第五课 第四节
第五课 第四节 Self-talk Environment Creation 口语自我表现法
所谓“自言自语法”就是自己跟自己说话,它不受时间以及其他交际因素的限制,只要有了一个私人的空间,你就可以对着自己开口说英语。自言自语没有多少时间和空间的限制,例如当你一个人走在街上、公车上、上下楼梯时等等,你都可以充分利用这些闲碎的时间练习口语。自言自语说英语的最大阻力就是缺乏自信或害羞,怕被别人当成疯子。如果你还不习惯的话,你可以先关上门,在自己的房间里练习一段时间,没有人会笑话你,你可以大胆的说、尽情的说。首先,你可以对着镜子,注意自己口形、面部表情,大声地夸张的说出每一个英文单词:一段时间的习惯后,你就可以慢慢地跑到大街上、校园里说,别人说你是疯子,当别人开始说你是疯子的时候,成功就离你不远了。
自言自语的内容也可以是自己平时准备的口语材料,做个人角色扮演或背诵。也可以是随感而发,一般说来,都是练习者根据自己的兴趣爱好以及自己关心的话题,随意展开思绪,任思想的火花驰骋,想什么说什么,见什么说什么。这些内容与自己生活密切相关,如果你还是一个在校学生,那你肯定关心学业问题,所以以下这些问题你就可以自言自语地做自我问答练习:
自我问答练习:
1.What college are you attending?
2.What are you majoring in? /What's your major?
3.What school did you go to? /Where do you go to school?
4.How many courses are you taking this semester?

6.Where did you go to high school?
7.What do you call this in English?
8.How do you pronounce this word?
9.How do you spell it?
10.How do you say that in English?
