改善英文問題 (歡迎對英文有心得者)

以教了9年的補習經驗，現居英國，加上自己跟過好多好好的學校同老師，總結如下：

文法 - Grammar：
有好多人都覺得學文法好難，但若然你識加減數，你學文法的能力像無問題了。
首先英文文法的入門是先要認識詞性 - parts of speech；一共有8種。
而所有句子的組成就是由這8種詞性種成。
人地話，一句句子的基本組成是由 S+V+O. 但最基本簡單的是由S+V. 已經可以了。
S 是 Subject 主詞；V 是 Verb 動詞。
例如：
1) Mary ( Subject ) swims ( Verb ).
2) I ( Subject ) buy ( Verb ) a book ( Object ).
由最基本的句子結構，再將詞性加加減減，便會成為更有意思的句子了。

如果想improve 文法，如是全職學生，最簡單：當然是去補習吧！
在職人仕有時俾錢補習社都未必肯收的，唯有找個私人的補習老師。
如果問我讀文法書、做exercise有用嗎？我可以說是無。
因為最大問題是你唔明，唔係你唔識！搵個老師教你，唔明問下，好好多的。
據我知道香港有班大學生group了一班人免費教人英文的，可到

要學習快讀，快讀幾次，才細讀。會好好多。

很有用！

Speaking 臨場是要練的。有足夠經驗，就不會有太大問題。
記住你是個香港人，就算是外國人講英國亦會有fluency問題，只要問題不太大便ok.
如果有機會，可以同身邊的人一齊練下，多點講，一定有好處。
話就話睇電視聽電台對listening有幫助，其實對Speaking亦有很大影響。
再不是的話對鏡練習、聽、唱英文歌，也是不錯的選擇！
（我在香港一EMI Band One 出名英文好的中學裡上英文課時，
外籍老師總愛播英文歌：有pop有70s、80s的，先要我們聽，然後再播幾次，
嘗試讓我們抄D歌詞，播得幾次，寫的歌詞多了，便同我地「開估」，然後唱下！
記住是英文堂，不是音樂堂，但的確對英文水平是一定有幫助的！）
另一位老師是以前地鐵錄音那位女聲，她在英國留海、工作過，並教我們講英文：
一開始講英文要唔好諗，想講咩就講。練了自己的勇氣之後才留意自己的文法等問題。

Listening，嘗試同人講多d、聽多d。
香港一般播的電視劇是美國片，英文相對易聽少少。
睇電視好過聽電台學英文，字幕和演員的表情動作會令你易適應好多！
聽Listening不要每個字聽，而是聽大意便可！

Writing 最重要的是文氣！只要文法不是天花龍鳳，文氣是最重要的。
但隨心所欲的寫，好似你把口講緊咩就寫咩一樣！有個氣勢，由頭到尾的，
會讓人看得很舒服。若文法對而無文氣，那文章很難成為一篇好文章！
當然，練文氣之前請練好你英文的根基！

remember learning English is a long process. try to do it step by step and don't push yourself. here are some of my suggestions:

1. read more
choose some books that you really like and start with something easier. don't force yourself to read things that are too difficult.

2. listen more
choose some songs that you like and listen more. learn the vocab and sentence structure used in the lyrics; or you can watch movies with english subtitles (dvd). then you can listen and read at the same time and learn new vocab.

3. write more
start writing diary/ blog in english may help, too. nobody is going to read it, so you just need to try your best to write it. later when you read it back, you may find yourself making a lot of silly mistakes. then, it means your english has improved!

4. online resources
you may work more on your grammar by doing more online exercises. search a topic that you really want to work on and search ex. to do online. this is convenient.
when you have questions on grammar, you can also come here to find answers. there are many good explanation here. :>

laerning english is not one-day work. it takes a long time. strive hard and don't give up to easily.

5. speak more
when you have chance, practice your spoken english with native speakers such as NET teachers. remember you should learn to read aloud instead of merely remember meaning of vocab and upgrading your english writing skills.
if you want to improve your fluency, you may choose some articles and read them aloud. read it slowly at first and be careful of your pronunciation and intonation.

strive hard!

（一）放膽講英文，唔好怕講錯
（二）睇多d英文書，由淺至深，然後多寫作！
（三）listening時，先睇問題，然後專心地聽下重點。如果有聆聽筆記，可以mark地重點。
