Darwin said, "Knowledge about methods is the most important knowledge". Many experts and scholars have the same experience, that is, how to learn is more important than what to learn.

Middle school students' learning activities can be summarized as five links, namely, preview before class, attending class, reviewing after class, completing homework and arranging learning activities by themselves. Each of these five links reflects the study habits and methods of a middle school student.

We look at those excellent students, and their similarities in learning are as follows:

1, with a strong desire to study well and a spirit of hard work. Now, with the improvement of living standards in China, many middle school students have a tendency to covet comfort and pursue happiness. So some fallacies about learning methods also spread among them. For example, "you can pass the English exam in half a year." "The less you study, the better your grades" and so on. In fact, every successful student is very hard, and it is impossible to learn his lessons by being smart and improvising.

2. I will teach myself. Is to set your own goals, make your own plans, choose your own tasks, and supervise yourself. The success of learning is of course related to many external factors, such as family, teachers, classmates, society and so on. But students themselves are internal factors and play a major role. A good student must be the master of learning, not the slave of learning. He will choose promising goals for himself according to his hobbies and characteristics. He will make a practical plan for himself with reference to the teaching progress and his own environment. He knows what he should do today and what he should do tomorrow, instead of just going around and improvising. He is confident in himself and down-to-earth at the same time. I have to finish the task I set for myself, without the urging of teachers and parents.

3. Study hard and be diligent. It is impossible to learn well without reading. Students who can study, study hard and think while reading can understand the theory in the book. However, learning any knowledge must be linked with practice. Only know theory, can't solve problems, can't do experiments, can't write articles after learning writing theory, and can't communicate with foreigners after learning English grammar. That is not a real learning society. Being able to use is the highest level of learning. For example, for a student studying English, only when he has good listening, speaking, reading and writing skills can we think that he has learned English well. To truly reach the level of being able to use and skillfully use, we must persist in long-term uninterrupted training. Those who are lazy and afraid to practice can't learn any subjects well.

4. Summarize in time and be good at learning from others. Students who study well are not born to be excellent in all subjects. They have also experienced various setbacks and failures in the learning process of primary and secondary schools. But they didn't bow before setbacks. They sum up the problems in their learning methods in time, find out the shortcomings and the direction of progress after comparison, and move forward with greater enthusiasm. Another of their successful experiences is that they are good at learning from others and gain valuable wealth from successful experiences and failed lessons. Generally, a person can only study once in middle school. Many people don't know how to study until they graduate from high school, but it's a little late. The smart way is to learn something beneficial to yourself from the success and failure of others. If you are good at learning from others and adjust your direction in time, you can make less detours and make faster progress.

5, take seriously the five links of middle school learning. Preview before class should be conscious, try to understand what the teacher is going to say and find out what you are not clear about. If you have the conditions, you should also check the information yourself to overcome the difficulties. Actively participate in classroom activities, learn to grasp the key points in listening, and write down the key points and useful things in your notes. Review after class should be timely, adopt feedback ideas, and be good at summarizing and concentrating. Homework should not only be completed, but also summarize the rules of examining and solving problems from the completed homework. If time permits, you can try to solve the same problem or translate the same sentence in different ways. The last link is the supplementary content compiled by myself. Supplementary content should not be limited to doing extracurricular exercises. For middle school students, reading all kinds of books after class, attending lectures, inquiring online and visiting outstanding people from all walks of life are all beneficial supplements to in-class learning.

Second, the correct way to learn English in middle school

1, stick to it and dare to practice. The purpose of learning English is not to study the laws of English language, but mainly to communicate with foreigners, that is, to be able to listen, speak, read and translate English. This should be said to be a skill. However, the mastery of skills can not be achieved by theoretical explanation alone, but by repeated and long-term training in practice. Therefore, students who are interested in learning English well should pick up the article and read it, turn on the tape recorder and open their mouths. More exposure to English will deepen your understanding of English, and you can sum up good methods that suit you. For China people, it is not easy to practice the ability to speak well, and it requires courage to be afraid of mistakes and jokes. Chinese and English are very different, and their pronunciation methods are also very different. There will be many mistakes when you start practicing oral English. At this time, must be quite brick? Without the "nonsense" at the beginning, there is no beautiful spoken English.

