Is it easy to learn English? There must be many students who say "it's hard to die". Why do many students have a headache about English learning? There is only one answer: "There is no law." English is a language as well as Chinese. Why do you speak Chinese so fluently? That's because you are in a Chinese-speaking environment. If you stay in London for half a year, you will speak fluent English. However, the English environment of many middle school students is not good, so you can set up an English environment by yourself and insist on "speaking more", "listening more", "reading more" and "writing more", then your English scores will be excellent. First, talk more. Create more opportunities for yourself to speak English with English teachers. When you meet classmates, especially with good friends, try to greet and talk about your feelings in English ... then you need to carry a small English-Chinese translation dictionary with you. When you meet new words, you don't have to remember them deliberately. If you use it a lot, the word will be remembered naturally. Never take learning English as a burden, and always take it as an interesting thing to do. Maybe if you have a chance to meet a foreigner, you should boldly go up and say hello to him and talk about the weather, scenery and school ... just don't ask him personal questions such as his age and marriage history. Try to talk to him with some words and sentences you have learned. Soon you will find it much easier to talk with foreigners than to speak English with China people. Because he uses many simple words when he talks to you, and he doesn't pay much attention to expression. As long as the pronunciation is accurate, we will be able to communicate smoothly. You just have to be confident and dare to express your ideas. It doesn't matter if you don't have the right partner. You can take a book or something as the object of imagination and talk about what you have seen and heard in a day, your happiness, your sadness and so on. If you insist on doing this, your spoken English will certainly be greatly improved. Second, "listen" to find all the opportunities to listen to English. When others talk in English, you should boldly participate and listen to the pronunciation of all kinds of people, regardless of gender, age, fast-paced and slow-paced. If such opportunities are rare, you can choose articles you don't know, which will be of great help to yourself. Listening to the tapes of the learned texts will be of great help to your language intonation learning. Third, read more books. "Reading" can be divided into two types. One is "silent reading". Practicing for a certain time every day will be of great benefit to you to improve your reading speed. What you read can be your textbook, but it's better to have some interesting little books, because the English college entrance examination now pays more and more attention to reading quantity and reading speed. The score of each question has a great relationship with your comprehension ability, so after three years of reading training in high school, you will definitely win the college entrance examination. The other is "reading aloud", which is an indispensable way to learn a language. Fourth, "write" more. Some students always complain that time is tight and there is no time to write compositions. In fact, there are many forms of "writing", and it is not necessary to improve writing ability just by writing. For example, write down some important things that happened in your day, or learn a phrase that day. You can create a context and use this word appropriately. This will help you remember the usage of this word and exercise your writing ability. For example, when learning the word "wish", you can write a short paragraph like this: Teachers often ask us what kind of people we want to be in the future. My good friend Tom hopes to be a soldier. I'm different anyway. I hope I will be a teacher in the future. But my mother wants me to be a doctor. Just a few words: however, several usages of wish have jumped from the page, which will impress you a lot and be much more interesting and relaxed than memorizing the usage of wish. It doesn't take much time to learn English. Walking 10 minutes can practice "talking". You can read English novels for a while after dinner and listen to English for a few minutes before going to bed, which can make you have a better rest ... As long as you spend some time practicing English every day, your English score will definitely improve quickly. Memorizing English words skills 1, circular memory Ebbinghaus forgetting curve The human brain is a treasure house of memory, and the things that the human brain has experienced, the problems that it has thought about, the feelings and emotions it has experienced, and the actions it has practiced can all be the contents of human memory. For example, in English learning, words, phrases, sentences, and even the content of articles are all accomplished by memory. There is a process from "memory" to "memory", including memory, retention, cognition and memory. Many people only pay attention to the memory effect at that time in the process of learning English. Who knows, it takes some effort to learn and remember well. Simply paying attention to the memory effect at that time and ignoring the later maintenance and recognition will not achieve good results. In information processing, memory is the process of encoding, storing and extracting input information. From the perspective of information processing, the first learning and reciting of English is only a process of coding input. Physiologically speaking, human memory ability is amazing. It can store 10 15 bits (bytes) of information, but only 10% of everyone's memory treasure house has been excavated, and there is still more memory space. This is because some people only pay attention to the effect of memory at that time, but ignore the bigger problem in memory-the firmness of memory, which involves the law of