2、什么又是語言呢？在美國傳統(tǒng)字典里對語言Language的解釋是：The use by human beings of voice sounds, and often written symbols representing these sounds, in organized combinations and patterns in order to express and communicate thoughts and feelings. 翻譯成漢語就是：人類聲音的使用，并且經(jīng)常是代表這些聲音的文字符號，并以有條理的組合和形式出現(xiàn)，目的是為了表達(dá)和交流思想和感情。簡而言之，語言包括漢語、英

3、語、法語、德語、日語、韓語等等，是人們用來交流和溝通的工具。工具誕生和存在的意義是被有效的使用，而不是讓人們終生學(xué)習(xí)“使用說明”和“制作方法”。語言的應(yīng)用無外乎兩個方面，讀和寫。盡管絕大部分的國人對于英文寫作的水平有限，但是經(jīng)歷了這么多年的考試的歷練，至少還是得到了一定程度的鍛煉，可以應(yīng)付一般的交流，當(dāng)然是在沒有十分苛刻要求的前提下。盡管語言最主要的應(yīng)用是說，通過聲音的交流。很不幸，在傳統(tǒng)教育的體制下，英語語言表述的能力被殘忍并有效的忽略了，原因很簡單，因為中考不考，高考也不考，甚至大學(xué)的畢業(yè)證、學(xué)位證和口語能力也沒有直接的在考核方面的掛鉤。試想如果我們從小一路走來，在學(xué)習(xí)英語的時候，口語能力

4、的考核就開始要求。那么在大學(xué)畢業(yè)的時候，每一個同學(xué)都可以說一口倍兒地道的帶有中式口音的英語了。學(xué)習(xí)英語的目的是用來與人交流和溝通的，如果不想讓自己多年學(xué)習(xí)英語的辛苦付諸東流，從現(xiàn)在起，就要開始練習(xí)開口說了！筆者對于英語的學(xué)習(xí)和研究也有十幾年的歷史，對于口語的水平也是略通皮毛。點滴心得希望與大家分享。英語口語的學(xué)習(xí)其實與嬰兒學(xué)話的過程是一樣的。再次問一下自己，“如果以分鐘累加計算，我們曾經(jīng)開口講英語的時間是多少呢？”注意，此處一定是自己開口說的時間，是與 他人用英語交談的時間減去他人講話時間。一個星期！相信這是一個比較實際的平均值，可能還有略低。大家用自己的發(fā)達(dá)腦細(xì)胞琢磨一下，一個星期就想把英語

5、說的流利地道，這可能嗎？充其量也就是一個美國幼兒園水平，絕對不會超過小學(xué)生水平。嬰兒是如何學(xué)會開口講話的呢？無論任何國家任何地區(qū)任何民族的小孩子的語言能力都是從叫爸爸媽媽開始，逐漸說一些簡單的并且一定程度上帶有語法錯誤或者詞匯使用不當(dāng)?shù)木渥?，然后才是聊一些簡單的日常的話題，（顯然，談朝核問題是不行的），隨著接受家庭、學(xué)校和社會教育，5年左右的時間就可以很流暢應(yīng)用英語了。所以，不要幻想，我們是大學(xué)生或者成年人，就要談那些用漢語可以隨心所欲交流的生僻的話題，比如軍事、歷史、政治、文學(xué)等等。首先，我們要很謙虛謹(jǐn)慎的給自己一個定位我們僅僅是幼兒園以下的水平。如果我們可以很平和的接受自己的定位，那么，英

6、語口語學(xué)習(xí)的征途就可以啟程了！在后面的幾個章節(jié)中，對于口語的練習(xí)都有詳細(xì)的方法和計劃。希望大家可以按照要求不斷地練習(xí)，也祝福大家在口語能力方面會有一個質(zhì)的飛躍！第二章 英文單句復(fù)述練習(xí)時間：不低于24小時（以分鐘為單位累加計算）。3小時/天，即8天；1小時/天，即24天；半小時/天，48天；時間不確定或者無法堅持的同學(xué)，還是堅定不易的飄過吧！推薦每天練習(xí)1-3個小時；練習(xí)方法：1 讀一遍本章中給出的句子，如有不認(rèn)識的單詞，請查閱相關(guān)工具，確保理解句子的含義，這也是增加自己詞匯量的一個很好的途徑。2 講本書合起或者將目光一直別處或者將雙眼閉起。3 回憶剛才所看到的句子，用自己的語言，當(dāng)然是英語，

7、把它說出來。4 查看原句，對比自己說的和原句是否在句子含義上是一致的。5 如果對這個句子含義的表述已經(jīng)很準(zhǔn)確了，那么加快自己的說這句話時的語速，和正常閱讀時候的速度差不多6 如果這個句子的練習(xí)，您已經(jīng)很滿意了，那么，請對下一個句子進(jìn)行練習(xí)，直到結(jié)束。如果有興趣的話，可以任意找一些其他的英文句子，以同樣的方法做強(qiáng)化訓(xùn)練。注意事項：第十一章 在把這個句子表述完成之前，一定不要看原句第十二章 你可以把句子表達(dá)的不完整或不準(zhǔn)確，但是在把這個句子表述完成之前，一定不要看原句第十三章 你甚至可以句子說的與原來的含義南轅北轍，但是在把這個句子表述完成之前，一定不要看原句。第十四章 不要試圖把句子背下來，看一
