考拉小巫的英语学习日记

全文共 1670 字

+ 加入清单

大概在五六年前,有一本《考拉小巫的英语学习日记》的书横扫几大论坛,好评如潮,销量达百万册。作者叫考拉小巫,是伊甸园字幕组组长,写书的时候已经逆袭成功,到美国求学。

这本书在豆瓣上的评价很高,万人以上评价,评分8.1,相当不错的成绩。这本书即是一本收录了她实战经验的外语学习招法集,也是她自我的回忆录,一部从差生到优生的奋斗史和逆袭史。考拉小巫本科不是特别好,后来通过努力,出国留学,攻下硕士学位。作者考拉小巫在整本书中都流露出一种真实的态度,行就行,不行就不行。阅读整本书就感觉在和读者的内心进行一次真诚的对话。看他人的人生,用于反思自己。几年前我也读过,几年后重读此书,自然也有一些新的感悟。

关于坚持

现在最新的成功学都提到了一件事,就是专注加坚持,尤其是坚持。我们中大多数人的努力其实都没有达到需要拼天赋的程度。什么时候才是拼天赋的时候?梅西和C罗那个层次,天赋才可能会起到决定性作用,不要忘记C罗是一个极度自律的人,他走向人生巅峰绝对于此不无关系。

考拉小巫在自己的书中里面无数次提到她自创的“傻子哲学”。她说“傻子为什么能成功,因为他很傻,不管做不做成他都一直在坚持”。很多人学外语可能最多两个月就坚持不下去了,我想说,母语者以高负荷的方式训练了几十年的技能,你一业余选手凭什么和人家比。

关于发音和模仿

她在书中着重强调了是语调问题。这个问题是绝大多数中国英语学习者忽略了的问题。因为汉语是声调语言,单个字的声调以固定频率的形式出现,所以句子的语调基本是平的。很多外语学习者可能不知道,英语语调有传递情绪的功能,语调变化甚至能传递说话人的潜台词,比如:反语、讽刺、犹豫、建议等等。错误的语调会让听话人疑惑。考拉小巫的纠正方法是录音,和原文对比。不过几年之后的今天有简单的解决办法,下个配音软件,一切就OK了。

光比对原声不行,还得改善,考拉小巫的方式简单粗暴,就两个字——模仿。

口语自我修炼法

考拉小巫用方法的核心和十二国外语大神本尼·刘易斯的“一分钟迷你讲话稿”不谋而合。也是准备一些小的短文,从向对方描述自己的一天,从这些简单的开始,慢慢加大难度,用口语去形容一个事物和形容一个人物。后面开始甚至还要求举实例论证,最后是现学现用,把学过的词马上使用起来。

隐藏的听写大法

考拉小巫有字幕组的经历,我认为这可能是她英语突飞猛进的一个关键因素。她在做电影字幕,很多时候有听译,听译实际上我们平时的听写是差不多的,而且字幕是要见人的,所以从头到尾容不得一点马虎,可以说,考拉小巫在强迫自己一次一次做高强度听写+理解输出。而且在听译这么多电影的过程中,她一定大量有反复听同一电影的经历。所以,她被她嚼烂了的电影的量,甚至高过一部分人泛读的量。精听精读是提高技能的一个关键步骤,如果她精听的量超过了普通人精读的量,那么我们有理由相信,她至少在接收信息这一方面,有了很大的提高。

关于词汇量的论述

在这本书中,考拉小巫研究来研究去,最后发现影响阅读速度的第一大天敌还是词汇量的问题。她引用了一句话说:“GRE的单词是有用的,在美国读研究生的时候自然就知道了”。

被忽视的机械练习

现在我们提得最多的是刻意练习,学外语都想到的是克拉申、交际法等等。殊不知刻意练习的基础是机械练习,习得一切复杂技能的基础也是机械练习。没有把单个子技能练到炉火纯青,是逃不出舒适区的,更不用说把各个子技能最后串联起来,形成我们所说的技能。考拉小巫说她初中一个吴姓老师奉行fifty

times,就是简单重复50次,我比较赞同这种观点,大量的重复有助于深层次的机械及肌肉及本能记忆。

与高手过招

与高手过招

从初级走向高级的精进之路

精进之路只有一条,坚持,拓展。不过注意到下面这几点,可能会拓展得快一点。

第一,适当接触一些方言和非标准口音。

第二,逐渐积累俚语。

第三,扩充自己的知识面,其中以母语所在国的文化最为重要!

