第一部分 - 英语学习小窍门
1.1 Set Goals
It’s often much easier to motivate yourself to work if you have something to aim for. Goals can be short or long term. A short term goal in learning English might be to learn enough to be able to book a hotel room. A longer term aim could be to attend a University in a foreign country, or get a 6.5 on the IELTS exam.
设定目标
每个人都是如此，当心中有了追求的目标，就会不断激励自己朝着目标前进。而设定英语学习的目标可以分为长期或短期。所谓短期目标是一些短期内在英语上能取得的进步，比如在一个星期内学会用英语预定酒店。而长期目标就是在一段时间后你在英语上所期望的得到的提高，比如6个月后去外国读书或者是3个月雅思取得6.5分。
1.2 Be Prepared to Work Hard
Learning a language is generally not easy. Most people have other things to do in their lives apart from learning English. You need to realize this and be patient with regard to your progress. But you won’t achieve much if you don’t put in the effort. We can provide you with quality instructors. However, your progress depends a lot on you.
准备努力学习
总的来说，学习外语是不容易的。许多人除了学习英语还有很多其他的事情要做。所以你要意识到你的进步不是一时之间可以完成的，但如果你不努力，想有所成绩是不太可能的。我们可以给你们最优秀的老师，但你的进步更大程度上取决于你自己。
1.3 Make Time
Many of us lead busy lives and find it hard to fit new things into an already established routine. Learning English can be requires discipline. You need to set aside time for your learning and be prepared to study during that time. Putting things off because you’re too tired is ok every now and then, but it shouldn’t become a habit. Make English an indispensable part of your schedule.
安排时间
我们很多人都挺忙，觉得在平时忙碌的工作中再学点新东西很困难。英语学习是要有原则的。你必须留出时间来学习英语，而且在这段时间你所做的就是学习。当你感觉太累的时候休息一下是可以的，但是这不能成为一种习惯。要把英语当成你日常生活中不可缺少的一部分，不能随便放弃。
1.4 Ask Questions
We don’t expect students to be sponges. You can’t expect to absorb everything and not have any questions to ask. Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Our teachers are here to help.
学会提问
我们并不期待我们的学生是一块海绵，你不可能吸收所有的东西而不提出任何问题。不要害怕提问，我们的老师随时欢迎你的提问并会帮助你的。
1.5 Do Some Extra-curricular Work
Having a teacher to instruct and guide you is vital. However, you can also study independently in fact; this will be more likely to make you a successful language learner. Don’t wait until it’s time for class to pull out your English books.
做一些课外作业
有个老师来指导你学习是很必要的。但是你要知道学习是一种独立的行为，如果你能自主学习的话，你会学的更好。不要等到上课了才把你的课本拿出来。
1.6 Watch English Movies
This is a great way to pick up colloquial English and practise listening. You don’t need to be able to understand every word to understand what is happening in a movie. Turn on the English Subtitles to help with understanding - this is a great way to practice reading also. Choose movies that you are more likely to be able to follow. Movies with short dialogue, separated by long sequences of no dialogue are ideal, as they allow time to absorb the language. Romantic movies tend to fall into this category.
看英语电影
用看英语电影来练习口语与听力是个好办法。要了解电影情节你其实并不需要很清楚的知道每个单词，但附上英语对白的话能帮助你更好的理解，这也是锻炼你阅读的一个很好的办法。电影要选你比较能够理解的。对白比较短的电影是不错的，因为它能给你足够的时间去理解消化你之前所听到的。爱情片通常就是这种形式。
1.7 Listen to English Music
Music can be a fun way to learn English. The next time you’re at a Karaoke bar or maybe at home singing in front of your TV, try singing an English song. This is a great way to practice putting some emotion into your English and will really improve the way other people perceive your meaning when you’re speaking English to them.
听英文歌
听英文歌学习英语是很有趣。下次你可以尝试在卡拉OK或在自己家唱英文歌。当你在和别人用英语对话时注入一些感情的话会有助于别人更好地理解你。
1.8 Reading
Reading is a fantastic way to learn new vocabulary. Try reading short stories rather than long novels. These are often broken down into short chapters which can be read and then analyzed for language. Don’t feel that you have to understand every word. Try to get the general meaning. Underline unknown words and try to guess their meaning from context. You can use your dictionary later to look them up and check if you were right. Use graded readers. These tend to have questions designed to test comprehension of what you have just read.
阅读
阅读对于扩大词汇量是一个很不错的方法。试着读一些短篇小说，这些小说都由短的篇章组成，对于学习语言是很有帮助的。你不需要完全理解文章中的每一个单词，了解大概意思就可以了。把你不懂的单词划上线，然后根据上下文来猜这些词的意思。之后，你再可以查查字典看这些词是什么意思，看你猜的对不对。此外，也可以使用分级读物，里面的问题可以测试你的阅读能力。
1.9 Go to English Corners
There is a rich English Corner tradition in China. Public places such as bookstores or parks often tend to have free English corners. Don’t be shy. Go along and take part. Ask questions. Meet people just like you who are interested in learning English.
参加英语角
英语角在中国很流行。像书店、公园都有免费的英语角可以参加。不要太害羞，要大胆的参与，多问问题。认识那些和你一样对学习英语感兴趣的人。
1.10 Use the Internet
The internet is a fantastic invention, which has changed the way we live our lives. While it is fantastic to be able to read the People’s daily or chat with friends online, it is a waste if we don’t use the medium to learn English. Here at English First, we offer a full suite of blended online learning applications. But, in addition to that, there’s plenty you can do on your own.
