Edit this paragraph of three volumes (training skills) to improve the classroom.

The key to mastering English (expanding skills) is to analyze the internal logical relationship between sentences, so that you can realize the refinement, aesthetics, practicality and imitation of sentence patterns, so as to use them organically in English writing; The teacher will further expand the practical application of explaining vocabulary, phrases and grammar. Students who have a vocabulary of about 3000 or have already completed the second book of New Concept English can learn the third book of New Concept English. After mastering it, it is equivalent to the level of college level 4.

Edit four volumes of this paragraph (fluent English) advanced class

Fluent English covers more than 30 subjects such as culture, economy, philosophy, art, sports, politics, aesthetics, psychology, sociology, education, ethics and astronomy. The language is exquisite and unique, and the sentence patterns are complex and changeable without losing simplicity and fluency. At the same time, many articles contain profound philosophical thoughts, aesthetic thoughts and unique ways of thinking in western culture, which makes this textbook a rare and necessary textbook for every learner who wants to truly master the essence of English language. The teacher will experience the mystery with you. After fully mastering it, it is the IELTS level.

Edit the new concept learning manual:

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.

Edit this pronunciation and study.

Seeing that the netizens in the forum are looking for American English recordings of new concepts may be related to the fact that most of the listening materials are American English (such as voa TOEFL). However, I recommend you to use the new concept recorded by Longman Company in Britain, for the simple reason that this kind of recording is designed at different speeds according to different English levels. From about 65,438+000 words per minute in the first volume to 65,438+020-65,438+040 words per minute in the second volume, and then to 65,438+050-65,438+060 words per minute in the third and fourth volumes, learners gradually become familiar with normal speech speed and design.

Edit the new concept English recitation method in this paragraph.

Method (1)

(1) Clear the purpose and concentrate.

Reciting a text or a sentence that must be mastered, the most taboo is to look around, be careless and be distracted. If it is a very simple text, it must be because of carelessness if you keep making mistakes after reciting it for a few days. As for the phenomenon of "remembering first and then forgetting", it is normal. At this time, don't give in to this temporary difficulty and retreat.

(2) Determine the task and find the trick.

It is not feasible to recite a short passage only a few times. You must read it thoroughly. It can be shorter and easier at first, and then make some adjustments. In addition, when reciting, we should pay attention to certain skills, be familiar with the content of the text, and understand the main idea of the text, so that we won't remember wrong or confused, and we can remember more and more.

(3) stick to the back and check in time.

The more time you spend reviewing and reciting, the better your memory will be. For example, recite the text or knowledge in the morning, recite it once before going to bed at night and getting up the next day, then review it properly every Saturday or Sunday, and recite it again one month later. Only in this way can we ensure that we will not forget for a long time.

(4) Strengthen dictation training.

As the saying goes, "It's better to read it a thousand times than to copy it by hand." Dictation can effectively consolidate the texts and knowledge that have been memorized, which is of great benefit to deepening memory. Because writing itself is a kind of figure and symbol, regular dictation can help us promote the development of the right brain. If we can practice dictation step by step and for a long time, it will certainly contribute to the quality and effect of recitation.

Method (2)

(1) Combination of repeated reading and copying

Simple repeated reading is ineffective. Learners should actively try to reproduce the article before memorizing it completely, and then read it when they can't remember it. It is easy to remember and lasts for a long time. Especially unfamiliar sentences, pay attention to repeat them as many times as possible. Because trying to reproduce is a more active intellectual activity than reading, and it is also a process of self-examination, which can make people pay more attention, grasp the key points and difficulties of memory content, and correct mistakes in memory in time.

(2) Give it a try

In the process of reciting, if there is a "jam", it is necessary to recall. Memory is a form of intentional and indirect reproduction, which requires great willpower, overcoming certain difficulties, looking for clues in many ways and thinking actively and flexibly. Therefore, you can't just get stuck and stop carrying it.

(3) study hard

Through understanding and digestion, the article has been incorporated into its own knowledge system, and sentences have become catchy through familiar reading and reciting. If you read them repeatedly, you can recite them fluently. In addition to individual and collective recitation, there is also antithesis, that is, two people recite face to face at the same time, because of the interference of the other party, which can exercise the profoundness and correctness of students' memory; Mention the back, that is, where to type, where to recite, where to mention and where to recite, which can exercise the accuracy of students' memory.

