从前几天适用的那五分钟交流的回访视频来看,不足主要表现在:
1、视频前没有做好内容的准备;
2、生怕对方听不明白,导致重复性话语太多,效率极低;
3、经常打断对方,妨碍交流;
4、表达不清楚时一直纠结一个句子,越表达越混乱。
改进:
1、提前准备好视频前的内容,包括主要话题以及一些常用话题来避免冷场;
2、减少重复,说完若对方有疑问,先问对方是否理解了,比如Got it? /Are you clear?
3、耐心听完对方正在说的话是最基本的礼貌,哪怕对方说话时你感觉对方理解错了,想爱你不要打断,听完再解释;
4、实在表达不清的问题直接pass,可以跟对方说:Forget it,let's move on to the next question.
下次课程内容准备:
Nice to meet you. I'm Jacob,J-a-c-o-b.I'm from China.
This is my second try on Cambly. We have 15 minutes. And I want to talk sth. about my English learning.
To keep it clear and fluent ,I wrote sth. down about my english learning. And I‘ll read it first, OK?
I learn English from primary school but I put more efforts on tests so I'm not doing well on listening and speaking. And I even give up learning English in college. Now I'm working ,and study English again.
This time, I put more focus on listening and speaking. I've been learning English for 4 mouths. I watch Enlish videos and podcasts to improve my listening, like Friends(Ross,Joey,Chandler,Rachel,Phebe and Monica),Silicon valley,Ted Talks,VOA ,etc. I'll keep watching or listening until I can dictate every sentence. As for speaking, I follow others and repeat and repeat until I can read it fluently.
But it's only about listening and pronounciation. Last month, when I asked a question on an English forum, I even couldn't write it down to express myself clearly, let alone talk face to face in English. So I realized that using English is completely different from learning English. Maybe I could read and understand novels writen in English,but I couldn't express myself correctly and clearly by writing or speaking.If I don't use it , my English will improve very slowly. So, now I'm gonna use English. Speak with native English speaker and write more. Cambly is really a good way for me. And it's worth paying for teachers on Cambly from all over the world. And thanks for your help.
Now it's the face-to-face talking time and I’ll try to express myself clearly .But I can't promise I could speak fluently. Ok,what do you think of my learning methods?
1、Word
I learn vocabulary by reciting vocabulary books. And I just read a research that said Reading builds our vocabulary,especially reading fiction.rather than non-fiction because fiction tends to use a greater variety of words than non-fiction does.
2、Listening
3、Pronounciation
4、Writing / Talking
常规问题:(We can talk some other topics)
1、What's your impression of China?
2、Talk sth. about your job.
a start-up company ,sell truck trailer
3、Do you enjoy talking with people on Cambly?