利用互联网
互联网是一项伟大的发明，它已经大大改变了我们的生活方式。互联网使我们可以在线读报，随时跟别人聊天，如果不运用互联网来学习的话那将是一个很大的浪费。在EF英孚教育，我们提供一整套网上英语学习设备。但是要补充的是，你自己还可以运用其他很多资源来学习英文。
1.11 Read English Newspapers
There are numerous newspapers which provide a rich source of interesting and varied reading materials.
阅读英文报纸
有很多报纸为我们提供了丰富有趣、各式各样的内容。
1.12 Listen to Radio
Virtually every radio station in the world is up for grabs with the Internet. Don’t just be content with the VOA or BBC world service. There are many other interesting alternatives. Try listening to radio from around the English speaking world.
听收音机
现在基本上所有的广播都可以在互联网上收听到。不要只满足于听VOA或是BBC，其实我们有其他 很多选择。试着收听不同英语国家的英文频道。
1.13 Chat
You can use MSN, yahoo and other chat programs to chat in English. Rather than firing up QQ the minute you switch on your PC, try finding some of your English speaking friends. If you have Skype, encourage your friends to get it too and call them for free using your computer.
聊天
你可以用MSN，雅虎或其他聊天软件用英语聊天。不要一打开电脑就上QQ，可以试着找找说英文的朋友。如果你有Skype，鼓励你朋友也申请一个，和你朋友一起在网上用英语语音聊天。
1.14 Don’t be Self-conscious
There are a few old-fashioned methods which might sound quirky but can work:
Improve your pronunciation:
Use a mirror to practice making difficult English sounds; Record yourself speaking English and listen afterward, paying attention to stress, intonation and problem phonemes.
Think in English:
Have an imaginary conversation in English. Think through what you’re going to say.
Speak to your friends in English:
At EF, our teachers encourage students to practice by speaking with each other. This doesn’t have to be confined to the classroom. Try speaking to your Chinese friends in English. Don’t worry about picking up bad pronunciation habits-speaking more regularly will give you a much greater level of confidence and you will definitely improve faster.
不要太害羞
这里有一些老套但非常有效的方法：
提高你的发音能力:
对着镜子练习平时感觉很难发的音。自己说英语的时候录下来，注意重音，音调，和比较难发音的音素。
试着用英语思考:
用英语思维，想想你要说什么，可以想象着用英语对话。
跟你的朋友用英语聊天:
在EF，我们的老师鼓励学生跟每个人都用英语交流。这不局限于在教室，试着用英文跟你的朋友交流。不要担心发音不正确，只要经常锻炼，你的信心会增加，而且进步会非常显著。
1.15 For Parents
Kid’s whose parents take an active interest in their child’s education will probably be much more likely to become successful language learners. Let them know you care by communicating with them regularly about what they are learning at EF:
Check their homework and help them with it as much as you can.
Make sure they are actually using those tapes that you paid for at the start of the course. Too many kids never even take off the cellophane wrapping on their cassettes. Your child can learn a lot from reviewing material from each unit on the tapes.
If you can speak even a little English, don’t be afraid to use it with your child. Don’t be afraid that your child will learn bad pronunciation-that’s one of the reasons you send them to us! But the more exposure they have to the language, the better they will become at English.
Encourage your child to read as much as possible in English. It’s important to choose material appropriate to your child. However, there is a wide range of material available at local bookstores which will be suitable for your child.
Let them watch cartoons and movies in English. Children love cartoons, and seeing them in English will only increase their desire to learn.
We can also provide a number of additional tools to support your child’s education. These are an ideal supplement to regular classes, or for those occasions when you can’t offer as much help as you would like:
o Multimedia games
o Additional activities taught by local and foreign teachers
o High Flyer Games
o Trailblazer games
o EF Extra
o Tutor lessons for different levels
One of the best ways you can help with your child’s education is to take part yourself. Why not sign up for a course yourself. Come to EF together with your child and learn English together.
致家长
家长对于孩子英语教育的兴趣会很大程度上影响孩子学习英语的能力。让孩子们知道并了解你们很希望孩子经常用他们在EF学到的英语和你们交流:
经常检查孩子的家庭作业，并尽最大能力帮助他们完成作业；
要保证孩子们经常听磁带。我们发现很多孩子的磁带竟然封套都还没有撕掉。经常听磁带复习学习过的内容对孩子的英语学习很有帮助；
如果您能讲英语，哪怕只有一点点，也要经常和孩子对话。不要担心您的发音会影响到孩子，我们的老师会帮助和纠正他们的发音—这事实上是您把孩子送到我们学校的原因之一。请相信，孩子越多的接触和使用英语，他们的英语能力会越强；
鼓励您的孩子多阅读。选择合适的英语读物很重要，但是在书店还是有不少可以选择适合孩子阅读的英语读物的；
鼓励孩子多看英语卡通片和英语影片。孩子们很喜欢卡通，英语卡通片会很大的激励孩子学习英语的兴趣和期望；
我们还提供了一系列可以帮助孩子学习英语的内容。这些都是平时常规课程的有效补充，我们期望通过这些补充，可以更好的帮助到孩子:
o 多媒体游戏
o 额外活动课
o 儿童游戏课
o 青少年活动课
o EF extra 补课
o 不同级别的中教辅导课
我们的建议是，只有您自己亲自参与进来，才是最佳的帮助孩子的方式。您可以和您的孩子一起学习英语，提高英语！
1.16 Continue to Study with EF!
We’re confident that studying with EF is the best way to ensure that you learn English as effectively as possible. Your hard work and our proven track record is a winning combination.
