Introduce new concept English

This textbook is a systematic course from scratch, with scientific difficulty and article arrangement. You can have a look at the detailed introduction and questions and answers I collected below.

New Concept English (Full Edition) Learning Method

First, the new concept chooses English sound or American sound?

A: The supporting tapes of "New Concept" purchased in the bookstore are in English and published by FLTRP. Generally speaking, the classic pronunciation we speak is this version. However, for the first book, even lesson, this version of the recording is not available. Only the recording of the first volume of the American version of "New Concept" was completed.

However, for those who study American English and like new concepts, it is best to listen to the American English version, which is published by Shanghai International Studies University. It is rare in the market, so you need to watch it patiently online.

The principle of American accent and British accent is to look at personal preferences, and there is no difference between good and bad. As long as you are learning English, you should be exposed to both American and British sounds when practicing listening, because in real life, you don't know whether the foreigners you meet are Europeans or Americans, and even Americans speak British English.

Then you should always follow one pronunciation, and don't mix English with American.

Second, should learning new concepts start with the first book or the second book? How to recite the text?

A: The first thing I want to tell you about the study of "new concepts" is that you must work hard, don't get bored, and stick to it. And learning from the first book is good for your future study. Relatively speaking, the first volume is relatively simple, and it is basically some daily dialogues or simple narratives. Although simple, if you can blurt it out and use it freely, your spoken English will be quite remarkable, which will provide a good and solid foundation for the study of Books 2, 3 and 4.

Talking about the new concept of learning:

1, don't read the testimony of those who recite volumes 2, 3 and 4. Most of them are memorized for exams. Meaningless! Even if I recite it, I always want to express it in the simplest sentence, because I can't remember it if it's difficult, and I'm afraid it's inaccurate if it's simple.

Reciting words refers to the full text of volumes two, three and four. Reciting is actually a way to enhance language ability and sense of language, and the effect is very good!

Recitation needs to be comprehensible, and you don't need to memorize every word. The purpose of learning English is to express your thoughts, whether speaking or writing, rather than simply reciting the text for others. Mechanical recitation can only make you lose confidence and fail faster. You can recite the text, so you know nothing except what you say. This is not to master English, but to cope with errands.

Understanding recitation means that after you understand the meaning of the text, you should learn to rewrite the events involved in the demonstration text into things related to yourself, so that you can become the first person, not a reader or a bystander. Only in this way can your memory be profound, and you can quickly accumulate language and express your thoughts.

The exercises at the end of the book must be done and rewritten into your own things, and it is also possible to make a virtual thing that you have never done. Only understandable memories are what you really have. Don't "memorize".

When you recite, you always write out what you want to recite, and then compare it with the original book and recite it by yourself. The fewer books you turn over, the better! The more tapes, the better. There is no other purpose, that is, to consolidate memory and exercise reading ability.

How to listen to the recording? How to dictate? What is the use of dictation?

Listen to tapes every day, once in the morning, once in the afternoon and once in the evening. Just like you listen to pop songs, if you listen more, your memory will be profound. Even if you don't recite it, you will listen more. When you say a sentence on the tape, you can bring the next sentence, which is also a good way to practice oral English.

Play the recording of the full text first and see how much you can understand. Then you have to listen word by word, that is, play the recording of a sentence, press the repeat key of the repeater and let it play again and again. Write whatever you hear. You can read at the beginning of your vocabulary, but gradually reduce the number of pages. Don't read books when you are high. I really can't hear you, but I can also read books.

Then, look up the phonetic symbols and notes of each word in the dictionary. Try to write a Chinese explanation yourself, and then compare it with the book. Not every word is good, as long as the meaning is right, because Chinese is too complicated, and one sentence can be expressed in many ways. There is no need to pursue perfection.

After writing and comparing with the original, read aloud after recording until the tone, pronunciation and recording are consistent. Then you continue to repeat the second sentence.

When a text is finished, be sure to listen to it again every 5-7 days. Listen and say.

