練口語的時候,常去英語角,而在那里,除了用到前面所提到的一些技巧(包括引用電影臺詞和復述改述相關材料)之外,最常規(guī)的聊天方式就是問與答(以下稱Q&A),而今天要介紹的就是如何利用這樣的方法和原則來程度的提升口語練習機會。
原則一:準備一些問題
有的放矢的去英語角,這點已經毋庸置疑了,除了準備一些材料之外,還要懂得準備問題,因為畢竟不是所有人都對我們準備的材料感興趣,或者從另一個角度說,如果通過提問將話題引到我們準備的材料上,給人感覺非常自然,即使他不是很感興趣,也會在早期比較配合我們的對話,也就給了我們鍛煉的機會。否則的話,就會出現(xiàn)以下的情況:
A: Hi, nice to meet you.
B: Nice to see you too.
A: What shall we talk about?
B: I dont know. Its up to you.
A: I can talk about everything.
B: Me too.
A: So what shall we talk about?
B: Whatever you like. So what do you like to talk about?
A:
兩人無言,只有淚千行。但是如果我們有所準備或者考慮,情況可能就完全不一樣。比如,我們所熟悉的材料是關于廣告的,那么要設計一些廣告方面的問題,一般三個就足夠了,具體的對話可以是這樣的:、
A: Hi, nice to meet you.
B: Nice to see you too.
A: What shall we talk about?
B: Well, I would like to ask you a few questions if I may.
A: Sure, go ahead.
B: Have you ever been annoyed by those commercials between TV series when you are desperate to know about whats going on next?
A: Yes. It spoils the whole evening sometimes.
B: Have you ever been bothered by those junk commercial messages during midnight when you are just about to have a sweet dream?
A: Well, yes.
B: Have you ever been confused by those booming advertisements or commercials so that you can hardly decide which one to follow and which product to buy?
A: I agree.
B: Then it is high time that we should prohibit commercials during golden hours. (然后加入自己所準備的話題和內容)
原則二:給出多句話的回答
這個原則主要是針對那些回答問題慣用一兩句話或者一兩個字的人,但凡這樣的情況出現(xiàn),這個Q&A的過程就會變成一個審問的過程。使得提問人和答問人都會顯得非常郁悶。比如:
A: Whats you name?
B: York.
A: How old are you?
B: 27.
A: Where do you come from?
B: Chengdu
A: Do you like the English Corner here?
B: No.
A: Why?
B: Because I see you.
這種乒乓球式的一來一回,最后都不會有什么好的結果。練習口語是我們的目的,所以一定要利用別人提問的機會多說一些,這樣才會對所說的話題更加熟悉,同時還可以兼顧到語音語調以及詞匯句型的升級,也讓聽者覺得你是有表達欲望和交流欲望的。比如:
A: Whats your name?
B: Feel free to call me York. This is a name easy to remember as it never fails to remind people of the names of a state and a city in the United States—the New York State and the New York City. Actually it was given by my first English teacher in middle school and it is my personal favorite English name and I have used it since then.
后面的任何問題都可以如法炮制,只要回答者能夠用多句話來回答問題,交流的感覺會變得更加好。平時要有意識的訓練自己用5句話回答任何問題,這樣的話就可以在面對任何問題的時候都不會沒有話說(當然,這個訓練的目的是為了大家抓住鍛煉口語多說,不意味著任何問題從實質上講都需要說5句話,5是個虛數(shù)也是個實數(shù)),包括那些你不知道答案的問題,比如:
A: Do you know how many stars are there in the sky? (口頭逼到可以不太講究語序)
B: This is a question too complicated for me to answer. As far as I know, the number of stars is uncertain since science and technology are developing everyday and we can not be so sure about the number of stars we have discovered, not to mention those unknown to us. The fact of matter is we need to see beyond those numbers, which means what those number means to us matters much more than the number itself. That is basically how I look at this question.
