先讲一个故事
　　
　　一、不同语言产生的传说
　　
　　
　　
　　据《圣经》（Bible）记载：大洪水之后，诺亚的子孙们繁衍壮大，渐渐覆盖了整个大地上。后来，他们发明了用泥土来制造砖，这样，他们又建造了巴比伦城（Babel）。
　　
　　有一天，人们在一起议事。有人提议：我们建造一座高塔，这样在塔上，我们既可以看到远处的人们，也可以传扬我们的名声。
　　
　　大家觉得这是个好建议。于是，说干就干，很快，这座塔就高耸入云端了。天堂上的上帝，愤怒异常：凡人们怎么可以窥探天堂呢，上帝的尊严将何在？
　　
　　那时，人们说着同样的语言。一夜之间，上帝让不同部族说不同的语言。
　　
　　
　　
　　这样，分歧就产生了，隔阂、猜忌、不信任在不同部族间弥漫。因此，这座高塔，巴比伦塔（The tower of Babel）停建了。
　　
　　于是，各个民族的交流，必须依靠能懂异族语言的翻译来进行。
　　
　　这是最早学习外语的开始吧。
　　
　　
　　
　　二、目前中国的英语学习现状
　　
　　
　　
　　已经进入21世纪，学习英文是有好处的，这也是无数年轻，还是中年朋友一个孜孜不倦的梦，更多的人在实践着。
　　
　　据说，中国有3、4亿人在学英语。有1亿左右的人为英语痴迷。而我们往往学习了十几年（从小学、中学，甚至大学、研究生，工作后），相当一部分拿到各式各样的证书，但是只有极少数（有人说5%左右）能够真正用英语进行直接听说交流。
　　
　　大部分，还是聋哑英语。
　　
　　好好的口舌之间的语言，居然被我们变成书本上、文字的语言。象失传的埃及文、还是什么其他楔形文字，仅仅有文字了！？
　　
　　世界上3分之1用的语言，被我们大部分人关到书本中，悲哀啊，莫大的悲哀！
　　
　　
　　
　　三、我们的英文学习，问题出在哪里？
　　
　　
　　
　　学习方法问题：几乎所有的英文教材或者培训，都会在前言或最初强调，英语学习要从“听、说、读、写”这个顺序进行。但实际上，普遍是按照“读、写、听、说”进行的，往往在读上，少的占50%左右，多的是80、90%！！
　　
　　我们在浪费时间，浪费生命！！
　　
　　
　　
　　四、告诉大家几个真相
　　
　　
　　
　　1、只要肯下苦功夫，初中以上的基础，疯狂听3个月，就可以听懂绝大部分的英语材料。
　　
　　这需要风雨无阻。每天精听、泛听5-8小时，睡梦中，都做英文梦（呵呵，我当年这个阶段，经常用英语说梦话）。
　　
　　2、 我们身边的小孩子，包括当年的我们，3-5岁就可以和大人日常交流了，这也可以说，最多3-5年，任何一个说自己母语没有障碍的人，都可以学好外语。我们走了太遥远的路。我们在荒废生命！
　　
　　
　　
　　当代著名作家——王蒙能说一口流利、地道的维吾尔语。那是老人家60年代被下放到新疆后，才开始学习，大约2-3年，他就差不多精通了，而他没有任何教材，他是在生活中学习、在工作中学习：
　　
　　‘“我爱听维吾尔语。我爱讲维吾尔语。我常常陶醉于各民族的同胞分别用着自己的语言，淋漓酣畅的抒情达意，而同时又能很好地交流的吉祥情景。还有，没有办法隐瞒的事，我不愿意放过任何可以使用维吾尔语言的机会。一讲维吾尔语，我就神采飞扬，春风得意，生动活泼，诙谐机敏。
　　 一有空闲，我就打开收音机，收听维吾尔语广播，开始，我差不多一个字也听不懂，那也听，像欣赏音乐一样地如醉如痴地欣赏它，…两个农民小孩子说话， 我也在旁边“灌耳音”……我学维吾尔语已经要走火入魔了。”（引自《我的塞外16年》，《我是王蒙》，团结出版社1996年版）
　　
　　“每天，我…下地劳动，并且向他们每一个男、女、老、幼学习维吾尔语。一个字又一个词，一句话又一段话，我终于可以和他们互通心曲了。学会了维吾尔语，生活在维吾尔农民中间，如鱼得水。到离开这个公社的时候，我已经可以任意推开某一家的门，而觉得如同自己的家一样。”
　　 　　（引自《萨拉姆，新疆！》，《王蒙新疆散文小说选》，新疆青少年出版社1993年版）
　　
　　
　　
　　3、 这两年我用的新方法做试验，6-12个月，大多数初中以上基础的人都可以用英文自由表达。
　　
　　方法其实，很简单，仅仅是遵循“听、说、读、写”的顺序就可以了！
　　
　　只要方法正确，就这么简单！
　　
　　
　　
　　五、我们应该怎样正确学习呢，既快又有效？

回复: 十几年的学习，为什么我们还是说不好英文呢？再谈英语学习

我给大家一些建议，希望对大家又参考价值。
　　
　　1、 从骨子里热爱学习英文，象王蒙先生那样为维吾尔文痴狂；
　　
　　Rome was not built in one day. 罗马不是一天建成的。
　　
　　如果你想学好英文，就要有做梦都做英文梦的程度，那么恭喜你，你一定可以学好。（呵呵，我当年这个阶段，说梦话都是用英文的）
　　
　　每个人都又懒惰的一面，平法的我们不可避免的。但是，伟人和凡人的区别，仅仅在于———伟人能够在最困苦的时候坚持：
　　
　　“衣带渐宽终不悔，为伊消的人憔悴。”
　　
　　——这是痛苦的“坚持”过程，
　　“ 众里寻他千百度，蓦然回首，那人却在灯火阑珊处。”
　　
　　——最终胜利的喜悦！
　　
　　我的朋友们，如果你想学好英语，那么就痛下决心吧，想学，又想偷懒，那么，我劝聪明的你，不要浪费自己宝贵的时间吧。
　　
　　2、 正确的方法，真正从听开始
　　
　　A good beginning is half done. 好的开始是成功的一半。
　　
　　真正从听开始，而不是仅仅每天看2、3个小时的书，来骗自己
　　
　　1） 好的教材
　　
　　《美国之音》的英文台的《慢速英语》（Special English）,这是经历半个世纪检验的最好教材，最神奇的是它能用1500单词，将大千世界，一网打尽；
　　
　　（其他，我以后，再介绍）
　　
　　2） 精选一段，精听、跟读。（其余时间，只要是英文听力材料都可以不求甚解的听）。精听材料，一周换一篇。开始不要多，100词左右，跟读100遍以上，应小有成就。500遍以上，已经融入肉体，1000遍以上混入灵魂，不分中外、你我！
　　
　　
　　
　　3、 纠正几个错误观念
　　
　　1） 学习语言，需要象学习打球、骑自行车一样，是一种技能。而我们学习，千万别把他当学问来学。
　　
　　我们只是要用，而不是人人都是语言学家。切忌在音标、语法、单词本身，下太大功夫深究！语言就是说和用，听说不行，读写还算在行，这种现象，我们被毒害的还不够吗？
　　
　　2） 选教材，先掌握简单的。很多学英语的朋友，简单的不愿意学，其实，这样简单的材料，你能听明白吗？如果，你能听明白，你能准确的表达吗？
　　
　　根据多年经验和近几年的教学，我认为，英语应这样分级：
　　
　　1、 初级：掌握1000以内的单词，无论听说，熟练无比；
　　
　　2、 中级：掌握2000以内的单词，同样，听说自如；
　　
　　（这个阶段，才可以加大读的比例）
　　
　　3、 高级：掌握3000以上的单词，深入内心的应用，已经能用英文直接思考，没有母语的干扰。
　　
　　在此基础上，增加多少单词，都不难。回想一下，我们小学毕业后，也就掌握2000多一点的字，我们提高到5000，8000难吗？
　　
　　按这个标准，聪明的朋友们，你们心里，应该又一份蓝图了吧。

