The most important reason for choosing which book is your current level of English.) [1. Beginner ]: learning English-"First things first" the first step of English begins with the basic pronunciation, accent, and intonation, allowing you to gradually learn to use the basic vocabulary, syntax, and sentence structure in English. It is suitable for Chinese students from grade 4 to grade 1 and Grade 2. Learning the first book is the key to basic English skills.

After understanding the fourth book, he understands the English culture. 4. Learning Method 1. Self-learning is a learning method that you can choose from. Especially if you only use New Concept English as a general-read material, you don't need to spend more time. However, if your goal is to improve your English level through the New Concept English, you cannot take it lightly. At this time, it is very important to select a suitable teaching class, that is, to master a good learning method and have a good learning atmosphere. Any set of teaching materials can be learned by yourself, but for a language that is difficult to control, it is indeed difficult to achieve the desired results. First of all, you cannot check your own mistakes, but it is more difficult to expand your knowledge. It also tests the perseverance and understanding of the trainees. Otherwise, it is difficult to start and finish. The same is true for the new concept. No matter whether there are four or even one, self-study is difficult to achieve the ultimate goal of learning. The teacher's guidance can make "Everything is half done ". 2. Voice and learning of New Concept English. All the netizens on the Forum are looking for recordings of the new concept American edition. This may be related to most of the current audios (such as voa toefl ). however, I recommend that you use the new concept recorded by Longman for a simple reason. This recording sets different speeds based on different levels of English, from about 100 karaoke words per minute in the first book to-words per minute in the second book, to-words per minute in the fourth book, The learners gradually become familiar with the normal speaking speed, the design is reasonable, but not the average recording speed. at the same time, the recording adopts the specified ed pronunciation. that is, the standerd English used by the BBC will help you adapt to the BBC later. another question that everyone cares about is whether they will not understand the American language after listening to English. This worry is not necessary. I have not heard of any British who do not understand the American language, in my practice, this problem does not exist. Although there are differences between the two, they are not very large. at the same time, many netizens have no problem listening to VOA. Listen to BB again. C does not have any questions. the second concern is the pronunciation. to be honest, whether you are learning American or English, for most people who are not speaking English since childhood, what you send will always be Chinese English, it's just a difference in degree. at the same time, many experts also advocate learning English in the UK at the beginning of learning English, because English pronunciation is more standard, it is easy to develop a good pronunciation habits. it is not difficult to change your pronunciation from an English language to an American language. You can find several American movies and follow the lines in them several times. the third point I want to emphasize is what everyone ignores when learning the new concept. It is also a good tutorial to train everyone to improve their writing skills. Let's take a closer look at the writing exercises after each lesson, start with the simplest and simplest Sentence Writing, guide you to write more complex sentences step by step, and then write sentences and paragraphs independently without prompting, it lays a solid foundation for everyone's English writing. finally, I would like to talk about the question of recitation. The new concept article is concise in terms of language, highlights of knowledge, vivid and interesting, and is suitable for reciting and retelling materials, many people have gotten a lot of help from reciting the new concept and greatly improved it. English proficiency. (this also includes me) but the recitation method should be proper. There are usually several ways to choose from: Step 1: record the text to the point where you are familiar with it, (The mark of this step is that when you listen to the recording, you can almost remember the next sentence when you hear the previous sentence. At the same time, you can follow the recording fluently without reading the teaching material ,) this aims to correct the pronunciation and reduce the difficulty of reciting. step 2: There are two ways to do this: 1. Translate the text yourself, and then speak English according to the translation. 2. Write down the keywords in the text as a prompt to recite the text. (practice the ability to think in English, improve the Reciting efficiency, and exercise the fluency in English ). step 3: based on the previous two steps, you can repeat the exercises and speak the main content of the text in your own language. this step is not available for beginners. (Beginners should be meticulous. I wrote it in the original article) I think of some netizens who asked me why a new concept is not effective every day. in fact, think carefully about whether you recite an article every day. how much do you remember in the last 49 articles when you recite 50 articles. actually The main purpose of reciting is to familiarize yourself with the expression habits of English as much as possible. If you just want to memorize your skills and do nothing without thinking about it, it will not be very useful. At the same time, you cannot stick to it for too long. language is a qualitative leap that takes some time to learn and practice. it is not possible to catch fish in three days for two days. no matter zhongdaolong, Zheng zanrong, Or FU zhonghan. li Yang: when they started to learn a foreign language, they spent more than four hours a day, or even a dozen hours. the Foreign Ministry translated Zhu Tong and listened to the recordings for more than 2000 hours. Zhongdaolong, I heard six man workers break down. I broke down four or five dictionaries and listened to the manuscript full of cabinets to reach today's level. practice has proved that at the early stage of study, if the daily study time cannot reach three or four hours, it is almost impossible to make a qualitative leap in the English language level from six months to one year (unless you are very talented ). of course, optical teaching materials are far from enough. Make up your mind to finish learning books and devote yourself to the vast ocean of English. 5. Comments on New Concept 1: Where is New Concept English in the eyes of netizens? 1. The new concept vocabulary is compiled in the order of texts, A word can only be interpreted as the only meaning in the text. 2. The text of the new concept is well organized, with rich content, reasonable arrangement, and systematic science. Comment 2: The New Concept English (as a training institution) Expert Group on the new concept of language elaborates on the new concept of through four principles: first, it is the "systemic principle" of the new concept. The new concept of yingzhuo language spans a unique English learning gradient. This book is based on zero Foundation. After careful research by the yingzhuo language expert group on the difficulty of each book, to sum up the concept of "half-book leap" in new English, that is, each half-book New Concept English is a gradient leap that has been reaching the proficient English level-test TOFEL, and GRE is like a flat; the second is the "repetition principle" of the New Concept English learning, that is, in the overall teaching method, pay attention to the repeated training of listening, speaking, reading and writing, from quantitative change to qualitative change, the English proficiency of students is greatly improved. In terms of teaching content, high-frequency vocabulary, sentence patterns, and key grammar and structure appear repeatedly, "No matter what the upper floor is," and then, the "cultural principles" of the New Concept English, the book is the epitome of the British customs and culture-from history to religion, from work to leisure, a classic article, profound British Cultural Heritage and rich English style are on paper, profound and intriguing There is, that is, the "practical principle" of the New Concept English. No matter what aspect of the book is from listening, speaking, reading, and writing, it can become a classic teaching material, thoroughly understanding the new concept, you can use your English!
