英语学习心得
英语很重要 是人都知道
所以现在的我 虽老大不小了 但还是重新开始学英语…
大学玩过新概念 以现在的角度看 它的发音似乎是英式的 而我比较喜欢听美音 毕竟老美现在牛
更重要的是 新概念的文章与实际相比较脱节很严重 学起来很枯燥乏味 所以比较难集中精力
现在的我：
早上起来 读上20分钟 有时候会起的晚 也要读个几分钟 或一篇文章
是大声的读 不会发音的就跟着读 我有买空中英语的MP3碟 网上应该也有的下
我上下班都是走路 中午吃饭等很多空闲时间都被我拿来听空中英语
这个不错 语速和发音都比较适合我 又是谈话式的教学 听起来比较舒服
可惜偶上次得来的MP3不知道给弄哪去了… 现在只能拿手机来听…
不过 NOKIA6300+原配的耳机 音质比我的MP3倒是好多了 不过音量有点稍小
平时出差在车上 或等待的时间也是可以用来听的
所以不要让自己的时间白白浪费 利用一切可利用的时间
有机会每天上英文网站看看 就当看新闻 这绝对有好处 对提高英语阅读和写做帮助很大
不但可以提高词汇量 而且能跟老美学到很多地道的英语 象：短语、句子和不错的表达方式
也就是当你自己碰到的时候 你能拿来就用 现学现用 其乐无穷
此外 也有助于了解国外发生了什么事 和老外看问题的观点和视角 主要是文化和思维
当然你也可以看完后尝试用英语发表评论 来表达你的观点 相信会是不错的锻炼
我现在每天都看这2个站：
http://www.businessweek.com：对于现在的我来说 很多句子比较难理解 而且文章超长 开始看的话绝对头晕 不过我还是每篇都坚持看完 并将不认识的单词和短语纪录下
http://www.about.com：这里的文章相对来说 容易看懂 而且也不是那么长 所以看起来会比较心情舒畅 但是里面有些恶心广告的东西…
一般来说看这些英文站 能很顺利的话 证明你的英语 至少阅读是已经完全达到老外级了
一般来说 一篇文章完整的看下来 能理解个七八成应该不错了 而纪录的生词估计有一长串 你会发现文章中会有很多同义词 以及很多地方会 用不同的表达方式表达同一个意思
此外要经常回忆纪录下的生词、好的短语和表达式 这样比较能巩固 这点我还没做到…
不过只要坚持看英文文章 常用的词、短语和表达式也是会经常出现 其实也等于复习了：）
英语不难 坚持听、读、阅读 习惯用英文的思维去思考 会发现学英文原来是很有趣的游戏
告诉自己 加油 坚持 让英语成为第2母语
那样地球上使用最多和使用最广的2种语言你都会了 那你就无敌了
