I am a junior three student, and I will take the senior high school entrance examination next year. But my English is not good. What should I do?

If you want to learn English well, you must first cultivate your interest in English. "Interest is the best teacher", and interest is a great motivation to learn English. With interest, learning will get twice the result with half the effort. We all have this experience: if you like something, it is easy to stick to it; Things you don't like are hard to stick to. Interest is not innate and needs to be cultivated. Some students said, "I have a headache when I see English." How can I cultivate my interest in English? " Another classmate said, "Remember English words today and forget them tomorrow. I'm so stupid. Alas, I'm hopeless. " This is all a sign of lack of confidence. When I first started learning English, I didn't have the right learning methods, the confidence to win, the courage to overcome difficulties and the motivation to make progress. If I fail a little, I will surrender my gun to setbacks and bow to difficulties. You will find English a boring subject. After studying for a period of time, your enthusiasm for learning will gradually decrease, and naturally you will not get good grades. However, with the help of teachers, we should realize the necessity of learning English, treat English learning with a correct attitude and guide learning with scientific methods. At first, take part in some English activities, such as singing English songs, playing English games, reading English humorous articles and practicing oral dialogue. After a long time and more knowledge, I will be interested. Of course, you will have the motivation and desire to learn. Then, like farmers, we must be diligent, tireless, hardworking and sweaty, and we will certainly succeed and reap fruitful results. After all, no pains, no gains.

Practicing basic skills is a necessary condition for learning English well. Without a solid English foundation, it is impossible to continue learning, let alone achieve something. If you want to have solid basic skills, you must concentrate on listening carefully, do a good job in each class, improve classroom efficiency, and do the following "five things" step by step:

First, "the heart is here." In class, we should concentrate and never slack off. Our brains should always be in a positive state and our thinking should be active and open. We should follow the teacher, understand every word, grasp every link, understand every knowledge point, associate more and think more, in order to get the message.

Second, "hand to". When learning English, you must take class notes. Because people's memory is limited, people can't always remember everything. Memory itself is a process of constant struggle with forgetting. As the saying goes, "a good brain is not as good as a bad pen." What the teacher said may be remembered in class and forgotten later, so it is necessary to take notes. English knowledge is also accumulated bit by bit. Every word, phrase and sentence structure you learn is recorded in a notebook, even in the blank or between the lines of the book, which is very convenient for future review and consolidation.

Third, "hearing". In class, it is very necessary to listen carefully, not only to the teacher's explanation of knowledge, but also to the essentials of English pronunciation, such as pronunciation, intonation, stress, linking, loss of speech, sentence breaking, etc., so as to cultivate your pure and authentic spoken English. Hear and understand every knowledge point taught by the teacher, and form feedback in your mind to help you remember; Understand the teacher's questions, so as to answer them quickly, and compare the students' answers to the questions, so as to deepen the understanding of the questions, learn from others and make up for their own shortcomings.

Fourth, "eyes to". While listening carefully, we should also follow the teacher closely with our eyes and observe the teacher's movements, mouth shapes, expressions, blackboard writing, drawing, teaching aid display and so on. The combination of visual information and auditory information formed in the brain will make the impression more profound.

Fifth, "mouth to mouth". You can't learn a language well without opening your mouth. The biggest problem for students is that they don't make any noise when reading, so they are embarrassed to speak. Especially in the morning reading class, students only read with their eyes or silently, so there is only visual information, and there is no feedback of auditory information in their brains. Of course, the memory will not be too deep, and the oral muscles will not be exercised, so it is difficult to practice pure English. So make full use of the clear-headed time in the morning and read aloud; Answer the teacher's questions bravely in class, actively participate in the discussion and debate among students, and ask unclear questions in time after class. We should overcome shyness and not be ashamed to ask questions. Read more texts you have learned, be diligent and take great pains. You can read them with a tape recorder and try to imitate their pronunciation and intonation to correct their pronunciation. You should read them in cadence and fluently, and you'd better recite some classic articles. Seize every possible opportunity to practice oral English, for example, communicate with foreign teachers, participate in "English corner" activities, talk with classmates, tell English stories, sing English songs, perform English short plays and recite poems. Besides carefully reading the model essays in textbooks, we should also read more extracurricular books suitable for our middle school students, which can not only increase our knowledge, but also broaden our horizons and improve our reading level.

