学好英语的演讲稿 篇1

All of you, and judge teachers and classmates: good morning, I am very glad to attend the speech contest, today I'm going to give you a speech topic is "how to learn English well"...

English is important in the modern world. It is spoken all over the world. But a few students don’t learn English well. So they want to drop English. I suggest that you shouldn’t give up English, because English is used in many countries as the first or second language. Most business letters are written in English. It is helpful for you to work in the future. If you don’t know English, you will fall behind others in future.

How can you learn English well? First, you should persevere. It’s true that English is sometimes really very difficult for us. But if you have a good method of learning, I think you will be good at it. Both English listening and speaking are the most difficult for almost every beginner. Sometimes, it seems impossible to learn. But I think if you do a lot of practice, you will make progress, you should speak more and listen more often. You’d better speak English with your classmates as often as possible not only in class but also out of class. I advise you to buy a radio, so you can listen to some English programmes over the radio. Then you will travel in the world of you do that, you’ll be able to learn English well easily, and you’ll like English very much.

I hope all of you will become good at English step by step.

And you can study English in some advises:

1. Listen to BBC news persistently to improve your English hearing.

2. Read more and more English books, especially those written by English native speakers to expand your vocabulary as well as reading capability.

3. Try to speak in English when it's need to get rid of shyness and your spoken English will improve greatly.

4. Of course, to chat with native speakers, if possible, is a good method for learning English. Or you may chat with them on-line since you've time to log onto the Internet.

5. To watch English movies or TV plays is another option for learning English.

关于如何学好英语演讲稿篇2:How To Learn English!

Here are some tips which may help you to master the English Language!

Speak without Fear

The biggest problem most people face in learning a new language is their own fear. They worry that they won’t say things correctly or that they will look stupid so they don’t talk at all. Don’t do this. The fastest way to learn anything is to do it – again and again until you get it right. Like anything, learning English requires practice. Don’t let a little fear stop you from getting what you want.

Use all of your Resources

Even if you study English at a language school it doesn’t mean you can’t learn outside of class. Using as many different sources, methods and tools as possible, will allow you to learn faster. There are many different ways you can improve your English, so don’t limit yourself to only one or two. The internet is a fantastic resource for virtually anything, but for the language learner it's perfect.

Surround Yourself with English

The absolute best way to learn English is to surround yourself with it. Take notes in English, put English books around your room, listen to English language radio broadcasts, watch English news, movies and television. Speak English with your friends whenever you can. The more English material that you have around you, the faster you will learn and the more likely it is that you will begin “thinking in English.” .

Listen to Native Speakers as Much as Possible

There are some good English teachers that have had to learn English as a second language before they could teach it. However, there are several reasons why many of the best schools prefer to hire native English speakers. One of the reasons is that native speakers have a natural flow to their speech that students of English should try to imitate. The closer ESL / EFL students can get to this rhythm or flow, the more convincing and comfortable they will become.

Watch English Films and Television

This is not only a fun way to learn but it is also very effective. By watching English films (especially those with English subtitles) you can expand your vocabulary and hear the flow of speech from the actors. If you listen to the news you can also hear different accents.

Listen to English Music

Music can be a very effective method of learning English. In fact, it is often used as a way of improving comprehension. The best way to learn though, is to get the lyrics (words) to the songs you are listening to and try to read them as the artist sings. There are several good internet sites where one can find the words for most songs. This way you can practice your listening and reading at the same time. And if you like to sing, fine.

Study As Often As Possible!

Only by studying things like grammar and vocabulary and doing exercises, can you really improve your knowledge of any language.

Do Exercises and Take Tests

Many people think that exercises and tests aren't much fun. However, by completing exercises and taking tests you can really improve your English. One of the best reasons for doing lots of exercises and tests is that they give you a benchmark to compare your future results with. Often, it is by comparing your score on a test you took yesterday with one you took a month or six months ago that you realize just how much you have learned. If you never test yourself, you will never know how much you are progressing. Start now by doing some of the many exercises and tests on this site, and return in a few days to see what you've learned. Keep doing this and you really will make some progress with English.

Record Yourself

Nobody likes to hear their own voice on tape but like tests, it is good to compare your tapes from time to time. You may be so impressed with the progress you are making that you may not mind the sound of your voice as much.

