英语初级口语VSS-008Oral English-primary如何学习英语初级口语这本书 英语初级口语共40课，内容包括饮食起居、节假日、晚会、舞会、作客、通信、电视、电影、购物、求医、求学、旅游等。课文多是与日常生活相关的小故事与对话。每课由两篇课文及七项练习组成。两篇课文中，一篇是故事类文章一篇是对话。这不同的文体为学生提供多样的叙事方式和范例。课后的七项练习由易到难循序渐进从机械训练开始，逐步过渡到半机械训练。最后达到自由交际的目的。下面我们向大家介绍学习英语初级口语的方法，供大家参考。1坚持先“听”后“说”的原则在学习每课课文之前，先听该课的录音，记下你所听到的词或句子，尽量听懂课文内容。如果你觉得所听的课文中生词量大，你可以参考该课的注释部分（notes），直到你可以听懂课文大意为止。如果可能，学员在听了课文录音后试着简单叙述课文内容。2朗读课文 在听完录音，对课文有了大致的了解后你可以打开书，随录音朗读课文。在朗读课文时一定要将课文朗读得清晰，语音、语调正确、流畅。（注朗读是口语（1）（2）考试中的一项内容。）3理解课文并对课文进行问答练习 朗读课文可以帮助你理解课文。你可以借助于课文注释及字典，全面理解课文内容。对课文进行问答练习是检查学习者是否理解所学课文的一个手段。课文后的第三个练习可以帮助学习者进行问答练习。在回答问题时先不要看课文，如果不知道答案，可以参照课文。练习三中的大部分问题的答案是很容易从课文中找到的。答案可以用课文中的原句，也可以用自己的话说，（最好用自己的话回答），但句意和句子语法结构要正确。 下面我们以第一课中的A课文为例，向大家示范怎样做问答练习。“Q”代表Question（问题）；“A”代表Answer（回答）。Q: ( 1) Where did the story take place?A: The story took place in a clinic.Q: What was the relationship between the two people? A: They are doctor and patient.Q: What is the story about?A: It is about a woman who went to see the doctor, but did not want to tell her age.Q: (2) Why did the woman go to see the doctor?A: Because she had some trouble with her heart.Q: Did the doctor know her? Why not?A: No. Because he is a new doctor.Q: What did he ask her first?A: He first asked her some questions, and one of them was, “How old are you?”Q: (3 ) Did the woman tell the doctor her age immediately? Why not?A: No, she didnt because she said she didnt remember.Q: How old was her husband?A: He was sixty years old.Q: Then how did she work out that she was only thirty six?A: She thought that when she married, she was eighteen years old and her husband was thirty. Now her husband was sixty, that was twice thirty, so she was twice eighteen then, and she worked out that she was thirty six.Q: (4 ) How old was the woman?A: She was forty eight years old.Q: Did she really forget her age?A: No, I dont think so.Q: Why didnt she tell the doctor her age in a direct way?A: I think in the western society, age is a womans privacy, so the woman didnt tell her age in a direct way.4如何复述课文 在进行课文回答之后，请同学们做练习五：复述课文。此练习提供了几个不同的开头句子、由于起始句不同。学习者叙述同一故事的方式和角度必定要发生变化，从而加大了复述的难度。尤其是改变人称或倒叙故事的方式使学生必须用自己的语言叙述，这样可以训练语言的灵活运用，提高使用语言的熟练程度。好的复述应该是忠实于原文内容，保留重要情节，舍去非实质性的细节；复述者根据自己的思维重新组织内容，用自己的语言进行发挥。下面我们以第一课中A课文为例，向大家示范如何复述课文、现在我们以第5页中练习五的第二个句子为开头句。I am a new doctor in a clinic. One day a middle-aged women came and told me she had some trouble with her heart. Because I knew nothing about her, I had to ask her some questions first, one of my question was “How old are you?” When I asked this question, she said that she didnt remember, but she would try to think. She thought for a minute and then said she remembered it, but she didnt tell me her age in a direct way. She said that when she married, she was eighteen years old, and her husband was thirty, Now her husband was sixty, and that was twice thirty. So she worked out that she was twice eighteen. That was thirty-six.5如何描述图片 在完成前两个练习的基础上，可以做练习四：用书中提供的词或词组描述图片。此练习方式形象生动。学习者可以就图片的主题，图片中的人物及他们的动作、衣着、表情、神态、图片中的景和物以及图片内在含意进行描述。好的图片描述应该是流畅、自然、达意、合乎情理下面以第一课中的图片为例，向大家示范如何描述图片In this picture, we can see a big desk with a man sitting behind it and a woman sitting in front of it. There are some things on the desk, one of them is an instrument for measuring the blood pressure, and there is a bottle of ink near it. A sheet of paper and a pen-holder are in front of the man on the desk There are two medical records on it, too, I think.The woman is sitting on a chair with a handbag on her lap, and her hands are resting on the handbag. She is dressed in a dark-colored coat and a short skirt with a fur hat on her head. She is looking up, so she seems to be thinking hard. Her facial expression is funny. The man sitting in an armchair behind the desk is a doctor. He is holding a pen in his right hand, his chin is resting on his left hand. He is wearing a suit with a stethoscope around his neck. He looks amused as if they are talking about something interesting.6 如何从语言素材中吸收语言知识在学习语言过程中， 学习者应对语言具有敏感性，即学会从大量的语言素材中吸收正确的句型及英语习语，并养成学了就用的好习惯。教材中的练习二就是为培养学生对语言的这种敏感性而设置的。这个练习要求学习者从提供的句子中挑选出有用的词或词组，并用这些词进行造句练习下面我们向大家示范如何做这项练习woman was having some trouble with her heart a) I had some trouble with my teeth last week.b) The kids have some trouble with their study.She went to see the doctor.