Learning English, vocabulary memory is essential, vocabulary is the basis of learning English well. Without vocabulary, there would be no sentences, let alone articles, so memorizing words is extremely important for us. There are two keys to remembering words:

First, perseverance: recite a certain amount of vocabulary every day and review it again in a few days, so that short-term memory can become long-term memory and be firmly mastered. It should be noted that once you start, you must stick to it, never give up halfway, and never fish for three days and dry your net for two days.

The second is a good memory method: there are many ways to remember words. There is no fixed learning method, but there are good learning methods. In my opinion, Zhang Sizhong's "centralized word recognition and classified memory" is a good method suitable for middle school students. Collect and classify 3500 words that middle school students should master, pass the word barrier first, then learn the textbook, and use and consolidate the usage in the textbook. There are many classification methods. Words with the same vowel or vowel combination and the same pronunciation are grouped together. Concentrate on memory according to word form, part of speech, synonyms and antonyms; Words or phrases with the same word formation methods, such as root, prefix, suffix, synthesis, transformation, derivation, etc., are listed together to concentrate on memory, which is more impressive and more obvious. So remember 40-80 words every day, persevere, associate more, think more and use more, and the vocabulary problem will be solved. In the process of learning, pay more attention to the usage of words and the collocation of phrases, and remember the word idioms and sentence patterns that the teacher said, which will not only help us solve problems, but also be handy in writing.

Memorizing words, understanding parts of speech and meanings, mastering their fixed collocations and idioms, and memorizing various usages of tenses and clauses are only half done. We still have to apply them to practice. Just like learning swimming and optical theory, not using it in water does not mean mastering this technology. There is no need to engage in sea tactics, but a certain amount of typical exercises are essential to consolidate the knowledge learned. Pay attention to basic exercises first, such as after-class exercises and unit synchronization exercises. These are all consolidation exercises of classroom knowledge, and we should not aim too high, just want to eat a fat man. Some people do some special exercises in grammar and exam questions after mastering the basic knowledge. In particular, students are encouraged to prepare a set of "wrong questions" and record the representative test questions or language points that they are prone to make mistakes at ordinary times, so as to check and fill in the gaps in the future and make the mastery of knowledge achieve twice the result with half the effort.

English is a language. You must either remember words, phrases, sentence patterns and grammar items or learn them well. The key lies in the use of language, so you must pay attention to the all-round development of listening, speaking, reading, writing and translation when learning English. English learning is first a process of memorization, and then a process of practice. In any case, learning English is essential. This is a gradual process, which accumulates over time. There is no shortcut, and there is no so-called "quick cure". You can't learn English well if you are eager for success and don't do practical things. Any success depends on your own efforts, you should study step by step, be diligent and earnest, have a correct attitude, and take setbacks and failures seriously. Failure is not terrible, what is terrible is losing confidence in yourself and never recovering. For the failure of the exam, calmly analyze and seriously think, as long as you are full of confidence in the victory, good at summing up experience and lessons, and constantly strive and pursue, the victory will definitely belong to you.

As we all know, it is very important for young people living in 2 1 century to master a foreign language, especially English. How to learn English well and improve English level is a puzzling problem for many middle school students at present. In fact, learning English well is not difficult. The key is to master good learning methods. Learning methods naturally vary from person to person and from time to time. In fact, the method itself does not matter whether it is good or bad. The key is whether it can be perfectly combined with individuals to improve learning efficiency. If there is a set of methods that can stimulate your interest in learning and improve your learning efficiency, what you have to do in the future is to stick to it. Perhaps we have all seen similar situations: some people bury themselves in books all day and study hard, but their grades are still not satisfactory; Others know how to "relax" and learn it easily, which is also among the best. If you are the latter, I believe you have found a good learning method and your best combination, as long as you persevere; The former has already possessed certain perseverance, and the key lies in improving their learning efficiency.

