It is important to talk with beginners about how to learn English. (3) It is very important to get started with the speech syntax.

The entry stage can be divided into two parts. One focuses on speech and the other focuses on syntax.

 

When it comes to syntax, some beginners often think it refers to the theory of syntax. This is a one-sided view. There are many rules in the syntax, which have obvious guiding and inductive effects. The ever-changing language, once broken, becomes something that can be traced regularly, which of course brings great convenience to learning. However, in the entry stage, syntax theory cannot be left alone or talked more. Drilling too early, too small, and too deep will not only consume unnecessary time and energy, but also have adverse consequences. Skill Training should be emphasized in the entry stage, and the word "exercise" should be highlighted. So instead of sitting at the beach and reading the swimming manual repeatedly, it is better to take an hour or two to get off the sea. Most of the statements in the syntax are hard to understand, but it takes thousands of times to practice it. We all know the difference between he and she in English, but some people are still confused for a lifetime. Some beginners of science and engineering are often used to starting from grammar rules and then assembling sentences according to corresponding rules. They often tend to overemphasize theory and ignore practice. That is to say, they place too much emphasis on knowledge and ignore skills. As a result, although beginners can clearly analyze every difficult sentence with syntax, they still cannot understand the language and do not have the practical ability to use the language. Therefore, in the entry stage, it is not recommended to break the sandpot into the end. In general, it is better to regard complex syntaxes as different sentence patterns for imitation. Otherwise, it may be like the "yellow" in Yu Yan. When his friend asked him, "How do you decide which leg to take first ?", It will crash. The result was good because I wanted to find out which leg should be taken first, and I would never walk again.

 

By the way, let's talk about my views on various exercises. In the getting-started stage, we need to emphasize training, and we need to do various exercises. This seems to be a natural task. But in fact, the exercises can be designed to be amazing. Different exercises can certainly achieve different goals. However, it is necessary to highlight the key points. In the entry stage, I advocate less exercises for understanding concepts, but more exercises for practical use, skill proficiency, and ideological expression. I have reserved multiple choice questions for all kinds of non-questions. This kind of practice can easily lead to a simple thinking mode. It is also easy to cause a tip. More importantly, it aims to clarify concepts, rather than practical drills involving language skills. At present, students at all levels in China are suffering from sea issues and tactics. Some schools and students have to take questions as their primary learning methods and take various tests as the core of teaching work. This is an extremely harmful practice. Most of the exercises are just to test students' learning conditions, just as using a thermometer to measure their temperature. You cannot mistakenly believe that you can master a language by doing exercises. Just as the thermometer cannot reduce the fever of a patient. Now I have taken the TOEFL test nationwide, and the result affects normal English learning. It makes people think that the TOEFL test is good, so they can learn English. This is another serious misunderstanding. In society, there are also various training classes that teach students how to take high scores and how to draw circles quickly and accurately. I am telling a joke. If such a test gets a full score, the student may have something wrong with his English. Just like a student I heard of in 1970s, he bought a second-hand bicycle for 9 yuan. It is said that after the car will ride, the normal car will not ride. I am worried that this test will become a used car that I bought for 9 yuan. Exercises and exams are naturally useful. However, a person with good English proficiency can deal with exercises and exams, which is not equal to the English proficiency of those who will deal with exercises and exams. Language educators believe that there is only one reliable standard for English proficiency: It is to see how much thought a person can use it to express, how deep it is, and how accurate, vivid, and fluent it is.

 

In the entry stage, we need to highlight the word "exercise", that is, to use your eyes frequently, ears frequently, mouth frequently, hands frequently, and brains frequently. In my opinion, the most important thing here is to attack the terms of Listening and Speaking as soon as possible. You must speak with your mouth as soon as possible. When can we achieve "Freedom of Speech", the door to learning English will be open.

 

To solve the problem of getting started with listening and speaking, we must first practice speech. Secondly, we should combine the basic syntax, form changes of basic words, and practice the basiC sentence pattern repeatedly.

 

At the beginning of the school, the practice is of course a simple set of rhetoric, but the high-rise building will start from then on, and it cannot be very easy. Ordinary Adult Beginners often do not want to talk about it, because it is too simple and naive. I can't say what I want to say, because I am afraid of making mistakes and making jokes. The result is that you can understand it as soon as you learn it. If you forget it, you will be wrong. The rich thinking of adults has become a psychological obstacle. The learning effect is not as good as that of some children who have no scrubs. I remember that when I first graduated from my twenties, I taught a group of excellent middle-aged scientists preparing to go abroad. One of them is now Professor Yang fujia, president of Fudan University. At that time, I convinced them to join me in learning English, telling little stories like "Little Tom", and practice some of the simplest things together every day. However, the results of one and a half years of intensive training show that such basic training is effective even for middle-aged scholars of these cutting-edge science. The so-called listening and speaking capabilities cannot be imitated in the entry stage. Therefore, reading, reciting, and retelling are necessary. I still believe in the old saying that I have been familiar with three hundred Tang poems. If things are too many, they will be digested and become their own things sooner or later.
