提升英語水平的5大建議

yourself weekly: What do I want to learn this week?

Asking yourself this question every week will help you stop and think for a moment about what is most important to you. It is easy to focus only on the current unit, grammar exercise, etc. If you take a moment to stop and set a goal for yourself every week, you will notice the progress you are making and, in turn, become more inspired by how quickly you are learning English!

問問自己這周我想學到什麼，將有助於你停下來想一想，對自己來說，哪些事情最重要。僅僅關注目前學習的內容、完成現階段的語法練習，做到這些並不難。但是，如果你肯花點時間，停下來爲自己設定一個周目標，那麼，你一定能發現自己有所進步。反過來，這也會激勵你更加努力地學習！

ew important new information shortly before going to bed.

Research has shown that our brains process information that is fresh in our brains while we sleep. By shortly (this means very quickly - just a glance at what you are working on at the moment) going over some exercise, reading, etc. before you go to sleep, your brain will work away on this information while you sleep!

研究表明，睡眠時人腦對信息的處理較爲活躍。睡前簡要回顧（也就是說，回想一下此時你正在做什麼）做過的習題及閱讀的內容。在你入睡時，大腦會對這些信息進行加工！

e alone at home or doing exercises in your room, speaking English aloud.

Just as understanding the basics of tennis does not make you a great tennis player, understanding grammar rules does not mean you can automatically speak English well. You need to practice the act of speaking often. Speaking by yourself at home and reading the exercises you are doing will help connect your brain to your facial muscles and improve pronunciation and make your knowledge active.

正如掌握網球的基礎知識並不保證你會成爲一名偉大的網球運動員一樣，熟悉語法規則並不意味着能夠流暢地輸出英語。你需要經常練習。在家裏說英語、朗讀正在書寫的閱讀練習，將有助於大腦同面部肌肉相聯繫，提升發音水平、使你的知識更活躍。

five to ten minutes of listening at least four times a week.

If you decide that you going to work hard and listen for two hours, chances are that you will not do extra listening exercises any time soon. If, on the other hand, you start off slowly and listen often, it will be easier to develop the habit of listening to English on a regular basis.

如果你下定決心刻苦練習，每次練習兩個小時，那麼你在短時間內，很可能不會再做額外的聽力了。相反，如果你慢慢開始，加大練習的頻率，反而更容易養成定期聽聽力的習慣。

for situations in which you must speak / read / listen to English

This is probably the most important tip. You need to use English in a "real world" situation. Learning English in a classroom is important, but putting your English knowledge into practice in real situations will improve your fluency in speaking English. If you do not know of any "real life" situation, create new ones for yourself by using the Internet to listen to news, write English responses in forums, exchange emails in English with email pals, etc.

這條建議也許是本篇最重要的內容。學習者需要在“現實世界”的語境中使用英語。課堂學習英語固然重要，但是，將所學的知識運用到實際情況之中，能夠大大提升學習者英語口語的流利性。如果你缺少這種“現實生活”的語境，可以通過在互聯網收聽新聞、論壇上使用英語回覆、與筆友用英語發郵件聯繫等方式，爲自己創造新的語境。

正如第5條建議所言，大多數人選擇報班也是爲了尋找學習英語的環境。現在無論是同學還是朋友，都有各自的生活，很難成爲持久的學習夥伴；而線下的課程也因爲路途和時間的不可控性讓許多人畏而卻步……
