My English Study

Before I consider this article, I am used to think it in Chinese but another inspiration hit me when I was reading the IELTS learning articles. Well, I am going to finish my experience in English. Hopefully, it can give you a flavor of IELTS development.

It is no doubt that our English study is a big engineer. You cannot separate it into different parts in different times. So does your IELTS learning. However, most people here would like to make progress in short term. What can I say is keeping practicing. There are lots of ways of doing that in the websites. On the other hand, you must remember that this is compensation to your English because you are lack of accumulated exercises before.

Some errors are still remaining in my English, even when I am writing this article. Hopefully, some people who can point them out please let me know. We can both polish our English and make good marks in IELTS, Tofel, GRE, GMAT, etc. Now, I am going to go back to trace my experience which I would like to share.

I started to learn English when I was 12 years old. At that time, I was just a childish boy. Maybe I have the language gift. My English exam grade was higher than my classmates. However, when I went to high school, my grade was down to fail level because I was crazy about my table-tennis games. My Mum was anger with this but my gift might be still there. When I went to the exam of National University Entrance, my English part was back. I passed the exam and became a deputy of University English Class.

My University life was spent with English. In fact, when all the classmates around me were playing or learning other subjects, English was my lover because I would not let my tutor down. I was a deputy of English class so I study English harder than other diligences. There came the results that I failed in other diligences but my English is the best in my class.

At that time, there were no English native speakers who taught students in my University. I had to pretend to be a teacher in the University to join the English training class for teachers. I made it and it brought me with native speaker face to face talking experience. I overcame the shyness and fear to talk in reality. I said goodbye to deaf-and-dumb English from that time on.

Later on, I studied in New Oriental English training school. I met Mr. Wang, Qiang who can speak native English but he is a Chinese. I made my mind to be like him. In that school, there are many of English master-hands. Mr. Hu, Min taught me writing. Mr. Wang,Qiang taught me speaking and Mr. Jiang, Bo guided me how to learn English by <New Conception> books. It took me a year to forge my English full-timely. I wore the earphone to listen to joy fm and easy fm all day all night so it brought me a pure English around surrounding. Then I found that my Chinese was retrogressing. Now, my wife is still laughing at me by this.

After study in Beijing, I went to the UK for my master degree. However, I just have Tofel grade rather than IELTS. Therefore, I have to study IELTS in the UK. Fortunately, my English environment is fairly better than Beijing. Finally, I had 6.5 in IELTS(A) by six-month-study.

To conclusion, if you would like to have an enhanced mark in IELTS, I would like to suggest you some points:

1. Love English and keep practicing.
2. Give you a good language environment
3. Do English jobs
4. Practicing by English Bibles.
5. Think in English way.


[FONT=宋体]在这里,我不得不用汉语说明一下,因为涉及的具体的事物的时候,我很难做到用英语思考。这就是为什么我要移民,我要送儿子到国外念书,因为我不是天生的[/FONT]bilinguals.

1. [FONT=宋体]对英语有一种狂热[/FONT],[FONT=宋体]这样能促使人养成很多学习英语的习惯[/FONT],[FONT=宋体]比如喜爱英文电影[/FONT],[FONT=宋体]听英文歌曲并且学唱[/FONT],[FONT=宋体]喜爱英文电视剧[/FONT],[FONT=宋体]钻研剧本等等[/FONT].
2. [FONT=宋体]在国内很难找到英语环境[/FONT],[FONT=宋体]要么天天听广播要么找个语伴[/FONT],[FONT=宋体]因此最好住在大中城市[/FONT],[FONT=宋体]这样[/FONT]fm[FONT=宋体]中就有广播节目,不用天天调[/FONT]voa[FONT=宋体]或者[/FONT]bbc[FONT=宋体],当然用网络也能解决问题,但是找语伴就得在大中城市中比较容易了,中小城市老外很少涉足,咱们找起来也不容易!成龙学英语就是找的英语家教,要不他也没念过几年书怎么能学得那么快呢,就是语言环境![/FONT]
3. [FONT=宋体]有条件的找能用英语的工作,最好能道说英语的国家,也是归结的一个问题上,语言环境问题,并且不断地练习。[/FONT]
4. [FONT=宋体]对于应试,网络上有很多应试技巧,实在不行找一个培训机构突击,但是这是治标不治本,重要的还是平时打好基础。[/FONT]
5. [FONT=宋体]用英语思维,这是环境的潜移默化,还是需要环境。但是这里我要提到的是解决一个误区,学英语不等于学翻译,翻译需要中文也好才行,而且要经过一定的训练!能用英语的思维,那说明你的英文水平已经在中级以上,就是多年不用,你也很难再把你的英语水平降低,只要考试前稍微突击以下,就可以枯木逢春![/FONT]
[FONT=宋体]以上只是一家之言,欢迎讨论![/FONT]

看了几句话不得不说几句,因为要睡觉了所以没看完,改天有空再详谈.

