155篇大学应背英语课文(一)
1. People attend college or university for many different reasons
(for example, new experiences, career preparation, increased knowledge). Why do you think people attend college or university? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
People attend colleges or universities for a lot of different reasons. I believe that the three most common reasons are to prepare for a career, to have new experiences, and to increase their knowledge of themselves and the world around them.
Career preparation is becoming more and more important to young people. For many, this is the primary reason to go to college, They know that the job market is competitive. At college, they can learn new skill for careers with a lot of opportunities. This means careers, such as information technology, that are expected to need a large workforce in the coming years.
Also, students go to colleges and universities to have new experiences. This often means having the opportunity to meet people different from those in their hometowns. For most students, going to college is the first time they’ve been away from home by themselves. In additions, this is the first time they’ve had to make decisions on their own. Making these decisions increases their knowledge of themselves.
Besides looking for self-knowledge, people also attend a university or college to expand their knowledge in subjects they find interesting. For many, this will be their last chance for a long time to learn about something that doesn’t relate to theircareer. I would recommend that people not be so focused on a career. They should go
to college to have new experiences and learn about themselves and the world they live in.
2. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement?
Parents are the best teachers. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
Throughout my life, I have been lucky enough to have a very good relationship with my parents. They have supported me, given me necessary criticism, and taught me a great deal about how to live my life. Parents can be very important teachers in our lives; however, they are not always the best teachers. Parents may be too close to their children emotionally. Sometimes they can only see their children though the eyes of a protector. For example, they may limit a child's freedom in the name of safety. A teacher might see a trip to a big city as a valuable new experience. However, it might seem too dangerous to a parent. Another problem is that parents may expect their children's interests to be similar to their own. They can't seem to separate from their children in their mind. If they love science, they may try to force their child to love science too. But what if their child's true love is art, or writing, or car repair? Parents are usually eager to pass on their value to their children. But should children always believe what their parents do? Maybe different generations need different ways of thinking. When children are young, they believe that their parents are always rights. But when they get older, they realize there are other views. Sometimes parents, especially older ones, can't keep up with rapid social or technology changes. A student who has friends of all different races and backgrounds at school may find that her parents don't really understand or value the digital revolution. Sometimes kids have to find their own ways to what they believe in. The most important thing to realize is that we all have many teachers in our lives. Our parents teach us, our teachers teach us, and our peers teach us. Books and newspapers and television also teach us. All of them are valuable.
3. Nowadays, food has become easier to prepare. Has this change improved the way people live? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
The twentieth century has brought with it many advances. With those advances, human lives have changed dramatically. In some ways life is worse, but mostly it is better. Changes in food preparation methods, for example, have improved our lives greatly. The convenience of preparing food today is amazing. Even stoves have gotten too slow for us. Microwave cooking is much easier. We can press a few buttons and a meal is completely cooked in just a short time. People used to spend hours preparing an oven-cooked meal, and now they can use that time for other, better things. Plus, there are all kinds of portable, prepackaged foods we can buy. Heat them in the office microwave, and lunch at work is quick and easy. Food preparation today allows for more variety. With refrigerators and freezers, we can preserve a lot of different foods in our homes. Since technology makes cooking so much faster, people are willing to make several dishes for even a small meal. Parents are more likely to let children be picky, now that they can easily heat them up some prepackaged macaroni and cheese on the side. Needless to say, adults living in the same house may have very different eating habits as well. If they don’t want to cook a lot of different dishes, it’s common now to eat out at restaurants several times a week. Healthful eating is also easier than ever now. When people cook, they use new fat substitutes and cooking sprays to cut fat and calories. This reduces the risk of heart disease and high cholesterol. Additionally, we can buy fruits and vegetable fresh, frozen or canned. They are easy to prepare, so many of us eat more of those nutritious items daily. A hundred years ago, you couldn’t imagine the process of taking some frozen fruit and ice from the freezer, adding some low-fat yogurt from a plastic cup and some juice from a can in the refrigerator, and whipping up a low-fat smoothie in the blender! Our lifestyle is fast, but people still like good food. What new food preparation technology has given us is more choices. Today, we can prepare food that is more convenient, healthier, and of greater variety than ever before in history.
4. It has been said, “Not every thing that is learned is contained in books.”
Compare and contrast knowledge gained from experience with knowledge gained from books. In your opinion, which source is more important? Why?
“Experience is the best teacher” is an old cliché, but I agree with it. The most important, and sometimes the hardest, lessons we learn in life come from our participation in situations. You can’ learn everything from a book. Of course, learning from books in a formal educational setting is also valuable. It’s in schools that we learn the information we need to function in our society. We learn how to speak and write and understand mathematical equations.

