Oral English Learning Based on My Experiences.
[color=Blue][size=3](Domestic Method)[/size][/color]Z"G(x|0iF D'T8HL M${N[b][size=2][color=Purple]I have been thinking that the conclusions which I made by myself have formed the deepest impression on my mind while studying. Basically, I would not grasp a book and then try to recite it or follow the chapter to learn it. Actually, I would take a little time to skim through the whole book and manage to pick up the points I need. Finally, I will rearrange the chapters or main points according to what I really want. UBg Qf4]
So, don’t pay much more attention to seeking as many materials as possible. Why not finish one and review it before finding the next one? Eagerness for quick success and instant benefit does not always do anything good for you.

Here is one of my learning experiences: (Three goals are shown below)
d&gbU/PXw B3H
[color=Blue][b]The first goal: Short dialogue. [/b][/color]
The first step: Choose the best reference stuff, for example, the part of TOEFL Listening Comprehension. Part A is excellent study material for practicing oral English at the beginning.
j5W3s RG:sG
The second step: Getting to be familiar with all the sentences, eliminate the new words and understand the meaning.+E`2T v g w R
,D f)B2VzXa
The third step: Categorise all the sentences into the different topics in which those sentences might be used. b:o*@3d(~-y
&Cp nz"BR&Q4?9k
The fourth step: Try to recite those in terms of certain topics.
The fifth step: After you can feel free to speak those out loud, why not alternate the original sentences and put those into more suitable situations that you can imagine. K \ I/B7d%WM V2s
{['}7B"g!uKtuF
The final step: Practice makes perfect. Take every advantage of chances to chat with native English speakers (or your foreign teachers). P+e$`!coL
q1Qk ~1O Ew3V
[color=Blue][b]The second goal: Long dialogue.[/b][/color]ON ^Z S$Hej
:G g n6t-s"c
Have you accomplished the fist goal? ::z3 Whether you can succeed in achieving the second goal has a lot to do with the first goal. The better you have achieved your first goal, the faster and easier you will feel while being in pursuit of this goal.
Select several bigger topics, and place the corresponding short dialogues to those. Try more. As long as you feel you are quite enough. Not easy? Well, turn to Part B (TOEFL) for help. ::81
,p D X P0S l"g_$u8x
[color=Blue][b]The third goal: Talk or presentation. [/b][/color]
Well, this is harder than the above two goals. How come? This goal is not limited by our own majors. (Such as mine, my research field is software engineering) Of course, we will probably have a talk with, well, who is researching macro-economics or a neuropathist. We sure can have a good talk though we are engaging in different research domains. The point is that--as our English levels are going up, the image of insufficient “topics” dramatically spurts out in front of us. More and more new vocabulary, parlance and cultures and so on we have to learn and understand. Indeed, Part C is the case. When you can almost comprehend the meaning of the native speaking, (congratulations!) you become one of the “native English speakers.” ::z3 If you really want to live in an English speaking country, the approach how to cut down the length of this process is unavoidable and indispensable. ::81[/color][/size][/b]

Oral English Learning Based on My Experiences.

[b][size=2][color=Purple]Do not assume that you can learn oral English well in English speaking country as a matter of course. I am kidding you? [color=Red]=_=![/color] Don’t take it for granted, again.

Really using a language makes all the difference! The speaking speed, the accent, the stress and the connection… For me, it will really take a long time to get used to and acquire those.
To be complete honest, I am still looking into ways of making my oral English better. (In fact, I am not even half way through.) Thus, there are not that many positive methods I can post. I can just list some points in terms of my short experiences. -L |u1chi?"xf N
;USX,^%Mgr
(1)You had better live in the student hall or with a native family in the first year. That means you will have more opportunities to chat with natives. Y,p C.g i3?IU
6e!Z)E6C$U P\Y)?
(2)Listen to the radio or watch TV as much as possible after your research work or classes. It may help you enhance your responsive speed and understand more local cultures. ~7^E/dy}]
? qqe;y/t+f1U
(3)Don’t feel shy speaking in front of English speakers. A good way is to take the advantage of popping into local banks and enquiring at customer services about how to apply for a bank account or any other service the bank can provide. Of course, there are other service agents where you can go. e^Y YR6s
(T2L5^TZ)pi/o
Believe me, I have been in the UK for just 3 weeks. Maybe I should put “continued” in the title. ::z2'J'`"D|Xf'h!C X
Anyway, I would like to post a few feasible methods in EWC, if I really figure out some in future. O q\ W8_
PS: All the methods provided are based on my experiences. There are probably some uncertain factors in those. Just want to share those with you guys and attempt to look after a heuristic approach. Really hope you can give me some feedback on these. Thank you. ::83[/color][/size][/b]K%U8FX z!B` O

As for me, I really don't have a good idea to practise oral English.4M `e4^ b y
In my opinion, if you really wanna practise your oral English, F [%D]S+}6qi
you have to speak out to the native speakers.

ing if you feel the same way.[/b][/color] How to improve your oral English? That’s one of the most popular questions these days.
Well, I would take this opportunity to give some private suggestions to those who are R#^p"QGNQ+f
interested in speaking fluent English.
} TTn$A
First of all, we should know that in many cases, the words people use to speak in their
daily life are very different from those in articles or passages. You should not just act
blindly, according to what you have learned from books. My suggestion is "to hear before
you try to speak". So you have to spend much more time on listening to native English Z7C K7FQ"aW.f
speakers, as well as iminating the ways in which they express their ideas. #d*N(JD)Q
*Ak O,UG9d F }
"U{1d^ r vj#`
Then it’s quite necessary for you to grasp some patterns, as many as you can, such as ]X3[6L#P+dt;R.C M
useful phrases, or fixed short sentences, such as "I’m starving to death", "I’m not Ub ? Ag#I!k0R
myself", "Hey, what the heck is going on?" and something like that. You know, foreigners h(m5vK8W XQ*X H
often like to use some very short and fixed expressions. Lots of idioms and slangs are CeB r `
also widely used. They seldom choose long sentences, just like most Chinese do. 3]9_Xz7T X9n0B"e7{e
Next, I shall recommend you to take some excellent courses. One of them is "Modern
English", which has been presented on TV already. If you want to speak native English,
that’s quite an effective choice.T*yG g6L
'u)gVp'Sa K0f
M {9d X;m M2\ g.b
The last thing I want to point out is "Rome was not built in one day." It will surely m0~ mV Q
take you much time. You should practise, practise and practise, if you have a strong uG)I2A2_:lNC6cr
desire to freely communicate with English-speaking people.
OK. Just stop here. Hope you could learn something from the above. Good luck! I want to improve my oral english, but I am perplexed how to do it. thank you give me a good advice. [quote]原帖由 [i]CuteKitie[/i] 于 2006-5-23 20:45 发表
