英文

　　I studied English for 8 years at school – a long time ago.

　　After graduating from university, I tried not to lose my English but it was not always easy.

　　I didn’t have classes or online courses until 2012 when a South African company took over the company I was working for and my boss organized a two- month English course for all the directors of the board.

　　On that occasion, I found out that I remembered something and could speak, but I was no longer able to listen to the radio or watch TV and really understand the language.

　　What a disappointment!

　　很早以前，我还在院校里学习英文长达八年之久。

　　当我们从毕业后后，我尝试不扔下英语，殊不知我发现了这难以完成。

　　在这里以前我全是沒有一切英语口语课程或网上课程的，直至2012年，我所属的企业被一家巴西企业收购，新老板为企业股东会全部管理人员机构一个历时两个月的英语口语课程。

　　从那一次之后，我忽然发觉我可以记牢一些英文并且还能张口说英语，但我却没法用英文收听广播，看电视剧，没有办法真实了解这门語言。多么的让人心寒啊！

　　First of all, I must say that I’m a mature student.

　　I have a job, a family, a life to live, but about a year ago I started to feel the need to improve my English, that used to be good but not perfect.

　　I wanted to be understood when abroad, to write an e- mail without panicking and to understand most of (not all) the contents of a newspaper.

　　So, I set out to do 3 things which I believe is what my fellow learners should do.

　　*，我务必说起我是一个很完善的学员。

　　是我工作中，有家中，有自身的日常生活要过，我的英文以前虽算不上*可是也是非常好的。

　　可是一年前我逐渐感受到我还是*须提升我的英文。

　　希望我出国时他人能听得懂我说话，发送邮件时无需觉得焦虑，看报纸时最少绝大多数內容看得懂（我不会规定所有）。

　　因此，我打算做三件事，我觉得我的英语学习培训义兄们也应当那样做。

　　1.Find a teacher

　　找一个教师

　　The teacher is, in fact, essential to your learning process. He or she must understand your needs and keep your interests high and your enthusiasm alive, especially when you’re tired or discouraged.

　　实际上，教师就是你学习过程中不可或缺的一部分。他或她务必搞清楚你的学习培训目地，维持你的自学能力上涨，维护保养你的学习培训激情，尤其是如果你觉得太累了或泻气的情况下。

　　Your teacher must know what to do or what not to do to make you feel confident and still eager to learn.

　　教师务必了解如何使你觉得信心并期盼学习培训，哪些能做，哪些不可以做，老师都需要清晰。

　　2.Find something you like and do it in English

　　发掘你喜爱做的事儿，随后用英文去做

　　The second advice I want to share with my fellow students is this: find something you really like and do it in English.

　　我觉得共享给同胞们的第二条工作经验是：发觉你热衷于做的事儿，随后用英文去做。

　　I love TV dramas, biopics, TV series and entertainment shows like Graham Norton or The David Letterman Show. I started to watch them in English with Italian subtitles, then with English subtitles and, now, I watch them without subtitles!

　　我很喜欢看剧，传记片，综艺节目，例如格拉汉姆.诺顿，杰弗里脱口秀节目。因此我逐渐看英语版带意大利文外挂字幕的这节目，以后看带英文版的，如今，我觉得没有外挂字幕的。

　　After a while I found myself able to capture the deeper meaning of the dialogue and, as an old Italian proverb says, ‘I’ve started to understand not only the language but the culture behind it (the dialogue)’.

　　历经一段时间，我发现了我能了解会话中更深层次的实际意义，如同一句历史悠久的西班牙俗语常说：“我逐渐从会话中了解掩埋在語言表层下的深层次文化底蕴。”

　　3. Establish a routine

　　建立英文“客客气气”体制

　　I have an “English” routine. Just as athletes run or swim every day not to lose their fitness, I watch English TV every evening. It doesn’t matter whether it’s Downton Abbey or The Graham Norton Show, I just feel better if I listen to or watch just a little bit of my favourite programmes.

　　是我一套自己的英语“客客气气”。如同选手坚持跑步或游水以瘦下去，我每晚看英语电视栏目。不论是《唐顿庄园》還是《格拉汉姆.诺顿》，只需我看一下，就算是一点点我很喜欢的综艺节目，我也觉得十分非常好。

　　When I feel too tired to deal with something new, I simply watch an episode or an interview I’ve already seen and liked, in order to enjoy myself without being a lazy student.

　　当我们感觉很累不愿解决事儿时，我能看一看以前看了的较为喜爱的电视剧片段或访谈，那样做的目地是使自身在享有的另外不会变为懒学员。

　　Learning English seriously (like old age) is not for sissies, so come on, get to work and very soon you’ll find yourself captured by the new, different, amazing and fascinating world of words.

　　学习英文严苛的说（像年纪稍大点）并不是懦夫的手机游戏，因此 给油盆友，赶紧逐渐行动起来，迅速你也就会察觉自己沉浸在一个新的不同寻常的，美好极其的文本全球里。
