1. Memorize words carefully and master about 5,000 words, which is almost enough; There are many ways to remember words. Associative memory and rote memorization have their own advantages. It is recommended that you recite words by computer, so that you can master the correct pronunciation of words and it is very helpful for listening. I recommend you a software for memorizing words, New Oriental Word Pass.
2. If you want to take an exam and get a certificate, you can take part in some exam training in New Oriental on the basis of memorizing good words, and you can make a leap in your grades in a short time and master many exam skills.
3。 If you want to improve your English ability, you should pay attention to the following points: a, read more books, and if you have time and perseverance, write down three or four new concepts; B Listen more. You can listen to the radio and English audio books. A good way is to watch more English movies. You can start with a simple movie and take your time. The language and speed of general romantic movies are very suitable. C write more, you can keep a diary in English, make English pen pals and make many friends. D If you have the conditions, you can not only practice oral English with a foreigner, but also learn about the thinking mode, living habits and culture of foreigners. If you have no conditions, you can simulate the situation in your mind, practice by yourself and learn more from movies! I began to swear in English. Ha ha. Time is limited, that's all I can think of. You can also find people with good English to discuss and make progress together! In fact, I realized a truth by myself: learning English is not a mental labor, but a manual labor process. Nothing is impossible as long as you work hard. The method can only be understood by yourself, and only your own method is the most suitable for you. I hope my immature opinion can help you.
The following is the method information I found on the Internet, and the stone from other mountains may be able to attack jade.
How to learn English well
If you want to learn English well, you must first cultivate your interest in English. "Interest is the best teacher", and interest is a great motivation to learn English. With interest, learning will get twice the result with half the effort. We all have this experience: if you like something, it is easy to stick to it; Things you don't like are hard to stick to. Interest is not innate and needs to be cultivated. Some students said, "I have a headache when I see English." How can I cultivate my interest in English? " Another classmate said, "Remember English words today and forget them tomorrow. I'm so stupid. Alas, I'm hopeless. " This is all a sign of lack of confidence. When I first started learning English, I didn't have the right learning methods, the confidence to win, the courage to overcome difficulties and the motivation to make progress. If I fail a little, I will surrender my gun to setbacks and bow to difficulties. You will find English a boring subject. After studying for a period of time, your enthusiasm for learning will gradually decrease, and naturally you will not get good grades. However, with the help of teachers, we should realize the necessity of learning English, treat English learning with a correct attitude and guide learning with scientific methods. At first, take part in some English activities, such as singing English songs, playing English games, reading English humorous articles and practicing oral dialogue. After a long time and more knowledge, I will be interested. Of course, you will have the motivation and desire to learn. Then, like farmers, we must be diligent, tireless, hardworking and sweaty, and we will certainly succeed and reap fruitful results. After all, no pains, no gains.
Practicing basic skills is a necessary condition for learning English well. Without a solid English foundation, it is impossible to continue learning, let alone achieve something. If you want to have solid basic skills, you must concentrate on listening carefully, do a good job in each class, improve classroom efficiency, and do the following "five things" step by step:
First, "the heart is here." In class, we should concentrate and never slack off. Our brains should always be in a positive state and our thinking should be active and open. We should follow the teacher, understand every word, grasp every link, understand every knowledge point, associate more and think more, in order to get the message.
Second, "hand to". When learning English, you must take class notes. Because people's memory is limited, people can't always remember everything. Memory itself is a process of constant struggle with forgetting. As the saying goes, "a good brain is not as good as a bad pen." What the teacher said may be remembered in class and forgotten later, so it is necessary to take notes. English knowledge is also accumulated bit by bit. Every word, phrase and sentence structure you learn is recorded in a notebook, even in the blank or between the lines of the book, which is very convenient for future review and consolidation.
Third, "Ears come". In class, it is very necessary to listen carefully, not only to the teacher's explanation of knowledge, but also to the essentials of English pronunciation, such as pronunciation, intonation, stress, linking, loss of speech, sentence breaking, etc., so as to cultivate your pure and authentic spoken English. Hear and understand every knowledge point taught by the teacher, and form feedback in your mind to help you remember; Understand the teacher's questions, so as to answer them quickly, and compare the students' answers to the questions, so as to deepen the understanding of the questions, learn from others and make up for their own shortcomings.
