1、Study Every Day
2、Review Grammar as Your Watch or Read
3、Use Different Learning Methods
Don't just use one way to study English. Use a variety of methods which will help all the parts of your brain (multiple intelligences) help you. For example, if you are learning new vocabulary, create a word map, describe a picture, make a list and study that, type out the words five times. All of these methods together help to reinforce your learning.
不要只使用一种方法来学习英语。使用不同的方法能够使你大脑(多元智能)中不同的区域发挥作用。例如;如果您在学习新的词汇,可以画一张词语地图,或描绘出一幅图,列出一个清单并进行学习,将这些词语分五次敲出来。所有这些方法作用在一起可以帮助你加强学习。
4、Find Some Friends
There is nothing like having a few friends to study English together. You can practice the exercises together, have conversations together (in English!), and, as you study English together, help each other with exercises you may not understand.
没有什么比得上和几个朋友一起学习了。你们可以一起做练习,一起对话(用英语!)。当你们一起学习英语的时候,可以针对不懂的练习互相帮助。
5、ChooseTopics that Interest You
One of the most important things to do is to study English using topics that you like. This will help motivate you because you will also be learning about a topic you find interesting while you study English.
重要的一点就是,选择你喜欢的话题来学习英语。这样可以使你激发动力,因为你是一边学英语,一边学习你感兴趣的话题。
6、Warming-up to Study English
Just as there are exercises to help you warm up before you play some basketball or other sport, there are exercises which can help you warm up to study English.
就像在你打篮球或做其他运动之前,都会做一些暖身运动一样,你也可以通过一些练习来帮助你做一些学习英语的准备活动。
7、Activating Your Vocabulary
Activate your vocabulary by thinking or speaking briefly about the subject you are about to work on. For example, if you are going to study English on topics that focus on vacations, take a moment to think about your last vacation, what you did, what you enjoyed, etc. This simple exercise will help your brain warm-up to vocabulary that you are likely to encounter as you study English about this particular subject.
通过思考或简述即将开展的主题,可以激活你的词汇。例如,如果你要学习关于度假的英语话题,你可以花点时间想想上一次的假期、你都做了些什么、喜欢什么等等。在学习特定的英语主题时,这个简单的练习可以帮助你的大脑为学习词汇做好准备。
8、Activating Your Grammar
Activate your grammar by thinking about the general grammar area before you begin to study. For example, if you are going to study English grammar focusing on the past, stop to think about what you did last weekend, where you went, etc. to help activate what you already understand about using the past. As with activating vocabulary, you'll help your brain bring up what it knows about the past simple in an easy way before you begin to focus on studying English grammar in detail.
在开始学习之前,想一想通用的语法点来激活你的语法。例如,如果你是要学习英语语法中的过去时态,可以停下来想想上周你做了什么。通过激活语法,你可以以简单的方式使自己的大脑回想起关于一般过去时的知识。
9、Singing a Song
Before class begins, or before you sit down to study English sing a song in English to yourself. Make sure to use a song that you understand and know very well. This short and fun exercise will help your brain focus on the English language in a relaxing manner. It's important to be relaxed when you study English! Singing a song also helps activate the creative side of your brain which can help you come up with more examples as your practice conversation or do some creative writing.
10、Typing a Short Paragraph in English
If you going to study English at your desk, begin by typing a simple paragraph in English. You can type about your day, your hobbies, your friends, etc. Anything will do. Typing helps activate the kinetic part of your brain that helps improve learning through physical activity. I also recommend typing while you study your English grammar. This will help solidify your knowledge with movement.
如果你是坐在桌前学习英语,从打出一段简单的英文开始吧。你可以写写你的一天都干了什么,你的爱好,你的朋友等等。打字可以帮助激活你大脑中运动的部分,这有助于从生理行为方面促进学习。我还推荐学语法的时候打字,这可以通过动作固化你的记忆。
11、A Thousand Words ...
As the saying goes in English: A picture is worth a thousand words. Help activate the creative side of your brain by trying to describe a photo or other image. You can combine use this also to activate your vocabulary by choosing a picture that has something to do with the subject you are going to study in English.
英语里有句话说的好:一幅画顶一千个词。试着描绘一张照片或者其他的图片,这样有助于激活你大脑中创造性的一面。你还可以选择一张与你即将学习的主题相关的图片,结合这个方法激活你的词汇。
12、语法、听力、阅读和写作都要涉及到
Next, make sure to study a number of areas rather than focusing on just one topic. Study a little grammar, then do a short listening exercise, then perhaps read an article on the same topic. Don't do too much, twenty minutes on three different types of exercises is plenty!
其次,你要确保涉足多个版块,而不是只集中于一个版块。学点语法,然后做一些听力练习,再读一篇相同主题的文章。不用太多,在三个不同的板块花上20分钟就够了。
