4. Learn to Listen

4.学会去听

When speaking in a foreign language, you might be so focused on what you are saying ， that you forget to listen to what others are saying.

说一门外语时，你可能会把注意力集中在内容上，却忘记去听别人正在说什么。

 

This is a big mistake as they might be using the exact words or grammar you’ll be needing later on. So pay attention to what’s being said around you, it’s your most important resource at the time of speaking to someone.

这是一个严重的错误，因为你在以后的日子里会用到他们曾经说过的某个确切的词汇或者语法。因此把注意力集中在你周围的人所说的内容上，当你以后跟别人交谈的时候，这将是你最重要的资源。

 

5. Practice Your Interrogatives

 5.练习提问

We also need to keep in mind the fact that communication is a two-way process. Not only does it make you seem uninterested – even rude – if you don’t ask questions, you might also end up being the one who has to do all the talking. So, when you’ve run out of ideas about what to say next, remember: others might have something to add.

 我们应该记住这个事实：交流是一个双向的过程。如果你不问问题，这不仅仅会使你显得冷漠 – 甚至粗鲁 ，你也可能不会再是那个主导话语权的人。因此当你不知道接下来该说点什么的时候，请记住：或许可以让其他人进行补充。 For example: 例如： What are your views on that? 对此你有什么看法？

 

How about you? What do you think?

你呢？你怎么想？

 

Questions like this will keep the conversation going and will show your interest in other people’s opinion. They will also give you time to relax a little.

这样的问题会使对话继续下去并且能够表现出你对他人观点的兴趣。他们也会给你一点时间去放松一下。

 

 6. Produce, Produce, Produce

6.产出，产出，产出

As I said at the beginning of this article, you might know a lot about the language, but this is passive knowledge that must be activated somehow. Your aim is to be able to produce correct English; practice is undeniably the best way to learn and improve. 像我在这篇文章开始说的一样，你可能学习了许多关于语言的知识，但是这只是一些需要被激活的被动性的知识。你的目标应该是说出正确的英语(精品课); 而练习无疑是学习和提高的最好的方式。

 

Writing is one way of producing language; it may help you get used to and reflect on the ways English is used, which might prove to be useful when speaking. 写作是一种产出语言的方式；它会帮助你熟悉并且思考使用英语的方式，当你交谈的时候，写作也是起作用的。

 

Speaking, on the other hand, is a much more spontaneous process. Find people you can practice with. I have a feeling that it will be a great experience.

在另一方面，说是一个更自发的过程。去找一个可以和你一起练习英语的人。我有预感这将是一个奇妙的经历。

 

I hope you will find these tips useful. Feel free to ask any questions if something is not clear.

我希望你会觉这些技巧有用。当你有问题的时候，不要拘束，去提问。
