6個方法，幫你解決英語“開口難”
即便你背了無數(shù)的單詞，即便你對語法了如指掌，但當(dāng)用英語表達(dá)自己想法時，是不是仍然會感到“話在心頭口難開”？為什么會這樣呢？有些原因是非常顯而易見的。那么，今天，英大就來講講6個技巧，讓你有效突破英語交流障礙，輕輕松松講一口流利的英文！
1.Slow Down Your Speaking Speed減慢語速
You might be an eloquent speaker when it comes to your mother tongue, but expecting the same standards from yourself when speaking in a foreign language may not be very realistic.
當(dāng)你用母語交流時，你可能不輸給奇葩說的辯論選手。而當(dāng)你使用外語時，想要達(dá)到這樣的水平，顯然是不現(xiàn)實(shí)的。
Especially, if you’re at the early stages of learning. Learners are often told not to worry about the mistakes they’re making, however, it is easy to understand why you would like to make a good impression on your audience.
尤其，你還是語言的初級學(xué)習(xí)者。周圍的人經(jīng)常說不要在乎是否會犯語法錯誤，但是如果你想用外語給對方留下好印象的話，盡量還是要避免語法錯誤。
To overcome this difficulty, you may try slowing down your speaking speed.
Nobody will hold it against you if you speak more slowly and clearly. Great speakers do the same to get their message across. Selecting your words carefully may also be seen as a sign of respect towards your audience. It shows that you want to give them the best possible answer.
為了克服這個障礙，你需要減慢你的語速。如果你講得慢一些，但是更加清楚、有條理，沒人會反對你的。偉大的演講者也是通過這種方式去表述自己的觀點(diǎn)。謹(jǐn)慎地選用詞匯也是對講話對方的尊重，因?yàn)檫@體現(xiàn)了你想讓對方得到明確清楚的答復(fù)。
2.Give Yourself Time to Think給自己留些思考時間
You may be worried that the people you’re talking to are impatient and would like you to say what you want as quickly as possible.
你可能認(rèn)為談話對方不耐心，希望你講得越快越好。
First of all, it may not be true – people often prefer a well-thought-out answer to a rushed one.
So just relax.
首先，這個認(rèn)知可能是錯誤的。人們往往更愿意得到一個經(jīng)過深思熟慮后得出的答案，而非一個匆匆忙忙的回復(fù)。
所以，放輕松。
Another practical thing you can do is equipping yourself with fixed phrases you can use when remaining silent doesn’t seem to be an option.
保持沉默并不是最佳選擇，但是有一個可行的辦法：自己準(zhǔn)備些固定的術(shù)語。
舉個例子：
Why is there so much violence on TV? That’s a good question. Let me think for a moment, I haven’t really thought about it before. Well, I suppose…
為什么電視節(jié)目如此暴力？這是個好問題，讓我想一下，我之前還真沒考慮過這個問題。我認(rèn)為…
Here the speaker gains considerable amount of time to reflect just by repeating the question and adding a few sentences. If you do the same, you’ll sound more fluent and won’t feel the pressure of having to say something before you’re ready.
重復(fù)問題，并加上幾個句子就能給說話者足夠的時間去思考了。如果你這樣做，我相信你的回答一定會更加的流暢，你也不會感到準(zhǔn)備不充分所帶來的巨大壓力了！
常用的連接詞：
during the day
in the meantime
It’s been a long time since
Sorry to bother/trouble you, but…
Would you mind if…?
Oh, come on!
I’m just kidding!
For what it’s worth,…
To be right/wrong about
Tit for tat/an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth
3.Learn Sentences, Not Only Words 記憶句子，而非單詞
When you learn a new word, try to memorize a couple of sentences that contain it.
當(dāng)你學(xué)習(xí)一個新的單詞時，去記這個單詞所構(gòu)成的句子。
There might come a time when you can use one particular sentence with little, or no alteration at all. Unfortunately, many people learn words by heart, but have no idea how to use them in a sentence.
有時你甚至可以原封不動地在交流過程中使用這個句子。但是很多人都是記住一個單詞，卻不知道在句子中如何它。
It will be such a relief not having to worry about whether the sentence is correct grammatically or not. Let’s look at an example:
此外，記句子的好處在于你都不用去擔(dān)心自己的句子語法正確與否，譬如：
appreciate = to recognize the value of something/somebody
I think it’s necessary to feel appreciated in a relationship/ at work.
I appreciate all your hard work.
Isn’t it much more useful to memorize ’appreciate’ this way?
難道背句子不比背單詞更有效嗎？
4.Learn to Listen聆聽
When speaking in a foreign language, you might be so focused on what you are saying and whether it’s correct or not, that you forget to listen to what others are saying.
當(dāng)講一門外語時，你可能太專注于你講的句子正確與否，而忽略了對方在說什么。
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.
你身邊的人可能會使用你接下來需要的語法結(jié)構(gòu)或者是詞匯，所以聆聽周圍人在講些什么，那是你對話時最重要的詞匯語法“寶庫”。
5.Practise Your Interrogatives練習(xí)提問
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.
我們要知道交流是雙向的。如果你不問對方問題，對方可能會覺得你不感興趣，甚至認(rèn)為你沒有禮貌。結(jié)果就是你必須要一直說話。
So, when you’ve run out of ideas about what to say next, remember: others might have something to add.
所以，當(dāng)你不知道接下來要說什么的時候，記?。簩Ψ娇赡芤灿邢胍磉_(dá)的想法。 可你以嘗試這樣提問對方：
What are your views on that?
How about you? What do you think?
Why do you think there’s so much violence on TV?
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 and start enjoying yourself.
這樣的提問能夠保證對話健康地進(jìn)行下去。同時，也能體現(xiàn)你對對方的觀點(diǎn)感興趣，這樣做也會給你一些時間放松自己。
6.Produce, Produce, Produce練習(xí)，練習(xí)，練習(xí)
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.
正如文章開頭所講，你所學(xué)習(xí)的大量的語言知識都是被動的知識，你需要激活他們。以此來達(dá)到最終的目的---使用正確的英語。練習(xí)，毋庸置疑是最好的方式，它可以幫助你適應(yīng)英語的使用規(guī)則。
Speaking, on the other hand, is a much more spontaneous process and nothing prepares you for it better than actually doing it. So, find people you can practise with.
交流，其實(shí)是非常自發(fā)的過程，只有你去說，你才能去總結(jié)反思成長，所以，找個可以和你對話交流的人吧！
