※ 引述《geek3638 (Damo)》之銘言： : Last night,I went out with my new foreigner friends,three of them are from : Finland,the other is from Germany. : That was the third time I went out with them.Somehow,every time I hang out : with them,I do become speakless,my performance was so nerves and barely : satisfactory.I'm very good at talking with people who I'm not acquainted : with.<----I knew that I was able to talk with them in English,but I : didn't know what to say then. : I felt so bad about my performance,and frustrated is full of me,even : can't stop thinking in bad way,like.....they must think I'm a boring guy : or else. : That's why I'm here for any suggestion,how to improve social skills. First, if you can type such a paragraph, then it seems that the problem lies not in the ability you own in English, but the strength you process in oral performance ----- just like the problems most Taiwanese students have. Second, if you can made friends from Finland....it seems that you didn't have social interaction problems, either-----I must say. So, it appears that your problem is only the matter of speaking easier ------or so-called, " say it naturer" ! Actually, I myself have such problems, too. Even today, I'll be a little afraid to speak English in public. But, much better than monthes ago....... You can't imagine the time when I got my grades of the GEPT inter-mediate tests. I was a high school student, and I did well whether in the listening or reading. But, my speaking is awfully poor. What did I do to improve? I gave up a little part of the English magazines, and instead, I read more novels. What can novels do? If magazines help us with the vocabularies and knowledge, then the novels help us with our talking and attract us with the plot. Really? Yes-----have you notice the unusually more conversations in the novels? What would it help? When you attract by the exciting story, you'll read and learn much talking-sentences, phrases, and usages without notice yourself. It DO really help !!! The same method also works in movies or TV-shows..... And of course after all these self-training, you must also do practice with English-speaking people, at first (Taiwanese) with friends, then to the native-speakers. Provide here a small tip....if you can find not-English speaking foreigners, such as Japanese, Turkian, Korean, German, or such people, you can conversation with then in English, but more confidencial, and with much fun. Their pronounce would usually strange, and with heavy accent. Talking with them would concur your fear of speaking with foreigners....... Finally, hope you overcome your fear successfully and with more confidence talking in English !!!!!!!!!! - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - P.S. I am just a freshman of a English Department, any questions, corrections or comments whether to this paragraph or myself would be welcomed !!!!!!! - -- ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓ ▓▓▓ ▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓ ▓ ▓ By GENIUS-SHENG ( shgenius ) --
