快速高效学习英语的七个秘诀

help you improve your Eng***sh 迅速有效进修英语的7个法门
Secret #1: LEARN ABOUT WORD STRESS
W***d Stress is ***lden key number o*** f*** speak***g and
understand***g Eng***sh. W***d Stress is *very imp***tant*.
You can try *** learn about W***d Stress. This is o*** of
the *best* ways f*** you *** understand spoken Eng***sh -
especially Eng***sh spoken fast.
What is W***d Stress?
Take 3 w***ds: pho***graph, pho***grapher and pho***graph***,
f*** example. Do they sound the sa*** when spoken? No!
They sound different, bec***se *o**** syllable *** each
w***d is "stress***" (stronger than the others).
PHO***graph
phoTOgrapher
pho***GRAPH***
This happens *** ALL w***ds with 2 *** m***e syllables:
TEACHer, JaPAN, CHINa, aBOVE, ***nverSAtion, INterest***g,
imPORtant, deMAND, etCETera, etCETera, etCETera
The syllables that are not stress*** are 'weak' ***
'small' *** 'quiet'. Native speakers of Eng***sh ***sten
f*** the stress*** syllables, not the weak syllables. If
you use W***d Stress *** your speech, you will ***stantly
and ******mat***ally improve your pronunciation and
your ***mprehension.
If you h**e an Eng***sh teacher, ask her *** help you
understand W***d Stress. Try *** hear the stress *** w***ds
each ti*** you ***sten *** Eng***sh - on the radio, *** ***
films f*** example. Your first step is *** *hear* and
re***gnise it. After that, you can *use* it!
Secret #2: SENTENCE STRESS
Sentence Stress is ***lden key number two f*** speak***g
and understand***g Eng***sh. With Sentence Stress, so***
*w***ds* *** a sentence are "stress***" (loud) and other
w***ds are weak (quiet). Look at the follow***g sentence:
We want *** ***.
Do we say every w***d with the sa*** stress *** f***ce? No!
We make the imp***tant w***ds *big* and the unimp***tant
w***ds small. What are the imp***tant w***ds *** this
sentence? Yes, you're right: WANT and GO.
We WANT *** GO.
We WANT *** GO *** WORK.
We DON'T WANT *** GO *** WORK.
We DON'T WANT *** GO *** WORK at NIGHT.
It's impossible *** expla*** everyth***g about Sentence
Stress *** this email. The imp***tant th***g f*** you is
that you know it exists and try *** learn about it.
Sentence Stress is *very imp***tant*!
Secret #3: LISTEN! LISTEN! LISTEN!
Students so***ti***s say: 'I don't ***sten *** the BBC ***ws
on the radio bec***se it's ***o fast f*** *** and I can't
understand it.' That's a pity! When it's ***o fast f***
you, when you can't understand it, that is exactly when
you NEED *** ***sten *** it!!!
How can you improve if you don't ***sten and practise?
When you were a baby, did you understand your own
language? When you were 3 weeks old, *** 2 months, *** 1
year, did you understand everyth***g? Of ***urse not! But
you *lear***d* *** understand by ****sten***g*. Th***k about
it. You lear***d *** understand your own language by
***sten***g, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. After that,
you lear***d *** speak. Then you lear***d *** read. And then
you lear***d *** write. *But ***sten***g ca*** first!*
Secret #4: DON'T LISTEN!
In Secret #3 I said LISTEN! LISTEN! LISTEN! Now I say
DON'T LISTEN! What do I ***an?
Do you know the difference between the verbs TO LISTEN
and TO HEAR? TO LISTEN is active. TO HEAR is passive.
So***ti***s you can LISTEN ***o hard.
So***ti***s you can TRY ***o hard.
So***ti***s it is better o***y *** HEAR.
Let the radio play. Let the cassette play. But DON'T ***sten.
Just HEAR. Your sub***nscious will ***sten f*** you. And
you will still learn. If you ***sten and try ***
understand, you may block on o*** w***d and get
frustrat***. Don't w***ry! Just HEAR! Be***eve ***, you will
still be learn***g. The imp***tant th***g is *** let the
radio *** cassette *** tele***sion *** re***rd PLAY. Let it
play. And you - you do noth***g. Your bra*** will HEAR,
your sub***nscious will LISTEN and you will LEARN!
Secret #5: IMPROVE YOUR VOCABULARY WITH 5 WORDS A DAY
Vocabulary is easy! How many days *** a year are there?
365, n***mally (on Earth).
If you learn o***y 5 ***w w***ds a day, you will learn 5 x
365 = 1,825 ***w w***ds *** a year. ONE THOAmericaND, EIGHT
HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FIVE WORDS. That is a lot of ***w
w***ds. And we are not ***unt***g all the other w***ds you
will learn *** other ways - read***g, ***nversation etc.
Buy a notebook and write *** 5 ***w w***ds EACH day, EVERY
day. Learn them! You will soon h**e an excellent
vocabulary.
Secret #6: 30 MINUTES A DAY BETTER THAN 3.5 HOURS A WEEK
In fact, 30 m***utes of Eng***sh study once a day is
better than 5 *hours* once a week! Study regularly.
Study often.
LITTLE + OFTEN is better than LOT + SOMETIMES.
It's easier, ***o. You can easily f***d 30 m***utes each
day. How? You can get up 30 m***utes ear***er. Or h**e a
***rter lunch break. Fix a part***ular ti*** every day -
and keep it!
Secret #7: REVISE! REVISE! REVISE!
If you re***se, you'll improve your learn***g by 100%.
What does "*** re***se" ***an? It ***ans "*** look aga***".
You ***uld be systemat*** about this. When you learn
so***th***g, you ***uld note it. Then you ***uld *look at
it aga****, 3 ti***s:
- after 1 day
- after 1 week
- after 1 month
Each ti*** you re***se, test yourself.
Learn, re***se, test.
Re***se, test.
Re***se, test.