memory forgetting that is often said in psychology. I. Explanation of Ebbinghaus's Law of Memory Curve There was a famous German psychologist named hermann ebbinghaus (1850- 1909). After his experimental report was published in 1885, memory research became one of the most studied fields in psychology, and Ebbinghaus was the first person to discover the law of memory forgetting. As far as we know, memory retention is different in time, including short-term memory and long-term memory. The process of our usual memory is this: the input information becomes short-term memory after learning in the process of people's attention, but if it is not reviewed in time, these remembered things will be forgotten, and after timely review, these short-term memories will become long-term memories of people, thus maintaining them in the brain for a long time. So, for us, what is forgetting? Forgetting means that we can't recognize or recall what we have already remembered, or that we can't recognize and recall something wrong. These are forgetfulness. Ebbinghaus took himself as the test object when he did this experiment, and he came to some conclusions about memory. He chose some meaningless syllables, that is, many letter combinations that can't spell words, such as asww, cfhhj, ijikmb, rfyjbc and so on. He got some data after self-testing. Then, Ebbinghaus drew a curve according to these points, which is a very famous curve to reveal the law of forgetting: Ebbinghaus forgetting curve, in which the vertical axis represents the amount of knowledge remembered in learning, the horizontal axis represents time (days), and the curve represents the law of memory change. This curve tells people that forgetting in learning is regular and the process of forgetting is unbalanced. It's not fixed to lose a few in one day and a few in the next day. The speed of forgetting in the initial stage of memory is very fast, and then it gradually slows down. Time is long, almost no longer forgotten. This is the development law of forgetting, that is, the principle of "fast first and then slow". Observing this forgetting curve, you will find that after one day, if you don't review quickly, you will only have 25% of your original knowledge. As time goes on, the speed of forgetting slows down and the number of forgetting times decreases. Someone did an experiment. Two groups of students learned a text. Group A reviewed soon after learning, while Group B did not review. After one day, group A retained 98% and group B retained 56%. After one week, group A retained 83% and group B retained 33%. The average forgetting rate of group B is higher than that of group A. Second, different materials have different forgetting curves. Moreover, Ebbinghaus also found that memorizing 12 meaningless syllables requires an average of 16.5 repetitions. In order to remember 36 meaningless chapters, it needs to be repeated 54 times; Reciting six poems with 480 syllables only needs to be repeated 8 times on average! This experiment tells us that all the knowledge we understand can be remembered quickly, comprehensively and firmly. Otherwise, rote learning will be thankless. So those meaningful materials are easier to remember, while those meaningless materials take more effort in memory and are not easy to recall later. Therefore, Ebbinghaus' forgetting curve is a kind of forgetting curve, and for meaningless syllables, Ebbinghaus' drawing forgetting curves of different materials is different from other materials, but basically the same. Therefore, Ebbinghaus's experiment fully proves to us a truth: study should be diligent in reviewing, and the better the understanding effect of memory, the slower the speed of forgetting. Third, different people have different Ebbinghaus memory curves-personalized Ebbinghaus above Ebbinghaus memory curve is a curve generated by Ebbinghaus after a lot of tests in the laboratory, which is a common group law. This memory curve does not consider the individual's personality characteristics, but seeks a memory law at a balance point. But the law of memory can be specific to each of us, because our different physiological characteristics and life experiences may lead to different memory habits, ways and characteristics. Law can only play a catalytic role in the transformation of the world by natural persons. If it conforms to everyone's memory characteristics, it is like sailing against the current, a thousand miles a day; If it goes against the characteristics of personal memory, the memory effect will be greatly reduced. Therefore, according to everyone's different characteristics, find the Ebbinghaus memory curve 2 that suits you. How to make up your mind to learn English persistently? As a language skill, anyone can master it through a lot of training and practice. Generally speaking, the principle of English learning is to take the lead in listening and speaking and keep up with reading and writing. Li Yang's crazy English advocates that we should first establish confidence in learning English well, then imitate a lot in sentences, practice crazily and read aloud, and finally speak English freely. His method is very effective in improving my oral English. Professor Zhong Daolong began to learn English at the age of 45. A year later, he went abroad to study and became an interpreter, creating a reverse learning method of English, which is urgent, urgent and fast. He also suggested that learning English should follow the methods of listening, writing, speaking, remembering and thinking. His method emphasizes listening and writing down everything he hears. In particular, his learning spirit is the best. He used more than a dozen tape recorders to learn English. You can imagine how much English he listened to. The used ballpoint pen core is almost full of a can. You can imagine how much he wrote. In a year and a half, he accumulated about 3000 hours of spare-time English learning time, which means that he spends several hours learning English every day. If