Improving your English speaking skills will help you communicate more easily and effectively. But how do you become a more confident English speaker?
提高你的英語(yǔ)口語(yǔ)技能將幫助您更輕松，更有效地進(jìn)行溝通。但你如何成為一個(gè)更加自信地說(shuō)英語(yǔ)？
 
Practise where you can, when you can. Any practice is good - whether you speak to someone who is a native English speaker or not.
盡可能多地練習(xí)。任何練習(xí)都是好的——不管你是否和一個(gè)英語(yǔ)母語(yǔ)者交談。
 
It's important to build your confidence. If possible, use simple English sentence structure that you know is correct, so that you can concentrate on getting your message across.
建立信心是很重要的。如果可能的話(huà)，使用你知道是正確的簡(jiǎn)單英語(yǔ)句子結(jié)構(gòu)，這樣你就可以集中精力把你的信息傳達(dá)出去。
 
Try to experiment with the English you know. Use words and phrases you know in new situations. Native English speakers are more likely to correct you if you use the wrong word than if you use the wrong grammar. Experimenting with vocabulary is a really good way of getting feedback.
試著用你知道的英語(yǔ)去說(shuō)。在新的情況下使用你知道的單詞和短語(yǔ)。如果你用錯(cuò)了單詞，母語(yǔ)為英語(yǔ)的人比用錯(cuò)了語(yǔ)法的人更有可能能糾正你。嘗試詞匯是獲得反饋的一種很好的方法。
 
Try to respond to what people say to you. You can often get clues to what people think by looking at their body language. Respond to them in a natural way.
試著回應(yīng)別人對(duì)你說(shuō)的話(huà)。你經(jīng)常可以通過(guò)觀察人們的肢體語(yǔ)言來(lái)了解他們的想法。以自然的方式回應(yīng)他們。
 
Try NOT to translate into and from your own language. This takes too much time and will make you more hesitant.
盡量不要翻譯成你自己的語(yǔ)言。這需要太多時(shí)間，會(huì)讓你更加猶豫。
 
If you forget a word, do what native English speakers do all the time, and say things that 'fill' the conversation. This is better than keeping completely silent. Try using um, or er, if you forget the word.
如果你忘了一個(gè)詞，做母語(yǔ)為英語(yǔ)的人經(jīng)常做的事情，說(shuō)一些能“填滿(mǎn)”談話(huà)內(nèi)容的話(huà)。這比完全保持沉默要好。如果你忘了這個(gè)詞，試著用嗯或者呃。
 
 
Don't speak too fast! It's important to use a natural rhythm when speaking English, but if you speak too fast it will be difficult for people to understand you.
別說(shuō)得太快！說(shuō)英語(yǔ)時(shí)使用自然節(jié)奏很重要，但如果你說(shuō)得太快，人們很難理解你。
 
Try to relax when you speak - you'll find your mouth does most of the pronunciation work for you. When you speak English at normal speed, you'll discover that many of the pronunciation skills, such as linking between words, will happen automatically.
說(shuō)話(huà)時(shí)盡量放松-你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)你的嘴對(duì)你的發(fā)音起作用。當(dāng)你以正常的速度說(shuō)英語(yǔ)時(shí)，你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)許多發(fā)音技巧，例如單詞之間的連接，都會(huì)更自然。
 
Remember, when speaking English...
Try to become less hesitant and more confident.
記住，說(shuō)英語(yǔ)時(shí)…
試著變得不那么猶豫和自信。
 
Don't be shy to speak - the more you do it, the more confident you'll become.
不要害羞說(shuō)話(huà)-你做得越多，你就越有信心。
 
Remember to be polite - use "please" and "thank you" if you ask someone to do something for you.
記住要有禮貌-如果你要求別人為你做點(diǎn)什么，就用“請(qǐng)”和“謝謝”來(lái)表達(dá)。
