第三十一要诀:利用生活中的小插曲或社会上的偶发事件学习英文 我们也可以将“联想”运用到一些生活的小插曲中。例如:您在马路上走着,不小心扭伤了脚踝。您就可以想象如何用英语把它表达出来。首先,您会查汉英字典德知扭伤是sprain,脚踝是ankle。可是您还需要查一下英汉字典或英英字典关于这些单词的用法,以避免误用。最后您会写出这个句子“I sprained my ankle this morning.” 从生活中学习会得到一些立即的成就感,不信你就试试看! 第三十二要诀:累积实用的佳句,整理制作成卡片 提高英语会话能力,同时又增加词汇量的有效方法之一是将您从书本上,报刊杂志上看到的精彩文句抄录下来,制成卡片。视需要可以分成政治,经济,文学,艺术,体育等类。平时随身带着几张,空闲时就拿出来背背。在会话和写作时往往能真的派上用场。这是增加词汇的有效方法,更是练习英语表达能力的良方。收录的句子不一定要长,有时短句更能言简意赅。 第三十三要诀:把当天发生的事情,用英语写成日记既然说是日记(diary),最好能够每天写。英文能否写的通顺还是次要的问题,能够持续的每天用英文记日记(keep a diary in English)才是最重要的。 日记主要是给自己看的,因此体裁可以较为自由。例如: (I got)up at six.((我)早上六点钟起床。) (I)went to the zoo this afternoon.((我)今天下午去了动物园。) (I was)bitten by a dog around noon.(大约中午时候(我)被一条狗咬了。) 这些句子中括号内的单词都是在记日记时可以省略的。若因时间关系或其他原因无法写出句子或段落,即使只列出一些单词也总比完全不写的好。下面是一篇写的比较完整的日记: It was already eight o''clock,and I was still on the bus to school.I was sure to get into trouble with the teacher.I suddenly remembered she was going to test us.I didn''t study at all since I slept too well last night.Now what should I do? When I walked into the classroom,I looked out of the window.The bees were busy making honey from flowers.The birds also were busy making nets.The sun was shining brightly.As I saw this,a thought struck me:I wished to leave the school at once,to throw my books aside,and to hide in the beautiful world of nature.But I realized I could not do so.If even the bees and birds were so busy at work,then I,a human being,should be ashamed of being idle.I therefore changed my mind and faced the music. (已经八点钟了,但我还坐在开往学校的汽车上。我知道一定会挨老师批评。突然我想了起来,她今天要测验我们。昨天晚上我睡的很香,根本就没有复习。那现在该怎么办呢? 的我走进教室后,向窗外望去。蜜蜂正在花丛间忙着采蜜,小鸟们也在忙着筑巢,阳光一片明媚。看到这一切,我突然有个念头。 我但愿能马上逃离教室,把书本扔到一边,躲藏到美丽的大自然中。但我意识到,我不能这样做。甚至连小鸟和蜜蜂都在忙着工作,我,作为一个人,应该为无所事事而感到羞耻。因此,我改变了注意,准备接受批评。)