<如何提高听力>
　　
　　 呵呵,有一个最简单的方法,那就是不管三七二十一,拿到英美听力材料(有图象的电影、视频不行)，就去听。天天听，有空闲就听，大约三个月（90-120天）左右，就对英文基本没障碍了。
　　《新东方》的余敏洪自述：上大学时，普通话说不好，英文也不行。他痛下决心，课下就拎个录音机，苦苦听了三个月，结果真不错，不论标准的、不标准的，只要有人听得懂，他就听得懂。
　　 十几年前，我的很多学英语英语的朋友，都有类似的成功经验。
　　
　　 但是这种方法太枯燥，很多人听了一周左右，就恶心的想吐。然后，绝大部分都放弃了。这种方法，余老师在《新东方》讲了很多次，但是真正能坚持听的人寥若晨星。
　　
　　 那么，有没有更好的方法呢？

<如何提高听力>二
　　
　　 我先解释听力的原理：据说：中文的频率是低频语言，1500HZ左右，英文在2000—10000？HZ之间（这段，我只是在某中说法中看过一次，至于科学数据还没有看到确切实验或其他，大家姑且看此数据）。因此，欧洲人学起来比较简单，亚洲人成年后就比较难。
　　 另外，我们的耳朵很有意思。听不懂的就当作没听见，不说英语啊、日语。就说北方人吧，到了南方，比如广东、福建，听不懂他们说的方言，我们会对这种声音有什么印象呢？不自觉的作为噪音处理了。
　　 通过大量的听英文，就会对英文有感觉，这是很多英语方法，所提出的“打通耳朵的通道”
　　
<如何提高听力>三
　　
　　我再重申：英语应这样分级：
　　　　
　　　　1、 初级：掌握1000以内的单词，无论听说，熟练无比；
　　以听为主，约占到80%，然后，是说（以跟读为主）；
　　　　
　　　　2、 中级：掌握2000以内的单词，同样，听说自如；
　　　　
　　　　（这个阶段，才可以加大读的比例），大约听力占50%，说30%，阅读20%
　　　　
　　　　3、 高级：掌握3000以上的单词，深入内心的应用，已经能用英文直接思考，没有母语的干扰。此时才有开始写的资本
　　听30%-50%（随着水平增高，减少听的比例，但不得低于30%）
　　
　　听的原则：以精听为主，泛听为主
　　1、精听，选一段100--500单词的听力材料（大约1-3分钟）内容要简单，以自己看一遍，生词不超过20-30个为准。
　　 切忌，贪多.
　　One man’s meat is another man’s poison.
　　
　　《推荐材料》1、可以选《美国之音》的“慢速英语”（Special English).先不要选政治方面的材料，因为最开始对学习帮助很少。
　　《推荐材料》2、安徒生或格林童话的英文听力材料。可以选熟悉的故事，如〈卖火柴的小女孩〉〈豌豆与公主〉〈白雪公主〉等，长的段落，分做几部分精听。
　　 精听，最初一个月，1小时/天，然后1.5小时/天，直到2小时/天
　　不要贪快，“过犹不及”——做多了和做少了都一样，达不到效果。
　　
　　 泛听，方法多样：以上的精听材料是最好的泛听材料。该部分要“量不要质”。每天6-8小时。
　　 利用一切时间，比如，上班路途中、工作中、家务、上网浏览，都可以通过MP3等作为背景音（呵呵，时间上应该不难吧）
　　 英文歌曲对学习有一定帮助，同时可以调剂气氛，但是比例不可超过泛听时间的10%。

《如何背单词》
　　1、针对1000到2000的常用词，很多很容易对上图像的。
　　
　　 我建议这样背：读音搞准后（这个很容易，能发音的软件很多）。
　　
　　记住读音后，在脑海里建立一个图像，和读音建立起练习。 这个阶段不需要记怎样拼写，（当图像和声音完全联系起来才可以看拼写），尽量弱化中文意思，能用图像用图像，这样，开始培养用英文思考。
　　2、2000以上常用词及部分难记单词
　　
　　 大家记得：当年高中的英文课文《卡尔.马克思是怎样学外语的》吗吗？对，就是用你掌握的简单单词去记忆复杂的单词。
　　 这个阶段，开始需要又《英英字典》对进一步提高英文是很有好处的。
　　
即便初级阶段,仅仅听也是不够的。到了一定程度，会遇到瓶颈，提高的速度和程度都会降低。现在来谈——
　　
　　《如何提高口语》
　　
　　 没有好的听力来谈说好口语（这里也就是说），那是不现实的，是痴人说梦。
　　
　　 口语可分为三个阶段（无论处于初中高水平，这三个阶段反复出现，并不断促进提高）
　　
　　 1、跟读阶段——选用听力的精读材料或其他，反复练，跟准为止，然后进入下一阶段；
　　 2、类似情景自然反应———反应基本正确、及时；
　　 3、类似话题的讨论————基本涉及了该话题的方方面面，对于水平的综合提高，帮助非常大
　　
　　 “跟读阶段”可以自学，“类似情景自然反应”可以在英语角、课堂上由老师带领模仿，“类似话题的讨论”需要在老师或水平高的同学在充分准备材料后，共同完成

<如何阅读?>
　　
　　 呵呵，阅读英文是中国英语FANS的强项。我不多说了。
　　我强调一下，阅读的时机和内容。
　　
　　 假如：你已经完成了3个月的苦听，也能大部分听懂；同时，说的能力已经能基本应付了，此时，可以阅读一些中英文读物。
　　
　　 我认为《书虫》系列比较好，按照，书本的页树少的向多的读。
　　读也有方法，那就是尽量出声或不出声的读，先别管中文意思，读完一段，不理解的，在看字典啊，中文解释。完成一遍以后，再看第二遍。然后，这本书放到一边。用英文，自己给自己出声讲一遍。这本书可以扔一边了。
　　 这就是古人说的“薪尽火传”。知识掌握了，就可以把书本丢到一边了。

