Everyone knows that it is very important for young people living in the 21st century to master a foreign language, especially English. How to learn English well and improve English proficiency is a problem that many middle school students are confused about.

In fact, learning English well is not difficult. The key lies in mastering good learning methods. Learning methods naturally vary from person to person and from time to time. In fact, the method itself does not matter whether it is good or bad. The key lies in whether it can be perfectly combined with the individual and improve learning efficiency. If a set of methods can stimulate your interest in learning and improve learning efficiency, you will need to use it in the future. All you have to do is keep at it. Maybe

We have all seen similar situations: some people are immersed in writing all day long, studying very hard, but their results are still not satisfactory; some people know how to "relax" and study very well. Easy and among the best. If

you are the latter, I believe you have found the best combination of good learning methods and yourself, as long as you persevere; while the former has a certain degree of perseverance, the key is to improve

My own learning efficiency has improved.

Another key to learning English well is to increase your interest in learning English. Einstein said, "Interest is the best teacher." Interest is the motivation for learning. So how to generate interest in learning? Of course

You must learn English, understand English, and be able to apply the English knowledge you have learned in daily life practice. The more you know, the more interested you will be. First, you must have sufficient vocabulary and

solid knowledge of grammar.

1. Vocabulary

Vocabulary is the key to learning English well. Without enough vocabulary, it is impossible to listen, speak, read and write.

The size of vocabulary determines the level of a student's English proficiency. Therefore, in the junior high school stage, in addition to mastering the more than 800 vocabulary words required by the "Outline", it is also necessary to expand about 500 vocabulary words. In the process of learning vocabulary, you must master the spelling rules of words and memorize words according to the rules. At the same time, you must memorize and expand words based on the knowledge of word formation. Understanding and memorizing words through context is also the best way to learn. A good way to use words

. At present, there are fewer and fewer vocabulary questions in Chinese-English translation in the high school entrance exams. Instead, the proportion of vocabulary use in context is increasing. When entering the primary stage of learning English,

Mastering phonetic knowledge is the basis for learning English words well, and accurately reading English phonemes is the prerequisite for spelling and reading phonetic symbols. Therefore, you must master the 48 phonemes proficiently and be able to pronounce and spell. Some students think that the pronunciation test is canceled in the written test of the high school examination, so they must secondly pay attention to training their listening, sound identification and imitation abilities. In class, listen attentively to the teacher's pronunciation and the recording on the tape, and strive to learn it in class. For those words, phrases or sentences that are difficult to pronounce, you must take the time to imitate them repeatedly after class until you read them accurately and are familiar with them. Thirdly, master the pronunciation rules proficiently and cultivate your ability to connect letters (or combinations of letters) and pronunciation according to the pronunciation rules. Because mastering the spelling rules is very beneficial to the memory of words. For this reason, you should always review and consolidate the "Listen, read and say" in the last lesson of each unit and the "Pronunciation and spelling" in the textbook appendix. If you do not pay attention to these contents. I think this is a big shortcoming. If anyone can master it skillfully

it will be a good helper for you to memorize words.

When it comes to memorizing words, this is a common headache for students. In particular, the vocabulary of the current new textbooks has expanded a lot, making memorization even more difficult. If you can't remember the words, it's impossible to learn English well

. So it is very important to break through the difficulty of words. There are many ways to memorize words.

1. Memorize words according to their pronunciation. In fact, when you read a word, you need to take a look at the phonetic symbols and grasp the pronunciation rules of letters and letter combinations. Categorize and memorize all words that match the rules. For example:

① Press the open and closed syllables to memorize and master the pronunciation of vowels. Bag: cat, map, sad; cake: name, plane, date; desk: next, set, step, let; these: Chinese,

Japanese; hit: big, ship, this, kill; like : side, nice, kite,mine; not: dog, hot, stop, got; nose: note, those, close, hole;

bus: nut, cup, rubber, dust; use: huge, etc. . ② Memorize letter combinations and master the pronunciation of vowel letter combinations and consonant letter combinations, such as: bee, meet, see, keep, etc.

ee letter combinations read /i:/; chair, ch letters The combination reads /tS / .

2. Syllable memory.

Regardless of the length of the word, it is difficult to memorize it if you memorize it from the first letter to the last letter. For example: information, consisting of 11 letters, can be "cut into eight pieces".

It will be easy to memorize syllables. in-for-ma-tion

3. The method of combining sound, shape and meaning

Memorizing a word combines its sound, shape and meaning, which makes the memory firm and fast. Read its pronunciation accurately, be optimistic about its shape, and understand its meaning, especially if a word has multiple meanings, and improve the resolution when memorizing it.