Don't study too much every day. When you are most excited, don't continue, even if there is only the last sentence left in this lesson. Let's stop here and leave this passion for tomorrow. Make full use of the remaining time to look up the dictionary, understand and rewrite, and turn the essence into your own thoughts. Soon, if you don't listen to English every day, you will feel uncomfortable. At this time, English is no longer the burden of study, it has become an indispensable part of your life, and then your progress will become more and more obvious.

Dictation is to practice listening, writing and memory. A sentence consists of several words. When you write a sentence, you have to write many words. What you wrote is English. What you see naturally is English, so you can practice your reading ability. And in the process of writing, what you think is not the meaning of Chinese, but a specific thing or expression. I went to the theatre last week. When you wrote it, you thought of the scene of "I went to the theater last week", but you didn't think that "last week represented last week, I was serious, I was serious when I went, and it was a past tense of go to, not to mention that the theater was a theater. Only when I don't know this word, will I think it means this in Chinese when I look it up in the dictionary. Well, now that you know, next time, don't have the consciousness of English translation, but have the consciousness of imagination. When you see a theater, you can imagine it as the Chang 'an Grand Theater in Beijing, or Dahua Cinema or something. This is the so-called "image memory". After a long time, you will get rid of the bottleneck of China people's thinking.

If you still don't understand, just look at this step:

1. Listen to the text as a whole first. See how much you understand.

2. Use the repeater function to play sentence by sentence, listen and write one sentence. If you encounter a word that you can't, it will be empty first. Continue dictation. Dictate the whole text or several sentences you have drafted, and then combine the context to see if you can guess the words you can't guess.

3. Play back the sentences with empty words sentence by sentence and try to write them out. If not, open the book and have a look. Here, I don't advocate getting into a dead end. I hate myself for not being able to write a word for years. Because we really don't know some words, we will know them as long as we read the book, and we may encounter them in other texts next time, which is equivalent to reviewing, so don't be too rigid. In fact, after reading it this time, I may really not write it next time.

4. Words that you can't, or words that you think are very vague, look them up in the dictionary one by one and read your notes one by one.

5. Listen to these recordings every day. At least, you should write down what you heard and wrote yesterday before dictating new content today.

6. Read Chinese notes and write English, and contact Chinese-English interchange. Absolutely effective.

7. If you want to practice oral English, you should imitate reading aloud, preferably reciting.

8. Use Li Yang's Breath to train your sharp mouth. This is really useful. You will find that you won't feel fast after listening to any English.

The advantages of this method are:

Listening can make you concentrate, writing can practice spelling and memory, while dictation, you don't think about what it means in Chinese. This is the British way of thinking.

What you write depends on reading, which means practicing reading. After listening and writing more English, you will know that many sentence patterns are similar. Look up the grammar book, and after understanding it, your knowledge of natural grammar will be improved. The reading speed is also improved. Because you have been listening, you are in an English environment.

Read aloud until you can recite. These are all for training pronunciation, intonation and memory. Spoken English has naturally improved. One breath can make your mouth more fluent, so you won't think foreigners speak fast. Even if the new concept 2 is still slow English, how can we understand normal English without the accumulation of slow speed? In fact, the training foundation of one breath is also slow first, then fast, until the fastest. Try it if you don't believe me!

Reading Chinese and writing English is actually the opposite of reading English and thinking about Chinese. In this way, you will unconsciously start translating, which is also a way to train your English thinking. However, if you want to be a real translator, you can't just read New Concepts, but you also need to read some professional books. After all, the new concept is popular English.

For students who are eager to take the exam, you don't have to follow the above items completely. These are all ways to lay a good foundation. The new concept can do this, any textbook or dvd can do it.

Fourth, how much is appropriate to learn every day?

Don't recite too much every day, 5-6 sentences is enough, and you won't remember any more. The scientific saying is to recite 8 sentences a day. We'd better not be so standard and less. It is best to combine what you have learned with simple conversations, so that you can practice your oral English by asking and answering questions. Don't think about the progress, don't think, "Well, it will take me years to learn this?" When you have a feeling for English, the speed is very fast. Don't worry too much, guard against arrogance and rashness, just like a person taking a deep breath, he can run fast, but he can't run far. That's the truth.

