这两天很开心，因为收到很多来参加英语角的同学朋友的感谢信，其中很大一部分是来参加我主持的BEC口语练习的。经过上一个学期的经验教训，这个学期的英语角BEC部分有了较好的进展。今晚我特地为大家讲解了关于BEC作文的写法以及我亲自写的一篇范文（自称为范文，究竟够不够格还得另当别论，呵呵）。一回到宿舍就看到很多封邮件，是大家发给我的，邮件中感谢我给他们的指导，谢谢我举办了英语角让大家受益。一方面我感到了由衷的高兴，但另一方面我也感到了更大的压力和使命感。英语角已经深深地融入了我的生活，成为了我大学生活必不可少的组成部分。这个学期可能是我最后一次主持英语角了，下个学期我就要毕业了，想来真的有很多不舍~~~
生活依旧忙碌地进行着，有时真的让我很头痛。有太多太多的东西要做，上课，教书，英语角，上网校，班务，练习口语，做作业看书，时不时的翻译兼职~~~~所有的这一切都在每周七天里安排得满满的，让你无处躲藏。一天中唯一轻松点的可能就是吃饭的20来分钟可以看看电视剧，还有睡前的半个小时可以写写文章。其实有时一直在忙个不停，到头来也不知道自己在忙什么，时间溜得太快了，眨眼间一天就过去了。望着时针慢慢指向深夜一点，我也只能无奈地关上电脑，合上书本，乖乖地上床睡觉，可是心里依旧想着没有看完的书，没有听完的听力~~~
最近真的返璞归真了，重拾自己喜欢的文学。不管多忙我都抽时间出来进行阅读。最近一直在重读鲁讯的《彷徨》，已经看完一半了，估计不几天就可以看完了。至于感受嘛，以后再和大家分享~~~

Each time I am holding the English corner, there will be quite a few students asking me how to learn English well, or how to speak fluent English. When asked of this question, I tend to be speechless to them for a few seconds and want to laugh in my heart. To me, it is both an easy and difficult question, for its answer is easier said than done.
How to learn English well? How to speak fluent English? Actually, I know that many of us have already known the answer, but the point is that we try our best to deny these methods. But why do we do our utmost to deny these methods? It is simply because the effects of these methods will only become evident as long as we stick to them for a long period of time, such as one year, or even several or ten years. That is what we call perseverance. However, hearing such tough and constant efforts of such a long time to learn English, many people will be taken aback and simply want to withdraw. They are faltering whether they should continue with the rough journey. Then an idea may strike their minds that there may be some shortcuts to master English within a short time. So they are inclined to suppose that most excellent English learners must have some shortcuts that can accelerate their process of learning English so that they can have a good command of it. But each time in the English corner, my answer to those questions will only be one, that is just read more, listen more, write more and speak more!
Although I am not an expert in English, I would like to share with you my English-learning experience. My method is less than simple. I am used to rising early in the morning. After breakfast, I will read English loudly by the lake or in a quiet place for at least half an hour. Every day I will spend at least half an hour listening to English news. Then I will read a variety of English articles coming from newspaper, magazines and most of the time from internet, which can tremendously cultivate my sense of language and consolidate my memory of the vocabulary I have learnt. Moreover, I am absorbing new vocabularies and expressions from those beautiful and practical articles. Apart from that, I have a habit of keeping English diary on a regular basis. The content of my diaries can be abundant and colorful, ranging from personal emotions to compositions for some professional or authoritative exams such as IELTS, TOFEL, GMAT or GRE. Through writing for these several years, I realize that not only have my writing skills and ability been considerably elevated, but also my critical and insightful thinking has been greatly sharpened. Combining all these methods together all the way, gradually, you will realize that your English is progressing little by little. One day, you will come to realize that your English has already leapt to another platform on which you can better display your talents.
Therefore, my dear friends, do not ask me how to learn English well any more. The answer is right here, right in your mind, which, however, you are trying to deny. There is only one word on the boundary between the good learners and bad ones. That is persistence. If you can overmaster this word and get beyond it, then you will surely become an invincible warrior in English one day! Look forward and not hold back, and you will embrace a rosy future! |
