英语情景对话初级听力
『壹』 怎样快速提高英语口语情景对话能力
1.教材问题
很多人都问,英语教材那么多我到底用什么啊!
新教材每年都在出,老的教材也都在改版,我到底用什么啊~~
那么我以我的学习经历告诉你,经典的就是好用的.语言是一个长期积累的文化沉淀,在十几年内不可能有很大很大的改动,除了潮语in语的增加与丰富(别管这些,很多外国爸爸妈妈都不懂孩子在说什么 咱还是先学清楚基本的),语言的体系是不会变的.
所以我说 老的经典胜过大造噱头的新书.
<疯狂英语>就是典型的垃圾,那个就是洗脑,而且对英语没有什么帮助
首先我给你推荐几个比较好的教材吧~
1.《Look listen learn》(看听学)
这个是英语权威教材《新概念英语》的编者L.G.Alexanda编写的另外一套轻松易懂却又非常实用的教材,一共有四册,其中第四册的难度大约是新概念的第三册和第二册的难度。可不要小看这本书哦,这套书采用了大量的对话,可以完美的训练你的口语、语感、听力等等而且这本书中对语法的诠释一点都不含糊!非常好!这是国内许多外国语学校采用的入门级教材。
2.《new concept English》
如果你没有听说过新概念就太……
新概念作为英语教材的龙头老大,绝对是有他风靡数十年的魅力所在的。而且新概念的配套自学辅导丛书、测试题等等教辅都有很完善的配套。绝对可以满足你的需要的哦
3.《Look Ahead》(展望未来)
这本书是走遍美国的英国妈妈版了。可以说走遍美国就是由于受到这套教材的启发才编写出来的。展望未来是到底的英式发音,并且也是及其贴近英国民俗的一套教材。强化四会技能,也配有教师用书、学生练习册等等。是许多外国语学校的高级教材
4.《走遍美国》
这个也很经典,也是采用了大量的视频图片等等提供了一个全外国的氛围。
5.词汇书里面我比较喜欢的是剑桥《剑桥英语在用初/中/高级词汇》
还有《Tower press的英语词汇系列丛书》 语法书里面《剑桥英语在用初/中/高级语法》
总之英语在用系列都不错
剑桥出版社的哦~~
. 听力与口语方面
我就混在一起说了因为这两个是相辅相成的.
我们经常说听说听说,听力和口语是分不开的.只有你口语发音准确,知道单词的正确发音,你的耳朵才能在第一时间里面正确接受到对方的信息,准确捕获这个词...所以对于很多对于英语听力非常苦恼的朋友来说,其实英语听力的瓶颈不是在于听力.而是在于-----口语!!!而且尤其是你的单词发音是否标准....
举个很简单的例子.horizen 这个词的发音音标应该是/he'raizen/但是很多人都发成/'horizen/ 那么你脑中有个错误的期待,怎么可能捕捉到那个正确的单词呢?!在当你苦苦的等待你脑海中期待的那个单词的时候,正确的单词早就飞过去了.....
所以,我推荐你买本专业训练听力的书,分三步来做.书随便什么都可以啦~你要是想要我给你推荐的话.英语初级/中级/高级听力不错
第一步.
按照书上的要求来听.只要把题目作出来即可.部要求你全部听懂,只要求你听关键词.
第二步
题目答案全部对完以后,把书仍在一边.重听这个dialogue,或者独白也好....
你自己反复听(但是不可以按暂停哦~)听懂每个句子
第三步!!!!
做听写.最好中途不要按暂停.把你多听几遍(最好三遍以内)能把整个文章写出来,再与听力原文做对比~~~
然后再回过去看你的题目,看看你的题目都会不会做了...
如此只要你能够坚持每天听三篇 坚持听两周,绝对有突飞猛进的进步....
.阅读和作文
多背新概念,把每个经典句子牢牢记住,写作文用上的时候绝对是亮点,我高中三年英文作文没有扣分超过两分的。
还有就是多用同义词替换。比如描写一个东西很大 你可以用big large gigantic titanic gargantuen tremendous huge giant之类的,不要重复使用一个词,同义词越多你的作文亮点就越多,比如important可以用significant eccential之类的替代。
同义词要靠你平时去积累了。
还有就是活用一些词的生僻含义,比如immediate,把它活用成为紧跟 会使你的英语增色不少。例如she is immediatly after me.
