) How should young people learn English by themselves?

How do social youth learn English by themselves? The Chinese nation is on the rise, and more Chinese people are heading abroad to the rest of the world. The need for high-level English talents in the motherland is becoming increasingly urgent. It is far from enough to cultivate English talents by a foreign language university alone.
Young people who wish to serve their motherland are determined to learn English. By studying hard and cultivating themselves as a high-level English talent, they are the best choice to stand in today's world and make a difference.
Social Youth learn English by themselves. They must set their goals to a higher level, learn more persistently, and achieve a higher level than those of English majors. Because college graduates have a diploma advantage, and young people and scholars in the community have to compete with them, they have to come up with a higher level of practice than them to have more success opportunities.
In general, the learning conditions of social youth are not as good as those of college students, such as teachers. Students have professors, especially foreign teachers, a large number of references to foreign languages, multimedia teaching environments, and English Speaking conditions among students. In terms of time, social youth may have to study while working, without the conditions for full-time students to study. Therefore, to achieve a higher level of social youth than college students, it is necessary to invest more effort than college students. In addition, we must make full use of all our advantages. For example, we can have our own special audiovisual equipment and learn more for several years. These are not available to college students.
Young people learn English by themselves, and they need to develop a self-study plan. How to use time is the most important question. How can I take advantage of my spare time when I have a job? For unemployed young people, the conditions are more favorable. You can develop your own full-time study schedules.
I advocate that we should first review the English courses we have learned in the middle school. If you are not in high school, it is best to connect the politics, history, and geography of high school, especially the Chinese language. It is certainly difficult to learn English at a university without the knowledge of high school students, not to mention exceeding the level of college graduates (because they choose from high school to go to college, intelligence advantage ). Therefore, the learning plan for social youth self-study should not be too short. In my opinion, it usually takes four years to reach a high level, with a high school base and full-day self-study, it will take two years to complete the courses of high school students. It will take a little longer to use the spare time to study.
Therefore, it is better for unemployed young people who wish to take the road of English self-study to develop a four to five-year learning plan.
In the middle school (including high school), the grammar knowledge has been basically mastered, and you do not have to study it again in the self-study stage. If you encounter a syntax problem during your self-study, you can refer to the syntax tool book, such as "thin ice English syntax". The syntax will be more consolidated when multiple queries are reviewed.
The process of self-study is mainly to learn comprehensive English knowledge. My opinion is that it is dominated by books of different types of books and supplemented by professional college English textbooks. English books of the book type should be supplemented with audiovisual products as much as possible. With a variety of tool books, prepare a set of audio and video electrical equipment to start learning.
Preparations before systematically learning English must focus on learning the International Phonetic Alphabet before the system learns English. To learn the International Phonetic Alphabet, you must use the repeater to follow up, compare, correct your pronunciation, and learn to spell it out skillfully, in the future, the system will encounter a large number of words in the Process of self-study to query the dictionary. You can understand and read new words accurately ). Furthermore, in order to overcome the weakness of the lack of direct conversation listening and speaking environment, the system learning must focus on self-learning. At the same time, in view of the lack of basic oral English in middle school, you must concentrate on training your oral English before the system is self-taught, my suggestion is to read 900 sentences in English or 900 sentences in new English. After reading more than 30 times in each lesson, I will copy them twice to lay the foundation for system training and listening in the future.
The other is for the characteristics of self-scholars who need to do a lot of homework and copy texts. English writing training must be carried out before the system study to improve the speed of English writing. Because only by maximizing the speed of English writing can we win more time to do a lot of English homework. This is a magic weapon to compete for time with full-time college students. The way to practice is to change the English Writing Method dominated by italics in the middle school era. In the middle school era, Chinese characters are written in italics, which is equivalent to Chinese characters written in simplified Chinese. The end is positive, but the speed is slow! The English circle is equivalent to writing Chinese characters in the middle school when taking class notes, which is much faster. From the garden to the grass, it is equivalent to the speed at which the reporter listens to and remembers (not stenographer of course) during the interview or the signature of a foreigner. Therefore, before learning the system, first master the Writing Method of the English ry, and then gradually transition to the grass body in the process of system learning. You can use the following methods to practice the English ry: buy ten or eight English ry copybooks and train them in a centralized manner.
In short, before the system learns English by itself, we should first learn the monthly International Phonetic Alphabet, nine hundred English sentences, and the English yuexiao thoroughly. The first phase of the system's self-taught English is to consolidate the four skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing.
Before Strengthening the four skills separately, you should also learn these four skills at the initial stage, which takes about one year. The method is to use book 2 and book 3 of New Concept English to learn.
(1) grasp the meaning of each short article. Listen to the tape five times.
(2) be familiar with the short articles in each lesson and use 20 times (remember the number of times with symbols for quantitative management ).
(3) finish the attached homework. (In the answer part, it is best to find a tutor or a self-taught companion to answer questions and practice the said skills. It is important to think in English ).
New Concept English 2 and 3 (the first book is too small, and the fourth book is similar to the intensive reading of College English) not only train, listen, read, and write, but also systematically consolidate all the syntaxes learned in middle school.
In the first stage, while learning New Concept English, I used the main force to learn the abbreviation of the original British and American Literature (with tapes ). Such as Robinson drifting, Jane love, gold and silver Island, and 20 thousand miles under the bottom of the sea. As long as you think it is interesting. About four to five books, laying the foundation for future direct learning of the original book. You can learn the shorthand for this article by reading the story, understanding the story, and understanding the new words. When you encounter a syntax problem, read the syntax tool book. When you encounter a new word, check the English-Chinese dictionary or idiom dictionary. (Various dictionaries must be prepared: english-Chinese dictionary, Oxford Advanced English-Chinese dictionary, English-English dictionary, Chinese-English dictionary, English-Chinese dictionary, and English-Chinese dictionary. The dictionary should mark the alphabetic order on the book's Incision to increase the lookup speed. The English-Chinese dictionary is used to facilitate lookup. However, it should have over 10 million entries. Use colored pens and symbols to identify the books on which words have been searched. This method allows you to quickly think about repeated words and focus on the words that appear frequently and are hard to remember. In this way, you can use repeated memories to avoid memorizing words, effectively and quickly increase the number of words .)
