英语口语:你能用英语阅读任意“逼”自己“说英语”吗?
有人提出“怎样提高自己说英语的流畅度?”
但是,从训练自己英语口语目的出发,我更愿意把这个问题变成如下提问:
你能用任意一篇的英语阅读“逼”自己张口就“说英语”吗?
不能,你全部的英语学习任务就是反复训练出这个语言能力。
能,你的英语口语表达不存在“怎样提高自己说英语的流畅度?”之问。
用下面这篇简易英语短文自我“测试”一下就知道答案和自己应该怎样学英语了:
1) 你按你习惯的阅读模式试读下文(如果你是习惯用英语“默读”的,你“听到”自己阅读时大脑里“清晰”的英语发音了吗?)
Lesson 3
Please send me a card 请给我寄一张明信片
Postcards always spoil my holidays. Last summer, I went to Italy. I visited museums and sat in public gardens. A friendly waiter taught me a few words of Italian. 'Then he lent me a book. I read a few lines, but I did not understand a word. Every day I thought about postcards. My holidays passed quickly, but I did not send any cards to my friends. On the last day I made a big decision. I got up early and bought thirty-seven cards. I spent the whole day in my room, but I did not write a single card !
默读完毕,你能给我“回复”,告诉我你是“怎么默读”的吗?用中文读,听到自己清晰流畅的中文发音,还是用英语读,听到自己流畅或不流畅甚至糟糕得很的英语发音吗?
2) 用阅读“逼”自己“说英语”。无“语言环境”,用阅读“自我创造语言环境”,“逼”自己“说英语”:
1. Please send me a card 请给我寄一张明信片
“逼”自己说英语:Well,when we send our friend a card, or a postcard,we can also say we mail him a card.
你能清晰的,听到自己大脑里发音的“说”这句英语吗?
2. Postcards always spoil my holidays.
Postcard:逼自己“说英语”:
Well,a postcard is different from a letter. It does not need an envelope to send or mail. And everybody can read what you have written on it.
Always:逼自己“说英语”:
Well, when we say we always do something, we mean we do something all the time.
Spoil my holiday:逼自己“说英语”:
Well, if something or someone spoils our holiday, we mean sth. or sb. ruins our holuday,or we can not enjoy our holiday because of sth.,or sb.
Holiday:逼自己“说英语”:
Well, holiday here means vacation.
But a holiday usually means a public holiday, like the weekend(Saturday and Sunday), like Spring Festival in China and Chritstmas.
But a vacation is usually a time off for yourself, or a personal time off.
能用英语阅读“逼”你自己这么“流畅”说英语吗?
3. Last summer, I went to Italy.
Last summer:逼自己“说英语”:
Well, last summer is the summer before this one/that proceeded this one/proceeding this one. It is the summer that went by.
I went to Italy:逼自己“说英语”:
Well,I went to Italy means I visited Italy. I spent my holiday in Italy.
Italy:逼自己“说英语”:
Well, Italy is a small country in southen Europe.
我知道,当我要你逼自己说英语时,很多人语法“流畅,自主”地使用Europe这个词:自己跟自己都说不好英语,如何指望能开口就跟人说英语?
4. I visited museums and sat in public gardens:逼自己“说英语”:
Well, I visited muesums means I paid a visit to museums
Museum:逼自己“说英语”:
Well, a museum is a place where a lot of exhibits are put on display(能流畅使用这个表达否?) for us to see.
5. A friendly waiter taught me a few words of Italian.逼自己“说英语”:
Well, if you are a waiter, you work in a restaurant, and serve customers at dinner. You take their orders and earn tips for good service.
Well, if people teach you a language, they tell you how you read, and how to speak.
英语基础训练是十分枯燥繁琐重复的,不要指望“三个月说一口流利英语”。
如果你能坚持几年时间,用这种“英语阅读,逼自己说英语”的方式训练自己的英语,你觉得自己多年攻克不下的英语还会成问题吗?
只是很多人不这么做罢了。
