把所有注意力集中在背單詞上，在整個英語學習中只是一個非常短暫的過程褐筛，隨著詞匯量不斷積累，我們需要做的是邊閱讀邊學詞倦青，即通過短語或者是句子學習單詞祭饭。

如果你背了大量的單詞芜茵，卻發(fā)現(xiàn)自己的口語進入了瓶頸期，或者你并不確定自己是不是進入了瓶頸期倡蝙，簡單三步測試病癥九串。

癥狀① 單純地背誦單詞而不是學習單詞

背誦單詞更像是批量式任務式的學習，為了考試去從頭到尾的去背寺鸥、而不是從學習角度去記的猪钮，所以很快就會忘了。

癥狀② 脫離上下文的詞匯

我們在背單詞的時候基本上就只會看到它的拼寫胆建，詞義烤低，發(fā)音，詞性笆载。然而這些詞匯是死的扑馁，有種學無所用的挫敗感，原因在于這個單詞前不著村后不著店凉驻，我們根本不知道這個詞怎么用腻要，導致我們只能現(xiàn)場拼奏出來。背單詞處于孤立的一種狀態(tài)涝登。

癥狀③ 盲目地擴充詞匯量不等于高效的詞匯學習

有多少人在背誦單詞的時候會給詞匯分類：1. 俚語詞匯闯第； 2. 正式詞匯；3. 口語詞匯缀拭。

俚語詞匯是地道外國人實用的詞匯咳短，如果你的水平不錯了，可以嘗試一下蛛淋，進一步提高自己咙好。

正式詞匯會在比較正式的場合，比如新聞褐荷，論文勾效，期刊當中出現(xiàn)，例如use 就是一個口語詞匯叛甫，但在官方中我們就得用utilize.

口語詞匯层宫，很多人會用一些看起來很高大上的詞語，殊不知其监，最后會是一種這樣的狀態(tài)萌腿，口語聽起來像寫作，寫作看起來像口語抖苦。

舉一個例子：Form my perspective view, technology is a very important element in the development of our society.

我認為科技在我們整個社會發(fā)展中是一個很重要的元素毁菱。

這個不叫口語，這些看起來高大上的詞匯反而會讓人覺得很奇怪锌历。這句話用口語表達應該是這樣：Technology drives the society forward.

如果你出現(xiàn)了上述癥狀贮庞，那么恭喜你，你肯定是不小心走入了迷宮究西，我們要時刻盯防你誤入“歧途”窗慎，特意向歪果仁請教，給你一貼卤材，讓你對癥下藥遮斥，看看你是跌倒在哪兒，爬不起來了商膊？

1．Don't study grammar too much

不要過多學習語法

This rule might sound strange to many ESL students, but it is one of the most important rules. If you want to pass examinations, then study grammar. However, if you want to become fluent in English, then you should try to learn English without studying the grammar.

對于許多ESL（英語作為第二語言）學生伏伐，這條規(guī)則聽起來很奇怪，但它是最重要的規(guī)則之一晕拆。如果你想要通過考試藐翎，那就學習語法。然而实幕，如果你想要把英語說的更流利吝镣，那么你應該嘗試學習英語這門語言而不學習語法。

Studying grammar will only slow you down and confuse you. You will think about the rules when creating sentences instead of naturally saying a sentence like a native. Remember that only a small fraction of English speakers know more than 20% of all the grammar rules. Many ESL students know more grammar than native speakers.

學習語法會讓你慢下來昆庇，把你弄糊涂末贾。在構(gòu)建句子的時候，你會去思考規(guī)則整吆，而不是像本國人一樣自然而然的說出一個句子拱撵。要知道辉川，只有很小一部分的英語使用者知道超過20%的英語語法規(guī)則。許多ESL學生知道的語法其實要比本國人更多拴测。

2．Learn and study phrases

學習和研究短語

Many students learn vocabulary and try to put many words together to create a proper sentence. It amazes me how many words some of my students know, but they cannot create a proper sentence.

很多學生學習詞匯乓旗，并嘗試把很多單詞在一起以構(gòu)建一個恰當?shù)木渥印W生們的單詞量讓我很意外集索，但是要構(gòu)建一個正確的句子對他們來說卻很難屿愚。

If you know 1000 words, you might not be able to say one correct sentence. But if you know 1 phrase, you can make hundreds of correct sentences. When you know only 1000 phrases, you will be almost a fluent English speaker.

如果你知道1000個單詞，你可能不一定能夠說一個正確的句子务荆。但如果你知道1個短語妆距，你可以說數(shù)百個正確的句子。當你知道只有1000個短語函匕，你就能說流利的英語了娱据。

3. Don't translate

不要翻譯

When you want to create an English sentence, do not translate the words from your Mother tongue. The order of words is probably completely different and you will be both slow and incorrect by doing this.

當你想構(gòu)建一個英語句子的時候，不要嘗試著從母語翻譯句子浦箱。兩種語言的詞序有可能不同吸耿，如果嘗試翻譯，就很有可能出錯酷窥。

Problem

Isn't it strange that schools across the world teach reading first, then writing, then listening, and finally speaking? Although it is different, the main reason is because when you learn a second language, you need to read material to understand and learn it. So even though the natural order is listening, speaking, reading, then writing, the order for ESL students is reading, listening, speaking, then writing. Speak out loud the material you are listening to and practice what you hear. Practice speaking out loud until your mouth and brain can do it without any effort. By doing so, you will be able to speak English fluently.

全世界的學校的教學順序都是這樣的：閱讀咽安，寫作，然后再是聽力蓬推，最后是寫作妆棒。這真的讓人感覺到奇怪。雖然有特例沸伏，但是這其中最主要的原因還是因為當學第二外語的時候糕珊，你需要首先閱讀一些材料，然后在去理解和學習它毅糟。所以即使自然的秩序是聽红选、說、讀姆另，然后寫作喇肋，但是ESL學生的順序是閱讀、聽力迹辐、然后寫蝶防。把聽到的材料大聲說出來，再練習明吩。練習的時候要大聲间学，直到你的大腦和嘴巴能對英語信手拈來。通過這樣做，你將能夠流利地說英語低葫。

4. Submerge yourself

讓自己完全浸入

Being able to speak a language is not related to how smart you are. You don't have to go anywhere to become a fluent English speaker. You only need to surround yourself with English. You can do this by making rules with your existing friends that you will only speak English. You can also carry around an iPod and constantly listen to English sentences. As you can see, you can achieve results by changing what your surroundings are. Submerge yourself in English and you will learn several times faster.

能否講一種語言详羡，和你是否聰明無關。要想能夠流利說英語氮采，你并不是非得去某個地方殷绍。只要你能夠被英語圍繞就行。要達到這種效果鹊漠，你可以和你現(xiàn)在的朋友約定只說英語。你可以還隨身攜帶一臺iPod茶行，不斷地聽英語句子躯概。正如你所看到的，您可以通過改變你周圍的環(huán)境實現(xiàn)預想的效果畔师。讓自己沉浸在英語當中娶靡，你將會學得快幾倍。

5. Study correct material

使用正確的學習材料

A common phrase that is incorrect is, "Practice makes perfect." This is far from the truth. Practice only makes what you are practicing permanent. If you practice the incorrect sentence, you will have perfected saying the sentence incorrectly. Therefore, it is important that you study material that is commonly used by most people.

有句話可能有失偏頗：“熟能生巧”看锉。練習只能讓你永遠停留在練習姿锭。如果你練習一個不正確的句子，那么你還會一直不正確下去伯铣。因此呻此，你必須選擇大多數(shù)人選用的材料。
