九年级英语Unit 1 How do you study for a test文章 How To Learn English新人教版.doc

How To Learn English Good organization is important if you want to make fast progress. How much time can you give to your studies and what resources do you have at your disposal? You have to assemble the books and tapes you need and get to know how they are organized. We are to look at how you can organize your studies efficiently right from the outset. How many hours do you think you can spend on your English study each day? The following task contains a case study and will help you to calculate your English study time. Janet is a student at a university. She is going to study Spanish as part of her Business Studies course. I need about eight and a half hours sleep a night. I suppose I spend around half an hour each day washing and dressing and another half an hour doing routine chores around the flat. My journey to and from the university takes 45 minutes each day and I generally spend around six hours a day in classes or the library. I need to spend another two hours studying for my business course when I get home. Preparing food and eating takes around an hour and a half and Id like to have two or three hours to relax if possible.1. Janet will have approximately _ hours per day for Spanish study.2. I will have approximately _ hours per day for English study. You can make progress studying just one hour a week but obviously three hours would be much better and five hours would be better still. Do you have enough time to spare? Can you juggle other things around to give yourself more time? It would be wise for you to plan your own study schedule. It is important to consider not just the amount of time you can set aside for study but also the quality of that time. If you know you dont think very clearly after 9 p.m., it isnt a good idea to organize your study time for late in the evenings. It would be better to get up an hour earlier several mornings a week and study then. Having organized time for your studies you will have to equip yourself with the books and tapes that you need. If you are taking lessons its quite likely you will be using a coursebook. It will be worth your while to find out how this book is organized so you can look things up when you need to. The other essential book you need is a dictionary. If you already have one, you will have to decide whether its good enough. If not, you will have to consider buying a better one. The following task will help to examine a dictionary in order to decide whether or not it is adequate. The inherent problem with translation dictionaries is that words do not always translate neatly from one language to another. When you are first starting to learn a language, you need a translation dictionary, but you would be wise to change to an explanation type as soon as possible. 如何学英语 如果你想取得很快的进步，良好的学习安排很重要。你能够花多少时间来学习？你得把你所需要的书和磁带归整好，并且弄明白它们是怎样编排的。让我们看一看从一开始你该如何更有效地安排学习。 你认为你每天能抽出多少时间来学习英语？下面的练习是一个实例研究，它将帮助你计算出学英语的时间。 珍妮特是一名大学生。她将开始学习西班牙语，这是她商业课程的一部分。 “我每晚需要8个半小时的睡眠时间。我大概每天要花半小时洗漱和穿着打扮。另外，还需要半小时在套间做日常家务。每天来去上学的路上要花45分钟。一般来说，每天上课或去图书馆学习的时间约6小时。放学回家后，还需要花2小时来学习商业专业课。做饭吃饭大约需要1个半小时。如果可能的话，我还想留两三小时来放松自己。 1、珍妮特每天大约有_小时学习西班牙语。 2、我每天大约有_小时学习英语。 即使你每周只有1小时学习英语，你也能够取得进步。但是，显然3个小时要好得多，5个小时就更好了。你能抽出足够的时间吗？你能设法挤掉其他一些事情而给予自己更多的时间吗？聪明的做法是你自己订出一份日程表。 重要的是不仅仅要拿出学习的时间，而且要考虑这段时间的质量。如果你知道自己晚上9点之后思维不清醒，安排晚上学习就不是个好主意。最好每周有几天早上提前1小时起床来学习。 安排好学习时间之后，你就得为自己配备所需要的书和磁带。如果你在上课，很可能你会使用一本教科书。那么就花些时间去弄明白这本书是如何编排的，这样做的值得的，因为在需要时，你能够找到所需的内容。另外一本重要的书是词典。如果你已经有了一本，你得看看它是否适用。如果不适用，你得考虑买一本更好的。下面的问答题会帮助你检查词典时否适用。 1、当你查一个英语单词时： a)词典有译文解释吗？ b)有用你正在学习的语言作出的解释吗？ 2、词典时否提供例句举例说明单词是如何使用的吗？ 3、词典给单词标音了吗？ 4、词典有不规则词形表吗？ 词典所提供的译文解释总是无法把单词的意思准确地从一种语言译成另一种语言。当你开始学一种语言时，你需要一本有译文解释的词典，但是，聪明的做法是尽快学会使用原文解释的词典。