继续在EF学习英语！
我们有足够的信心能确保您在EF学习英语是最佳的最有效提高英语的方式。你的努力学习和我们的专业教育将会保证你在英语上突破。
SECTION TWO - Four Strategies on English Study
- 英语学习的四方面战略
2.1 Reading Strategies
· Look at the task/questions before reading.
· Look at the title, headings and any photos or illustrations before reading. Read the first paragraph and the last paragraph. Can you predict what the text might be about before reading the full text? (N.B.: The first sentence of a paragraph will usually give you a general idea of the whole paragraph.)
· On your first reading, try to understand as much as possible without using a dictionary.
· Skim to find the general idea of the whole text. Fast repeated reading is more effective than slow careful reading.
· Scan to find keywords. Read around the keywords to find the answer to the comprehension questions or to guess the meaning of unknown words. For any unknown words consider the following:
o What part of speech is it?
o Is it a positive or negative word?
o What is the context of the paragraph or sentence?
阅读技巧
· 阅读前先看问题；
· 阅读前先看标题，图片或者说明。先看第一段和最后一段在你阅读前，你可以估计出文章大意吗？（一般每段的第一句告诉你整段的大意）
· 第一次阅读时，尽量多的去理解，而不是查字典；
· 快速浏览寻找文章大意，快速反复阅读比慢速阅读更有效率；
· 快速查找关键词。围绕关键词查找问题答案或猜出生词意思，对于生词可以考虑下列要点：
o 词性是什么？
o 褒义词还是贬义词？
o 段落或句子的上下文是什么？
Immerse Yourself in English: Reading
· Do reading comprehension activities on EF’s iLAB
· Read English newspaper
· Read the EF Magazine
· Read ‘Graded Readers” (short books written with language graded to the student’s language level ability)
· Surf the Internet to learn more about topics you are interested in
· Join a local library
· Subscribe to online English-language newsletters, which are mailed to your inbox
沉浸于英语之中：阅读
· 在iLAB中做阅读理解；
· 读英文报纸；
· 读EF杂志；
· 读 Graded Readers (根据学生语言水平而编写的短文书籍)；
· 在互联网上查找你所感兴趣的话题的更多相关信息；
· 加入当地图书馆；
· 加入在线英语语言邮件列表，邮件可以直接发到你的电子邮件。
2.2 Speaking Strategies
· Learn delaying words/sounds used by English speakers to give themselves time to think, such as, “…er…”, “…umm…”, “…well…”
· Ask follow-up questions. Keep the other person talking by asking “Why?”, “How did you feel about that?”, “And then what happened?”, etc.
· Comment on what the other person has said with expressions like, “Really!”, “Exactly!”, “I totally agree”, etc. This also shows the other person that you are listening carefully and are interested in what the other person has to say.
· Ask for repetition or explanation if you need it. “I’m sorry, I didn’t quite catch that”, “I’m sorry, what you do mean exactly?”
· Give reasons for your statements. Try to finish sentences with ‘because. . .’ For example, “I like my teacher because she’s really friendly”.
· For more cohesive speech, use linking devices to glue sentences together. For example, “On the other hand…”, “Despite…”, “On a similar note…”
口语技巧
· 学会使用语气词，英语为母语的人通常使用语气词来换得更多的思考时间。例如：er, umm, well；
· 问深入性问题。通过问“Why?”, “How did you feel about that?”, “And then what happened?”这一类的问题让对方继续谈下去；
· 富有表情的对对方的言论发表看法。比如：”Really!”, “Exactly!”, “I totally agree”这可以让对方觉得你在认真聆听并对他所说的话感兴趣；
· 如果你不清楚对方在说什么，要求对方重复或解释。“I’m sorry, I didn’t quite catch that”, “I’m sorry, what you do mean exactly?”；
· 为你的说法提出理由。使用”because. . .”来结束句子。例如：“I like my teacher because she’s really friendly”；
· 为了更有连贯性，使用连接词来连接句子。例如： “On the other hand…”, “Despite…”, “On a similar note…”
Immerse Yourself in English: Speaking

· Plan:
Read any tasks or comprehension questions before you listen
Think about possible answers
· As you listen:
First listen for overall meaning, then listen for specific information
Don’t translate
Listen for clues in background noises, character/speakers, tone of voice.
听力技巧
· 预测：
在听之前你了解多少有关话题的内容？
你了解听力内容中的说话的人吗？你认为他们会说些什么？
从屏幕视图，文字，手势语及人物面部表情上你可以推测出听力的内容吗？
· 准备：
在做听力前阅读所有听力的任务和听力理解问题。
思考可能的答案。
· 听的过程中：
初次听大概意思，然后听具体的信息。
不要将听力内容翻译成中文。
从背景声音及说话者的语调得到一些话外音及线索。

教师对学习英语的建议
3.1 Learning a Language
· The teacher can show you the language and give you tools to help you learn but you must take the most important step and jump in and practice as much as you can.