we do as he does, we will certainly learn English well. The most important thing is persistence. As long as you can make up your mind to learn English for at least one hour every day and beat yourself, you will certainly gain something. Pay attention to methods, make up your mind step by step, and pay attention to learning methods. Sometimes you will choose different learning methods according to your own situation and different learning purposes, but you must learn English step by step. We should master the basic knowledge, that is, correct pronunciation, basic vocabulary, basic sentence patterns and basic grammar. (1) Please pass the voice pass. Pronounce each phonetic symbol correctly, pay attention to correcting problematic phonemes, especially those that are easily confused, master international phonetic symbols as soon as possible, and try to master some pronunciation rules as soon as possible, so that you can use them to spell words as soon as possible. Mastering pronunciation rules is very useful for memorizing and spelling words. (2) Master a certain number of English words. It is difficult for learners to master English vocabulary. Learning words should be mastered from three aspects: form, sound and meaning, pay attention to the polysemy of words, the use of multiple words, and learn some knowledge of word formation to expand vocabulary. To learn words, we should learn in language materials, remember words vividly through sentences and reading articles in combination with phrases, and it is difficult to remember words by rote. Before reading and speaking, listen repeatedly. When listening, you should reflect the meaning and rhythm of words and sentences, and think about the spelling and sentence structure of words. And it should be organically combined with learning grammar rules. (3) Master basic grammar. Grammar is also very important in English learning. It can help us master the basic rules of English. We should remember the dead grammatical rules through examples or language phenomena, and master the living rules through doing a lot of exercises. In short, learning English should be practiced by listening, speaking, reading, writing and translating. We should pay attention not only to quantity, but also to quality, especially to master the basic knowledge accurately and skillfully. Only after a lot of practice can practice make perfect and use it freely. Preview in advance, targeted as a student, preview the text to be learned in advance before each class. First of all, try to spell words with phonetic symbols, or listen and compare them repeatedly with supporting tapes, mark the uncertain words, pay attention to the teacher's pronunciation in class, and remember the Chinese meaning and part of speech of words. Preview the text with notes or tutoring materials, find out what you don't understand, and be aware of it. Pay attention to these places when the teacher lectures. In a word, the purpose of preview is to get familiar with what you want to learn, find out what you don't understand, listen to the class with questions and have a clear aim. Listening carefully and actively cooperating with the classroom are the main places for teachers and students to learn, master and apply knowledge together. As a leading teacher, it is necessary to guide students to do a good job in classroom teaching, but it also needs the active cooperation of learners. Listen carefully, take notes, practice seriously and think positively in class. Problems in the preview that the teacher didn't talk about in class should be raised with the teacher and made clear. Pay attention to the problems taught by the teacher first, take notes after class, think about these problems repeatedly, and grasp the key points, difficulties and test sites mentioned by the teacher. In short, in class, we should listen more, watch more, speak more, think more, and mobilize a variety of senses. Finish your homework and find out the problem. After learning every lesson, you should finish your homework carefully. When you do your homework, you must not look at the answers to the questions in the reference books. After you have finished, you should check your answers. You should write down the questions you don't understand in your homework and ask them next class. Doing homework is a very important link in English learning. It is a process of digesting and consolidating knowledge. Be sure to finish the prescribed homework carefully, write in written homework, use your mouth in oral homework, practice your ears and improve your listening. On the basis of listening and reading, we'd better recite some wonderful paragraphs. In a word, you should do a lot of exercises. English comes from practice, don't be lazy. Review and consolidate knowledge in time. What you have learned will gradually be forgotten over time, but it is normal to forget when learning a language. Not to mention forgetting affects your confidence and determination to learn English well. The problem is how to reduce the degree of forgetting. Be good at analogy, sum up knowledge, and compare and connect the newly learned knowledge with the related knowledge learned in the past horizontally and vertically. Establish error file records to deepen the impression and avoid repeating the same mistakes. Most of our knowledge and skills are acquired through repetition, and timely review is very necessary for memory. Learning English means practicing every day and repeating basic sentence patterns, common vocabulary and basic grammar. The process of learning English is also a process of resisting forgetting. In short, as long as you make up your mind to study, pay attention to learning methods, preview before class, listen carefully, finish your homework and review in time, you will certainly learn English well. To learn English well and communicate with foreigners, you must be proficient in listening, speaking, reading and writing. The order of importance is listening-speaking-reading-writing. First, the importance of listening, speaking, reading and writing: the importance of listening and speaking is self-evident. Reading is to understand all kinds of knowledge and improve thinking, while writing is to improve language expression ability and language organization ability, at the same time, it causes deeper thinking and makes thinking more advanced, that is, smarter. You can focus on listening, speaking, reading and writing at different time periods according to your own preferences. 