最后呢,考拉小巫还分享了很多小技巧,包括应试、申请材料等很现实的东西。如果想简单点可以直接先照搬她的计划,再适当调整。

篇1:小学生英语日记格式

全文共 1449 字

+ 加入清单

我们写日记的时候要注意格式,下面是关于小学英语日记格式,希望对您有帮助~

1. 日记写作格式

英语日记的格式与中文日记大体一样。英语日记通常由两部分组成,即书端和正文。

英语日记的第一行,要写明年、月、日与星期,然后要写明当天的气候状况,日期通常顶格写,后面是星期,天气状况写在右上角。如果是游记,还要写明地点。

Sunny, clear 晴 shower 阵雨

Cloudy 多云 heavy rain 大雨

Light rain 小雨 drizzle 毛毛雨

Overcast 阴 cold 冷天

2. 英语日记的写作文体

英语日记正文可以是叙事、描述、说明、议论等各种形式。其实,由于日记是非常随便的,因此上述文体常常结合在一起使用。英语日记内容取自生活,可长可短,有时无事可记,一两句也可以。写日记贵在坚持,不可断断续续地几天写一篇,那样起不到学习英语的效果。另外,英语日记也应该尽可能讲究一些文采,切忌写成流水账。初学者只要能写出完整并符合语法要求的句子就很难得,所以文采要求是次要的。而对于高中及其以上程度的英语学习者来说,就要求不单要语法正确,而且对句法、选词、谋篇布局等都有较高的要求。

3. 时态

写日记的时间一般是在下午或晚上,有时也有在第二天补记。所记叙的事情通常发生在过去,所以常用一般过去时。但如果要记叙天气、描写景色、展望未来、议论某事或对话引语等,可以使用一般现在时或一般将来时,以生动再现当时的情景。

4. 养成积累词语的习惯

日记是对生活中方方面面的事情的描述和感想的表达,所以写日记要用到单词面很广,这就要求英语学习者在平时要养成积累单词的好习惯,而把记忆的单词运用到日记中更是起到温故作用。值得注意的是,在写日记时,我们都会遇到很多不会写的单词。这时千万不要就此止步,而要先空出来,或者用拼音代替,等一篇日记写完了再查词典不上所缺的单词,并且重点记忆这些单词。这是通过这样的方式,我们才能更快地积累单词和提高英语水平。

5. 英语日记中的缩写与省略

英语写作中经常会有缩略语,比如:Nov. / November. Apr. / April

eg / For example 等各种形式的缩略语。

建议初学者不要用这些缩略语,因为初学者对单词的熟悉程度还不是很高,要不断的应用学过的单词才能记得牢,记得准。

最后需要一提的是,英语日记习惯一年一本,因此日期不必写年份,而只是在每年一本的日记本封面上或者在日记的第一页和最后一页加以注明即可。

6.范文:

May 30, xxxx Friday Sunny

In our class, every student has a big kettle (水壶). But sometimes there is no water in some kettles. My friend Mike and I often fill1 them with water.

Every day at lunchtime, we take lots of kettles downstairs. We run from the sixth floor to the first floor. The kettles are heavy. But we are happy. It’s fun to help others. At the same time, we get closer with our classmates by helping each other.

——题记

在一个阳光明媚的清晨,我早早地赶到了快乐作文——今天可是暑期作文班的第一天啊!满怀兴奋与激动的我推开了教室的门。“老师好!”“哟!王祎今天来得挺早呀!”听了老师的夸奖,我心里就跟吃了蜜似的。走进熟悉的教室,就看见了好久不见的两名同学。“呀!王祎来了!”“王祎,我可想死你了!”同学们的热情把我都弄懵了。

终于,同学们都到齐了,陈老师也开口了:“今天我们要竞选班委会……”话音未落,同学们就议论开了,整个班都炸开了锅。等班上的嘈杂平定下来后,我们开始竞选班长了。

“谁先来?”陈老师发问。上去?不行!说错话了可完蛋了。不去?可我一直都希望有一个展示自我的机会啊!正在我愁眉不展的时候,陈老师发下了圣旨:“要不然王祎先上来试试?”这分明就是个反问句嘛!我吓得腿儿都软了。可师命不敢违呀!我只好硬着头皮,拖着两条灌了铅一样的腿,一步三顿地挪上了讲台。说什么?我只好把在学校升旗仪式上的演讲搬了出来:“敬爱的老师,亲爱的同学们,大家好……”

终于讲完了,我长长地吐了一口大气。我本以为这次驴唇不对马嘴的演讲过后同学们会一下子把我打下去,可相反,他们竟然还报以雷鸣般的掌声!我羞得脸都发烧了。最终,通过我的努力和同学们公平公正的选举,我终于羸得了“副班长”这个职位。

