Many people practice oral English and often emphasize the word "practice". In fact, the improvement of spoken English also includes many aspects. In view of this problem, I will tell you about "how to improve oral English", hoping it will be useful to you.
Once upon a time, all of us were filled with the word "practical Russian". It is not unusual to know the exam, but I am proud of listening, speaking, reading and writing. Indeed, language is a comprehensive ability. Russian, like Chinese, has mastered listening, speaking, reading and writing and is easy to use. In any case, it is leisurely. Last time I mentioned solving listening problems, this time my old Li made up this prescription for spoken Russian.
Speaking spoken English first, the improvement of spoken English is a word of "practice". This inevitable relationship is like eating something, and your stomach will be full. If you are hungry, it's temporary, isn't it? It seems that all people have practiced spoken English by themselves to some extent, but the level of this practice is uneven, and there are still a large number of powerful Russian writers who still can't speak Russian. In fact, in Lao Li's view, the word "practice" is not only practice, but also contains a kind of "diligence" and a kind of "intelligence". How to be "diligent" and "smart"? Look:
First, "diligence"
The ancients said, read "three times", pillow, toilet, right away. Although according to the modern concept of health, this kind of "three stand" is easy to cause various eye diseases and unsanitary, prone to hemorrhoids, which is not good for the body. But from another point of view, what the ancients said just shows that you should be diligent and attentive in reading. Old Qin Li's "diligence" in practicing oral English is an attitude. I have made up my mind to stick to it, and then Lao Li's "cleverness" is a good prescription.
Second, "Qiao"
Anything that emphasizes methods can get twice the result with half the effort. Practice oral English because it is a tool. Of course, the sooner you master the tools, the better. With a stroke of a pen, Lao Li prescribed the following cores:
1. Choose the exercise materials carefully.
The choice of exercise materials is related to our future Chinese level and the blueprint for our future Chinese, so we must be cautious and selective. The material can be poetry, American literature, or even anything you like but want to do in language. Usually, Lao Li will first advise you to choose articles with new concepts. From the first volume to the fourth volume, the difficulty is different, but each article is classic, authentic in language and full of beauty. At the same time, each article has a recorded version, and it is pronounced in Russian and American, which meets everyone's needs. Having an authentic new concept-like Russian-is still Lao Li's unremitting goal.
2. Listen to the tape and practice oral English.
After selecting the materials for practice, first thoroughly solve the new words, usages and meanings in the materials. There are skills, but this is not the topic to be discussed today. After all this work is finished, we should learn to express those sentences and usages in spoken English. The first step is to read aloud. There is a problem in the conversion from written language to spoken language: pronunciation and intonation. Why do many foreigners who learn Chinese speak Chinese with correct meanings, while China people know that they are foreigners as soon as they listen? This is because foreigners can't grasp the pronunciation and intonation well, which is not authentic Chinese. So is learning Russian. Lao Li recommends the easiest way to master pronunciation and intonation: listen to the tape and imitate. Don't worry, sentence by sentence, pay attention to carefully distinguish pause, rising tone, falling tone, stress, ellipsis and so on. Can't you remember to mark the book? Come up with some ideas yourself. Quantitative change will eventually lead to qualitative change. It is possible to speak authentic Russian and American sounds like your mother tongue. Lao Li is an example, hehe.
3. The bumpy course from familiar reading to reciting.
When you hear reciting, most people are two big heads. In fact, the recitation proposed by Lao Li is different from the traditional "endorsement". Hehe, how can it be recited? Extremely skilled. According to the marks we made in the book in the second step and the hard practice of reading the recorded materials in strict accordance with the standard pronunciation, when we can easily recite the new concept 4, our Russian must have been spoken! However, how many people can really walk this hard road? Lao Li didn't bring it. Don't lose heart, maybe you can be the first.
4. Improve through actual combat.
Spoken Russian is a tool, spoken by people. Not only need a single eloquence, but also need to learn, practice and improve in communication with people. Many people suggest that they will be extremely nervous whenever they want to communicate with others or contact foreigners in Russian! Lao Li replied: it is the lack of necessary reserves. Usually, whether in the process of reading aloud, or in contact with TV and newspapers, when encountering classic sentence patterns and good expressions, use your brain, write them down and store them more, so that you have all the necessities to use. At the same time, preparing some commonly used sentence patterns, greetings and idioms temporarily before talking with people, especially foreigners, can also play a role in stabilizing the situation. In fact, in the actual process, you will find that foreigners who are most afraid of speaking will never argue with you from a grammatical point of view. As long as they can communicate smoothly and accumulate their usual pronunciation and intonation, their thumbs will often stand up and praise your Russian as "great". How beautiful! Many such experiences are a source of your confidence. With confidence, everything will be solved.
However, Lao Li has one thing to remind. Note: You must practice with people who speak better than yourself or foreigners, otherwise the above effect cannot be guaranteed. Many people say that they have little contact with foreigners. What should we do? Lao Li said, creating opportunities for ourselves or learning to talk to ourselves in various situations will have similar effects. Go to the Russian corner and talk to someone, okay? Lao Li was silent and said with a frown, let's do it ourselves.
Listening, speaking, reading and writing are all analogies.
Russian includes listening, speaking, reading and writing. The above mentioned accumulation, listening to news, watching movies and reading newspapers and magazines can really provide a good language foundation and rich materials for our oral English. On the other hand, the improvement of spoken English also brings surprises to other aspects of Russian learning, especially writing. Just try it. You also have a surprise.
