怎么学单词

高薪职位需要双语人才。

进出口、软件开发、酒店/旅游、金融、广告和销售等领域的高薪职位都需要英语交流技能。

作为一名软件工程师,我在一家财富 100 强公司 EPAM 工作了 8 年。
这家公司的客户遍布全球,因此我们所有的对话和会议都是用英语进行的。为了提高技能,我们需要阅读英文文档、参考资料和教程。

银行向全球投资者推销金融方案,进出口企业经常与外国人交流,”一带一路 “倡议也是需要英语的国际项目。

因此,要拓展就业和商业前景,就必须具备英语能力。

多年来,英语一直是中国教育的一项要求。然而,在探索如何更好地学习英语的过程中,一些家庭犯了一些根本性的错误。

他们把重点放在背诵语法规则、词汇和课本上,而不是实际应用上。这降低了对英语学习方法的真正理解。

首先,基础要练到像母语

每天话最少30分钟熟悉/联系:

  • 名词
  • 动词
  • 形容词
  • 副词

复习基础框架:

https://chineseruleof8.com/2023/10/15/sentence-structures/

照着框架 放名词,动词,形容词,副词。。。

新的学生可以任何单词开始。

(主题)名词:

A cat
The dog
My dad
Her mom

(动作)动词:

drinks
eats
drive
cook

(宾语)名词:

milk
meat
a car
chicken

然后照着框架,比如 这个框架 subj – verb (action) – obj。学生们吧单词放进去就行:

A cat drinks milk
The dog eats meat.
My dad drives a car.
Her mom cooks chicken.

任何不懂的想用的单词可以用着 fanyi.baidu.com
要注意一个字的类型。这样就知道在宽家哪里可以塞进去。

如果一个单词不熟悉,要多创造句子。

有基础的学神们读书时候拿单词去用

bing.com 和
fanyi.baidu.com

一起去找单词定义和字的类型。

反复书写单词对学习的影响并不大。例如,我们来看看 “lobby “这个单词。

游说是一个动词,也是一个名词。

动词 “游说”的意思是就某一立法事项影响和说服政治家或政府官员。

但作为名词,它有两个含义。

其一是指进行游说的一群人,如动词 lobby。换句话说,就是试图左右立法事项的一群人。

比如:

Gun owners have formed a powerful lobby in the United States to prevent the government from passing gun control laws.

这里还有一个例子:

The tobacco lobby spent millions of dollars to prevent the government from suing tobacco companies.

另一方面,大堂指的是公共建筑(如酒店、剧院或办公楼)入口内的宽敞开放空间。

让我们来看看:

As you enter the lobby, you’ll see the elevators on your right.

因此,学生应该像这样写下定义及其词型:

lobby (动词) –

Then write the definition

lobby (动词) – influence and persuade a politician or public official on a certain legislative matter.

然后,利用互联网查找类似的例句:

了解单词、单词类型和单词构成后,您就可以使用基本的英语语法结构创建自己的例句:

subj + verb + obj

  • Let’s (subj) wait (verb) in the lobby (obj).
  • The kids (subj) are playing (verb) in the lobby (obj).
  • The lobby (subj) hungrily devoured (verb) its guests (obj).

也可以用百度或者bing的图片功能去用别的角度去看这单词是什么:

创造好句子以后,我们会有几个单词50%消化了。另外50%是要用着这几个单词去写文章。话题都可以,多少句子都可以,就是要保持我们把我们学到的单词在文章里面用到就行。

这个棒法能给孩子们在写文章环境消化单词。也鼓励他们去指导怎么吧单词在句子和上下文的情况去用。越写的多,进步越快。

Helping (auxiliary) Verb

    subj – We must say ‘A cat’ to refer to any, non-specific cat. We use ‘the cat’ to mean a specific cat.
    verb – the verb ‘run’ stays in base form because our subj IS NOT 3rd singular.

subject + verb + direct object + object complement

ref – https://www.grammarly.com/blog/object-complement/

object complement – An object complement is a word or group of words that describes or renames the direct object of the verb in a way that is essential to complete the meaning of the sentence.

Here are a few more sentences that show the subject + verb + direct object + object complement syntax:

I (subj) find (verb) the food (direct object) [at that restaurant inconsistent in quality].

Paz’s face (subj) turned (verb) the color of a tomato(dir object) [when she realized her mistake].