在成长班,我成长了。我懂得了只有自已付出,自已努力,自己耕耘,才能获得成功。

篇7:高一军训心得日记

如果军训是一座巍峨的大山,那永不放弃攀登高峰的是我。

如果军训时一条湍急的河流,那不畏艰险勇往直前的是我。

军训的生活是辛苦的,我和同学们顶着酷热的骄阳,在操场上反复操练着那几个基本动作,挥汗如雨;不但辛苦,甚至有些乏味。虽说辛苦,我却学会了苦中作乐,与新认识的朋友们在有限的休息时间里相互间谈天说笑,获得了无限乐趣,这减轻了不少训练带来的疲惫。虽说乏味,却让我深刻地理解了军人们在“国庆大阅兵”时那整齐化一的步伐,震撼天地的气势就是通过平日勤训苦练这些“乏味”的动作而得来的;勤训苦练,反复练习,才能出成绩,这正是“台上一分钟,台下十年功”。

军训不仅磨练了我的体能,更锻炼了我的独立能力。第一次离开家人,离开舒适的家,进入集体开始宿舍生活,开始了“自力更生”的生活。“自己的事情自己做”这句从小妈妈教导我的话,在这次军训中才得以全面实施。虽说有些习惯,有些不适应,但我有了“独立能力”这笔财富作为补偿;这能力将帮助我更健康地成长。

七天的军训结束了,我们以优异的军训成果展示回报了和蔼可亲、关爱我们的教官。当汽车载着我们的教官远去的时候,我们的眼里噙满了泪水,那是一种美好的回忆,那是一种深深的思念,那也是一种无限的期盼,我们不会辜负教官、老师对我们的谆谆教诲,美好的明天是属于我们的!

when I took it up. Now the first thing I have to hasten to do is to write to you

these few lines to express my deep regret.

I enjoyed many pleasant sights during my trip. I shall be pleased to give

Some people say, “Money is more important than time。” Some say, “We can buy

everything with money。” For some people, money is everything。 They think they

can buy everything they want, including time。 Do you think so? No。 I don’t think

so。 Because when money is spent, we can get it back。 However, when time has

gone, it will never return。 Nevertheless many of us always waste time and put

off today’s work till tomorrow。

In fact, time is more important than money and time never stops for anyone

or anything。 For everyone, time is so limited that if we waste our precious

time, we won’t get it back。 Therefore, we should save every second we own and

make full use of our time to study hard。 The harder we work now, the more we

will get in future!

Let’s save time together!

今天下午,黄校长聚集了我们和南通师范的实习生开了一个小型会议。虽说主题只是围绕如何制作好一份儿简报,但我真的很受益匪浅,至少说我以前在这方面的知识是空白的。

黄校长围绕我们的见实习,提出了他自己的建议。如樟园印迹、校园观察行等版块,并一一为我们阐述了他的设计理念。这让我意识到,简报的设计原来是如此的有学问。

另外,黄校长还用七句话给我们总结了出简报的准则。我在此特作摘抄,留作学习。刊头设计形成系列,统筹组稿适时装满,拟定标题变换字体,控制字数及时增减,统一版式疏密有致,图文并茂以文为主,书面校对复制有方等。

总之,出好一份简报是一门学问,而且还是门大学问。

更重要的是,从出简报这种说小不小、说大不大的事情看出。要做好教育这项事业,要修的学问有很多很多,而且还要修好他们。就说简报,需要你的设计观、你的统筹观、你的组织观,你的文学造诣等等。更直接一点儿,你对现代信息技术基本能力的掌握,都起着举足轻重的作用。

我明白了,当好一名教师,不需要你是一名专才,而需要你成为一名全才。以后,要努力的方向多了。

过年喽!过年喽!家家户户都忙着贴春联,放鞭炮,好不热闹!

我家也不例外,爸爸忙着贴春联。你瞧,上联是春安夏太,下联是秋吉冬祥。忽然我看见爸爸把福贴倒了,我忙喊:“福倒啦,福倒啦。”我这才恍然大悟,原先福倒了就是福到了的谐音啊!!!