This is all information that we need to live in our communities and earn a living. Nevertheless, I think that the most important lessons can’t be taught; they have to be experienced. No one can teach us how to get along with others or how to have self-respect. As we grow from children into teenagers, no one can teach us how to deal with peer pressure. As we leave adolescence behind and enter adult life, no one can teach us how to fall in love and get married.
This shouldn’t stop us from looking for guidelines along the way. Teachers and parents are valuable sources of advice when we’re young. As we enter into new
stages in our lives, the advice we receive from them is very helpful because they have already bad similar experiences. But experiencing our own triumphs and disasters is really the only way to learn how to deal with life.
5. A company has announced that it wishes to build a large factory near your community. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this new influence on your community. Do you support or oppose the factory? Explain your position. New factories often bring many good things to a community, such as jobs and increased prosperity. However, in my opinion, the benefits of having a factory are outweighed by the risks. That is why I oppose the plan to build a factory near my community.
I believe that this city would be harmed by a large factory. In particular, a factory would destroy the quality of the air and water in town. Factories bring smog and pollution. In the long run, the environment will be hurt and people’s health will be affected. Having a factory is not worth that rise.
Of course, more jobs will be created by the factory. Our population will grow. To accommodate more workers, more homes and stores will be needed. Do we really want this much growth, so fast? If our town is going in growth, I would prefer slow growth with good planning. I don’t want to see rows of cheaply constructed townhouses. Our quality of life must be considered.
I believe that this growth will change our city too much. I love my hometown because it is a safe, small town. It is also easy to travel here. If we must expand to hold new citizens, the small-town feel will be gone. I mould miss that greatly. A factory would be helpful in some ways. However, I feel that the dangers are greater than the benefits. I cannot support a plan to build a factory here, and hope that others feel the same way.
6. MA If you could change one important thing about your hometown, what would you change? Use reasons and specific examples to support your answer.
If I could change one thing about my hometown, I think it would be the fact that there's no sense of community here. People don't feel connected, they don't look out for each other, and they don't get to know their neighbors. People come and go a lot here. They change jobs frequently and move on. This means that they don't put down roots in the community. They don't join community organizations and they're not willing to get involved in trying to improve the quality of life. If someone has a petition to put in a new street light, she has a very hard time getting a lot of people to sign. They don't feel it has anything to do with them. They don't get involved in improving the schools because they don't think the quality of education is important to their lives. They don't see the connection between themselves and the rest of their community.
People don't try to support others around them. They don't keep a friendly eyes on their children, or check in on older folks if they don't see them for a few days. They're not aware when people around them may be going through a hard time. For example, they may not know if a neighbor loses a loved one. There's not a lot of community support for individuals. Neighbors don't get to know each other. Again, this is because people come and go within a few years. So when neighbors go on vacation, no one is keeping an eye on their house. No one is making sure nothing suspicious is going on there, like lights in the middle of the night. When neighbors' children are cutting across someone's lawn on their bikes, there's no friendly way of casually mentioning the problem. People immediately act as if it's a major property disagreement. My hometown is a nice place to live in many ways, but it would be much nice if we had that sense of community. 7 How do movies or television influence people’s behavior? Use reasons and specific examples to support your answer. Do movies and television affect our behavior? A special concern is whether movies and television make children and society more violent. I believe that movies and television do influence our behavior, both for the better and for the worse. Movies do make people more violent. The more we see violent acts on television, the less sensitive we become to them. Eventually violence doesn’t seem wrong .we may even commit violent acts ourselves. This is especially true because we don’t always realize that violence has consequences. Actors can be killed and come back for another movie. Sometimes we confuse that with reality. We forget that killing someone is permanent. Movies and television also influence our behavior because they make us less active. Looking at films is a passive activity. If we watch too much, we become unhealthy, both mentally and physically. We stop using our own imagination when we see things acted out for us. Mental laziness becomes physical laziness; we’d rather watch sports on to than play sports ourselves. we’d rather visit with the characters on “Seinfeld” or “Friends” than go chat with our own neighbors. Imaginary people have exciting lives. Is it any wonder that some people would rather live a fantasy life than their own?
Of course, watching movies and television can also be good for us. It can give us a broader window on the world. For example, seeing movies can expose us to people of different races and cultures. We can then overcome some prejudices more easily. Recently there have been more handicapped people in films, and this also help reduce prejudice.
The best influence on our behavior is that movies and television reduce stress. Watching films, we can escape our own problems for a little while. Also, sometime movies show positive ways to resolve problems we all face. While TV and movies shouldn’t be a way to hide from life, sometimes they can help us cope.