Listen to English

By this, we mean, speak on the phone or listen to radio broadcasts, audiobooks or CDs in English. This is different than watching the television or films because you can’t see the person that is speaking to you. Many learners of English say that speaking on the phone is one of the most difficult things that they do and the only way to improve is to practice.

Finally

Have fun!

学好英语的演讲稿 篇2

想学好英语,首先要培养对英语的兴趣。“兴趣是最好的老师”,兴趣是学习英语的巨大动力,有了兴趣,学习就会事半功倍。有的同学说:“我一看到英语就头疼,怎么能培养对英语的兴趣呢?”还有的同学说:“英语单词我今天记了明天忘,我太笨了,唉,我算没治了。”这都是缺乏信心的表现。练好基本功是学好英语的必要条件,要想基本功扎实,必须全神贯注地认真听讲,上好每一节课,提高课堂效率,脚踏实地、一步一个脚印地,做到以下“五到”:

一、“心到”。在课堂上应聚精会神,一刻也不能懈怠,大脑要始终处于积极状态,思维要活跃、思路要开阔,心随老师走,听懂每一句话,抓住每一个环节,理解每一个知识点,多联想、多思考,做到心领神会。

二、“手到”。学英语,一定要做课堂笔记。因为人的记忆力是有限的,人不可能都过目不忘,记忆本身就是不断与遗忘作斗争的过程。常言说,“好脑筋不如烂笔头”。老师讲的知识可能在课堂上记住了,可是过了一段时间,就会忘记,所以,做好笔记很有必要。英语知识也是一点点积累起来的,学到的每一个单词、词组以及句型结构,都记在笔记本上,甚至是书的空白处或字里行间,这对以后的复习巩固都是非常方便的。

三、“耳到”。在课堂上,认真听讲是十分必要的,不但要专心听老师对知识的讲解,而且要认真听老师说英语的语音、语调、重音、连读、失去爆破、断句等发音要领,以便培养自己纯正地道的英语口语。听见听懂老师传授的每一个知识点,在头脑里形成反馈以帮助记忆;理解领会老师提出的问题,以便迅速作答,对比同学对问题的回答,以加深对问题的理解而取别人之长补自己之短。

四、“眼到”。在认真听讲的同时,还要双眼紧随老师观察老师的动作、口形、表情、板书、绘图、教具展示等。大脑里形成的视觉信息和听觉信息相结合,印象就会更加深刻。

五、“口到”。学习语言,不张嘴不动口是学不好的,同学们最大的毛病是读书不出声,害羞不敢张嘴。尤其是早读课,同学们只是用眼看或默读,这样就只有视觉信息,而没有听觉信息在大脑里的反馈,当然记忆也不会太深刻,口部肌肉也得不到锻炼,也就很难练就一口纯正的英语。所以,要充分利用早晨头脑清醒的时间,大声朗读;课堂上要勇跃回答老师提问、积极参与同学间讨论和辩论,课下对不清楚的问题及时提出,要克服害羞心理,不耻下问。对学过的课文要多读、勤读、苦读,可以跟录音机读,竭力模仿其语音语调以纠正发音,要读得抑扬顿挫朗朗上口,一些精典文章最好能背得滚爪烂熟。利用一切可能的机会,练习英语口语,比如,与外教交流、参加“英语角”活动、与同学进行对话、讲英语故事、唱英文歌曲、演英语短剧、进行诗歌朗诵等。除了对课本中的范文要细读精读之外,还要多看些适合我们中学生的课外读物,既可增长知识,又开阔了我们的视野,也提高了我们的阅读水平。学英语,词汇的记忆是必不可少的,词汇是学好英语的基础,没有了词汇,也就谈不上句子,更谈不上文章,所以记单词对我们就显得极其重要。

记忆单词关键有二:

一是持之以恒:每天坚持记忆一定量的词汇,过几天再回头复习一次,这样周期循环,反复记忆,经常使用,就会变短时记忆为长时记忆并牢固掌握。需要注意的是,一旦开始,就要坚持下来,千万不能半途而废,切不可三天打鱼,两天晒网。

二是良好的记忆方法:记忆单词的方法很多,学无定法,但学有良法。张思中的“集中识词,分类记忆”不失为一种适合中学生的好方法。把中学生应掌握的3500个单词集中汇总,分门别类,先过单词关,然后再学教材,在课本中使用和巩固它们的用法。分类的方法有多种,同一元音或元音字母组合发音相同的单词归为一类;根据词形词性、同义词反义词等集中记忆;把相同词根、前缀、后缀、合成、转化、派生等构词法相同的单词或词组列在一起集中识记印象比较深刻,记忆效果也比较明显。这样每天记40-80个单词,坚持不懈,多联想,多思考,多使用,词汇问题不就解决了吗?在学习的过程中多注视单词的用法和词组的搭配,牢记老师讲过的单词惯用法和句型,这样不仅有助于我们解题,而且在写作时也会信手拈来,运用自如。