2. Pay special attention to pronunciation and intonation in the primary stage. Because of different pronunciation habits, it is not easy for people in China to speak standard English. Just as foreigners learn Chinese, it is difficult for them to speak standard Mandarin. However, in order to meet the needs of communication, we must make up our minds to master authentic English pronunciation and intonation. Middle school students are young, which is the best time to learn pronunciation and intonation. During this period, they have laid a good foundation for pronunciation and will benefit for life. Moreover, English in middle school is not good, and it will not be easy to change when you are old. At present, among middle school students, many people are trying to imitate the pronunciation of foreigners. They listened to the tape recorder repeatedly and corrected their pronunciation and intonation over and over again. They seize every opportunity to speak English loudly, not afraid of making mistakes or being told that they are Chinglish, and gradually approach the British and American accents in listening and speaking practice. Their practice is worth learning from. When learning English, we should stick to the principle of listening before speaking, especially in the primary stage. We see that many junior high school students, even primary school students, have poor pronunciation, but they concentrate on learning grammar rules there. This is really putting the cart before the horse. It should be noted that grammar rules can be learned well in the future, and good pronunciation and oral ability will be difficult to make up after this age.

3. Do a good job of reading. Reading is an important aspect of English learning. Reading ability is an important ability to get information from words, and it is also the most convenient means for China people to learn English. Middle school students should work hard on intensive reading and extensive reading. The so-called intensive reading means reading carefully and understanding the structure and meaning sentence by sentence. For words or phrases you don't understand, you should look them up in the dictionary to understand them. After reading the article, you should also learn induction, synthesis and reasoning. Sometimes, translating difficult English sentences into Chinese helps to understand English accurately. Texts in middle school English textbooks and some famous English articles can be used as intensive reading materials. Extensive reading is a reading method that middle school students easily ignore. The so-called extensive reading is to read through, only to understand the general idea, regardless of the sentence structure, regardless of the usage of certain words. Extensive reading materials are varied, such as simple reading materials, English newspapers and periodicals for middle school students and various relatively simple English articles, which can be widely read by middle school students. When reading this kind of material, don't look up a new word in the dictionary. Try to guess the meaning from the context. Unless a new word appears repeatedly, you don't know whether its meaning really affects your understanding of the whole text. Extensive reading should also pay attention to a certain speed, and sometimes it is not necessary to read it carefully word by word. If you read more, you will have a strong sense of language, and you can gradually exercise your ability to skip and scan. It can be said that people who can't read extensively are not called reading.

4. writing. There is one more thing for middle school students to learn English, that is, writing. Listening, speaking, reading and writing actually influence and restrict each other. Writing exercises can be done later, but high school students should always write English anyway. Writing can help us master English more accurately and improve our listening, speaking and reading abilities. Middle school students should start with simple sentences, not long ones. Write one or two sentences first, and gradually develop to five or ten sentences. Beginners can translate into English according to the meaning of Chinese when writing, and slowly write English directly by the English thinking in their heads. Beginners mainly use small words and sentences, that is, common words and simple sentences. When you have a certain level, you can also use some complex structures, such as attributive clauses, non-predicate verb phrases, emphasized sentence patterns and so on. Also practice using conjunctions well, because using conjunctions well can make the meaning expression more accurate and the article smoother. One thing to mention is not to create Chinglish. People in China should write English mainly by imitation, using sentences you have heard and read.

5. Reciting is the basic skill of English learning. Learning English can only be applied flexibly on the basis of rote memorization. Reciting is the first step in memory. Reciting is not as good as reciting a short passage. For example, the essay in Book 2 of New Concept English is interesting in content, simple in words and authentic in language, and it is really a good material to practice reciting. Reciting has many advantages, which can make us familiar with English vocabulary and structure and enhance our sense of language. Since what you have memorized is deeply rooted in your mind, it lays the foundation for you to imitate the sentence patterns of British and American people when you use English? Otherwise, what should you say? How to write? If you only make sentences according to grammatical rules, that kind of English is probably not authentic English. Another advantage of reciting is to accumulate for the future. Middle school is a period with the best memory, and what is memorized is often unforgettable. Without a lot of recitation in middle school, it is difficult to develop English to a higher level in the future.