It is true that movies and television can influence our behavior negatively. However, I also believe that they influence our behaviors in positive ways. How they affect you depends on how much you watch, what you watch, and how you respond to what you watch.
8 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Television has destroyed communication among friends and family. Use specific reasons and examples to
- 2 -
大家论坛club.topsage.com
support your opinion. Some people believe that television has destroyed communication among friends and family. I think this is an exaggeration.
In my opinion, whether or not television hurts communication depends on what type of program is being viewed. More importantly, it depends on the type of viewer. There are empty programs and educational programs. Empty programs do not challenge people. They have just enough storyline to keep them from switching channels. There are also passive and active viewers. A passive viewer will just watch television without thinking about what be or she seeing. The combination of an empty program and a passive viewer makes communication unlikely. Passive viewers just continue to watch, actually enjoying the fact that they don’t have to think. They won’t break away to talk about programming with friends and family. Even with better programming, passive viewers still won’t think or communicate much. The probably even prefer the empty program because the better programming is too much work. On the other hand, active viewers watching educational programming always want to share what they see with friends and family. “Educational” doesn’t necessarily mean documentaries on BBS. They could be dramas with realistic relationships or action shows with clever plotlines. When active viewers watch programs, they have ideas and talk about them with others. Good programming inspires them to change their thinking and their lives. Unlike passive viewers, they don’t want to watch more and more without thinking. Television may destroy communication among passive viewers. Those viewers probably don’t want to communicate with friends and family much anyway. For active viewers who already enjoy communicating, television is actually helpful!
9 Some people prefer to live in a small town, Others prefer to live in a big city. Which place would you prefer to live in? Use specific reasons and details to support your answer. I grew up in a small town and then moved to a big city, so I have experienced the good and bad sides of both. I never thought that I would like living in a big city, but I was wrong. After ten years of living in one, I can’t imagine ever living in a small town again. Small towns and big cities both have some problems in terms of transportation. In a small town, you have to own a car to ensure a comfortable living .you can’t get around without one because there isn’t any kind of public
transportation. Big cities generally have heavy traffic and expensive parking, but there you have a choice of taking public transportation. It’s not free, but it’s often
cheaper than driving when you consider gas and time, especially if you don’t have a car, you’re better off in the city. I love the excitement of big cities. Small towns have a slow pace. Large cities mean you have to adapt to a variety of situations, like finding a new route to work or trvine a new restaurant. I enjoy that challenge very much. Another part of the excitement of city living is the variety of cultural activities available. There is a wild assortment of theatre music and dance performances available in big cities. These things are rare in small ones. The final thing I think about large cities is the diversity of the people. the United States is made up of people of different races, religions, abilities, and interests. However, you seldom find such a variety of people in a small town. I think that living in an area where everyone was just like me would quickly become boring. Of course, security is a concern, and that one area where small towns are superior to big cities. Still, I would rather be a bit more cautions and live a large city than to feel secure but bored.
10 ”When people succeed, it is because of hard work, Luck has nothing to do with success.” Do you agree or disagree with the quotation above? Use specific and examples to explain your position. When people succeed, it is because of hard work, but luck has a lot to do with it,too. Success without some luck is almost impossible. The French emperor Napoleon said of one of his generals, “I know he’s good. But is he lucky?” Napoleon knew that all the hard work and talent in the world can’t make up for bad luck. However, hard work can invite good luck. When it comes to success, luck can mean being in the right place to meet someone, or having the right skills to get a job done. It might mean turning down an offer and then having a better offer come along. Nothing can replace hard work, but working hard also means you’re
preparing yourself opportunity. Opportunity very often depends on luck. How many of the great inventions and discoveries came about through a lucky mistake or a lucky chance? One of the biggest lucky mistakes in history is Columbus’ so-called discovery of America. He enriched his sponsors and changed history, but he was really
looking for India. However, Columbus’ chance discovery wasn’t pure luck. It was backed up by years of studying and calculating. He worked hard to prove his theory that the world was round. Success that comes from pure luck and no hard work can be a real problem. For example, consider a teenage girl who becomes a movie star. Imagine she’s been picked from nowhere because of her looks. She is going to feel very insecure, because she knows she didn’t do anything to earn her stardom. On the other hand, think about an actress who’s spend years learning and working at her craft. When she finally has good luck and becomes a success, she will handle stardom
better, she knows she earns it. People who work hard help make their own luck by being ready opportunity knocks. When it comes to success. I think that hard work and luck so hand in hand.
