In daily life, improving speaking ability is the most important, and there are two most important aspects to improve speaking ability, one is language and the other is thought.
Thinking, one is thinking ability, and the other is thinking ability. It is suggested that LZ can read some good books on philosophy. If time is limited, you can not read the original, just look at the overview and grasp the train of thought. Feng Youlan's A Brief History of Chinese Philosophy and Russell's History of Western Philosophy are recommended. The book is not big, just read one chapter a day. The advantage is that it is easy to understand and concise, and many philosophical thoughts about life are easy to doubt. You should be able to download e-books online. If you don't like watching it on the computer, it's all on sale and it's very convenient to buy. Speculative ability needs both theory and practice. In theory, we can suggest reading prose, Lu Xun and Wang Shuo are all good, and listening to the debate is also very beneficial. In practice, you can try various language styles with a few close friends, such as humor, tit-for-tat, or other possibilities. The relationship must be iron, so that the other party will not get angry because of carelessness, which will affect their interpersonal relationship, and it is also convenient to understand the effect of their transformation in order to improve. )
In terms of language, the sensitivity to writing and language literacy can't be accumulated overnight, but if your goal is just to speak well and be fluent in applied writing, it can be achieved in three months. The first step is to improve reading. Although I personally like the Book of Songs, Chu Ci and the first four histories of Han Fu, I don't recommend them because of my different hobbies. Xi Murong's prose and modern poetry are both models of aestheticism and implication, and Lu Xun's prose is strongly recommended again. Please forget the prejudice caused by too many myths in textbooks. From the perspective of a living person, Mr. Lu Xun is really cute. Of course, if you think prose and poetry will make you sleepy when reading, it is also good to read some high-quality novels. Among the new novels in recent years, the second, third and fourth novels of A Wandering in Kyushu by Jiangnan and Charming Life by Chu Xidao are all good. In particular, there are many thoughts about life in "A Adventure in Kyushu" 3 and 4 in Jiangnan, so it is very good to combine the two philosophical histories. Of course, if you choose to read novels, I suggest you read them for one hour in the evening. 1 1~ 12. Otherwise, if you are addicted, I am afraid that other plans will be difficult to progress! The second step is to understand some basic formats. Some basic practical writing and official documents have certain formats. Of course, this format is not only for text, but for things hidden between the lines. For example, if you look at an official document, what structure is it written in, what is the main content of each paragraph, and what language style is it written in. Read more model essays and summarize them yourself. I wonder if LZ needs to use writing. It doesn't matter if you don't need it for the time being. This basic skill must be practiced. In the company, the benefits of having good writing skills for promotion opportunities cannot be underestimated. Comrade Xiaoping was born with a pen. The third step is to practice calligraphy. You can start with a diary essay, or you can write a summary and plan on a regular basis. If you work in a company, it is strongly recommended to practice writing plans and summaries.
Besides being able to talk, another important thing is to be smart. In this regard, LZ is strongly recommended to look at a little history. Of course, reading history is more than just reading stories. It's best to read it and take a small notebook to write down the lessons learned from it. Personally, I highly recommend The History of the Three Kingdoms, especially the version annotated by Pei Songzhi. Don't use the novel of the romance of the Three Kingdoms instead. Novelists say there are too many impossible things. It's just that if you haven't read classical Chinese much, there may be some language barriers. I wonder if there is a vernacular version of Pei Songzhi's notes? If I can't find it, I haven't read the vernacular versions of Historical Records and Lessons Learned, but the classical version is very good. The key to reading history is to put aside the phenomenon and see the essence, and always think about the root behind the phenomenon, so that history will not be read as a novel.
In fact, personally, I have always felt that besides these relatively knowledgeable knowledge, health knowledge is also extremely important. It's really unpleasant to die ignorant. First, don't abuse your body, don't stay up late, live, eat and work as regularly as possible, and it's best not to touch tobacco, coffee or strong tea. Drinking is as good as it means. Second, strengthen exercise, men can run or go to the gym, and women's yoga is a good choice. If you don't want to sign up for class, you can buy books or potato teaching videos (for example, yoga can't be practiced by yourself or it's easy to get possessed, which is absolutely incredible, so you can practice it by yourself ~).
If you have the idea of cultivating yourself into a knowledgeable person, there are several aspects you can dabble in. However, compared with the previous items, it is not so important. We can do it after some initial progress has been made in other plans. After all, four hours a day is really short.
First of all, Globe and National Geographic are the magazines that I think are most necessary to read. You can learn a lot.
Two, computer, WORD, POWERPOINT, EXCEL three major office software must be able to skillfully use.
Thirdly, in English, watching American blockbusters often does not have much effect on practicing oral English, but it is very helpful to improve the sense of language. It is suggested to watch the news on CNN and official website of new york Times. Don't be afraid of language barriers. It's not particularly troublesome to open a golden hill and put the mouse on words you don't know.
Fourth, in astronomical science and technology, A Brief History of Time is not recommended. You can watch videos such as "Exploration and Discovery" or "Universe and Man", which can not only increase your knowledge, but also inspire you to think about your life path.
Lin Lin has written a lot, and what she wants to say most is that she admires LZ's determination to realize the transformation plan. People are expensive, I hope you can find your change happily after one year. I hope these suggestions can bring you some help.
Especially BTW: Typing and heartbreaking are hard work. I hope everyone will respect others and not pirate. If found, they will be investigated.