· Don’t be afraid to participate, the teacher will create a friendly and open learning environment in which can experiment and try to speak English.
· Set yourself goals, but make them realistic. Congratulate yourself when you reach your goals.
· Don’t expect to understand everything immediately. Be patient, with time and effort the language will slowly become clearer.
· The fact that you’re reading this means you have already made an important step.
· Don’t give up. Imagine if at the age of 18 months, after a few falls, you decide you don’t want to learn to walk!
如何学习一种语言
· 教师可以演示教授你学习的方法来帮助你学习英语，但是最重要的一步必须由你自己来迈出，全身心地投入英语学习并勤加练习;
· 不要害怕，参与进来！老师将为你创造一个友好、开放的学习环境，你可以来感受英语并试着去表达;
· 制定你的学习目标，但是要现实一些。当实现你的目标时不妨庆祝一下;
· 不要期望立刻理解一切。耐心些，随着时间的推移和你的努力，你会渐渐地掌握英语;
· 如果你现在正在看着我们的建议，这已经意味着你迈出了重要的一步;
· 不要放弃。想想你18个月大的时候，跌倒了几次，难道那时你就不想再学走路了么？
3.2 In the Classroom
· Participate in the classes. Speak at every opportunity, with respect for others, of course. Listen to others when they are speaking.
· Be prepared to work with your classmates and to speak with them in English. We call this ‘pair work’ or ‘group work.’ Learning a language is about communicating with everybody.
· Expect to make lots of mistakes. You won’t learn without making mistakes. It’s part of the process. If the teacher sees you making mistakes, they know you are trying, if you are not making mistakes, you are not trying hard enough.
在课堂上如何学英语
· 积极参与到课堂中来。抓住每个机会说英语（当然也要尊重他人）。当别人讲话时，请认真倾听；
· 和你的同学们一起练习，交谈时要使用英语，我们称之谓“对对练”。学语言的目的就是要和别人交流，而不仅仅是与老师交流；
· 不要指望不犯错误。不犯错误你就学不会英语。犯错误也是学习过程的一部分。如果老师看到你的错误，他们知道你正在尝试，如过你从不犯错误，说明你努力的还不够。
3.3 Outside the Classroom
· Participate in the social activities and parties we will be organizing. Practicing outside the classroom is an invaluable opportunity to make the classroom language active.
· You should study at home. There is a fundamental truth… the more time you dedicate, the more you will improve.
· Watch TV (CCTV 9, English language movies and the latest news in English). Have a look at the broadcasting schedules.
· Listen to English language songs. They are a rich source of modern language usage and cultural reference.
· Read authentic English language materials-China Daily and 21st Century newspapers, magazines, books and novels etc.
· Visit English language learning websites. They are full of good ideas for learning and for general English topics.
在课外如何学英语
· 参加我们组织的英语交流活动和晚会。课外练习是不可多得的灵活应用课上语言的机会。
· 在家自学。你投入得越多，你的收获也越多――这是一个真理.
· 观看电视（CCTV9频道，原版电影及英语新闻），可以看下节目预告。
· 听英文歌曲。这是获取现代英语应用及了解西方文化的有效途径。
· 选择较好的英语读物进行阅读，如中国日报、21世纪英文报、英文杂志、小说等。
· 访问并浏览英文网站，有很多好的知识可以学习。
3.4 Learn from Your Mistakes
· Don’t expect to understand everything immediately.
· Fluency first, accuracy second
· Speak …at every opportunity!
· Participate and persist!
· We can show you the pool…Now jump in!
从错误中学习
· 不要期待立刻掌握一切！
· 流畅第一，准确第二；
· 说英语！抓住每一个机会！
· 参与！坚持！
· 我们把知识的海洋展现在你面前，现在跳进来吧！
3.5 Things to Remember
Problem
Solution
Talking about the past
In English you need to change the verb to talk about the past. Ask your teacher for practice opportunities and try to correct yourself and your classmates whenever possible.
Using contractions
Try to use contractions when speaking. These include:
My name’s (My name is)
They’re (They are)
I’d (I would)
Native speakers use contractions all the time, making understanding what they are saying much more difficult. Using contractions will make you more aware of them, improve your comprehension and make your English more natural sounding.
Pronunciation
/v/ /T/ /D/ /Z/
These sounds don’t exist in Chinese and cause many problems for English learners. Try to find out the correct mouth and tongue positions for making these sounds and practice saying words containing them.
特别需要注意的问题
问题点
建议
使用正确的过去时态
在英语中，谈论过去的事情要使用动词的过去时态，在任何可能的时候，抓住机会和你的老师进行对话练习，纠正自己及同学的错误。
使用连读
在讲话时尽量使用连读格式：
My name’s (My name is)
They’re (They are)
I’d (I would)
英语母语国家的人在任何时候都运用连读，了解他们所讲的内容确实比较困难。应用连读将使你更了解他们，并对提升你的理解力及语言的自然性有所帮助。
发音
/v/ /T/ /D/ /Z/
在汉语中找不到这些发音，很多英语初学者为此而困扰。尽量尝试去发现这些发音的正确口型及舌头位置，并通过反复训练来巩固正确的发音。

第一部分 - 英语学习小窍门
1.1 Set Goals
It’s often much easier to motivate yourself to work if you have something to aim for. Goals can be short or long term. A short term goal in learning English might be to learn enough to be able to book a hotel room. A longer term aim could be to attend a University in a foreign country, or get a 6.5 on the IELTS exam.
