學(xué)好英語從聽力入手
不管我們學(xué)英語的目的是什么,我們都不能忽略了學(xué)習(xí)語言本身的規(guī)律。我們從語言學(xué)習(xí)本身出發(fā)以及多年來的經(jīng)驗(yàn),為大家總結(jié)一些確實(shí)可行的方法。接下來,小編給大家準(zhǔn)備了學(xué)好英語從聽力入手,歡迎大家參考與借鑒。
學(xué)好英語從聽力入手
長期以來,我們發(fā)現(xiàn)大部分人學(xué)英語主要有以下幾個誤區(qū):
第一,學(xué)英語,就是背單詞。很多人太注重詞匯量,于是花了很多時間背單詞,結(jié)果收效甚微。當(dāng)然詞匯很重要,但是要注重學(xué)習(xí)方法,不要單獨(dú)地去學(xué)習(xí)單詞,把單詞孤立出來,應(yīng)該把聽說讀寫結(jié)合起來,這樣才能真正地掌握一門語言。
第二,短期內(nèi)學(xué)好英語。學(xué)習(xí)英語是一個長期的過程,我們應(yīng)該進(jìn)行一些列系統(tǒng)化的學(xué)習(xí)才能真正學(xué)好一門語言。很多人都是三天打魚兩天曬網(wǎng),如果你真想學(xué)好,一定要下定決心,有計劃地進(jìn)行系統(tǒng)化的練習(xí)。
聽力是學(xué)習(xí)任何一門語言的開始
那么如何通過聽力來學(xué)習(xí)英語,通過聽力我們能學(xué)到什么?
首先,通過聽力學(xué)習(xí)英語發(fā)音
我們通過收聽VOA、BBC、CRI等主要的聽力材料,可以學(xué)習(xí)到純正的發(fā)音,在聽力的同時,我們可以模仿這些純正的發(fā)音,掌握一些發(fā)音技巧。學(xué)好語音是說好英語的第一步,這一步通過聽力可以得到很好的訓(xùn)練。
其次,通過聽力我們可以掌握語音語調(diào)
我們很多人聽力很差就是因?yàn)楦簧瞎?jié)奏,老是覺得對方說的太快,這當(dāng)然也可以理解因?yàn)椴皇俏覀兊哪刚Z,這也是我們提倡多聽的原因。多聽不同的語音可以讓我們適合更快的節(jié)奏。在聽力練習(xí)中,我們可以熟悉每個單詞的語音,句子之間的連讀,升降調(diào)。
最后,通過聽力我們可以掌握一些地道的口語表達(dá),提高整體的理解能力等。
通過以上的分析,我們總結(jié)出:在聽力的練習(xí)中,我們應(yīng)當(dāng)注重學(xué)習(xí)發(fā)音-語音-語調(diào)-地道俚語,從而提高語言的理解能力!
如果你還不知道從哪里開始學(xué)習(xí)英語,那么從聽力入手吧。
擴(kuò)展:英語語法反義疑問句
As you study English, you will become familiar with question tags. A tag is a little something that is added on, just like the tag on your shirt that tells you the size and type of material. We use question tags all the time in English to add a brief question to the end of a sentence. Some examples are:
It isn't raining, is it?
He works in real estate, doesn't he?
You're okay, aren't you?
You might have noticed already, that there is a pattern that is followed when using question tags. Usually, when the sentence is positive, the tag is negative. And vice1 versa. Also, the same auxiliary2 verb should be used, though there are some exceptions to this rule. Look at the following that use the verb to be:
This dress is too tight for me, isn't it?
The film is going to start, isn't it?
They're late, aren't they?
We're on time, aren't we?
She's our tour guide, isn't she?
You can see the pattern quite easily here. In the tag, the subject comes at the very end. Before that, you simply put the verb 'to do' or 'to be' in its correct form, and contract it into a negative. So, 'we are' becomes 'aren't we', 'she is' becomes 'isn't she', 'they did' becomes 'didn't they', and 'he does' becomes 'doesn't he' etc. There are a few exceptions to the rule that I will cover at the end of the passage.
Let's try the opposite way around, negative to positive.
It isn't raining, is it?
We're not in a hurry, are we?
I'm not in the wrong building, am I?
He doesn't have any spare change, does he?
They don't sell hot coffee here, do they?
Can you see the pattern? Once you get used to it, it's as easy as riding a bicycle, isn't it? Let's go over some of the exceptions. When we are using the verb to be with the 'I' form, we end up using 'are' or 'aren't' as the tag, instead of 'am'. Let's listen to some examples:
I'm picking you up at 3 pm, aren't I?
I'm ordering the cake tomorrow, aren't I? Note, this second sentence is more like a confirmation3, rather than a question.
Now let's look at the 'you' form with the verb 'to have to'.
You have to study for your exam, don't you?
We have to cook the fish while it is fresh, don't we?
She had to wash the car, didn't she? We use, as you can see, the verb 'to do' in the tag, after we use 'to have to' in the main part of the sentence. Likewise, with a negative statement using 'to have to', we would use 'to do' in the positive.
You don't have to drive tonight, do you?
They didn't have to pay again, did they?
He didn't have to go to the office for more paper, did he?
So, there you have it. Like most things, it's a question of practice. But, you are all very clever, aren't you? You didn't have much of a problem with regular questions, did you? And, I know that you will practice and learn tags very well, won't you?