<如何写？>
　　
　　仁者见仁，智者见智。我们的 传统教育对于读写功劳还是比较大的。但是，真正写得好的也不多。
　　
　　我认为，先学好听说，然后，读上了档次了。再练写了。
　　
　　专业英语的，我不说了。
　　
　　至于外贸英语，找一本外贸往来信函之类的教材，背写到十几篇。外国人也看不出你的缺点的。呵呵，洋“八股文”而已。

<可以体会英文意境的>
　　
　　先送首歌给大家,what a wonderful world
　　这首歌,每句的描述都很容易想象。因此，对未来的英文思维是很有好处的。英文思维，并不神秘——初期是类似这首歌的简单内容，直接想象图象，然后，是用简单英文直接思考，例如：what should i do, i have no idea\I am confused\let me think, if i do this, then....等等。不多说了，大家去听歌吧
　　
　　（第一段歌词）
　　I see trees of green........我看到绿色的树木.... red roses too红玫瑰
　　I see em bloom.....我看到榆花:: for me and for you我和你
　　And I think to myself....我相信自己:: what a wonderful world.多么美妙的世界.
　　
　　I see skies of blue.....我看见蓝色的天空:: clouds of white白云
　　Bright blessed days....dark sacred nights光明幸福的日子::黑暗神圣之夜
　　And I think to myself .....what a wonderful world.我想::多么美好的世界.

<如何有效学习?______一天中的高效率时间
　　
　　假设:早晨7点起床,那么,一天中的高效学习时间如下:
　　1、7—8点；
　　2、9--11点；
　　3、下午7——9点
　　
　　如果起床时间并非7点，如6点，则上述时间都减少1小时。
　　
　　"清晨起床后，大脑经过一夜的休息， 消除了前一天的疲劳，脑神经处于活动状态，没有新的记忆干扰，此刻是认知、记忆印象都会很清晰，学习一些难记忆而必须记忆的东西,较为适宜，如语言、定律、事件等的记忆和储存。有时即使强记不住,大声念上几遍，记熟的可能性强于其他时候，这是第一个记忆高潮。
　　
　　　　上午八点至十点是第二个学习高效期，体内肾上腺等激素分泌旺盛，精力充沛，大脑具有严谨而周密的思考能力、认知能力和处理能力，此刻是攻克难题的大好时机,应当把握战机，充分利用大脑兴奋来攻关。
　　
　　　　第三个学习高效期是下午六点至八点,这是用脑的最佳时刻，不少人利用这段时间来回顾、复习全天学过的东西，加深印象，分门别类，归纳整理。也是整理笔记的黄金时机。
　　
　　　　入睡前一小时是学习与记忆的第四个高潮期，利用这段时间来加深印象，特别对一些难以记忆的东西加以复习，则不易遗忘。"

回复: 十几年的学习，为什么我们还是说不好英文呢？再谈英语学习

<学习时间的选择》
　　
　　 以上的高效时间，供大家参考。每个人的高效时间，和普遍规律略有不同。
　　
　　 对于从听力入手的朋友，建议：每天1小时的精听，分两次进行，风别在清晨和夜晚，各半小时。
　　
　　 学习，象酿酒一样，给些时间，它自己也会发酵、膨胀的。


<听力提高过程中的"假听"现象>
　　
　　在听力提高的过程中,你的水平每提高一步,就会进入下一个高原期.刚进入时,会觉得"很多东西"都听懂了,开心的很(实际上,相当一部分听的是不准确的).
　　
　　但是很快,三两天后,就变得原来简单的东西都听不懂了.
　　
　　这就是学习中的"假听"现象.
　　每出现一次"假听"现象,就是水平又要提高的表现.
　　"阳光总在风雨后,请相信有彩虹!"
　　这时,大家认识到这是一个必然现象

<口语学习的密码》
　　
　　自《达芬奇密码》之后，《藏地密码》也流行起来。
　　
　　英语口语学习，有没有密码呢？
　　密码应是没有的，但规律性还是很强的。
　　通过合适的材料，听熟后，自己开口说。（这时最好有一个能够指导的老师，及时纠正你的错误）例如，自我介绍，讲故事等。当自己能成功驾驭一段材料后，心里会有极大的成就感。该成就感会推进你继续下去。如海浪一波一波，成功的彼岸就越来越近。
　　
　　但遇到挫折的时候，也就是我之前提到的“高原期”后，需要理智的看待，自我克服。
　　
　　成功源于我们每天不断的进步

回复: 十几年的学习，为什么我们还是说不好英文呢？再谈英语学习

<口语的提高,部分练习方法>
　　
　　首先,选一段比较经典的对话(开始不要太难哦,循序渐进)大约100-200单词起步,跟着读音来学(不是跟着书本上的文字,切记)
　　
　　1、听熟悉后,开始跟读；
　　2、跟读熟悉后，把他背下来；
　　3、背下来的东西，一天中分3个时段，每次20-30遍，快速背诵下来；
　　4、差异练习：1、变成故事，以第三人称，把故事讲下来；
　　 2、故事讲述2、3遍后，写下来，请人看有什么问题，修正；
　　 3、尝试用第二人称来复述
　　
　　以上纯熟后，进入下一篇。开始提高


《听不懂的原因》
　　
　　1、听得少：这应该是听不懂的最主要原因
　　 解决方法：加强泛听时间
　　2、单词发音不准：既然自己都不准，如何能听懂准的呢？
　　 解决方法：精选一段，精度、跟读。注意：由简如繁，循序渐进
　　3、不懂句子的语调
　　 这是大多数同学忽略的部分。英文与我们中文不一样，每句话中是又起伏的，一句子中强调的部分而升降调。听不懂语调，就会在听得过程中，无法接近说话人的频率，从而无法共振
　　 解决办法：精选一段，精度、跟读。注意：由简如繁，循序渐进
　　 注意，语调的变化。自己找每句话的重音，反复体验、验证

　　关于“习惯”的养成， 有研究证明，一个习惯的养成只要坚持3周，也就是21天。
　　
　　我们学习英文也好，还是其他事情也好，往往开头是豪情万丈”之后，就是热血如“樯橹灰飞烟灭”
　　
　　万事在坚持，只要坚持21天，一个好习惯就养成了


<论口语学习中老师的必要性>
　　
　　 前些年有一个故事：说得是冰岛有一对夫妇，对中国文化非常痴迷，他们最后决定要学说中国话。当时的冰岛还没有任何中国人和会说中国话的人，甚至连教中文的书籍都没有。
　　
　　 夫妇不辞辛苦，在欧洲大陆买到学中文的书。二人热情的学习练习，一年之后，变得很流利了。这时，恰巧有中国人的观光团来冰岛。二人兴奋地赶去，和中国人交流。可是，对于夫妇二人流利的“中文”，中国人面面相觑。没有人听得懂他们的“中国话”。
　　夫妇二人说的只是世界上只有他们两人懂的“中国话”。
　　
　　 虽然，这是一个笑话，说得却也是实情。口语，学习中老师是必不可少的。
　　 如同一棵小树，不扶不成材。

