『肆』 怎样快速提高英语口语情景对话能力
1.教材问题
很多人都问,英语教材那么多我到底用什么啊!
新教材每年都在出,老的教材也都在改版,我到底用什么啊~~
那么我以我的学习经历告诉你,经典的就是好用的.语言是一个长期积累的文化沉淀,在十几年内不可能有很大很大的改动,除了潮语in语的增加与丰富(别管这些,很多外国爸爸妈妈都不懂孩子在说什么 咱还是先学清楚基本的),语言的体系是不会变的.
所以我说 老的经典胜过大造噱头的新书.
<疯狂英语>就是典型的垃圾,那个就是洗脑,而且对英语没有什么帮助
首先我给你推荐几个比较好的教材吧~
1.《Look listen learn》(看听学)
这个是英语权威教材《新概念英语》的编者L.G.Alexanda编写的另外一套轻松易懂却又非常实用的教材,一共有四册,其中第四册的难度大约是新概念的第三册和第二册的难度。可不要小看这本书哦,这套书采用了大量的对话,可以完美的训练你的口语、语感、听力等等而且这本书中对语法的诠释一点都不含糊!非常好!这是国内许多外国语学校采用的入门级教材。
2.《new concept English》
如果你没有听说过新概念就太……
新概念作为英语教材的龙头老大,绝对是有他风靡数十年的魅力所在的。而且新概念的配套自学辅导丛书、测试题等等教辅都有很完善的配套。绝对可以满足你的需要的哦
3.《Look Ahead》(展望未来)
这本书是走遍美国的英国妈妈版了。可以说走遍美国就是由于受到这套教材的启发才编写出来的。展望未来是到底的英式发音,并且也是及其贴近英国民俗的一套教材。强化四会技能,也配有教师用书、学生练习册等等。是许多外国语学校的高级教材
4.《走遍美国》
这个也很经典,也是采用了大量的视频图片等等提供了一个全外国的氛围。
5.词汇书里面我比较喜欢的是剑桥《剑桥英语在用初/中/高级词汇》
还有《Tower press的英语词汇系列丛书》 语法书里面《剑桥英语在用初/中/高级语法》
总之英语在用系列都不错
剑桥出版社的哦~~
. 听力与口语方面
我就混在一起说了因为这两个是相辅相成的.
我们经常说听说听说,听力和口语是分不开的.只有你口语发音准确,知道单词的正确发音,你的耳朵才能在第一时间里面正确接受到对方的信息,准确捕获这个词...所以对于很多对于英语听力非常苦恼的朋友来说,其实英语听力的瓶颈不是在于听力.而是在于-----口语!!!而且尤其是你的单词发音是否标准....
举个很简单的例子.horizen 这个词的发音音标应该是/he'raizen/但是很多人都发成/'horizen/ 那么你脑中有个错误的期待,怎么可能捕捉到那个正确的单词呢?!在当你苦苦的等待你脑海中期待的那个单词的时候,正确的单词早就飞过去了.....
所以,我推荐你买本专业训练听力的书,分三步来做.书随便什么都可以啦~你要是想要我给你推荐的话.英语初级/中级/高级听力不错
第一步.
按照书上的要求来听.只要把题目作出来即可.部要求你全部听懂,只要求你听关键词.
第二步
题目答案全部对完以后,把书仍在一边.重听这个dialogue,或者独白也好....
你自己反复听(但是不可以按暂停哦~)听懂每个句子
第三步!!!!
做听写.最好中途不要按暂停.把你多听几遍(最好三遍以内)能把整个文章写出来,再与听力原文做对比~~~
然后再回过去看你的题目,看看你的题目都会不会做了...
如此只要你能够坚持每天听三篇 坚持听两周,绝对有突飞猛进的进步....
.阅读和作文
多背新概念,把每个经典句子牢牢记住,写作文用上的时候绝对是亮点,我高中三年英文作文没有扣分超过两分的。
还有就是多用同义词替换。比如描写一个东西很大 你可以用big large gigantic titanic gargantuen tremendous huge giant之类的,不要重复使用一个词,同义词越多你的作文亮点就越多,比如important可以用significant eccential之类的替代。
同义词要靠你平时去积累了。
还有就是活用一些词的生僻含义,比如immediate,把它活用成为紧跟 会使你的英语增色不少。例如she is immediatly after me.
4. 实战
如果你面临考试
针对你的临考状态,我建议你买本考试真题回来。中国人有中国人应付考试的办法。
我建议你把历年X考的英语题目按顺序做一个纵向的比较,规律很明显,比如说我们湖北省的中考英语选择题第一题是冠词第二题是动词的过去式等等,有套路的。把你们的历年的X考题目搜集起来,纵向比较以后绝对可以找到你以后主攻的方向。
做完了纵向比较就是横向比较了。这个需要你搜集你的错题。错题本是必不可少的东西,能让你明白你的弱势强势各在何处。
如果你是准备国外考试的话.一样的道理.
雅思有雅思的听力机经
托福有托福的技巧~~~
可以上各大网站去搜索这些
再讲讲背单词的方法
你看看吧背单词我们分成以下几个方法。
1.音标拼读法
2.联想记忆法
3.词根词缀法
首先我来讲一讲什么叫做音标拼读法。
我不知道你现在对音标有多少了解了 但是没关系 我们先讲一讲基本的一些音标拼读标准
首先我来给你建立一个分类系统。
英语有26个字母。分成三类字母
1.元音字母 A/ei/ E/i:/ I/ai/ O/eu/ U/ju:/ 你先念一念这几个音 这几个音被称作为基本名称音 这个概念非常重要 你要记好了 我这里音标打不全你姑且凑合一下。
2.半元音字母 y w
所谓半元音字母就是说 既可以作为辅音字母又可以作为元音字母
比如我举个例子