11 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Universities should give the same amount of money to their students' sports activities as they give to their university libraries. Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion. I disagree strongly with the idea that the same amount of money should go to university sports activities as to university libraries. Although playing sports is a wonderful way to learn about teamwork, strategy and reaching your goals, it should not be the principal focus of a university education. Students need the most up-to-date library facilities available to get the best education. Many of those facilities are very expensive to buy and maintain. These include computerized programs and access to internet research databases that students can use to find information all around the world. If a university is only offering its students resources of a decade ago, it’s depriving those students of a tremendous amount of information. Even the book and magazine budget of universities has gone up tremendously in last decade. More is being published on every subject, and every university wants to have this information available to its students. It also costs money for universities to keep their libraries open. Students need to have access to all the libraries' research tools as much of time as possible. Because students are young and can stay up all night studying, many universities are starting to leave their libraries open all night during exam periods. This costs money, because the staff has to be paid extra to be there. It also costs money to run the building (electricity, heat) during that time. Students at universities are only

going to benefit from their education if they can get to all the tools they need to learn. Sports are secondary to the resources that students need from university libraries. For this reason, libraries should always be better funded than sport activities.

谢邀。
【答主背景】
非英语专业。
前某校托福听力、口语基础班讲师。改行后多年全英文工作环境。
【声明】
如果你按照以下方法严格执行,你三个月之内口语就会有大幅度的提高。 此方法在非正规的探索研究中效果显著,我之前的很多学生都亲测有效。 但仍没有进行过正规的对照组研究,所以也没有数据可以提供。
仅供参考。
目前正在不断优化这个自我训练方法,欢迎反馈意见并注明具体原因。 (但一定是要按照方法执行过后再反馈哦)
————————————————
这个方法和其它方法比较有以下优点:
, 单天花费时间短
, 大脑负担轻
, 不易产生挫败感
【认识口语训练的三个阶段】
, 语料的积累
, 对话的反射
, 语音的训练
【语料的积累】
1. 背单词(第一周、第二周)
所需教材
, 17天搞定GRE单词(大家不要被名字吓到了,这是一本背词法的书,而不是GRE词
汇书)
, 新托福口语词汇小伴侣(前10个list是根据北美日常口语词频统计,之后的是校园和生
活分类专业词汇,第一个周期只要背熟前10个list就好了)
使用方法
拿出两周时间,给自己做个时间表,每天抽早起半小时和晚上睡觉半小时按照17天上的方法来背词汇小伴侣,唯一不同的是你需要跟着音频一起大声诵读,而不是默背。
注意!!!
, 按照17天的方法背单词千万不要担心记不住,记不住是应该的。只要让你的脑子有个
印象就好了,它会在你不停给它看的时候自己就记住那个词的。所以不要给自己有压力说
“要背”多少词,而是“要过多少词”。
, 特别熟的单词直接用笔划掉,不要浪费时间。
2. 造句练习(第三周、第四周)
两周过去后,用造句练习的方式把这些词放置在语境里来复习。
, 给自己再次订一个两周的时间表。
, 仍然是早晚半小时,把所有的单词都口头造不同的三个句子,注意一定要读出来。 , 仍然需要像17天中所说的每天复习,复习还是造三个句子,不一定和你之前造的句子
一样。不复习是没有用的。
3. 语料的及时弥补
准备一个小本子或者词典app。在对话反射训练中遇到的生词,或者自己用英文无法表达的词记下来。当天晚上睡觉前回顾一遍。
再次注意!!!
