擴大詞匯量和改善發(fā)音方式的方法

　　Improve your Vocabulary 擴大詞匯量

　　Construct vocabulary trees from short stories or articles you are reading.

　　通過閱讀短篇小說或文章構(gòu)建詞匯樹形表。

　　Build mind maps based on the stories or articles you are reading.

　　以正在閱讀的文章為基礎(chǔ)構(gòu)建思維導(dǎo)圖。

　　Photocopy a page or an article and highlight all the words you do not understand. Look up those words and add them to your vocabulary diary.

　　復(fù)印一頁或者是一個篇章并標(biāo)出所有你不認(rèn)識的單詞。查字典并把它們記錄在你的詞匯本里面。

　　When you come across a word you do not understand, first try to understand based on context.

　　當(dāng)你遇到不認(rèn)識的單詞的時候，首先聯(lián)系單詞所在的語境來推測單詞的意思。

　　Focus on prefixes and suffixes and find examples in a text you are reading. Underline and try to understand based on the prefixes or suffixes. Try to come up with the antonyms. These are words with an opposite meaning and are often related (unhappy - happy, misinformation - information, etc.)

　　注意單詞的前綴和后綴并從文本中尋找例子。把它們用線標(biāo)出來并嘗試通過前綴和后綴來推測單詞的意思。也可以通過反義詞來推測。例如，unhappy(不開心的)- happy(開心的)，misinformation(誤報)- information (信息)，等等。

　　Read a short story and try to retell or rewrite the story using as much vocabulary from the story as possible.

　　朗讀一篇短篇故事，并嘗試使用原文中的詞匯復(fù)述或重寫這個故事，詞匯越多越好。

　　Note down nouns and adjectives you do not understand. Use a thesaurus to help you find synonyms to these words. Finding synonyms will help you learn groups of words with similar meanings.

　　記錄下你不認(rèn)識的單詞和形容詞，使用 thesaurus.com 來幫助你找出單詞的近義詞，這樣能夠幫助你學(xué)習(xí)到許多具有相同意義的單詞。

　　Improve your Pronunciation 改善發(fā)音方式

　　Choose a paragraph and read aloud.

　　選擇一個段落并大聲朗讀。

　　Choose a paragraph and mark each sentence with a sound script (helpful pronunciation markup). This will help you read more naturally and thus pronounce correctly.

　　選擇一個段落并給每個句子標(biāo)上音標(biāo)(這是很有用的讀音標(biāo)記)。這樣你就能更自然準(zhǔn)確地發(fā)音了。

　　Choose a few sentences from your reading material and highlight content words. Read these sentences focusing on accenting these content words, while quickly speaking over the structure words.

　　從閱讀材料中選擇一些句子并突出實義詞的讀音。然后在朗讀這些句子的時候，注意重讀這些實義詞，而功能詞則只需快速讀過。

　　Once you become comfortable reading a single paragraph aloud, read an entire page by reading a paragraph aloud and then reading one silently.

　　當(dāng)你開始游刃有余地大聲朗讀一個段落的時候，那就大聲朗讀一整頁中的一個段落，然后再默讀一個段落。

　　Choose some nursery rhymes to practice. They will help you with pronunciation through rhythm.

　　選擇一些童謠來練習(xí)。這樣會使你在朗讀的過程中更有節(jié)奏感。

　　Read a short story or a few paragraphs to a friend who is also studying English. Compare the differences and discuss what might be the reasons for the differences.

　　跟一位正在學(xué)英語的朋友讀一篇短篇故事或者是幾個段落。比較它們之間的區(qū)別并討論造成差異的原因。

　　Choose a paragraph, short article or newspaper story with new vocabulary. Use the Babylon dictionary or other online pronunciation resource to help you learn the correct pronunciation of these words.

　　選擇一個有新詞匯的段落，短文或者是報紙新聞，使用巴比倫詞典或者其他在線讀音資源來幫助你糾正這些單詞的發(fā)音。

　　Read a play with some friends. Each friend takes a different part. Start with short scenes. Once you are comfortable, read longer pieces together.

　　和朋友一起朗讀劇本，每個人扮演著不同的角色。首先從短劇開始，然后當(dāng)你適應(yīng)了，再進行長劇的練習(xí)。