y 作为元音字母 why 这个单词里面y就是原因 发ai的音。
3.辅音字母 剩下的所有的字母都被称作为单纯辅音字母。
好 下面我们开始讲如何利用音标拼读法背单词
英语和我们汉语一样 有组成习惯。
记好了 这里很关键
英语单词的第一个组成模式为
XXXXX + 一个元音字母 + 一个辅音字母(不可以为r)+ 一个e
这是单词的第一个组成模式 也是最简单最基本的组成模式。
这个元音字母的发音99.9%是他的名称音 也就是A E I O U就按照他们的字母的读音来读(需要注意的是 u这个时候的名称音有时换为/u:/而不是/ju:/)
举几个例子 很简单的
A的名称音下的单词有
name
came
flame
date
hate
plate
fake……
I 下面的名称音有
Bike
hive
polite
life
surprise
dive……
u下面的名称音有
plute /u:/
flute /u:/
mute /ju:/
de /ju:/……
o下面的名称音有
pope
pose
hope……
怎么样 在这样的模式下面 是不是所有的原因字母都是自己的名称音发音?
你看到陌生的单词 只要符合这样的模式 是不是能立刻读出来? 听到这样的读音 是不是能立刻条件反射出单词的拼写方法?还要不要死记硬背??
好 以上讲的是第一种单词的组成模式
但是这种组成模式其实是有限的。
下面我们进入更一般的结构
单词 尤其是多音节单词 一般分为重读音节和弱读音节
举个例子 surprise这个词语 prise是重读 而sur是弱读
好 下面的关键部分又出现了。一定要记好
多音节单词中 所有的弱读音节一般被弱化为/e/(应该是倒置的小写e) 或者/i/
比如说刚才的surprise 比如说aphelion里面的a 比如说behind的be之类的
而重读音节的发音规律则是我们现在要讨论的
重读音节的发音规律很简单。。。。就是字母拼读
首先讲讲纯元音字母的拼读
ee ea 一般发/i:/的音 比如 lee eat beach see peach heat defeat 等等
o这个字母 在 m n l r 之后,ther nion前发/(v倒写)的音
比如mom another love brother onion
下面是元音字母和r的拼读
常见的有are ore oure ire ure air eir 等等
这些我就不举例了(因为那个音标打出来实在是太纠结)
只要是单词中有这些部分的 他们的发音肯定是相同的
下面是元音字母和辅音字母的拼读
igh 发i的名称音 比如high fight flight tight
auhg ough发 /o/的音 比如 taught daughter flaught thought (through是特例)
ol al il el 都发他们对应的名称音的短音节
ture (靠 这个音标死都打不出来 我放弃了你回去查查字典就知道)
比如 picture constructure nature (mature是特例)
……
再讲讲辅音字母的拼读规律
很多啦
比如 c在e i 前发/s/的音 其余全部发/k/的音 比如cell circle credit
两个清辅音在一起后面的音浊化成对应得浊辅音 比如stop start star stir sprit spring等等
ch tch 发/气/那个音
等等等等 太多了 这个我都没有办法给你举完例子 主要靠你平时自己的积累归纳和总结
说完这一部分音标拼读法 主要给你的建议就是 背单词千万不要把一个一个字母念出来背 要死人的 一定是边拼边读边背 这样会读就会写 听到就可以猜个八九不离十
第二部分是我们所说的联想记忆法 这一部分我觉得要有趣许多
你可以发挥你的天马行空的想象力来背单词
比如背morose 就是=》 么 rose==》 没有玫瑰==》人家都有我没有玫瑰 所以我好郁闷啊==》morose就是郁闷
catastrophy ==》咔嗒四处飞 ==》大灾难
pest==》拍死他==》害虫
还有的时候把长的一样的单词集中起来背
比如
aunt
flaunt
gaunt
haunt
aunt是姑姑对吧 联想 姑姑是谁啊 姑姑是小龙女
flaut==》fl+aunt fl是不是让你想到fly这个词语呢 那就是姑姑在天上飞 姑姑在天上飞干什么呢 姑姑在炫耀她的轻功==》所以flaun就是炫耀的意思
gaunt==》g是什么 g是过儿 让姑姑失去了过儿是不是很痛苦 是不是很郁闷。。所以gaunt是郁闷的意思
haunt==》h想到什么 我想到了home 就是姑姑住的房子 姑姑住在哪里?姑姑住在活死人墓!!!!所以haunt是闹鬼的意思
等等 这样的联想背单词方法很多 但是切记不可以走火入魔
最后一个背单词的方法称为词根词缀法
这就像我们写中文汉字的偏旁部首
举个例子 cent 是一个词根 表示 一百
比如cent 是美分的意思 是美元的一百分之一
percent是百分之的意思
century是一百年 一世纪的意思
pad这个词根是脚的意思 pad就是脚踏板啊什么的
同样pede这个变形体也是脚的意思
那么cent + pad稍微变形==》centipede 是什么意思?
一百只脚。。。。对了!就是蜈蚣的意思!!!!
英文中的词根词缀非常多 也需要你慢慢的积累慢慢的去寻找
最后给你推荐几本背单词必备良书 我当年背单词就是这么背的
词汇书里面我比较喜欢的是剑桥《剑桥英语在用初/中/高级词汇》
还有《Tower press的英语词汇系列丛书》
总之英语在用系列都不错
剑桥出版社的哦~~