6. Vocabulary and grammar learning. There is a view that China can learn English only by following foreigners, without learning English grammar or vocabulary usage. This omnipotence is not in line with China's national conditions. There are certain conditions for middle school students to learn English. First of all, they come from China, and Chinese has penetrated into their minds. It is impossible for them to completely forget Chinese when they are thinking. Secondly, if grammar is studied properly, it will make students more accurate in applying English and more in line with the habits of British and American people. In addition, the family and social environment of middle school students learning English also determines that they will not have more opportunities to deal directly with foreigners. They are more engaged in reading activities, and grammar knowledge is conducive to accurate reading.

Studying grammar seriously means remembering the basic rules of English grammar and often applying them to the practice of using English. Reciting examples is a good way to learn grammar theory, but middle school students don't have to delve into grammar knowledge too carefully. Because English is a living language after all, any rules are relative. Some students have a misunderstanding that learning grammar well means learning English well, but it is not. Grammar is only a help to our language practice. Learning English is mainly listening, speaking, reading and writing.

Regarding vocabulary learning, we should adhere to the principle that words cannot be separated from sentences and sentences cannot be separated from the beginning. Reciting dictionaries is not suitable for most people. Remembering words by combining sentences is easy to understand, easy to remember and can be used. As for vocabulary, middle school students should first master the basic vocabulary learned in textbooks. Of course, it is also beneficial to remember some interesting extracurricular vocabulary, but it doesn't have to take a lot of time to expand your vocabulary. When the foundation is laid, the vocabulary problem will be solved easily.

Learning vocabulary can adopt the method of "classification", and English vocabulary is especially suitable for the method of "small package". Because only a few words in English have the same law, it can't be summarized as a universal law. For example, uncountable nouns commonly used in nouns include: suggestions, weather, progress, news, information, furniture. Nouns with "s" have different meanings: good (goods), sand (sand), things (things), time (time), work (works), sky (skills) and courage. Classification can make us have a clearer understanding of the characteristics of these words and the differences between different categories.

Correct methods of English general review in senior three.

English review in senior three is an important stage of English teaching in senior high school. Because students are facing the college entrance examination, the teaching at this stage has attracted the attention of students, teachers and even the whole society. The task at this stage is not only to check for missing parts, but more importantly, to enrich students' language experience, enhance their sense of language, transform their language knowledge into their practical ability to use English, and raise their original ability to a new level. At the same time, through general review, students can better master English learning methods, learn to teach themselves, improve their thinking ability of comprehensive analysis, observation, judgment and imagination, and improve their comprehensive quality.

(1) study the 2003 exam instructions carefully, and read the explanations of all kinds of questions and the 2002 exam questions carefully. This will give you a clear understanding of the requirements, scope, key points and topic style of the exam, so that you can have a clear idea when reviewing, avoid detours and avoid blindness.

(2) Adhere to the principle of putting practice first and giving priority to practice. It is necessary to summarize what you have learned concisely, but never spend a lot of time learning grammar rules. We should spend most of our time practicing reading, writing and listening, that is, using language. We should adhere to the principle that words cannot be separated from sentences and sentences cannot be separated from articles, deepen understanding in practice, consolidate memory in practice, and learn to use them in practice. The ability to use English is cultivated in the practice of using English, not by teachers. In learning English, we should stick to imitation, supplemented by understanding, and don't delve into why. Some students collect formaldehyde when learning English? The attitude of "a gentleman talks but doesn't do it" is to ponder the theory blindly, instead of spending time writing, looking for articles and taking a quick look. Their ability to use English will not be greatly improved in the end.

(3) When practicing, practice reading. After reading it, you have laid a good foundation for doing all kinds of problems well? Reading should be the main content of all general reviews. When practicing reading, you should pay attention to ensuring a certain amount every day. To combine intensive reading with extensive reading, some articles should be read carefully, while others just want to understand the main idea of the story. We should gradually become familiar with the difficulties in language use, such as the structural analysis of long sentences, the post-attributive, the meaning of non-predicate verbs, the use of related words, and frequent ellipsis, substitution and jumping. At the same time, we should learn to observe, analyze, imagine and synthesize, and learn logical reasoning and judgment. On the basis of ensuring a certain amount, practice written expression, composition correction and personal fill in the blanks. Many students have a soft spot for filling in the blanks by themselves and spend a lot of time studying and summarizing. This direction is actually wrong.

