很喜欢今晚的分享会,有料,靠谱,接地气,让我领悟到阅读和学习中的误区,学习到这两方面的正确打开方式。
我存在的问题
1. 读书囫囵吞枣,不注重从精读中体会语言的使用以及写作手法。
2. 只求速度,不求质量。只想着去体会读完一本书的“成就感”,而忽略了学到一些有用的表达或者词汇,才是真正的成就感。
3. 很少做笔记,缺少阅读过程中的反思和归纳。
4. 总想去查遇到的每一个生词,有些词其实并不影响阅读,没必要查字典。
5. 没有根据自己的兴趣选择适合的书籍,看到推荐就买来了,但是读了之后才发现,不是自己喜欢的,导致有很多书没有读完就搁置了。
我学到了什么?
一、如何利用原版书学习英文
1. 读书的目的
1/. 获取信息(读的懂)
2/. 习得语言(学到手)
读书,顺便学点英文(适合自己的就是最好的。)
2. 具体做法
选书: 兴趣 → 他人推荐 → 推荐平台(豆瓣,Goodreads, 比尔盖茨书单)
跟随兴趣,从内心出发。有了经验积累之后,尝试体验不同口味的书籍。
3. 正确期待
阅读期待不要太高,读书顺便学点英文就好了。
1/. 拿到一本英文原版书,认真读完前两个chapter,然后决定要不要继续读这本书。
2/. 不要渴望句句是干货。
不要渴望能够读懂100%。
不要渴望能够掌握所有的语言点。
4. 设定阅读计划
1/. 根据自己的时间,量力而为。
2/. 一本书一般200页,看上去好像很多。如果每天读10页,就很轻松了。
5. 读书方法【读一遍,再读一遍】
第一遍: 掌握框架,主要信息
说了什么事? 哪里没读懂? 学到了什么?
第二遍: 解决问题,积累素材
【死磕 & Live with it】
有价值的词语或者表达,追求深度剖析。不太重要的知识,要学会在必要的时候放下,学会“跳出来”。
尝试慢下来,Slow is fast.
学会做减法,按需学习。
Don't bite more than you can chew!
6. 高级玩法
1/. 听有声书:练习听力和发音。
I was a learned... (注意learned发音)
2/. 听播客,看采访
3/. 读中英文书评: 在评论中学习表达
4/. 回译: 做对比
5/. 讲故事: 学以致用
读书最好的方法就是“读”,在读的过程中学会如何读书。
二、Shoe Dog中值得学习的英文
1. 读的懂不代表会,简单的东西不简单
阅读是一个起点,读了才会写,张口才有内容。如果读了书却写不出,其实并没有彻底学会,需要深入剖析。
阅读要领一: 没有见过的精彩表达当做生词对待。
I was up before the others, before the birds, before the sun, I drank a cup of coffee, wolfed down a piece of toast.
阅读要领二:词汇没有三六九等,关键是怎么用。
① Luck plays a big role.
② But the man wasn't made of money.
阅读要领三:不知道的词不要有压力,学习更不能稀里糊涂,要做到少而精。
① I was saddened.
② -This time, however, he said he had a solution.
- "Shoot", I said.
(shoot, 在此意思是“说吧,问吧”)
阅读要领四:在语境中学习词汇和表达。不要急于查字典,先结合上下文联想,联想不到或者不重要的学会let it go,用有限的时间去做更有意义的事情。
① Penny manned the silk-screen machine and churned out Nike T-shirts.
② There were no cars, no people, no signs of life. I was all alone. The trees always seemed to know. The trees always had your back.(had your back 意思是 support you.)
阅读要领五:按语块记忆,学完立刻尝试造句。看到一句话,你尝试问自己“你会怎么说?”,“还可以怎么说?”。
① I'm tired.
I'm officially wiped.
I'm beat.
② I wanted to leave a mark on the world.
make sth big
put a dent in the universe
③ On paper, I thought, I'm an adult. So why, I wondered, why do I still feel like a kid? (on paper 表面上来说)
The plan works well on paper. 纸上谈兵
2. 哪些词值得记? 词汇的敏感度!
敏感度是一个大量输入和输出的结果,读得多,用得多,敏感度自然就上升了。
1/. 把英语表达当朋友
2/. 每个表达都是你的独家记忆
适合记忆的词
1/. 能够让你立刻产生联想(过去知识,未来场景)
2/. 形象,别扭,好玩,用得上
① You've seen the world. And now you're putting everything on the line to create this company.
联想到: I aksed Musk directly just how much he was willing to put on the line. His response? "Everything that other people hold dear."
② His math was solid. (solid替换good, "很好,很靠谱")
③ He was anal. (anal 事无巨细;事逼)
Articulate, dazzlingly anal about the tiniest details
Don't be so anal.
④ We'd give them hefty discounts.(big)
This new idea will never fly. (take off, work)
We haggled for several days.(dispute or bargain persistently, especially over the cost of something.)
Hillard wouldn't budge.(to give way)
⑤ Canada was a letdown. (disappointment)
Suddenly he was a literary lion, the toast of New York.(文学大佬)
Jack Ma is a business lion, the toast of the world.
如何善用搜索,搜集作者的高频词
通过电子读书app搜索词汇出现的次数。
搜索时,注意搜索一个单词的多种形式,如:原形,过去式,过去分词。
阅读只是一个开始,为读书而读书。以下是Eric分享的很精彩的两段文字,共勉!
Don't stop. Don't even think about stopping until you get there, and don't give much thought to where “there” is. Whatever comes, just don't stop.
Seek a calling. Even if you don't know what that means, seek it. If you're following your calling, the fatigue will be easier to bear, the disappointments will be fuel, the highs will be like nothing you've ever felt.
从内心出发,做好当下事。把外部刺激转化为内部动力,坚持阅读,坚持学习英文,让大脑充实,让身心愉悦,在英语学习的道路上走的更加坚定和自信!