贴完了春联,该吃年夜饭了,我坐在饭桌旁,看着这些美味家肴,垂涎三尺。最后开饭了,我狼吞虎咽,好不费力气就把一碗饭消灭了,大家看着我这狼狈样,哈哈大笑。该敬酒了,我端起酒杯对爷爷说“祝您福如东海长流水。”之后我又祝奶奶寿比南山不老松。然后我学着大人的样貌,喝一口,咂砸嘴,好酒好酒。爷爷笑呵呵地说:“我们的小乖孙子长大了,会用对联了。”奶奶脸上笑得乐开了花,说:“祝我们的小孙子学习进步,天天向上。”

吃完年夜饭,我们心满意足的离看饭桌。来到了院子,就看见夜空被好多烟花划破,真是比星星还亮啊!爸爸也搬出了花炮和许多的烟花,爸爸顺手拿起了一个窜天猴,嘭,啪,说时迟,那是快,窜天猴直奔夜空,顿时变成了一朵美丽的烟花,飘向了银河……我也手痒的拿了一个小闪光棒,不停的摇转,散出了无数的小星星……突然一个烟花哑了,过了1,2分钟还没炸,爸爸不耐烦了,拿起竹杆就捅,可竹杆刚碰到花炮,就突然炸了,爸爸的眼镜吓得滑了下来,我看到爸爸这样貌,笑得人仰马翻。同时,我也记住:笑归笑,乐归乐,但要记住安全。

放完鞭炮该爬门了,听说这样会长高,我每年都爬门。炮放过了,门也爬了,该拿红包了,爷爷给了我一个红包,神秘的对我说:“必须要放在枕头下哦,这样能够给你带来好运!”

该回家了,我和爷爷奶奶一一告别。一路的烟花照亮了我们回家的路……

全文共 2462 字

Each year, people burn or cut down 143,000 square kilometers (55,000 square

miles) of the forest. People who burn or cut down trees do it for different

reasons: farmers cut down trees in order to get more fertilize lands to grow

rice or vegetables, and use the woods as fuel. Timber companies cut down trees

and turn them into furniture or paper productions. As to goal miners, they

remove the forests to find out whether there are goal underground.

However, many of us fail to realize that forests are the lungs of the

earth. When we cut down trees, we also push ourselves in to a dangerous

situation. That is the global warming. When you come to think about it, there

are only few ways to solve these negative effects: stop cutting down trees

blindly; try to find some clear energy that can replace oil and coal. But these

solutions can be impractical to some degreed.

Why trees can be so important to the whole nature? First of all, trees are

the habitat of many animals. When we cut down trees, we not only destroy

animals’ habitats but also ourselves. We just gradually destroy natural links.

The result is that many spices of animals and plants are dying out. Secondly,

cutting down trees cause global warming, to some degree. Naturalists compare

forest to human’s lungs. The forests absorb the carbon dioxide and other gas

that cause global warming, and then give off the oxygen that good for the human

beings and other living creatures. It’s refreshed the air as well as reduced the

noise. If the air quality is bad, people may die from cancers, or the new

diseases for which they have no immunity. Forests also play an important role in

the prevention of natural disasters. Warmer temperatures cause water to expand

and also create more water by melting polar ice caps. That’s to say, the nations

which near the ocean may have been flooded by the water. But the forests can

prevent water loss and soil erosion, and cool off the global temperatures. It’s

the key to keep the balance of the nature.

Sometimes people only care about money making; they don’t care about the

price we pay for the pollution. When the disaster is around the corner, we may

be afraid and frustrated. The earth, on which our economies have always been

based, is suddenly threatening our existence. All we hope that is this

overpopulated, over industrialized planet can carry on for a longer time. And

maybe, it’s time for us to realize that we should protect the earth, stop

cutting down trees blindly and madly.

The tomb sweeping day is one of the traditional festivals in China. On April 5th, people start to visit their ancestors’ tombs. Generally speaking, people will bring the home-made food, some fake money and paper-made mansion to their ancestors. When they start to honour their ancestor, they will light up some candles and incense, put some flowers around the tombs.

The most important thing is to put the home-made food in front of the tombs. The food, also known as sacrifices, is usually made up with a chicken, a fish and some pork. It’s a symbol of the offspring’s respect to the ancestors. People believe that the forbears will share the food with them. The children dedicate the food and money to their forbears in order to show their love and caring. The young offspring will go down on their knees and pray for their ancestors. They can say their wishes in front of the tombs and the ancestors will make their dreams come true.

In some provinces of China, people use different activities to commemorate this day, for instance, spring-outing, swinging, tree planting and making special food. One special food is Ay Tsao rice balls. It looks like Tang-yuan, but its colour is green. Mix the ay tsao juice with the rice powder, then make it into small balls. The Ay Tsao rice ball is done. People believe that eating ay tsao rice balls can get rid of the bad luck and everything will go smoothly. Other activities such as spring outing, tree planting are the other ways to commemorate the forbears. For one thing, it is a sign that people should look into the future and embrace the hope; for another thing, we do hope our ancestor rest in peace.
