第三篇:如何说好英语口语
如何说好英语口语
很多人会做英语题而且分数还不低,但是却无法和外国人交流。这就说明口语不过关,这样的人大有人在,而且不乏有英语教师。学英语的主要目的是和别人交流,因此会说一口流利的英语是很多人的梦想。那么在练习口语时需要掌握几点:
一 浓厚的兴趣。人们常说兴趣是最好的老师。如果对说英语没有兴趣,再多的努力也是白搭。如果有兴趣,就会付出百倍的辛苦,就越容易成功。
二 良好的学习环境。这次2012伦敦奥运会夺得金牌的徐莉佳接受采访时用的是英语,还有李娜,姚明他们都会说一口流利的英语。这源于他们常年在国外生活训练比赛,因此有一个好的语言环境。但学生接触真实英语交际情景的机会其实还是很局限的,这就使得他们的语言学习主要环境只是课堂.而在目前大部分英语课堂缺少学生创造使用语言的氛围和场合,口语练习也往往是教师控制的。所以我们可以创造环境,三五人在一起说,也可以多听英文歌曲多看英文对白的电影,无意中学会很多单词和句子。
三 坚持下来,持之以恒。口语这个不是一天两天就能练好的事,要以大量的阅读和听力做基础。在读和听的过程中,积累了词汇,掌握了句型,熟悉了用英语表达思想的方式,最重要的是培养了语感,不能三天打鱼两天晒网。
最后一定要消除心理障碍,大胆开口说。
第四篇:英语口语不要随意说
许多小伙伴们往往会有这么一个共同特点,就是喜欢把“Oh My God”、“Oh Shit”、“What the F”等美剧中经常出现的高频口语挂在嘴边,其实在这些词背后有着不少深层的文化隐喻,它们可不是张口就能用的。有很多时候当你为了显示自己滔滔不绝的口语时,实际上可能已经在老外眼里被打上“不礼貌”甚至“傻×”的标签了。。
Oh my God!——能不说就别说
大家会说英语了,难免时不时的来一句Oh my God,尤其是碰上什么让我们惊讶、惊喜的事情时。比如说,一年前我离开家时门口正在修路,一年后我回去,居然看到同样的人还在那里修路,我会情不自禁的自言自语:Oh my God!So slow!
自言自语还好,如果是对老外说那就要小心了,不是因为老外不喜欢我们说他慢,而是一部分老外不喜欢我们把他们信仰的God和那些完全不相干的事情联系起来,而且对他直呼其名。
在英语世界,很多老外是不相信上帝的,而且,许多老外看不惯那些相信上帝的人。因此,一些不相信上帝的老外会把Oh my God挂在嘴边,从而对上帝和相信他的人一并讽刺。
很多身在英语直接的中国人也不相信上帝,但是我想我应该配合那些信上帝的人捍卫其权利,所谓信仰自由。这就得从少用、慎用Oh my God做起。
不过少用、慎用的尺度很难把握,因为有时很难知悉周围老外谁信上帝,谁不信上帝,谁半信不信,所以,要避免冒犯别人,对Oh my God最好是能避免。顺便避用Oh my Jesus和Oh my Christ,因为都和上帝有关。
戒了Oh my God后,我们可以用Oh my Gosh和Oh my goodness作为替代,这样既能表达我们的意思,又避免了对上帝及其信仰者的冒犯。
Excuse me,sir!也不能放心用?
我在国内曾经一度认为用中文称呼别人而困惑,尤其是称呼年轻的女子,本来好端端的一个称谓小姐,偏偏被用来特指一部分人了。本来嘴就笨,加上客观上缺乏合适的词,造成了我的称谓障碍。我这一障碍似乎迁移到了英文上,我用英文称呼别人方面至今未能做到得心应口,有时还犯错。比如,前几天我还因为要找个地方,在喧闹的大街上冲着迎面来的陌生老外大声嚷道:Excuse me,mister!出口才反应过来,忙改口:Excuse me,sir!好在老外行色匆匆,可能根本没听见我的话,或者根本不懂英语,就和我插肩而过,根本没看我一眼。
我之所以改口,是因为我说出Excuse me,mister!的一瞬间,就感觉自己说的是Excuse me,Mr。。!听起来仿佛我知道那位先生的姓名,只是一时记不起来,奋力想说出但是还是没说出的感觉。我想这也许是Mr不能单独使用,不能单独用来称呼别人的原因。
我想重点说一下这个sir。这个词很简单,简单到在香港找个不知道阿sir的人都难。我在读初中的时候就知道Excuse me,sir!了。几十年过去了,还在这里钻牛角尖,实在是另有隐情。
在我的记忆中,我说Excuse me,sir!的效果大多数不理想。说不理想,是因为我隐约感到老外看我的眼神有点异样,我严重怀疑那眼光中藏着一丝轻蔑。说来你可能不信,偏偏是我忘带sir,只冲他们大喊一声Excuse me!的时候,反而觉得能使他们立刻止步并殷勤的问我:Can I help you?
至此,我对sir的效果已经抱有怀疑态度。有两个老外,使我的怀疑有了突破。这两人的身份均是推销员,谈话中sir不绝口,不顾及我脸上尴尬的表情。
这让我想起我在路上大喊:Excuse me,sir!的时候,对方会不冷不淡的原因是因为他们把我当推销员了?
老外现在更喜欢在称呼上选择简单的版本,比起Excuse me,sir!,很多老外愿意用Excuse me!
说道sir,我们自然回想到Yes sir!在真实的会话情景中,这句话也已经很少用了。老外现在用这句话时多带有讽刺、调侃、开玩笑之意。比如:五岁的小男孩不让爸爸看书了,爸爸会说Yes sir!,然后报之一笑。
不过,在很多情况下,比如商业、服务业及其他较为正式的场合,除非对方另有建议,通常还是要用正式称呼的。
Yes还是No?傻傻分不清楚
懂YES和NO,会说YES和NO,是在英语学习中一个不小的进步。
我曾经一度听不懂YES和NO。说听不懂,当然不是浑然不知,而是指一时听不懂,没有及时反映过来YES和NO所知的到底是肯定还是否定。在和老外说话是,也常常在该说YES的时候说NO,在该说NO的时候说YES。
比如我们很多时候会这样说错YES和NO:
老外说:You can‘t buy trust。按我们的逻辑就直接回应:Yes(是的,我不能)。知错后立即补救,用Yeah、Right、Exactly等词含糊带过,希望对方能理解我们只是一片真心要附和他,不会察觉我们犯的错误。
你可能要辩称,这Yeah也未必算错。这不是因为你宽容,而是因为你可能也有前科。但是我想说的是:在此情此景中,我们为什么不能信心十足的说个NO来表示附和呢?该说NO的时候不敢肯定的说NO,就是错!
有时“OK”并不“OK”,只是你不知道而已!
