讲解

Today's key word is Fluency¹

Fluency F-l-u-e-n-c-y

流利 流畅 （名词）

Someone who is fluent in a particular language can speak the language easily and correctly.

Here is an example:

Fluency in spoken English is essential for those who want to study in the UK.

对想要去英国留学的人来说，讲一口流利的英语很重要。

Here are some tips that will help you speak English better than ever.

1. Accept That English Is a Weird² Language

你要先知道英语真的是一种奇怪的语言

Sometimes you can find patterns in English grammar, but other times English doesn't make sense at all.

语法这种东西若有若无，无法捉摸。

Sometimes English is just weird and unexplainable(无法解释).

So a good memory is very useful when talking about learning³ English.

2. Practice makes perfect

每周花一天时间拼命的学几个小时英语并不会让你的口语有很大的提高。

The better way to quickly improve your English is to spend at least a few minutes practicing every day.

If you want to speak English fluently, you need to make it an essential part of your daily life.

比如，你可以每天听听英语悠选的节目，然后跟着读一读。

3. You are an English speaker.

Stop thinking of yourself as someone who is learning English, and start thinking of yourself as someone who speaks English.

遇到自己会说的英语时，就堂堂正正的讲出来，自信对于学英语来说非常非常非常重要。

This also means you need to start thinking in English.

比如你看到公交车，你可能需要先在脑子里获取中文然后再找寻对应的英文。这种中文转化为英文的过程，也会影响英语的熟练程度。

Instead, try imagining a picture of a bus, and then just think the English word “bus”.这很难，也需要很多时间。

Real fluency happens when you stop mentally translating conversations.

4. Remember the Answer Is in the Question

答案就在问题里

If someone asks you a question and you're not sure how to answer, start by thinking about the words used in the question.

For example:

Does he….. Yes, he does.

Can she…. Yes, she can.

Is it…. Yes, it is.

问问题的人其实就把答案给你了，只要你认真听并且能记住他说了什么？考试的时候这一招超级管用。

There are a lot of simple ways and you can make good use of them to make it easier to remember the right words.