4. 实战
如果你面临考试
针对你的临考状态,我建议你买本考试真题回来。中国人有中国人应付考试的办法。
我建议你把历年X考的英语题目按顺序做一个纵向的比较,规律很明显,比如说我们湖北省的中考英语选择题第一题是冠词第二题是动词的过去式等等,有套路的。把你们的历年的X考题目搜集起来,纵向比较以后绝对可以找到你以后主攻的方向。
做完了纵向比较就是横向比较了。这个需要你搜集你的错题。错题本是必不可少的东西,能让你明白你的弱势强势各在何处。
如果你是准备国外考试的话.一样的道理.

再讲讲背单词的方法
你看看吧背单词我们分成以下几个方法。
1.音标拼读法
2.联想记忆法
3.词根词缀法
首先我来讲一讲什么叫做音标拼读法。
我不知道你现在对音标有多少了解了 但是没关系 我们先讲一讲基本的一些音标拼读标准
首先我来给你建立一个分类系统。
英语有26个字母。分成三类字母
1.元音字母 A/ei/ E/i:/ I/ai/ O/eu/ U/ju:/ 你先念一念这几个音 这几个音被称作为基本名称音 这个概念非常重要 你要记好了 我这里音标打不全你姑且凑合一下。
2.半元音字母 y w
所谓半元音字母就是说 既可以作为辅音字母又可以作为元音字母
比如我举个例子
y 作为元音字母 why 这个单词里面y就是原因 发ai的音。
3.辅音字母 剩下的所有的字母都被称作为单纯辅音字母。
好 下面我们开始讲如何利用音标拼读法背单词
英语和我们汉语一样 有组成习惯。
记好了 这里很关键
英语单词的第一个组成模式为
XXXXX + 一个元音字母 + 一个辅音字母(不可以为r)+ 一个e
这是单词的第一个组成模式 也是最简单最基本的组成模式。
这个元音字母的发音99.9%是他的名称音 也就是A E I O U就按照他们的字母的读音来读(需要注意的是 u这个时候的名称音有时换为/u:/而不是/ju:/)
举几个例子 很简单的
A的名称音下的单词有
name
came
flame
date
hate
plate
fake……
I 下面的名称音有
Bike
hive
polite
life
surprise
dive……
u下面的名称音有
plute /u:/
flute /u:/
mute /ju:/
de /ju:/……
o下面的名称音有
pope
pose
hope……
怎么样 在这样的模式下面 是不是所有的原因字母都是自己的名称音发音?
你看到陌生的单词 只要符合这样的模式 是不是能立刻读出来? 听到这样的读音 是不是能立刻条件反射出单词的拼写方法?还要不要死记硬背??
好 以上讲的是第一种单词的组成模式
但是这种组成模式其实是有限的。
下面我们进入更一般的结构
单词 尤其是多音节单词 一般分为重读音节和弱读音节
举个例子 surprise这个词语 prise是重读 而sur是弱读
好 下面的关键部分又出现了。一定要记好
多音节单词中 所有的弱读音节一般被弱化为/e/(应该是倒置的小写e) 或者/i/
比如说刚才的surprise 比如说aphelion里面的a 比如说behind的be之类的
而重读音节的发音规律则是我们现在要讨论的
重读音节的发音规律很简单。。。。就是字母拼读
首先讲讲纯元音字母的拼读
ee ea 一般发/i:/的音 比如 lee eat beach see peach heat defeat 等等
o这个字母 在 m n l r 之后,ther nion前发/(v倒写)的音
比如mom another love brother onion
下面是元音字母和r的拼读
常见的有are ore oure ire ure air eir 等等
这些我就不举例了(因为那个音标打出来实在是太纠结)
只要是单词中有这些部分的 他们的发音肯定是相同的
下面是元音字母和辅音字母的拼读
igh 发i的名称音 比如high fight flight tight
auhg ough发 /o/的音 比如 taught daughter flaught thought (through是特例)
ol al il el 都发他们对应的名称音的短音节
