好吧，你好，歡迎來(lái)到一場(chǎng)小暴風(fēng)雪期間的英語(yǔ)課。

Its not too bad out here.

這里還不錯(cuò)。

Its actually not too cold, but its supposed to snow quite a bit.

它實(shí)際上并不太冷，但應(yīng)該會(huì)下很多雪。

Anyways, I wanted to talk to you today about things you can do to make your English learning more effective, not easier, not things that will make it super easy to do, but things that will make it more effective, things that will make it worth your while.

不管怎樣，我今天想和你談?wù)勀憧梢宰鲂┦裁磥?lái)讓你的英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)更有效，而不是更容易，不是讓它變得超級(jí)容易的事情，而是讓它變得更有效的事情，讓它變得更有效的事情值得你花時(shí)間。

I think I have about six of them that Ill talk about in this video.

我想我將在本視頻中討論其中的六個(gè)。

I think theyll help you a lot.

我認(rèn)為他們會(huì)幫助你很多。

(upbeat music) The first thing you should do is the hardest thing.

（歡快的音樂(lè)）你應(yīng)該做的第一件事是最困難的事情。

You should start your day or your week doing the thing that you find the hardest when learning English, lets say between reading, writing, listening, and speaking, you find writing the most difficult.

你應(yīng)該在一天或一周的開(kāi)始做你在學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)時(shí)發(fā)現(xiàn)最困難的事情，比方說(shuō)在閱讀、寫(xiě)作、聽(tīng)力和口語(yǔ)之間，你發(fā)現(xiàn)寫(xiě)作是最困難的。

You should do that first every day.

你應(yīng)該每天首先這樣做。

Or if you learn English throughout the week, you should do that on Monday or Tuesday.

或者， 如果你整個(gè)星期都在學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)，你應(yīng)該在周一或周二學(xué)習(xí)。

You should always get the hardest thing outta the way.

你應(yīng)該總是把最困難的事情排除在外。

This doesnt just work for learning English, by the way.

順便說(shuō)一下，這不僅僅適用于學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)。

It works for almost everything in life.

它幾乎適用于生活中的一切。

When you do the hardest thing first, then you have a lot to look forward to.

當(dāng)你先做最困難的事情時(shí)，你就會(huì)有很多期待。

You have the easier, more enjoyable things.

你擁有更輕松、更愉快的事情。

And the flip side of it is do the most enjoyable thing last, because at the end of the day or the end of the week, you might be tired, and so its kind of like a reward.

它的另一面是最后做最愉快的事情，因?yàn)樵谝惶旖Y(jié)束或一周結(jié)束時(shí)，你可能會(huì)感到疲倦， 所以這有點(diǎn)像獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)。

So recommendation number one, do the hardest thing first, do the easiest thing last, or do the hardest thing first or the thing you dont like first, and do the thing that you do like at the end of the day or the end of the week.

所以建議第一，先做最難的事，最后做最簡(jiǎn)單的事，或者先做最難的事或先做你不喜歡的事，然后在一天結(jié)束或結(jié)束時(shí)做你喜歡做的事一周中的。

This next recommendation is from Jen.

下一個(gè)建議來(lái)自 Jen。

She suggests that you break things down into smaller tasks.

她建議你把事情分解成更小的任務(wù)。

Break your English learning down into smaller tasks.

將您的英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)分解成更小的任務(wù)。

When you plan to study for an hour, dont study one thing for an hour.

當(dāng)你計(jì)劃學(xué)習(xí)一個(gè)小時(shí)時(shí)，不要花一個(gè)小時(shí)研究一件事。

Decide on five or six things that youre going to do, and study each of those for about 10 minutes.

決定你要做的五六件事，然后用大約 10 分鐘的時(shí)間研究每件事。

This just makes the whole hour of learning English more enjoyable.