5. What if I can't rewrite it?

Speaking of rewriting, don't worry about it. "New Concept" has exercises after each lesson, especially the first book. There are a lot of substitution words in the practice section. You don't even need to change the format of person and verb. Just change the book into a car. Of course, this is the most elementary rewriting, but you may think of things around you, such as mobile phones, gloves, mp3 players and so on. If you change it, it will be your language. Follow the exercises in the book first, and you will know how to rewrite it after a while.

Then learn to change the third person to yourself, that is, "his, her, their or people's names are all changed to" I ". When you meet the third person singular, there is an "S" after the verb, so you can remove the "S". For example, he loves a beautiful girl. " You can change it to: I love a beautiful girl. Where you meet someone, you change it to "him, her, me, them, us" and so on. Where are you going to take me? You should be: where are you going to take her? Or: Where are you going to take my dog? Everything else can be copied intact. In short, the book says to go to the theater, you go to the mall, the book says to buy a hat, you say to buy a coat. But when the first person becomes the third person, we should pay attention to the change of verbs. After this simple rewriting, you will have something to write in your mind. Look at what you have written every day, and you will have new ideas every day, so you should constantly supplement and revise them. Unconsciously, there was a qualitative mutation. Even if you make a mistake at first, you won't be afraid if you don't see it yourself. When your level improves, you will naturally know what is wrong. Don't we often make mistakes when we speak our mother tongue? So if you say or write wrong English, don't take it seriously. If you can do it, why do you learn English? Isn't that enough to find leisure?

6. I don't know if I should learn from the first book. You say I can't do it at all, I can order it, you say I can, I think I really can't!

Take out the first recording, listen to it without reading, and see if you can react. Can you understand Chinese without thinking? Let you say it. Can you say anything? If not, prove that your foundation is not very solid. Just use the first book to consolidate the foundation. Listen carefully, write carefully and understand carefully. Never read or listen to tapes again, so you will think you know everything, but once you close the book, you will feel that you don't know anything and have no bottom in your heart.

Seven, about the choice of teaching materials?

First of all, don't change textbooks frequently. It doesn't matter if there is no "new concept". Use whatever textbooks you have. When you have laid a good foundation and thoroughly understood a set of teaching materials, then change to other teaching materials. Even the textbooks of the same level have different emphases. Do you know why sometimes others are better than you? It is because of the same sentence that you only know one expression and don't know that there are other expressions, so you can't understand what others say, but what you learn in the textbook, they just don't say it, and you are anxious!

If you are determined to learn a new concept, you should study it to the end. You can easily read the original English without learning all four volumes.

Eight, my "new concept" is an old version, and now it is a new version of the big format. Should I replace it?

To tell the truth, if you have such a friend, you should never waste money on buying a new version.

New Concept English has indeed been revised now. There have been many changes compared with what you have. I'm not sure about the details. But you have to understand that it is best to add new content or delete some outdated content. Its overall level remains unchanged. You won't learn English badly because of the lack of different articles in these classes.

The most important thing is to leave the "new concept" and touch a wider English space. Newspapers, essays, poems, dramas, novels, websites, news, movies, songs and even advertisements are all resources that can be learned and utilized.

In fact, both students and working people. A common problem is that a textbook cannot be learned from beginning to end. I learned the first few lessons by heart and didn't read a word at the end. If you can't be in a spirit, you must catch me until I finish learning a set of textbooks. If I don't finish this set, I won't watch the second set. Otherwise, I think this is good for a while, that is good for a while, and finally the textbooks are all good, that is, you haven't studied them from beginning to end.

English is the accumulation of points, lines and surfaces. After you finish learning a set, you will read some English books such as New Concept and 900 Sentences. You will find that I can understand a lot. At that time, the speed increased by leaps and bounds, and then the third and fourth sets ... began to expand to "face".

I am an office worker. How can I allocate my time reasonably?

In terms of time, if you work from nine to five, you should make full use of your spare time. It takes you an hour to dictate five sentences every night, which I think should not be difficult to do. The next morning, after getting up, you should play the recording repeatedly to play these five sentences until you leave home. Walking on the road, sitting in the car, or riding a bike, you can nag these five sentences. In the first half, you can go to the toilet, go upstairs and downstairs, and practice repeatedly when you go out to do things.

