“读”可以分为两种。一种是“默读”。每天给予一定时间的练习将会对你提
高阅读速度有很大的好处，读的内容可以是你的课本，但最好是一些有趣学英语简单吗,肯定会有许多学生说:“难死了”。
的小读物，因为现在的英语高考越来越重视阅读量和阅读速度。每道题的为什么有好多学生对英语的学习都感到头疼呢,答案只有一个:“不得法。” 得分都与你的理解程度有很大关系，所以经过高中三年阅读的训练后，你英语与汉语一样都是一种语言，为什么你说汉语会如此流利,那是因为你必定会在高考中胜券在握。 另一种是“朗读”这是学语言必不可少的一种置身于一个汉语环境中，如果你在伦敦呆上半年，保准说起英语来会非常学习途径。
流利。但很多中学生没有很好的英语环境，那么你可以自己设置一个英语四、多“写”
环境，坚持“多说”、“多听”、“多读”、“多写”，那么你的英语成绩肯定会很有的同学总是抱怨时间紧，根本没时间写作文。其实“写”的形式很多，不出色。 一定就写作文才提高写作能力。比如写下你一天中发生的一些重要的事情一、多“说”。 ，或当天学了某一个词组，你可以创设一个语境恰如其份地用上这个词。自己多创造机会与英语教师多讲英语，见了同学，尤其是和好朋友在一起时这样即可帮你记住这个词的用法，又可以锻炼你的写作能力，比如学尽量用英语去问候，谈心情……这时候你需随身携带一个英汉互译小词典“wish”一词时，可写一小段如下:
，遇到生词时查一下这些生词，也不用刻意去记，用的多了，这个单词自The teache r often asks us what we want to be in the future .My good 然而然就会记住。千万别把学英语当成负担，始终把它当成一件有趣的事friend Tom wishes to be a soldie r.Howeve r,I'm differ ent .I wish I 情去做。 were a teache r in the future .But my mother wishes me to be a 或许你有机会碰上外国人，你应大胆地上去跟他打招呼，和他谈天气、谈doctor .
风景、谈学校……只是别问及他的年纪，婚史等私人问题。尽量用一些你只几句话:但wish的几种用法已跃然纸上，这样写下来印象会深刻得多，学过的词汇，句子去和他谈天说地。不久你会发现与老外聊天要比你与中这样比死记硬背wish的用法也有趣轻松的多。 国人谈英语容易的多。因为他和你交谈时会用许多简单词汇，而且不太看学习英语不用花大块的时间，10分钟的散 步可以练"说",吃完饭后可以读一重说法，你只要发音准确，准能顺利地交流下去。只是你必须要有信心，会儿英语小说，睡前听几分钟英语，可以使你得到更好地休息……只要你敢于表达自己的思想。 每天抽出一些时间来练英语，你的英语成绩肯定会很快提高的。 如果没有合适的伙伴也没关系，你可以拿过一本书或其它什么东西做假想背英语单词技巧
对象，对它谈你一天的所见所闻，谈你的快乐，你的悲伤等等，长此坚持1、循环记忆法
下去你的口语肯定会有较大的提高。 艾宾浩斯遗忘曲线
二、多“听” 人的大脑是一个记忆的宝库，人脑经历过的事物，思考过的问题，体验过寻找一切可以听英语的机会。别人用英语交谈时，你应该大胆地去参与，的情感和情绪，练习过的动作，都可以成为人们记忆的内容。例如英文的多听听各种各样人的发音，男女老少，节奏快的慢的你都应该接触到，如学习中单词、短语和句子，甚至文章的内容都是通过记忆完成的。从"记"果这样的机会少的话，你可以选择你不知内容的文章去听，这将会对你帮到"忆"是有个过程的，这其中包括了识记、保持、再认和回忆。有很多 人助很大，而你去听学过的课文的磁带，那将会对你的语言语调的学习有很在学习英语的过程中，只注重了学习当时的记忆效果，孰不知，要想做好大的帮助。 学习的记忆工作，是要下一番工夫的，单纯的注重当时的记忆效果，而忽三、多“读”。 视了后期的保持和再认同样是达不到良好的效果的。
