When you were in high school, did you listen to English every day and think about Chinese or just English?
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 is difficult, and I am afraid that it will be inaccurate if it is simple.

You know English in life is very simple, but where is it as complicated as in books? The expression of sentences is more complicated than everyday spoken language. It doesn't look like it

"Where do you live?"

The dialogue "I live in the center of Tiananmen Square" is so simple.

3. It's easy to open the first book of the new concept and see where it will be. Don't read books, just listen to the recordings, especially the recordings of those conversations. Beating sentence by sentence is equivalent to talking to others. Do you think you can answer correctly? Even if your answer is different from that in the book, do you think you can answer it smoothly?

Can you apply these simple conversations to your life after each class? You don't need English in your life. The biggest gain from memorizing all four books is to pass the exam smoothly, nothing else! No one will listen to you recite the text endlessly. Words belong to others, not to yourself!

5. The first book of new concepts, slow speech. In this case, can you reflect its Chinese explanation when listening to English? Can you listen to the recording and act or imagine the meaning directly? Is it still the process of "listening to English-translating into Chinese-trying to answer Chinese and then translating into English" in your mind?

6. After learning each article in the first volume of the new concept, can you write one by yourself according to the original text?

7. Without the basic accumulation of the first volume, it is strange to learn books 2, 3 and 4 well. Building a house requires laying a foundation. Without a foundation, no matter how beautiful the house above is, fans will blow it down. The same is true of English. If you want to learn, study hard. Don't learn "tofu dregs" English.

8. If the simple first volume is useless, why doesn't the author write the second volume directly, but must make up a volume of 1-4? Why not just 2-4 volumes?

9. Do you know why many people have no perseverance? Laziness is only one of the reasons, and more is that most people aim too high and always want to achieve it overnight! Basic, simple and disdainful, complex and difficult to learn, so I began to be confused and at a loss. If I really can't do it, I'll change the textbook or start learning from the first lesson. Simple, happy! That speed, 20 classes a day is no problem, so what? Everything is in vain. Not if it's difficult. This is a vicious circle. All that remains is complaining!

10, books are dead, brains are their own, and methods are flexible!

The fluency of English recitation is not as fast as possible. Fast speed can only show that you are very familiar with it, but you must have a strong sense of pronunciation and language.

Come on, the advantage is that when you listen to the recording again, you won't be nervous and don't understand. In this way, you can achieve the effect of synchronous response, which is just a way to cultivate a sense of language or training response.

The same sentence: "How can I repay you for all your help?" The tone of the tape is different from that in the movie. No matter how fast you recite, you may not be able to react. So English recitation should start with imitation. Don't feel embarrassed to imitate the intonation in the tape, but express it in your own way, then you will never feel the purity of your pronunciation.

The pronunciation of tape can only be said to be "standard English pronunciation", which does not exist in life. Just like "standard Mandarin", Beijingers can't speak Mandarin, but only local dialects. Just close to Mandarin. For example, the word "buddy" is usually pronounced as a child, and the pronunciation of "son" is weak. Sounds good! The requirement of standard Mandarin is to say "brother", "children" and "children", and the pronunciation of the three words must be full, which is "standard Mandarin". This is the truth of English tapes.

Therefore, the speed of following reading is the way to help you develop your sense of language, and the basis of speed reading is slowness.

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.

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, and 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 something wrong or write something wrong in English, don't take it seriously at all. If you can do it, why do you learn English? Isn't that enough to find leisure?

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.

1. After getting up in the morning, turn on the repeater and listen at the loudest voice until you leave home.

2, with a walkman, (now everyone else uses MP3) listen to it by bike on the way to work, 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.

Prepare a thin English story book, read it when you go to the toilet at work, or listen to the recording. 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!

4. During the lunch break, recite the text that has been memorized, put it away, and it is right or wrong to go home at night. Or sleep on the table and listen to tapes.

5. When chatting with colleagues, find a piece of waste paper, and pull sentences or words while chatting for unconscious memory. Once born, twice cooked.