During lunch break, you will write these five sentences silently, and then find out the dictionary to check right and wrong one by one. After work in the afternoon, you still nag these five sentences. If you are tired of nagging, try to rewrite it and change the word.

In the evening, you will dictate five new sentences, and then wake up the next day and listen to this 10 sentence, and the same is true on the way to work. At noon, you write this sentence 10 silently, try to turn it into a small conversation and practice after work. Come back at night to do rewriting exercises. Saturday and Sunday can be used to review the past and learn something new from beginning to end.

In fact, it is ineffective to spend too much time learning English every day, but it is precisely the piecemeal time that is the most effective. Let me give you an example: some people like singing, but not every song is learned to sing over and over again with the tapes at home. Often they walk in the street, listening with one ear in this shopping mall and the other ear in that shop, patchwork together, and find a fixed time to listen to it several times, and they will be fine. English is like this. Usually it's piecemeal listening, piecemeal nagging and piecemeal writing. I will make a phased summary every few days. Contact more, after a long time, naturally learned.

Let me introduce you to my previous study methods at work.

First, after getting up in the morning, turn on the repeater and listen with the loudest voice until you leave home.

Second, take a walkman, and listen to it by bike on the way to work (now everyone else uses MP3), but pay attention to traffic safety; Or take a paragraph of English written and learned the night before, recite it while walking, and then nag yourself. Every day I will repeat what I recited yesterday, and then recite a new one.

Third, prepare a thin English story book, read it when you go to the toilet at work, or listen to tapes. Anyway, in the toilet, the leader doesn't know. I use the bookworm series of FLTRP, and my favorite is Robinson Crusoe, Robinson Crusoe's life and strange surfing adventure for two reasons. First, this book is written in the first person, which is more suitable for learning how to introduce yourself. The second is to enhance self-confidence and see Robinson's indomitable fighting spirit. Learning English is nothing!

Fourth, understand the resources of learning.

Some people recite English like wolves at first, and have several classes a day. But after memorizing for a long time, I found that I couldn't say anything except the recited text, and my mind was empty. The recordings you can understand are limited to the texts you have learned, and listening to others is like a gobbledygook. As a result, self-confidence began to waver and began to doubt the teaching materials.

English, as a second language other than mother tongue, can't be mastered in a short time. It takes a long time to touch it. It is not as simple as reciting a few articles, but understanding a tape.

What you need to understand is memorizing articles. What is the purpose of listening to the tape? Reciting articles should be understandable, not "stupid". Memorizing is not the purpose, you should master the author's writing style and the way of thinking about using words to make sentences. If you are smart, you shouldn't recite the original word for word. Instead, we should use the original text as a template to create it. Rewrite the original text into your own business and make yourself the protagonist instead of being a bystander forever. Only in this way can you exercise your thinking and writing skills through imitation. So that when you want to express it, there are no words in your mind. Listening to tapes is to understand the characteristics of English pronunciation, correct your pronunciation and intonation, and train your reaction speed and your dialogue ability. However, many people use the wrong tape and regard it as an audio dictionary. When they find that a word can't be pronounced, they only listen to one. Don't even listen to tapes.

The most important thing in learning English is thinking. Only by thinking constantly can we have profound understanding and creation. English must be "enlightened" and "practiced". Only in this way can you always keep your interest in English learning, and you can stick to it and finally master English.

XI。 How to remember new concepts without forgetting them?

If you want to remember new concepts and all the texts, you should do this:

The first point: use the time every morning to recite the text recited the day before.

The second point: repeat the previous text after school, even if it is only a few words. For example, recite the first lesson today and the second lesson tomorrow. Recite lesson 65438 +0 and 2 on the third day, recite lesson 3 on the fourth day, and so on.

The third point: listen to the tape from beginning to end every day. Maybe you can't fully remember the text recited before. After a long time, these recordings will be deeply imprinted in your mind and will naturally be remembered. This requires a process. Recording is very important and must be listened to every day!

