On English learning.As we stepped on the land of Singapore, it was inevitable to face a environment of English. The world is very different now, as the people are connected with each other more closely than the past,so there's nothing we can do without a communication tool. In the light of this, English seems to be a good one, for its simplicity in learning and wide-spreaded. For we students learning English as a second language, certain methods should be taken if we want to learn English well.
The basic elements of English are listening speaking reading and writing. As an old saying goes: Practice makes perfect. We need to practice the four skills mentioned above in order to master English. This seems easy, but is hard to be done. The real questions are how to find out what is the skill that is needed to improve most and how to arrange time properly to improve your English in a whole.
Different people have various ways of learning English, though a few of the ways are efficient. Students today have their (more...)
多听,多说,多读,多写,
多听,多说,多读,多写,
首先呢我的承认我在语文上面很失败。英文很不好,至今还在要边读论文边查字典,何其耻也。但是正所谓没吃过猪肉,好歹见过猪跑,自己不好,未必不知道别人之好。故此,斗胆献芹,以为绵薄。计有四端,如上所陈者也。
所谓听说读写,言文之四维,四维不张,言文灭亡。听88.9, 是BBC International广播,24小时不断重复,以为练习听力。
多说,尤其是bridging course的时候,课後多与老师交流,不仅锻炼口语,还能借此和老师建立深厚感情,一举两得。
多读,bridging course的课本内容有限,多读其他书,我的老师曾经推介Russell 写的<History of Western Philosophy>,还有charles Lamb的 Essays 。这类文章好比《古文辞类纂》里面收录的模范文章,值得多读,不仅得其陶范、亦可增广见闻,一举两得。还可以读一些诗歌,以体会外国语言的韵律之美。18-9世纪的英国诗歌语言朴实,韵律整齐,文字也有可观者,读来可以感受三百首以外的诗的特色。
多写,不言而喻。但是并非作长篇大论才算写。不妨以每天的经历做日记,练习用英语纪录见闻,表达观感。
这里说的大都是课外的。至于上课,诸君自然比我有经验,故无从置喙了。