ture (靠 这个音标死都打不出来 我放弃了你回去查查字典就知道)
比如 picture constructure nature (mature是特例)
……
再讲讲辅音字母的拼读规律
很多啦
比如 c在e i 前发/s/的音 其余全部发/k/的音 比如cell circle credit
两个清辅音在一起后面的音浊化成对应得浊辅音 比如stop start star stir sprit spring等等
ch tch 发/气/那个音
等等等等 太多了 这个我都没有办法给你举完例子 主要靠你平时自己的积累归纳和总结
说完这一部分音标拼读法 主要给你的建议就是 背单词千万不要把一个一个字母念出来背 要死人的 一定是边拼边读边背 这样会读就会写 听到就可以猜个八九不离十
第二部分是我们所说的联想记忆法 这一部分我觉得要有趣许多
你可以发挥你的天马行空的想象力来背单词
比如背morose 就是=》 么 rose==》 没有玫瑰==》人家都有我没有玫瑰 所以我好郁闷啊==》morose就是郁闷
catastrophy ==》咔嗒四处飞 ==》大灾难
pest==》拍死他==》害虫
还有的时候把长的一样的单词集中起来背
比如
aunt
flaunt
gaunt
haunt
aunt是姑姑对吧 联想 姑姑是谁啊 姑姑是小龙女
flaut==》fl+aunt fl是不是让你想到fly这个词语呢 那就是姑姑在天上飞 姑姑在天上飞干什么呢 姑姑在炫耀她的轻功==》所以flaun就是炫耀的意思
gaunt==》g是什么 g是过儿 让姑姑失去了过儿是不是很痛苦 是不是很郁闷。。所以gaunt是郁闷的意思
haunt==》h想到什么 我想到了home 就是姑姑住的房子 姑姑住在哪里?姑姑住在活死人墓!!!!所以haunt是闹鬼的意思
等等 这样的联想背单词方法很多 但是切记不可以走火入魔
最后一个背单词的方法称为词根词缀法
这就像我们写中文汉字的偏旁部首
举个例子 cent 是一个词根 表示 一百
比如cent 是美分的意思 是美元的一百分之一
percent是百分之的意思
century是一百年 一世纪的意思
pad这个词根是脚的意思 pad就是脚踏板啊什么的
同样pede这个变形体也是脚的意思
那么cent + pad稍微变形==》centipede 是什么意思?
一百只脚。。。。对了!就是蜈蚣的意思!!!!
英文中的词根词缀非常多 也需要你慢慢的积累慢慢的去寻找
最后给你推荐几本背单词必备良书 我当年背单词就是这么背的
词汇书里面我比较喜欢的是剑桥《剑桥英语在用初/中/高级词汇》
还有《Tower press的英语词汇系列丛书》
总之英语在用系列都不错
剑桥出版社的哦~~
『贰』 英语初级听力(listen to this) ,问题,求高人解救~~
其实LISTEN TO THIS的音主要还是偏向英音的 如果不是很熟悉英式英语 里面有些词 可能会觉得莫名其专妙地多了几个属音标 不知道你是不是这种情况 比如OFTEN这个词 一般美式发音并不会把t的音发出来 但是英式英语就会
关于你说的allowance的发音 我觉得是口型的问题 如果在发l的音的时候 嘴向外咧的多一些就会出现这种情况 外国人说话一般嘴型变化的幅度是比较大的 所以面对同样的音标中英两国人的发音差距还是比较大的
初级听力是为了更好的培养你对准确英文的敏感 所以这本书我建议不要放弃
关于连读问题 其实没有省读的说法 你所说的情况我觉得更接近吞音现象 也就是某个音不发出声音 但是在读的过程中要留出发这个音的空挡和时间 所以有时候听力就会有点迷茫了 因为自己在平时练习的时候可能并没有注意这种读法 所以不太熟悉
其实现在市面上有很多的音标语音教程 里面都有讲到这类问题
现在能想到的就这么多 不知道对你有没有帮助 (*^__^*) 嘻嘻……

『柒』 英语听力情景对话的经典题目
买一本情景对话的书不就有了
『捌』 适合初学者念的英语情景对话书,带DVD
剑桥国际英语教程(附光盘词汇手册学生用书3)
剑桥是英语书大多没什么语法,重视情景对话,这本也不例外,你如果要买初学者又要权威的非剑桥莫属,而且这本书也是为非英语专业读者写的