After reading the shorthand, you can read it again and read it again until you are familiar with it.
At the same time, the introduction to British and American Literature (English version) is used as a general reading material to lay the foundation for the future systematic study of the original British and American literature.
The skills in listening, speaking, reading, and writing have been greatly improved through the study of New Concept English, Book 2, book 3, Book 4 to Book 5, Book 4, and short for English and American literature, there are special English programs that may understand the Voice of America. They can talk to foreigners in everyday English and write some simple English letters. On this basis, you can enter the second stage of learning. The second stage of the system's learning of English begins to learn Original English. I have heard that VCD is mainly used for traveling to the United States (the original version should be noted ). You can preview the text of the unit where you want to put the VCD, and then listen to, read, and read it repeatedly. Here, "follow-up" is not to read aloud, but to think in English, follow the plot in VCD and imitate the various roles in the conversation (including tone and tone ), until you can imitate it very skillfully. This learning is very important for self-scholars because they lack an English conversation language environment and use VCD for drills.
In terms of reading, you can choose to read several original English-American novels (English version), preferably the original one corresponding to the abbreviated one you have learned. (Because I have learned the simplified text, I have a basic understanding of the plot. It is easier to read it ).
Why should I read the original English and American literature? Because literature widely reflects life, it plays a great role in accessing authentic English and expanding the vocabulary. For example, Piao can access the political, economic, cultural, military, historical, and language used by the American people in all aspects of production and life. Of course. Do not concentrate on ancient famous books, such as Shakespeare. Because ancient famous books have too many ancient languages, they should be dominated by modern famous books, such as the aforementioned "floating", and the books of Hemingway, Mark tween, Lawrence, and others. Before reading an English masterpiece, you 'd better read a Chinese translation first. In the course of reading, you should immerse yourself in the story, and take notes in English when encountering people and things that touch you, as well as sentences and paragraphs with profound meanings and beautiful texts, some application English comments. In this way, learning the original British and American documents will benefit a lot and play a great role in cultivating your English thinking.
At this stage, we mainly listen to, speak, and read original English. As these three skills are gradually improving, writing cannot lag behind. In addition to copying and commenting on the story of the novel, we should also use communication with English major college students and social English learners to practice English Writing in large quantities. Write English letters. Do not stick to the things you need to talk about. You should think about what you want to write. The purpose is not to talk about things, but to practice writing in English. When writing English letters, try to use the new words you just learned to consolidate your memory for them.
In this phase, in order to systematically consolidate the knowledge of English in various aspects, it should also be supplemented by the intensive reading and extensive reading of College English for English majors, english country overview, Chinese Geography, world geography, and other English teaching materials, in which "College English" should be learned according to the requirements of its syllabus, and the homework should be completed, (when I do my homework, I start to transfer the circular characters into the grass-shaped characters to further improve the writing speed ).
In short, the second phase of system learning is to learn the VCD oral language learning materials (such as "traveling to the United States") for the original English and modern literature, improve the reading level, increase the vocabulary, and improve the level of English Writing through a brief evaluation of the characters and plots of novels, excerpt of beautiful sentences, and a large amount of English communication; in addition, I learned college English teaching materials, completed my college English homework, consolidated my studies, and further improved my English writing speed. I learned Chinese and world history, Earth and other knowledge, while learning English, you can learn more about China and the world. The third stage of the system's English learning should be carried out for the purpose of practical use of English.
I have heard that, find some movie VCD that has won the Oscar Gold Award (which can get the corresponding English version of the script book better), play it repeatedly, understand it, imitate it repeatedly, and practice it. If you have already learned the English original "floating", you 'd better buy a VCD or a DVD "beautiful man". The same is true for "jian ai" and "titanker. Of course, it is better to show English movies with a wider life.
At the same time, we want to listen to the English broadcast programs of the BBC, the Voice of America, and China's Central People's Broadcasting Station, as well as 9th CCTV (English station ).
In terms of reading, I subscribed to the China Daily (English) and read a large number of articles every day. I wrote a lot of comments in English. Article Sent to various English publications, not asking whether to post or not, but asking for more skills.
At this stage, learning the translation skills is more important. The translation skills must be combined with the condition of a knowledgeable team. To translate well, you must broaden your knowledge in various fields. Human abilities are limited, and it is impossible to have a deep understanding of any field of knowledge, but the basic knowledge must be understood. Modern Chinese knowledge is the most important one outside of English, it should be systematically synchronized with English-Chinese translation knowledge.
To learn English-to-English translation books, you can choose textbooks for English-to-English translation and Modern Chinese for systematic learning. Through learning, you must master basic translation theories and skills in translation, including English-to-English, Chinese-to-English, interpretation, translation, one-on-one translation and simultaneous interpretation. In this learning phase, it is best to find the British and American people to practice. If not, you can also practice English-Chinese Translation in a similar way as a TV program.
After mastering the comprehensive English listening, speaking, reading, writing, and translating skills, you have already laid the foundation for learning practical English. Based on your interests and aspirations, select business English, Tourism English, sports English, News English, art English, Science and Technology English and so on for deep learning. Then, you will enter the updated stage of Practical English learning to learn English well, return to the beautiful ideals of the motherland.

They are for your reference only. You are welcome to criticize and correct them.