设定目标
每个人都是如此，当心中有了追求的目标，就会不断激励自己朝着目标前进。而设定英语学习的目标可以分为长期或短期。所谓短期目标是一些短期内在英语上能取得的进步，比如在一个星期内学会用英语预定酒店。而长期目标就是在一段时间后你在英语上所期望的得到的提高，比如6个月后去外国读书或者是3个月雅思取得6.5分。
1.2 Be Prepared to Work Hard
Learning a language is generally not easy. Most people have other things to do in their lives apart from learning English. You need to realize this and be patient with regard to your progress. But you won’t achieve much if you don’t put in the effort. We can provide you with quality instructors. However, your progress depends a lot on you.
准备努力学习
总的来说，学习外语是不容易的。许多人除了学习英语还有很多其他的事情要做。所以你要意识到你的进步不是一时之间可以完成的，但如果你不努力，想有所成绩是不太可能的。我们可以给你们最优秀的老师，但你的进步更大程度上取决于你自己。
1.3 Make Time
Many of us lead busy lives and find it hard to fit new things into an already established routine. Learning English can be requires discipline. You need to set aside time for your learning and be prepared to study during that time. Putting things off because you’re too tired is ok every now and then, but it shouldn’t become a habit. Make English an indispensable part of your schedule.
安排时间
我们很多人都挺忙，觉得在平时忙碌的工作中再学点新东西很困难。英语学习是要有原则的。你必须留出时间来学习英语，而且在这段时间你所做的就是学习。当你感觉太累的时候休息一下是可以的，但是这不能成为一种习惯。要把英语当成你日常生活中不可缺少的一部分，不能随便放弃。
1.4 Ask Questions
We don’t expect students to be sponges. You can’t expect to absorb everything and not have any questions to ask. Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Our teachers are here to help.
学会提问
我们并不期待我们的学生是一块海绵，你不可能吸收所有的东西而不提出任何问题。不要害怕提问，我们的老师随时欢迎你的提问并会帮助你的。
1.5 Do Some Extra-curricular Work
Having a teacher to instruct and guide you is vital. However, you can also study independently in fact; this will be more likely to make you a successful language learner. Don’t wait until it’s time for class to pull out your English books.
做一些课外作业
有个老师来指导你学习是很必要的。但是你要知道学习是一种独立的行为，如果你能自主学习的话，你会学的更好。不要等到上课了才把你的课本拿出来。
1.6 Watch English Movies
This is a great way to pick up colloquial English and practise listening. You don’t need to be able to understand every word to understand what is happening in a movie. Turn on the English Subtitles to help with understanding - this is a great way to practice reading also. Choose movies that you are more likely to be able to follow. Movies with short dialogue, separated by long sequences of no dialogue are ideal, as they allow time to absorb the language. Romantic movies tend to fall into this category.
看英语电影
用看英语电影来练习口语与听力是个好办法。要了解电影情节你其实并不需要很清楚的知道每个单词，但附上英语对白的话能帮助你更好的理解，这也是锻炼你阅读的一个很好的办法。电影要选你比较能够理解的。对白比较短的电影是不错的，因为它能给你足够的时间去理解消化你之前所听到的。爱情片通常就是这种形式。
1.7 Listen to English Music
Music can be a fun way to learn English. The next time you’re at a Karaoke bar or maybe at home singing in front of your TV, try singing an English song. This is a great way to practice putting some emotion into your English and will really improve the way other people perceive your meaning when you’re speaking English to them.
听英文歌
听英文歌学习英语是很有趣。下次你可以尝试在卡拉OK或在自己家唱英文歌。当你在和别人用英语对话时注入一些感情的话会有助于别人更好地理解你。
1.8 Reading
Reading is a fantastic way to learn new vocabulary. Try reading short stories rather than long novels. These are often broken down into short chapters which can be read and then analyzed for language. Don’t feel that you have to understand every word. Try to get the general meaning. Underline unknown words and try to guess their meaning from context. You can use your dictionary later to look them up and check if you were right. Use graded readers. These tend to have questions designed to test comprehension of what you have just read.
阅读
阅读对于扩大词汇量是一个很不错的方法。试着读一些短篇小说，这些小说都由短的篇章组成，对于学习语言是很有帮助的。你不需要完全理解文章中的每一个单词，了解大概意思就可以了。把你不懂的单词划上线，然后根据上下文来猜这些词的意思。之后，你再可以查查字典看这些词是什么意思，看你猜的对不对。此外，也可以使用分级读物，里面的问题可以测试你的阅读能力。
1.9 Go to English Corners
There is a rich English Corner tradition in China. Public places such as bookstores or parks often tend to have free English corners. Don’t be shy. Go along and take part. Ask questions. Meet people just like you who are interested in learning English.
参加英语角
英语角在中国很流行。像书店、公园都有免费的英语角可以参加。不要太害羞，要大胆的参与，多问问题。认识那些和你一样对学习英语感兴趣的人。
1.10 Use the Internet
The internet is a fantastic invention, which has changed the way we live our lives. While it is fantastic to be able to read the People’s daily or chat with friends online, it is a waste if we don’t use the medium to learn English. Here at English First, we offer a full suite of blended online learning applications. But, in addition to that, there’s plenty you can do on your own.