英语是一种语言,不是记住了单词、词组、句型和语法项目就是把它学好了,关键在于使用语言,所以在学习英语时一定要注意听、说、读、写、译全面发展。英语学习首先是一个记忆过程,然后才是实践过程。学习英语,无论如何,勤奋是不可少的,它是一个日积月累的渐进过程,是没有任何捷径可走的,也没有所谓“速成”的灵丹妙方,急于求成,不做踏实工作,是学不好英语的。任何成功的获得都要靠自己的努力,要踏踏实实、勤勤恳恳、兢兢业业、一步一个脚印地学习,端正态度,认真对待学习中的挫折和失败。失败并不可怕,可怕的是对自己丧失信心而一蹶不振。对考试的失败,冷静分析,认真思考,只要对胜利充满信心,善于总结经验教训,不断努力,不断追求,胜利一定是属于你们的

天生的才干如同天然的植物一样,需要靠学习来修剪。我们每位同学都在努力地学习,最终成果如何,还要看我们修剪的技巧。

英语是我们如今都非常重视的一种语言。在学校里大家都要上英语课,可是有的同学上英语课就象听天书一样,听不懂。越是听不懂就越是对学好英语失去信心。其实,学英语并不难,学英语就象交朋友一样。朋友是越交越熟的,天天见面,朋友之间就变得亲密无间了。

怎么与英语“交朋友”呢?老话说“光说不练假把式”,可着句话用到英语上就不灵了。英语就是要读。多听、多读、多模仿。大声读!大声读对自己就是一种鼓励。读的多了,就会背了,语感就养成了。不少同学不敢大声读英语,怕读错了同学们笑话,搞不好还会被老师批评。其实犯错并没有什么大不了的,学英语就是要无法无天,要天不怕地不怕。不要畏惧读英语,读错是很正常的,学习哪有不犯错的?我也经常读错,但我知道,错了再改,我就跑到了前面。

《疯狂英语》的创始人李阳老师曾经说过:nonlybeacquiredthroughconstantpracticesweatandtears!

英语不是学出来的,而是在汗水疯狂练出来的!

我相信在座的同学没有人会象抱怨英语难一样抱怨汉语难吧?因为我们天天听天天用,用多了,自然就会了。其实,我们为何不能尽力为自己创造一个象这样的英语环境呢?和同学说英语、和老师说英语、和家长说英语。实在没法就和自己说英语。一有机会我们就可以努力用英语来思考。看到眼前的事物,想想它们的英文名字,还可以用它们来造个英语句子。这种不断的积累和运用可以让我们对英语更亲切、更熟悉。古今中外有学问、有成就的人,总是十分注意积累的。知识就是积累起来的,经验也是积累起来的。我们对什么事情都不应该成“过眼云烟”。有一位伟人曾说,反复操练是非常有必要的,你越多地将所学到的东西运用到实际生活中,它们就变得越自然。记住,天才不过是因为勤奋而已。

学习,难免要碰钉子。俗话说:世上没有不带刺的玫瑰。不要因为一次失败,就放弃你原本决心要达到的目的。前车之覆,后车之鉴,每次失败后获取的经验,都是一笔宝贵的财富。把英语大声地读出来,不要有任何顾虑,永远不要怀疑自己。和卫星上天比起来,英语根本算不了什么。

采得百花成蜜后,为谁辛苦为谁甜。踏踏实实地学,学习就象是一条充满泥泞的小路,只有经过了风雨,才可以见到美丽的彩虹。

学好英语的演讲稿 篇6

Good morning, everyone! My name is Huang Yuke. I’m from Class 7, Grade 8. Today, I’ll tell you something about the best way to learn foreign languages. In schools boys and girls are learning foreign languages. English is one of the most important languages because so many people use it, not only in England and America, but also in other countries of the world. It is difficult to say how many people are learning it. Millions of boys and girls at school are trying to do it. Which is the best way to learn a language? We know that we all learnt our own language well when we were children. If we learn a second language in the same way and it won’t be so difficult. How does a small child do? It listens to what people say, and he tries to guess what he hears. When he wants something, he has to ask for it. He is using the language, thinking in it and talking in it all the time. If people use a second language all the time, they will learn it quickly. In school, you learn to read, to write, to hear and to speak. It is best to learn all new words through the ear. You can read them, spell them and write them later. That’s all. Thank you.

