◆語(yǔ)篇導(dǎo)讀

常規(guī)的語(yǔ)言學(xué)習(xí)除了離不開(kāi)語(yǔ)境以外，教科書(shū)也是很重要的核心學(xué)習(xí)材料。這篇文章，作者講述的是自己不依賴(lài)教科書(shū)而進(jìn)行的語(yǔ)言學(xué)習(xí)。作者分享了哪些與眾不同的學(xué)習(xí)方式呢？一起來(lái)尋找答案吧！

We all know that practical exercises using textbooks and classroom materials are valuable when it comes to language learning.However,I realized early in my language learning journey that the only way tokeep upmy motivation（動(dòng)機(jī)）for language learning was tomake sureit was accessible（無(wú)障礙的）and fun.

Change the language of all your electronics （電子產(chǎn)品）to your target language （目標(biāo)語(yǔ)言）.By simply changing the language of your mobile phone you can see many different words and phrases in your target language,many of which will be easily added to your vocabulary.So this should be a simple way to learn more without having to try too hard.

Listen to music.I mean actively listening.If you want to be more productive（富有成效的）,you can find lyrics online and write them down in order to learn them offby heart.Even if you need to pause the songs andsearch for wordsand phrases you don't understand,this will only help you in your learning.Listening to music will not only help with vocabulary but also with grammar as you will begin to notice forms,especially as many songs tend to be repeated.

Read short stories designed for your language level.Short stories are good because you can read themin one sittingand feelas thoughyou have finished doing something.For you who are ready to move on to a higher level,you could even try to

find books you have already read in your mother tongue,since you already know the storyline（故事情節(jié)）you don't forget.You could also get the audio book,from this way you can have more than language input（輸入）and can improve your listening skillsat the same time.

◆典句賞析

1.We all know that practical exercises using textbooks and classroom materials are valuable when it comes to language learning.當(dāng)提到語(yǔ)言學(xué)習(xí)，我們都知道使用課本和課堂材料的實(shí)踐練習(xí)是有價(jià)值的。

that后面連接的句子作動(dòng)詞know的賓語(yǔ)，即賓語(yǔ)從句，該賓語(yǔ)從句是主語(yǔ)從句中比較特殊的一類(lèi)：主語(yǔ)+后置定語(yǔ)+系動(dòng)詞+表語(yǔ)；when it comes to...是常見(jiàn)的固定句型，意為“當(dāng)提到……；說(shuō)到……”。

2.By simply changing the language of your mobile phone you can see many different words and phrases in your target language,many of which will be easily added to your vocabulary.通過(guò)簡(jiǎn)單地改變你的手機(jī)語(yǔ)言，你就可以在你的目標(biāo)語(yǔ)言里看到許多不同的單詞和短語(yǔ)，其中許多將很容易地被添加到你的詞匯表中。

many of which will be easily added to your vocabulary屬于非限制性定語(yǔ)從句，先行詞為many different words and phrases；will be added to...意為“將被添加到……”，屬于一般將來(lái)時(shí)的被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)形式。

3.For you who are ready to move on to a higher level,you could even try to find books you have already read in your mother tongue,since you already know the storyline you don't forget.對(duì)于已經(jīng)準(zhǔn)備好進(jìn)入更高層次的你來(lái)說(shuō)，你甚至可以試著找一些以前用母語(yǔ)讀過(guò)的書(shū)，因?yàn)槟阋呀?jīng)知道了那些沒(méi)有忘記的故事情節(jié)。

who是關(guān)系代詞，引導(dǎo)句子作定語(yǔ)從句，修飾先行詞you；you have already read in your mother tongue為定語(yǔ)從句，先行詞為books，從句省略了關(guān)系代詞that或which。關(guān)系代詞在定語(yǔ)從句中作賓語(yǔ)時(shí)，常可以省略；since引導(dǎo)原因狀語(yǔ)從句，you don't forget為定語(yǔ)從句，先行詞是the storyline，從句省略了關(guān)系代詞that或which。