利用互联网
互联网是一项伟大的发明，它已经大大改变了我们的生活方式。互联网使我们可以在线读报，随时跟别人聊天，如果不运用互联网来学习的话那将是一个很大的浪费。在EF英孚教育，我们提供一整套网上英语学习设备。但是要补充的是，你自己还可以运用其他很多资源来学习英文。
1.11 Read English Newspapers
There are numerous newspapers which provide a rich source of interesting and varied reading materials.
阅读英文报纸
有很多报纸为我们提供了丰富有趣、各式各样的内容。
1.12 Listen to Radio
Virtually every radio station in the world is up for grabs with the Internet. Don’t just be content with the VOA or BBC world service. There are many other interesting alternatives. Try listening to radio from around the English speaking world.
听收音机
现在基本上所有的广播都可以在互联网上收听到。不要只满足于听VOA或是BBC，其实我们有其他 很多选择。试着收听不同英语国家的英文频道。
1.13 Chat
You can use MSN, yahoo and other chat programs to chat in English. Rather than firing up QQ the minute you switch on your PC, try finding some of your English speaking friends. If you have Skype, encourage your friends to get it too and call them for free using your computer.
聊天
你可以用MSN，雅虎或其他聊天软件用英语聊天。不要一打开电脑就上QQ，可以试着找找说英文的朋友。如果你有Skype，鼓励你朋友也申请一个，和你朋友一起在网上用英语语音聊天。
1.14 Don’t be Self-conscious
There are a few old-fashioned methods which might sound quirky but can work:
Improve your pronunciation:
Use a mirror to practice making difficult English sounds; Record yourself speaking English and listen afterward, paying attention to stress, intonation and problem phonemes.
Think in English:
Have an imaginary conversation in English. Think through what you’re going to say.
Speak to your friends in English:
At EF, our teachers encourage students to practice by speaking with each other. This doesn’t have to be confined to the classroom. Try speaking to your Chinese friends in English. Don’t worry about picking up bad pronunciation habits-speaking more regularly will give you a much greater level of confidence and you will definitely improve faster.
不要太害羞
这里有一些老套但非常有效的方法：
提高你的发音能力:
对着镜子练习平时感觉很难发的音。自己说英语的时候录下来，注意重音，音调，和比较难发音的音素。
试着用英语思考:
用英语思维，想想你要说什么，可以想象着用英语对话。
跟你的朋友用英语聊天:
在EF，我们的老师鼓励学生跟每个人都用英语交流。这不局限于在教室，试着用英文跟你的朋友交流。不要担心发音不正确，只要经常锻炼，你的信心会增加，而且进步会非常显著。
1.15 For Parents
Kid’s whose parents take an active interest in their child’s education will probably be much more likely to become successful language learners. Let them know you care by communicating with them regularly about what they are learning at EF:
Check their homework and help them with it as much as you can.
Make sure they are actually using those tapes that you paid for at the start of the course. Too many kids never even take off the cellophane wrapping on their cassettes. Your child can learn a lot from reviewing material from each unit on the tapes.
If you can speak even a little English, don’t be afraid to use it with your child. Don’t be afraid that your child will learn bad pronunciation-that’s one of the reasons you send them to us! But the more exposure they have to the language, the better they will become at English.
Encourage your child to read as much as possible in English. It’s important to choose material appropriate to your child. However, there is a wide range of material available at local bookstores which will be suitable for your child.
Let them watch cartoons and movies in English. Children love cartoons, and seeing them in English will only increase their desire to learn.
We can also provide a number of additional tools to support your child’s education. These are an ideal supplement to regular classes, or for those occasions when you can’t offer as much help as you would like:
o Multimedia games
o Additional activities taught by local and foreign teachers
o High Flyer Games
o Trailblazer games
o EF Extra
o Tutor lessons for different levels
One of the best ways you can help with your child’s education is to take part yourself. Why not sign up for a course yourself. Come to EF together with your child and learn English together.
致家长
家长对于孩子英语教育的兴趣会很大程度上影响孩子学习英语的能力。让孩子们知道并了解你们很希望孩子经常用他们在EF学到的英语和你们交流:
经常检查孩子的家庭作业，并尽最大能力帮助他们完成作业；
要保证孩子们经常听磁带。我们发现很多孩子的磁带竟然封套都还没有撕掉。经常听磁带复习学习过的内容对孩子的英语学习很有帮助；
如果您能讲英语，哪怕只有一点点，也要经常和孩子对话。不要担心您的发音会影响到孩子，我们的老师会帮助和纠正他们的发音—这事实上是您把孩子送到我们学校的原因之一。请相信，孩子越多的接触和使用英语，他们的英语能力会越强；
鼓励您的孩子多阅读。选择合适的英语读物很重要，但是在书店还是有不少可以选择适合孩子阅读的英语读物的；
鼓励孩子多看英语卡通片和英语影片。孩子们很喜欢卡通，英语卡通片会很大的激励孩子学习英语的兴趣和期望；
我们还提供了一系列可以帮助孩子学习英语的内容。这些都是平时常规课程的有效补充，我们期望通过这些补充，可以更好的帮助到孩子:
o 多媒体游戏
o 额外活动课
o 儿童游戏课
o 青少年活动课
o EF extra 补课
o 不同级别的中教辅导课
我们的建议是，只有您自己亲自参与进来，才是最佳的帮助孩子的方式。您可以和您的孩子一起学习英语，提高英语！
1.16 Continue to Study with EF!
We’re confident that studying with EF is the best way to ensure that you learn English as effectively as possible. Your hard work and our proven track record is a winning combination.