I(sub) now pronounce(verb) you(direct obj) [married].

The kids (subj) all got(verb) their ears (dir obj) [pierced on the same day].

Adam’s sore ankle(subj) made(verb) his subway commute(dir obj) [an ordeal].

subject + verb + direct object + adverb

Object complements vs. predicate adverbs

The third kind of direct object sentence to look out for follows this pattern: subject + verb + direct object + adverb.

Muaz (subj) composes (verb) his photography (dir obj) beautifully (adverb).
Muaz (subj) develops (verb) his photography (dir obj) [in a darkroom] (adverb phrase).

These sentences are still about Muaz and his photography, but the presence of an adverb or adverb phrase in the predicate (beautifully), in a darkroom — tells us that now we’re talking about how and where Muaz carries out the actions that go into the creation of his photography, rather than how he defines it.

Adverbs modify verbs (beautifully — modifies –> composes)

object complements describe or name direct objects. (‘in a dark room’ — describe –> photography)

Indirect Object – subject + verb + indirect object + direct object

Object complements vs. indirect objects

Another common sentence pattern is subject + verb + indirect object + direct object. Here’s an example:

Muaz (subj) showed (verb) us (indirect obj) his photography (direct obj).

Muaz is the subject,
showed is the verb,
and photography is the direct object.

The indirect object — the recipient of the direct object by way of the action of the verb — is the pronoun us.

Now compare that to this sentence using an object complement:

Muaz (subj) considers (verb) photography (direct obj) [his main art form] (noun phrase).

Here, the subject (Muaz)
and the direct object (photography) haven’t changed,
but the verb considers
and the noun phrase his main art form, clue us in that this is about rounding out our understanding of what Muaz’s photography is rather than describing how he shares it with others.

An indirect object typically receives a direct object, while an object complement describes or names it.

Indirect Object

Indirect objects are a grammatical component in English that typically receive the direct object of a verb. In simpler terms, the indirect object indicates to whom or for whom the action of the verb is performed. It often answers the questions “to whom?” or “for whom?” regarding the direct object.

Structure:

A sentence with an indirect object generally includes a subject, a verb, a direct object, and the indirect object. The typical order is: Subject + Verb + Indirect Object + Direct Object.
Key Points:

Not always necessary: Not all verbs require an indirect object.
Positioning: The indirect object can appear between the verb and the direct object, or it can follow a preposition like “to” or “for”.

Directly following the verb:

Example: “She gave her friend a gift.”

Subject: She
Verb: gave
Indirect Object: her friend (to whom she gave the gift)
Direct Object: a gift (what she gave)

Using a preposition:

Example: “She gave a gift to her friend.”
Here, “to her friend” serves as a prepositional phrase indicating the indirect object.
The structure changes since the indirect object now follows the direct object.

Another Example: “I made my brother a sandwich.”

Subject: I
Verb: made
Indirect Object: my brother (to whom I made the sandwich)
Direct Object: a sandwich (what I made)

Using a preposition: “I made a sandwich for my brother.”

The meaning remains the same, with “for my brother” indicating to whom the sandwich was made.

More Examples

“The teacher taught the students a lesson.”

Indirect Object: the students
Direct Object: a lesson
“They sent their grandparents a postcard.”

Indirect Object: their grandparents
Direct Object: a postcard
“He told her a story.”

Indirect Object: her
Direct Object: a story

Summary

In summary, indirect objects in English sentences help clarify to whom the action is directed. While they can be positioned immediately after the verb or introduced by prepositions like “to” or “for,” understanding their role can enhance clarity in communication.

Using infinitives with Indirect objects

Infinitives can be used with indirect objects in sentences where the infinitive acts as the main verb, and the indirect object typically receives the action of the verb. Here are three examples:

I want him to help me.

In this sentence, “to help” is the infinitive. The indirect object “him” is the one receiving the action of the helping.
She asked them to join the meeting.

Here, “to join” is the infinitive. The indirect object “them” is the group being asked to join the meeting.
We told her to call us.

In this example, “to call” is the infinitive. The indirect object “her” refers to the person being told to make the call.
In each of these examples, the structure presents an infinitive that involves an indirect object receiving the action implied by the infinitive.