学好英语的演讲稿 篇7

英语是一种世界性语言,全世界二分之一的电话是用英语进行的,四分之三的报刊书籍是英文版的长期以来都是世界上使用最广泛的语言。学好英语,就等于打开了世界的一扇窗户,你可以享受到更广泛的资讯。那么如何学好英语呢?

一、培养学习英语的兴趣

俗话说,“兴趣是最好的老师”。那么我们怎样产生对英语学习的兴趣呢。其实同学们只要认真学习英语,你就会发现英语和我们汉语一样是很美的,读起来朗朗上口,写起来也非常流利,把学英语当成一个开心而愉快的美差,而不是硬着头皮、头悬梁、锥刺骨的苦力。。兴趣在"实践"中产生和发展的。

如果在学英语的过程中,你能够尽早地尝试使用所学的英语,那么你学习英语的兴趣将日益增加。和热爱英语的人在一起",爱"是可以相互传递的。俗话说:近朱者赤近墨者黑。你们应该与喜爱英语的人交朋友,这样,你们对英语的爱就会相互影响、变得更强烈。你有几个喜好学英语的朋友,你们就会组成英语学习小组,一起学习阅读、口语、写作。

二、要有良好的学习态度(信心+恒心)

要想学好英语,首先要有信心。同学们:你相信自己能学好英语吗?别人能学会,我们也能学会。

同时,要想学好英语,还要有恒心。学英语是一个漫长的过程,在这之中难免会遇到困难,学英语要一鼓作气,天天坚持,记住:扎实的语言基本功是要靠勤学苦练、日积月累才能得来的,只有那些意志坚强的人才能够取得最终的成功。

三、要有良好的学习习惯和学习方法。

(一)学习习惯方面:

1.认真听课、积极参与课堂教学的习惯。要抓住课堂这一学习的主要阵地。英语课上,认真听老师讲课,同学发言。英语课上,同学们要积极主动,大胆开口练习说英语,一定不要怕出错,通过实践掌握英语的表达方式。

2.记笔记,整理笔记的习惯。听老师讲课或同学讲解时,要记好重点内容,以便将来查用。

3.背诵重点句子和课文的习惯。学习英语是一种模仿,即俗话说的比着葫芦画瓢。只有多记多背,脑子里有了葫芦才能画出瓢来。

4.纠错的习惯。准备一个纠错本,随时整理错题,还要加上注释。纠正错误即进步。

5.及时复习的习惯.单词、句型、课文、语法等很容易遗忘,因此我们要养成及时复习的习惯。

6.用英语与别人沟通的习惯。

(二)学习方法方面:

1.单词的记忆。

1)根据读音记写法,长词还要学会划分音节,分段记单词。尽量不要一个字母一个字母地背。在短语或句子中记意思。要在运用中去记忆。另外记忆单词要利用多种方法,比如分类记忆:我们把动物的有关词汇放在一起,把有关校园的有关词汇放在一起,或者天文,地理,等等。对比记忆;把同音词、同义词、反义词放在一起进行对比,效果会更好。构词法记忆:合成法,即两个单词放在一起组成一个新单词。派生法,即通过加前缀或后缀的方法构成新词。2.)及时复习,克服遗忘。

著名的艾宾浩斯遗忘曲线”告诉我们遗忘的规律是“先快后慢,先多后少“。因而不要指望一次复习就能高枕无忧。不仅在学后当天,在一天后、一周后、一月后以及在你需要用它的任何时候之前都应安排复习。上课认真听讲,及时记忆。我们记忆单词一次不要太多,5-10个,一次不要时间太长。准备一个小的单词积累本,可利用零散时间经常复习,和遗忘做斗争。如利用早操前,睡觉前,课间,饭后等时间。还要有恒心和毅力,不能三天打渔两天晒网。通过不断积累,词汇量一定会大大增加。

2.培养阅读能力.