Fourth, "eyes to". While listening carefully, we should also follow the teacher closely with our eyes and observe the teacher's movements, mouth shapes, expressions, blackboard writing, drawing, teaching aid display and so on. The combination of visual information and auditory information formed in the brain will make the impression more profound.
Fifth, "mouth to mouth". You can't learn a language well without opening your mouth. The biggest problem for students is that they don't make any noise when reading, so they are embarrassed to speak. Especially in the morning reading class, students only read with their eyes or silently, so there is only visual information, and there is no feedback of auditory information in their brains. Of course, the memory will not be too deep, and the oral muscles will not be exercised, so it is difficult to practice pure English. So make full use of the clear-headed time in the morning and read aloud; Answer the teacher's questions bravely in class, actively participate in the discussion and debate among students, and ask unclear questions in time after class. We should overcome shyness and not be ashamed to ask questions. Read more texts you have learned, be diligent and take great pains. You can read them with a tape recorder and try to imitate their pronunciation and intonation to correct their pronunciation. You should read them in cadence and fluently, and you'd better recite some classic articles. Seize every possible opportunity to practice oral English, for example, communicate with foreign teachers, participate in "English corner" activities, talk with classmates, tell English stories, sing English songs, perform English short plays and recite poems. Besides carefully reading the model essays in textbooks, we should also read more extracurricular books suitable for our middle school students, which can not only increase our knowledge, but also broaden our horizons and improve our reading level.
Learning English, vocabulary memory is essential, vocabulary is the basis of learning English well. Without vocabulary, there would be no sentences, let alone articles, so memorizing words is extremely important for us. There are two keys to remembering words:
First, perseverance: recite a certain amount of vocabulary every day and review it again in a few days, so that short-term memory can become long-term memory and be firmly mastered. It should be noted that once you start, you must stick to it, never give up halfway, and never fish for three days and dry your net for two days.
The second is a good memory method: there are many ways to remember words. There is no fixed learning method, but there are good learning methods. In my opinion, Zhang Sizhong's "centralized word recognition and classified memory" is a good method suitable for middle school students. Collect and classify 3500 words that middle school students should master, pass the word barrier first, then learn the textbook, and use and consolidate the usage in the textbook. There are many classification methods. Words with the same vowel or vowel combination and the same pronunciation are grouped together. Concentrate on memory according to word form, part of speech, synonyms and antonyms; Words or phrases with the same word formation methods, such as root, prefix, suffix, synthesis, transformation, derivation, etc., are listed together to concentrate on memory, which is more impressive and more obvious. So remember 40-80 words every day, persevere, associate more, think more, use more, won't the vocabulary problem be solved? In the process of learning, pay more attention to the usage of words and the collocation of phrases, and remember the word idioms and sentence patterns that the teacher said, which will not only help us solve problems, but also be handy in writing.
Memorizing words, understanding parts of speech and meanings, mastering their fixed collocations and idioms, and memorizing tense and clauses are only half done. We still have to apply them to practice. Just like learning swimming and optical theory, not using it in water does not mean mastering this technology. There is no need to engage in sea tactics, but a certain amount of typical exercises are essential to consolidate the knowledge learned. Pay attention to basic exercises first, such as after-class exercises and unit synchronization exercises. These are all consolidation exercises of classroom knowledge, and we should not aim too high, just want to eat a fat man. Some people do some special exercises in grammar and exam questions after mastering the basic knowledge. In particular, students are encouraged to prepare a set of "wrong questions" and record the representative test questions or language points that they are prone to make mistakes at ordinary times, so as to check and fill in the gaps in the future and make the mastery of knowledge achieve twice the result with half the effort.
