1. Five Ways to Improve Spoken English
First, imitation. The first effective way to improve oral English is to learn to imitate and find some original English recording materials to imitate words, phrases and sentences. And find some original English movies to imitate vividly, so as to make every effort to imitate their pronunciation, intonation and even expressions. Second, read aloud. The second step to improve oral English is reading aloud. Reciting is actually equivalent to imitation, so you need to find your own audio material to imitate pronunciation and intonation. When imitating reading aloud, you should learn to listen to the differences in your pronunciation and materials and practice correcting them repeatedly.
Third, retelling. Retelling is not reciting. Retelling is to describe the story you heard or the article you saw in your own language, get rid of the original text and organizational structure, and tell the story with your own understanding and thinking. You can attach the central idea of the article at first, and then gradually increase it. Retelling is one of the effective ways for a person to practice oral English and improve it.
Fourth, recite. Although many people hate reciting, reciting is an effective way to improve oral English anyway. However, I think it is necessary to recite those famous poems. People with poor foundation can try to recite some phrases and sentence patterns first.
Fifth, keep a diary. Keeping a diary in English is a good way to improve your spoken English and other aspects of English. Keeping a diary can not only exercise your ability to use phrases and grammar knowledge, but also exercise your English thinking ability.
In short, if you want to improve, you must first overcome your introverted psychology, speak loudly, read aloud, and fully activate your oral muscles. Secondly, you must keep working hard. Learning spoken English is not an overnight task. It is the most basic process to really practice oral English and communicate freely every one or two years.
2. Methods of practicing oral English
First, read.
Find a quiet place every morning and read the text aloud. Pay attention to two points when reading aloud: first, be loud; Second, the speed should be fast (but fast and not chaotic). Many people often feel that their tongues are out of control when they speak English. This is because the tongue training is not enough. We read the text quickly every morning, just like practicing tongue twisters, which will make our tongues smart gradually. In addition, reading the text aloud, through the movement of the tongue, will also produce mechanical memory to help us remember the sentence patterns and vocabulary in the text, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
Second, back
We can choose some excellent articles or common dialogues and spend some time memorizing them. The process of memory is also the process of memory. Our brains are like "computers", and those articles or conversations are like "data". We memorized those "data", that is, we input them into the "computer". In the future, when we speak English, we can "output" as soon as we need it.
Third, say
Some students don't want to talk, especially when there are many people. I am afraid for two reasons: First, I am afraid of making mistakes. Don't you know that speaking English is not only wrong in China, but also in Britain and America, so this kind of worry is totally unnecessary. Secondly, I'm embarrassed. I always feel that speaking English in public is a bit "on pins and needles". Especially when I meet someone who speaks better than myself, I am hesitant for fear of being "dwarfed". Other students always think that speaking Chinese is more convenient than speaking English. They can communicate with each other in English, but they still use Chinese. In this way, many opportunities to practice oral English are lost. Generally speaking, if you want to practice oral English well, you should speak English for no less than twenty minutes every day. Only by practicing more can "practice makes perfect" and produce results.
3. Quickly improve oral English skills
1, consciously immersed in English culture
Don't underestimate American TV series. They are an important window to understand the culture of English-speaking countries and an important preparation for practicing oral English. What is emphasized here is that you must watch it consciously, instead of laughing after reading it, losing the subtitles, thinking in English, imitating the accents of the characters in the play, and paying more attention to the idioms in the play can provide some information reserves for your future communication to deal with different problems.
Note that listening to English songs or watching American TV plays can improve English listening, vocabulary and oral English, killing two birds with one stone. Of course, if you only watch Chinese subtitles when watching American TV series, it won't help you if you don't listen carefully to pronunciation and sense of language. It is recommended to watch English subtitles, listen carefully to English dialogues and experience the subtle changes in tones. Over time, you will find that progress is invisible.
Try to write down your daily life with a pen, and then say it in spoken English.
Language learning is a process of continuous input and output, not only listening, but also speaking. When communicating with customers, we can imagine what we are most likely to say in foreign trade in advance, and then simulate various scenarios in our minds and try to express what we want to say in English.
