留學(xué)生在外難免需要用英語去跟本地人交流，但對于自己的“Chinglish”自己都不好意思。那么我們該怎么去提升自己的口語表達(dá)呢？小嗨在這里給同學(xué)們分享幾點(diǎn)經(jīng)驗(yàn)，希望同學(xué)們可以找到合適自己的方法。

1.Don’t set fluency targets

別設(shè)定什么流暢度目標(biāo)

Never ever commit the mistake of setting a “number of words spoken per minute” kind of targets. They are destructive as they do not allow the mind to really work constructively without pressure.

永遠(yuǎn)別定“一分鐘應(yīng)該說多少個詞”這種錯誤目標(biāo)。這樣你就沒辦法正常地毫無壓力地表達(dá)，會打亂你的節(jié)奏。

2.Be a natural

自然點(diǎn)——順其自然

Let things happen naturally. As you read more, and convert the read word into spoken word, your speed will gradually pick up. Do not be artificial.

隨著閱讀量增加，把你讀到的轉(zhuǎn)化成你說出來的，語速自然會提高。別刻意追求速度。

3.Read, read, read

 讀，讀，讀

As you read more, your confidence about issues / topics / subjects will grow. You will start owning knowledge. You will develop an inner, natural strength. It is a matter of time that is starts showing on your face.

你讀得越多，你對事情、話題、主旨的把握就越有自信。你開始積累更多的知識，培養(yǎng)自己由內(nèi)而外、自然而然更優(yōu)秀的氣質(zhì)。隨著時間的沉淀，這種氣質(zhì)自然會顯露出來。

4.Write at least 1 essay per day

每天寫一篇文章

It is the ultimate test of what you are learning, and if you are learning something at all. Pick a plain paper, think of a topic, and write an essay (300 words max) on it. Do it every day. It will very productively force you to raise the level of the game.

這是考察你到底學(xué)了什么、有沒有學(xué)到真東西的終極考驗(yàn)。拿一張白紙，想一個主題，然后寫一篇文章（不超過300字）。每天堅(jiān)持。這是推動你進(jìn)步的數(shù)量上的保證。

5.Be measured while you speak

想好了再說

 Do not try to outgun anyone in the group. Take a few seconds before you react (2 or 3 seconds, say). That will ensure that you do not over-react, instant-react, or wrong-react.

不要試圖壓倒每一個組員。在作出反應(yīng)之前思考2到3秒，以保證你不會表現(xiàn)過激、倉促或者出錯。

6.Talk to yourself

和你自己對話

You will never be ashamed doing that. Keep doing it regularly. It will open up your tongue.

你不會為此感到害羞的。檢測有規(guī)律地練習(xí)。這會讓你敞開心扉。

7.Shout, at least once a day

大喊，至少每天一次

Go to the rooftop literally, and shout aloud. Do that for some minutes. Speak something sensible if you can. It will train the mind not to be scared of anything. Of course, if you do that elsewhere, people may beat you up :)

去屋頂，大聲喊。喊幾分鐘。如果可以的話，說一些有感而發(fā)的話。這會讓你內(nèi)心變得更強(qiáng)大。當(dāng)然，如果你不分場合地喊，肯定會被打的。

8.Love yourself for what you are

接受自己，愛自己的樣子

This is perhaps the most crucial step. If you hate yourself for not being a fluent English speaker (as per whatever random benchmark you’ve adopted), your sense of self-worth will be destroyed. Don’t let that happen to you.

這可能是最重要的一步了。如果你恨自己的英語不夠流利（或者隨便其他你要求自己做到的事情。）你的自我肯定就會被摧毀。不要讓這發(fā)生在你身上。

 I have come across some really fast speakers who talk sense, and some who are idiots; some measured speakers who talk a lot of sense; and some slow speakers who are a pleasure to listen to.

我遇到過很多講話很快又很有道理的人，遇到過說話很快卻很愚蠢的人，遇到過說話有分寸而且很有道理的人，也遇到過一些說話慢慢的卻讓人很樂意聽下去的人。

It all depends on your profession, your eye-contact and body language, and the choice of words + depth of knowledge.

這一切由你的專業(yè)水平、眼神交流、肢體語言和用詞、知識深度來決定。

 So relax, and start your personal journey of success! It will take time, so buckle up. Wish you great luck.

所以，放輕松，找到適合你自己的方法吧！可能要花一些時間，一定要有耐心哦。