Another key to learning English well is to improve interest in English learning. Einstein said, "Interest is the best teacher". Interest is the driving force of learning. So how to generate interest in learning? Of course, we should learn English, understand English, and apply what we have learned to our daily life. The more you know, the more interested you will be. First of all, you must have enough vocabulary and solid grammar knowledge.

I. Vocabulary

Vocabulary is the key to learning English well. Without enough vocabulary, it is impossible to listen, speak, read and write.

The size of vocabulary determines a student's English level. Therefore, in the junior high school stage, in addition to mastering more than 800 words required by the syllabus, we must expand about 500 words. In the process of learning vocabulary, we should master the spelling rules of words and remember them according to the rules; At the same time, we should remember and expand words according to the knowledge of word formation. Understanding and remembering words through context is also a good way to learn words. At present, there are fewer and fewer Chinese-English translation questions in the senior high school entrance examination, and instead, the proportion of vocabulary in the context is increasing. Entering the primary stage of learning English, mastering phonetic knowledge is the basis of learning English words well, and correctly reading English phonemes is the premise of spelling phonetic symbols. Therefore, we must master 48 phonemes skillfully and be able to spell. Some students think that the written part of the senior high school entrance examination questions cancels the examination of pronunciation, so we should pay attention to training listening, discrimination and imitation. Listen carefully to the teacher's pronunciation and the recording on the tape in class and study hard in class. For those difficult words, phrases or sentences, we must take time to imitate them repeatedly after class until we can read them correctly and thoroughly. Thirdly, master the pronunciation rules skillfully and cultivate your ability to associate letters (or letter combinations) with pronunciation according to the pronunciation rules. Because mastering spelling rules is good for word memory. Therefore, we should always review and consolidate the "listening, reading and speaking" in the last lesson of each unit and the "pronunciation and spelling" in the appendix of the textbook, if we don't pay attention to these contents. I think this is a great pity. If anyone can master it skillfully, it will become a good helper for you to remember words.

Speaking of memorizing words, it is a common headache for students. In particular, the vocabulary of the new textbooks has expanded a lot, which is more difficult to remember. If you can't remember words, you can't learn English well. So it is very important to break through the difficulty of words. There are many ways to remember words.

1. Memorize words by pronunciation. In fact, when reading words, you should look at the phonetic symbols and master the pronunciation rules of letters and letter combinations. Classify and memorize the words that meet the rules. For example: ① Memorize and master the pronunciation of vowels according to open syllables and closed syllables. Bag: cat, map, sad; Cake: name, plane, date; Desk: down, set, step, let; These: China, Japanese; Fight: big, boat, Ben, kill; Like: side, nice, kite, mine; Not: dog, hot, stop, get; Nose: pay attention to those, close, holes; Bus: nuts, cups, rubber, dust; Uses: huge, etc. (2) According to the letter combination memory, master the pronunciation of vowel letter combination and consonant letter combination, such as:

Bees, meet, see, keep, etc. , ee letter combination reading/I:/; Chairs,

Ch letter combination reading /tS/.

2. Syllable memory. No matter how long a word is, if you recite it from the first letter to the last letter, it is

It's hard to remember. For example, information, *** 1 1 letter, can be broken down into eight parts.

Block ",syllable memory is easy. information exchange

3. Combination of sound, form and meaning

Memorizing words combines its sound, shape and meaning, making the memory firm and fast. Read it correctly

Sound, look at its shape, understand its meaning, especially polysemy, and improve the resolution when remembering.

For example, orange is a multi-category word, which means that "orange" is a countable noun; Being an adjective means

"orange"; As an uncountable noun, it means "orange juice" But the pronunciation is only one /'orindJ/, and the word form is the same. It is much easier to consciously distinguish between memories.