A: No. I’m a little worried about security. You never know who’s trying to find out your codes and passwords. Aren’t you worry about that?

B: Sure. It’s quite far from here. Don’t worry, though. It’s not difficult to get there.
A: I think I’m going in the wrong direction, aren’t I ?
B: Yes. First, you need to turn around. Do you remember passing some traffic lights further up this road?
A: Yes, I do. They are about two miles away, right?
B: That’s right. Drive back to the traffic lights and turn right. Follow the road for about a mile, until you see the plaza hotel. It’s a really big hotel. You can’t miss it. Turn left at the hotel.

『捌』 在英语口语中,功能英语,会话英语,主题英语和情景英语有什么区别 要分别具体的解释
他们都是抄的。
我来自答。哈哈
只供参考哈哈。
功能英语就是,比内如说,我学的是容商务英语,那么我的这个商务英语就应用在了外贸上,明白?
会话英语就是,比如说,我们的课堂上一般简短的英语就是会话英语了。没有限定性就和闲谈一个样。
主题英语就更简单了,主题就肯定是围绕主题了。比如我给你一个题目,主题就是说我的祖国。那就是围绕祖国来诠释这个问题。
情景英语的话,就是给你一个模拟的情景,让你把它表述出来。例如。我们在餐馆吃饭,我们点餐。这就是一个情景的模式。明白?

. Truth about Santa Claus.
Eddie: So how's everything going for Christmas?
Jill: I've got all the presents I need, and my family is working together to get all the food ready. That's easy; but I have another problem to deal with.
Eddie: What's that? Don't tell me you've still got Christmas cards to write; it usually takes my wife a month to write all of ours.
Jill: No, I did that a long time ago. It's about telling my son the truth about Santa Claus.
Eddie: He still doesn't know that Santa isn't real? How old is he, eight?
Jill: Yes. He's never said anything so I never told him. But now that he's getting older…
Eddie: You think it's better that he should be told?
Jill: Yes, he's too old to believe in that type of things. And I'd rather tell him before the kids at school do.
Eddie: That happened to my oldest girl. She became really upset when her classmates told her Santa wasn't real.
Jill: I can understand. I was lucky with my oldest; she figured it out by herself and didn't tell my son.
Eddie: Well, when you tell him, be gentle. It's hard for kids to findout something like that.
Helpful Information:
When American kids get into their teens, they begin to find out that Santa Claus doesn’t really exist. Some smarter kids even know that before then. They feel it’s nothing but a joke. Of course, some are devastated when they find it out. But most realize that the character “Santa Claus” is really a fictional character presented in a light-hearted way for the enjoyment of children. It doesn’t matter he’s real or not, the legend will remain.
当美国小孩子进入十几岁以后,他们开始得知圣诞老人并不是真正地存在。一些聪明一些的小孩甚至在这之前就知道了。他们觉得这只不过是个笑话。当然一些人当他们知道此事时很伤心。但是大部分人意识到圣诞老人这个人物确实是虚构的角色,一个以轻松自在的方式给孩子们带来乐趣的角色。他是真与否,都无关紧要,传说还是会流传下去。

——圣诞节准备得怎么样了?
——要的礼物我都准备好了,而且我们全家正在一起准备食物。那很容易,但我还有一个难题要处理。
——什么事?不要告诉我你还有许多圣诞卡要写;我妻子通常花一个月的时间写好我们所有的圣诞卡。
——不是,圣诞卡我早就写完了。难题是怎样告诉我儿子有关圣诞老人的实情。
——他还不知道圣诞老人不是真的?他多大,八岁?
——是的,他从未说过什么,因此我也从未告诉过他。但现在他越来越大了……
——你认为他应该知道实情比较好吗?
——是的,他太大了,不应该相信那种事情。而且我宁愿在学校的孩子们告诉他以前告诉他。
—— 以前我的大女儿也是这样。当她的同学告诉她圣诞老人不是真的时候,她变得很伤心。
——我能理解。我幸运我的大女儿没有这种麻烦,她自己猜出圣诞老人是假的,但没有告诉我儿子。
——唔,那你告诉他时,温和一点。对小孩来说,得知那样的事是很难承受的。
