学英文笨功夫逃不掉,给自己定个十年的计划吧
做学生就多考分,做成人就多挣钱,这样尊严才可以多一点。
——我离托福考试只剩19天。
周一早上好,新的一周开始了,总结下上周收获,列下周目标清单,人生的美好需要继续奋斗。
今天我们用连岳的文章,来谈谈学英语的方法。
正如外语学习大师 Pimsleur 博士所说:学习外语能使人的生活更丰富,不仅体现在学成以后,更在学习过程中。学习外语可激励一个人,使他更有目的地行动,学外语是缓慢的但有趣的远足。
我同意他的所有观点,还想补充的是,学外语也能训练一个人延缓满足的能力,毕竟,从开始学,到有所成,隔着几年时间。延缓满足能力,有利于你做任何事,是成功人士的标配。
当对一件事过于强调其重要性时,许多人会产生厌恶感,比如金钱,比如英语。我不知道是不是有人特意撒播负面信息,总会有许多人认为金钱不重要,学不学没必要。即使我和两三个好友认真讨论过,也没人拿它太当回事,最后究其本质时,就是一个字:懒。
不管是战略战术上虚假的勤奋,还是永远坚持不下来,那些没领略过语言的边界的,终生被限制在里面。
我希望你富足,金钱只是其表现结果,原因还在追求和努力的精神,而学习是最好的体现方式,外语水平则是最经济最划算的一门技能。
一个英文老师不好,英文考试制度不合理,这都有可能激怒我们,结果是我们放弃了一种最有力的知识工具。英文老师和考试制度都活得好好的,受害最深的却是我们自己,我们发泄了愤怒,却帮助他人捆绑了自己,这其实是不智之举。
我可以从多出资料中引出学英语的大大好处,也能帮你找来学习资料和方法,但是行动永远在你,即使你是我亲弟,即使你是我好友。
在朋友相处中,我慢慢总结出两条原则:
我对你永远有时间和足够耐心
会不惜成本分享我认为足够美好的东西
当然我的耐心,目前表现在非常多的话,因为对其他人,一般保持沉默;我认为的美好,可能你会不耐烦,所以我就在推荐语之后止步,其他的事情,还是要靠你自己完成。
这才是自主掌控的美好人生。
学英文笨功夫逃不掉,给自己定个十年的计划吧,即使要从狂背了几千常用词开始,然后进行阅读英文原作。
练习听力的材料到处都是,即使边走边听,周而复始,听个四五十来遍,也能慢慢积攒对一门语言的感觉。
这么慢慢磨啊磨吧,时间一天天过去,无论情绪有何起伏,也不管发生什么,天天都花一些时间在英文上,它就不再是负担,反而像是打坐、饮茶和长跑一样让人开心的仪式。
下面进入正题。
