提高英語實用技能的建議 Suggestions to Improve Practical English

Since we went to school, we have access to English all the time, because it is one of the necessary subjects. Before we attend college, we keep our attention on the grammar, but now college means the new stage and we should pay attention to practical English. Here are some suggestions.
打從我們上學起，我們就一直在接觸英語，因爲它是必學科目。在我們上大學之前，我們把注意力集中在語法上，但現在大學意味着新階段，我們應該注意實用英語。以下是一些建議。

First, it is important to speak out loudly. The purpose of learning English is to communicate with foreigners, so as to get to know more about the world. Grammar is not the only thing we care about. What we should do is to open our mouths and improve our ability to use spoken English. It begins with reading textbooks. When we listen to the tapes and repeat many times, then our accent can be corrected.
首先，重要的是要大聲說出來。學習英語的目的是與外國人溝通，從而更加了解這個世界。語法不是我們唯一需要關心的，我們應該做的是打開我們的嘴巴、提高我們使用英語口語的能力。一開始是閱讀課本，當我們聽磁帶時，重複很多次，這樣我們的口音就可以得到糾正。

Second, just talk to someone in English, such as your classmates or your friends. Though both of you will surely make many mistakes, if you insist, then in the long run, you will gain a lot. You start to have the courage to speak English. If there is an English corner, just join and take without hesitation. You will make great progress.    
其次，跟別人用英語講話，可以是你的同學或朋友。雖然你們肯定會犯很多錯誤，但如果你堅持，那麼從長遠來看，你會得到很多。你開始有了說英語的勇氣。如果有英語角，別猶豫了，加入吧。你會取得更大的進步。