不用追求每次的记忆效果,但是一定要复习,尤其是记不住的,多过几遍。
【对话的反射】
为什么叫“反射”,是因为在你没有训练以前,你的英文说出口之前大多数情况都会在脑子里翻译一遍(除了Sh*t, F*ck,H*llo, Bye-B*e这样的词你根本不用翻译,就直接说了)
而通过一段时间的强化训练以后就变成了可以直接反应不用翻译的话了,就跟你的母语一样,就像背乘法口诀。
1. 跟读模仿(第五周,第六周,第七周)
所需材料:《摩登家庭》视频任意一季(没看过的当然最好用第一季)
它的对白是我觉得美剧中最接近生活的对白之一,大量地道的语句都可以直接抓来用。(老友记还有BBT感觉对白还是剧作感比较重,虽然是生活化场景,但是并不自然。Gossip Girl的语料也很好,但语速较快,不太适合一开始就拿来当素材)
(评论补充 陈权威:貌似那个摩登家庭的字幕错了,live up to 的意思应该是不辜负、达到某人的期望,而不是与某人比肩。)
使用方法
只看前5集,1周花5天时间,每天1集,每次1个半小时。
第五周
像下图这样,找一张纸把中文字幕贴起来,借助英文字幕看剧,先从头到尾看一遍。
(评论补充 木木: 推荐一下qq影音,可以自己决定在任何时间任何位置加马赛克,不用纸挡着这么不容易……之前上英语综合训练课的时候,老师推荐使用的~)
看得过程中遇到你连英文都看不懂的,找个本子,把那句话记录下来。
当时不要看中文,一集完全看完以后把纸条撤掉,反查你记录下来看不懂的英文是什么意思。
然后开始逐句跟读,就是放一句,你读一句,要跟他说的一样一样的,模仿他的语音语调和速度,每句跟读5遍。
一些简单的句子就不要跟读了,什么hello how are you之类。
第六周
还是那5集,从第1集开始看,把英文字幕也一起用纸贴起来挡住。
现在开始一边看一边跟读,发现有英文不记得什么意思的或者听不懂的,就大致记下来。
等全集跟读完了,回头再看是哪里有问题,记在小本子里
第七周
仍然是那5集,仍然每天1集,把那一集值得记住可以用在日常对话里的段落摘抄到小本子里。每抄一段,跟读三遍。
然后设想一个你自己平时的生活场景,把那句话用进去。
比如说刚才图里有一句:It's about being spontaneous. 你就可以想一下谁对你说什么话的时候你可能会说这句,然后假装这事儿发生了,你回复他。(一定要出声,并且带着场景感。)
2. 强化训练(第八周)
开始复习小本子上你记下来的句子,仍然是每天一集,每个小段落读3遍,背两遍。 时间安排仍然要像17天单词的方法一样,一定要复习。
因为这时候你对于台词已经翻滚了好几遍了,所以背起来会觉得特别轻松。
3. 实战训练
所需材料
一个以英语母语国家的老外。
(渠道有太多了:在中国的留学生,语言交换网站等等)
比如说这个:
Language Exchange Community
使用方法
聊天。
很多人开不了口都是因为怕翻语法错误。一见到人就紧张,在脑子里过了好几遍就是说不出来。 这个负担是完全没有必要的。
换位思考一下,一个美国人说中文的时候你对他能有多大期望,他胡乱蹦几个词,加上环境背景,你基本大差不差也都能听懂了,你也不会觉得他怎么着,更不会笑话他或者歧视他中文不好吧。
所以反之亦然,不要担心犯错,这是最最最最最关键的一步。
开始的时候尽量用短句和简单句,你会发现这些短而简单的句子已经能够覆盖很大一部分对话了。然后你可以在每次聊天的过程中把你强化训练的句子用上。
不懂的地方尽管问,不要害羞不懂装懂,短语和单词在情境中的使用你的记忆会特别深刻。
我印象特别深的一次是我以前只知道呕吐是puke,有一次一个宿醉的同学很恐慌和我说I think... I'm...I'm gonna throw up. 刚说完他就在我面前吐了一地...
然后throw up这个词永远地留在了我的脑海里。
代替方案
一个英语好的国人。
使用方法
全英文沟通。
我那会儿为了练英语,鼓动全班同学都和我说英语,如果抓到我说中文,就罚我钱。效果非常好,大概仅仅过了两个月左右我的英语就愉快地满地打滚了。
当然你们不一定要像我一样做的这么绝,这和环境有关,我知道一定会有同学觉得你装逼或者得了什么精神病。所以就去找愿意这么做的同学吧,肯定能找到的。
【语音的训练】
通过一段时间的跟读模仿,你的语音应该也有一定程度上的改变了。
如果需要更加优化,可以用American Accent Training,效果相当显著。
下载地址:
American Accent Training.pdf
(语音包太傻上应该有,大家自己找找吧,我好懒)
使用方法也是,你需要给自己安排个时间表,每天训练半小时左右。
另外Andy Krieger的教程也挺好的,但是不知道为什么好像在国内不太有人知道。他专门在好莱坞纠正外国明星的口音,职业去口音专家。(突然觉得很有喜感)
英语口音纠正课程
*注意:
其实有口音并没有问题,反而是一种自身特色。如果对语音没有什么特殊爱好的话,不用太把精力花在语音的训练上。
(你想想印度同学那么流利地说着难懂的印度英语时是多么的自信,你这口音又算得了什么,)
——————
下面是我自己配音的一个小视频。
(你可以听出并不是native speaker, 但并不妨碍理解。相反,正因为有一些口音所以才会有exotic的特色感觉。所以当时这个视频出来以后还有一些native speaker找过我去配音。)
配音1
http://v.qq.com/page/y/l/v/y0156n35ilv.html
香奈儿的整个系列宣传视频都找了这个有着法国口音的配音。反而有种独特的风格在里面。

最后,很多人都会下载一堆乱七八糟的材料,买那种厚厚的口语800句大全什么的却从来都不看,下载了很多口语app也不用。
不要欺骗自己了,先把词背好,然后踏踏实实去练习跟读,然后再背。
最后的最后,最好的方式就是和歪果仁多交流。
最后的最后的最后,时间表很重要,坚持更重要。
这个方法可以帮助你提高训练口语的效率并且降低一定痛苦,但是它并不能帮你加什么特效。

(评论补充 陈权威:貌似那个摩登家庭的字幕错了,live up to 的意思应该是不辜负、达到某人的期望,而不是与某人比肩。)
使用方法
只看前5集,1周花5天时间,每天1集,每次1个半小时。
第五周
像下图这样,找一张纸把中文字幕贴起来,借助英文字幕看剧,先从头到尾看一遍。 (评论补充 木木: 推荐一下qq
影音,
可以自己决定在任何时间任何位置加马赛克,不用纸挡着这么不容易??之前上英语综合训练课的时候,老师推荐使用的!)
