last week i went to peking university and
tsinghua university where i was invited to deliver lec(更多精彩内容请访问首页:WwW.91exam.org)tures on
“learning english with passion”. i found out that all those
students have something in common; they all have determinations to learn
english well . that’s thevery reason why i gave lectures at more than ten most
prestigious universities with an attempt to help students who want to conquer
english within the shortest time.
that’s true, having a good
command of english is vitally significant and profound. here i would like to
give all my friends and students some advice for the future learning in terms
of the experience i got from being a teacher for many language training schools
and being interpreter for government as well as embassies. being an interpreter
is by no means easy, which needs to have a good command of listening,
understanding or decoding and speaking. as soon as i hear the original voice
from the speaker, meanwhile, i will decode or understand it by dividing the
content of the voice into different segments, and use my short-term memory and
if possible ,note-taking, to deliver the interpretation in the process of
consecutive or simultaneous cases. now , i would like to tell you how to speak
good english.
3-d methods (dialogue, discussion and
debate) to improve your eloquence
dialogue
having authentic and polished oral english
is every learner’s dream, however, many of my students who spent a
lot of years, money and efforts to speak this language well but failed to be
able to communicate and speak out, the reason to which might be mainly
confidence and methods. i notice that many students do well in speaking when
conducting a prepared speech or presentation in class. but speaking english
fluently is not just about making presentations and giving speeches. it is
about expressing your ideas and insight on the most mundane of things around
you. i still remember when i first landed on the soil of beijing 5 years ago; i
could not communicate with my friends and even felt uneasy when going out with
them because i did not have the confidence to start a conversation with my
mandarin. it’s the same to the english learners who have no courage
to start a topic and face an awkward silence after the initial greeting was
given because they don’t know what to talk about and are not confident of
putting something across correctly, thus the conversation comes to end.
the ability to make dialogues is very
important in social communication. topics for casual conversation could include
the weather, education, music, current affairs; hobbies, travel, etc. do not
always ask foreigner “what is your name and how is your
job” when you want to find one to practice your english with. before
going to english corner, please read up on your area of interest and try
framing sentences expressing your opinions. talk about it with someone close to
you or someone’s english level is higher than yours, so you can check
for your language accuracy and fluency.you’d better to grasp
regularly used ways of small talk, and you will be able to initiate speaking
more confidently. if you can break this barrier and speak out with passion and
confidence, you can take your first step into the realm of english speaking and
become a public speaker in the future.
discussion and debate
i always enlighten my students that your
language ability and academic achievements are very imperative and important,
but the most important of all, it’s your eloquence to communicate in
the personal relationships. elite may not have eloquence, but an eloquent
person must be an elite. so the best way to drill your speaking abilities is to
discuss and debate. when i was a junior, i always raised discussions with my
classmate in my dorm, questions like “environmental protection,
cohabitation, 2014 olympics, postgraduate exams and so on. after everyone aired
his opinions, then we conducted debate to argue, to express ideas to convince
the other. and i gradually build up on my own repertoire of conversational
topics and start using them whenever i get a chance; subsequently i have good
command of english, and won a lot of awards in english speech contest and
debate. hence, it’s also effective for you, my beloved friends or
students, to have a try to use your language to discuss and debate.
other methods
many students do want to improve their
english by all means. it’s self-evident that all of us like taking
down notes when we are listening to the lectures given by teachers at school.
but it’s not a correct way to speak good language. can you learn
swimming by standing at the edge of the pool and taking down the words spoken
by the coach? you have to take the plunge, right? i seldom took notes when i
was given lessons, but i would memorize them with my mouth, my mind and my
ears. there is just one case i will take notes when i am doing my job as an
interpreter for the beijing municipal government and embassy. i still remember
when i was interpreting for the ambassador from the philippines, at which
moment she was delivering the speech about 10 minutes at the great wall
international conference. hadn’t i taken the notice from the speaker,
i don’t think i would have interpreted for her and won the applause
from the officials. it is the same with language. unless you use the language
everyday, you will never know how good you are at it. ask your friends who are
good at english to help. try to speak it as much as possible, and let them
interrupt you whenever you make mistakes and ask them to correct you. do not
feel embarrassed to make mistakes, for that is the only way you will learn.