Here, I suggest you find all the conversations and materials related to oral foreign trade online, and write the topics in a document, even every day. Many a mickle makes a mickle, which is also helpful for writing English emails. Finally, don't forget to find a classmate whose English is better than yours, a foreigner of course, to help you correct it.
Remember to use a pen, because if you don't write it down, you will definitely forget it! When reading some foreign trade-related materials, you can also copy down good sentences. You can use it flexibly when communicating with others next time, but don't use written language too much, which will make the other person sound too blunt.
3. Accumulate a certain vocabulary
It's simple. Use Ying Ying dictionary. When we have a certain vocabulary, even if there are grammatical mistakes, it will not affect the communication effect.
This method can also improve oral English, which many people don't attach importance to. 80% of non-English majors use English-Chinese bilingual dictionaries, and now most of them use Youdao Dictionary and Baidu Dictionary to look up words. When you meet a new word or phrase, your first reaction is to find out its Chinese meaning, but knowing Chinese meaning does not mean knowing English words. Because you can't use it! You must cooperate with English explanations and English example sentences to better understand an English word and speak it fluently when you encounter similar examples in your life!
4. How to train oral English?
1, accumulate English in life
With the development of the times and the progress of society, China's international status is improving day by day, and learning English has become a trend. If we want to communicate with foreigners in English, we should first learn some daily expressions, such as greetings, time, weather, plans and so on. After learning these everyday expressions, we should try to practice and use them.
If we don't speak, we will never learn spoken English. The practice of daily oral English is actually very simple. The key is to find someone to practice. You can find friends who are close to us, like-minded people who want to improve their spoken English, or ask parents for help. If you can't find a smooth partner at first, you can practice by yourself in the form of asking yourself and answering yourself. Speaking English boldly in life can not only improve our spoken English, but also improve our self-confidence.
Because language is based on sentences and sentences are based on words, how can you say sentences without learning a few words? In order to learn spoken English well, it is not enough to read simple English words. We will use more English dialogues in our daily life, which will involve all aspects. Therefore, we can sort out these daily expressions in the form of dialogue before we formally communicate with others, and then memorize their questions and answers, so that when we communicate with others in real life, our minds will not be blank and we don't know what to say.
2. Always read aloud and practice memory.
Many native English speakers find it difficult to understand why China should do a lot of reading exercises when learning English. In pronunciation principle, English and Chinese are quite different in syllable combination and pronunciation. In fact, China people's pronunciation organs are not familiar with English pronunciation, and they are not adapted to it. A lot of reading practice is actually to train the pronunciation parts and adapt the muscles of the pronunciation organs to the English pronunciation system. It is not enough to read a lot, but also to practice memory. When reading aloud, you should play the recorded materials in your mind. After the first two steps, the recorded materials have been deeply imprinted on the learners' minds. When reading aloud, you can follow the voice that comes to your mind. You don't need to listen to the recorded material, and don't completely forget the sound on the recording. Read aloud in the way you are used to.
5. How do you learn to improve your oral English?
For a long time, we have been learning English as dumb English. We only know how to read and watch English, but it is easy to ignore our spoken English. The first step to learn spoken English well is to dare to speak English and read English aloud. Never ignore this process. You know, reading English aloud is not only good for correcting your pronunciation, but also good for cultivating your intonation.
It is not enough to speak English, but also to speak more English. Everyone can take part in English corner activities and make more friends who want to improve their spoken English. If we get together to chat in English and help each other, it will be more conducive to improving their spoken English.
There are many ways to learn spoken English, but most people only rely on books. In fact, as long as you observe carefully, you will know that there are still many English learning resources available.
For example, students who like watching American TV dramas can watch some slow TV dramas, so that they can learn daily spoken English and practice English listening. You can also read some English magazines and news, which can not only increase your knowledge, but also practice reading and speaking.
If you want to learn spoken English well, you must speak more and practice more. As long as you keep practicing, you will learn it well. In the process of improving oral English, everyone should pay attention to accumulating more and improving more. As long as you master the methods and keep working hard, it is not impossible to have a fluent English.
