Georgiana: 我认为在英语口语中保持意识非常重要,它能显著提升自信。意识到自己内部和周围发生的事情,比如停下来问问自己现在的感受,身体在做什么,呼吸是快是慢,是否感到紧张或放松。大多数人从未问过自己这些问题,只是快速地做出反应。但当我们停下来,哪怕只是一瞬间,去关注当下,就能感到更平静、更清晰,也更有自信。在英语对话中,如果突然感到紧张,可以停下来告诉自己,紧张是正常的,然后深呼吸,保持冷静,并相信自己能掌控局面。这种有意识的状态能帮助我们选择下一步行动,而不是被动反应。呼吸是第一步,当我们感到紧张时,呼吸会变得又快又浅。因此,在开口说英语之前,先深呼吸,放松肩膀,并在心中默念'我可以做到,我能掌控局面'。这能给大脑传递一个信息:不需要惊慌,我可以说话,可以倾听,可以回应。真正的自信不是完美,而是在紧张时依然能保持冷静。即使声音颤抖,即使犯错,只要保持冷静和有意识,就已经成功了。
