写在前面的话:
看老友记学英语系列已经分享到第十二期了,希望看了我的分享以后大家的英语能够有所提高,或者对英语的学习方法有所启发。然后能够在生活中能够真正使用英语,可以参考第七期把英语学习融入到生活中去。
这一期要分享一种学习态度,那就是千万不要讲求“差不多”。
你看完一部电影,别人问你,看懂了吗?差不多吧。学一道菜,别人问你,学会了吗?差不多吧。参加一个比赛,别人问你,有信心吗?差不多吧。于是你就变成了差不多先生。
在学语言的过程中这是一个非常不好的习惯,语言就是一个一个的单词组成的,单词又是一个一个的字母组成的,一个字母拼错了,整个单词就错了,整个句子的意思也错了。所以“差不多”的态度会让错误的知识积累在你的大脑里,这样学习过程会越来越难。
怎样才能避免做差不多先生呢?
有很多朋友平时看着很用功,但是考英语四六级的时候却老是不过线。为什么呢,原因就是学习的过程中老是觉得差不多掌握了,把一个单词看到面熟就以为记住了,把一套题看了一遍就以为理解了。但当考试的时候,却一头雾水,单词认识他,他不认识单词。
解决这个问题只要在学习的过程中问自己几个问题就可以了。记完一个单词要问自己,我真正记住了吗?你的大脑不会欺骗你,它会告诉你是的,或者没有。如果没有,你就要再记几遍。遇到一个表达方式,就要问自己,我真的会用了吗?同理,如果得到的答案是否定的,就应该再去查查,词典看这个表达式究竟该怎么用。
我在老友记的学习分享中,会加一些例句,这些例句都不是随便加的,我都是通过查词典首先确保表达和语法是正确的,然后找到词典上可以转移和改造的和我们的生活相近的用法拿下来,加以改造,重新造句。
下面还是接着分享老友记吧。
[Scene: Barry's office,Rachel is doing her makeup in the mirror on Barry's lamp as Barry enters.]

我?
不.我和明蒂去了
解析:
What have you been up to?最近在忙些什么呢/最近怎么样。固定用法,遇到一段时间不见的朋友可以这么说。
Tan:vi.晒成棕褐色。这个单词就可以记成中文的“碳”,晒成碳黑色了。