Fourth, don't recite with a strong purpose, such as improving your level in a short time and coping with exams. It seems that you have finished a task. In that case, you will be exhausted after a few classes. Always keep the "interest principle", "interest" is the best teacher!

Fifth point: Every word in "New Concept" is a mini-novel, and there is no such good essay to enjoy in the market. So we should understand recitation from the perspective of appreciation. This will not be boring, of course, the level is also advancing by leaps and bounds unconsciously.

Sixth point: If the text in the "new concept" is long, you should recite it in sections. The human brain can remember only "8" sentences a day at most. Let's shorten them and recite only "5" sentences to get familiar with them. Recite the rest the next day. The more I recite that day, the more I forget it. This is why many people recite quickly and forget quickly. Remember only the surface, not deep into the bone marrow.

Seventh: write the text by computer or by hand. A good brain is better than a bad pen.

Eighth: When reciting, when you feel that you are in the best condition, it seems that you can recite it immediately after reading the following text, you should force yourself to stop reciting. Save this passion for tomorrow. Only when you are ready can you deal with it more easily.

In fact, there is no need to lay the foundation for the book "New Concept". Our junior high school English books and senior high school English books are good materials to lay the foundation. I advise you not to underestimate them.

I have no problem reading. I passed CET-6, but I can't understand or speak English.

Most people are in this situation of "Chinese reading" English. That is to say, "deaf high flier"

In fact, it is very simple to solve these people's problems, because they have a good foundation in English and have only two things to do: listening and speaking.

If you really want to overcome your weakness, the first thing to do is to be willing to "put down your airs" and stop thinking about CET-4 and CET-6, that is, you are a "special eight" and can't tell foreigners that you haven't studied. How? From now on, don't read, don't read a word.

First, buy a book with phonetic symbols. Phonetic books on the market now are better. They all have vcd. You can watch the exercises and buy this one with vcd. A good phonetic teaching material will first have a representative word in phonetic notation, then there will be an example with this example, and then there will be a group of dialogues. It can not only teach you pronunciation, but also learn a set of dialogues through words and example sentences.

Pronunciation is not enough, listening is not enough, and speaking is not enough. Phonetic symbols are very basic and key.

Then you find a VOA Special English, or the tape of the first volume of "New Concept", listen and learn one sentence. Listen to each sentence 300 times, and after you read it 300 times, until you sound exactly like the tape. Don't ask how fast you learn, just ask that every sentence is exactly the same as the recording. Practice by yourself when you don't listen to the recording. Every sentence doesn't require you to read the pronunciation of a word fluently. You only need to read it 20 times at the slowest speed, and then gradually speed up and synchronize with the recording. You have to speed up and say it twice to reach the speed of recording once. This will cultivate your listening and language sense. Remember! You can't read at this time.

Finally, I tell you that the more mistakes you make in learning English, the closer you are to success, so don't be afraid of losing face and making a fool of yourself. If you dare not speak, just shut yourself in your room and turn up the volume of the tape recorder. At this time. Speak as loudly as possible. Thinking about locking the back door so that no one can come in. Practice this every day until you have written an article and can speak it fluently in synchronization with the recording (equivalent to reciting it thoroughly). If you don't lower the volume of the recording, it will still be so loud. When you synchronize your pronunciation with the recording, you should suddenly turn the volume of the recording to a minimum. Don't lower your voice at this time, keep talking so loudly until the end of this article. Try several times, it doesn't matter if you fail for the first time, even if you can keep talking loudly. Then slowly to the second sentence, the third sentence. Then, look at yourself in the mirror, treat you in the mirror as your rival who robbed your girlfriend, and open your mouth angrily, but don't call names (that's yourself), just speak English.

Find an original novel in a foreign language. Isn't your reading very good? Find out the words you can't learn at home, and then go out to places where there are many people, such as buses and shopping malls, and take books to read, so as to ensure that others envy your English and no one will think that you are learning English. You secretly look around out of the corner of your eye and enjoy yourself. Try a few more times, and you will have a high sense of accomplishment. Then you won't be nervous and afraid of jokes when you speak English.

This is a crooked way to enhance self-confidence, and it is very effective.

