快速提高英語口語的技巧

　　6.Retell a story in English

　　用英語復(fù)述故事

　　Take the challenge a step further by retelling a story. You retrace other people’s line of thoughts in your own words.

　　進(jìn)一步的挑戰(zhàn)就是復(fù)述故事。你用自己的話來復(fù)述其他人的想法。

　　I would start with a familiar story from your culture. Your translation needs to convey not only the meaning of words but all rhetorical and cultural nuances.

　　可以從一個熟悉的故事開始。你的翻譯不僅要傳達(dá)字面意思，而且要表達(dá)出修辭和文化的細(xì)微差別。

　　Alternatively, you can choose different words to retell a simple story in English. Start from the basics, reading something like a fairy tale or a fable. Either way will be beneficial to your English communication skills.

　　或者你可以選擇不同的詞用英語來復(fù)述一個簡單的故事。從基礎(chǔ)開始，讀類似于童話故事或者寓言故事的文本。無論哪一個都會對你的英語交流有所幫助。

　　7.Learning lessons

　　學(xué)習(xí)課程

　　Another option is to take a course .

　　還有一個選擇就是，選擇一門課程。

　　If you don't know how to pronounce correctly, you can find an appropriate course to help you develop your oral English.

　　自己學(xué)口語，往往不知道發(fā)音是否正確，也會不知道該學(xué)什么、練什么。選擇一門合適的課程，可以幫你快速提高口語。

　　8.Learn the natural flow of English

　　學(xué)習(xí)英語的流暢表達(dá)

　　Being able to say individual words correctly is great, but the secret of speaking fluently lies in the flow of sentences. Whenever you read a piece of poetry, listen to a melodic song or watch a hilarious sitcom, pay attention to the following:

　　能夠說出單個的英語單詞很棒，而流利的秘訣就在于句子的流暢。無論何時，當(dāng)你讀詩，聽歌或者看有趣的情景喜劇的時候，都要注意以下幾個方面：

　　Linking. Notice how native speakers link words together: joining two sounds, making a sound to disappear or changing a sound for a better flow.

　　連讀。要注意以英語為母語的.人是怎樣連讀單詞的：把兩個音連在一起從而使其中一個音消失，或者為了更加流暢的表達(dá)而改變一個音。

　　Contractions. Contractions are shortened forms of two words. For example:

　　縮寫�？s寫是兩個詞的縮寫形式。例如：

　　I + am = I’m

　　he + will = he’ll

　　they + have = they’ve

　　do + not = don’t

　　Stress. There are stressed syllables in a word and stressed words in a sentence.

　　重音。每個單詞里都有重音音節(jié)，每個句子里也都有重音單詞。

　　Rhythm. The rhythm is the overall result of stress, contractions and linking. It is the ups and downs, the musical feature of English.

　　節(jié)奏。節(jié)奏是重音、縮寫以及連讀的結(jié)果。那是聲音的高低起伏，是英語的音樂性特征。

　　9.Go to language cafes

　　去語言咖啡館

　　If public speaking terrifies you (and I know it does for many), you can opt for language cafes. Those cafes create a friendly and relaxing atmosphere for people who want to practice and exchange languages.

　　如果公開講話使你感到恐懼(我知道很多人都害怕)，你可以選擇去語言咖啡館。這些咖啡館為許多想要練習(xí)語言的人創(chuàng)造了友好且令人放松的環(huán)境。

　　10.Participate in public speaking events

　　參加公共演講活動

　　Big universities, theaters and culture societies organize events like open debates, spoken word readings and improvised storytelling gatherings. These are places where you can come and mingle with like-minded people and practice speaking English.

　　大的學(xué)校、影院、文化社團(tuán)都會組織大型活動，例如公開演講、口語閱讀以及即興的故事演講。這些就是你可以加入的活動，你可以與和你想法一樣的人一起練習(xí)英語。

　　提高口語的方法很多，關(guān)鍵在于堅持。上面這10個小技巧，大家可以根據(jù)需要來試試。
