Chapter 52 Methods of Learning English

Yi Yang laid down carelessly on Jiang Lili's leather sofa, which was so soft that he almost sank into it.The last time I came here, I didn't have a chance to take a closer look, but this time I observed carefully, and found that the decoration here is full of details, and there is a sense of money everywhere.

He put the peppercorns given by his grandma on the coffee table and asked curiously, "Mr. Jiang, what does your family do?"

"Mom runs a small business, and Dad is a lawyer."

Jiang Lili skipped this topic lightly.

Yi Yang said: "For a talent like Mr. Jiang to come to us as a teacher, it is really a shame."

Jiang Lili said earnestly: "Why is it considered Qu Cai to be a teacher here? What do you think I should do to be regarded as Qu Cai?"

Yi Yang was stunned, he really didn't think deeply about this question, he pondered for a moment, and said: "Well... at least you should stay in a big city... Don't you learn music, there are many things you can do, such as playing Home, star or something."

Jiang Lili shook his head and said: "Society is not what you imagined. Do you think I am very good? Actually not, we belong to a group of people who can play the piano and sing, but there is still a long way to go before performing on stage. If there is a gap, it is even more impossible to be a star. With so many music students, how many of them can be stars? For most music students, it is not bad to be enrolled as a teacher."

While talking, Jiang Lili poured a glass of lemonade, put it in front of Yi Yang, and said, "As for staying in a big city, our best choice is to be a music teacher, but music teachers in big cities, how can there be such a good job?" .”

"Didn't you say that your family made you a civil servant?"

Jiang Lili shook his head: "I can only sing and play the piano. What do I do as a civil servant? Perform for the masses?"

Yi Yang was amused by Jiang Lili's words. When he thought about it seriously, it seemed to be so reasonable, but he couldn't help feeling a little regretful. He felt that a serious student of a music school would always have a talent for being a music teacher in a county like theirs. feel.

"Does Mr. Jiang plan to be a music teacher here all the time?"

"Well... I haven't thought about this yet, let's take it one step at a time. Why, you don't want me to stay here?"

"That's not true, I just feel that Mr. Jiang is a little wronged here."

Jiang Lili laughed, "I'm a big kid, I want to write something I shouldn't worry about every day."

Yi Yang put the English textbook he prepared on the coffee table, and gradually became serious: "Teacher, let's start directly."

Jiang Lili stared at Yi Yang's textbook for a few seconds, showing a strange expression: "You really intend to learn English..."

"of course."

Jiang Lili was a little surprised, then sighed softly, "All right."

While talking, Jiang Lili sat down, took Yi Yang's English book and flipped through it, and said, "English from the first and second grades... I haven't touched it for many years..."

"Mr. Jiang, can you do it?"

"TOEFL 108! Can I still have problems teaching you English in the second grade of junior high school?"

Yi Yang stopped talking.Jiang Lili flipped through the textbook for a while, put the book back, and asked, "I need to confirm your English level first."

"It's just... bad."

Jiang Lili guessed that it was the same, so he scratched his head and said, "Well, let me talk about the basic methods of learning English first, and then I will teach you slowly."

"Ok!"

"English learning, in fact, is mainly to learn three things, vocabulary, grammar, listening and speaking."

"Words are the most important thing. In fact, even if you don't understand a little grammar in junior high school English, you can figure out the meaning of each word and make the questions very complicated. Let me give you an example and a paragraph , the direct translation of each word is, I, drive, car, it one, printed with a red sign... Although the semantics are a bit confusing, you can guess it. This sentence is to express that I drive a car A car with a red badge?"

Yi Yang showed a thoughtful expression.

"So don't be afraid. As long as you can recognize every word, you can start to guess the meaning of the sentence. As long as you roughly guess the meaning, you can choose the answer for many questions."

"So, the first step is to memorize words. Words are the foundation."

"You only need to memorize the vocabulary list in the junior high school English book, and it is enough to get a high score. Don't read those messy junior high school vocabulary, it is unnecessary."

"But after memorizing the vocabulary, you can only guarantee that you can do some of the questions. There are still many questions that are for grammar, so if you want to get a higher score, you must learn grammar."

"How do you learn grammar? The first is to understand. You need to read, read explanations, read example sentences, and understand the meaning of each part of the grammar. The second is to memorize. Just like words, grammar must be memorized. You have to remember it clearly, without being ambiguous at all, especially every exception, every note, and every fixed collocation in the grammar, you have to be as clear as remembering your own name."

Yi Yang began to take notes: "Teacher, speak slowly..."

Jiang Lili looked down at Yi Yang's handwriting, coughed lightly, and continued: "Actually, as long as you do these two steps well, your English score will improve qualitatively. But if you want to advance to At a higher level, even to communicate fluently with foreigners, it is necessary to start practicing listening.”

"Listening exercises are a little weirder than vocabulary grammar... I have thought about this question for a long time, because no one seems to be able to figure out which part of the textbook the listening questions in the test are practiced in. It was not until I took the TOEFL test that I finally understood. How to practice listening, I will teach you for free today!"

Yi Yang was a little excited and nodded quickly.

"Actually... it's still a word! Many words, you can see and recognize them, but you may not be able to hear them when you hear them. That is to say, you can recognize them with your eyes, but you can't recognize them with your ears. Listening, to put it bluntly, is to make your brain recognize Make a connection between the sound of that word and its meaning."

"In other words, when many people hear a word, they first think of the word's appearance, and then associate the meaning with that appearance. , and then know the meaning through the subtitles. So what is the correct way, it should be to hear the voice in English, and you will know the meaning of the word.”

To be honest, even though Jiang Lili had said it clearly, Yi Yang was still a little confused, but he still wrote down Jiang Lili's words seriously.

After a pause, Jiang Lili asked, "By the way, is your English teacher's pronunciation standard?"

Although, although, Yi Yang's English level is poor, but he still watched some English soundtrack movies before rebirth, and he is still very objective in distinguishing standard or not. He said helplessly: "Not standard..."

"Then listen to the original soundtrack and read the words aloud. There are also listening exercises in English textbooks. Listen to them repeatedly. You don't need to write while listening. Make sure you can understand what others are saying. If you don't understand it, come back again. Listen and listen repeatedly until you understand it before moving on to the next sentence.”

After Yi Yang digested it for a while, Jiang Lili said: "Okay, let's start then. I only teach you grammar and problem-solving, vocabulary and listening. You learn by yourself according to the method I taught you."