继续在EF学习英语！
我们有足够的信心能确保您在EF学习英语是最佳的最有效提高英语的方式。你的努力学习和我们的专业教育将会保证你在英语上突破。
SECTION TWO - Four Strategies on English Study
- 英语学习的四方面战略
2.1 Reading Strategies
· Look at the task/questions before reading.
· Look at the title, headings and any photos or illustrations before reading. Read the first paragraph and the last paragraph. Can you predict what the text might be about before reading the full text? (N.B.: The first sentence of a paragraph will usually give you a general idea of the whole paragraph.)
· On your first reading, try to understand as much as possible without using a dictionary.
· Skim to find the general idea of the whole text. Fast repeated reading is more effective than slow careful reading.
· Scan to find keywords. Read around the keywords to find the answer to the comprehension questions or to guess the meaning of unknown words. For any unknown words consider the following:
o What part of speech is it?
o Is it a positive or negative word?
o What is the context of the paragraph or sentence?
阅读技巧
· 阅读前先看问题；
· 阅读前先看标题，图片或者说明。先看第一段和最后一段在你阅读前，你可以估计出文章大意吗？（一般每段的第一句告诉你整段的大意）
· 第一次阅读时，尽量多的去理解，而不是查字典；
· 快速浏览寻找文章大意，快速反复阅读比慢速阅读更有效率；
· 快速查找关键词。围绕关键词查找问题答案或猜出生词意思，对于生词可以考虑下列要点：
o 词性是什么？
o 褒义词还是贬义词？
o 段落或句子的上下文是什么？
Immerse Yourself in English: Reading
· Do reading comprehension activities on EF’s iLAB
· Read English newspaper
· Read the EF Magazine
· Read ‘Graded Readers” (short books written with language graded to the student’s language level ability)
· Surf the Internet to learn more about topics you are interested in
· Join a local library
· Subscribe to online English-language newsletters, which are mailed to your inbox
沉浸于英语之中：阅读
· 在iLAB中做阅读理解；
· 读英文报纸；
· 读EF杂志；
· 读 Graded Readers (根据学生语言水平而编写的短文书籍)；
· 在互联网上查找你所感兴趣的话题的更多相关信息；
· 加入当地图书馆；
· 加入在线英语语言邮件列表，邮件可以直接发到你的电子邮件。
2.2 Speaking Strategies
· Learn delaying words/sounds used by English speakers to give themselves time to think, such as, “…er…”, “…umm…”, “…well…”
· Ask follow-up questions. Keep the other person talking by asking “Why?”, “How did you feel about that?”, “And then what happened?”, etc.
· Comment on what the other person has said with expressions like, “Really!”, “Exactly!”, “I totally agree”, etc. This also shows the other person that you are listening carefully and are interested in what the other person has to say.
· Ask for repetition or explanation if you need it. “I’m sorry, I didn’t quite catch that”, “I’m sorry, what you do mean exactly?”
· Give reasons for your statements. Try to finish sentences with ‘because. . .’ For example, “I like my teacher because she’s really friendly”.
· For more cohesive speech, use linking devices to glue sentences together. For example, “On the other hand…”, “Despite…”, “On a similar note…”
口语技巧
· 学会使用语气词，英语为母语的人通常使用语气词来换得更多的思考时间。例如：er, umm, well；
· 问深入性问题。通过问“Why?”, “How did you feel about that?”, “And then what happened?”这一类的问题让对方继续谈下去；
· 富有表情的对对方的言论发表看法。比如：”Really!”, “Exactly!”, “I totally agree”这可以让对方觉得你在认真聆听并对他所说的话感兴趣；
· 如果你不清楚对方在说什么，要求对方重复或解释。“I’m sorry, I didn’t quite catch that”, “I’m sorry, what you do mean exactly?”；
· 为你的说法提出理由。使用”because. . .”来结束句子。例如：“I like my teacher because she’s really friendly”；
· 为了更有连贯性，使用连接词来连接句子。例如： “On the other hand…”, “Despite…”, “On a similar note…”
Immerse Yourself in English: Speaking

What can you guess about the listening from visual support, the context, any gestures or facial expressions?
· Plan:
Read any tasks or comprehension questions before you listen
Think about possible answers
· As you listen:
First listen for overall meaning, then listen for specific information
Don’t translate
Listen for clues in background noises, character/speakers, tone of voice.
听力技巧
· 预测：
在听之前你了解多少有关话题的内容？
你了解听力内容中的说话的人吗？你认为他们会说些什么？
从屏幕视图，文字，手势语及人物面部表情上你可以推测出听力的内容吗？
· 准备：
在做听力前阅读所有听力的任务和听力理解问题。
思考可能的答案。
· 听的过程中：
初次听大概意思，然后听具体的信息。
不要将听力内容翻译成中文。
从背景声音及说话者的语调得到一些话外音及线索。

教师对学习英语的建议
3.1 Learning a Language
· The teacher can show you the language and give you tools to help you learn but you must take the most important step and jump in and practice as much as you can.