English is a language. You must either remember words, phrases, sentence patterns and grammar items or learn them well. The key lies in the use of language, so you must pay attention to the all-round development of listening, speaking, reading, writing and translation when learning English. English learning is first a process of memorization, and then a process of practice. In any case, learning English is essential. This is a gradual process, which accumulates over time. There is no shortcut, and there is no so-called "quick cure". You can't learn English well if you are eager for success and don't do practical things. Any success depends on your own efforts, you should study step by step, be diligent and earnest, have a correct attitude, and take setbacks and failures seriously. Failure is not terrible, what is terrible is losing confidence in yourself and never recovering. For the failure of the exam, calmly analyze and seriously think, as long as you are full of confidence in the victory, good at summing up experience and lessons, and constantly strive and pursue, the victory will definitely belong to you.
Bidirectional English
It was very popular in the 1980s. In view of the characteristics that English textbooks used by China people are few, outdated and impractical, daily language and business language are the main contents of the textbooks. At the same time, there are supporting voice tapes. At that time, there were few such textbooks in China. There are many similar textbooks now. Aaa English first appeared in 1992. It has several important concepts, namely "positive migration", "guarantee", "achievement" and "acceleration". The so-called positive transfer means that when a person, especially an adult, learns or accepts a new thing, he always analyzes and evaluates it with his existing ideas and knowledge, or digests and absorbs the "backward" elements based on the "pre-entry structure". In this way, it may cause language errors and cultural misunderstandings. However, as long as learners consciously compare and contrast two languages and two cultures, they can consciously reveal the cultural factors hidden behind the language and cause misunderstandings and conflicts, consciously change and adjust their own inherent framework, and take the mother tongue as a supporting force as an advantage, which not only does not exclude, but also boldly uses it, which can cause "positive transfer". Guarantee means that the teaching materials are close to learners' psychology in content, vocabulary and arrangement (aaa English is mainly aimed at adult Chinese), so that they feel safe as soon as they come into contact with the teaching materials. Achieve me
Nt (sense of accomplishment) means that the teaching materials are arranged according to the scene. Every time you learn a unit, you are familiar with a scene, and you know all the conversations and contents of this scene like the back of your hand. You can use it after learning, and you can have a sense of accomplishment. With these two feelings,
In addition, the teaching materials are easy to understand, the grammar is explained in detail, and the mother tongue is supported, so it is easy to achieve a quick effect, that is, acceleration. Guarantee, achievement and acceleration all start with a, so the textbook is called "aaa"
English ".
What impressed me most about aaa English was the advertisements for mail-order textbooks in various magazines. It must be perfect for mail order. I find it difficult to comment on the statement of "positive migration". I am awake in theory, but it is difficult to find that feeling in practice. No matter how you look at it, you think it is just a balanced textbook in Chinese and English. As for the guarantee, it varies from person to person. Achievement (sense of accomplishment) requires learners to fully grasp the learning content and use it in time. For overseas Chinese who have a language environment, it should be more practical. The original meaning of acceleration (easy to understand and detailed in grammar explanation ...) is emphasized in many textbooks, so I won't say much here.
Crazy English
It became popular in the mid-1990s. After expounding "a typical story of China learning English" and "the painful voice of English learners", this paper puts forward its own solutions. Its learning philosophy is to have a crazy learning spirit and some skills that lead to madness, followed by sentence-centered learning methods (such as "three-most oral training" and "one-breath training"). Advocating crazy learning spirit is commendable, and its essence is that learners must enter a certain state, that is, create their own learning environment. As for sentence-centered, its intention is twofold. On the one hand, it is to bind the language form with the content of some typical sentences (see Figure 2), instead of memorizing the language form directly. In this way, when memorizing the form of language, we have a fixed reference content, so it is easy to remember the form of language. On the other hand, these sentences express some typical scenes or ideas. If you remember them, you will remember the content of the language.
Crazy English has been welcomed by many people. It has aroused the enthusiasm of China people to learn English, and also pointed out the misunderstandings of many learners. However, the proposed solution still has some limitations. First, although many people admit the importance of being "crazy", it is very difficult to remain "crazy" for a long time because of many problems such as personality and environment. The essence of this requirement is to eliminate people's inertia by passion, or to change some people's personalities. Secondly, although it collects many typical popular sentences, it is difficult to remember. There is no organic connection between these sentences. It's hard to remember so many sentences that lack connection and practical application environment. So many people persist for a short time and then give up. Thirdly, some of its ideas about English learning still need to be tested by many learners. For example, you don't have to spend a lot of time learning English.