中国式英文,很多错误并用词不当.
第一句:Before I consider this article, I am used to think it in Chinese but another inspiration hit me when I was reading the IELTS learning articles.
THIS ARTICLE,指什么?指你写的还是看到的?老外不会懂,偶也不懂,如是你正在写的,你要说,Before I consider writing this article

I am used 是什么意思?如指过去习惯用I used to think, or I am used to thinking

it 指什么?指文章吗?think 是想,你用make,create,write,更让西方人明白,文章不是THINK出来的,而是写出来的.

BUT请拄意了,BUT是全盘否定你前面的意思,就是全盘否定Before I consider this article, I am used to think it in Chinese ,中国人最爱用BUT

ANOTHER是前面有了inspiration,在有其他的才用ANOTHER.
第一句话就不通,第二第三也不通.不知其意.

如你想说,
In the past, when I started to write an English article, I used to create it in Chinese first in my mind. However, another inspiration hit me when I was reading the IELTS learning articles.

以前,最好的翻译就是IN THE PAST,而不是BEFORE.
英文写作不是一字一字翻译.有很多书讲英文写作的.可以去借了看看.

It is no doubt that English study is a huge system engineering

It should have had fun to rewrite something but it is really time-consuming. Currently I have a lot of daily work to take care of. So I don't have time to correct your words or sentences one by one. I don't want to be rude to offend you. The score of 6.5 in IELTS(A) is not good enough. If you look at the program I list below, you will see the score 7.5 is the minimum requirement. I graduated from this program 4 years ago. In McGill, I was still required to take the course of Academic Writing in order to get the degree.

Before I consider this article, I am used to think it in Chinese but another inspiration hit me when I was reading the IELTS learning articles. Well, I am going to finish my experience in English. Hopefully, it can give you a flavor of IELTS development.

[In the past, when I prepared to write something in English, my way was to think it first in Chinese and then translate it into English. However, I realized that it didn’t help me at all in improving my English skills. I was encouraged to try to think and write directly in English after I read the IELTS' learning materials. I would like to take this opportunity to share a little bit of my personal experience of learning English. Hopefully, it could give you a little bit help for your IELTS' learning.]
It is no doubt that our English study is a big engineer. You cannot separate it into different parts in different times. So does your IELTS learning. However, most people here would like to make progress in short term. What can I say is keeping practicing. There are lots of ways of doing that in the websites. On the other hand, you must remember that this is compensation to your English because you are lack of accumulated exercises before.

[It is no doubt that English learning is a type of system engineering. The learning curve should be continuous. It is appropriate for IELTS' learning too. Some people expect to have a great move in a short time. However, it is impossible and nonrealistic. It takes time. It does take time. What I suggest here is to keep practice. There are lots of ways, for example, one way is to find some useful learning materials via the Internet. The other way is to find a native speaker to do some language exchange with him.The constant practice will definitely make a contribution to the improvement of your language skills.]

Some errors are still remaining in my English, even when I am writing this article. Hopefully, some people who can point them out please let me know. We can both polish our English and make good marks in IELTS, Tofel, GRE, GMAT, etc. Now, I am going to go back to trace my experience which I would like to share.

[I understand some errors and mistakes could be happening in my English writing, for example, they might be possibly appearing in this essay. It will be appreciate if someone can let me know where they are and how I correct them. We can learn each other. Through our efforts, we can finally get an excellent score on the tests of IELTS, TOEFL, GRE, GMAT, and etc.]

我除了工作外因为月底有两个工作面试其中一个是美国长青藤名校布什的母校所以自己也有很多准备要做.所以没有太多时间和你商榷.

只讲一例.
On the other hand (那你一方面On the one hand指的是什么,两个要BLANCE,从上下文看不出?), you must remember that this is compensation(名词,如要用你可讲get compensation for) to your English (英语不是你的,口语化,书面用English skills, English level是你的技能或水平) because(BECAUSE是因果关系,这里没有,有的人不练习英文也很好所以没有必然的因果关系不能套用中文的"因为",英文必须是真正的原因,如要用可用SINCE) you are lack of accumulated( accumulated不恰当,我知道你想说积累,但英文不能这样说,你可讲EXTENSIVE,大量的) exercises before (用in the past, at your early time).

finish my experience 就是彻底玩完了我知道你想说让我"说完...".

你可用TALK ABOUT,
 Well, I am going to finish my experience in English.

翻成中文是,"好吧,让我用英语来结束我的经验"老外不知你说啥,中国人知道,因为是中式英文.
Well, let me first talk about some of my experience in learning English.

STUDY是研究是一门学问,如LIBRARY STUDY,INFORMATION STUDY, EAST ASIAN STUDY.

楼上过奖,我很刺人的,特别是对天才. :)

After study in Beijing, I went to the UK for my master degree.
这句话就不能称着英文.AFTER是一个时间点,你一学完就去英国为的是你的硕士学位?不知所云.这两句话不能连在一起.为了学位去英国干吗?是到英国读学位对不对?.这三件事不能缩写到一起.


After study in Beijing,

这是标标准准的"中译英".AFTER后跟动词,小学生也知道是错.就算STUDY是名词,也不对.
好在是中国人,根据理解我想大概是:
After finishing the English training program in Beijing, in order to pursue higher education, I sent an application for master's degree to a university in the UK and fortunately I was accepted by the university.

这时你可用FINISH.