1)要养成良好的阅读心理。阅读时心绪要安定,精神要集中,不要一遇到几个生词难句,就心烦意乱,过分紧张的情绪会影响大脑的正常思维功能。

2)培养猜词能力。可利用构词法、上下文猜测词义。

3)提高阅读速度。阅读不同于朗读,有的同学虽不出声但是嘴在动,会大大影响阅读速度。因此阅读时应做到眼动嘴不动,嘴里的小舌也不要动。另外,阅读时眼球总是不断地移动---停顿----移动着,理解是在眼停的瞬间进行的。我们要使眼停的时间相对增加,就要扩大视读的广度,把逐词逐句的点式阅读变成一次扫描一句的线式阅读,并且把看到的东西迅速报告给大脑,形成眼脑较快的直映能力。咱们语文速读有一目十行的方法,英语阅读一目一句怎么样?一定不要在个别难懂的词句上磨蹭,而影响阅读的速度。

4)学会找主题句。主题句往往在每段的开头,因此我们一定要重视每段的第一句。当然,主题句也可能在一段的最后,或在一段的中间。要灵活把握。主题句是概括性的句子。

5)较长或较难的文章可以先看问题,再读文章。

四、要有良好的学习英语的氛围。这需要我们师生共同努力,不仅英语课上尽量多使用英语,课下也要多使用英语。大大方方地说,不要怕出错,不怕别人笑话,就像小孩学说话,练得多了,自然水平就提高了。Don/tbeshy!Justtry!

同学们,“一份耕耘,一份收获”,成功的大门向勇于探索,勇于攀登的人敞开的,只要大家,刻苦努力,持之以恒,再加以正确的方法,同学们就一定会把英语学好,就一定会获得成功!最后祝同学们学习顺利。

关于如何学好英语演讲稿篇4:How To Learn English!

Here are some tips which may help you to master the English Language!

Speak without Fear

The biggest problem most people face in learning a new language is their own fear. They worry that they won’t say things correctly or that they will look stupid so they don’t talk at all. Don’t do this. The fastest way to learn anything is to do it – again and again until you get it right. Like anything, learning English requires practice. Don’t let a little fear stop you from getting what you want.

Use all of your Resources

Even if you study English at a language school it doesn’t mean you can’t learn outside of class. Using as many different sources, methods and tools as possible, will allow you to learn faster. There are many different ways you can improve your English, so don’t limit yourself to only one or two. The internet is a fantastic resource for virtually anything, but for the language learner it's perfect.

The more English material that you have around you, the faster you will learn and the more likely it is that you will begin “thinking in English.” .

There are some good English teachers that have had to learn English as a second language before they could teach it. However, there are several reasons why many of the best schools prefer to hire native English speakers. One of the reasons is that native speakers have a natural flow to their speech that students of English should try to imitate. The closer ESL / EFL students can get to this rhythm or flow, the more convincing and comfortable they will become.

Watch English Films and Television

This is not only a fun way to learn but it is also very effective. By watching English films (especially those with English subtitles) you can expand your vocabulary and hear the flow of speech from the actors. If you listen to the news you can also hear different accents.

Listen to English Music

Music can be a very effective method of learning English. In fact, it is often used as a way of improving comprehension. The best way to learn though, is to get the lyrics (words) to the songs you are listening to and try to read them as the artist sings. There are several good internet sites where one can find the words for most songs. This way you can practice your listening and reading at the same time. And if you like to sing, fine.

Study As Often As Possible!

Only by studying things like grammar and vocabulary and doing exercises, can you really improve your knowledge of any language.

Do Exercises and Take Tests

Many people think that exercises and tests aren't much fun. However, by completing exercises and taking tests you can really improve your English. One of the best reasons for doing lots of exercises and tests is that they give you a benchmark to compare your future results with. Often, it is by comparing your score on a test you took yesterday with one you took a month or six months ago that you realize just how much you have learned. If you never test yourself, you will never know how much you are progressing. Start now by doing some of the many exercises and tests on this site, and return in a few days to see what you've learned. Keep doing this and you really will make some progress with English.

Record Yourself

Nobody likes to hear their own voice on tape but like tests, it is good to compare your tapes from time to time. You may be so impressed with the progress you are making that you may not mind the sound of your voice as much.

Listen to English

By this, we mean, speak on the phone or listen to radio broadcasts, audiobooks or CDs in English. This is different than watching the television or films because you can’t see the person that is speaking to you. Many learners of English say that speaking on the phone is one of the most difficult things that they do and the only way to improve is to practice.

Finally

Have fun!
