怎样学好英语
想学好英语,首先要培养对英语的兴趣。“兴趣是最好的老师”,兴趣是学习英语的巨大动力,有了兴趣,学习就会事半功倍。我们都有这样的经验:喜欢的事,就容易坚持下去;不喜欢的事,是很难坚持下去的。而兴趣不是与生俱来的,需要培养。有的同学说:“我一看到英语就头疼,怎么能培养对英语的兴趣呢?”还有的同学说:“英语单词我今天记了明天忘,我太笨了,唉,我算没治了。”这都是缺乏信心的表现。初学英语时,没有掌握正确的学习方法,没有树立必胜的信心,缺乏了克服困难的勇气,丧失了上进的动力,稍遇失败,就会向挫折缴枪,向困难低头。你就会感到英语是一门枯燥无味的学科,学了一段时间之后,学习积极性也逐渐降低,自然也就不会取得好成绩。但是,只要在老师的帮助下,认识到学英语的必要性,用正确的态度对待英语学习,用科学的方法指导学习。开始时多参加一些英语方面的活动,比如 ,唱英文歌、做英语游戏、读英语幽默短文、练习口头对话等。时间长了,懂得多了,就有了兴趣,当然,学习起来就有了动力和欲望。然后,就要像农民一样勤勤恳恳,不辞辛苦,付出辛勤的劳动和汗水,一定会取得成功,收获丰硕的成果。毕竟是一分耕耘、一分收获,No pain, no gain.
如何用英语歌增进英语
-单词量:查每一个不懂的单词, 在句子里的用法, Boyzone – Love me for a reason, “let the reason be love” 找到reason的用法
-连读:一边看歌词,一边练习连音 EX:It’s only words and words are all I have to take your heart away
-歌手的背景和访谈 EX:练习听力
-对一个文化感到有兴趣 EX:爱尔兰-Be careful what you wish for, it might come true.
资源分享:
1. 听播客是最好的学习方式,每天上下班的时间,半年下来就会发现有明显的进步
初级的同学建议听:赖世雄老师的音标和入门/初级英语
中级的同学建议听:ESL POD 或 English POD
高级的同学则可以广泛收听自己最有兴趣的题材:苹果手机下载Podcast,有上千个英语播客聊各种不同的兴趣,我最近喜欢的话题则是有关网路营销,我正在听Amy Porterfield的On-line Marketing Made Easy, 非常喜欢他的声音,在她的网站上有他每一集节目的逐字稿,有时候我会把它下载下来,一边听节目一边录下自己模仿他的发音练习。

范例,去年我作的一场公益演讲:How to Make Foreign Friends (如何交外国朋友)
Hi everyone, my name is Lily Wong but you can just call me Lily. I’m the founder and director of Shanghai Greeters. I’m in charge of the recruitment of volunteers and training. The topic for my presentation today is how to make friends with foreigners. The reason why I’m doing this topic is I’d like to use my knowledge and my experience to help bridge the gap between two different cultures. First I’d like to give a brief introduction of my organisation: Shanghai Greeters. Second, I’d like to share some appropriate small talk topics when talking with your foreign friends; Third, I’ll share the things you should avoid when hanging out with foreigners. Fourth, I’d like to invite two friends of mine, Adi and Kelly, to come up and share their funny experiences in a foreign country. Finally, I’ll leave some time for Q and A. My presentation will last about 30 minutes and I hope you all have my handout. If you don’t have the handout with you, it’s fine. I also have made a powerpoint template to assist my talk. Ok, lets get started. Shanghai Greeters was founded in 2013….