看得过程中遇到你连英文都看不懂的,找个本子,把那句话记录下来。
当时不要看中文,一集完全看完以后把纸条撤掉,反查你记录下来看不懂的英文是什么意思。 然后开始逐句跟读,就是放一句,你读一句,要跟他说的一样一样的,模仿他的语音语调和速度,每句跟读5遍。
一些简单的句子就不要跟读了,什么hello how are you之类。
第六周
还是那5集,从第1集开始看,把英文字幕也一起用纸贴起来挡住。
现在开始一边看一边跟读,发现有英文不记得什么意思的或者听不懂的,就大致记下来。
等全集跟读完了,回头再看是哪里有问题,记在小本子里
第七周
仍然是那5集,仍然每天1集,把那一集值得记住可以用在日常对话里的段落摘抄到小本子里。每抄一段,跟读三遍。
然后设想一个你自己平时的生活场景,把那句话用进去。
比如说刚才图里有一句:It's about being spontaneous. 你就可以想一下谁对你说什么话的时候你可能会说这句,然后假装这事儿发生了,你回复他。(一定要出声,并且带着场景感。)
2. 强化训练(第八周) 开始复习小本子上你记下来的句子,仍然是每天一集,每个小段落读3遍,背两遍。 时间安排仍然要像17天单词的方法一样,一定要复习。
因为这时候你对于台词已经翻滚了好几遍了,所以背起来会觉得特别轻松。
3. 实战训练
所需材料
一个以英语母语国家的老外。
(渠道有太多了:在中国的留学生,语言交换网站等等)
比如说这个:
Language Exchange Community
使用方法
聊天。
很多人开不了口都是因为怕翻语法错误。一见到人就紧张,在脑子里过了好几遍就是说不出来。
这个负担是完全没有必要的。
换位思考一下,一个美国人说中文的时候你对他能有多大期望?他胡乱蹦几个词,加上环境背景,你基本大差不差也都能听懂了,你也不会觉得他怎么着,更不会笑话他或者歧视他中文不好吧。
所以反之亦然,不要担心犯错,这是最最最最最关键的一步。
开始的时候尽量用短句和简单句,你会发现这些短而简单的句子已经能够覆盖很大一部分对话了。然后你可以在每次聊天的过程中把你强化训练的句子用上。 不懂的地方尽管问,不要害羞不懂装懂,短语和单词在情境中的使用你的记忆会特别深刻。
我印象特别深的一次是我以前只知道呕吐是puke,有一次一个宿醉的同学很恐慌和我说I think... I'm...I'm gonna throw up. 刚说完他就在我面前吐了一地...