<关于听力与口语的基本功说明1》
　　
　　很多同学（最起码，我的大部分同学）都有这个倾向，不愿意学最基本的内容。我举个例子：
　　
　　My name is Harry,
　　I am 7 years old,
　　I have many friends.
　　
　　　　
　　很多人在跟我学说，其实心里是不以为然的。甚至有一个同学，直接对我说：老师，我要学难一点的。
　　
　　我直接让她跟说一遍。她说了，有很多问题，
　　1、发音不准，很多音没有发到位，例如Harry的a、have的a，这里我选重读的发“梅花e”的音，训练大家发音到位；
　　2、重音和语调，每句话的重音在哪里？我们听不懂，很大程度上因为，我们说的英文语句是平平的，而英语是波浪式的，每句话都是有语调的
　　3、这是，最简单的自我介绍，你需不需要再想中文？我想大部分还是会想的吧？课堂上，我给大家一个卡通做引导，直接变成图像和英文之间的联系，这是锻炼直接用英语思维的开始
　　
　　这些，你都能做到位吗？如果没有这些基础内容，你能做更进一步的练习吗？
　　
　　还有一些。以后再说。
　　Little pot is soon hot. （直译）小水瓶容易热
　　
　　练武术，有一句话，“练武不练功，到老一场空”
　　什么是功？及时基本功。Bruce Lee，李小龙刚到叶大师那里学习，老师只让它站桩，小龙不以为然，在外面碰了壁后，自己乖乖的去站桩。以至于，后来李小龙创立了“截拳道”后，传统的站桩已经没有的，但是，一些基本功的练习，动作分解等与站桩原理是接近的。
　　
　　学英文也是一样，没有好的听说基本功，是没有好结果的，学得越久，错误就被越加强化。那么你成功的大道会是一条漫长的曲线。
　　
　　正如：“沙地起高楼，越高越危险”

　　那么，怎样做基本功练习呢？
　　
　　一、从最基本的听力开始
　　
　　 我们很多同学，最简单的不愿意听，而一股脑去听VOA（美国之音）。如果VOA连关键词也没有听懂，那么，对你来说，就是太难了。

　　 2、然后，不看字幕（干脆，“全屏”后，用书挡上）看3遍
　　 3、再对一下字幕看1遍
　　 4、不看字幕3遍
　　 5、再对一下字幕看1遍
　　 6、开始跟读3遍
　　 7、不看图像，仅仅听3遍
　　
　　第二天重复，该内容

<基本英语的850个单词——口语中表达高达85%>
　　
　　 这几年我一直在思考初级英语的分类。一直想找到使用最基本、频率最高的词语。找了几年，从VOA Special English（美国之音的慢速英语）用1500个单词来描述大千世界，到某些用800、1000或1200个单词来做——初级英语基础。最后，经过分析各种学习资料，最后确定了1000单词作为初级英语的基础。
　　
　　 “功夫不负有心人”， 我终于找到最有权威之一的 BASIC ENGLISH，“基本英语”仅仅只有850个单词，使用频率最高的“850个高频词”
　　 一本25000单词的Oxford Pocket English Dictionary（牛津口袋英语词典 本文来自汉森英语），90%的单词的解释，都是用这850个单词的!
　　
　　1930年，英国的语言学家C. K. OGDEN先生发布：《Basic English》。
　　 BASIC ENGLISH实际上是一种简化的英语。它由经过统计分析后精心挑选的850个最常用的单词构成。事实上，这850个单词在任何一篇大众文章出现频率为78%，在口语表达中则高达85%。
　　第二次世界大战时期，BASIC ENGLISH曾得到丘吉尔和英国政府的支持；这一方案也得到了美国哈佛大学的教授们的大力支持。（本文来自汉森英语）不少热情的支持者——文学家、语言学家、大学教授，他们仅使用850个单词，创作出一批优秀的文学作品。
　　其中就有世界上销量最大的图书——《圣经》，也可以用这850个单词，写出优美的文章。
　　
　　 如上所述，口语中的表达高达85%，如果掌握了这850个单词（不是仅仅背下来哦，是听说都在你的骨头里啊 本文来自汉森英语），再增加一点生活和工作常用词，用1000到2000单词，来生活工作，不是很容易的事吗？
　　
　　850词范例
　　OPERATIONS(最常用的100 词)
　　1． 表示动作的词：come get give go keep let make put seem take be do have say see send may will
　　2.介词：about across after against among at before between by down from in off on over through to under up with as for of till than
　　3.代词：a the all any every no other some such that this I he you who
　　4.连接词：and because but or if though while how when where why
　　5.副词：again ever far forward here near now out still then there together well almost enough even little much not only quite so very tomorrow yesterday north south east west please yes

VOA的听法
　　
　　 首先，不看提示字幕，听Key word，只要听懂听对，就说明，这段材料是适合你的。（要知道，不要求全，全听懂，好比1年级的时候，你学得再好，也很难得100分，等到3年级的时候，大部分同学回做一年级的考试题，很多都可以得100分，因为你的水平提高了，这如同酿酒发酵，需要一定时间的酝酿。也就是“温故知新”了）。
　　 其次，如果材料的长度你跟起来吃力，先把它分成2部分，这样，这段材料学起来，就比较合适了。如果还觉得长，分3部分或4部分。分成4部分，还觉得长，那么，先去学童话吧，暂时VOA还不适合你（这是一个你实际的学习水平问题，长了你跟不上，只好降标准。如同一个人只有跑500米的能力，硬撑着跑了1000米，自然，你就累坏了，要休息很久，才可以再开始。所以，要量力而行，不可贪多，贪快）
　　 第三，更换新材料的时间。
　　 强烈要求，每段材料，最多听5天，（如分成2部分，那每部分各5天）。有些细节实在听不清楚，就过去。检验标准，是90%以上听懂了，就可以了。很多同学就是在“扣细节”的时候，浪费了时间，如上面我的举例，只要你有了三年级的水平，再回来做一年级的题，自然，小菜一碟了。
　　 第四，VOA 1500单词，的记忆
　　既然听VOA，自然要把它记下来了，将来无论听，还是说都是必要的。

<如何培养自信心和耐力>
　　
　　诚如一些同学说：来这里看英语帖的同学，大部分都是来寻“秘籍”或“诀窍”的。象《功夫熊猫》中的阿波，拿到秘籍后发现：

　　秘籍中空空如也，失望之极。其实，真正的秘籍，就是“辛勤的汗水洒在正确的道路上”。
　　
　　 那么如何提高自信心和耐力呢？我教大家一个最简单的方法。大家注意观察身边和大街上来来往往的人群：看看有没有两只手自然下垂或行走时摆动，，手里既不拿东西，也不放在口袋里或两手相握的呢？
　　
　　 可以告诉大家，这样的人有，但是少之又少。能做到自然的人，即便相貌平平、穿着朴素，那种特殊的自信的气质，还是让他（她）“鹤立鸡群”。
　　
　　 这是为什么呢？在环境中，人们不自然的要保护自己。尤其是前部，重要的器官，如心肺都在前面可以被攻击，这样本能的手里要有所掌握。
　　如果，你能练成双手自然下垂站立和行走，那么，你的自信心就培养出来了。汉森英语。有了自信，自然，做事情成功的可能性，无形中就大了很多。
　　
　　有朋友会问：自信心练出来了，那么恒心和耐力，怎么练呢？
　　 呵呵，还是练“双手自然下垂站立或摆动行走”。因为，练成这个动作至少要一个月的时间，如果你能不断的要求自己这样做，一个月以后，你练成了自信，随之坚持一个月的时间本身，耐性也就练成了。
　　
　　你说呢？从现在就开始吧，这么简简单单的动作。
　　“不积跬步，无以至千里。”