這只會(huì)讓整個(gè)小時(shí)的英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)變得更加愉快。

When you know that youre going to do a little bit of reading and then a little bit of writing, youre going to learn a little bit of vocabulary, study some grammar, and then do some speaking, and then some listening.

當(dāng)你知道你要先讀一點(diǎn)，然后再寫(xiě)一點(diǎn)，你就會(huì)學(xué)一點(diǎn)詞匯，學(xué)一些語(yǔ)法， 然后說(shuō)，然后再聽(tīng)。

It just makes the hour go faster.

它只會(huì)讓時(shí)間過(guò)得更快。

It helps your brain to do different things and learn different things, and it will overall just make the whole learning English experience more enjoyable.

它可以幫助您的大腦做不同的事情并學(xué)習(xí)不同的東西，并且總體上只會(huì)使整個(gè)英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)體驗(yàn)更加愉快。

So number two, break things down into smaller pieces, and enjoy each small piece as you do it.

所以第二， 把事情分解成更小的部分，并在你做的時(shí)候享受每一小部分。

The third thing you should do is think about the future.

您應(yīng)該做的第三件事是考慮未來(lái)。

I always like thinking about how will I feel if I dont do this today?

我總是喜歡想，如果我今天不這樣做， 我會(huì)有什么感覺(jué)？

So think about how will you feel on Saturday if you dont study English every day of the week.

所以想一想如果你一周中的每一天都不學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)，你在星期六會(huì)有什么感覺(jué)。

How will you feel on Saturday if you do study English every day of the week?

如果你一周中的每一天都學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)，你在星期六感覺(jué)如何？

因此，如果今天是星期一，而你不想學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)，那么想想你如何才能在本周晚些時(shí)候讓自己開(kāi)心起來(lái)。

Its really cool after five days of learning English to sit down on a Saturday and look back, and celebrate what youve done.

在學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)五天后，在周六坐下來(lái)回顧一下，慶祝你所做的一切， 這真的很酷。

Its really cool on a Monday to kind of give yourself on Saturday a little gift, a little bit of happiness, so that when Saturday comes, you can just be super excited that you worked hard learning English all week.

在星期一給自己一個(gè)小禮物，一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)快樂(lè)，這真的很酷，這樣當(dāng)星期六到來(lái)時(shí)，你會(huì)非常興奮，因?yàn)槟阏麄€(gè)星期都在努力學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)。

Another thing you can do is do a lot of the thing you like doing.

您可以做的另一件事是做很多您喜歡做的事情。

I think this is a good idea, especially when learning a language.

我認(rèn)為這是個(gè)好主意，尤其是在學(xué)習(xí)語(yǔ)言時(shí)。

Usually, the two things that people like doing when learning a language like English, they usually like listening to a lot of stuff and they usually like reading.

通常，人們?cè)趯W(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)等語(yǔ)言時(shí)喜歡做的兩件事，他們通常喜歡聽(tīng)很多東西，他們通常喜歡閱讀。

But listening is probably the number one thing that people enjoy doing.

但傾聽(tīng)可能是人們喜歡做的第一件事。

So do it a lot.

所以做很多。

Do as much listening as you possibly can.

盡可能多地傾聽(tīng)。

Listen to music, listen to podcasts.

聽(tīng)音樂(lè)，聽(tīng)播客。

Listen to YouTube videos after youve watched them once.

看過(guò)一次 YouTube 視頻后再聽(tīng)。

In fact, my Friday lessons, I often release a shorter version of it, and you can listen to that while you cook, while you ride the subway, while you go for a run, or while you exercise.

事實(shí)上，在我的周五課程中，我經(jīng)常發(fā)布它的較短版本，你可以在做飯、乘坐地鐵、跑步或鍛煉時(shí)聽(tīng)它。

So another thing that you can do, do a lot of what you like, like overindulge.

所以你可以做的另一件事是，做很多你喜歡做的事， 比如過(guò)度放縱。

Have the radio on in English at work.