《剑桥国际英语教程》是专为非英语国家的学习者编写的大型英语教程。教程的内容包括听、说、读、写四种技能,同时进行语音训练和词汇扩展。尤其强调听与技能的培养。本书的首要目标是培养英语交际能力,即:根据交际情景,交际目的和交流对象灵活运用英语的能力。本书主要使用美国英语,但是其内容并不局限于某一国家、地区或文化,而是反映了英语作为国际交流用语的丰富性和多元性。
《剑桥国际英语教程》由两个系列丛书组成,共分六级。New Interchange系列包括4个级别,Passages系列包括两个级别,为New Interchange的后续高级教程。各级的难易度和重点分布如下:
入门级:针对没有英语基础的“真正”初学者,讲解基础语法结构、词汇和语言功能。学完本级后,可掌握1000个活用型词汇。
1级:针对有初级英语水平的学习者,旨在进一步培养语法、词汇和语用技能、使学习者达到初级偏高水平。
2级:针对有初级偏高英语水平的学习者,旨在进一步培养语法、词汇和语用技能,使学习者达到中级水平。
3级:针对有中级英语水平的学习者,培养学习者用比较流利、精确的英语进行交际的能力。
4/5级:针对中高级水平的英语学习者,更好地培养学生英语的流利性和准确性。
本教材通过大量富于启发性、挑战性的练习活动,使学生能够进一步巩固和发展他们用英语交际的能力。除应用型技能练习外,教材还设计了各种更高级的语篇理解能力练习。听力练习包括:听叙述、听广告、听讨论、听采访。阅读活动包括:跨文化交际主题,生活方式主题,不同的价值观主题等取材真实的阅读篇章。
主要特色
■ 国际化内容
话题富有时代感,与教师和学生的生活都密切相关。既适用于学生背景相近的班级,也适用于学生背景差距较大的班级。
■ 综合性大纲
本教材的宗旨是多种技能综合培养,其教学大纲将话题、交际功能和语法紧密结合。语法作为学习第二语言或外语的基础,总是在一定的交际环境中进行讲解,配以以精确性为基础的由教师指导的控制型练习活动,和以流利性为基础的交流性练习活动。教材通过这种方式,在语法形式和交际功能之间建立一种联系。其教学遵循循序渐进的原则,逐级提高。
■ 实用有趣的学习活动
活泼有趣的各种活动为每个学生都提供了大量的练习机会,使每个学生都有充分的机会来运用自己所学的语言。教材中使用的大量的“信息差异”练习,角色扮演练习,以及两人对话、小组活动和班级活动。任务型练习和信息共享练习为学生提供了最大限度的交流实践机会。这种学习活动形式的不断变化不仅使课堂的节奏得到调整,也使每个学生都有更多的与同学交流的机会,同时使教材既适用于较大的课堂,也适用于较小的课堂。
■ 注重应用型技能和认知型技能的培养
应用和理解是语言学习的基础。本教材中,学生的应用型技能通过会话和写作练习来训练,认知型技能则通过听力和阅读练习来训练。通过学习,学生可以学会理解比他们的应用型技能稍高一级的语言,从而可以为走出教室、走入社会做好准备。
■ 教师和学生的任务
教师的任务是讲解新的学习要点。在做两人对话、小组活动和角色扮演的时候,教师的作用是辅助性的,主要帮助学生为活动做准备,然后运用所掌握的语言资源完成活动。在这些活动中,教师只给学生少量的非正式指导,如稍做评价等。教师的主要任务应该是尽量鼓励学生来参与活动。
学生的任务是主动地、创造性地参与学习过程,不仅要主动运用课堂上学到的语言知识,还要灵活运用在生活其他方面的知识和语言资源。每个学生都应该是一个富有聪明才智、有独立思想和见解的个体。他们不仅通过各种课堂活动,如两人对话、小组活动和班级活动与别人交流学习语言,也通过灵活运用自己所掌握的知识和交际技能学习语言。
■ 易教易学的内容安排
本教材易于教学,教学重点清晰明确,单元内容组织得当,循序渐进,进度适中,可根据需要调控。此外,还有各种激发创造力的趣味性学习活动。
应广大英语学习者的要求,《剑桥国际英语教程》在保留原有品种的情况下,全面推出“学生用书附CD”和“教师用书附CD”的新品种(CD内容等同于原来的听力磁带)。新书修订了原书中的个别错误,采取了“书配CD”的全新包装,同时随书附赠精美实用的词汇手册!