6, put a dictionary in the unit, when nothing happens, just turn over an article, just find a word, and look at the example from the beginning. If there is a good one, extract it. I use the Oxford Advanced English-Chinese Learning Dictionary.

7. Repeat the work at work on the way home from work.

8. Listen to tapes at night and learn new content.

9. Find an English tape and sleep while listening. After the tape is played, the repeater automatically shuts down, saving electricity! I use "BBK" repeater, and the sound effect is very good!

10, I almost became the "sales ambassador" of New Concept English, repeater and FLTRP. I say hello to them every day, hahaha! Just kidding!

I also want to learn English well, but I'm afraid I can't hold on!

Hold on! It's easier said than done. This is accompanied by some depression and boredom. Read English books, listen to songs, watch DVDs, recite famous books, etc. People feel that the process of English learning is so colorful. However, these are just learning methods and forms. What we really have to face is how to keep a good attitude and "stick to" these methods and forms to achieve the expected goal. What should I do if I waver in the process of learning and can't persist?

As far as my personal experience in learning English is concerned, I have given up many times and started again many times. Give up again and start over. At first, I threw myself into the battle of English learning with a positive attitude. I hope I can learn two or three lessons in one day. I will finish learning a book in a month. However, when you learn to learn, you feel that you have to "persist" and want to give up. At first, I always couldn't find a solution, so I was depressed. It was later found that it was not difficult to solve such a problem.

1, learn to transfer the spirit.

In the process of learning English, when you feel bored and lack confidence, don't force yourself to continue learning, because you have begun to feel anti-English ideologically. At this time, continuing can only be "counterproductive." Please put what you have learned in first. The best place to go is to visit bookstores and see those brand-new original novels in foreign language bookstores. Don't read their contents first, just read the cover of the book. These original books are much better than the covers of domestic books. These colorful covers (especially those of famous books) can strongly stimulate your brain, remind you of the contents of the book, and stimulate your interest in reading from the aesthetic point of view of appreciating pictures. At this time, you choose a book you like and read one or two paragraphs. You will find that your English is already very good, and the previous time has not been wasted.

Another reason is that when you study English, you are isolated. When you go to a foreign language bookstore, you will find there are many people and foreigners from China. At this time, you can feel that many people from China are working as hard as you. Maybe his or her English level is high, but maybe he or she is not as good as you. Makes you feel envious, jealous and gratified. Only in this way can you stimulate your interest in continuing your study. And those foreigners you see, wouldn't it be a pleasure if you could come forward and say a few words? Why not? Are you not good enough? Why not go home and study?

Besides, you can also listen to the original tapes and watch the original DVDs to adjust your mentality. Try not to think about the textbooks you are studying now. After all, it has great limitations in content, and only rich and colorful content can keep your studious attitude.

2. Learn from others.

Learn English with an open mind. When you can't hold on, you should read more books of those successful people and listen to their experiences. Yu, Li Yang, Du, etc. These successful people have experienced the same experience as you and me and hesitated between persistence and giving up. How did they get here? This is what we should learn. Whether you recognize these people or not, why they succeed is only because they will adjust their mentality and stick to it. When I can't hold on, I will find out the recording of the lecture of the professor "learning English in a down-to-earth manner", experience the hardships of an old man learning English, watch Li Yang's speech Crazy English, feel his enthusiasm, read Du Fu's English Success and learn from his rich experience. All these can adjust our mentality and encourage us to "persist".

Don't hang yourself on a tree.

Learning methods and textbooks have their limitations, which will vary from person to person. Other people's experience is summed up through many failures, which may not be practical for you. We should learn to "learn from others' strengths and make up for our own shortcomings" and sum it up in practice. Find a way that you can "stick to". A set of teaching materials does not necessarily need to be recited by the whole book. Everyone has his own personality, likes and dislikes. Maybe you don't like one kind, so don't bite the bullet and watch and listen. Even if others say yes, you have to measure yourself and find what you are interested in, so that you can stick to it. If a person who likes pop music insists on listening to Beijing opera, he might as well go to a mental hospital. So, don't hang yourself from a tree, touch whatever you want, a little in a book and only one sentence in a tape.

4. Understand learning resources.

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.
