How to make yourself understand pure English (such as CCTV9), please help me formulate detailed steps,

Crazy English teaches you the top ten ways to understand English news

(1) Try to understand the news content in the language you are familiar with

Similarly, Before learning the English news of the day, first understand the main international or domestic news content of the day from the Chinese media. It will be much easier when listening to the English news. Of course, this is during the learning period. After the introductory stage, it will be easier. No need.

(2) Master the limited words of various types of news English

The world is so vast and there are so many events. Most people must think that it is necessary to master the relevant words of news English. There are probably thousands of single words, and you have to memorize an entire news lexicon before you can understand them. This idea seems very logical, but in fact there is a huge mistake. From political news to entertainment news, it is of course possible There are thousands of words, but related words only appear once every few months, or even every few years. This is the so-called rarely used vocabulary, such as: multilateral currency realignment or planned obsolescence. (Old waste), if you have to memorize even these, it would be really incredible.

Fortunately, more than 85% of the words we encounter in the news every day are what we call commonly used vocabulary (commonly used vocabulary) single words). In other words, as long as you can master these five or six hundred repeated words (that is, the vocabulary introduced in this book), you can understand more than 85% of the news. Other more specialized financial or scientific news For vocabulary, after you have mastered the main words, slowly increase the difficulty.

(3) When you encounter something you don’t understand, don’t think about it and continue listening

You There must be an experience. When listening to English news or English programs, when you encounter a word you don't know or a paragraph you don't understand clearly, you start to think about its meaning, which often results in not understanding the rest of the content clearly. The so-called "one mind" "Cannot be used twice." You must never think about the meaning of the previous sentence while listening. You must develop a habit, that is, don't stop and think when you encounter something you don't understand, and listen attentively.

If you don’t understand a certain paragraph, there are several possible reasons. Maybe there is a word you haven’t learned before, or there is a special sentence pattern. Maybe the anchor’s speed of broadcasting has accelerated temporarily, or you even got distracted and didn’t listen well. No matter the reason No matter what it is, if you continue to listen to it, it is still possible to understand the main content, because 90% of the time, if you miss a little bit, it will not be so critical that you cannot connect to the following meaning, but if your thinking is stuck on the previous sentence , the whole army will definitely be wiped out.

But what if the other 10% is really the key? If you have time, you can go online to find news about related content to see if there are any keywords or content that you are not familiar with. If so, Generally speaking, important news will not be reported once and then ignored. You can listen to other news broadcasts on the hour of the day, and maybe you can hear the same news. Maybe you will fully understand it after listening to it for the second time!

(4) Don’t pay too much attention to the names of people and places that are difficult to understand

In the early summer of 2000, there was a coup in Pei Ji, and martial law was declared not long after. The leader of the military had the title and name of "Fiji military" Commander Commodore Frank Bainimarama",

What should you do when you encounter such a situation? Just ignore it! To be honest, when I listen to the news on BBC or CNN, I often hear unfamiliar words The name of a person or place, such as a person from a certain country, maybe I have never heard of it. It is very likely that if you ask me after listening to the news, I will not be able to answer his name, but most of the time it does not affect understanding of the news content. I only need to know It's enough that he is the leader of a certain country's Congress. Another example is what happened in a small town in southern Russia that is difficult to pronounce. Knowing that he is a small town in southern Russia is enough for me to understand the news content. You can also try this method, don’t be bothered by complicated names. Of course, important news figures and place names

You still have to get familiar with it.

(5) Learn at the correct broadcasting speed

The news recorded on CDs by professional announcers are broadcasted at the normal speed, because this can To really learn news English, if you don’t understand it well, you will definitely make great progress by listening to it a few times. However, if you use some slow-down teaching materials, you will only be able to listen to the teaching materials forever, and the speed of real news will not be able to keep up.

(6) Lock in the general news content as soon as possible

I wonder if you have noticed that when listening to English news, anchors often say something like "And now in sports" before reporting a certain news ... (now entering sports news), or Turning to the Middle East... (turning to the Middle East...) or In U.S. election race news... (about U.S. election news...), etc., there is no certain format or statement , such a short sentence is to make the transition between different types of news more natural.

Of course, not every news will give you such a reminder. If not, you have to quickly lock in the content and direction. , if you watch TV news, you can try to understand what type of news it is from the picture; if it is broadcast, you should also judge it from the first sentence.

(7) Listen often and practice often

Maybe you think that such a simple truth goes without saying, but you will find that the simplest truth is also the most important.

(8) Although you have to "listen" to the news , correct "speaking" is also very important

The purpose of this book is to lay a solid foundation for listening to news in English and become a first-class "listener". However, no matter how good a Chinese listener is, I don’t want to be an English anchor, so why should I care about pronunciation? In fact, the truth is very simple. If you don’t pronounce a certain news word correctly, you may not understand it. For example, an album or record is called record. Recording is also called record, but the former is pronounced ﹝record﹞ and the latter is pronounced ﹝record﹞. If you think that this word has only one pronunciation, you may get confused.

Sometimes it is easy to pronounce the two different words. The pronunciation of single words is confused, for example: Philadelphia battered Chicago, winning 14 to 1. (Philadelphia defeated Chicago, winning 14 to 1.) If battered in this sentence is heard as batted, although the pronunciation is close, the meaning is wrong.

The best way to avoid this problem is to read the words on the CD attached to the book. If you spend a little time to make sure your pronunciation is correct, it will also help you understand news English. Helpful.

(9) Understand the process of learning news English and the speed of progress

Learning anything, especially language, is like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger until a certain point At this stage, the speed of learning will naturally accelerate. In the initial stage of learning News English, you may often feel that you don’t understand it, but if you continue to work hard, you will unconsciously find that you spend less energy, but you can understand more parts. .

Why is understanding this process one of the secrets? Because many people think they can’t learn it before they are “half way”, but in fact, as long as they have perseverance, they can definitely achieve very satisfying results.

(10) Have confidence in yourself

Some people must say that everyone knows this, but many people have no confidence or lack of confidence in themselves, and do not have confidence in themselves. The progress and results are greatly reduced. There is a saying in English: We are our own worst enemy. (The biggest enemy is oneself). Although learning news English is not difficult at all, if you think in your heart: "I will definitely not be able to learn it." Before I even start fighting, I have already been defeated by myself. It is more difficult to break through the mental obstacles I have set than the actual learning obstacles.
