to. I’ll help you if you promise to speak noting but English all the time.

9. Learning Vocabulary 学习词汇
A: I don’t understand why we have to memorize conversations. We need more
vocabulary, not pronunciation.

vocabulary? Every time we memorize a conversation, we’re memorizing a
whole series of contexts. Each context tells us one way a word can be
used, I know from my own language that I can’t always use words by simply
looking them up in a dictionary and then putting them into sentences. Some
words have many meanings. We have to know which meanings go where.
Context (文章或讲话中的)前后文(根据前后文的逻辑可以确定某一个具有多种解释的词或短语的含
Which meanings go where 哪一种解释讲得通

的上下文而这上下文可以供我们了解一个单词的一种用法我从自己的语言中意识到光靠查词典然后
把这些词汇拼成句子并不意味着会正确使用这些词有些意识有很多解释我们必须弄清楚在哪种情况
下适用哪一种解释

10.Spelling 拼音
A: You know, Ralph, since I started speaking English all the time my
pronunciation’s getting better and even the grammar’s beginning to make
some sense. But I don’t think I’ll ever be able to spell.
B: You’re not alone there. I have trouble with spelling too. When I was in
grade school, I learned which words were the most frequently misspelled,
but I never did learn how to spell them.
A: Since it’s so difficult, why is it so important to learn how to spell
B: Because if you spell satisfactorily, you’re considered educated. If you
don’t, you’re not.
Make sense – to become understandable
Grade school (美国的)小学
A 拉尔夫你知道自从我开始所有时间都讲英语以来我的发音有了进步而且语法也开始理
顺了不过我不认为我能把字拼出来
B 不是你一个人如此我在拼音方面也有困难当我上小学的时候我知道哪些词是经常拼错的
但我没有学会如何拼这些词
A 既然这么难为什么学会准确拼音又如此重要呢

乏教育的人
