笨笨的笨笨egg
【导读】这是回国以后,我被问得最多的问题,在这里我想做个统一回复。
我原来工作的地方在马尔代夫。它不是英语系国家,但由于其发达的旅游业,使得几乎每个马尔代夫人都可以说一口流利的英语。因此在那边我和同事以及马尔代夫人的日常沟通全靠英语。
首先我要简单介绍下我出国前的英语水平。
我从没有上过英语补习班,口语班,所有的英语都是学校里老师教的。大学毕业以后,由于工作上根本也用不着英语,所以我的英语也就渐渐都忘了。
2017年出国的时候,我的英语水平应该和初中生差不多。
那个时候我连公司发的offer上的很多单词都看不懂。我之所以能成功办理签证绝大多数原因是因为我的运气和有道翻译。
为了防止自己在转机的时候出状况,我提前在流利说上学习了一些机场专用名词。事实证明,我的做法是对的。因为新加坡机场太大了,以至于我需要坐有轨电车来转机。
总之,在去马尔代夫工作时,我的英语很差。
刚到马尔代夫的我,一下子栽到了外国人堆里,特别紧张。紧张导致我的语速总是特别快,使得我本就不清楚的口语愈发的让人难以理解。为此我的主管不止一次的和我强调,要我放慢语速,张大嘴巴,尽力争取把每个音发清楚。
不仅如此,同事们口中的很多单词我都听不懂。
所以最初,我和同事之间的沟通基本上全靠蒙和肢体语言。
后来,我就开始刻意模仿英国同事的抑扬顿挫。遇到不知道的单词时,我就翻出手机在线搜索,渐渐的,我的词汇量也就上来了。
再后来,我就成了现在的模样,已经可以流利的和外国人进行日常沟通了。
对于英语口语的练习,我觉得主要有以下两点:
1、大胆
不要怕出错,不要怕丢人,张大嘴巴说就对了,如果有机会的话,最好可以找个外国人练习对话。
2、语言环境
语言环境很重要。但如果你找不到外国人,也没关系,你可以每天看美剧,刚开始的时候你可以跟着字幕发音,后续渐渐的就可以不看字幕复述里面的对话。
时间久了,你的口语也就好了。
今天的英语口语分享就到这了!希望能对你有所帮助!

看来还是有不少同学真心想学好英语啊,好多人看了这个回答来问我《英语语法体系》什么时候出版,现在统一回复一下:我找了出版社,出版社说太短了,要我写到200页以上,可是我不喜欢厚的语法书,我的《英语语法体系》的要点就在于简约,所以暂时还没有谈妥。也有不少同学笼统地问我英语学习方法,我也写了几个回答,请大家看:你有什么相见恨晚的英语学习方法? - Ernest 的回答如何学好英语? - Ernest 的回答另外,我在专栏LanguageFun - 知乎专栏里还有一系列文章,大家也可以参考。以上为原答案:本人英美文学专业,专八、雅思、托福、GRE等考试轻松过,成绩都还不错。以下内容来自个人编写的《英语语法体系》讲义,请勿转载。(一)问题澄清:何谓从句从题目的正文可以看出来题主问的是名词性从句、形容词性从句(定语从句)、副词性从句(状语从句)三类复杂句从句,但是从句的概念不止如此。英语中的从句概念包括:复合句(compound sentence),常称为并列句,指的是用连词连接多个简单句组成的句子。复杂句(complex sentence),也称为从句、主从复合句,用代词、副词、连词把一个简单句作为另外一个简单句的从属成分的句子。两点说明:上面这两种是专业语法的说法,而一般我们说的复杂句其实指的是比较难比较复杂的句子,可能是简单句、复合句或者复合句。要学好语法,首先就要准确定义这些名词,不然会混,很多争论也是从此而来。复合句和复杂句还可以融合为复合复杂句,也称为并列复杂句,不过理解了复合句和复杂句,就不用单独讨论。虽然题主问的只是上面的第二种,即复杂句(complex sentence),但是无邀自答,把这两种一起讲了,因为这两种从句的根本规律是一体的。(二)总起:从句的一般结构从上面的复合句和复杂句的定义就可以看出来,从句都是两个句子连接起来,代词、副词、连词,都笼统地称为引导词,所以从句的一般结构是:简单句1 + 引导词 + 简单句2关键点在引导词上,分述如下:复合句的引导词:连词复杂句的引导词:代词、副词、连词根据引导词能够连接的句子的完整性(即完整句子与不完整句句子),引导词可以分为两类:代词 + 不完整句子(即SVtO缺少S或者缺少O)副词/连词 + 完整句子(即SVO俱全或者SVi不需要O)(三)复合句复合句 = 简单句1 + 并列连词 + 简单句2而并列连词又极其简单,即fanboys + and yet + and so,fanboys即下列连词的首字母缩写:for: I'd better take an umbrella, for it is going to rain.and: He is so handsome and the princess is willing to marry him.nor: The city is not beautiful, nor is it clean.but: I like action movies but she doesn’t like them.or: Take the chance, or you will regret.yet: She walked slowly into the hall and at once noticed that all the room doors were open, yet following her regular practice she had shut them before going out.and yet: She walked slowly into the hall and at once noticed that all the room doors were open, and yet following her regular practice she had shut them before going out.so: It is hard for energetic, quick-minded people to waste time, so they are often tempted to finish a job before setting out to keep an appointment.and so: It is hard for energetic, quick-minded people to waste time, and so they are often tempted to finish a job before setting out to keep an appointment.三点说明:and yet和and so是可以合并的两个连词,其他连词只能用一个(比如and or就不对,and but也不对,当然and/or另当别论。and therefore、and thus等并不是连词合用,因为therefore/thus是副词,所以在and therefore + 简单句2中,therefore只是副词做状语。常见伪连词:thereforehowevermoreover/furthermorenonetheless/neverthelessnotwithstandingthen错误用法句子1, however, 句子2.正确用法1)句子1. However, 句子2.2)句子1; however, 句子2.3)句子1. 句子2第一部分, however, 句子2剩余部分.4)句子1. 句子2, however.(四)复杂句复杂句 = 主句 + 从句 = 简单句1 + 引导词 + 简单句2(划线部分即是从句)复杂句分为三类、六种,上图:(因为形容词性从句只有定语从句一种,副词性从句只有状语从句一种,所以大家习惯的叫法是:名词性从句、定语从句、状语从句,但是从今天起不要了哦,请专业起来哦hahah其实无所谓的)4.1名词性从句名词性从句有四类,上图:名词性从句的一般规律是分两类:that/whether/if + 完整句子特殊疑问词的陈述语序1)先讲主语/宾语/表语从句:that/ whether/ if + 完整句子(注意这里的that是连词)That you are right is a lie.I believe (that) you are right.It is not that you lied to me; it is that you do not regret it at all now.I don’t know whether/ if he is trustworthy.