4. Associative memory of memory words. It mainly includes the following forms:

① Contrast associative memory:

Synonym: research/learning, big/big/great, see//

Look/see, listen/listen, good/good/good/

Listen, door/door, like/love/enjoy etc.

Antonyms: such as: big → small, expensive → cheap, hot.

(hot) → cold (cold), slow → fast/fast (fast), thin (thin)

→ (fat), front → back.

South → North, etc.

Homophones: Tai → Two (two), Right → Four (four), Right →

Write, press → buy, blue → blow.

Past tense), sea → see (see), son → sun (too

Yang) → Weather (Weather)

Comparison of similar word forms: want → wait, read → prepare.

), wall → walk, static → static,

Present → parents, etc. Put them together to compare memories.

At the same time, we can think of some words with different meanings. For example, associate cost with pay, take and spend, and compare the usage of these words with relative meaning, the same meaning or the same pronunciation.

② Classified associative memory: classify the learned words according to different categories, and classify the learned words reasonably.

A. classification by part of speech. Such as: noun driven, name …, verb is, have, drive …,

Adjective carefree, happy …, adverb carefree, happy …, preposition in,

On …, pronouns he, she, he, she … etc.

B. classification by use. Such as: clothes and coats, shirts, skirts, sweaters,

Shoes, cakes, rice, jiaozi, noodles, sports.

Football, basketball, running, sports, transportation, buses,

Cars, taxis, trains, planes, ships ..., January, February,

March, April, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,

Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and holidays. Like studying.

The word Christmas is associated with Children's Day and Women's Day.

Teachers' Day, Arbor Day, Mid-Autumn Festival

Festivals, National Day, New Year's Day, Spring

A series of festival nouns such as festivals.

③ Associative memory of word formation: We should use the associative memory of the same root word (word-form conversion) and pay attention to the part of speech. English list

There are many words with the characteristics of one word. For example, open can be used as both a verb and a verb.

Adjectives use other words with the same root, for example, the word care has the nature of a noun.

It also has the nature of a verb, and its cognates are are, are and are.

Inadvertently, we should focus on remembering these words. Another example: North →

In the north, noise → noisy → noisy, etc. Associative memory with compound words, such as

When I learn the word moonlight, I think it is a combination of the moon and light.

Yes; A classroom consists of classes and classrooms.

④ Associative memory: Take a word as the center and match different words to form a new phrase. There are many phenomena in this language. If you can use this rule often, you will firmly remember the phrases you have learned. For example:

1) phrases containing get are: get ready, get up, get on the bus, get along with people, get off, get dressed and go back; Come back, get on, get off, arrive, get off, get lost.

2) phrases containing go are: go swimming and continue; Go to school, sleep, go home, go out for a walk, go away, go down, go back, go on.

3) Phrases containing look are: Watch, 1ook after care; Care, look the same, look like, 1 look like, 1 look up, 1 look up (in dictionaries and reference books), 1 look up (doctor's examination), 1 look around (circle).

4) Phrases containing make are: make room for …, make a sentence with …, make a face or make a face with …, be made in …, make tea with …, make friends with …, make up for it, make a mistake, make sure, make noise.

5) phrases containing take are: take your time; Take your time and take medicine; Take medicine, walk, take medicine, exercise, and take turns; Replace, take care of; Take care of, take away, take out, take away; Take out, take off, and give a message to. ...

6) The phrases containing come are: come in, come down, come in, come over, come from, come back, come over (come over)/come over, come over, come over, come over, come out (flowers); Come out. Come with me. Come on, come on.

7) phrases with turn are: turn off, turn on, turn on the radio, etc. Turn on (a light, etc. Turn down (turn on the radio, etc. ), turn white, turn left.

8) phrases containing have: I have to have an idea, have a rest, have breakfast, have a look, have fun, have fun and have a drink.