初学者的过程是迷茫的，大多都是以强烈的热情开始的
　　如何坚持下去，将是关键的关键
　　
　　如果一直都是很顺利的进步，将是最好的良性刺激。
　　是否很漫长，是个人对未来的时间和程度的期待，最初一周2000单词，就可见，想学好的愿望是迫切的。同时，方法又是这学习的重中之重。
　　
　　听不准有几方面原因:
　　1、听的时间不够
　　2、自身的发音不准
　　3、听得教材没有循序渐进，高于自己的程度
　　
　　第一点，这是一个硬指标，做不到谈其他的，都是妄谈
　　第二点，我记得说你说从学音标开始，这应该是一个好的开始，建议再找一个英语说得好的老师或朋友，帮你纠正；也可以，自己录音，自己与听力材料比对，再修正自己的发音（这个方法需要有耐性，如果能坚持住这一点，相信，没有完成不了的）
　　第三点，既然，自认为是初学者，那么，就彻底从基础学起。建议先背VOA的1500个基础单词，这是50多年来经过时间验证的，注意，不仅仅是记住拼写，听力记住是关键哦。
　　自于，原声读物，你听不懂，现在是正常的。很多英语专业的毕业生，也听不懂原声电影和电视节目。因为，他们的发音部位本身就不对的。
　　
　　听力是一个条件反射的过程。是从自己掌握的语音系统里来提取单词。如果“听”过程的单词，与你掌握的单词音在大脑里“比对”时，没有“=”号，那么，这个单词就背作为生词处理。
　　发音不准的越多，就越听不懂；越听不懂，就非常打击积极性

《口语练习之———口腔扩张》
　　
　　
　　“工欲善其事，必先利其器。”
　　既然学口语，听力必须能听懂一些简单童话、对话之类的。这样，才可以口语学习。
　　
　　听力的基础是，听懂1000个左右常用高频词。
　　口语的基础，需要练好口腔肌肉（这个不是某某的什么国际肌肉哦）。因为很多音，我们母语是没有的，那么相关发音的肌肉是没有练习过的，就如同“手无缚鸡之力”一样，心有余而力不足。如同拼音里，西北和两湖等地的人发不好N的音，因为在当地话里，基本是用L来发音的；东北人发不好Z C S和ZH CH SH是一样的。可以想象，你让他在英语里能发出来这些音，那才是奇怪了呢。
　　
　　怎样练口腔肌肉呢？不是单纯的去喊，去说。有一些老师，他的声音整个都是沙哑的，这就是没有科学练习的结果，声带喊坏了。
　　
　　《口腔扩张》
　　我们中文的绕口令，在英语里叫TONGUE TWISTER。我们用的是以嘴唇和舌头配合为主，而英语是以舌头变化为主。尤其是舌头的后部发音。
　　而后部发音，很大一部分，需要口腔先扩张起来。
　　A 下巴不动，张大口腔内部。这个比较难，但是，这个是最基本的，必须要练，请大家多琢磨；练好这一步，才可以练习下一步
　　B 张大嘴巴，打哈欠，这时明显可以感觉口腔内部的扩张
　　
　　这个练习，建议每天练习5组，每次每个动作20次。时间为一周。
　　以后，每天有空就做一组就够了。这样会有足够的口腔空间和牵动相关肌肉得力量。

　《口语练习之二——发音练习用Tongue Twister》
　　
　　
　　口腔扩张肌肉练习后，开始绕口令的学习了。
　　
　　强烈要求：先将以下绕口令查准读音后，读几遍，录音存档（以备自我分析、比对）
　　
　　练习内容：
　　1、硬腭和软腭结合部位的练习（接近于口腔中部发音）
　　Can you can a can as a canner can can a can?
　　Give papa a cup of proper coffee in a copper coffee cup.
　　Give me the gift of a grip top sock

《口语练习之四——人称转换练习》
　　
　　大家经过之前的基本功练习之后，开始做一些有趣的练习了。这需要有一个老师，或英语口语水平相对于你好一些的朋友做陪练。
　　
　　做英语人称转换的练习：
　　例如：
　　My name is Harry.
　　I am 7 years old.
　　I have many friends.
　　My best friend is Ben.
　　He is 7.
　　We go to the same school.
　　We are in the same class.
　　We help each other with our homework.
　　
　　首先需要熟练说上面的简介，然后变换城第二人称，如：Your name is Harry...
　　 然后变化成第三人称，如：His name is Harry...
　　
　　这里谈一个大部分学生都有的误区：会觉得这个内容太简单，想学难的。实际上，你用第一人称讲下来之后，绝大部分不能很好的转换成第二、第三人称。同时，这也是英语思维培养的开始。
　　
　　如果有帮助，我会在口语练习上继续介绍方法。

口语练习之三——发音比对练习
　　
　　继续重复以上练习。基本功的练习将在不久的将来让你获益匪浅。
　　
　　发音比对练习
　　
　　何谓发音比对？简单的说就是，就是把你的发音和标准的发音进行对比，有几种方法供大家参考：
　　
　　1、老师领读，跟读，老师来纠正。要求老师的发音和听音能力很好，并有耐心和足够纠正能力；
　　不足：老师的水平如何，作为学员的我们无法判断
　　2、软件比读。科技日新月异，快得眼花缭乱。很多纠正发音的软件出来了。我推荐一套，供大家参考：
　　Tell me more english, 中文为“英文任我行”。大家可以买这套软件或其他的来跟着发音，软件会根据你的发音，显示相似程度；（本人不是为它做广告哦）
　　不足：课程编得有些枯燥。学员在学习时，坚持下去需要毅力
　　3、买一套音标丛书，跟读，录音，比对；再跟读，录音，比对。这是一套行而有效的办法。
　　不足，特枯燥，绝大多数学员是是坚持不下来的。
　　音标读完之后，找最简单的材料（100单词以内的），跟读，录音，比对；再跟读，录音，比对。
　　
　　以上任何一种方式学完之后，都要用第3种找材料去跟读，录音，比对；再跟读，录音，比对。真正纠正发音。
　　
　　这也是基本功练习

