我一直认为英语是一门长期技艺短期很难获得,因为教授成人英语10年来,我还时常觉得还有很多不知道的单词和表达。在我带着成人做英文启蒙英文指导的时候,我惊奇的发现,原来并不需要学海无涯苦作舟,只是因为学习英语我们绕了一个大圈子。市面上一度有非常多的7天,15天教你学会英语之类的书籍,之前我根本不屑,但自从我开始教英文后,看到那么多想要学好英语但苦于没有时间和精力的同学的诉求,我也一直想为大家找到一种,简单粗暴好上手的短期提升方案。虽然我遇到的真正英语大神们没有一个是靠所谓的投机取巧的方法获得的英语能力,因为大家的诉求不同,大神在搞研究。而我们普通人只需要会表达即可。
但我相信你用这个一周见效手册的方法,你会获得英语学习的甜头,学习是反人性的,但是有甜头有动力才能让我们更好的持续下去,就像健身一样,虽然过程辛苦,但当你看到练出的马甲线和更加有活力的自己时,这会上瘾。今天的7天手册就是帮你获得这种小马甲线的最快路径。只需要你每天拿出30分钟。你做好准备了吗?
Let's look at the breakdown of how to study English in 30 minutes a day.
我们一起来看看如何每天学习30分钟英语的分解步骤。
Day one.
第一天。
If you want to study English effectively, you must remember that your interests are very important.
如果你想有效地学习英语,你要记住你的兴趣是非常重要的。
You may be interested in sports or maybe you're interested in technology or maybe even music.
你可能对体育感兴趣,也可能对科技感兴趣,甚至对音乐也感兴趣。
But whatever your interests are, it is important to select one of them on day one.
但是无论你的兴趣是什么,重要的是要在第一天选择其中一个兴趣。
After you select a specific interest, the next thing you will do is find an English article that talks about your interest.
在你选择了一个特定的兴趣之后,接下来你要做的就是找一篇和你兴趣相关的英文文章。
It can be a newspaper article, a blog post, a magazine article or even a page from a book.
它可以是一篇报纸文章,一篇博客文章,一篇杂志文章,甚至一本书中的一页。
First, read the article all the way through.
首先,通读整篇文章。
For this first time, don't stop to look up any words, just simply read it.
读第一遍的时候,不要停下来查任何单词,仅仅阅读即可。
Second, you should read the article again and highlight any vocabulary words or expressions this time that you don't know.
第二,你应该再读一遍这篇文章, 把你不认识的单词或表达标出来。
Third, after highlighting the words and expressions, you will look up their meanings in a dictionary.
第三,标出单词和短语后,你就要在字典上查找出它们的意思。
Write them down in a notebook so that you can review them later.
把它们写在笔记本上,这样你日后就便于复习了。
And finally, you will read the article one more time.
最后,你要再读一遍这篇文章。
This time you will have a better understanding of what you read because you looked up the words and the expressions.
这次你能更好地理解你所读到的内容,因为你查找了单词和短语.
Day 2.
第二天。
On day 2 you will once again look at the article.
第二天你还要再看下这篇文章。
But this time you'll select three to five sentences from the article.
但这次你要从文章中选择三到五个句子。
These sentences will become the patterns that you will use to make new sentences.
这些句子将成为你用来造句的句型。
Your new sentences should be about something related to your life or the things around you.
你造的新句子应该与你的生活或周围的事物相关。
Remember that you are only to memorize the sentences that you personally wrote.
记住,你只需要记住你自己写的句子。
This will help you to remember the sentence patterns because you used them along with your own words.
这样能帮助你记住句型,因为你把它们和你自己的单词一起使用了。
Day 3.
第三天。
On day 3 you will focus on creative learning.
第三天,你将专注于创造性学习。
To do this you will look at the vocabulary and expressions that you looked up on day one,
要做到这一点,你需要看一下第一天学过的词汇和表达,
and find images that show the meaning of each of the terms.
并找出对应每个词语意思的图片。
This will add a visual trigger to each term and make it easier for you to remember them and use them in the future.
这可以为每个词语添加一个视觉触发器,让你更容易记住它们并在以后使用它们。
Next, you will test yourself and see how many you can remember.
接下来,你要测试自己,看看你能记住多少个词语。
Day four.
第四天。
On day four you will do your writing practice.
第四天你要做写作练习。
Your writing should be about something that happened to you on that day or during that week.
你的写作应该是关于某一天或一周以来发生在你身上的事情。
Your goal is to use three of the vocabulary words or expressions that you found in the article you read on day one.
你的目标是使用你第一天读到的文章中的三个单词或表达。
Day five.
第五天。
On day five you will focus on learning English for fun by watching an interesting and fun English television program.
第五天,你主要是为了乐趣而学习英语,通过看一个有趣搞笑的英语电视节目。
The goal of this day is to simply accept English and to learn naturally without any stress.
这一天的目标就是简单地接受英语,自然而没有任何压力地去学习英语。
You should not worry about taking notes while you are watching the television program.
你看电视节目时不用担心需要记笔记。
Instead, simply use your eyes and your ears to connect what is being said with what is
actually happening.
相反,只需用你的眼睛和耳朵把正在说的内容和正在发生的事情联系起来。
You are free to watch as long as you would like.
你想看多久就看多久。
But make sure you watch at least thirty minutes.
但你要保证至少看30分钟。
Day six.
第六天。
On day six you will focus on reviewing what you learned over the past five days.
第六天,你要集中精力复习过去五天所学的内容。
You can go over things that you had difficulties with, review the images that go with your vocabulary words and expressions.
你可以复习你觉得有难度的内容,以及回顾与你的词汇和表达相关的图片。
And you can also go over your sentences.
你也可以复习你的句子。
And finally, on day seven you can simply relax and rest.
最后,在第七天,你可以简单地放松和休息。
This day will be simply a day for your brain to take a break from study.
这一天纯粹是为了让你的大脑从学习中休息。
You are free to write or look at things online in English but try not to focus on studying
hard on this day.
这一天你可以自由地用英文写作或在网上看与英文相关的东西,但是这一天尽量不要集中精力去学习。
其实真正的学习时间只有6天,因为最后一天是用来放松自己的。那么其中有个关键词要解释一下,什么visual trigger视觉触发器,就是我们把单词和头脑中的形象联系起来,比如你看到一个狗的形象,英文第一反应就是dog,看到苹果,第一反应就是apple一样,把单词和头脑中的形象连接,是所有记忆大师都在用的秘密。他们用的更高级的联想,我们只需要触发第一层形象与单词之间的连接,比如看到curtain,第一反应就是窗帘,在头脑中搭建起窗帘与curtain的建立,甚至可以想到一只dog躲在一个印有apple画面的curtain 后面。怎么样,这次再看到curtain 有没有更熟悉了一些。
还会有同学问我去哪里找到英文素材,现在的科技这么发达,想要找到太容易了,给大家推荐一个我用着不错的软件,可可英语,里面的分类区,有特别详尽的资源,足以让初学者和中级学者找到丰富的练习素材。
有个远大的目标是好的,但是目标要学会拆解,不要上来就是拿起一本书就看,或者拿起单词软件就开刷,你要知道你的每个动作背后的意义是什么。定个科学小目标,每天留出时间行动起来。让自己尝到甜头,才会越学越起劲,你上次尝到学习的甜头是什么时候呢?