工作時(shí)打開(kāi)英語(yǔ)收音機(jī)。

Do as much listening or as much of the thing that you like as you possibly can.

盡可能多地聆聽(tīng)或做您喜歡的事情。

Another thing you can do is set a quitting time.

您可以做的另一件事是設(shè)定一個(gè)退出時(shí)間。

Decide how many minutes or how long youll study English.

決定你將學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)多少分鐘或多長(zhǎng)時(shí)間。

Maybe set a timer so that you know when youll be done.

也許設(shè)置一個(gè)計(jì)時(shí)器，這樣你就知道什么時(shí)候可以完成。

When you do something hard, when you do something that maybe you dont enjoy that day, if you set a time so that you know when youre going to be finished, this can be really, really exciting.

當(dāng)你做一些艱苦的事情，當(dāng)你做一些你那天可能不喜歡的事情時(shí)，如果你設(shè)定一個(gè)時(shí)間，這樣你就知道什么時(shí)候可以完成，這會(huì)非常非常令人興奮。

It can be exciting to know that you only have five minutes left or 10 minutes left.

知道您只剩下 5 分鐘或 10 分鐘了，這可能會(huì)令人興奮。

Now I know learning English for you is enjoyable and exciting, but I always equate it to exercise.

現(xiàn)在我知道學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)對(duì)你來(lái)說(shuō)是愉快和令人興奮的，但我總是把它等同于鍛煉。

When I go for a walk, I really like walking, but I also like knowing that Im almost done.

當(dāng)我去散步時(shí)， 我真的很喜歡散步，但我也喜歡知道我快走完了。

I like knowing when Ill be finished.

我喜歡知道什么時(shí)候完成。

So you can do the same thing with English.

所以你可以用英語(yǔ)做同樣的事情。

Set a quitting time.

設(shè)置一個(gè)退出時(shí)間。

Set a time in the future when you know youll be able to stop studying, and then enjoy the studying while you watch the clock go down.

在未來(lái)設(shè)定一個(gè)你知道自己可以停止學(xué)習(xí)的時(shí)間，然后在你看著時(shí)間慢慢流逝的同時(shí)享受學(xué)習(xí)的樂(lè)趣。

Another thing that I think is important is to make sure that if you forget to study one day or if you dont meet a goal, if you decide youre going to study for an hour, and then you just dont have time to do it, dont let the fact that you didnt get it done demotivate you or make you feel bad about your learning.

我認(rèn)為重要的另一件事是確保如果你有一天忘記學(xué)習(xí)或者你沒(méi)有達(dá)到目標(biāo)，如果你決定要學(xué)習(xí)一個(gè)小時(shí)，然后你就沒(méi)有了是時(shí)候去做了，不要讓你沒(méi)有完成它的事實(shí)讓你失去動(dòng)力或讓你對(duì)自己的學(xué)習(xí)感到難過(guò)。

What you should do then is just shake it off.

那你應(yīng)該做的就是擺脫它。

I mean, life happens.

我的意思是，生活發(fā)生了。

Sometimes, we get really, really busy and we arent able to do the things that we wanted to get done.

有時(shí)，我們真的、真的很忙，我們無(wú)法做我們想完成的事情。

So the last thing, if you dont have a good day of English learning, just shake it off.

所以最后一件事，如果你的英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)不好，那就擺脫它吧。

Just think, "Oh, well, thats how life goes.

想想，“哦，好吧，生活就是這樣。

Ill hit the books hard again tomorrow.

明天我將再次努力讀書(shū)。

Ill do as much studying as I can, and Ill get right back on track learning English." Well, thank you so much for watching this English lesson.

我會(huì)盡可能多地學(xué)習(xí)，我會(huì)馬上回到學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)的正軌。 ”好的，非常感謝您收看這節(jié)英語(yǔ)課。

I hope you enjoyed watching the snow accumulate on my head as I walked around talking.
