学好英语从听力入手
不管我们学英语的目的是什么,我们都不能忽略了学习语言本身的规律。我们从语言学习本身出发以及多年来的经验,为大家总结一些确实可行的方法。接下来,小编给大家准备了学好英语从听力入手,欢迎大家参考与借鉴。
学好英语从听力入手
长期以来,我们发现大部分人学英语主要有以下几个误区:
第一,学英语,就是背单词。很多人太注重词汇量,于是花了很多时间背单词,结果收效甚微。当然词汇很重要,但是要注重学习方法,不要单独地去学习单词,把单词孤立出来,应该把听说读写结合起来,这样才能真正地掌握一门语言。
第二,短期内学好英语。学习英语是一个长期的过程,我们应该进行一些列系统化的学习才能真正学好一门语言。很多人都是三天打鱼两天晒网,如果你真想学好,一定要下定决心,有计划地进行系统化的练习。
听力是学习任何一门语言的开始
那么如何通过听力来学习英语,通过听力我们能学到什么?
首先,通过听力学习英语发音
我们通过收听VOA、BBC、CRI等主要的听力材料,可以学习到纯正的发音,在听力的同时,我们可以模仿这些纯正的发音,掌握一些发音技巧。学好语音是说好英语的第一步,这一步通过听力可以得到很好的训练。
其次,通过听力我们可以掌握语音语调
我们很多人听力很差就是因为跟不上节奏,老是觉得对方说的太快,这当然也可以理解因为不是我们的母语,这也是我们提倡多听的原因。多听不同的语音可以让我们适合更快的节奏。在听力练习中,我们可以熟悉每个单词的语音,句子之间的连读,升降调。
最后,通过听力我们可以掌握一些地道的口语表达,提高整体的理解能力等。
通过以上的分析,我们总结出:在听力的练习中,我们应当注重学习发音-语音-语调-地道俚语,从而提高语言的理解能力!
如果你还不知道从哪里开始学习英语,那么从听力入手吧。
扩展:英语语法反义疑问句
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?
