多數(shù)情況英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)最終都會(huì)歸結(jié)為如何說(shuō)英語(yǔ)。雖然學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)還有別的目標(biāo)，但是學(xué)會(huì)說(shuō)英語(yǔ)不僅可以使你能與他人溝通，還能讓你在托福、托業(yè)、雅思、劍橋等等英語(yǔ)考試中取得高分。要學(xué)會(huì)說(shuō)英語(yǔ)，你需要一個(gè)計(jì)劃。這篇指南提供一個(gè)大綱，供你學(xué)習(xí)說(shuō)英語(yǔ)之用。如果你已經(jīng)會(huì)說(shuō)一點(diǎn)英語(yǔ)，這篇指南可以讓你更快地提高英語(yǔ)口語(yǔ)水平。

難度水平：中等

時(shí)間要求：半年至三年

Here's How:具體怎么做：

Discover Which Type Of English Learner You Are
弄清自己是什么類(lèi)型的學(xué)習(xí)者

When learning how to speak English you first need to find out what type of English learner you are. Ask yourself questions such as Why do I want to speak English? Do I need to speak English for my job? Do I want to speak English for travel and hobbies, or do I have something more serious in mind? find out.
學(xué)英語(yǔ)時(shí)你首先應(yīng)認(rèn)清自己是什么類(lèi)型的學(xué)習(xí)者。問(wèn)問(wèn)自己：為什么我想學(xué)英語(yǔ)？我在工作上要用到英語(yǔ)嗎？我是為了旅游或者愛(ài)好學(xué)英語(yǔ)嗎？我心里是不是有一些更嚴(yán)肅認(rèn)真的想法呢？

Understand Your Goals
了解你的目標(biāo)

Once you know what type of English learner you are, you can begin to better understand your goals. Once you know your goals, you'll better understand what you need to do to speak English well. This is similar to understanding?what type learner?you are. Write down a list of the things you would like to do with your English. Would you like to speak English fluently in two years? Would you like to have enough English to travel and order food in a restaurant? Understanding exactly what you want to do with English will help you learn how to speak English because you will work towards your goals.
一旦你認(rèn)清了自己是什么類(lèi)型的學(xué)習(xí)者，你可以更好地了解你的目標(biāo)。一旦你明確了自己的目標(biāo)，你會(huì)更清晰地知道要怎么做才能把英語(yǔ)說(shuō)得更好。這與了解自己的學(xué)習(xí)類(lèi)型相似。列一張清單，寫(xiě)明你都要英語(yǔ)來(lái)做什么。你想要在兩年內(nèi)說(shuō)一口流利的恩英語(yǔ)？你想掌握足夠的英語(yǔ)單詞去旅行或者是點(diǎn)餐？明確你到底想用英語(yǔ)做什么可以幫助你學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)，因?yàn)槟憧梢猿约旱哪繕?biāo)前進(jìn)。

Find Out Your Level
認(rèn)清自己的水平

Before you begin to learn how to speak English, you'll need to know where to begin.?Taking a level?test can help you understand what level you are at and then you can start using resources appropriate for your level in order to learn how to speak English well. Of course, you'll not only learn how to speak English, but also how to read, write and use English in a variety of settings. These quizzes will help you find your level. Start with the beginning level test and then move on. Stop when you get less than 60% and begin at that level.
在學(xué)英語(yǔ)之前，你應(yīng)該了解從哪里開(kāi)始。做一個(gè)水平測(cè)試可以幫助你了解自己目前的階段。隨后你就可以利用適合現(xiàn)階段的資源學(xué)習(xí)如何將英語(yǔ)說(shuō)的更好。當(dāng)然，你不僅僅要學(xué)如何說(shuō)英語(yǔ)，你還要學(xué)習(xí)不同場(chǎng)合下英文該如何讀、寫(xiě)、用。這些測(cè)試可以幫助你認(rèn)清自己的水平。從最基礎(chǔ)的測(cè)試開(kāi)始，一步步加深難度，直到無(wú)法得到60分，就可以從這個(gè)階段學(xué)起。

已經(jīng)明白了自己的目標(biāo)、類(lèi)型和水平，就開(kāi)始確定學(xué)習(xí)策略。要回答如何學(xué)會(huì)說(shuō)英語(yǔ)，最簡(jiǎn)切了當(dāng)?shù)拇鸢妇褪潜M可能多開(kāi)口，當(dāng)然，說(shuō)起來(lái)容易做起來(lái)難。先從確定你要采用的學(xué)習(xí)策略開(kāi)始。你想要自學(xué)？還是報(bào)班？愿意花多少時(shí)間在英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)上？愿意花多少錢(qián)？回答這些問(wèn)題你就能明白自己的策略。
