You should study English in this way.

Preface:

I used to be a kid who could never pass IELTS with six scores in English. I even couldn't even go through level 3 in Chinese universities. Now, I can live in a whole English environment, you can talk to others in fluent English and project projects in English. let's look back and think about the path that has taken place over the years. It's a bit bitter. I feel that Chinese education is too wrong, so there is an impulse, I want to introduce some of my methods and some things I learned to you. It may be helpful to my friends who are having the same headache for English. if it is not good, you can also show your mercy. After all, many times the road is the same, but the people who walk are different, so the wonderful is also different.

If you have any questions or communication, you can follow the instructions. I will check them every day.

1. Early Stages of English Learning

In fact, many people have a misunderstanding that learning English is a fashion and everyone learns it. Why don't I learn it?

What I want to say is that the purpose is really very important. No matter what you do, you will have a purpose. It determines your mentality and methods to learn.

The basic objective of language learning is divided into two categories. The first type is just for communication, such as business operations, such as communication with foreign employees in the office, such as communication with foreigners with full interest. the second is to survive, study, work, or take over big foreign projects.

The former is very simple. What we should do is to learn phonetic symbols, back some simple words, and learn to explain things you are not familiar with or do not know, as a matter of fact, when you read junior high school, you can have a simple conversation with foreigners. as long as life does not involve academic things, you should be able to talk about it. The key lies in your mind and courage. it is easy to communicate with each other by overcoming psychological factors.

Don't worry that foreigners don't understand you. Imagine if a foreigner says, "Have breakfast, me." Do you understand? Apparently, he was saying that he had breakfast. The syntax was wrong, but you still can understand what he meant. Do you know what this is because? It's not his poor English, but because your Chinese level is too high. even half a sentence that a foreigner cannot say can be supplemented. Look, what a good Chinese character we have, and vice versa, so you don't have to worry that foreigners will not understand what you are talking about.

If it is just communication, even if you use bady language, it does not matter.

Second, if you want to study abroad, live, and work, you will find that you are facing a path full of thorns, not only in language, but also in society, humanities, history, and Culture

Languages are universal. This is especially evident in Chinese and English. to truly understand and use this language, culture is very important.

For Chinese beautiful articles, the beautiful idioms come from allusions, for example, "three-pronged", for example, "Thirty-six plan, go for the best strategy", for example, "Qin muchu", for example, "Snow on the Blue pass ".. and so on. If you are not living in China and are not familiar with Chinese culture, you cannot understand the two words at all. In Singapore, many people can speak Chinese with you. However, it is impossible for you to ask them to write beautiful articles.

The same is true for English. If you do not understand their culture, you need to learn english well. It is almost impossible to learn english well. For another example, my ID "Achilles ", it was from the ancient Greek epic of HOMA. In the story, Achilles is a hero between a person. His mother Thetis soaked him in the river, so he never got into the dark, however, because his mother held his bare feet, his heel became his only fatal weakness. in the Trojan War, Prince Paris shot an arrow at the heel of the city of Troy and was killed.

The story is Achilles 'heel. In the West, foreigners generally use this term to describe a person's fatal injury and fatal weakness.

This is the charm of language.

For another example, in the Trojan War, Achilles was tempted by the language of a prince of Troy to the city. The prince was called Hector. Although he was brave, he was facing Achilles, he was forced to stand out with him after several laps around the city wall. The word hectoring in English indicates "big bang, big talk.

The Chinese language is composed of historical records, three kingdoms, four books and five classics, and the poems and Song dynasties of the Han Dynasty. The western cultures also contain the homic poems of their words, the ancient Greece, Athens, Rome, and the Bible, if you want to learn English well, you cannot get around these things.

Therefore, if you want to learn English well, read more books. Recommended: Ancient Greek mythology, the Bible

Many domestic friends complain that they cannot remember words or think words are the most troublesome thing.

You must know that a word is only a branch of a language. If you only want to use a word in your daily life, you can use up to 3000 basic words. do you know that farmers in western United States have no more than 2000 words in their life? Do you know where the misunderstanding is? It is because we are too stuck in exam-oriented education.

In the simplest example, the word "park" has both the meaning of ad but also the meaning of parking. The "parking" in Chinese is also translated from the car park. in fact, the real foreigners will not learn those very boring words, just as now few Chinese people are willing to talk about writing essays. the same meaning can be expressed in multiple ways.

I met a small dd yesterday and asked some questions. I think, just like me, what many Chinese people in China lack most is a pragmatic spirit.

How can this be said. at the same time, I began to pursue hard sentences, complex sentences, sentence patterns, idioms, and proverbs in order to express my language skills, the Chinese can clearly express their meaning in English, so it is good to avoid ambiguity. most of the time, we often don't even want to walk, for example, that clause, almost never heard a few foreigners say that people can save as much as possible, and strive to be simple and clean, however, we are pursuing the complexity of simple things.

I used to help an elementary school girl in Singapore to take an IELTS test. I asked her the simplest question: "What is the most important thing in English? Verb, noun, adjective, conjunction, or adverbs ?"

In addition, I was surprised by her answer, which was followed by adjectives, adverbs, hyphens, and verbs.

Smile, I can only smile. But after asking my cousin again, I understand that in China, the term is basically separated from learning English.

In fact, I believe that the language is universal, both Chinese and English. The simplest expression is "person + action ".

For example, "I eat", you first learn how to express this "me" and "eat". If you can't even use these two words, so what is the purpose of "meal?

After learning to express "I eat", you will be able to express "what time, how I am, how to eat, and how to eat. "This is the role of the verb-verb conjunction. Let's look at it. In fact, there is no difference in the expression of the meanings.

There are often some friends who have just graduated from Chinese universities. when they first came abroad, they learned the best adjectives and couldn't even understand what a very simple sentence says. however, the recipes in KFC or McDonald's cannot be viewed. I can make a full score for multiple choice questions, but I cannot write a decent paper. Speaking of writing an English diary, it is not even as good as a Singaporean elementary school student.

I can only sigh that the results of exam-oriented education in China are really harmful.

A simple question

You can now look around yourself. There are a few people who don't need to use the dictionary to put all household appliances, washing machines, refrigerators, computers, fans, mice, chefs, cabinets, plates, dishes, chopsticks, perfume, curtain, window, bath basin, water cage head, bed sheet, quilt cover, socket, drawer, watermelon, mango, kitchen knife .... in English?

For those who want to learn English well and do not know where to start, this is English, which is the most used by foreigners. if you can learn these words well, you have learned basic English in half.

English is everywhere in my life. Chinese friends often complain about the language-free environment, but why not create a language environment for myself? For example, when using the subway, how many people are willing to look up at the English notice? How many people are willing to think about "being weak, ill, and pregnant ?" What does it mean to let sit? How many people are used to writing English recipes at KFC McDonald's?

Why are you going to buy expensive and impractical English learning methods? Why don't we start from the most life-like place?

When English becomes a happy thing related to your life, I believe that everyone can learn English unconsciously. When you see a table, what jumps out of your mind is not Chinese, but when it comes to table, we can say that the basics of English have been basically laid down.

Learning anything, whether in English or Japanese or French, is not a burden, but a skill, not to become Shakespeare, but to make yourself a foreign farmer.

That's right if you think so.
