《美国老师教你说出好英文》内容简介：You are holding in your hand a book that will most likely change the way you think about learning and speaking English.The fact that you bought this book is proof you really want to improve your spoken English.You have studied English under many different teachers,probably all very skilled.You have taken English exams.You've studied with lots of English textbooks,but you are not satisfied with your present ability to communicate in English.Nowyou have chosen to read a book that will take you beyond classroom and textbook study,intothe real world of freely speaking English.
Although I've taught Oral English classes for more than twelve years,I prefer to call them byanother name.I like to refer to those classes,and the topic of this book,as EnglishCommunication.Why do we study a foreign language? For that matter,why do we even learnour own mother language? ls it not for the purpose of communicating with other people? Whatabout English?
People all over the world are learning English so they can communicate with people fromEnglish speaking countries.They also study Engtish to talk with non-native English speakers fromother nations who have learned to speak English.The purpose of language is communication.Therefore,in this book sometimes the words Oral English or Spoken English are replaced withEnglish Communication.That's why we learn language to communicate with people.
Lots of people in China study English.Far less people can actually communicate well in thislanguage.Some are satisfied with high exam scores.Others just want to pass their Englishclasses so they can move on to other courses.Many people are only interested in being able toread English,especially if they have to read English instructions for their jobs or understandEnglish on the computer.These are all good reasons to study English,but the contents of thisbook are designed for people like you: People who are not satisfied with just passing examsand reading,people who are eager to go out and really commuhicate with this language.
You are reading this book,instead of just studying another textbook: This shows that you arenow ready to take the next step toward successful English commuhication.Fluentcommunication takes more than just studying.It takes action.It requires taking the actions youare preparing to read about in the following chapters.
The methods for improving your English communication skills in this book are notcomplicated.They are not meant to be complicated because the best ways to improve oralEnglish are not complicated.In fact,most of this book is written in very simple English.There's no need to make your training any more complex than it needs to be.I often tell mystudents,Spoken English is not complicated,but it isn't easy either.It's simple,but hardwork.It does require self-discipline but it doesn't have to be so complex that nobody canfigure out what it means.
In my experience teaching English in China,I have found that some of the worst Englishspeakers were also the most complex ones.I've tried to make them understand that simple isbetter,but they are not willing to listen.They have believed for years that complicated is morescholarly.Sadly,those students will never be good English communicators.They are theones who will just read a few chapters of this book,then throw it aside and proudly say,This book is too simple.They will go back to their complicated scholarly books andcontinue becoming worse and worse at speaking natural English.
On the other hand,there are wise people,like you,who will see the simplicity of this bookand honestly say,Maybe this foreigner really does know what he is talking about.I'll give ita try.These people may or may not already be good at speaking English,but they have abright future of fluently and freely communicating in English.They don't care if proud peoplelook down on them for their simple approach.They are not worried about higher exam scoresof their classmates.They are willing to try the methods in this book,and,while the others arejust becoming more complicated,they will become the best English communicators in China.- or,where ever in the world they want to go.
As you read this handy guide,I hope you will feel my heart.I hope you will realize.th:at Ilove China and Chinese people.I really want you to succeed.The whole world is speakingEnglish today,and I want you,my Chinese friend,to be one of the best of those English.speakers.I want you to go out and communicate freely with the rest of the world.I wantYOU to be able to effectively use English in your job.Whether you go abroad or make friendswith intemational visitors in China,I want YOUR English conversations to be fluent andnatural.As you read this book and try these methods,I invite YOU to join me in the great adventure of the real world of English communication!
