My Experience on English Study When it comes to English,some college students feel nervous,because they can not pass College English Test Band4 before graduation.That means they will not obtain bachelor’s degree when they graduate.For their part,English is a hard nut to crack.But in my opinion,it is not very difficult to learn English well.In general,English can be divided into five parts:listening,speaking,reading,writing and translation.Some students have difficulty listening.When they listen to material only one time,they don’t understand what it is about at all.When they listen two times more,they can hear several words,but still can not grasp the general idea.To improve your listening,I think,first of all,you should enlarge your English vocabulary.The more,the better.We can imagine if you know few words,you will surely not understand what the speakers mean.Secondly,you had better use some better teaching materials to practise listening.I believe Listen To This is a good book.You can have a try.Finally,practise more.We know practice makes perfect.If you don’t know what the speakers say for the first time,you should listen again and again until you absolutely understand the main idea.Furthermore,I think the best way to improve your English is to listen to the radio or the tapes every day.If your English is relatively poor,you can listen to VOA Special English every day.If your English is good,you can also listen to VOA Standard English per day.Talking about speaking,many students have the same feeling that they know the words,but they can’t express themselves in English.This phenomenon is regarded as “dumb English” in China.How to improve speaking?Firstly,you must overcome your timidity.Don’t be shy to speak English.It doesn’t matter whether or not what you say in English is right.You don’t take it too much to heart.Open your mouth,speak out.Keep your courage and you’ll overcome all the difficulty.Secondly,speak more.If you have a partner,you can speak English with him or her if you have time.It is a good method to improve your speaking.If you don’t find a partner,you can view yourself as your partner.You ask yourself some questions in English and then answer them.In addition,you should usually go to English Corner,where you can avail yourself of the opportunity to speak English with others.But I find that most of the students who often go to English Corner major in English.Therefore,my suggestion is that all of you should go there frequently to practise your spoken English.What’s more,please attach great importance to imitation in the course of speaking English.Imitate the speakers’ pronunciation,tone and so on as possible as you can.As to reading,it plays an essential part in learning English.The more you read,the more you benefit.If you read nothing at all,you will harvest nothing at all.Reading not only can improve your English,but also can expand your horizon.In your spare time,you’d better read some English magazines( such as The World of English,Overseas English),English newspapers( such as China Daily,21st Century),English novels( such as David Copperfield,EMMA,Oliver Twist).Writing is part of learning English,too.Some students feel that they have nothing to write.When asked to write articles by their teachers,they are at a loss as to how to begin writing.This is prevalent.To solve that problem,in the first place,we should read a great many English articles,books,magazines and the like,to broaden our mind.In doing so,we will have something to write.In the second place,form the habit of keeping diary in English.Keeping diary in English enables us to make use of English every day.In the third place,try to write articles on certain topics.For example,which is more important:love or money?And then correct them a few times until they are perfect.Of the five parts,translation is considered to be the most difficult one.Indeed,it is not a piece of cake to master translation.There are two kinds of translation,we know.One is “translate Chinese into English.” The other is “translate English into Chinese.” To do translation well,one must have rich knowledge.Furthermore,his or her Chinese is excellent.If your Chinese is poor,it is impossible for you to do translation well.So we should learn Chinese well first.In addition,he or she must have unusual ability in English and Chinese.There are other factors determining the translation is good or bad.For instance,your understanding to English words and expressions,especially idiom,slang.For example,how to translate “like a dog with two tails” into Chinese?I think many people have no idea what it means.Another instance,how to translate “a small fortune” into Chinese?I believe many of us certainly can’t be more wrong.Those questions require us to do further research