(4) dictation

This is also a form of reciting the internal language, which can be used by both brain and hand to deepen the memory of the article. An article is "eaten" paragraph by paragraph. Finally, follow the principle of "whole → part → whole" and recite the whole article in series according to the method of reciting paragraphs.

In addition, in order to keep the content of recitation in mind for a long time, so as to extract the application in practice in time, learners should also pay attention to two points: First, follow the forgetting law and arrange review reasonably. There should be daily review and weekly review. Constantly strengthen the memory trace to avoid its weakening or fading. Second, according to the influence of memory level on the forgetting process, pay attention to arranging excessive learning. Experiments show that the effect of excessive learning is better than moderate learning. The so-called moderate learning refers to the learning that stops just after reciting the materials. Excessive learning refers to continuing to learn after reciting the materials.

Edit this paragraph to understand the benefits of the new concept.

It is very helpful for language sense.

Learning "New Concept English" can improve English performance.

Absolutely helpful.

A true little story, many people who learn new concepts may have heard it. Senior high school students have a new concept in English learning, and the method is to recite every short article. I memorized the first two books in high school and the last two books in college. Because I know it by heart, I have a solid foundation and excellent oral English and grammar. Later, when studying in the United States, the professor thought it was cheating when he saw that his article was not as good as that written by an international student. So I called him in and asked him. He said he didn't cheat. The professor said how to prove it. He said that I could recite this article fluently. He recited article after article to the professor. Finally, the professor cried and lamented that I didn't recite an article in my own language, but let a China child recite it.

The new concept curriculum is suitable for learners to master English comprehensively. If you can recite it down-to-earth, I believe that many things happen. One of my teachers taught me a good way to recite, that is, after reading a sentence with my head down, I immediately raised my head and recited it. Don't look down at the next sentence and stop, then look up and back. Repeat in segments and remember quickly and accurately. Give it a try!

How to learn new concept English better

In the eyes of English learners all over the world, New Concept English can be described as a "classic" textbook. Nowadays, learning new concept English has become a common practice in China. So what's the difference between this "treasure book"? New Concept English is written by a famous English language education expert, Mr. L.G.Alexander. It is enduring because it can help learners improve their five qualities of listening, speaking, reading, writing and translation in a short time. Let me help you analyze the benefits and specific learning methods of learning new concept English from these aspects:

Part one, listen.

Everyone can regard New Concept English as a good listening textbook. The supporting tapes of New Concept English are English version and American version. You can choose to buy according to your actual needs. The method of practicing English listening through new concept English can refer to the following steps:

Step 1: Don't read. Dictate the whole text. If you can't hear some words, guess what this word should be. If you can't hear them, you won't be forced. With the increase of dictation, listening will be gradually enhanced. In the process of listening, we can also deepen our understanding of English pronunciation. And practice has proved that if you can understand it at once, the phenomenon of English translation into Chinese in your mind will disappear and your reading comprehension will be greatly improved.

Step 2: Compare the dictation with the original text, find out the mistakes, know where you are wrong, and how to avoid them in the future.

Step 3: Follow the text. Pay attention to the pronunciation and intonation of each word, try to imitate the tape and try to be close to it.

The second part, vocabulary.

The words learned in the new concept textbook are the most basic and commonly used words, so everyone must master them. For those who don't quite understand the meaning, it's best to look it up and master it with Ying Ying dictionary or double dictionary.

The third part, grammar and reading.

I suggest you do exercises after class, test synchronously, consolidate the learning content and test the learning effect. In particular, every lesson of new concepts has its own core grammar content, which requires students to master this grammar in every lesson. If individual students feel that their grammar and reading level are poor, in order to improve their English strength, it is best to choose some grammar textbooks and English graded reading materials equivalent to their own level for extracurricular study.

The fourth part, writing.

Many people don't know how to improve their writing ability by learning new concepts. Actually, there are laws to follow. Before you come into contact with a new text, don't read its English first, but write it down according to its Chinese translation and then translate it into English, and then compare it with the original text, so that once you compare it, you can find the weaknesses and problems in your writing, correct them in time, and improve it over time. Especially some beautiful essays in the third and fourth volumes provide you with quite good writing methods and classic essays.

The fifth part, reciting.

In the process of learning, reciting some classic texts will be very beneficial to English memory and understanding. Especially for English beginners, reciting texts can deepen their memory of English and form a fixed memory area in their minds, which is a process from quantitative change to qualitative change. Many classic sentence patterns, grammar and vocabulary can be effectively retained in the hearts of the reciter by reciting the text, so that students' reading, grammar and writing can be improved at the same time.
