One student has an interesting question, “Sometimes when I speak English I am not sure if I speak right. I am not sure if I use right grammar. What should I do if I want to learn grammar?”
有個學生提了一個有趣的問題:“有時當我說英語時,我不確定說的是否正確。我不確定是否使用了正確的語法。如果我想學好語法,我該做些什么呢?”
There are two kinds of students. Some students study English because they want to speak. Some students study English because they want to pass2 a test. For each kind it is different.
一般有兩種學生,有些學生學習英語是因為他們想學會說英語,有些學生學習英語是因為他們想通過考試。每一種學生的情況都不一樣。
First, if you need English for speaking, you dont have to study grammar a lot. When you learned your native3 language, you also learned it without studying grammar. You can learn English grammar naturally by using the language. The best way to learn grammar naturally is by reading a lot. Books are written in good grammar. When you read, you will learn grammar in the context4 of the whole sentence. You can do shadowing5 as well. When you do shadowing, you practice the good grammar. You do it naturally. You dont have to remember anything. You only copy6 sentences with correct grammar.
首先,如果你需要會說英語,就不必學很多語法。當你學習母語時,也不用學語法就會了。你可以通過使用英語語言而自然而然地學會英語語法。自然學習語法最好的方法就是多讀書。書里的語法都是對的,當你閱讀時,會在整個句子的上下文中學到語法。你也可以做影子練習,在做影子練習的時候,也在練習對的語法。你會自然學會,不需要努力記住任何東西,只用照抄語法正確的句子。
Second, if you are one of these students who study English for passing a test, you should study specifically7 for this test. You can take the versions8 of this test from the past years and work with them.
第二,如果你是一個為了通過考試而學習英語的學生,應該專門為這次考試而學習。你可以用該測試近幾年的真題來訓練。
Of course, your test will be a little different, but the structure9 is the same. The versions of the test from the past years are good training materials10. Then you should go to the test only when you can pass the training materials.
當然,你的這次測試會有點不同,但結(jié)構(gòu)是相同的。該測試近幾年的真題都是很好的訓練材料。那么,只有當你在訓練材料中的成績能夠通過時,才應該去參加這個考試。