For example: orange is a dual-category word. As a countable noun, it means "orange"; as an adjective, it means "orange"; as an uncountable noun, it means "orange juice". There is only one pronunciation /'orindJ/,

The word form is the same. This makes it much easier to consciously discern memories.

4. Remember words through associative memory. It mainly includes the following forms:

① Contrastive associative memory:

Synonyms: study/learn (study), big/large/great (big), look/see /watch (see), hear/listen (listen), good/fine/well/nice (good),

door/gate (door), like/love/enjoy (like), etc.

Antonyms: such as: big (big) → small (small), dear (expensive) → cheap (cheap), hot (hot) → cold (cold), slow (slow) → quick／fast( Fast), thin (thin) → (fat),

in front of (in front of) → behind (behind), south (south) → north (north), etc.

Homophones: too (also) → two (two), for (for) → four (four), right (correct) → write (write), by (multiple) → buy (buy), blue (blue) →blew (past tense of blow),

sea (ocean) →see (see), son (son) →sun (sun), whether (whether) → weather (weather)

Comparison of similar word forms: want(want)→wait(wait), read(read)→ready(ready), wall(wall)→walk(walk), quite(very)→ Quiet (quiet),

present (gift) → parent (parents), etc. are put together to compare the memory.

At the same time, you can also think of some words with different meanings and shapes. For example: associate cost with pay, take and spend, and compare the usage of these words with relative, identical or identical pronunciation.

②Categorization and associative memory: Classify the learned words into different categories and reasonably classify the learned words.

A. Classify by part of speech. For example: noun driver, name..., verbs be, have, drive..., adjectives careful, happy..., adverbs carefully, happily..., prepositions in, on at...,

Pronouns he, she, him, her …wait.

B. Classify by use. Such as: clothing coat, shirt, skirt, sweater, shoes…, food cake, rice, dumpling, noodle…, sports football, basketball,

race, sport…, transportation traffic, bus, car, taxi, train, plane, ship…, months January, February, March, April…, weeks Monday, Tuesday,

Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and holidays, etc. For example, when learning the word "Christmas", I think of Children's Day, Women's Day,

Teachers' Day, Tree-Planting Day, Mid-autumn Festival, National Day, New Year's Day, Spring Festival and a series of other words. holiday noun.

③Associative memory of word formation: Use the same root word (word form conversion) associative memory and pay attention to the part of speech. There are many words in English that have multiple genders. For example, open can be used as both a verb and an adjective.

Other words have the same root. For example, the word care has both noun and verb properties. Its co-root words are carefully, carefully, careless, and carelessly.

We should focus on memorizing these words. Another example: north→northern, noise→noisy→noisily, etc. Use compound words to associate and memorize. For example, when you learn the word moonlight, you will think of it

It is a compound of the two words moon and light; classroom is a compound of class and room.

④Collocation-associative memory: Using one word as the center and matching different words to form a new phrase. There are many such language phenomena. If you can use this rule frequently, you will firmly remember the phrases you have learned.

For example:

1) Phrases containing get include: get ready for to prepare for..., get up to get up, get on, with to get along with others, get down, get dressed, put on clothes,

get back; come back, got on, get off, get to, get out of, get lost.

2) Phrases containing go include: go swimming, goes on, go to school, go to bed, goes home,

go out for a walk, go away, goes down, go back, go on with to continue doing something

3) Phrases containing look include: look at, 1ook after ; take care of, look the same, 1ook like, 1ook for,

1ook up (in a dictionary, reference book), 1ook over (doctor) check, 1ook around ( round) look around

4) Phrases containing make include: make room for, make sentences with, make a face or made faces,

be made in, be made of, make tea, make friends with, make up, made a mistake,

make sure, make sure, make a noise

5) Phrases containing take include: take your time, take your time, take, medicine, take a walk, take, exercise

take turns take turns; replace, take care of take care of; take care of, take, out of take away; take out, taking off take off, take a message for send a message to...

p>

6) Phrases containing come include: came into, come down, come in, come over, come from, come back,

come round )/ comes over, come on, come on, come out (flower) bloom; come out, come along, hurry up, hurry up

7) Phrases containing turn include: turn off, turn, up Turn on the radio, etc.), turn on (lights, etc.), turn down (turn on the radio, etc.),

turned white, turn left.

8) Phrases containing have include: have to have to, have an idea, have a rest, have breakfast, have a look,

have a good time, have better, have a drink of Drink a little

As long as you pay more attention and consciously pay attention to summarizing, it is not difficult to memorize words and phrases.