In addition, the teacher plays reading tapes in class, not just listening, but writing them down quickly while listening, so that the ears, heart, hands and eyes can be used together. In short, for those newly learned words, we should remember them repeatedly through reading, writing and memorizing. Repeat it a certain number of times, it will become a long-term memory and will not be forgotten.

(5) Memorizing words depends on hard work and seizing scattered time to remember. When memorizing words, except

In addition to the above methods, memorizing words must be "five to one", and you must think well and not be distracted.

② Observation of eye-to-eye and eye-to-eye writing. (3) Read the words mouth to mouth. (4) to the ear-listen.

Your own pronunciation. Write this word several times on the table or paper by hand. Don't be lazy,

Be sure to draw and remember. Using all the organs, I believe I can remember more words.

Some students think memorizing words is really troublesome. Actually, it's no trouble at all. If you can stay awake all the time

Do this slowly, and after a long time, you will form a habit. Every time I meet a word in the future, I will think about it unconsciously.

A foreign language expert once said, "A thousand words can only be remembered if they appear at least twenty times in front of your eyes." Students, think about it. How many times do you always see the words you have learned? Now you may have found the reason why you can't remember the words, right

(6) It is also very important to learn English well, and do a good job in preview before class and review after class.

You should preview each lesson before you learn it. Preview can clear the obstacles in class in advance.

Through preview, just like "fire reconnaissance", you can find the weak links in your knowledge. Make up this knowledge quickly before class, so that you can understand the new knowledge smoothly. Some students are not good at listening,

One of the main reasons is that there is no preparation. Preview before class is the basis for students to learn new lessons well and achieve efficient learning results. If you are not prepared before class, you will have no confidence in the new class, and the class will become passive and difficult to digest, thus losing confidence in accepting all the new classes. On the other hand, if you are well prepared before class,

Not only can we clear the classroom obstacles in advance, cultivate self-study ability, but also improve our interest in learning new lessons and master the initiative in learning.

First, be familiar with and remember most new words. Correcting the pronunciation of words After understanding the basic meaning and part-of-speech usage of new words, you should listen to the audio tapes of the text in time. In general, you should listen to it for 2-3 times in a row.

Read it again and then read it out loud. The purpose is to correct the pronunciation of new words, imitate the pronunciation and intonation of reading texts, and improve the ability of speaking. Correcting the pronunciation of words in this way can also enhance the sense of language.

When you teach yourself, you often encounter problems? How did you handle it?

Of course. Every time you encounter this situation, you must first think carefully, analyze and knock from multiple angles. You know, it's really an indescribable pleasure if you struggle to figure out a difficult problem. If you are really confused, you can ask your teacher or classmates, and don't let go of any difficult problem easily.

Second, grammar.

Grammar is the basis of learning English well and a tool to master English. After you have mastered a certain vocabulary, it is very necessary to know some grammar knowledge. Choosing to fill in the blanks is an important problem in grammar examination.

It can examine nouns, verbs, pronouns, adjectives, adverbs, conjunctions, prepositions, numerals and so on through selection. Wide coverage.

There are only a handful of grammar knowledge in junior and middle schools. After repeated practice, why did you make mistakes in the end?

This phenomenon of repeated mistakes is common among students, that is, a topic has been missed before, and then it is still wrong or even the same mistake. I think the crux of the problem lies in.

Have a thorough understanding of the cause of the error or have not paid enough attention to it. You should carefully analyze and think about every question you do wrong: where is it wrong? Is it because of ignorance or carelessness? How to correct it? How can we avoid similar mistakes? Is there any other solution? After this reflection, record them in the "wrong question bank" We can basically deal with similar problems in the future.

The occurrence of absolute mistakes. In particular, those topics that are easily influenced by mindset should be handled in this way, otherwise it is easy to repeat the same mistakes.

Tense learning is the biggest headache for students in China, and it is a grammar project. Because China people only have the change of time in language expression, but have no concept of tense. In English, things expressed in language are in different times and need different tenses, and the key expression of tenses is in the predicate verbs of sentences. Sometimes it is easy to recite rules, but mistakes often appear in the use of sentences.