(D) Listening practice should be persistent. The listening questions in 2002 and 2003 are not easy for many students to reflect, which shows that the college entrance examination requires high English listening for middle school students. Students are advised to practice listening 10-20 minutes every day. Listening materials can be simulated questions read by foreigners, and intensive listening and extensive listening should be combined. Some paragraphs are listened to repeatedly, so you should understand every word. Others are probably just listening. Extensive listening is good for cultivating a sense of language. When practicing listening, we should learn to grasp key words, learn to predict, and try to analyze and synthesize while listening. Pay attention to the types of listening questions, that is, summarizing the central topic, reasoning and judging, and talking about details. Talk about the contents of common exams, such as making phone calls, shopping and reading blogs? Have a meal, arrange activities, express opinions, etc. , should be familiar with each other. The improvement of listening comprehension can not be achieved in one morning, but a slow effort. But if you listen to it often, you will definitely make great progress.

(5) Writing practice should be improved in writing practice. Many students have a weakness when preparing for the college entrance examination, that is, they are only willing to read and not willing to write. What about English composition? I have to emphasize several articles before the exam. This is actually very wrong. English written expression accounts for 25 points in the college entrance examination, which is a key question type. How can you treat it like this? Writing ability can't be improved just by doing other problems. We must act quickly and write a few words every day, from less to more, from simple to complicated, and gradually we are close to the requirements of the college entrance examination. Practice writing, mainly to describe one thing, but also to write short articles describing people, introducing places or expressing opinions. You can mainly use common words and sentence patterns when practicing for the first time. Have a certain foundation, and then try to use novel vocabulary and complex structure. The so-called complex structure should not be considered unattainable. Changing simple sentences into attributive clauses, emphasizing sentence patterns or using non-predicate verb phrases means using complex structures. When practicing writing, we should also pay attention to the integrity of the content, the neatness of the writing style, the number of words to meet the requirements, and more importantly, we should make clear who we are writing for and what the purpose of communication is. The way to practice is to write your own composition, ask the teacher to correct it, find writing exercises with answers, or copy English compositions when you have time. Copying and reciting articles can improve your writing ability unconsciously.

(6) master the vocabulary in the exam instructions. Many nouns in the vocabulary can be classified as reading vocabulary, as long as you know the meaning and can spell. But common words such as verbs, prepositions and conjunctions must have four skills. We emphasize the importance of listening, reading and writing in the general review, not to say that basic vocabulary and grammar knowledge are not important. Just don't overemphasize grammar.

(7) Grasp the basic problems. No matter what exam, the basic things are the most important. English college entrance examination is no exception. Candidates should strive to ensure that they get the basic questions and strive for the difficult questions. If you don't lose points on the basic questions, you can guarantee that you won't fail the exam. So in the review, we must arrange the difficulty of practice according to the actual situation. If the level is not very high, you must focus on practicing the basic questions, not too relaxed, and don't compare with others. We should make basic vocabulary and basic sentence patterns solid, and understand, recognize and be familiar with them. The closer to the college entrance examination, the less difficult it is. Because at this time, due to the limited time, it is impossible to make your ability climb to a new peak, but you can fully understand and accurately understand the error-prone questions. It's a pity that some students are too difficult to review the exercises, which cost a lot of effort and have little effect. They think that they can reach a higher level by doing more difficult exercises, but this is not the case. Also depends on the original basic skills.

(8) Pay attention to the improvement of thinking ability and other qualities. English college entrance examination is not only about the use and understanding of English language. It also examines students' abilities of observation, analysis, judgment, synthesis, reasoning and imagination. Cloze, for example, can only be judged accurately by careful observation and analysis combined with the specific circumstances of the context. Another example is reading comprehension. Most of the topics are for students to summarize the center, guess the meaning of words, infer the tone, analyze the results and so on. Without good thinking ability, it is impossible to read and understand an article only from the text. In addition, in order to meet the 2004 college entrance examination, candidates should also pay attention to the understanding of British and American culture. Pay attention to international current affairs, expand your knowledge, learn the latest scientific and technological trends, and lay a good foundation for your college entrance examination in the new year.