In addition, when the teacher plays the reading tape in class, he does not just listen, but writes it down quickly while listening, so that the ears, heart, hands and eyes can be used together. In short, for those newly learned words, you should take the trouble to memorize them repeatedly through various methods such as reading, writing, and memorizing. If you repeat it a certain number of times, it will become a long-term memory and will not be forgotten.

(5) Memorizing words requires diligence and seize the scattered time to memorize. When memorizing words, in addition to the above methods, you must also do "five to" ①Think with your brain - you must think about it when memorizing the word, and don't slack off.

②Think with your eyes - carefully observe the way the word is written. ③Think with your mouth - Read the word with your mouth. ④ Listen to your pronunciation. ⑤ Write the word with your hands on the desk or paper.

Be sure to memorize it. Use all your organs and believe that you will be able to remember more words. Some students think that word recognition is really troublesome, but it is not troublesome if you do it consciously. If you do this for a long time, you will develop a habit of thinking about it every time you encounter a word. A foreign language expert once said: "At least a thousand words." >It takes twenty times for you to remember it. "Students, think about it, how many times have the words you learned appeared in front of you? Now you may have found the reason why you can't remember the words?

(6) Learn English well and do it It is also very important to preview before class and review after class. You should preview before studying each lesson.

Previewing is like "firepower". "Reconnaissance" can help you discover weak links in your own knowledge. Quickly make up for this part of knowledge before class, so that you will go smoothly when understanding new knowledge.

Some students do not listen well, including One of the main reasons is not doing a good job in previewing. Previewing before class is the basis for students to learn new lessons well and achieve efficient learning results. At the end of the day, listening to lectures will become passive and difficult to digest, and you will lose confidence in accepting new lessons. On the contrary, if you prepare well before class, you can not only clear the obstacles in listening to the class in advance, but also cultivate the ability of self-study. ability, and can increase the interest in learning new lessons and take the initiative in learning.

First of all, be familiar with and be able to remember most of the new words and correct the pronunciation of the new words. , you should listen to the audio tape of the text in time. Under normal circumstances, you should listen to it 2-3 times continuously and read it aloud. The purpose is to correct the pronunciation of new words, imitate the pronunciation and intonation of reading the text, and improve your speaking ability. . Using this method to correct the pronunciation of words can also enhance your sense of language.

When doing self-study, do you often encounter difficult problems? How do you deal with them? Of course, the first thing to do is to correct the pronunciation of words. You have to think carefully, analyze and deliberate from multiple angles.

If you go through a lot of troubles to get to the bottom of a certain problem, you will feel an indescribable feeling. It's fun. If you really can't figure it out, you can ask your teacher or classmates for help, and never let go of any difficult questions.

2. Grammar

Grammar is the basis for learning English well. It is a tool for mastering English. After you have mastered a certain vocabulary, it is very necessary to know some grammar knowledge. Fill in the blanks is an important question type to test grammar.

. It can test nouns, verbs, pronouns, adjectives, adverbs, conjunctions, prepositions, numerals, etc. in a wide range of ways.

There are only a handful of them. Why do I still make mistakes in the end after practicing them many times? This phenomenon of making mistakes again and again is common among students, that is, if a certain topic has been done wrong before, it will be wrong in the future. When I see this question again, I still get it wrong or even make the same mistake. I think the key to the problem is that you don't fully understand the cause of the mistake or you don't pay enough attention to it.

You should correct every question you make. Questions must be carefully and carefully analyzed and thought about: Where is the mistake? Is it due to ignorance of the knowledge point or carelessness? How to correct it? How to avoid similar mistakes? Is it still possible? Are there other solutions? After this reflection, record them in the "wrong question bank". You can basically prevent mistakes from happening when you encounter similar questions in the future.

Especially those questions that are easily affected by fixed thinking should be handled in this way, otherwise it will be easy to repeat the same mistakes.

Tense learning is the most troublesome grammar project for Chinese students. Because Chinese people only have changes in time in language expression, but not the concept of tense. However, when things expressed in English are at different times, they need to use different tenses. The key expression of the state is on the predicate verb of the sentence. Sometimes it is easy to memorize the rules, but mistakes often occur in the use of sentences. To accurately grasp the five basic tenses in junior high school, it is important to use them more in sentences.

1. Master the general usage of linking verbs such as be, feel, look, get, turn, etc. with predicates.

2. Master the difference in usage between continuous verbs and instantaneous verbs. This type of verb is mainly reflected in the past tense and perfect tense.

