思。听类似文章的学生比听不同种文章的学生会学得更快。

英语之家

　　For example, you can choose one speaker and find many things by him. Listen to all of his pod- casts, audio books, and speeches. This is powerful because all speakers have favorite vocabulary and grammar. They naturally repeat these many times. By listening to many things by the same person, you automatically get a lot of vocabulary repetition. You learn faster and deeper!

　　比如，你可以找一个演讲者，从他身上你可以学到很多。听他所有的播客、有声读物、讲演。这对你学习英语大有利益。由于所有演讲者都有自己最喜欢的词汇和语法。他们会自然地多次反复这些词。通过听同一个人的很多东西，你可以获得大量的词汇。你会学得更快!

　　Another example is to choose one topic to focus on. For example, you could read an easy book, listen to the same audio book, listen to a podcast about the book, and watch the movie.

　　另一个例子是把注意力集中到一个主题上。例如，你读一本简单的书，只听它的音频，听它的播客，看关于它的电影。 英语之家

　　I did this with my class in San Francisco. We read “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”. Then we listened to the audio book. Then we watched (and listened to) the movie. Then we listened to interviews with actors in the movie. My students learned a lot of vocabulary in a short time, and their speaking improved very quickly.

英语之家

　　我的学生们都是这样练习英语的。咱们读《查理和巧克力工厂》。而后我们听它的音频文章，看对于它的电影。之后咱们听演员们的访问。我的学生们从中学到了许多词汇，并且他们的口语有了很大的提高。

英语之家

　　2. Divide Your Listening Time 英语之家

　　2、划分听力时间

英语之家

　　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! 英语之家

　　分时间段训练听力有助于记忆。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

英语之家

　　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! 英语之家

　　CD也可能放到播放器里。在网上你可以找到很多对英语听力的课程、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!

英语之家

　　4. Listen To Movies 英语之家

　　4、听电影 英语之家

　　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。然而，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。 英语之家

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

　　每周只看电影的一个片段(或者2-3分钟)

　　Follow this method: 英语之家

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

英语之家

　　a)第一遍看母语字幕，这样辅助你懂得大意。

英语之家

　　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)重复听，不带字幕。 英语之家

　　e) Repeat a) - d) everyday for one week. 英语之家

　　e)天天重复a)-d)，并保持一个星期。

　　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! 英语之家

　　第二周，进行下一个片断。这样，要想看完一部片子须要很长时光，然而它会很快进步你的听力跟书面语。

英语之家

　　5. Read and Listen at the Same Time 英语之家

　　5、同时进行听和读 英语之家

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

　　This will improve your pronunciation.

　　一边听资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. 英语之家

　　边听边读也会帮你理解一些较难的材料。听跟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!

　　只有6个月你就能够和外国人轻松地进行交流。你可以尝试了一些老方式：读课文，上辅导学校，学习语法等。何不尝试一些其余的新措施呢!

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