背诵新概念的正确方法和体会（必看）（总结）

谭明 — Sun, 28 Dec 2008 05:57:00 GMT

       新概念作为风靡全球的经典教材，看到大家对它如此的热情，我无比的感动，可见到各位学习它的方法，作为已经“背”完新概念全四册的我，又深表忧虑。
      两年前，我也是新概念的忠实追随者，买齐全套后，恨不得一个月就把它全部学完，先后尝试过很多的方法，比如听说读写最传统的方法，提的最多的在理解的基础上背诵全文的方法，逆向法等等，可拼命学了半年后收获甚微，期间我不止一次的问自己，大家公认的好教材，为什么就没有多大的进展呢？传统的方法背诵大量的课文后效果并不见好的例子也数不胜数，后来在一个新东方的讲座中我突然醒悟，英语不是用来学的，也不是靠大脑的去背诵就行，英语是一种语言，而不是一门学问，征服它唯一的办法就是机械的操练，直至拖口而出；从那后我彻底改变了观念，就一条：大声的机械的操练。
     具体操作很简单，在读每一篇课文前先把单词读熟，然后就反复的读课文，直到封上书能拖口而出后再理解课文的意思，先读烂后理解的顺序非常重要，然后就把那页撕了仍掉，再继续下一课，这种用嘴机械的操练与用脑背诵有本质的区别，虽然结果都差不多，最后都能复述完全课文，但
效果是天壤之别。
1：读的次数完全不同：背诵第二册一篇课文一般读二十遍就可以了，记忆好的也就读十遍足以，但要靠嘴脱口而出的话至少要200遍以上
2：培养语感的效果完全不同：当你在用传统的方法背诵课文的时候一般先对课文的中文意思有个全面的了解，然后完全是根据对课文的中文理解再逐步的记忆英文，这样长久下去你永远逃不出汉语的干扰，永远学不会真正的纯英语思维，在以后阅读和听英语时你自然也会有一个英译汉的过程，特别是听又快又长的篇章和阅读大量文章时无法提速，如果你从一开始读英文时就养成了避开中文意思，纯英文思维的话，虽然初期有点困难，久而久之就能培养真正的英语语感和思维。
3：能否掌握新概念的真正精髓：很多人都认为新概念的精髓是它课文的内容，于是花了花了大量的工夫在理解的基础上背诵英语，理解的基础上说白了就是依赖中文的过程，并且还提倡什么循环记忆法，把新概念
所有的课文内容都记得很牢，说白了也是把汉语意思了如指掌，其实很不然，那些优美的故事根本就不是最重要的，你不可能在每次和人交流时就是把新概念的课文内容背给对方，重要的是能否系统的培养你的语感和英语思维，当你对每篇课文不是靠记忆，而是反复的操练到拖口而出后，随着时间的推移就算内容都忘记了根本就不重要，因为你的语感和英语思维习惯在操练的过程中培养起来了，所以说新概念的经典不是说它的课文内容很重要，而是能系统的培养的你的语感和英语思维习惯，而培养习惯的唯一办法就是疯狂的操练，机械般的操练，而不是靠记住新概念课文的意思，当然，每篇课文操练到拖口而出后也要大概了解一下大概意思。
4：优缺点：传统的背诵方法背得确实要快一点，而机械操练要费时间的多，特别是第三册后面的课文，有些要疯狂机械操练一星期后才能拿下，同时，当你的能力提高后在继续操练下一遍课文时难免会在脑海中浮出本文中文意思，千万要记住抑制它的出现，此时读时最好分点心思在机械操练到拖口而出前最好对课文的中文意思一点都不要了解，以免影响英语思维的习惯，先读后理解和先理解后读的顺序特别重要。
5：总结：“熟读唐诗三百首，不会做诗也会吟”里面强调的也是熟读，而不是靠记忆背诵，很多人都背过新概念或别的教材，时间和精力花了很多，可最后效果还是提不上去，就算他循环再背，也最多把新概念的内容记住了，而语感效果并不好，并且在阅读和听英语时默默养成了英译汉的毛病，阅读和听力永远就不能更进一步的提速和提高，因为他在阅读和听的时候会过分的注意单个词含义，但如果你的英语思维上去了就算有不少的生词和词组你照样可以顺利的继续读下去和听下去，因为你已没有英译汉的习惯了。
当我的书撕到第三册30课的时候我四级就过了，三册刚撕完六级也以78的成绩通过，现在我第四册也基本撕完了
前几册课文的中文大概意思也忘了不少，但深知英语水平比身边那些靠传统背诵，课文内容记得倒深刻的同学强
许多，四册完了后我准备用同样的方法机械操练VOA，另外，听力方面我比较赞同李阳的一本磁带法，只要你的语感和
英语思维习惯养成了，根本就不存在听力的问题，一盘VOA足以让你了解到所有连读，吞音等习惯

