Dear friends:

First of all, let me tell a story:

Once, I went to a town in Dongtai for a test. A middle school teacher seriously exchanged his views on the promotion of Putonghua with me. He said: First, the Putonghua test is to stop us at the posts of teachers and the promotion of professional titles; Second, the promotion of Putonghua is suspected of language discrimination. To paraphrase a lyric, in Mandarin, "It's not easy to say I love you". My heart sank violently. Even the middle school teachers who had received higher education had such a strong rejection reaction to speaking Mandarin. So, how arduous it is to make the vast number of civil servants, teachers and window industry employees born after 1954 pass the test in a short time!

Later, I read several reports one after another:

Report 1: The son of an ordinary peasant woman in Yangma Township, Sheyang County won the college entrance examination, and the villagers happily sent her a pair: "Tsinghua is the pride of your life, and Yangma is your hometown forever". As a mother, she understood the sincerity of the villagers, that is, she warned her children not to deny their father and mother for one year, two years and three years, that is, not to forget the roots and forget their hometown.

Before her son left home, she told him: Son, we are rural people. When we go to college, we should not look down on them, but we should not forget our roots. After school, this simple rural child has not forgotten his mother's exhortation. Even when he calls his mother, he will try to remind himself not to speak Mandarin, but to use dialect, because this can clearly tell his mother that he has not forgotten his roots! One day, however, when he heard his mother's stiff Mandarin with a strong local accent coming from the other end of the phone, he was shocked: how did a peasant woman who had never been out of Sheyang in her life talk about Mandarin? Mother seemed to feel his surprise, and said, "Son, the business of Chinese herbal medicines in Yangma is very good now, and foreign merchants have come to order from us.". If we speak dialects, people will not understand, so all the villagers are learning Mandarin now. From today on, when you talk to your mother, you should speak Mandarin, which is also a good opportunity for me to learn Mandarin. My son was filled with emotion when he was delighted: Today, the rural economy is developing, and farmers' language concepts and language features are also advancing with the times!

Report 2: Hiring a nanny is new. You must be able to speak Mandarin. Mr. Huang of Nanjing wants to find a nanny for his son who is under one year old. He advertised in the newspaper that a nanny must have a high school education and must also speak Mandarin. Mr. Huang told reporters that the nanny's words and deeds will have a great impact on the children, and high demands on the nanny are responsible for the children.

Report 3: You can speak Mandarin and get a discount on shopping. The Putonghua Channel of Radio Television Hong Kong decided to hold the first Putonghua Day on September 13th, 21, sponsored by the HSBC Putonghua Fund, to encourage Hong Kong people to speak Putonghua. RTHK also cooperated with the Hong Kong Tourism Services Association and the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce to invite about 3, members of their businesses to launch the "Putonghua Day Shopping Discount" activity. On September 13th, customers can get a 15% discount when they shop in Putonghua at a store with a "Putonghua Day" poster.

Oh, it turns out that Mandarin has entered all levels of social life, and speaking Mandarin has gradually become the conscious behavior of many people.

"Facing modernization, promoting Mandarin", "Speaking Mandarin well is convenient for you, me and others". With such a good social environment, I think, I want to say to you sincerely: in fact, it is easy to say that I love you in Mandarin.

2. How to speak Mandarin well

China has a vast territory and a large population, and there are great differences in dialects between regions. Even in the same dialect area, there are

many puzzling dialects. Therefore, people who speak dialects are bound to encounter obstacles in communication, which will directly affect their study, work and life. A few people have doubts about whether to learn or not to learn Mandarin. They more or less think that in real life,

as long as they don't work in languages such as hosts, broadcasters and tour guides, not speaking Mandarin will not affect their normal life. But modern life is changing with each passing day, the changes of the times are accelerating, and interpersonal communication is becoming more and more frequent. At present

it seems that the normal lifestyle may fall behind in an instant. Instead of being abandoned by society, it is better to take precautions and stay ahead of the times

. In addition, learning Mandarin can also change a person's quality. ?

Therefore, learning Mandarin has become one of the important tasks of our four-year secondary school study. ?

So how can we learn Mandarin well? I don't think it is difficult to learn Mandarin. If you do the following requirements, you will be able to speak Mandarin fluently. ?

1. Overcome psychological barriers?

Putonghua is not difficult to learn, but it is difficult to adjust and improve the psychological state. Many students are afraid of making a fool of themselves because of their awkward pronunciation or the difficulty of long-term training when learning Mandarin. These psychological obstacles often slow down their learning progress. In view of this situation, we need to adjust our psychological state in time, put down our psychological burden and speak boldly. Any study

has a process from clumsiness to proficiency, and learning Mandarin is no exception. To achieve proficiency as soon as possible, only by working hard to overcome difficulties and overcome fear can we become winners in learning. On the other hand, if you pay too much attention to face in your study, don't

dare to face your pronunciation defects frankly, let alone overcome and improve them with tenacious will and hard work, and blindly retreat

to avoid shrinking, the result will not only make you spend time and energy, but also have little effect, and it will easily cause psychological shadow, adding

to the burden of future study and life. ?

In short, it is an important prerequisite to learn Mandarin well to adjust mental state and overcome psychological obstacles. ?

2. Create a good language environment?

any language cannot be separated from the specific language environment. It directly affects and restricts the learning and application of language. In the process of learning Putonghua

, we must overcome the negative influence of local dialect environment and create a favorable Putonghua

environment for ourselves as much as possible. ?

the key to this is to strengthen the subjective understanding. If we have the urgent requirement to learn Putonghua well, it is natural for us to have a special interest in Putonghua and a high degree of consciousness, and consciously look for various opportunities to get in touch with Putonghua. The strong desire to learn ordinary

words can also urge us to consciously use Putonghua for reading and thinking, which will effectively promote the oral expression of Putonghua. ?

3. Pay attention to your learning methods?

The purpose of learning Mandarin is to be able to listen and speak standard Mandarin. ?

This requires us to change the habit of listening and speaking dialects for many years and establish a brand-new listening and speaking ability, which will not happen overnight. On the one hand, we should make great efforts, work hard and study honestly; On the other hand, we should also adopt proper learning methods. ?

For example, there is a great difference between the tone value of our Henan dialect and that of Putonghua. In Putonghua, the tone value of words with a tone of 55

is 24 in Henan dialect; In this case, we can find out the rules and conduct targeted pronunciation training, and find out the

corresponding rules of Putonghua and dialects to learn and remember skillfully, so that our study can get twice the result with half the effort. ?

In a word, learning Putonghua is a long and arduous activity, and we can only achieve good results if we devote ourselves wholeheartedly to it and achieve "hearing", "speaking" and "heart".