然后throw up这个词永远地留在了我的脑海里。
代替方案
一个英语好的国人。
使用方法
全英文沟通。
我那会儿为了练英语,鼓动全班同学都和我说英语,如果抓到我说中文,就罚我钱。效果非常好,大概仅仅过了两个月左右我的英语就愉快地满地打滚了。
当然你们不一定要像我一样做的这么绝,这和环境有关,我知道一定会有同学觉得你装逼或者得了什么精神病。所以就去找愿意这么做的同学吧,肯定能找到的。
【语音的训练】 通过一段时间的跟读模仿,你的语音应该也有一定程度上的改变了。
如果需要更加优化,可以用American Accent Training,效果相当显著。
使用方法也是,你需要给自己安排个时间表,每天训练半小时左右。
另外Andy Krieger的教程也挺好的,但是不知道为什么好像在国内不太有人知道。他专门在好莱坞纠正外国明星的口音,职业去口音专家。(突然觉得很有喜感)
*注意:
其实有口音并没有问题,反而是一种自身特色。如果对语音没有什么特殊爱好的话,不用太把精力花在语音的训练上。
(你想想印度同学那么流利地说着难懂的印度英语时是多么的自信,你这口音又算得了什么?) 最后,很多人都会下载一堆乱七八糟的材料,买那种厚厚的口语800句大全什么的却从来都不看,下载了很多口语app也不用。
不要欺骗自己了,先把词背好,然后踏踏实实去练习跟读,然后再背。
最后的最后,最好的方式就是和歪果仁多交流。
最后的最后的最后,时间表很重要,坚持更重要。
这个方法可以帮助你提高训练口语的效率并且降低一定痛苦,但是它并不能帮你加什么特效。

怎么练好英语口语
速恩英语外教—1对1外教
学习一门语言的目的在于掌握与人沟通交流的工具。较英语学习的其他方面来说.口语对语法和时态都没有严格的要求,很容易取得成效。本文总结了几点口语学习的注意事项,在这里跟大家分享。
一、词汇量与口语表达能力并不成正比
词汇学是英语学习的必修课,很多人认为词汇宽就等同于庞大的词汇量,如果没有大量的词汇量就无法进行交流。其实不然。事实证明,即使是一个刚刚初中毕业的学生所具备的词汇量就足以完成英语生存环境下所要求的基本日常表达。美国之音VOICE OF AMERICA特别英语节目SPECIAL ENGLISH的词汇量只有1500个单词。这说明:对于大多数人来说,目前的词汇量是足以应付日常口语表达的。外国人几乎不使用长句子,而且所用的单词都是大家很熟悉的,而很多中国人在讲英语前首先考虑的是语法的时态、语态,一开口就是复杂的丛旬。不要盲目去背大量的单词,试着用简单的词汇,把复杂的东西简单说,不要过分追求语法,即使你的说法并不符合语法规则,只要能表达你的意思,就是一种很大的进步。请1对1外教就能很快的解决这个问题。
二、培养学习英语的兴趣
俗话说:兴趣是最好的老师,只有对一件事产生了兴趣,才会有无穷的动力,不得不学和想去学是截然不同的。学习英语也可以很有趣,关键是要去发现,去寻找。如:笑话、广告等等有条件最好做1对1外教英语培训,效果会更好一些。如果你善于寻找就会发现有很多这样的例子,如果你多留意一下这样的句子,还会把英语学习当成一件枯燥无味的事情吗?
三、有良好的语言环境
对于想说一口流利英语的人来说,有良好的语言环境是极为重要的。大量事例证明,中国人在自己的土地是完全可以说出一口流利的英语的。教师可建议学生多听英文歌,多看英文原声大碟。也许开始你听不懂,但在不知不觉中应就在脑海中形成一种语言氛围,英文片看得多了,就会发现其中的很多话都可以为已所用,当你发现无意间说的一句话竟然是你听过的英文歌词的时候,那么就找机会去和英美人士交流一下,检验自己的口语水平吧!
四、了解英汉两种语言的文化差异
语言的文化背景不同,在禁忌语和体态语言上也就有很大的差别。伸出食指和中指;我们用大拇指和食指表示“八”,可在美国人的眼里就是“二”的意思。因此,教师要试图让学生了解英汉两种语言的文化差异,避免出现错误。
五、要有战胜一切的信心
对旨在提高英语口语水平的人来说,战胜一切的信心最直接的表现就是张开嘴说,哪怕只是一个单词,说出来就成功了一半。想将英语说好其实很容易,只要懂得策略和技巧,再加上刻苦学习的毅力和恒心,想说得不好都很难! 速恩英语提高1对1外教英语培训培训服务,如果对自己意志没有信心的学习可以考虑。
范文五:怎么练好英语口语?
题主的问题让我想起我狡猾的老爹,当年在尼日利亚练我英语的一个方法,说出博诸君一笑:
那时在尼日利亚已经呆了1个月余,但是英语说得磕磕绊绊。不过英语一贯是我的弱项,老爹倒也觉得正常。只是有一天,老爹突然领着我去家门口一个杂货店处,塞给我一个文曲星,让我去问那个杂货店老板一个问题:“上帝存在吗?”
那个杂货店老板是个不折不扣的基督徒,而且相当虔诚。在尼日利亚这个伊斯兰教与基督教颇有冲突的地方,宗教是个不能乱碰的敏感区。我当时就觉得:“爸,咱俩是想上明天的国内头条吗?”
