1. Have a correct learning attitude
1. Study hard and practice hard. There is no shortcut to learning English. To truly master English and be able to use it freely, you have to work hard. Working hard means doing a lot of listening, speaking, reading and writing training to achieve proficiency in each skill. You should understand language knowledge, but it is difficult to master English as a communication tool without working hard on listening, speaking, reading and writing, and just relying on rote memorization of some isolated words and some grammar clauses. It should be Learning English rather than Learning about English. Just like learning to swim or dance ballet, no matter how good you master the theory, you will never learn it without repeated training.
2. Be persistent. Since learning English is a process of practicing kung fu, it is not that easy. Don't be afraid of difficulties and keep learning. Learning is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. The most taboo is "three days of fishing and two days of drying the net." It must be accumulated over time and make long-term efforts. People are valued for their ambition, and learning is valued for their perseverance.
2. Master the correct learning methods
1. Pass the pronunciation barrier. Pronunciation is the first level of learning English. If you don't master the correct pronunciation, you won't dare to read aloud and have conversations. If the sentences are not catchy, subsequent training will be difficult. Listen carefully to the teacher's pronunciation and tapes, practice boldly, imitate repeatedly, and compare and correct. Don't be afraid of making mistakes. For Chinese students, achieving completely correct pronunciation is not something that can be accomplished in a day. If you have confidence and patience, you will definitely succeed.
2. Pay attention to the difference between English and Chinese. English and Chinese are two different language systems. For example, short vowels and consonant concatenations in English pronunciation, and syllables ending with fricatives and fricatives are not found in Chinese. English has morphological changes, such as plural noun changes, verb tense changes, etc., but Chinese basically does not. There are also some differences between English grammar and sentence structure and Chinese. The Chinese habits of middle school students are quite solid, which has a certain interference effect on English learning. You must develop good habits from the beginning. Do not use Chinese phonetic notation, and do not use Chinese sentences to copy English sentence patterns. Once you develop the habit of thinking in English through extensive reading and develop a sense of the English language, you will gradually reduce the chance of making "Chinese English" mistakes.
3. Master the rules and get twice the result with half the effort. Although there is no shortcut to learning English, mastering the rules of the English language can get twice the result with half the effort. For example, when memorizing words, you need to connect the relationship between the pronunciation and spelling of the word, that is, master the spelling rules, the compound relationship between prefixes and suffixes with the root or stem, the relationship between antonyms, synonyms and homophones, and the relationship between words. Memorizing words by their relationship in a sentence or language environment makes it easy to remember and interesting. The same goes for learning grammar. Mastering the changes in word forms and sentence patterns is the key to learning grammar. There are many rules, and there are exceptions to various rules. You need to remember them flexibly, and you cannot memorize the rules by rote and generalize.
The key is to find the interest in learning English
Do something semi-illegal to find some excitement:
Playing with satellite dishes can indirectly cultivate interest in English
p>
If you can use satellite reception to reach a certain level, you can receive world-famous TV stations, many of which are English stations, such as BBC, Real Madrid TV channels, and many famous English movie stations, which can help you practice your listening. (If you want to learn to an authentic level);
English is very important to hackers. The higher your skills in cracking encrypted programs, the more good programs you will receive, and your cracking skills are very good. A lot depends on your English level, because a lot of cutting-edge cracking information comes from foreign English websites.
If you are interested in watching and receiving satellite TV programs, it will definitely help improve your English.
If you want to learn English well, you must first develop an interest in English. "Interest is the best teacher." Interest is a huge motivation for learning English. With interest, learning will get twice the result with half the effort. We all have this experience: it is easy to stick to something you like; it is difficult to stick to something you don’t like. Interest is not something you are born with, it needs to be cultivated. Some students said: "I get a headache when I see English. How can I cultivate my interest in English?" Some students said: "I memorize English words today and forget them tomorrow. I am too stupid. Alas, I am not cured." ” This is a sign of lack of confidence.
When I first learned English, I did not master the correct learning methods, did not establish the confidence to win, lacked the courage to overcome difficulties, and lost the motivation to make progress. If I encountered a slight failure, I would surrender to setbacks and bow to difficulties. You will feel that English is a boring subject. After studying for a period of time, your enthusiasm for learning will gradually decrease, and naturally you will not achieve good results. However, as long as you realize the necessity of learning English with the help of teachers, treat English learning with a correct attitude, and use scientific methods to guide learning. At the beginning, participate in more English-related activities, such as singing English songs, playing English games, reading English humorous essays, practicing oral conversations, etc. As time goes by and you understand more, you will become interested. Of course, you will have motivation and desire to learn. Then, we must work diligently and tirelessly like farmers, put in hard work and sweat, and we will surely achieve success and harvest fruitful results. After all, it’s No pains, no gains.
Practicing basic skills is a necessary condition for learning English well. Without a solid foundation in English, it is impossible to continue learning, let alone achieve anything. If you want to have solid basic skills, you must listen carefully and concentrate on each lesson, teach every lesson well, improve classroom efficiency, be down-to-earth, step by step, and achieve the following "five things":
1. "Be attentive" . You should concentrate in class and never slack off for a moment. Your brain should always be in a positive state, your thinking should be active and your ideas should be open. Follow the teacher's lead with your heart, understand every sentence, grasp every link, understand every knowledge point, and more Think more, think more, and be more understanding.
2. "Available". When learning English, you must take class notes. Because human memory is limited, it is impossible for people to forget everything. Memory itself is a process of constantly fighting against forgetting. As the saying goes, "A good mind is worse than a bad pen." You may remember the knowledge taught by the teacher in class, but you will forget it after a while, so it is necessary to take good notes. English knowledge is also accumulated bit by bit. Every word, phrase and sentence structure learned is recorded in the notebook, even in the blank space of the book or between the lines. This is very convenient for future review and consolidation.
