7. Focus on one problem at a time. When you speak English, find the mistakes you make most often. One mistake Chinese often make is omitting the "s" from the third person singular verb. Or you may speak too slowly as if you were searching for the right word and correct grammar. The next time you use English, try to work on those problems you have identified. If it's fluency, try to focus on it. If you have a problem with the third person singular, try to concentrate on when you make such errors. Don't spend time thinking about other mistakes. By choosing an area to work on, you can isolate problems and help yourself overcome them.
7、一次關(guān)注一個(gè)問題。當(dāng)你說英語時(shí)，找到你最常犯的錯(cuò)誤。中國人常犯的一個(gè)錯(cuò)誤是第三人稱單數(shù)動(dòng)詞漏掉“s”�；蛘吣憧赡苷f得太慢，好像你在尋找合適的單詞和正確的語法似的。你下一次使用英語時(shí)，力求改正那些你已經(jīng)認(rèn)識(shí)到的問題。如果是流利的問題，那就力求講快些。如果你的問題是在第三人稱單數(shù)，那就盡力專注于你犯此類錯(cuò)誤的時(shí)候。不要費(fèi)時(shí)思考其他錯(cuò)誤。選定解決問題的范疇，你就能使問題孤立起來，各個(gè)擊破，這樣有助于自己克服問題。
8. Vary your practice. If you go to an English comer or an English club, try to change the types of activities you take part in so that you practice both fluency and accuracy. Public speaking allows you to slow down and be sure you have time to concentrate on the language. Meanwhile, discussions are good practice for fluency, especially if you don't stop each time a mistake is made.
8、參加各種實(shí)踐活動(dòng)。如果你去參加英語角或英語俱樂部，設(shè)法改變你參加的活動(dòng)類型，以便訓(xùn)練英語的流利性和準(zhǔn)確性。公共演講會(huì)使你放慢速度，并保證你有時(shí)間關(guān)注語言。同時(shí)，討論是很好的訓(xùn)練流利的實(shí)踐活動(dòng)，如果你不是一出錯(cuò)就停，更是如此。
9. Learn the difference between fluency and speed. Some Chinese think that speaking fast is the same as speaking fluently. In fact, speaking fluently involves not only speed. It also involves stress, pronunciation and intonation. If you make a mistake in these, speaking fast will only make it worse. Don't sacrifice understanding for speed.
9、弄懂流利與速度的差異。有些中國人認(rèn)為。說話迅速就是說話流利。事實(shí)上，說話流利不僅需要說話速度，它同時(shí)還涉及重音、語音和語調(diào)。如果你在這些方面犯有錯(cuò)誤，那么說得快只會(huì)使你錯(cuò)得更厲害。不要為了速度而犧牲理解。
10. Try recording yourself. Take a tape recorder and record a conversation with a friend or a speech or monologue as you do it naturally! A two-or-three-minute recording is enough. When you've finished, listen to yourself. Can you identify and correct any errors? Make it a regular practice. The more you record yourself, the more confident and natural sounding you will become.
10、自己嘗試錄音。用錄音機(jī)錄下你與朋友的對(duì)話，或錄下你自己的落落大方的演講或獨(dú)白。錄音兩三分鐘就足夠了。錄音完畢，專心傾聽你自己的錄音。你能辨認(rèn)并矯正錯(cuò)誤嗎?把這種錄音當(dāng)做常規(guī)練習(xí)。你自己錄音越多，你就越有自信，你的英語聽上去會(huì)更自然。
