※ 引述《a8899276 (dennis)》之铭言： : I want to share some of my experience. I have known some foreigners from : different countries for almost 3 and half years. We hand out almost every week : and we have lots of activities, like seeing a movie or a party. It is true we : can talk to each other very well, but I found myself still having lots of : same conversations after I had known them one year. The problems is you still : have to keep learning English related to lots of different issues including : cultures, politics and u know what I am saying now. The point is that SPEAKING : means u just open ur mouth and u think ur English is pretty good. NO!!! : Keeping reading and listening!! Try talking some topics like cyclone happened : in Myanmar(Burma) or Earthquake in China with your friends. For me, I am : not good at marketing and therefore I have to keep improving this part. : DONT JUST TALK!! 如同我之前说的 很多非英语系的国家来的人 单字未必比你我多 但在英文沟通上完全没有问题 说英文时很重要的一点是要将脑子放空 不再有中文的存在 那万一遇到不会的单字怎麽办 很简单 直接问对方 比如我不会earthquake 我可能说 sorry, i forget the word. how do you call it when you feel ground is shaking and buildings falling down? 对方就会回你 it's earthquake 这时你就又学得一个单字了 相同的英文可以有很多种说法，你不一定要用一个单字 you can also describe the situation ,people can understand you either. 就像上面的例子 行销的专有名词我不懂 但我也可以跟人谈行销 遇到不懂的名词，我只要问 sorry, i don't understand the meaning of .. or i don't know what ....means, can you explain to me? 这样一来 我又可以多学好几个单字 而且靠这种方式学来的 很难忘记 为什麽老外学英文特别快，因为他们不怕跟别人沟通，总是试图 用有限的单子来说明,透过此种不断良性循环的过程，学得 的字愈来愈多,而且实用，就跟上述的例子一样 台湾人弱在应用能力，即便托福考再高,单字再多，说得英文却不怎麽样 原因就在於心态，在外国人眼中，亚洲人就很shy呀 安安静静的，英文不常讲当然讲不好 在我眼中，很多亚洲人讲英文时心里想的却是自己国家的语言 一直要想出心中最理想的 单字 翻译，翻译又要想 又常常想不出， 却没有想到可以用替代的方式 如上述例子 来表达 当然这点是需要时间来克服的，到国外走走是有帮助的 台湾尽管补习班众多，却不是学习英文的好地方 除非我们能做到每样东西 如公共建设，超级市场蔬果等等都有双语文字 出国也不一定要留学 短期二三个月也可以 但不要跟团 如果不跟团,不报学校，三餐自理，住便宜旅舍 价格应是可以付担的起的 --