Yeah,Yeah,Yeah! Like I had said before,there must have been a product like this.I finally found it.The essential oil maintenance I just bought was really cool and easy to use.The only thing I have to do is to apply some essential oil lotion to my face slightly and put on a sparse layer of oil moisture cream after taking off my make-up and cleaning my face.If I don't feel tired after that,I can use my secret weapon--essential oil facial scrub.First,I bathed myself and lit a stick of incense.Wow..every corner of my room was filled with the fragrance I liked most.Then,I massaged my face in a circular motion from front to back.That was so great.I felt so relieved and was in a good mood.
I might have a good sleep later.

Every time when I am very late getting home from work,I always sit in front of the dresser,staring at the lotion,eye serum,masks,and don't know what to do next.Just thinking about taking off my make-up,I feel very lazy.But when I look at myself with a face full of make-up in the mirror,I suddenly turn very alert so that I take care of my face right away,I don't want to continue like this.How come no one invented an all-in-one product that I can use to take care of my face in a simple way?It's really troublesome to be a woman sometimes.

     I felt very happy because my friend gave me the latest Japanese fingernail art book.As I opened the book and read it,I discovered many beautiful and fascinating pictures in it.I picked out a very cute picture,followed every step in the book,and painted my fingernails with bright colors.
    It suddenly struck me that I might open a fingernail painting salon.In my shop,there would be more than just fingernail painting.It might include a hairedressing salon.That way,people wouldn't feel bored when they stepped into the shop.The customers could talk to the hair dresser and the manicurist at the same time about what fingernail paint and hairstyle they'd like.And people would enjoy the luxurious services of having their hair styled and having their fingernails painted.Moreover,I would make the price as low as possible because the fingernail painting is too expensive.
    It will be so wonderful if my dream comes true.

I've rarely had a whole-day vacation like today.I had planned to sleep a little more but I woke up very early.It was a long time until I had to meet my close friends that afternoon. "Why not put on some good make-up since it is still early?" I thought.And then,I opened my magic make-up box and found a lot of things inside.Since I have had enough sleep recently and my skin is in good condition,light make-up might be good for me today.
After that,I surprisingly found myself to be extremely beautiful.This was my first time to go out with just face powder,blush,and lip gloss.In spite of the might make-up I had on,I still wanted my eyelashes to be thicker. As it turned out,it's easy to have a good day only by putting on light make-up.

I bought the latest cosmetics today.I was so happy that I talked to my close friends,but I was shocked to be considered very unwise.They told me that there was going to be an anniversary sale next week.To my surprise,one of them even said,"That doesn't matter to you at all,You can make a lot of money."Come on! How could a friend say that?I am so sad! Didn't they know that I would not be in Taiwan next week?Besides,every time when I want to buy cosmetics,I always have to think about where I can get what I want."Madam,can I have the long mascara,face protector,long-lasing lipstick and ..." I always ask the clerk.The truth is that I have little time to notice if there is any discount or free samples.Ahh! It might be better if my close frineds can get all the cosmetics for me next time.After all,females do care about the prices.
I still felt bad about the expensive cosmetics until going to bed...