enjoy losing face and enjoy making mistakes because that is the way how the
process of acquiring fluency a language occurs. everyone may have made a lot of
mistakes before getting a good grasp of mother tongue. the only difference now
is that you are conscious of the mistakes. so ,do not be afraid of making
mistakes.
attitude that counts the most
if you do want to learn something well, you
are supposed to have confidence and passion. i love playing piano , basketball
and learning as well as being a teacher, to which i devote my whole interest ,
confidence and passion no matter how many mistakes i will encounter, how
helpless , how hopeless and how far away for me to reach my final goal. i will
never stop fighting for the betterment and improvement of myself and to be an
all-grounded person equipped with knowledge and clear mindset. and that is why
i hope all of you can be confident and passionate for what you have done and
what you will be doing.
finally, i want to say to my students and
english lovers. try to be confident and passionate in the journey of study and
life, all you need is a will to learn and the initiative to begin. that done,
it is simply a matter of time and effort!
i will always back you up and be with you!
第二篇:英语演讲稿(英语学习方法)
让学习英语成为习惯,让英语伴随你的人生。
goodafternoon ,everybody! i’m very happy to stand here ,are you
happy? 各位老师,同学们,大家下午好,很高兴站在这里与大家分享我关于英语学习的心得体会,我演讲的题目是“让学习英语成为习惯,让英语伴随你的人生”。此时此刻,看到大家,我想起了上中学时的我,都是一样的看着那么多的英语单词,看着陌生的英语句子,一样的迷茫,痛苦。但是我相信大家一定能成功的走完这一段路,而且会走的更远!
have you been frustrated about english ?
have youbeensadbecause ofyourterriblegrades? have you made a decision to study
english ? if your answer is yes ,all right,congratulation on the first step
that you go. 你是不是曾经因为英语而沮丧?你是不是曾经为了很低的分数而伤心?你是不是曾经暗下决心说一定要好好学习英语?如果你的答案是肯定的,那么太好了,祝贺你已经成功的迈出了第一步!
yes or no ?no!!ok,very good, you must believe you are the best !“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,是很难坚持的。而兴趣不是与生俱来的,需要培养。现在大家想一下你身边有这样的同学吗? “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,算了,我没治了,不学了。”这都是缺乏信心的表现。还有的同学说“我爸妈都是农民没有学过英语,所以我没有学习英语的细胞.”大家不觉得这样推卸责任很可笑吗?我们才初学英语啊,为什么要用这样的借口和态度来对待
英语呢?你觉得这样对英语公平吗?它和我们的汉语一样不过只是一门语言,如果你一开始就报这样的态度,真的对不起,就算上帝也救不了你。如果一开始你抱这样的态度,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,只要你认真听取老师的意见,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。多找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。最后,一定会取得成。毕竟no pains, no gains。
说到这儿,大家又会抱怨,说没有学习英语的环境,其实不然,英语学习关键在于自己。大家不知道注意到了没有,现在生活中到处充满了英文,比如你们家电器上的on off 开关标志,就连语文课文中也有romatic,modern等词,再比如一些物品,食品的说明书上都有英文,难道这不是学习英语环境吗?大家要做一个有心人,随时做好学习英语的准备。养成学习英语的习惯。
几个同学到老外家里去玩,有一个同学想给外教倒茶水以表示尊敬,他说:“ may i make water for you ?”外教听了很不高兴,问他:“are you kidding ?” 这位同学非常严肃的回答:“no ,i am serious ,i can make water for you every time !”外教当场勃然大怒,把这位同学逐出家门,这位殷勤的同学后来才知道,make
water 是“上厕所”的意思。
learning how to learn is one of the hot
topics in education at the moment. in order to understand its importance, it is
vital to understand the following two points. first, we should not follow other
students’ way of learning. it is known to all that most students do
not learn in the same way, they have their own ways to study. we have heard
from other excellent students, they introduce their way of learning, while for
ourselves, we should adjust our methods according to theirs, but not follow
them in all. what’s more, many students do not take an interest in
the process of learning and expect that by simply going to a lecture, for
example, they will automatically study the subject matter. it is impossible for
them to learn better, they should work efficiently. if students master how to
learn, they will have a better chance to acquire knowledge.