『玖』 简单的英语情景对话

(6).Asking People to Repeat 请人复述
As long as you ask politely, most people do not mind repeating something you didn't hear or understand.
1.A: I'm sorry, but I didn't catch what you said.
B: I said, "Do you want me to help you?"
A: If you're sure you're not in a hurry, I can use a lttle help.

A: If it's not too much trouble, I would like some help.
B: It's no trouble at all. I'll carry this suitcase for you.
(7).Asking Favors 求助
When you ask for things, it is important to be polite. The intonation that you use in making your request is as important as what you actually say. When you think someone will refuse your request, you can ask the question in such a way that the refusal does not cause embarrassment.
1. A: Is there any chance of my borrowing your type-writer?
B: For how long?
A: Until the end of the week.
B: Yes, I guess that would be all right.
2. A: Would you mind if I borrowed your car?
B: Well, when exactly?
A: Until Monday or Tuesday of next week.
B: I'm sorry, but it's just not possible.
3. A: Do you think you could lend me some of your records?
B: Until when?
A: Oh, just over the holidays.
B: I'm not sure. I'll have to think about it.
(8).Giving Compliments 赞美
Friends often compliment one another on clothes, especially if the clothes are new.
1.A: What a beautiful sweater!
B: Do you think it looks good on me?
A: Yes, and it goes beautifully with your pants.
B: You won't believe it, but it was really cheap.
A: I wish I could find one just like it.
2.A: I like your new coat.
B: Do you think it fits OK?
A: Yes. It looks terrific!
B: I bought it at half price.
A: You were lucky to find it.
3.A: That's a very nice jacket.
B: Does it really look OK?
A: Yes, and I like the color too. It matches your hat.
B: And I got it on sale.
A: That's incredible!
(9).Apologizing 道歉
Sometimes it is necessary to tell someone bad news gently.
1.A: I'm afraid I spilled coffee on the tablecloth.
B: Oh, don't worry about it.
A: I want to apologize. Is there anything I can do?
B: Just forget about it. I never did like it anyway.
2.A: I'm really sorry, but I seem to have misplaced your scarf.
B: Oh, that's all right.
A: I'm very sorry. Can I get you another one?
B: No. Forget about it. It's not important.
3.A: I'm sorry, but I can't find the book you lent me.
B: That's OK.
A: I really feel bad about it. Let me buy you a new one.
B: No. Don't be silly. I wouldn't dream of letting you do that.
(10).Complaining 抱怨
It's a good idea to be as polite as possible even when complaining about something.
1.A: I wish you wouldn't play the TV so loud.
B: Sorry. Where you trying to sleep?
A: Yes, And while I think of it, please ask when you want to borrow my records.
B: I'm sorry. You're right. I should have asked.
2.A: Do you think you could keep the noise down?
B: I'm sorry. Am I keeping you awake?
A: Yes. And another thing, would you mind not making long distance calls.
B: I'm sorry. I thought you wouldn't mind.
3.A: That radio's pretty loud. Could you turn it down, please?
B: Sorry. Was I disturbing you?
A: Yes. And something else, please don't borrow my clothes without asking.
B: Sorry. I guess I wasn't thinking. I won't do it again.
(11).The weather 天气
A very common way to start a conversation is to talk about the weather. When you're traveling, remember that there is considerable variation in climate in the United States.
1.A: Beautiful day, isn't it?
B: Yes, it's not like what the radio said at all.
A: I wish it would stay this way for the weekend.
B: As long as it doesn't snow!
2.A: It seems to be clearing up.
B: It's such a nice change.
A: I really don't think this weather will last.
B: Let's just hope it doesn't get cold again.
3.A: It looks it's going to be sunny.
B: Yes, it's much better than yesterday.
A: They say we're going to get some rain later.
B: Oh, let's just hope it stays warm.
(12).Asking for Change 换零钱
It is sometimes difficult toget change without buying something, so it's a good idea to carry change with you at all times. If you need change, you can buy something inexpensive like candy or a newspaper and ask for the coins you need.
