英語家教具體方法（二）
E. Interpreting what you
hear---Changing Roles: Three people make a group: one speaks Chinese, one
speaks English acting as the foreigner, one acts as interpreter. Then change
roles. This is a good interpreting training method and is good for studying
from one another. In addition, it may improve the responding ability and speed
of students. The advanced stage of this method is simultaneous interpretation.
聽譯法-角色互換:三人一組,模擬翻譯實戰.一人將漢語,一人將英語,扮演老外,一人作翻譯.練習一段時間后互換角色.這是一種非常好的翻譯訓練方法,也是很好的相互學習,取長補短的方法.而且可大大提高反應速度和能力.此法的高級階段為同聲傳譯,我們可以在聽廣播或看電視或開會時,把所聽內容口譯英文.
F. Oral composition and 3-minute training method:
This method is suitable for intense training. Making an oral composition about
a certain topic for one minute the first time and record the composition on
tape at the same time. Then listen to the composition and find out the room for
improvement. Then make the same composition for two minutes for the second time
and also record it. And at last repeat the above-mentioned for three minutes.
口語作文和3分鐘訓練法:此法適用于強化訓練.找好一個題目作一分鐘的口語作文,同時將其錄音.聽錄音,找出不足和錯誤,就此題目再作兩分鐘的的口語作文,同樣錄音,再聽并找出不足與進步,繼續作三分鐘口語作文.這是高級口語訓練,效果不俗.
G. Retelling exercise: Retell some articles or English stories in our own words.
復述練習:用自己的話口語復述我們所聽的英語故事或文章.
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.
如果可能我們也可以大聲且快速朗讀英文繞口令(就象相聲演員練嘴),還可以同時口中含塊糖以加大強化訓練的力度.這樣來強我們的口腔肌肉迅速適應英文發音,使我們的口語相當流利,清晰,而且還有自信.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.
特別注意短語(詞組)和小詞的運用,中國式的英語尤其是口語一個很大的缺點就是中國學生喜歡用大詞,而真正地道的英語口語確是充滿著短小,活潑,生動的短語,富有生氣.而這些短語大部分有小詞構成.
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.
口語隨自有特色,但與英語的其它方面緊密相連.比如,經常練習寫作,可是口語精密,準確.