Red 的原文
My name is Wang Yi-yang, and my English name is Red. I come from China, I participate in this work and travel program for many reasons. First of all, I would like to broaden my horizons, to see the world outside and experience the different cultures and customs. Second if I can successfully come to USA and work for a few month, I will get a very valuable oversea experience. This experience will be very helpful for me in the future. Third, as we know, the USA is a very beautiful country, everybody wants to travel there and me too. After I finish my job, I’ll take some time to travel around. I would like to go to Las Vegas and Los Angeles. My friend told me that these two cities are particularly awesome. About my work experience, I used to work in the Apple shop for two summer vacations. That was 2008 and 2009 mainly to introduce and sell Apple products to the customers. Last summer I worked on a music radio, mainly to choose the songs that played on the radio and this summer vacation, I hope that I can work in the USA. That must be cool and interesting. I have a lot of hobbies such like sports especially soccer and reading, movie and music. Well, this is my basic information. I hope to see you soon. Bye-bye.
经过Mr. Wong修改的正确版
1. 单程票:one-way ticket 来回票:round-trip tickets
2. 市中心、闹区:downtown, 郊区:uptown
3. 中国书法:Chinese calligraphy
4. 福:luck (名词)也做幸运解释,在日常生活中,我们更常听见的是形容词lucky(幸运的)
5. 好吃:yummy, yum 和tasty(好吃的)、delicious(美味的) 有点相似,但较口语
其实这样有意义的旅行,在台湾及欧美国家都非常的盛行,例如海外带薪实习、互惠生(Au Pair)、义工旅行等等。
Do I have to reconfirm?
Christiana老师给Lily的订正
"As they sat in a nice coffee shop" - Be sure to pronounce the "th" correctly, it sounded like an "L" when you said it. It should sound like "th" as in "the" (there are only 2 pronunciations for "th": "th" as in "thank you" and "th" as in "the". The first is a "soft" sound and the 2nd a "hard audible" sound. "They" uses the the 2nd pronunciation of "th", the hard one. Pay attention to every time you say "they", make sure you use the correct pronunciation for "th". You should put the tip of your tongue between your teeth to make the right "hard audible" sound :)
Salty Coffee 的中文翻译
他在一个聚会上遇见了她。她如此出众,许多人都追随她左右,而他又是如此普通,没人注意到他。聚会结束后,他邀请她喝咖啡,她很惊讶,但出于礼貌她还是应允了。他们坐在一家很不错的咖啡店,他紧张地说不出话来,她感到很不舒服。突然,他问服务员,“你能给我一些盐吗?我想往咖啡里加点盐。” 每个人都很诧异地盯着他,这人太奇怪了。他的脸红了,但是服务生把盐送来时,他还是把盐加进了咖啡里,喝了起来。她很好奇,便问道:“你为什么有这个嗜好?”他解释说,“当我还是一个小男孩的时候,我住在海边。我喜欢在海边玩耍……我可以感觉到海水的味道,就像加盐的咖啡一样。现在每次喝咸咖啡的时候,我总会想起我的童年,我的故乡。我很想念我的家乡,我的父母,他们还在那里。” 她被深深地感动了。那是他的真情流露。一个能告诉别人乡愁的男人,一定是一个爱家、关心家人、有家庭责任感的男人。 接着,她也开始说起了她遥远的家乡,她的童年,她的家人。那真是一个温馨的谈话,也是他们之间故事的开端。 接着他们又约会。她发现他真是一个能够满足自己所有要求的男人。他耐心、善良、热心、细心。这是一个好男人,可她就差点错过了。多亏了那杯咸咖啡! 他们结婚了,幸福地生活在一起。每次她为他煮咖啡,都会往里面放些盐,因为他喜欢。 40年后,他去世了,留给她一封信: 我最亲爱的,请原谅我一生的谎言。记得我们的第一次约会吗?我很紧张,紧张到问服务员要了盐而不是糖。 我很难要求更改,所以我就这样喝了。我从来没有想到我们会合得来。很多次,我想告诉你真相,但是我怕那会毁了一切。 亲爱的,我不喜欢咸咖啡。但这对你来说那么重要,我已经学会了享受它。拥有你是我最大的幸福。如果我能再活一次,我希望我们还能在一起,即使这意味着我的余生都要品尝咸咖啡。
