We have been learning English since primary school, and we have been learning it for so many years now. But can we really speak English with others? Can I talk to foreigners directly? No, we can't, because we can't speak at all I believe that a child's spoken English is better than that of many college students.
It is as difficult for us to speak English as it is for foreigners to speak Chinese. Things like language are very complicated. We need to spend a lot of time and energy to study. How do you think those simultaneous interpreters came from? You must work hard to get something.
In the past, there was a schoolmaster in our class, and his English was always excellent.
Since high school, no matter how big or small the competition is, no matter what the exam is, she can basically get full marks on English papers. When she is free at ordinary times, she knows English words by heart, feeling that this life is born for English.
She is really good. She can basically memorize many words in the Oxford dictionary. She gets up at 5: 30 every day to recite words, and basically knows all the grammar questions. But if you let her talk to someone else, she can't. She can't speak English at all. All her knowledge is exam-oriented. She can only cope with the exam and can't communicate at all.
Foreigners are often seen at ordinary times, but few people dare to go up and communicate with them. We always joke. Once I went to Beijing to play, I met some foreigners on the way. I especially want to take a photo with them, but I can't speak English. I can't even say the most basic words about taking pictures with them.
I don't have the courage to say this sentence is actually quite simple, because we don't believe in ourselves and think we can't. Later, a classmate with me, whose English was not very good, went straight forward and invited several foreigners to take photos with them through simple words and sign language.
I didn't know that the environment is really important to human language until I went to college. There are Russian languages in our school, and many of them have never been exposed to Russian. They didn't start studying until they went to college, and then, but what others taught is not dead. Their study here is no longer to cope with exams. There are many international students in the school. They can study and communicate together.
Our biggest obstacle is that we dare not speak English and practice oral English. We always think that others will laugh at us. It doesn't matter if you pass CET-4 or CET-6. What matters is that you can speak English, which is much better than your certificate.
