Izzy: 我将分享我如何停止在脑海中翻译并开始用英语思考的经验。首先,你需要刻意地训练你的大脑,就像学习驾驶一样,初期可能感到不自然,但最终会变得自动化。要做到这一点,一个好方法是开始大声地用英语思考,即使你独自在家,也不要害怕犯错。重要的是要信任这个过程,并认识到不适感是进步的标志。就像学习乐器一样,初期可能会感到手指疼痛,但这是你正在进步的信号。所以,要培养勇气和意愿,而不是仅仅追求自信。面对挑战时,要保持开放和积极的态度,将压力转化为动力。记住,如果你感到不自然,那意味着你正在朝着正确的方向前进。最后,你需要在现实生活中使用英语,找到有意义的英语使用场景,例如用英语写日记或与朋友约定只用英语交流。语言应该作为沟通的桥梁,承载你想要表达的意义。为了实现你的目标,你需要将英语融入你的生活,例如用英语计划你的一天。在有意义的语境中学习词汇比死记硬背更有效。我会通过一个英语项目来展示如何在实践中使用英语,更多地与人交流,了解他们的梦想和旅程。