1. In the present perfect tense, the continuous verb can be used with the prepositional phrase for or since that expresses a period of time, while the present perfect tense of the terminal verb cannot be used with a period of time. For example:

I have bought this dictionary for three years．

I have bought this dictionary for three years. (Incorrect)

Bought (past participle of buy) in the previous sentence is a terminal verb. It cannot be used with a phrase indicating a time period. If it is used together, the structure must be changed, which can be changed to: I have had this

dictionary for three years． Therefore, when studying, you should pay attention to convert terminating verbs into continuous verbs. Common conversions between terminating verbs and continuous verbs include: come→be here, begin/start→be on, borrow→keep, buy→have, die→be dead, end/finish→be over , get up→be up,

go(get)out→be out, asleep→be asleep, leave→be away from, join→be in／be a member of, put on→wear, < /p>

catch a cold→have a cold, etc.

The functions of will, shall, have and be in sentences. Summarize the tenses and remember their structure.

Master the tense changes of action verbs speak, write, read... in sentences. The five basic tenses required to be mastered in the "Outline". Understand the concepts of various tenses, master the

structure in sentences and the time adverbials that indicate tenses. At the same time, you must also understand the other three tenses "past continuous tense, past future tense, and past perfect tense."

The five basic tenses are listed below:

Tense time structure:

Simple present tense

often, usually, always, sometimes, every day (week…), on Sunday, He/She/It+verbs, I/We/You/They+verb base form

Simple past tense

yesterday, … ago, last week, in 2001 Subject + past tense of verb

Present continuous tense

now, subject + be + present participle

Present future tense

p>

tomorrow, next week subject+will/be going to+verb base form

present perfect tense

already, yet, ever, never, for+a period of time, since+time starting point He/She/It has + past participle, I/We/ You/They have + past participle

Verbs are very important in language communication. Grammar is just a tool for learning English well. Use this tool to improve yourself self-learning ability. In the process of understanding tenses, pay attention to the clues in the previous and following sentences or

the context before and after. Pay attention to the basic changes in verbs.

Example 1: (2003 Beijing)

---What are Mr and Mrs Black doing?

---They _______ tea in the garden.

A. are drinking B. drank C. have drunk D. drink

Analysis

This question tests the present continuous tense.

From the context analysis of the previous sentence, we know that the action occurs at this moment. Find the structure of the verb part, eliminate interference, and get the correct answer. The question in this sentence is asking "What are the Blacks doing?"

The answer should be "Now...", and the structure of the present continuous tense is "be (am, is, are) + present participle" .

Example 2 (2003 Chongqing City)

---I don't know if his uncle___________.

---I think he _________if it doesn' t rain.

A． comes; comes B． will come; will come

C. comes; comes D． comes; will come

Analysis

This question examines the application of two tenses in context. First identify what clause the if is introducing, and then determine the respective tenses based on the context. The first empty if introduces the object clause after the transitive verb,

It means "whether". The main clause of the sentence is the present tense, and the action of the object clause has not yet happened, so the future tense is used; the second The empty if guide is a conditional adverbial clause. The conditional clause uses the present simple

tense, and the predicate verb of the main clause uses the future tense.

3. Communication

The "Outline" points out that "enable students to master certain basic knowledge and basic skills of language, establish a preliminary sense of language, acquire the initial ability to use English, and lay the foundation for real communication. Base". The key to learning a language

is application. Do students pay attention to their English speaking practice? We do not have an environment for speaking foreign languages, but we must try our best to create it. After getting up every morning, you should read English for at least 5 minutes.

Reading aloud can not only practice pronunciation and develop a good sense of language, but also plays an important role in improving listening skills that cannot be underestimated. In addition, we should take advantage of every possible opportunity to say hello or talk about things in English with classmates, teachers or other people who understand English. When encountering new words, speak in Chinese and English. You may not get used to it at first, but it doesn’t matter. As long as you persist, you will get results.

Professor Bauli Aristide, a linguist from the former Soviet Union, can speak fifteen foreign languages ??fluently. He said: "As soon as I learn 100 words, I will speak in this language immediately. A person who is afraid of making mistakes will never be able to speak an authentic foreign language." It seems that if you want to practice speaking well, you must You really need to have the spirit of "shameless and sharp-tongued".

