5 . Do you want to improve your spoken English?     1    

Repeat the language!

Repeat words and sentences over and over again until you can say them really fluently (流利地). For example, say “I went to the shops, I went to the shops” repeatedly.     2     Then later when you’re speaking, it’ll come out naturally.

    3    

First, write out in note form (笔记形式)the story you want to tell, and then use those notes to practise telling the story. Just choose any story you like, and practise telling it.

Memorize language!

    4     You can do this by writing them out, or by speaking them out loud so that you’ll be speaking normally (正常地). And the more you do this, the more they’ll stick in your mind.

Practise forming questions!

Look at a sentence and see if you can change that into a question.     5     So, for example, when seeing the sentence, “She’s seen the film,” you need to change it into the question, “Has she seen the film?” And the more you do this, the more fluent and quicker you’ll get at making questions.

A．Practise telling stories!

B．Making questions is quite difficult if you haven’t been practising it.

C．Try to remember as many phrases and expressions as you can.
