英语悠选脱口秀 第147期:提高口语的无敌技巧2

 讲解

5.Get More out of Listening

When most students listen to a native English-speaker, they focus¹ on understanding what all the words mean.这个当然也很重要。

但除此之外，Try listening not just to what the words mean, but to how the person says them.看看他们把哪些词连起来说了，哪些词着重读出来了，语气语调是什么样的。

Easier said than done, right?

但不要担心，多多听我们的节目，经过一段时间的积累，你的听力一定会有很大的进步，听力好了之后，模仿起来就更加容易了。

6. Use It or Lose It

There's an expression in English: “Use it or lose it,” which basically² means³ if you don't practice an ability, you might forget it.

记住一个单词最好的办法就是马上使用它。When you learn a new word, try to say it in sentences a few times over the next week and you'll never forget it.

我们每期都会给出例句，一定要多念几遍例句哦。

7. Try not to Study Grammar Too Much

Speaking English fluently⁴ isn't the same as knowing perfect English grammar – even native English-speakers make grammar mistakes!

英语是母语的人也会出现语法错误，所以不用太担心。Fluency⁵ is about being able to communicate. 沟通，能够理解对方在说什么才是最最重要的

8. Don't Be Afraid of Making Mistakes

千万不要怕犯错！

Don't let the fear of saying something wrong stop you from speaking at all.

Even if you think you're making a mistake, keep speaking anyway.

即使你的口语里有错误，只要别人理解你的意思就无所谓的。又不是考试填空。

Plus, the more you speak, the easier it gets, and the more quickly the right words will come to mind.

希望大家都能练成一口流利的英语口语。如果有什么问题我们一起交流讨论哦。