4. Reading

1. How do you develop your reading ability?

Reading comprehension is more difficult and must be based on sufficient vocabulary. Reading training can only be carried out. It is an important sign to check the level of your English learning. Do you spend

a lot of effort in reading? If you want to improve your reading level, in addition to studying textbooks, you must consciously expand your reading volume, increase your reading speed, and master reading skills outside of class. Develop the habit of reading English

reading materials after school. At the beginning, due to the limitation of vocabulary, you can read some simpler articles and try to read simple reading materials without new words. As your vocabulary grows, your appetite

will grow too. You should read more original articles, which will not only broaden your horizons, but also learn a lot of knowledge. Over time, your vocabulary will be enriched and your understanding will be greatly improved. Start by deliberately reading some short articles on popular science, history, geography, environmental protection, and medical and health care. Some students often encounter this problem: it is the article itself

For me, there are no new words, but deviations often occur when doing reading comprehension questions. Of course, this situation is more of a test designed for reading comprehension. It means that you have encountered obstacles in understanding during the reading process. Therefore, it is also very important to master some answering skills in reading comprehension.

For example:

Reading Comprehension (1)

about the weather, but nobody does anything about it." people begin their talks by saying, "Isn' t it a nice day?""

Do you think it will rain?" "I think it's going to snow." Many people think they can tell what the weather is going to be

< p>like. But sometimes they don' t agree with each other. One man may say, "Do you see how cloudy it is in the east? It's going

to rain tomorrow. "Another man will say, "Yes, it' s going to be fine tomorrow." People often look for the weather they

want. When a farmer needs water, he looks for something to tell him it' s going to rain, and he doesn't look for anything

else. When friends have a picnic, they hope the weather is going to be fine and they can sit eating their lunch under the

blue sky. Almost everyone listens to what the weatherman says. But he doesn ' t always tell us what we want, and sometimes

he makes a mistake. Still, he is right most of the time.

p>

1.What's the best title for the passage?

A. How to Begin a Talk . B. Story about a Weatherman

C. Weather Report D. About Weather

1. Read the full text to understand the overall framework, main idea and author's intention of the essay, and grasp the main information and the central content of each paragraph. (For example, do each paragraph have the same talking objects or different topics? Whether the paragraph has the same

function, etc.) Carefully understand the center around which the author writes.

2. Be loyal to the original text, and avoid starting from subjectivity and making endless associations.

3. Understand the entire text as a whole, and avoid taking only fragments of the text out of context.

4. Avoid acting hastily. There is often a specious answer among the options. Such answers are particularly disturbing and can easily confuse candidates.

If you make a hasty decision when you find a seemingly correct answer, you will often fall into the trap set by the designer!

Reading Comprehension (2)

Computers are very important to modern life. Many people think that in the future computers will be used in lots of

everyday life . It is thought that we won' t have to go shopping because we will be able to get most things which

are sold in shops on the Internet. There will be no more books because we will be able to get all texts from

computers. The Internet will be used to play games, see films and buy food. Most telephone calls will be made by

computers, too. Some people are glad about these new ways of shopping and communicating. Others do not think that

computers will replace our old ways of life. Let's look at books, for example. Some people think that one day

we will not read books made of paper. Instead, we will buy and read books using computers. We will read texts on small

pocket computers. The computers will keep many different books in them at the same time. We won't need to turn lots of

pages and paper will be saved. Computerized books will be used more and more. Is the Internet shopping such a pleasure < /p>

as going to the shop? Many people say it is not. It is a pleasure to go into shops and look at things you want to buy.

It is also unlikely (not big) Maybe) that many people will want to read large texts on our computers. Because paper books will

perhaps be more friendly. Maybe computers won't change these two habits.

1. The title for this passage is "______".

A. Computers will Replace Shops and Books

B. Computers are the Future

C. Computers will Do Everything for Man

D. How Computers Change Our Habits

A. It is inconsistent with the original meaning, see the last line of the first paragraph.

B. Talk about the whole text People's speculation: In the future, computers will be used in many areas of daily life. Some people think it can change people's old living habits, while others think it cannot.

C. Too absolute, not included in the article Reliable evidence support.

D. "How computers change our habits."

1. "how" means "how, how to use it." The article does not mention how computers Change our habits. The use of computers for reading, making phone calls or shopping in the future mentioned in paragraphs 1 and 2 are just the areas in which it will be

applied in the future, not the methods.

2. The article points out that some habits may not be changed. See the last sentence of the first paragraph "Others do not think that computers will replace our old ways of life."

And the last sentence of the third paragraph "Maybe computers won 't change these two habits".

Reading Comprehension (3)

Reading comprehension not only understands the literal meaning of the article, but also understands the deeper meaning of the article, including the author's attitude and intention. wait. When doing reading comprehension questions, different methods are usually required for different question types.

You need to pay attention to the following two points when answering inference questions:

First: make inferences based on the essence of things, not phenomena.

Second: Make inferences based on the author’s ideas and the facts provided by the article itself, rather than the reader’s own experience and opinions.