口语练习之五——英语思维初步培养
　　　　
　　之四中，我们学习了英语人称的变换，需要找一些简单的课文，练习10篇以上，应初步建立起人称转换的思维。
　　
　　下一步呢，找一篇故事情节比较突出的文章，我习惯于最初用这一篇：
　　
　　How did you lost you way?
　　
　　Mrs. Brown’s old grandfather lived with her and her husband. Everymorning he went for a walk in the park and came home at half past twelve for his lunch.
　　But one morning a police car stopped outside Mrs. Brown’s house at 12 o’clock, and two policemen helped Mr Brown to get out. One of them said to Mrs. Brown, “the poor old gentleman lost his way in the park and telephoned to us for help, so we sent a car to bring me home.” Mrs. Brown was very surprised, but she thanked the policemen and they left.
　　“But, Grandfather,” she then said, “you have been to that park nearly every day for twenty years. How did you lose your way there?”
　　The old man smiled, closed one eye and said, “I didn’t quite lose my way. I just got tired and I didn’t want to walk home!”
　　
　　怎样学呢？要用他的录音，先不要看内容，反复听2-3遍。能听懂个大概吧。
　　然后呢，跟读10遍。看一遍内容。再跟读10遍，看一遍内容。到能记住为止。
　　这个过程中（看过第一遍内容之后），就在头脑中建立起一个MOVIE，英语思维其实并不难，这就是英语思维

《如何培养出双语儿童？——写给年轻的父母们》
　　
　　无容置疑，目前，英语是世界上最流行的语言，从尼罗河两岸到东非大裂谷的非洲，到曾经印第安人天下的南美洲，大部分国家都在把英语作为最重要的外语。（北美洲两个大国：美国、加拿大本身就是英语国家或英语为主要语言的国家）
　　
　　亚洲尤为重视英语的学习，且不说以英语为官方语言的印度、菲律宾等，中国、日本、韩国等国家更是把英语作为必修课程。曾有教育机构调查：每个学生，从小学甚至从幼儿园开始，到大学毕业，有50%的时间在学英语，考试的效果还比较理想，超过60%的学生可以达到标准，但是，说得水平就太难为情了，不要说去交流，连最基本的问候，都听不懂。
　　
　　50%的时间在学英语，而十几年过去，连听说都不行，那么我们的儿童，这是我们所期望的明天吗？他们还要浪费有限的生命，仅仅为了一纸证书吗？
　　我们学习语言的本质是什么？
　　
　　然后，再走进大学毕业后，去培训班去培训英语口语。我们如何能走出这个怪圈？
　　
　　那么，儿童应该怎样培养出英语水平呢？
　　
　　有人说，把孩子送到国外，去个英语家庭生活1、2年，水平就很好了。的确，5-12岁之间的孩子，对学习语言是敏感的，很容易去掌握一门外语。
　　但是，仔细想一想，这是不现实的：大部分的孩子无论是经济上还是际遇上都不太可能去国外生活几年，另外生活几年后，回到中国，汉语又成了大问题，难道还要重新学汉语吗？又有几个父母舍得自己的有小孩子，漂洋过海，寄人篱下呢？
　　
　　到底应该怎样做？
　　
　　看一下我们目前的教学：先从认识ABC，然后音标开始的，再之后语法和阅读。且不说如何，我们直接看结———往往学了5、6年的小学生为了考试而学习，听和说都是很弱的，如何能说双语儿童？即使很多英语小学的学生绝大部分也是如此！
　　
　　我们的教育方法太落后了，还是沿用“语法—翻译”的教学模式，而世界上大部分国家摒弃了这种落后的学习方法，而我们还在用，还在用得孜孜不倦，用得不离不弃！
　　
　　学习并不是一件苦差事，而应该是一件非常快乐的事。我们错在方法上，我们错在态度上。
　　

回复: 十几年的学习，为什么我们还是说不好英文呢？再谈英语学习

一） 快乐的学习，需要让孩子变得有兴趣
　　
　　2006年1月5日，《广州日报》头版刊出标题新闻《“省实”（广东实验中学——作者注）13岁女生雅思总分全国最高》，并在要闻版以《13岁女生雅思三科满分总分全国最高》为题，进行了详细报道。
　　
　　钟琬婷7岁时在父亲的指导下开始系统学习英语。虽然没有出过国门，但在英语学习上却取得了令人瞩目的成绩，国内多家报刊和电视传媒对此进行了广泛报道。
　　钟琬婷9岁以笔试88分（满分100分）、口试4分（满分5分）的优异成绩通过全国公共英语二级考试（PETS—2），达到了高中优秀毕业生的英语水平；
　　10岁以笔试70分、口试4分的成绩通过全国公共英语四级考试（PETS—4），达到了大学本科毕业生的英语水平；
　　12岁以笔试85分、口试5分的优异成绩通过全国公共英语五级考试（PETS—5）（最高级），达到了公派出国留学硕士研究生的英语水平。
　　2005年12月17日，13岁的钟琬婷首次参加剑桥雅思考试（IELTS）取得了阅读9分、听力9分、口语9分、写作7分，总成绩8.5分的优异成绩。
　　而且她的口语非常好，完全达到了母语的水平！他的父亲——钟沛英语很好，但并不是专职的教师，而是工程师。
　　最重要的是：钟琬婷在父亲的引导下，一直是在快乐、自愿的气氛中来学习英语的！
　　
　　二） 开放的教学方式，游戏着学习，零压力
　　道理同第一条一样，兴趣是最好的老师。这需要孩子愿意学习和老师的正确引导。
　　5-12岁是儿童学习语言的关键，而这个学期的儿童特点是：好动，好奇心强，愿意接受新事物。而刻板的课堂教育，如《童年》这首歌里唱得：“盼望着下课，盼望着放学”。
　　这样学习的效果可想而知。
　　对老师的要求很高，首先要听说的能力很强，发音很准；
　　有想象力和创造力，随时调动孩子的兴趣；
　　有爱心，有耐心；
　　
　　三） 培养英语思维，双语儿童培养，自然水到渠成
　　国外的很多先进教学方案是值得我们学习和使用的：如：
　　
　　1、TPR教学，这是最初建立英语思维的好方法
　　何谓TPR？Total Physical Response，意思是身体反应的语言。这其中一部分是直接做动作，形成自然的条件反射，如stand up、sit down、walk等
　　另外一部分是名词，在儿童的头脑里:实物的图像和语音直接建立起联系：如：cup、 plate、bowl等，以及其他位置关系等等单词，大约有500-600个，孩子在2周-4周内完全掌握，这样初步的思维建立起来了。
　　2、浸入式(Immersion)教学，简单的说就是全英文环境来学习各种生活、和学习知识。
　　这套方法，加拿大从上个世纪60年代、美国从70年代开始采用，作为儿童的外语培养效果还是很好的。
　　3、交流英语、情景英语等
　　当孩子能够用英语说他们身边的事物的时候，他们会非常感兴趣，这样他们就会——
　　四） 孩子由被动学习到主动去学习
　　当孩子进入用流利的、母语式的用英语表达的状态，即便是应试英语，考分也会很高，因为毕竟孩子是把这门功课作为母语来处理，他的语感、阅读都会很容易。试想，孩子中国话说的很好，那么语文对他来说难吗？
　　
　　最后，借美国语言心理学教授James J. Asher的一句话：
　　“Tell me, and I’ll remember for a day. 讲给我听，我会记住一天
　　Show me, and I’ll remember for a week. 演给我看，我会记住一个星期
　　Involve me, and I’ll remember for a lifetime.”让我来参加（来做），我会记住一辈子。