· Don’t be afraid to participate, the teacher will create a friendly and open learning environment in which can experiment and try to speak English.
· Set yourself goals, but make them realistic. Congratulate yourself when you reach your goals.
· Don’t expect to understand everything immediately. Be patient, with time and effort the language will slowly become clearer.
· The fact that you’re reading this means you have already made an important step.
· Don’t give up. Imagine if at the age of 18 months, after a few falls, you decide you don’t want to learn to walk!
如何学习一种语言
· 教师可以演示教授你学习的方法来帮助你学习英语，但是最重要的一步必须由你自己来迈出，全身心地投入英语学习并勤加练习;
· 不要害怕，参与进来！老师将为你创造一个友好、开放的学习环境，你可以来感受英语并试着去表达;
· 制定你的学习目标，但是要现实一些。当实现你的目标时不妨庆祝一下;
· 不要期望立刻理解一切。耐心些，随着时间的推移和你的努力，你会渐渐地掌握英语;
· 如果你现在正在看着我们的建议，这已经意味着你迈出了重要的一步;
· 不要放弃。想想你18个月大的时候，跌倒了几次，难道那时你就不想再学走路了么？
3.2 In the Classroom
· Participate in the classes. Speak at every opportunity, with respect for others, of course. Listen to others when they are speaking.
· Be prepared to work with your classmates and to speak with them in English. We call this ‘pair work’ or ‘group work.’ Learning a language is about communicating with everybody.
· Expect to make lots of mistakes. You won’t learn without making mistakes. It’s part of the process. If the teacher sees you making mistakes, they know you are trying, if you are not making mistakes, you are not trying hard enough.
在课堂上如何学英语
· 积极参与到课堂中来。抓住每个机会说英语（当然也要尊重他人）。当别人讲话时，请认真倾听；
· 和你的同学们一起练习，交谈时要使用英语，我们称之谓“对对练”。学语言的目的就是要和别人交流，而不仅仅是与老师交流；
· 不要指望不犯错误。不犯错误你就学不会英语。犯错误也是学习过程的一部分。如果老师看到你的错误，他们知道你正在尝试，如过你从不犯错误，说明你努力的还不够。
3.3 Outside the Classroom
· Participate in the social activities and parties we will be organizing. Practicing outside the classroom is an invaluable opportunity to make the classroom language active.
· You should study at home. There is a fundamental truth… the more time you dedicate, the more you will improve.
· Watch TV (CCTV 9, English language movies and the latest news in English). Have a look at the broadcasting schedules.
· Listen to English language songs. They are a rich source of modern language usage and cultural reference.
· Read authentic English language materials-China Daily and 21st Century newspapers, magazines, books and novels etc.
· Visit English language learning websites. They are full of good ideas for learning and for general English topics.
在课外如何学英语
· 参加我们组织的英语交流活动和晚会。课外练习是不可多得的灵活应用课上语言的机会。
· 在家自学。你投入得越多，你的收获也越多――这是一个真理.
· 观看电视（CCTV9频道，原版电影及英语新闻），可以看下节目预告。
· 听英文歌曲。这是获取现代英语应用及了解西方文化的有效途径。
· 选择较好的英语读物进行阅读，如中国日报、21世纪英文报、英文杂志、小说等。
· 访问并浏览英文网站，有很多好的知识可以学习。
3.4 Learn from Your Mistakes
· Don’t expect to understand everything immediately.
· Fluency first, accuracy second
· Speak …at every opportunity!
· Participate and persist!
· We can show you the pool…Now jump in!
从错误中学习
· 不要期待立刻掌握一切！
· 流畅第一，准确第二；
· 说英语！抓住每一个机会！
· 参与！坚持！
· 我们把知识的海洋展现在你面前，现在跳进来吧！
3.5 Things to Remember
Problem
Solution
Talking about the past
In English you need to change the verb to talk about the past. Ask your teacher for practice opportunities and try to correct yourself and your classmates whenever possible.
Using contractions
Try to use contractions when speaking. These include:
My name’s (My name is)
They’re (They are)
I’d (I would)
Native speakers use contractions all the time, making understanding what they are saying much more difficult. Using contractions will make you more aware of them, improve your comprehension and make your English more natural sounding.
Pronunciation
/v/ /T/ /D/ /Z/
These sounds don’t exist in Chinese and cause many problems for English learners. Try to find out the correct mouth and tongue positions for making these sounds and practice saying words containing them.
特别需要注意的问题
问题点
建议
使用正确的过去时态
在英语中，谈论过去的事情要使用动词的过去时态，在任何可能的时候，抓住机会和你的老师进行对话练习，纠正自己及同学的错误。
使用连读
在讲话时尽量使用连读格式：
My name’s (My name is)
They’re (They are)
I’d (I would)
英语母语国家的人在任何时候都运用连读，了解他们所讲的内容确实比较困难。应用连读将使你更了解他们，并对提升你的理解力及语言的自然性有所帮助。
发音
/v/ /T/ /D/ /Z/
在汉语中找不到这些发音，很多英语初学者为此而困扰。尽量尝试去发现这些发音的正确口型及舌头位置，并通过反复训练来巩固正确的发音。