English learning reverse method
It is pointed out that there are three reasons for the poor English learning effect: first, the foundation is not solid, second, the eagerness to achieve success, and third, the lack of guidance and encouragement. For these reasons, the reverse methods work against them one by one.
For the problem that the foundation is not solid, the reverse method takes the sound on the tape as the learning content (there is no textbook and no teacher to explain it step by step), takes the tape recorder and various dictionaries as the teacher to "listen, write, say, recite and think", and records the content on the tape recorder by himself, and completely digests it. The content on the tape can be the textbook I have learned before, or the language content I can barely understand.
For the problem of quick success, we should strengthen the reverse method, improve it out of thin air, emphasize the study of basic English in a down-to-earth manner, advocate the idea of long-term hard study, and especially emphasize the need to race against time, word by word and sentence by sentence in concrete implementation.
For the problem without guidance and encouragement, the reverse method thinks that learning English can become an interest and a pleasure. Specifically, in the process of listening to the recording, you will encounter something you don't understand. Write down what you don't understand, you will understand after your efforts, and clearly record your achievements on paper, so that you will have a sense of accomplishment, you will be interested and enjoy it.
It should be said that the reverse order method has caught the common problem of China students learning English. This is that the basic skills are not solid. The foundation is not solid, as shown in Figure 2, that is, I know a little about the form and content of the language, sometimes even a lot, but both of them are in a daze and cannot be effectively combined. The solution put forward by the reverse method is to go back to the place where learners can do it, and write out the language content they hear through "listening, writing, speaking, remembering and thinking", so that learners can have a deep understanding of the language content and language form. In this sense, this way is the same as the repeated practice of Crazy English.
Same.
The reverse method does not deny the traditional teaching methods, but only puts forward some improved methods. This method of listening to tapes to fill in the gaps can greatly strengthen the foundation of learners. More importantly, it is more in line with China's national conditions and has strong operability. At present, I can feel the regret that, first, I put too much emphasis on being divorced from the written materials and only "pick out" the written content on the tape bit by bit. Perhaps this need to "dig" is the place where learners are vague. But for beginners, there are many things that he has never touched. No contact can be vague, and no matter how hard you dig, you can't dig it out. The real purpose of repeated digging is to remember. This practice is not worth the loss in efficiency. If you can't dig it out, just look at the written materials. It should be a better way to give consideration to both efficiency and learning effect to record these hard-to-find written materials, imitate their correct pronunciation and recite them. Second, the reverse order method is a detailed method. It thinks that it has practiced listening, vocabulary, sentence patterns and oral English at the same time, but from another perspective, it distracts learners' spirit, and can't quickly form a framework concept about English, nor can it make rapid progress in a certain branch. For example, mud houses in rural areas and high-rise buildings in cities have different construction methods. Mud houses can be built bit by bit, and finally beams can be built and roofs can be built. However, high-rise buildings in cities are built with reinforced concrete shelves first, and then the interior is filled and trimmed bit by bit. Therefore, the reverse order method is especially suitable for people with considerable English foundation. They already have a certain concept of frame in English, but the frame and its internal fillers are still very vague. For beginners and people who are eager to take exams, learning it requires good patience and plenty of time.
Through the introduction and analysis of the above learning methods or tutorials, readers can choose the method that suits them. Of course, these methods are not mutually exclusive. It is correct to know more about these methods and formulate suitable learning methods and corresponding learning plans according to your actual situation.
From the above discussion, we can draw the following conclusions:
1. Careful selection, organization and arrangement of teaching materials can improve.
Learning efficiency, but we can't think that we can achieve the so-called "crash" by this alone.
2. Many new English learning courses and methods in China are devoted to creating an "artificial" language environment. Crazy English
English achieves this goal by reciting a large number of sentences, while reverse English achieves this goal by listening and recording.
Audio recording and recording its contents can achieve this goal. The former emphasizes complete recitation, while the latter emphasizes dictation. Comparatively speaking, the former is not easy to operate. The latter is more operable and more suitable for the national conditions.
