昨天想到学习英语要多运用,今天就开始运用和练习。
今天和老婆一起跑完后就和她一起讨论,我们每天背单词练口语,但是发现一个尴尬的情形:会的内容还是会,不会的内容还是不会!原因在哪里呢?那就是自己在练习自己会的内容,不会的内容进行了回避,没有进行刻意练习!
知道原因后,就开始练习,我们就开始有一搭没一搭地用英语对话,然后发现我们很多会的单词虽然记得,但是平时想不起来,只有在这种刻意练习的时候才能激活出来,比如今天激活的单词有relectunt, highlight, identify, approach, accurate, alternative。
这样练习之后感觉很有意思,很有成就感,因为这个练习和以前很不同,自己看到自己运用起来自己的存货(以前背的单词),原来自己背的每一个单词都算数,就像我们跑的每一步都算数一样。
今天是一个好的开始, 如果可以考虑一下以后如何继续保持和提高,那一定是极好的!我现在能想到的是,建立一个日程表,自己完成后就在上面打钩,完成21天后给自己一个小奖励,完成50天后给自己一个中奖励,完成100天后给自己一个大奖励,哈哈,大奖励是什么呢?水果7? 飞3?
Me: Why do you run today?
Wife: Because you push me a lot, and thanks for your pushing. I was a little reluctant this morning, but I think I should run and I can run, so I come with you and run 10k, it is a great experience this morning.
Me: Great, you jumped out your comfort zone. This is a good approach to grow. As we learned so many words but we still cannot use them freely, why does this happen? Because we have not use them. Tony have given me a suggestion which is very simple, just speak to yourself at front of the mirror for 5 minutes, and kick a cross after your speaking, 2 months later, your speaking skill would improve a lot!
