能否做到不想母语就能脱口说好英语
讲述者：郑新民教授，哲学博士（PhD）
dear listeners, I am Xinmin broadcasting from Shanghai. Welcome back to Zheng Xinmin WeChat Programme. Today, we're going to talk about a topic that might have something to do with you or arouse your interest, that is, as a beginner, how you can speak English without thinking Chinese in your mind. It is pretty hard, isn't it?Well, probably, just like many other English learners, you might think if you want to achieve that goal, what you need to do is to read a lot, listen a lot and watch a lot. Eventually, you'll be able to speak fluently. But, to tell you the truth, doing all these is NOT enough. I think practising speaking a lot is what you mostly need to do!
Why so? Well, as a matter of fact, speaking is one of the five language skills that are found at the core of every English teaching practice. They are speaking, listening, reading, writing and grammaring. Therefore, it is one of the first things that learners need to do first. Indeed, speaking requires a complex interactive skill. There are several components that should be focused on when you come to use this particular skill, especially when you speak in the natural setting to express yourself.As a beginner, I think it might be OK for you to think more in Chinese than English during the early stage. But, to think in English is definitely a decision that you're gonna make if you want to speak it fluently. If you can't get rid of thinking in Chinese when you speak English, you'll never make your English natural or authentic.
Now, let's come to the solution as how you can speak English without thinking in Chinese. Well, let me make a comparison like this: in your brain, there are two, or probably more than two languages. Let's imagine these
languages as muscles. In fact, you've
been exercising your Chinese muscle in your brain all your life, therefore, it's much stronger.But now you've got to build up your English muscle by doing constant and regular exercises. You understand what I meant? Yes, you've got to keep exercising your English muscle time and again, that's to say, you've got to keep on practising English as much as you can. That's easy and simple, isn't it?To conclude today's propramme, it is normal for babies and children to learn speaking
first, and then become fluent, after that they start reading, then writing. So as an English learner, the natural
order is listening, speaking, reading, then writing. Please just keep on listening and speaking untill one day you'll certainly realize that you can speak English fluently without thinking in Chinese. Good luck! That's all for today and see you next time.
