Senior high school entrance examination English

There are no shortcuts and secrets to learning English. But experience tells us that there are always some skills and methods that can help us learn. The following methods are practical, not empty talk and theory. You can choose a few to try according to your own needs. Although more than 20 methods are listed, as long as you can use a few, it will be of great help to your study.

Five-part combination

Since English is a foreign language, we should use "eyes, heart, ears, hands and mouth" in our study, that is, eyes should see, brains should remember, hands should write, mouths should read and ears should listen.

Look it up in the dictionary yourself:

If you encounter words you don't know, or are vague and unsure, you must look them up in the dictionary yourself. After reading the dictionary, its influence is several times that of others. If you follow the method of "eyes, heart, hands and mouth", it would be better to write and read more words. Maybe you can remember words soon. Some people have repeatedly asked for the pronunciation and explanation of new words to be marked, thinking that it would save a lot of trouble without looking up the dictionary. As everyone knows, this laziness will not help you, but will harm yourself.

Pay attention to the words:

Learning English should be done all the time, anytime and anywhere, and we can't rely entirely on the text in the book, because there are many words that are not in the textbook. For example, the trademark on the goods, the description of the goods, the title of the newspaper, the translation of the film, the name of the organization and so on. You can learn with each passing day, adding a lot of words invisibly.

Soliloquize:

This is also a very practical English learning method. When we learn English for a while, or learn hundreds of words, it is natural that we often want to talk in English. Sometimes, just like a child learning a language, a phrase or several related words will occasionally pop out of his mouth to express a little meaning, which is a good phenomenon. However, because there are not enough words to express the complete meaning, since you have something to say in your stomach, don't hold it in your heart, or be afraid of being laughed at if you make a mistake. At this time, if you can't find anyone to practice the dialogue, you might as well talk to yourself, that is, you ask questions, answer what you want to express or what you may encounter, and practice again and again. It's easy to blurt out practiced sentences in the future. Or draw up some positive and negative answers. If all the answers are humorous or diplomatic, you can not only train your language, but also show your wit. In other words, you should be prepared for the expected situation, so as not to be "tongue-tied" and at a loss.

Wall reading:

I think the best way to get rid of the shortcomings of "I can't speak with my mouth" or "I can't speak fluently" is to read it face to face. This method is to choose a time every day and be sure to finish reading the learned text, even if it is ten minutes. Generally speaking, it is best to find a quiet place in the morning, face the wall and read aloud. The wall will reflect your voice back to your ears, so that every time you read it, your ears will listen and your mind will react once. This will not only enhance your memory, but also know how your pronunciation is. Reading aloud is because when we suddenly change from bass to treble, the vocal cords will be damaged, cracked or trembled, and even the sound will be distorted. If you read English louder than your voice, and then speak English in a tone after you get used to it, the vocal interval will make your voice sound effortless, so when you speak English, your voice will appear soft and your tongue will move smoothly in your mouth. Recording correction: of course, pay attention to pronunciation when speaking. If readers want to know their own pronunciation, the best way is to record their own voice, and then listen to it from the tape recorder, or invite others to listen together, so it is easy to find their own faults and shortcomings. After correcting or improving, record and listen again. When you feel satisfied or others feel good, then you will feel a little confident when you speak English.

Self-challenge:

This is actually a key to learning English well, which can be said to be a test of learning spirit and perseverance. For example, when I sleep at night, I suddenly think of a new word, but I completely forget it and can't remember how to spell it. There is no other way but to look it up in the dictionary. This is the beginning of the inner struggle. I thought I would get up and take out my dictionary to look it up, but another consciousness said, "Forget it, let's talk about it tomorrow." The answer to this result is: If you are determined to learn English well, please get up at all costs and look it up in the dictionary. It is comfortable to understand, and sweet to sleep. Because you beat yourself, the victory is yours.

Seize the opportunity:

Just practice every chance you get, because "practice makes perfect". When you see foreigners coming to China, you just learn a few pinyin words or phrases temporarily, and you should also look for opportunities to apply them. You often hear foreigners say thank you in a blunt tone. Good-bye. However, instead of laughing at their strange pronunciation, you admire their courage and studious spirit, while we in China do not. I had a chance to practice, but most people were ashamed. Remember: even if others laugh at your love of acting, you don't mind, because progress, courage and achievements are yours and others can't take them away.

Learn and use now:

We must never speak English: when I learn English well, I will practice speaking. You should use it while learning, so that you will make great progress.

Read aloud:

Beginners must find it difficult to read words with many syllables or words that are difficult to read around their mouths. This is the only way. Just like a monk chanting, it will be much easier to say it twenty times at a time. Don't think about grammar: don't try to make sentences and grammar before you speak English. Try to use simple sentences and say the meaning slowly. In fact, foreigners are not completely grammatical. I have heard them say "he doesn't know" more than once.