Gerunds + Indirect Objects

Gerunds can function as nouns in sentences and can take direct and indirect objects. When a gerund is used with an indirect object, it usually indicates to whom or for whom the action of the gerund is done.

I gave my friend a chance (to practice singing).

Here, “practicing singing” is a gerund phrase, and “my friend” is the indirect object receiving the “chance.”
She offered her brother a chance (to cook dinner).

Here, “playing games” is a gerund phrase, and “their children” is the indirect object that benefits from the “more time.”
In these examples, the gerunds are functioning as nouns that describe the action given or offered related to the indirect object.

Prepositional Phrase + Indirect objects

Sure! Here are five examples of sentences that contain indirect objects used with prepositional phrases:

She gave the book to her friend.

(Indirect object: her friend; prepositional phrase: to her friend)
The teacher explained the lesson to the students.

(Indirect object: the students; prepositional phrase: to the students)
He sent a letter to his parents.

(Indirect object: his parents; prepositional phrase: to his parents)
They offered help to the neighbors.

(Indirect object: the neighbors; prepositional phrase: to the neighbors)
I made a cake for my sister.

(Indirect object: my sister; prepositional phrase: for my sister)
In each of these examples, the indirect object is receiving the action of the verb, while the prepositional phrase provides additional information about the recipient.

Rabbit and Turtle (Alice)

你的句子
我的解释
我的修改和建议

A turtle lives in the forest. His name is Ted.

A rabbit also live in the forest.

rabbit is 3rd singular, verb must use s. live –> lives

A rabbit also lives in the forest
or
A rabbit named Judy lives in the same forest.

His name is Judy.

Judy is a female name, so we must use pronoun “Her”

Her name is Judy.

Judy thinks he run fast.

Judy thinks she runs fast.
or
Judy believes she runs really fast.
or
Judy believes she is the fastest runner in the forest.
or
Judy is confident that she is the fastest animal around.

He say to ted. Let us run and to see who is the winner.

Remember that say is a verb. He is a 3rd singular, which means our verb ‘say’ must add an ‘s’.
and ‘to’ see – the ‘to infinitive’ is used incorrectly here. Please review ‘to infinitive’.

One day, she challenges Ted to a race.
Judy shouts, “Hey Ted! Let’s race to see who is the fastest!”.

Ted agree with him.

Again, 3rd singular must add ‘s’ to the verb.
Also let’s use adverbs to put more meaning to our sentences.

Ted reluctantly agrees.

At beginning Judy run very fast.

‘At preposition’ is used for places.
If you want to say during when the race begins, you should say “In the beginning”.

In the beginning, Judy runs very fast.
or
On a sunny day, all the animals gather around the start line and the race begins. Judy zooms off into the distance.

Ted runs slow.

This look an elementary student wrote it.

Unfortunately, Ted moves step by step and is really slow.

Judy back to see Ted .

This is NOT how you use the verb ‘back’. Please review verb ‘back’.

Judy turns her head and notices that Ted is nowhere to be seen.

He is very happy and prond of himself.

Be aware of your spelling.

As a result, she is happy and proud of herself.

He thinks Ted will not catch up him .

Please review “prepositional ‘to'”
Please review “be able to” and its usage.

She thinks Ted will not be able to catch up to him.
or
There is no way Ted will catch up.

So he slept a while .

Remember, we are using present tense only. No past tense please.

So she decides to take a nap

But Ted still keeps running .

We do not need extra preposition ‘still’.

But Ted keeps running.
or
Ted persists and keeps moving.
or
Ted perseveres and inches forward.

Finally Ted catch up Judy .
Finally, Ted catches up to Judy and sees her napping by a tree.

Become the winner .
Run on sentence. Also please do not have any space(s) between the last letter and the period.

Ted crosses the finish line and wins the race.

This story tells us. We can not look down other people.

Please review period (.) It means to end the sentence.

This story teaches us that we cannot overestimate others.
or
This fable instills humbleness and perseverance.

If we insist on and make the effort .we will be successful

If we insist on hard work and persistence, we will be successful.

8 parts of speech in the English Language

There are eight parts of speech in the English language:

  • nouns
  • pronouns
  • verbs
  • adverbs
  • adjectives
  • prepositions
  • conjunctions
  • interjections

The thing about these eight parts of speech in English is that they contain smaller categories of types of words and phrases in the English language. Articles are considered a type of determiner, which is a type of adjective.