1. Listening strategies 1) Intensive listening: suitable for short passages. Listen extensively for the first time, then understand sentence by sentence, listen sentence by sentence, read sentence by sentence and write it down completely. If you really don't understand, just read the textbook and then listen to this sentence. If you don't understand, listen to it several times. Find out the context after listening, read it several times at the same time, and then listen completely after reading it until you can understand it easily. 2) Listen first: suitable for short stories or long stories. Listen to the text first and repeat it several times. If it is long, choose the simplest words and sentences at the most appropriate time and write down the main idea. If it's short, try to write down every sentence. Wait until you have a basic understanding, then open the book and read the text. When reading, pay attention to what you didn't understand just now, understand and sort out all the sentences, then close the book and listen again until you can understand them. 3) Extensive listening: I don't want to understand, I just want to listen more, and sometimes I can talk nonsense. 4) Listen to English programs and watch English movies. Note: When listening to the dialogue, write down different characters in different places and don't mix them together. 2. Oral strategy 1) blurt out 2) Read the phonetic symbols correctly and read the intonation. If you want to blurt it out, you can practice it in some ways. A memorize: when you get an article, read it first, remember to translate it in your mother tongue, and then repeat it in Chinese. Be sure to know the relationship between the upper and lower parts of the article like the back of your hand (don't memorize it, otherwise the effect will be very different). At this time, you can forget your mother tongue and recite directly in English thinking. You can memorize it several times, and then you can blurt it out again and again at regular intervals. There is a big difference between memorizing and blurting out. Only by spending a lot of time on your back can you achieve the degree of blurting out. B Find some common spoken English to remember, and master some on every occasion, focusing on the sentences you need, such as at work. After mastering it, repeat it, and the memory will blurt out from time to time. Remember that you would rather recite less and remember less, but remember that you are very skilled. When you see a phenomenon or thing or scene or feel it, you should express it in English at the first time. D create a topic or scene by yourself and talk to yourself. E Find foreigners or go to chat rooms or other opportunities to chat with others in English. Note: Sometimes, for some good articles, you can link listening and speaking together and turn them into your own articles. When you listen carefully or listen first, and then repeat the article in Chinese, you can throw away your mother tongue, recite it directly in English thinking, recite it several times, and blurt it out again and again. 3. Reading strategy: Whether reading is good or not depends on the speed and accuracy of reading. 1) Read novels, works, etc. They are very long: focus on training language sense and speed, and you can also understand a few words and phrases properly. Generally, this kind of articles are mainly based on relatively simple new words. 2) Read the long chapters in the text (the number of words is subject to high school): the first time is based on speed and language sense. By paying attention to conjunctions, the relationship between topic sentences and ending sentences, the genre and context of the article, we can quickly understand the general idea of the article. 23 ..... The purpose is to solve difficult problems, memorize sentences, phrases and words, sort out the author's thoughts, find out which sentence is the topic sentence and which sentence is the ending sentence, and find out which genre. Ways to master the genre quickly: a narrative: always explain the time and place of the characters and events at the beginning, and then describe the reasons for the events in detail. B argument: the author puts forward the argument first, and then makes a comparative analysis or demonstration with examples to draw a conclusion. C the author of the explanatory text first puts forward the object of explanation, and then explains it from different aspects. 4. Reading strategy: 1) It is best to read a long article without reciting it or understanding it carefully. Just know the general meaning, the key is to look at the phonetic symbols and intonation. 2) while listening to the tape, imitate it, preferably long. 5. Writing strategy: keep a diary according to the composition you are interested in or very concerned about (it is best to write narrative, descriptive and argumentative articles), occasionally abbreviate an article (only abbreviate the good article, abbreviate the back), or write a post-reading feeling (it can be to evaluate how this article is written, it can be to evaluate the people or things in this article, and it can also be the social reality that the author wants to express through this article). Writing Guidance: 1) Writing should be easy before difficult, short before long, simple sentences before complex sentences, from infinite time to limited time, from limited time to short time. 2) Read excellent compositions, accumulate excellent sentences and think about the author's writing ideas. 