特殊疑问句的陈述语what: What he wants to tell us is not clear.whatever: Whatever he does is not my concern.which: It is still unknown which team will win the match.whichever: I don’t care whichever team will win the match.who: Who will win the match is still unknown.whoever: Whoever leaves the room last ought to turn off the lightswhom: I don’t know whom he gave that ring to.whomever: I don’t care whomever he gave that ring to.where: Where the English evening will be held has not yet been announced.wherever: Wherever the English evening will be held is not my business.when: I hate it when they speak with their mouths full of food.(it是形式宾语)whenever: Whenever they speak with their mouths full of food is a pain for me.whose: Please tell me whose umbrella this is.whosever: Whosever umbrella this is is not my business.how: It is known to us how he became a writer.however: However he became a writer is his own secret.why: I still don’t understand why he chose to betray me.2)再讲同位语从句:同位语从句 = 抽象名词 + 主/宾/表从句 = 抽象名词 + 引导词 + 同位句抽象名词概括同位句,同位句解释抽象名词抽象名词:fact/ idea/ news/ information/ order/ belief/ advice/ suggestion引导词that(注意这里的that是连词)The girls were surprised at the fact that ocean ships can sail up the Great Lakes.The idea that you can do this work well without thinking is quite wrong.There was a suggestion that Brown should be dropped from the team.He grabbed his suitcase and gave the impression that he was boarding the Tokyo plane.The thought came to him that maybe the enemy had fled the city.引导词whetherThe question whether we should call in a specialist was answered by the family doctor.特殊疑问词引导词what/ who/ whom/ whose/ when/ where/ how/ whyI have no idea what size she wears.The question who will take his place is still not clear.We haven’t yet settled the question where we are going to spend our summer vacation.4.2形容词性从句即定语从句,引导词在国内的语法教育中常称为关系词,分两类:关系代词that/ which/ who/ whom/ whose + 不完整句子It’s the only one that I’ve left.He is the man whom/ that I saw yesterday.Is he the man who/that wants to see you?They rushed over to help the man whose car had broken down.关系副词when/ where/ why + 完整句子There are occasions when (on which) one must yield.Beijing is the place where (in which) I was born.Is this the reason why (for which) he refused our offer?4.3副词性从句即状语从句,状语从句的引导词只有副词和连词,所以只能引导完整句子,一般按意义分为9类:时间:When the dry desert ends, the green grass grows.地点:Where there is a will, there is a way.原因:Collecting provides relaxation for leisure hours, as just looking at one’s treasures is always a joy.目的:Such a plan should be carried out so that the goal of education could be better met.(注意这里的that是连词)结果:Youth is so wonderful that it is a crime to waste it.(注意这里的that是连词)条件;If the economy still develops at present way, the environment will be getting worse and worse.让步:Although advertisements are never without disadvantages, their advantages carry more weight.比较:The more we study, the better we understand life. (The + 比较级…, the + 比较级…)方式:If we cannot do as we would, we must do as we can.(五)结论去除上面所有的例子,可以看得出来从句,不论是复合句还是复杂句都是极其简单的,不过本人也是在英语专业的三年级才完全理解透彻,之前总是被老师给讲晕了,所以一个好老师是多么重要啊,比如我(hahah)。结论如下:从句 = 复合句/复杂句主句 + 从句 = 简单句1做主句 + 引导词 + 简单句2(划线部分即从句)复合句 = 简单句1 + 并列连词 + 简单句2并列连词只有七个:fanboys,and yet、and so可以合用复杂句 = 简单句1 + 引导词 + 简单句2代词引导词 + 不完整句子副词/连词引导词 + 完整句子名词性从句有两类:that/whether/if + 完整句子特殊疑问词的陈述语气形容词行从句有两类:关系代词 + 不完整句子关系副词 + 完整句子状语从句只有一类:副词/连词 + 完整句子相关回答:你有什么相见恨晚的英语学习方法? - Ernest 的回答如何学好英语? - Ernest 的回答
