刻意觀察單一文法概念,針對小細節內化
要能夠全面掌握你所學的文法,並非讀得懂、聽得懂即可,但我們常常在能讀懂、聽懂後就忽略了說和寫的輸出訓練,即使基礎文法也需要花大量時間練習。
而內化文法的第一招就是在練習時「刻意觀察」 ,對特定文法有意識並不斷修正調整,就慢慢將其內化產生語感。
而所謂語感就是,當你看到 I am student. 這個句子,會有個直覺就是哪裡怪怪的,而不是回想名詞可數與否的文法規則或你寫在筆記上的內容,才意識到少加了一個冠詞 a,聽起來兩者結果或許都一樣能夠修正,將其調整成符合文法規則的句子:I am a student. 但在輸出部分(說跟寫)特別是口說,更需要這種對的瞬間反應,過多的思考時間,就會讓你的表達聽起來很卡不流暢。
以下面這篇文章作為素材,一次專注於一個小細節,我們就拿「名詞的可數與否」當作示範。
挑選素材時,記得要挑符合自己程度,以可以看懂九成以上為原則,才能專注於文法上的學習,不被其他陌生單字等因素干擾。
International Day of Friendship (國際友誼日)
The importance of friends
Friends come in all shapes and sizes. They may be someone we met as a child, a classmate, someone we met at work or through other friends. They may be friends living at a distance in another country or virtual friends we've made online. Whoever they are, however we meet them, there is a special connection based on a shared history enjoying doing things together and understanding each other. Friends are there to help us at difficult times and to celebrate the good times. Doctors say that friends are very important for both our physical and mental health at all stages in life.
用紅色標記出所有『可數名詞』,並用粗體提醒自己『冠詞的使用』和『複數型』,綠色則用來標記『不可數名詞』,一次只專注於『一個』文法概念或小細節。
Friends come in all shapes and sizes. They may be someone we met as a child, a classmate, someone we met at work or through other friends. They may be friends living at a distance in another country or virtual friends we've made online. Whoever they are, however we meet them, there is a special connection based on a shared history enjoying doing things together and understanding each other. Friends are there to help us at difficult times and to celebrate the good times. Doctors say that friends are very important for both our physical and mental health at all stages in life.
再用同樣的方式,標註另外 3-5 篇文章,增加一定的語料量。
反覆有意識地去觀察並思考標記的理由,像是為什麼這邊加 the?可能是指前面提過的特定名詞或代表一個你我都知道的對象,為什麼這邊是加 s?可能是因為不止一個或泛指某類名詞,最後更進階一點還可以抄寫。
經過幾篇文章的內化後,你會感受到文章一開始說的,看到一些漏掉基本冠詞或複數字尾s的句子,會直接感受到一種怪怪的感覺,很自然地覺得有地方不對,不用回想任何知識內容,就是你把這個文法的小細節,開始內化在腦裡了。
歡迎把這篇文章傳給你身邊正在學英文的朋友們,下一集要教大家超有效內化文法的方式 2,我們就下次見啦!
