艺术边上观望
在听力练习的过程中,我们应该把握这个流程:首先了解总体思路,然后掌握英语语音语调,最后学习单词和语法。主要给大家分享英语听力不行选什么材料听,希望对你们有帮助!材料不在多,在于你能否真正掌握它们。我们总是习惯于购买许多材料,但最终发现并非每本书都会从头到尾阅读。因此,强烈建议大家不要购买太多的听力材料。 最好的英语听力材料是VOA、BBC、CRI等。首先,初学者可以从VOA Special English开始,因为VOA是最纯正的英语之一。 不管大家是听磁带还是网上听,第一遍,泛听,放松大脑,先掌握整体的意思。 很多人说听不懂,很多词不认识等等,事实上,是因为没有适应英语节奏;第二遍,精听。这时,主动把句子联系起来,弄清楚新闻的意思,包括新闻的一些细节;第三遍,可以对照原文进行精听。这时,应该模仿每个单词的发音、每个句子的语音语调、连读、专业词汇的使用以及整篇文章的节奏。如果还听不懂,多听一遍;最后一步是用自己的语言复述这篇文章的意思。其次,多掌握听力背景知识。例如,VOA新闻中经常出现专有名词,包括一些地名、国家名称和一些英语俚语、习语和惯用语等。如果不熟悉这些单词,在听的时候就无法理解它们,这将影响听力的连续性,导致听不懂的情况。再次,在听力练习的过程中,我们应该把握这个流程:首先了解总体思路,然后掌握英语语音语调,最后学习单词和语法。按照 这种方式反复练习将大大提高英语听力水平,并且更容易与外国人面对面交流。最后,通过收看英语节目和英文电影、英文歌曲提高听力水平。这些年来,我养成了有事没事就会收看CCTV9的习惯。看新闻很难,新闻中有许多专业词汇,而且语速相对较快。因此,如果你是初学者,不要担心,因为你不了解新闻,听不懂它是正常的,你可以有选择地观看。我经常看的是UP-COLSE,这是一个对话节目,里面经常邀请一些嘉宾来对话。这个节目对练习听和说非常有帮助,当然,其他节目也不错,比如季小军的culture express、杨瑞的dailogue。CCTV-9有很多不同口音的英语,经常观看也有助于我们熟悉不同国家的英语发音,对实际交流非常有帮助。

At a gathering of students from China and some other countries,Yang Weiping and Virginia Wang, both first-year college students,are talking about their learning of English.
Hello, my name is Yang Weiping.I'm a freshman at Peking University and I'm majoring in chemistry.At college we have to study a foreign language.I choose English because I like listening to English programs on the radio and TV.I also like British and American pop songs.Some day I hope to visit Britain and the United States.I started learning English several years ago and I'm getting better at it.My favorite activity is listening,especially listening to songs and stories.My big problem is, however, speaking.I feel nervous whenever I speak.And I never seem to know what to say when people talk to me.But I've decided to overcome my shyness and learn to speak English by speaking as much as I can.
Hi, my name is Virginia Wang.I'm a library science major at the National University of Singapore.In our country, English is important.It is one of the official languages and you have to be fluent in English to get a good job.I've been studying English since high school.I'm good at reading because I like learning about new things and new ideas.There are so many books and articles written in English.Our textbooks at the university are in English, too.I know writing is also very important,but I find it really difficult.When I graduate from the
university,I would like a job in the city library where I can read all kinds of new books.
Questions
1. Which of the following would be the best title for the two talks?
2. Who are the speakers?
I find listening most difficult,because I worry about the words I don't know.Now I'm trying to focus on the general idea,not worrying about the new words.This makes me feel good,because I know I've understood something.Then, I listen again carefully and if I have any problems I play the difficult parts again.In this way I come to understand better both the main idea and the details of the listening text.