Thirteen, I just can't speak English. What should I do?

In fact, this question is really not personal. Many people, including many men, are particularly scared when they talk!

I have also read many articles by experts. When it comes to how to speak here, I always say something innocuous, such as don't be afraid to say the wrong thing, don't be shy, just try to overcome my fear. But the problem is, we all understand this truth, but how can we break through this psychological barrier and make ourselves really not afraid?

Sometimes I wonder if Li Yang, Yu and those academic English experts will be nervous when they talk to foreigners for the first time. Maybe at that time, they also said the donkey's mouth was wrong. Later, they learned enough "shameless" kung fu to really break through the difficulty of "speaking".

Said some nonsense. Let's talk about our actual situation.

I don't think everyone can practice oral English according to Li Yang's method. After all, many women are reserved. I think, including men, there are several kinds of fears that are afraid to say:

1. After all, English is not the mother tongue, and it is not as fluent and natural as we speak Chinese. So I always feel awkward when I say it, for fear that others will hear jokes about myself. I'm not skilled, and the idea of being afraid of jokes makes me nervous. The more so, the more afraid to say.

There are too few sentences in my mind and too many words I have learned, but I just can't organize myself to express my thoughts at will, which makes communication difficult. Because in communication, what you hear is passive, and you don't know what the other person will say, so you will be nervous, afraid that you won't say it or you won't understand something, resulting in tension, which will bring fear to people.

Maybe you have to face foreigners, although the streets are full of foreigners now, and there are TV movies everywhere. However, there is really a foreign living person standing in front of you and talking to you in English. You are really confused, because after all, all your listening exercises are standard recordings, not spoken English. There will be great differences in intonation, voice and tone.

When I have no foreign friends, I really want to talk to those foreigners who are shopping, but I dare not. I'm afraid people will ignore you and lose face, and I'm afraid I can't understand what others say. Because we are strangers to each other, let alone foreigners, China people come forward to say hello when they don't know each other in the street and look at you with strange eyes like thieves.

This is the truth I summed up myself, so I think since I can't force it, let it be. First of all, you should practice your spoken English well. Even if you pass CET-6, it doesn't mean that your English level is high. So you should read more oral books and watch more original movies. The more you live, the better. Collect a lot of daily conversations from movies and say them as skillfully as you say your own name, such as "What's your name? Thank you! " That's natural, and then you have to say to your family, I don't think you are ashamed to talk to your parents, are you? You say an English sentence, you just tell them your Chinese meaning. You can also practice your Chinese-English communication. Then you say the same thing to your best friend, because they won't laugh at you for being wrong. Everyone knows that speaking English well is a very good thing. In this way, if you say the same thing to different people, your fear will gradually decrease and your speech will be more natural and fluent. Since you can speak Chinese well with others, you can certainly speak English well.

Secondly, find your favorite original movie, write your lines, and then become an actor yourself. For example, on a Roman holiday, you can be a princess, and when your minister and the actor you meet by chance talk to you, you can be the princess's answer. Practice alone at home, and no one will laugh at you. And all kinds of movies have different English accents. You are talking to these international big-name stars. How wonderful! Do you still care about an ordinary foreigner on the street? "I am a master who talks to big-name stars every day!" As long as you are familiar with the environment, you won't be nervous when you speak. It's just a matter of proficiency.

Also, if you really meet foreigners, it is natural to be nervous at first, and foreigners know this. They will also slow down to communicate with you. If you are used to saying a few words, you won't be nervous. Then you tell him (her) that he (she) can seldom communicate with foreigners, so speaking English is bound to be a little nervous, and some of them can't even speak it. They can understand. If they don't understand, you can just speak your purest and most fluent Chinese, which will confuse them and be great!

Be sure to hold on! English is improving step by step. If you don't advance, you will retreat. Stick to it and the level will improve.

When practicing listening, listen to a tape first and listen again and again. If you really can't hear, don't force yourself too much. Mark it and listen to it on another tape. When it sounds the same as the last tape, go back and listen to the last tape. You will understand a lot of things you don't understand.

After really understanding a tape, you will have a great sense of accomplishment!
