三分钟看明白老外是如何学英语的.

　　首先，我必须要说我是一个很成熟的学生。我有工作，有家庭，有自己的生活要过，我的英文之前虽不算完美但是也是不错的。但是一年前我开始感受到我还是需要提高我的英文。我希望我出国时别人能听懂我说话，发邮件时不用感到恐慌，看报纸时至少大部分内容能看懂(我不要求全部)。于是，我决定做三件事，我想我的英语学习同僚们也应该这样做。

　　1.Find a teacher找一个老师

　　The teacher is, in fact, essential to your learning process. He or she must understand your needs and keep your interests high and your enthusiasm alive, especially when you’re tired or discouraged。

　　事实上，老师是你学习过程中必不可少的一部分。他或她必须明白你的学习目的，保持你的学习兴趣高涨，维护你的学习热情，尤其是当你感到累了或泄气的时候。

　　Your teacher must know what to do or what not to do to make you feel confident and still eager to learn。

　　老师必须知道如何使你感到自信并渴望学习，什么能做，什么不能做，你的老师都要清楚。

　　2.Find something you like and do it in English挖掘你喜欢做的事情，然后用英文去做

　　The second advice I want to share with my fellow students is this: find something you really like and do it in english。

　　我想分享给同胞的第二条经验是：发现你热衷做的事情，然后用英文去做。

　　I love TV dramas, biopics, TV series and entertainment shows like Graham Norton or The David Letterman Show. I started to watch them in English with Italian subtitles, then with English subtitles and, now, I watch them without subtitles!

　　我喜欢看电视剧，传记片，娱乐节目，比如格拉汉姆。诺顿，戴维脱口秀。于是我开始看英文版带意大利语字幕的这类节目，之后看带英文字幕的，现在，我看不带字幕的。

　　After a while I found myself able to capture the deeper meaning of the dialogue and, as an old Italian proverb says, ‘I’ve started to understand not only the language but the culture behind it (the dialogue)’。

　　经过一段时间，我发现我可以理解对话中更深层的意义，正如一句古老的意大利谚语所说：“我开始从对话中理解埋藏在语言表面下的深层文化内涵。”

　　3. Establish a routine建立程序

　　I have an “English” routine. Just as athletes run or swim every day not to lose their fitness, I watch English TV every evening. It doesn’t matter whether it’s Downton Abbey or The Graham Norton Show, I just feel better if I listen to or watch just a little bit of my favourite programmes。

　　我有一套自己的英语”例行公事“。就像运动员每天跑步或游泳以保持身材，我每天晚上看英语电视节目。无论是《唐顿庄园》还是《格拉汉姆。诺顿》，只要我看一下，哪怕是一点点我喜欢的节目，我就感觉非常不错。
