Study Every Day
每天學(xué)習(xí)
It's important to study English every day. However, don't exaggerate! Study for thirty minutes every day instead of two hours once a week. This habit of studying English every day will help keep English in your brain fresh.
每天學(xué)英語很重要。但是,也別過了頭!每天學(xué)半個小時,而不要一周學(xué)一次,一次學(xué)兩小時。每天學(xué)英語的習(xí)慣會讓英語在你的頭腦中保持新鮮。
A Little Grammar, A Little Listening, A Little Reading, and A little Writing
學(xué)一點(diǎn)語法、一點(diǎn)聽力、一點(diǎn)閱讀、一點(diǎn)寫作
Next, make sure to study a number of areas rather than focusing on just one topic. Study a little grammar, then do a short listening exercise, then perhaps read an article on the same topic. Don't do too much, twenty minutes on three different types of exercises is plenty!
接下來,確保學(xué)習(xí)不同的類別,不要僅僅專注于一類。學(xué)一會兒語法,然后做一小段聽力練習(xí),接著再讀一篇相關(guān)話題的文章。別學(xué)太多,花20分鐘在三種不同的練習(xí)上就夠了!
Review Grammar as Your Watch or Read
邊看邊復(fù)習(xí)語法
Give yourself one grammar goal when reading a new article or watching a new video. For example, try to write down each example of a form you are studying such as the present perfect. Use highlighters (colored pens) with texts to highlight forms that you are studying.
看書或者看視頻的時候給自己設(shè)定一個語法學(xué)習(xí)目標(biāo)。比如,列出你正在學(xué)的語法知識的全部形式,如現(xiàn)在完成時。用熒光筆(彩筆)在你讀的書上做標(biāo)出這些形式。
Use Different Learning Methods
用不同的學(xué)習(xí)方法
Don't just use one way to study English. Use a variety of methods which will help all the parts of your brain help you. For example, if you are learning new vocabulary, create a word map, describe a picture, make a list and study that. All of these methods together help to reinforce your learning.
不要只用一種方法學(xué)英語。用多種方法學(xué)習(xí)會調(diào)動大腦的各部分助你學(xué)習(xí)。比如,如果你在學(xué)新單詞,畫一張詞匯圖、描述一幅圖、列個清單然后開始學(xué)習(xí)。這些方法都會鞏固你的學(xué)習(xí)。
Find Some Friends
找同伴
You can practice the exercises together, have conversations together (in English!), and, as you study English together, help each other with exercises you may not understand.
你們可以一起做練習(xí),一起聊天(當(dāng)然要用英語!)。你們一起學(xué)的時候可以互相幫助,解決練習(xí)中的疑惑。
ChooseTopics that Interest You
找個感興趣的話題
One of the most important things to do is to study English using topics that you like. This will help motivate you because you will also be learning about a topic you find interesting while you study English.
學(xué)習(xí)英語最重要的一點(diǎn)就是用你喜歡的話題。這會激勵你,因?yàn)槟阍趯W(xué)英語的同時,也學(xué)習(xí)了你所感興趣的話題。
Warming-up to Study English
學(xué)英語前要熱身
Just as there are exercises to help you warm up before you play some basketball or other sport, there are exercises which can help you warm up to study English. Here are some simple exercises to help you warm up.
就像打籃球或做其他運(yùn)動前要熱身一樣,學(xué)英語前也要熱身。下面就是一些熱身活動。
Activating Your Vocabulary
激活詞匯
Activate your vocabulary by thinking or speaking briefly about the subject you are about to work on. For example, if you are going to study English on topics that focuses on vacations, take a moment to think about your last vacation, what you did, what you enjoyed, etc. This simple exercise will help your brain warm-up to vocabulary that you are likely to encounter as you study English about this particular subject.
通過思考或簡要敘述你要學(xué)習(xí)的話題來激活詞匯。例如,如果你要學(xué)習(xí)有關(guān)假日的話題,花時間想一想你在上一次假日中做了什么,享受到了什么等等。這樣簡單的鍛煉會激活你的大腦來學(xué)習(xí)你在某個特定話題中將遇到的詞匯。
Activating Your Grammar
激活語法
Activate your grammar by thinking about the general grammar area before you begin to study. For example, if you are going to study English grammar focusing on the past, stop to think about what you did last weekend, where you went, etc. to help activate what you already understand about using the past. As with activating vocabulary, you'll help your brain bring up what it knows about the past simple in an easy way before you begin to focus on studying English grammar in detail.
在開始學(xué)習(xí)前想一想該語法的基本知識來激活語法。例如,如果你要學(xué)習(xí)與過去時的相關(guān)語法,就想一想你上周做了什么、去了哪里等等,以此來幫你激活你已知的過去時語法知識。就像 激活詞匯一樣,這樣就讓大腦在詳細(xì)學(xué)習(xí)語法前就能用簡單的方式記起所知的過去時知識。
Singing a Song
唱首歌
Before class begins, sing a song in English to yourself. Make sure to use a song that you understand and know very well. This short and fun exercise will help your brain focus on the English language in a relaxing manner.
課前,唱首英文歌給自己聽。確保你唱的歌是自己熟悉的。這個耗時少且有趣的鍛煉能讓大腦以放松的方式專注于英語。
Typing a Short Paragraph in English
打一小段英語
You can type about your day, your hobbies, your friends, etc. Typing helps activate the kinetic part of your brain that helps improve learning through physical activity. I also recommend typing while you study your English grammar. This will help solidify your knowledge with movement.
你可以打字記錄你的一天、你的愛好、你的朋友,等等。打字能幫你調(diào)動大腦的運(yùn)動區(qū),這樣可以幫你通過動手來學(xué)習(xí)。我也建議一邊打字一邊學(xué)語法,這能通過動作幫你鞏固知識。
