2014年商务英语BEC中级阅读辅导解析的延伸阅读——怎样快速学习好商务英语

 

　　简易英语读物，一、两千单词，就能讲述很复杂的故事。当我们用英语能讲述这样复杂的故事时，日常生活中的英语，还会有困难吗？

　　第一步：先看英汉对照吧，然后脱离中文，看改写本的英文简易读物。

　　第二步：看简易英文的原著。这步很关键，这步跨过去了，你学英语就基本成功了，否则，很容易退化的。

　　第三步：看英文原著。

　  胆要大，不要追求精确

　　说错了不要紧。发音不准也不要紧。

　　遣词造句，中国人说中国话，也没那么精确。英语也一样。

　　语感很重要，这需要在第一点说的“量”上去了，语感就培养起来了。

　　在实践中应用英语多看英文网站，上英文的论坛，查英文的资料。看多了，用多了，英语就跟中文似的，成了你的工作、学习和赚钱的工具了。

最后一点，就是要坚持。