认真模仿当然是一种好方法。但是，我们中国人的绝大部分，是无法后部发音的。可以说，这部分的肌肉和发音部分都是荒芜的，一个简单的绕口令:红凤凰，黄凤凰，粉红凤凰花凤凰。
　　
　　如果，类似的舌根音，你能发得出来，并且可以很快的说出来。说明，你软腭的肌肉是有力量的，可以继续去模仿录音。如果，不能，还是需要练习的。
　　
　　总而言之，语言简单的说，就是说话，自然要多练习。

生漫漫，学而无涯。
　　 任何事物都是有窍门的，所以，古人有了“事倍功半”和“事半功倍”的成语。
　　
　　 反观，今天中国的英语学习现状，一直盘旋于欧美等发达国家30、40年前的现状。要么，“闭门造车”，要么，迎合低俗，搞什么“外教至上”之类。绝少有人深入研究，借鉴国外先进经验，总结中国儿童的实际情况，不断丰富教学方法。
　　
　　 以下，为参考国外儿童启蒙教育的数本“最先掌握100单词”，并结合教学实践，总结的100单词，供大家学习借鉴。
　　
　　 学习方法：
　　音：家长请将音自己读准，可以借鉴电子词典等工具，必要时多给孩子听，因为，他们的听力接受能力是远远超过一般家长的；
　　
　　义：请做相关卡片。这个比较容易，大街上的幼儿卡片都有，加上以下英文就可以了；
　　
　　动作：有动词的就和孩子一起去做动作，学十遍，不如做一遍；
　　
　　重点：这是，生活中最基础的单词，随处可见，见一次说一次，小孩子3、5遍就记熟了；
　　 不要强求孩子很快记住，而是潜移默化。2、3天“见物发音”，“听音指物”是快的，7、8天记住，也是不错的。

常用词的同义词——少儿英语基础（二）
　　
　　**对于成人，也需要熟练掌握这些同义词的转换
　　
　　
　　如同大家的共识，小孩子的语言是“习得”，而不是“学得”的。
　　
　　在经历过上述100个最初认识的单词后，孩子还掌握了一些基础的动作和问候语等。如果要让这些语言变成第二母语，其实只有一个方法，那就是：父母或老师，反复的、变换形式去引导孩子去说，去用。曾经有母亲，课后惊喜的跟我说:她上幼儿园大班的儿子，在吃鱼的时候，告诉她：“The fish is very delicious."
　　
　　当语言变成一种习惯，一切都变得自然而然了
　　
　　那么同义词是什么呢？
　　
　　The girl is beautiful.
　　The girl is pretty.
　　The boy is handsome.
　　
　　这里就是同义词，意思的差别、使用的不同，孩子们会很开心地去接受他们，但是，家长或老师要用英文引导他们说出意思，哪怕是中文的意思，也是好的。
　　
　　其他近似或相近的如：
　　Small\little\tiny
　　Big\large
　　Tall\high
　　funny\interesting
　　over\top
　　speak\say
　　eat(drink)\have
　　wash\clean
　　happy\glad
　　smile\laugh
　　walk\run
　　see\watch
　　tummy\abdomen

口语“晨读”推荐书——The Story of Mankind 人类的
　　
　　
　　 训练过听力（一）或以上的同学，对于语音应有较好的辨别能力。那么，每天的晨读就开始吧。
　　
　　 每天清晨根据可以读诵10-15分钟。睡前再读10-15分钟。最初，每天不应超过30分钟（没有训练过的嗓子是很容易变沙哑的；一旦沙哑，只好休息一周。将得不偿失）
　　
　　 这本书是非常好的读诵教材，而且，它是西方英语国家几代儿童的最受欢迎的历史读物之一。
　　 国内出版有两个版本，一个为中英文对照的。另一个是“中央编译出版社”的英文版本。建议选择后者。
　　
　　 以下为这本书的英文简介：
　　Winner of the first John Newbery Medal, this renowned classic is now updated for the millennium. First published in 1921 and translated since into eighteen languages, The Story of Mankind has charmed generations of readers with its warmth, simplicity, and wisdom. Beginning with the origins of human life and sweeping forward to illuminate all of history, Hendrik Willem van Loon's ability to convey history as a fascinating tale of adventure has endeared this book to countless readers and has attained it a unique place in publishing history. This new version has been brought up to date by John Merriman, professor of history at Yale University. It incorporates the most important developments of the last three decades-including the Vietnam War, the turbulence of the 1960s, space exploration, the emergence of developing countries, and the astounding advances we have witnessed in medicine and science-and looks toward the emerging themes of the twenty-first century. Hendrik Willem van Loon received worldwide acclaim for the many books that he both wrote and illustrated. Among his most beloved are The Story of America, The Story of the Bible, and The Life and Times of Rembrandt. This new edition retains van Loon's delightful original pen-and-ink illustrations, maps, and animated chronology

　《关于“精听”中的疑问解答》
　　
　　 　　
　　 总的原则：我们精听的最终目的是，熟悉每一个单词、短语的读音和含义，不同程度建立起不翻译二直接理解的英语思维。
　　
　　 因此：
　　 1、“边听边看文字。” 这是可以的，但是，文字是拐杖，这段材料，最后只是听，没有文字和拼写；
　　 2、“先听1-2天后，再看文字”。这个建议做个修整：每天都要至少看文字，因为，你是在练习精听，所以，需要尽快掌握每个单词和短语，以及长句；
　　 3、“我边听边写，感觉记得很好”。也是可以的，因为，这部分同学已经习惯了听写，而且，听写在一定程度上也是对听有帮助的，所以可以继续保持。但是，同样这也是拐杖，同一篇材料要尽量、今早丢掉这个拐杖；
　　 4、“我每次听超过30分钟精听，感觉无法集中精力”
　　 这是正常的，心理学家做过实验，总结出一个一般规律：绝大多数人的对同一件事的专注最多15分钟。
　　建议：每次只要15分钟精听，每天至少2-4次；
　　 5、“泛听的时间无法保证”。其实，泛听最好保证，上下班的时间、做家务的时候、上网时间，作为伴音，可能4个小时都可以呢。比如现在，你看这个帖子的时候，就可以泛听；
　　 6、“泛听材料听什么好呢？”
　　 以精听的相同材料为主，觉得疲惫或心情不好时，可以听自己喜欢的英文歌曲