Two people learned that:

Learning English must be practiced frequently. In addition to the above methods, you can also find people with similar levels to practice with each other. Beginners of English can barely speak a few words when they meet foreigners. If they are native speakers of English, they can't speak a word of English. The reason is that they are afraid of making mistakes or the other party is embarrassed because they don't understand. In fact, if two people have a tacit understanding first, try to practice speaking in English. If you make a mistake, no one should laugh at anyone. Over time, both sides will make progress.

English diary:

You don't need a long speech, as long as you can write notes of 50 to 100 words every day, it's not bad. But when you write every day, it can't be the same. You must write some new words, new beginnings and new ideas every day. If the scope of keeping a diary is too small or something doesn't make sense, you can try to translate a few titles or squares from newspapers or magazines every day, which will also increase and expand your vocabulary. Reciting Idioms: There is an American professor who speaks Chinese fluently. What he admires most is that he often quotes idioms or proverbs from China in every lecture. He is really knowledgeable. It is the same for us to learn English. If we can learn some idioms or proverbs, remember them and blurt them out when we meet the right occasion or opportunity, it will also add a lot of atmosphere and make people sit up and take notice.

Heart dark translation:

This is a self-training method that is not noticed by people. No matter where you are, when you hear someone talking or giving a speech, you can take the opportunity to train your listening or translation skills. Watching movies and TV series: Watching foreign movies or TV series is a way to train your listening, but try not to watch subtitles. The English dialogues in some films are very interesting, and the words are very practical and close to real life. Look at pictures and read books: this method seems to be a child's toy, but it is not. If you can understand it, you can really learn something. Reading pictures here is reading English comic books. The words on the screen are not only simple, but also interesting, which can often impress the viewer and easily absorb memories. If readers want to learn English well, they can't just look at textbooks and think that there are many things that textbooks can't learn.

Ying Ying Dictionary:

Ordinary readers use English-Chinese dictionaries to consult dictionaries, because explanations in Chinese are easy to understand. However, after learning English to a considerable extent, it is not easy to make progress by always using English-Chinese dictionaries. If you use Ying Ying dictionary to look up new words, if you can understand them, your English will make great progress invisibly, which is of great help to English reading.

Participate in activities:

This refers to participating in English training programs sponsored by English clubs or other units, such as English troupes, English seminars, English conversation classes, etc. There are many people who learn English well here.

Foreign friends:

If you can make a foreign friend, of course, you will have more opportunities to practice English. Foreign friends are hard to find, and there may not be much time. If you teach her Chinese and he teaches you English, that's fair exchange and mutual help. If there is such an opportunity, you'd better not miss it.

Professional exercises:

If your time permits, or you are particularly interested in English, you can make more use of your spare time, or find a cram school or evening school specializing in teaching English, which will improve your English quickly and greatly.

Learning does not depend on people. Learning language and writing is not a matter of three days or two. It is "no pains, no gains". [Edit this paragraph] English grammar

English grammar is based on Germanic etymology. Although some scholars in18th century and19th century tried to apply Latin grammar to English, they failed. Compared with all other Indo-European languages, English is not so complicated and tortuous, and almost all the changes of yin and yang have been lost. Basically, apart from personal pronouns, English has lost the distinction between sex and case, and it emphasizes the relatively fixed order of words, which means that English is developing towards analytical language. The twists and turns that still exist in English are:

1, possessive: He is Fred's best friend. (-s)

2. The third person singular of the verb present tense: Alfredo's works. (-s)

3. Verb past tense: Fred worked. (-ed), but there are also irregular changes.

4. Present participle/continuous tense: Fred is working. (-ing) ([Note] If the last syllable of a verb is a closed syllable at the end of a consonant, the last consonant must be connected, such as running).

5. Past participle: The car was stolen. (-en)； Fred has talked to the police. (-ed), but there are also irregular changes.

6. Gerund: Work is good for the soul. (-ing)

7. Noun plural: Fred has two blue eyes. (-s) ([Note] If the suffix of a verb is s, sh, x, ch, you need to add -es, such as disks).

8. Adjective comparison: Fred Birica is clever. (-er) Add -er at the end of adjectives and more before polysyllables, such as "more difficult".

9. superlative adjective: Fred has the fastest car. Add -est at the end of (-est) adjectives and most before polysyllabic words, such as "the most difficult".

The basic word order of English is SVO, and it is basically impossible to change the word order at will, except in a few poems; On the other hand, sometimes English uses the word order of OSV. (note: s: subject [subject]; V: verb phrase [predicate]; O: object [object])

All the words in English can be divided into ten categories, and each category has its specific position and function in the sentence. The top ten parts of speech are:

1. Noun words: words that indicate the names of people or things.

Second, adjectives: words that express the characteristics of people or things.

Third, auxiliary words: words that modify verbs, adjectives and adverbs.

Substitution: words that replace nouns, adjectives and numerals.

Numerals: words indicating quantity and order.