从语言学的角度来讲,每种语言都有其特定存在的应用环境,假如把不恰当的语言应用在不恰当的环境,则会失去语言表达的原有意义。所以,把握好语言运用的环境也是在商务英语的学习过程中需要特别注意的。商务英语(businss english)作为用于特殊用途的英语的一个分支,具有其独特的社会、语言背景及内涵。商务英语的运用环境,突出表现在商务会议,谈判,专业培训,及商务交流等方面。要想正确使用商务英语,除了需要了解各种商务公文的写作方法,诸如:外贸关系声明、品质认定、迁移通知、申请代理业务、赋予代理权、建立分公司通知、启事、开账户、兑换货币、存款、取款、投保、佣金、代理、索赔、商品检验、询盘、报盘、还盘、价格、包装等。从另一方面来讲,因为商务英语涉及经济、管理、贸易以及相关的实。所以学习者不仅要学会各种工厂(plants, works, factories, mills)、公司(corporatios,companies,films,agencies)及其产品的表达,还应训练地掌握一些同服务单位(scrives units)打交道的专业用语。具有相当数量的专门术语商务英语包含有相当数量的专门术语,这些术语或者是人们在日常生活中常用的,如商品的品质(quality of goods),产地名称(name of origin),装运期(time of shipment);或者是词义与常义大相径庭的。如:“quotation”,日常用义为“引用,引用语”,而在商务英语中则作“开价,报价”之意。类似的还有:quote(开价)、duty(关税)、offer(报盘)、inquire(询盘)等等。因此,一些人虽具有较高的基础英语水平。但对商务英语却大有
“隔行如隔山”之感。正如王宗炎先生所就:“语言如此复杂,谁也不能完全了解它,说明它,但是,大家都有机会去观察、分析和探讨语言”。虽然问题复杂,但毕竟是客观存在的事物,其中也必然有它特定的规律性。只要不断地探索,深入地研究,终会使商务英语在学习与应用中发挥它独特的魅力。
商务英语用词明白易懂、正式规范、简短达意、语言平实。用词方面多使用常用词,以保证所用词语具有国际通用性,保证能为普通大众所理解,但又不能过于口语化,即商务英语所使用的语言不能过于非正式。有些商务文书( 如合同) 因为具有规范、约束力等公文性质,因此会使用一些很正式的词语,如使用prior
to、preceding或者previous to而不使用before;使用supplement而不使用add to等,但在介词方面,商务英语往往使用繁复的介词短语来代替简单的介词和连词,如:用in the nature of代替like。
使用大量的简写、缩写词汇。随着国际商务活动的发展,商务英语中大量的高频词汇被人们简化、缩写,极大地方便了商务英语信函中的使用。而且,这些简写、缩写的词汇还具有被人们广为接受且不容易产生歧义的优点。例如,国际贸易中常见的价格术语fob(free on board,离岸价)、cif(cost,insurance and freight,到岸价) 等,还有一些约定俗成的缩写如emp(european main ports,欧洲主要口岸)、swift(society
for worldwide interban
financialtelecommunications,环球同业银行金融电讯协会) 等。这些缩写的含义相对固定,很少用来表达复杂多变的意思,因此也就通俗易懂、一目了然了。使用大量的专业术语。由于商务英语信函是国际贸易活动中交流的主要工具,那么大量的专业术语的出现也就不可避免了。例如,bill of lading( 也称blading,提单)、letter of
credit (简称l / c,信用证)、documents against payment (简称d / p,付款交单) 等。对于不具备国际贸易实务方面基础知识的人来讲,这些专业术语无疑是学习上的一大障碍。
保留了一些较为陈旧的词汇。在商务英语信函中,会有一些日常英语中较少用到的词汇.这些词汇主要是由here /
there / where加上其他介词构成的,如here
from / there from / hereinafter / where after / where about等。这些词汇之所以被保留在了商务英语信函中,主要是因为在合同、协议、备忘录等具有一定法律约束力的文件中要使用它们,而这些文件也是商务英语信函的一个组成部分。