3. "Earing". In class, it is very necessary to listen carefully. Not only should you listen carefully to the teacher's explanation of knowledge, but also listen carefully to the pronunciation essentials of the teacher's English speaking, such as pronunciation, intonation, stress, continuous reading, missing explosions, sentence fragmentation, etc., in order to cultivate your own pure English. Authentic spoken English. Listen and understand every knowledge point taught by the teacher, and form feedback in the mind to help memory; understand and understand the questions asked by the teacher so that you can answer them quickly, and compare your classmates' answers to questions to deepen your understanding of the problem and learn from others' strengths. own shortcomings.
4. "Seeing". While listening carefully, you should also follow the teacher with your eyes to observe the teacher's movements, mouth shapes, expressions, writing on the blackboard, drawings, display of teaching aids, etc. When the visual information and auditory information formed in the brain are combined, the impression will be more profound.
5. "Talk to the mouth". It is impossible to learn a language without opening your mouth and speaking. The biggest problem among students is that they cannot read aloud and are too shy to open their mouths. Especially in morning reading classes, students only read with their eyes or read silently, so there is only visual information and no feedback of auditory information in the brain. Of course, the memory will not be too deep, and the oral muscles will not be exercised, which is very difficult. It is difficult to practice pure English. Therefore, we should make full use of the clear-headed time in the morning and read aloud; we should be brave enough to answer the teacher's questions in class, actively participate in discussions and debates among classmates, ask unclear questions in a timely manner after class, overcome shyness, and not be ashamed to ask questions. For the texts you have learned, you should read more, read frequently, and study hard. You can read with a tape recorder, and try your best to imitate the pronunciation and intonation to correct the pronunciation. You should read in a cadence and catchy voice. It is best to memorize some classic articles by heart. Take advantage of all possible opportunities to practice spoken English, such as communicating with foreign teachers, participating in "English Corner" activities, having conversations with classmates, telling English stories, singing English songs, performing English short plays, poetry recitations, etc. In addition to reading the model texts in the textbooks carefully, we should also read more extracurricular readings suitable for our middle school students, which can not only increase our knowledge, broaden our horizons, but also improve our reading level.
To learn English, vocabulary memory is essential. Vocabulary is the basis for learning English well. Without vocabulary, there will be no sentences, let alone articles, so memorizing words is very important to us. Extremely important.
There are two keys to memorizing words:
The first is perseverance: insist on memorizing a certain amount of vocabulary every day, and then go back and review it in a few days. This cycle, repeated memorization, and frequent use will reduce the short-term memory to Long-term memory and firm grasp. It should be noted that once you start, you must persevere and never give up halfway. You must never fish for three days and dry the net for two days.
The second is good memory methods: there are many ways to memorize words. There is no fixed method for learning, but there are good methods for learning. I think Zhang Sizhong's "concentrate word recognition and classification memory" is a good method suitable for middle school students. The 3,500 words that middle school students should master are summarized and divided into categories. They first pass the vocabulary test, then study the textbooks, and use and consolidate their usage in the textbooks. There are many methods of classification. Words with the same vowel or vowel letter combination and the same pronunciation are grouped into one category; centralized memory based on word form, part of speech, synonyms and antonyms, etc.; word formation methods such as the same root, prefix, suffix, synthesis, transformation, derivation, etc. When the same words or phrases are listed together, the memory will be more profound and the memory effect will be more obvious. In this way, if you memorize 40-80 words every day, persevere, associate more, think more, and use more, won't the vocabulary problem be solved? In the process of learning, pay more attention to the usage of words and the matching of phrases, and keep in mind the idiomatic word usage and sentence patterns taught by the teacher. This will not only help us solve problems, but also make it easy to use when writing.
Remembering words, understanding their parts of speech and meanings, mastering their fixed collocations and idiomatic usages, and memorizing various usages of tenses and clauses are only half the work, we still have to apply them into practice Go in. Just like learning to swim, optical theory without applying it in the water does not mean that you have mastered this technology. It is not necessary to engage in question-filled tactics, but a certain amount of typical exercises to consolidate the knowledge learned is essential. Pay attention to basic exercises first, such as after-class exercises and unit synchronization exercises. These are consolidated exercises for classroom knowledge. You cannot aim too high and just think about eating a fat man in one bite. After mastering the basic knowledge, some lose space to do some special exercises in grammar and examination questions. Students are especially encouraged to prepare a "wrong question collection" and record the representative test questions or language points that they usually get wrong so that they can check and fill in the gaps in the future. This way, they can master knowledge with twice the result with half the effort.
English is a language. Either you memorize the words, phrases, sentence patterns and grammar items, or you learn it well. The key lies in using the language, so when learning English, you must pay attention to listening, speaking and reading. , writing, and translation will develop in an all-round way. English learning is first a memorization process and then a practice process. Learning English, no matter what, is indispensable. It is a gradual process that accumulates over time. There is no shortcut, and there is no so-called "quick fix". Being eager for success without doing practical work is a waste of time. Can't learn English well. Any success must be achieved through your own efforts. You must be down-to-earth, diligent, conscientious, study step by step, have a correct attitude, and take setbacks and failures in learning seriously. Failure is not terrible. What is terrible is losing confidence in yourself and being unable to recover. For failure in the exam, calmly analyze and think carefully. As long as you are confident in victory, good at summarizing experience and lessons, keep working hard and keep pursuing, victory will definitely belong to you.
