From a middle school student to an English college teacher
As a international businessman ,we often talk about how to improve English ,especially oral .Someone says it is too hard .Actually it is not easy to grasp a foreign language .but it is not so difficult as you thought .
I have a friend____ a girl of meddle school student ,when she was 16 years old ,she went to BEIJING as clerk in a college .In the college ,she saw a lot of teachers and students can talk to foreigners fluently ,she was very admired and made up her mind she had to learn it by herself .After work ,she taught herself and consulted to other teachers. three years passed away ,her English improved a lot ,then became a teacher ,taught in infants school ,elementary school ,meddle school , college ,even taught foreigners learning Chinese .Her oral is pure American English . It is pretty good .
Her experience of learning English give me a lot of encouragement. Many students graduate from college ,they pass the 四级 and 六级 ，but they cannot converse to foreigners fluently .most of them pay more on exam .That is the most problem of Chinese education .
As a English- lover ,I want to share some tips about learning English .
1,pay much more attention on listening .Imaging ,if you cannot not get the foreigners meaning when you are having a conversation ,how can you reply .
2,just like KARL. MARX saying ,when you are learning a foreign language ,forget all about your mother language .When you are having a conversation ,try to think about what you want to say in English on you mind ,do not think in Chinese and then translate into Chinese ,if you do so ,you cannot follow the others ,and you cannot speak it freely .
3,try to make a good language environment for yourself, these days ,there a lot of good website on the internet ,they are made by some professional educational institutions from USA ,such as ?¡ãlet us talk in English , American on the air , studio classroom ?¡ã,they are very good for oral .
4,as Confucius said ,the interesting is the best teacher .when you really love it and are interested in it, you can master it .I think if you want to learn something useful ,you have to work hard ,but something useless such as smoking, you can learn very easily .
This is my experience of learning English , I think this will help English-lovers .my major is engineering ,not English , after graduating from college, I learn it on line about 5 years ,and writing about 100 notebooks (1,500,000 English words ).
I would like to help friends of entering into international business .