Accurately mastering the five basic tenses in junior high school is important to use them in sentences.

1. Master the general usage of conjunctions such as be, feel, look, get and turn.

2. Master the difference between continuous verbs and instantaneous verbs in usage.

This kind of verbs are mainly embodied in the past tense and the perfect tense.

1. In the present perfect tense, the progressive verb can be used with the prepositional phrase for or since to indicate a period of time, but the present perfect tense of the terminating verb cannot be used with a period of time. Attention should be paid to summarizing the ending verbs into.

Continuous verbs. The common conversion between ending verbs and progressive verbs is come→be here.

Start/start → start, borrow → keep, buy → own, die → die,

End/finish → end, get up → get up, go out → go out, fall down.

Fall asleep → fall asleep, leave → stay away, join → be/be a.

Members, put on → put on, catch a cold → catch a cold, etc.

3. Master the functions of will, shall, have and be in sentences. Summarize tenses and remember their structures.

4. Master the time-varying forms of behavioral verbs in sentences, such as speaking, writing and reading.

Third, communication.

The "Outline" points out that "students should master certain basic knowledge and basic language.

Skills, establish a preliminary sense of language, acquire a preliminary ability to use English, and conduct real communication.

Lay a good foundation. "The key to learning a language is to use it. Do students pay attention to their English and oral practice? We don't have a foreign language environment, but we should try our best to create it. After getting up every morning, you should read English for at least 5 minutes. Reading aloud can not only practice pronunciation and form a good sense of language, but also play an important role in improving listening. Besides, we should take every possible opportunity to say hello or talk about things with classmates, teachers or other people who know English. When you meet new words, say them in Chinese and English. At first, I may not be used to it, but it doesn't matter As long as I persist, there will be results. Former Soviet linguist Pauli? Professor Aristide can speak 15 foreign languages fluently. He said: "As soon as I learn the word 100, I will speak in this language immediately. A person who is afraid of making mistakes will never speak a foreign language. "It seems that if you want to practice oral English well, you really need the spirit of' having the cheek and wearing out your mouth'.

Fourth, reading.

1. How to cultivate reading ability?

Reading comprehension is difficult, and reading training can only be carried out on the basis of having enough vocabulary. It is an important sign to test your English learning level. Have you put much effort into reading? If you want to improve your reading level, you should not only study textbooks, but also consciously expand reading after class, improve reading speed and master reading skills. Get into the habit of reading English books after class. At the beginning, due to the limitation of vocabulary, you can read some simple articles or try to read some simple books without new words. As your vocabulary expands, so will your appetite. Read more original articles, not only broaden your horizons, but also gain a lot of knowledge. After a period of time, your vocabulary will be enriched and your understanding ability will be greatly improved. At first, we should deliberately read some short articles on popular science, history, geography, environmental protection and medical care.

It is very important to master some answering skills in reading comprehension.

1. Read through the full text, understand the overall framework, general idea and author's intention of the essay, and master the main information and central content of each paragraph. (For example, whether each paragraph has the same speaker or whether each paragraph has the same function, etc. ) seriously understand what the author wrote around him.

2. Be faithful to the original text, and never proceed subjectively and associate aimlessly.

3. Grasp the whole text and don't take it out of context.

4. Don't act rashly. There are always plausible answers in the options. This answer is particularly disturbing and easy.

Confuse candidates. If you make a hasty decision when you find a seemingly correct answer, you will often fall into the trap of designers?

Reading comprehension should not only understand the literal meaning of the article, but also understand the deep meaning of the article, including the author's attitude and intention. When doing reading comprehension questions, different methods are usually used for different types of questions. When solving reasoning problems, we need to pay attention to the following two points:

First: Inference should be based on the essence of things, not phenomena.

Second, we should infer from the author's ideas and the facts provided by the article itself, not the reader's own experience and views.