Intransitive verb: a word that expresses action and state.

7. Crown word: used with nouns to explain the function of people or things.

8. Interlanguage: usually placed before nouns and pronouns, indicating the relationship between nouns and pronouns and other words.

Conjunctions: conjunctions and words, phrases and phrases, sentences and sentences.

Interjection: a word that expresses the speaker's feelings or tone.

I. Characteristics of English spelling and pronunciation

English is the most irregular language in spelling and pronunciation in the world. To some extent, English does not belong to the category of Pinyin-multiple letters or letter combinations can pronounce the same sound, and the same letter combination can pronounce multiple sounds. For example, the letter a can pronounce up to eight sounds; TH combines words with three sounds, such as Thai, Thyme, Times and other irregular /t/ sounds; The letter combination * * * has nine pronunciations, and the representative words of these nine pronunciations are: [① Pass (though) ② Thought (thoughts, concepts, thoughts, thoughts) ③ Pass, rough (③ Enough, rough; Uneven) ④ Thorough (thorough, complete, complete) ⑤ Cough (cough) ⑤ Go through (through, from beginning to end) ⑤ Hillbilly Cough (burp) ⑧ Plow the land (farm, frown) 9 Lake (lake) If there is a saying: If I plow through a severe cough and burp, I should cross the lake. In this sentence, the same letter combination Lough will have eight different pronunciations. These eight sounds are: ① [O] ② [∧ F] ③ [F] ④ [∧ P] ⑤ [Au] ⑤ [U] ⑥ [):] ⑧ [) k]

There are many silent letters, such as debt, comb, grouse, viscount, island, hour, prosecution and so on.

There are still many words whose spelling is completely chaotic and irregular, such as Czech, cello, cafe, One, mnemonic, Mao Mu, Vaughan, wooden house, debut, etc. I don't know how to pronounce them without phonetic symbols.

There is no fixed rule on which syllable English stress is. The vowels in unstressed syllables are often weakened, and the already confusing spelling becomes more confusing. What is even more frightening is that if the stress of a word or phrase is mispronounced or mispronounced, it means the change of part of speech and meaning, which leads to misunderstanding in meaning.

In addition to irregular spelling and stress, English words are also divided into strong reading and weak reading. On the other hand, we can't master the correct pronunciation from English spelling, which is why there are a lot of deaf-mute English in China, such as weak reading examples, can: /k? N/, weak reading can I go /a k? π o/,and:/? Nd/, weak reading you and me /ju n mi? /,he:/Hi? /,weak reading will he go? Let's go/wait.

) Goodman's summary: If you know the origin of English words, it will be of great help to the pronunciation of words. )

Because English stress and English spelling pronunciation have no rules to follow, and English is divided into strong reading and weak reading, it is impossible to master the correct pronunciation of English from written spelling. For the above reasons, English may lose its dominant position as a universal language in the future.

English sentence structure is relatively simple and natural, which accords with the natural order of logical thinking, that is, English word order is relatively natural. Different from German or Russian, the sentence structure of English is not too complicated, and the word order is not too reversed. The grammaticality and naturalness of English are consistent, unlike Russian and Latin, which divide all nouns into masculine, feminine and neuter according to grammaticality. In this way, modern English avoids the complicated case changes of nouns and adjectives, while German and Russian still retain these changes in large quantities. Therefore, the first feature of English is that its structure is relatively simple, so it is easier to understand and learn. The second feature of English is its rich vocabulary, so its expressive ability is particularly strong. It is estimated that English vocabulary includes more than one million words, ranking first among all languages in the world. There are many ways of word formation in English, so English constantly produces new words. Another phenomenon is that the meaning of English is constantly changing, and the original words can get new meanings, and this change of meaning is natural and effortless. For example, the original meaning of sophistication is "very experienced, sophisticated and sophisticated", and the basic meaning is "lost simplicity". The process from this basic meaning to "complexity and exquisiteness" is also natural and effortless. In this way, it can be used to modify weapons and get the new concept of "cutting-edge weapons". In this way, the original word "sophisticated" has become two words, because it has acquired a completely different new meaning. In addition, there are a large number of phrasal verbs in English, which are composed of verbs and adverbs. [5]

How to memorize English words quickly?

Memorize English words with images and homophonic memories, transform abstract letters into familiar images, and then combine these images for association. In this way, the original abstract words can be turned into vivid pictures, and you can remember them just like watching TV or movies. Not only can you remember quickly and firmly, but the process of remembering is full of fun, which will make you fall in love with memorizing words from now on!

After in-depth and systematic research, the method of word memory can be summarized as the simplest four steps:

Step 1: Find words (including complete words, similar words and root affixes);

Step 2: Find Pinyin (including finding full spelling, approximate Pinyin and pinyin initials);

Step 3: find the code (find the letter code);

Step 4: Find harmonics (including whole harmonics and partial harmonics).