最初掌握的常用句型——少儿英语基础（二）
　　
　　
　　再强调一次：语言就是一种条件反射。需要多练习，多重复，儿童是这样，成人也是这样。只是少年儿童需要更多得趣味性，而不是，仅仅的死记硬背而。
　　
　　
　　1、Q(Question):What is this?
　　 A(Answer) :This is a (an)...
　　 这是需要用一个月左右的时间，反复练习。当孩子们能说出物品对应得英文后，他们会很兴奋，而且会更愿意学习。
　　
　　2、Q:Where is ...
　　 A:This is
　　
　　3 Q:Whose T-shirt(shoes,pants,etc) is Red(green,yellow,etc.)
　　 A:My ...is...
　　4 身体部位练习
　　 Q: Where is you leg(hand,foot,eye,ear,etc.)?
　　 A: This is my ....
　　
　　儿童的语言生成或者发展，是促进引导形的，切不可硬性规定如何如何。而如何去引导，同时让他们字在学习中感到兴趣，和自己的进步则是最好的。

听说读写，本身就是不好分清楚是怎样怎样的。就如同古老的“阴阳鱼”——黑中有白，白中有黑；阴中有阳，阳中有阴。
　　同样，说的过程中，听、写、读也都在进行中。语言是立体的，从来就不应该把“听说读写”独立开来。
　　
　　学习方法：
　　1、第一周，开始听Listening Step I，之后按推荐教程继续坚持；
　　2、第二周起，开始加入Speaking Step I内容，快慢自己掌握，用2-3个月时间完成
　　
　　图中的，
　　　　
　　　　第一循环部分：
　　　　
　　　　1）First 100 words
　　　　Colour 颜色
　　　　Red yellow blue green pink purple white black
　　　　That can drive 交通工具
　　　　Bike car bus ship plane motorcycle boat
　　　　Bathing time 洗澡
　　　　Wash water arm hand leg foot head face towel dry
　　　　Bed time 睡觉
　　　　Bed sheet quilt book lamp pillow sleep dream
　　　　Meal time 吃饭
　　　　Eat meal bread egg drink milk apple banana spoon
　　　　Myself 自己
　　　　Name play ball friend jump walk run talk listen boy girl children
　　　　Home 室内
　　　　Table chair TV sofa computor clock home house mum dad toy

　　　　Clothing 衣物
　　　　T-shirt skirt shoes trousers socks coat
　　　　Pet 宠物
　　　　 Dog cat fish bird
　　　　Farm animals 农场动物
　　　　 Sheep chick duck goose horse cow donkey
　　　　Wild animals 野生动物
　　　　 Tiger wolf rabbit bear elephant frog lion monkey
　　　　
　　　　 这一部分，怎样练习呢？
　　　　
　　　　 如同小孩子看图说话，看物说话，看到什么，就练习什么，每天，看到就说（先要用发音工具，把每个单词跟读准了）。每天练习2次，每次15分钟。大约1周时间
　　　　然后，再找
　　　　一个朋友练习：一问一答: What is this? This is ____.
　　　　 What is _____.This is_____.
　　　　颜色部分，看到什么东西，就说什么颜色，然后，和朋友练习。——————语言，一定要在交流中学习，只存在于书本中的语言，基本上都已经失传了！
　　　　
　　　　
　　　　 然后，开始训练
　　　　
　　　　 2）数数字，1-100（当然，先发音读准），60秒为及格，40秒为优秀。当你能够做到40秒的时候，你会惊奇的发现，数字不难了，就像听说汉语数字一样简单，要知道，任何语言10%左右的内容是和数字有关系的。
　　　　
　　《读》
　　　　
　　　　这几天晚上，在找BEGINNER阅读用的材料。可惜，能够买到或网上找到的合适的材料太少了。呵呵，只好，自己敲一些了：（因涉及到版权问题，内容被本人编辑过)
　　　　
　　　　1、 The Ugly Duckling
　　　　
　　　　Once upon a time, there was a mother duck,
　　　　
　　　　and there were seven eggs.
　　　　
　　　　One day, there were six beautiful duckling out. But one was not.
　　　　
　　　　The mother duck said to the ugly duckling,"you are ugly, go away!"
　　　　
　　　　The ugly duckling met a horse, the horse said to the ugly duckling,"you are ugly, go away!"
　　　　
　　　　The ugly duckling met a cow, the cow said to the ugly duckling,"you are ugly, go away!"
　　　　
　　　　The ugly duckling met a dog, the dog said to the ugly duckling,"you are ugly, go away!"
　　　　
　　　　The ugly duckling met a cat, the cat said to the ugly duckling,"you are ugly, go away!"
　　　　
　　　　The ugly duckling met a boy, the boy said to the ugly duckling,"you are ugly, go away!"
　　　　
　　　　The ugly duckling met a girl, the girl said to the ugly duckling,"you are ugly, go away!"
　　　　
　　　　The ugly duckling was sad and he was all alone.
　　　　
　　　　One day, a swan said to him,"Look in the water, you are beautiful, come with us"
　　　　
　　　　So he did.
　　　　Now he was a swan!
　　　　
　　　　在本篇文章中示意图的第一循环中的"读",大家可以找些类似,单词比较简单的阅读书籍,因为,主要掌握100-150个单词,就需要,反复和加深.也欢迎,大家有类似程度的材料,发出来,共同学习.
　　
　　　I, you and she
　　　　
　　　　It is the first day, Jimmy goes to school.
　　　　The teacher teaches him," I am your teacher, you are my student and she is your classmate." The teacher points to a girl.
　　　　Jimmy comes back home. He says to his father,"I am your teacher, you are my student and she is your classmate." Jimmy points to his mother.
　　　　
　　　　His father is very angry. He says," I teach you, too.
　　　　I am your father, you are my son and she is your mother."
　　　　
　　　　The next day, Jimmy goes to school, he says to his teacher,"I am your father, you are my son and she is your mother."
　　
　　《说》
　　　　　　
　　　　前面介绍了听、说、读，我们要给“第一循环”一个闭合了，到说了：
　　　　1、自我介绍
　　　　My name is ___, nice to meet you.
　　　　Hello, I am ___. This is my family (classmate, workmate).
　　　　This is Candy, this is Bob
　　　　2、物品介绍
　　　　This is my dog, his(her) name is Dick. I like to play with him.
　　　　This is my new pen. My friend Lily gave to me. I like it very much. You see, the pen is blue and a lovely cat on the cap.
　　　　3、情景介绍
　　　　My home is not on a farm. My home is in a small town. A small town is not as big as a city.
　　　　4、颜色、形状描述
　　　　My favorite toy is a cute Panda. He has two black circle as eyes and ears. I like his hands and feet, too. They are all black.His face,arms,legs,chest, tummy and back are all white. Is it funny? I like my toy panda.
　　
　　关键，在于多练习。熟能生巧，语言就是条件反射，反复练习，必将真正掌握它！

我刚开始学法语，就是秉承着“听的懂、讲得出”的方法，不纠结具体拼法，我觉得这样确实比较好，上手就能被课文了，一遍遍地听，一遍遍地背。以前学英语，从字母、音标、拼写、练习。。。。。开始，后来真的变成竞技应试了，学得都乏味了。
