我想你所提的"时断时续"(说英语)可能是指突然迸 发式的说话方式。首先,你必须明白,大多数口头表达是与 他人交往的产物。我们很少发表长篇大论,这就是说我们必须培养我们自己理解别人讲话的能力,然后根据我们所听到 的内容作出回答。会话的性质不同,要求的技巧也自然不同。例如:·交流信息。这是我们每天最常见的交流形式。你的朋友 告诉你他/她在业余时间所喜欢做的事。你仔细听,然后 告诉他/她你在业余时间所想做的事。你就如此这般回 答。在这种交流中,你一般会大量使用一般现在时。·叙述。你的朋友用过去时告诉你一段经历(他/她如何误车,然后上班迟到,老板说些什么,等等)。你仔细听,然后讲述你自己的经历。在这种交流中,你一般会使用一般过去时或过去进行时。按时间顺序讲述一个故事较为容 易:某事开始于……,然后叙述正文,最后结束讲述。·交流看法和观点。你的朋友告诉你他/她对某事的看法, 他/她先描述一段场景,然后发表他/她的意见,并给出 理由。你仔细听,然后以同样的方式作出回答。你有可 能陈述事实(你从报纸上读到的东西),给出一个或几个例子,然后说明你的看法。你很可能用些诸如 In my opinion…, I think…, I agree with what you say, but…和 I"m afraid I disngree.I think…等短语。
(1) We study spoken English so as to make oral communications, so this order of importance of oral English study should be followed: Fluency, Accuracy, and Appropriateness. That is to say, we have to pay more attention to practical communicating ability instead of only laying emphasis on the grammatical correctness.
(2) Try to find some partners practicing oral English together and English corner is a good place as where we may exchange English study experience, widen our sight and improve interest in English. By the way, Guangzhou New Oriental School holds an English Corner on every Wednesday evening from 7:00 to 9:00 at Haizhu No. 8 classroom. One of the teachers in our department will be the MC at the English Corner. Welcome every friend who is crazy about learning English!
(3) If it’s not easy to get English partners or having little chance to attend an English corner, then we have to create an English environment ourselves by speaking English to ourselves. For example, you can talk to yourself about what you have seen or what you have done.
(4) This method is very effective and easy to insist on--interpreting Chinese-English novels or books. First of all, we read the Chinese parts and try to interpret them into English sentence by sentence, and then compare our interpretation with the original versions in the novels or books after finishing one small paragraph’s interpretation, so that we can find out the mistakes, shortcomings and progresses in our interpretation.
(5) Interpreting what you hear and Changing Roles: Three people make a group, imagine a real interpreting scene: one speaks Chinese, one speaks English acting as the foreigner, and one acts as interpreter. Then change roles after a while. This is a good interpreting training method and is good for studying from one another. In addition, it may improve the responding ability and speed of students. The advanced stage of this method is simultaneous interpretation. We can try to interpret what we hear into English or Chinese when we listen to the radio, watch TV, or have a meeting.
(6) Oral composition and 3-minute training method: This method is suitable for intense training. Making an oral composition about a certain topic for one minute the first time and record the composition on tape at the same time. Then listen to the composition and find out the room for improvement. Then make the same composition for two minutes for the second time and also record it and listen to it. And at last repeat the above-mentioned for three minutes. It’s an efficient advanced training method.
(7).Retelling exercise: Retell some articles or English stories in our own words. It’s the simplest and most efficient method of practicing spoken English.
(7)复述练习:用自己的话复述一些文章或英语文故事。这是最简单也是最有效的口语学习方法。
(8) If possible, we may read some English tongue twisters loudly and quickly with one or two cakes of candy in our mouth (just as the Chinese cross-talk actors do.) to train our oral cavity muscle and tongues suitable for English pronunciation.