3) Avoid Chinglish, prefer simplicity, cultivate a rigorous atmosphere and use punctuation correctly. Writing skills: 1) Write Sentence A: Simplicity of language: replace phrases with words. Replace clauses with phrases. Avoid structural duplication. If you use clearly instead of clearly, do you know the person who spoke at the meeting instead of knowing the person who spoke at the meeting? The world-famous city N is located in the center of Beijing. Located in the center of Beijing, the Forbidden City is famous all over the world. The first sentence focuses on the location of the Forbidden City. The second sentence focuses on its popularity in the world. 3) Write a flip-chip structure, such as a car coming. If you come by car, it looks ordinary. 4) Repetition: It can be emphasized and sometimes repeated, for example, Morey is very short, very short. (However, in some places, structural repetition should be avoided, and repetition here plays an important role. I'm just ignorant, not very clear. If anyone knows, please advise. ) 5) Focus on using words or sentences. For example, what are you talking about? Write a good article A. Before writing, you can think about the whole idea or make an outline, and then choose the position of the topic sentence, which can be at the beginning of the sentence. Located at the end of the sentence, it makes readers have suspense and encourages readers to read; Sentences are also good, but they should be used properly and appear natural. After determining the orientation, choose the main points (including striking facts, events and statistical data) or the doubtful points (questions and disputes) to compare (leading to the theme through comparison) and write a topic sentence. For example, this sentence is controversial. After writing, see if the topic sentence is clear. 1. See if the author of the topic sentence can see the exact theme of this paragraph at a glance. 2. See if the topic sentence can be expanded, so that there is a topic to talk about below. B extension sentence: be simple, that is, write around the theme and not deviate from the center. Be coherent, coherent and clear. The use of and but ... is very helpful for the coherence of the article. And the skills of the previous sentence can be applied to extended sentences. 3. Conclusion: Stick to the theme. The main types are exclamation, question, summary, metaphor, generalization and famous sayings. The conclusion sentence is dispensable. 6. Understand the appropriate cultural differences between China and Britain. 7. Learn proper English proverbs and idioms. 8. Words and phrases are the foundation. The ways to remember words and phrases are as follows: a. Remember synonyms and antonyms; B remember the verb, description and noun form of a word; C Remember words similar to words D Remember similar words such as (fruits and vegetables, clothes, body composition, different countries, daily necessities ...) E Remember words in various fields respectively ... For example, when you are learning telephone English, learn telephone-related words F through articles to remember words and phrases F. Remember a word-expanded phrase in groups, such as take out take off take on 9. Singing: To learn to sing, it is best to translate the lyrics first, then read them fluently and emotionally, and finally recite them. The next step is ok, but it is easy to forget without previous training, so we should make a review strategy. 10. Review: including reviewing the back and reading the back: every word, phrase, phrase, sentence and article written in the notebook should be read and memorized once in a while. Forgetting is from fast to slow, and you have to remember it again in two hours. Remember it twice a day. After that, it is best to remember it every other day until a long-term memory is formed. For good phrases, sentences and articles, you should recite them repeatedly until you blurt them out, recite them again, and then find notes to review. Reading: All the articles you have read (preferably with tapes, you can follow them) should be read aloud at a certain time, preferably in the morning. I think except these materials, all the materials I have read can be thrown aside. Of course, you should keep your articles, good or bad, and enjoy a little progress. 1 1. Of course, when you can keep learning English, you should also be careful not to learn in the wrong direction. If you focus on less important aspects of your study, knowledge is equivalent to wasting a lot of time. Therefore, it is very important to exchange learning methods with others and discuss your own learning methods with others to prevent yourself from learning in the wrong direction. Conclusion: Learning English depends on your interests, good methods, persistence and as many learning methods as possible. Don't blindly improve reading or memorizing words ... it's boring and won't last long. Of course, everyone's learning situation is different and their personality is different, so the methods are definitely different ... Don't find a study plan and method that suits you ... it's better to be complete. Because only in this way, no matter what you do, or work or play or do, when you look at your notebook, you will know what you want to learn ... In addition, when you are looking for articles to read, you should try to choose the articles you like to read, not to mention the articles you recite. Only in this way can you improve your interest ... in short, you will learn well if you want to learn well. . I think so, too. What do you think? Of course, the above methods are based on my own research and thinking, and are suitable for self-taught English learners. The main feature is a comprehensive summary of listening, speaking, reading and writing. Some of them are written according to their own situation, but I believe everyone can still get some enlightenment. However, due to my limited ability, there may be many inadequacies. I hope you can understand and help me.
Satisfied, please adopt.
