(News from this website) At 6pm on March 30, the New Oriental Culture Forum co-sponsored by New Oriental Art School and Chen Pu (Oasis Culture and Education) "Sunbird" Arizona Chinese Network launched Dr. Chen Pu's lecture on "How New Immigrants Learn English". Without much publicity, more than twenty people came to the scene.

Lecture "How New Immigrants Learn English"

Linguist teacher Chen Pu used "North American Brother Cui" to humorously introduce the various embarrassments of new immigrants using English after arriving in the United States. The whole audience resonated! Everyone first scolded learning English with the same hatred, "English is messy and often has no rules." "English is also mixed with vocabulary from various languages. It would be really difficult to call pork pig "Pork!" Teacher Chen changed the subject. It is indeed difficult to learn English, but who told us to stay in the United States? We still have to learn!

Lecturer Chen Pu How to learn and how to use it? Chen Pu put forward a completely different point of view. If you want to learn English well, you must first master the first language. The reason why I bring this up is that we are all adults and the best stage of learning a language has passed. The advantage of learning a language at this age is that adults have strong logical and analytical skills, but poor memory. It is impossible for adults to forget their first language! After listening to the lecture, I roughly summarized three points: First, the shortcut for adults to learn English is to use the first language well to help improve the second language. Starting from the basic language, before speaking or writing in English, first use Chinese to clarify your ideas. For example, today I have to report to the leader. First think about how many things you did today? What is the first thing and what is the second thing? What issues are mainly dealt with in the first one, and what else should we pay attention to? The second thing mainly deals with what else should be paid attention to. It's very simple when I write it down: Dear XX: I did two things to report to you today. 1.XXXXXXX A B C 2.XXXXXXX A B That's it, thank you very much. Name. First sort out the Chinese logic, and then write in English. Second, use your strengths and avoid your weaknesses. Use tools to help improve your English. When writing in English, "the end determines the means". If the above information is an email for daily communication at work. ABC three points can be omitted even in complete sentences. For example: I inspected an old car. A. Appearance is good. B. Engine is good. C. There is a problem with the circuit. Try to use nouns or gerunds, be concise and concise, and express clearly. Don't think that you have English level 6 or level 8, have a PhD degree, and are good at English. You should write more. The more you write, the more chances you will make mistakes and create confusion. Give full play to our strengths and use numbers and letters to present the logical relationship of the article. Avoid shortcomings and write simple sentences, short sentences, or even words to express your meaning clearly. If it is a complete sentence, checking the singular, plural and tense parts after writing can reduce many errors. Use Google Translator, Word spelling correction, or some English writing reference books. These are very good tools. To write invitation letters and thank-you letters, go to the Internet to find templates and modify them appropriately according to your own situation. Adults must learn to use tools to help us solve problems. Third, use English according to specific objects and occasions. This may be a higher requirement for learning English. Just like how we wear clothes, we must first have clothes before we consider how to match them. Often say: I got your letter. How to express the same idea more formally? You can say: I received your letter. These are simple words, but if you use them carefully, they will give the other party a different feeling. When writing official documents, it is important to use ":" or "" after the title: if it is someone you have never met, you should write ":", which is very formal; if you have met someone and have some friendship, you should write "", "". This can further shorten the distance and express cordiality. The two-hour lecture felt like it went by in a flash. Both housewives and workers in large companies said they had benefited a lot and strongly requested that courses be set up for practice. After consultation with Teacher Chen Pu, it was decided to offer 16 hours of training at New Oriental starting next week. The time is from 7pm to 8:50pm every Wednesday, with two classes each time, for a total of 8 weeks. The number of places in the class is very limited.
