2015英语六级考试口语练习(6)：安得烈卡耐基

　　Andrew Carnegie

　　Andrew Carnegie, known as the King of Steel, built the steel industry in the United States, and ,in the process, became one of the wealthiest men in America. His success resulted in part from his ability to sell the product and in part from his policy of expanding during periods of economic decline, when most of his competitors were reducing their investments.

　　Carnegie believed that individuals should progress through hard work, but he also felt strongly that the wealthy should use their fortunes for the benefit of society. He opposed charity, preferring instead to provide educational opportunities that would allow others to help themselves. "He who dies rich, dies disgraced," he often said.

　　Among his more noteworthy contributions to society are those that bear his name, including the Carnegie Institute of Pittsburgh, which has a library, a museum of fine arts, and a museum of national history. He also founded a school of technology that is now part of Carnegie-Mellon University. Other philanthrophic gifts are the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace to promote understanding between nations, the Carnegie Institute of Washington to fund scientific research, and Carnegie Hall to provide a center for the arts.

　　Few Americans have been left untouched by Andrew Carnegie's generosity. His contributions of more than five million dollars established 2,500 libraries in small communities throughout the country and formed the nucleus of the public library system that we all enjoy today.

　　我们这次要讲的方法与英语文章有关,也许你会疑惑的,大家常说的锻炼英语六级口语的方法,大部分都是让大家去多说、多听,和读文章有什么关系?这你就不知道了。我们想要练口语,其实也就是想练习口头表述的能力,反述文章就是十分有效的方法。

　　那么什么样的文章是你应该练习英语六级口语反述的第一篇文章呢,就是那种一看就懂,但看完了用英语却怎么也说不出来的最简单的文章,就从这篇文章开始吧!

　　第一步:大量背诵原汁原味的单句、对话、生活习语。

　　第二步:把每天背诵过的素材反复消化,借助想像力,身临其境把它们表演出来。

　　第三步:写日记。这个习惯看上去练习的是写作,其实它更是练习口语的妙法。用英文进行思维是高级的口语训练方法。

　　第四步:大量阅读报刊、杂志及各种故事、杂文,之后将它们复述出来。(超级提示:是"复述"而非"背诵"。)同一篇文章的复述工作应该反复滚动。

　　在这个有关反述的英语六级口语训练方法中,我们反复强调的就是要复述而不是背诵。这个就有点像你像别人讲述你看过的电视剧的情节,你是不可能将剧中所有的对话重复的,你要做的是一个在加工,这样才能真正的锻炼你的口头能力。
