Middle-aged and elderly people are good at teaching themselves English by reverse method. Wang Ruonian. I have a wide range of hobbies, especially Chinese medicine. I graduated from Beijing University of Chinese Medicine. Then learn from many famous doctors and experts. My research direction in traditional Chinese medicine focuses on the mechanism of health and the methods of obtaining health. I entered the threshold of traditional Chinese medicine, so naturally I have to learn some medical English words and read medical pamphlets such as Chinese-English medical conversations. The learning method adopts the old method of learning English. As a result, you can't see the future with half the effort. However, we must continue to study and hope to succeed. Although I didn't teach myself English, my lover found my brain more agile. She suggested that she should teach herself English, thinking that no matter how well she learns English, the purpose of strengthening her brain can always be achieved. As a result, our whole family taught themselves English. At this time, by chance, I saw many students buy the book "Learn English skillfully by Reverse Method" in the school bookstore, which caught my attention. I also picked up this book and flipped through it, but I was firmly attracted by it. I read almost half of it in one breath and immediately bought the tape home. After reading this book, I was deeply moved by the innovative spirit of the author Professor Zhong Daolong. At the same time, I saw the new hope of self-learning English and immediately sent him an email, thanking him sincerely for creating the inverse method and solving the big problem of self-learning foreign languages. Then I chose the book "300 English Sentences" as an introductory textbook, and I have taught myself for almost half a year. Now I will talk about some experiences of self-learning English by reverse method during this period. 1. My experience of learning a foreign language by myself. I like studying. I want to learn everything and know everything. The same is true of learning a foreign language. English, Russian, Japanese, German and French are all self-taught. But I don't know how to study law. I just learned it with my strength and imagination. As a result, I worked hard for several years and achieved little. I felt that I had learned too much, so I switched to English alone and finally gained something. I independently translated and presided over the translation and publication of five difficult English science and technology books, covering modern mathematics, economy and trade, computers and so on. , which is widely praised for its accurate and smooth translation. But my English is dumb English. Although I want to get rid of this situation, I have never been able to do so. This is when I worked in a research institute before 16. Later, he was transferred to university of international business and economics to teach. The school attaches great importance to foreign language education, with strong teachers and a good learning environment. Soon, I was lucky enough to meet some senior English experts and professors, who introduced their teaching experience to me. They believe that adults must attend full-time closed training for more than one year to learn spoken English. Their words poured cold water on me, as if they made me understand something. Yes, didn't my experience and lessons in teaching English by myself prove their statement? As a self-taught English learner said, the streets are full of English learning losers. They have English classes from primary school to university, but after studying for more than ten years, they still can't understand and speak English. Since then, I have never had the courage to teach myself English, so I can only wait for the opportunity to conduct closed training and study full-time for one year. But so far I haven't waited for this opportunity. Professor Zhong Daolong is a successful self-taught oral English speaker. His success gave me hope, renewed my courage to learn English by myself, and made me determined to try again. 2. The reverse method guides me to learn English by myself. Before learning English again, we must carefully study the idea of reverse method, find out our own crux one by one by comparing our own situation, and make a correct decision that suits us. The reverse method tells us that we should have a solid knowledge of junior high school English in the primary stage. Professor Zhong Daolong has a famous warning: "You didn't learn English well in junior high school!" This is the person who failed English, including some doctoral students, including me. So, I have to make up lessons first. The reverse order method also tells us that for China people, dictation is more difficult than reading. ● Poor phonetics knowledge (suitable for my situation) ● Poor basic grammar knowledge (not suitable for my situation) ● Insufficient vocabulary (not suitable for my situation) ● Insufficient background knowledge (not suitable for my situation) ● Mainly low listening level, no lack of background knowledge (suitable for my situation) ● Not familiar with proper nouns (not suitable for my situation) ● Not familiar with the language used by announcers to correct slips of the tongue (suitable for me). This book has few words, slow speech speed and no grammatical difficulties, which is very suitable for me. My wife and I each have a set of books, tapes and a computer language learning machine. Dictate 300 English sentences word for word in strict accordance with the requirements of reverse order method. Study for more than 5 hours every day, and strive to complete the task of making up lessons as soon as possible. In the past five months, I have dictated 300 English sentences on tape for ten times, made a summary, listed unfamiliar words, classified and summarized sentences and phrases with similar meanings and structures, and extracted wonderful sentences and phrases. Now I can basically write all the contents of the tape of "300 English Sentences", and I will soon complete the study task in the make-up exam stage and enter the primary stage of special English. Although there is still a long way to go, I am full of confidence to win under the guidance of reverse method and successful precedent. 3. Self-learning English can also strengthen the brain. Now people who go abroad should learn foreign languages, and those who don't go abroad should also learn foreign languages; Young people should learn foreign languages, so should young people. Learning a foreign language is not just for going abroad and working. Life experience shows that people cannot "retire" when they retire. We can find many such examples around us. People who are still learning knowledge seriously after retirement are still very agile and healthy. Modern research shows that people's aging begins with the aging of the brain, and only the health of the brain can make the whole body healthy, which leads to the emergence of a modern health school based on strengthening the brain. Alzheimer's disease has become a frequently-occurring disease in contemporary times, which seriously threatens the health of the elderly. Alzheimer's disease is a difficult disease, so far there is no specific medicine. Therefore, Alzheimer's Harmo's disease has become one of the most feared diseases for the elderly. 2 1 century will be an era of "independence and health". Learning a foreign language that you are not familiar with is a good way to strengthen your brain. To this end, I regard learning English as an auxiliary fitness method for the elderly. Of course, learning other foreign languages that you are not proficient in but like to learn will have the same effect.
