This article is a note about Xiaolai Li's book 《everyone can use English》.
There is no doubt that the best way to learn English is to use it.
I am practicing this theory these months.
For example, I replace the browser from baidu to google, and its default language is English.
So when I encountered a problem, I have to read English webside instead of Chinese webside.
The benefit of doing this is that I can read English documentation about program easier than before.
In the future, I think I can do the following things:
- Trying to express my thoughts in English.
- Write article in English and modify my own article.
- collect unintuitive expressions. Sometimes we can't translation Chinese directly in English,so we should collect these sentence, through accumulation to trun these into your own knowledge, eg:
- 如果我没记错的话……(If my memory serves, …)
- 我从未想过…… (It never occurred to me that…)
- 你竟然跟我这么说话!(Are we really having this conversation?)
- 就知道你有这本事!(Always knew you had it in you!)
- (这)听着耳熟吧?(Does it ring a bell to you?)
- 我想不起来那名字了……(That name escapes me….)
