口语作文和3分钟训练法:此法适用于强化训练.找好一个题目作一分钟的口语作文,同时将其录音.听录音,找出不足和错误,就此题目再作两分钟的的口语作文,同样录音,再听并找出不足与进步,继续作三分钟口语作文.这是高级口语训练,效果不俗.
g. retelling exercise: retell some articles or english stories in our own words.
复述练习:用自己的话口语复述我们所听的英语故事或文章.
h. if possible, we may read some english tongue twisters loudly and quickly with one or two cakes of candy in our mouth (just as the chinese cross-talk actors do.) to train our oral cavity muscle and tongues suitable for english pronunciation.
如果可能我们也可以大声且快速朗读英文绕口令(就象相声演员练嘴),还可以同时口中含块糖以加大强化训练的力度.这样来强我们的口腔肌肉迅速适应英文发音,使我们的口语相当流利,清晰,而且还有自信.例如:
☆a big black bug bit the back of a big black bear. the big black bear bit back the big black bug.
☆this fish has a thin fin; that fish has a fat fin;
this fish is a fish that has a thinner fin than that fish.
i. paying more attention to phrases and small words as one major shortcoming of chinese english (especially chinese oral english) is that chinese students tend to use big words in their oral language, but the idiomatic oral english is abundant with short, active and vivid phrases. and most of such phrases are made of small words.
特别注意短语(词组)和小词的运用,中国式的英语尤其是口语一个很大的缺点就是中国学生喜欢用大词,而真正地道的英语口语确是充满着短小,活泼,生动的短语,富有生气.而这些短语大部分有小词构成.
j. oral english has its own features, but it is closely combined with other aspects of english, for example, writing may make oral english precise and accurate.
口语随自有特色,但与英语的其它方面紧密相连.比如,经常练习写作,可是口语精密,准确.
2. listening comprehension:(听力)
a. we may improve our aural ability by speaking english in the native and idiomatic way. the pronunciation, intonation and sentence structure should not be in chinese style.
