2、什么又是語言呢？在美國傳統(tǒng)字典里對語言Language的解釋是：The use by human beings of voice sounds, and often written symbols representing these sounds, in organized combinations and patterns in order to express and communicate thoughts and feelings. 翻譯成漢語就是：人類聲音的使用，并且經(jīng)常是代表這些聲音的文字符號，并以有條理的組合和形式出現(xiàn)，目的是為了表達(dá)和交流思想和感情。簡而言之，語言包括漢語、英

3、語、法語、德語、日語、韓語等等，是人們用來交流和溝通的工具。工具誕生和存在的意義是被有效的使用，而不是讓人們終生學(xué)習(xí)“使用說明”和“制作方法”。語言的應(yīng)用無外乎兩個(gè)方面，讀和寫。盡管絕大部分的國人對于英文寫作的水平有限，但是經(jīng)歷了這么多年的考試的歷練，至少還是得到了一定程度的鍛煉，可以應(yīng)付一般的交流，當(dāng)然是在沒有十分苛刻要求的前提下。盡管語言最主要的應(yīng)用是說，通過聲音的交流。很不幸，在傳統(tǒng)教育的體制下，英語語言表述的能力被殘忍并有效的忽略了，原因很簡單，因?yàn)橹锌疾豢?，高考也不考，甚至大學(xué)的畢業(yè)證、學(xué)位證和口語能力也沒有直接的在考核方面的掛鉤。試想如果我們從小一路走來，在學(xué)習(xí)英語的時(shí)候，口語能力

4、的考核就開始要求。那么在大學(xué)畢業(yè)的時(shí)候，每一個(gè)同學(xué)都可以說一口倍兒地道的帶有中式口音的英語了。學(xué)習(xí)英語的目的是用來與人交流和溝通的，如果不想讓自己多年學(xué)習(xí)英語的辛苦付諸東流，從現(xiàn)在起，就要開始練習(xí)開口說了！筆者對于英語的學(xué)習(xí)和研究也有十幾年的歷史，對于口語的水平也是略通皮毛。點(diǎn)滴心得希望與大家分享。英語口語的學(xué)習(xí)其實(shí)與嬰兒學(xué)話的過程是一樣的。再次問一下自己，“如果以分鐘累加計(jì)算，我們曾經(jīng)開口講英語的時(shí)間是多少呢？”注意，此處一定是自己開口說的時(shí)間，是與 他人用英語交談的時(shí)間減去他人講話時(shí)間。一個(gè)星期！相信這是一個(gè)比較實(shí)際的平均值，可能還有略低。大家用自己的發(fā)達(dá)腦細(xì)胞琢磨一下，一個(gè)星期就想把英語

5、說的流利地道，這可能嗎？充其量也就是一個(gè)美國幼兒園水平，絕對不會(huì)超過小學(xué)生水平。嬰兒是如何學(xué)會(huì)開口講話的呢？無論任何國家任何地區(qū)任何民族的小孩子的語言能力都是從叫爸爸媽媽開始，逐漸說一些簡單的并且一定程度上帶有語法錯(cuò)誤或者詞匯使用不當(dāng)?shù)木渥樱缓蟛攀橇囊恍┖唵蔚娜粘５脑掝}，（顯然，談朝核問題是不行的），隨著接受家庭、學(xué)校和社會(huì)教育，5年左右的時(shí)間就可以很流暢應(yīng)用英語了。所以，不要幻想，我們是大學(xué)生或者成年人，就要談那些用漢語可以隨心所欲交流的生僻的話題，比如軍事、歷史、政治、文學(xué)等等。首先，我們要很謙虛謹(jǐn)慎的給自己一個(gè)定位我們僅僅是幼兒園以下的水平。如果我們可以很平和的接受自己的定位，那么，英

6、語口語學(xué)習(xí)的征途就可以啟程了！在后面的幾個(gè)章節(jié)中，對于口語的練習(xí)都有詳細(xì)的方法和計(jì)劃。希望大家可以按照要求不斷地練習(xí)，也祝福大家在口語能力方面會(huì)有一個(gè)質(zhì)的飛躍！本文，盡量在書寫和材料篩選上增強(qiáng)知識性和趣味性，并認(rèn)真的做了一些修訂，但由于筆者水平有限，難免會(huì)有諸多的錯(cuò)誤和不足！歡迎大家批評指正交流?。╠ouglas_zhao） 更多的學(xué)習(xí)資料和交流請登錄道格拉斯英語論壇：第二章 英文單句復(fù)述練習(xí)時(shí)間：不低于24小時(shí)（以分鐘為單位累加計(jì)算）。3小時(shí)/天，即8天；1小時(shí)/天，即24天；半小時(shí)/天，48天；時(shí)間不確定或者無法堅(jiān)持的同學(xué)，還是堅(jiān)定不易的飄過吧！推薦每天練習(xí)1-3個(gè)小時(shí)；練習(xí)方法：1 讀一