老爹不以为意,说“杂货店老板以前也是个大学生很斯文不打人”云云,推着我就过去了。于是我硬着头皮坐下,开始和正在晒太阳的杂货店老板打招呼。
像所有标准国内口语白痴一样,我以“好肚油肚”开头。老板是个近六十的粗壮白发伊博族大叔,笑笑让我坐下。然后我甩出了问题(为便于理TOU解LAN以下全用中文):“上帝存在吗?”
老板一脸震惊,问了我一个词,我表示没听懂,于是他写下来给我,我再输入到文曲星里,哦,atheist(无神论者)。
我觉得我没那么绝对,比划半天,老板想了想,又写了个词给我,我再输入到文曲星里,哦,agnostic(不可知论者)。
于是我们的争论就这么开始了。
“我跟你说这个国家没上帝不成,你看贪污,贪污(抢过我的文曲星打corruption),还有巫术,巫术(witchcraft),没上帝怎么...”“不是吧,上帝不是...我靠我查查...almighty(万能的)么,让上帝来解决不就行么”“拿衣服!没有我们的赎罪,赎罪!(redemption),上帝是不会拯救我们的!”“可是我们哪有...罪是啥来着...crime?(老板:是sin啦!)我们哪有sin啦?!”“你看看这个国家的corruption和witchcraft!”
.........
这套“文曲星吵架法”在之后的几个月,成为我老爹折磨我英语口语的绝佳工具。除了警察和政府官员不招惹,压同行的价格、催清关公司提货、和从小在台湾读远华班的老黑争辩两岸问题(虽然他台普说的特溜),反正都是高对抗性的对话,每天都有那么两三次,搞得我紧张兮兮的,深怕客死他乡。
但是四个月下来,我能听得懂班图人和印度旁遮普人的英语了。(做过外贸的盆友应能理解这两种人说英语的奇葩程度...说多了都是泪...)
老爹后来告诉我:假如把语言学习比作练兵,那么阅读就好比阅兵,闲聊就好比演习,而辩论就是开战,激烈辩论堪称全面战争。
1.进入“英语思维”
在辩论中,你根本来不及在脑海中走“英文-中文-中文-英文”的翻译过程,情绪和环境会直接逼着你进“英文-英文”的语言系统里,也就是别人玄而又玄的“英语思维”。在闲聊时,你下意识里可能会想想对方说的英语是什么中文意思,然后再想你回应的中文语言,然后翻译成英语,然后说出去。但是在辩论中,你会突然发现很多单词你直接就蹦出来了,完全不用在下意识里翻译(急的);
2.高效查漏补缺
对于很多中国学生,单词和用法分两种:记得和不记得的。但是实际上记得的单词和用法里,还分两种:熟悉的和不熟悉的。如果你在辩论中卡壳,很有可能是你不熟悉这个词及使用方法。这不意味着你不记得这个词,而是你没用过它。天天打靶和上阵杀敌是两码事。而且让你在辩论中卡壳的词,你往往会把他记得分外清楚(好比打仗时爆你头的敌人)。例如我对agnostic,至今仍在讨论神学时偶尔拿出来,以示我逼格之高;
3.理解语言逻辑
日常生活中,一两次没听懂无所谓。但在辩论中,我要揪你小辫子,我要抓你逻辑上的把柄,你对对方说话的理解力会突然奇迹般提升(尤其是像我这种心眼小的)。过往学过的那些语法突然活过来:为什么用in不用on,那个that分句解释的是前面哪个词,他的do省略的是前面哪个行为。你对语言的理解不再是单词,而是逻辑,因为在辩论中,你最想进攻对方的逻辑,这样恰好能真正理解语法。
-------------------我是总结的分割线---------------------
离题万里回归一下:怎么练好口语?
既然你说要“练好”,那我姑且就当你练兵多年(学习基础好)、定期阅兵(有阅读量)、偶尔演习(和老外也聊过天)。但是你肯定很少开战乃至全面战争(辩论)。
尝试一下:把单词看做士兵、把句子看做战斗小组、把语法当做传令方法,在你的逻辑指挥下,组成陈述、质疑、反驳等进攻手段,朝着你注意力听出来的弱点,进攻!
放下书本,多和老外或者老师进行有目的有规则的辩论。记得不FUCK U不人参公鸡,记得做好资料和单词准备,记得理解对方并找出对方逻辑的弱点,记得牙齿不要有菜叶(泥垢了!
每场“有效的”辩论保持在十五分钟左右,每场仗结束后,回想一下,复盘一下,然后补缺中间的遗漏,下次再来。这样来个40到60场,我觉得以后你就算是面对再纠结的面试官、谈判对象、别部门同事,你都能轻松把对方爆出翔。这时候你回头看看什么日常交流啦介绍自己或事物啦抒发感情啦,弱爆了,真的。
最后重申:一家之言。
