成功学习英语

[第1～3段译文]

早在18世纪人们就预言总有一天英语会成为全球性语言，而这一预言在过去的几十年里已经得到了证实。国际公司的增多和通信方面的巨大进步带来了将英语作为外语来学习的潮流。当今世界，要想取得令人瞩目的成就，就要会讲不止一种语言，包括英语。然而，将英语作为一门外语来学习，没有当地的语言环境是很难的。一些备受推崇的语言习得理论认为，要达到高水平的外语流利程度和准确性，你需要置身于这种语言环境之中。但遗憾的是，我们有机会生活在讲英语的国家的可能性很小。因此，我们中的大部分人还是得靠学校的语言课程来学习英语。

我们最新使用的英语教学课程鼓励老师们在教室里创设一种丰富多彩的语言环境。这意味着他们要确保通过多种不同的媒介给学生足够量的英语信息的输入。它可以以高质量的阅读和听力材料的形式呈现。高质量的输入信息才能保证(学生)高质量的语言输出，不管是说还是写。

To really get ahead○23， however, means○24 putting in extra work outside of the classroom. Experts say that just 15 minutes of extra­curricular study a day can really accelerate○25 foreign language learning. Here are what they recommend：

­Setting achievable targets○26. For example, enlarge○27 your vocabulary by○28 10 new words every day - five times a week - then revise the words on the weekend○29. 50 new words a week means 200 new words a month.

­Listening to an English song several times in one week after reading the words.

­Watching the news in your own language and then reading an English newspaper or news website. Knowing the main stories before reading will guarantee○30 greater comprehension when reading in English○31.

­Watching a favourite DVD, but adjusting○32 the language to English in parts you know well.

­Studying with friends. Test each other and share learning strategies - this makes learning more enjoyable○33.

­Rewarding yourself. If you reach a target, treat○34 yourself. Inform○35 a friend of your targets so they can help motivate you as well.

These recommendations are easily achieved and are well worth the extra effort.
