در فراگيري زبان انگليسي به چه مواردي لازم است توجه کنيم؟

فراگيري زبان انگليسي نيازمند عمل است. ممکن است شما تمام نکات يادگيري را بدانيد، ولي اگر انجام کارها را شروع نکنيد، به هيچ چيز نمی‌رسيد. در واقع، اگر می‌خواهيد بخوبي به زبان انگليسي صحبت کنيد، شما بايد زندگي خود را تغيير دهيد. در اينجا به برخي از کارهايي که شما بايد انجام دهيد، اشاره می‌شود:

 ¤ هر روز يک ساعت، کتابي را به زبان انگليسي مطالعه کنيد، گرامر موجود در جملات تحليل نماييد و در يک ديکشنري زبان انگليسي به دنبال لغات نامأنوس بگرديد.

 ¤  به نواري گوش بدهيد، دائماً آن را متوقف سازيد، سعي کنيد آنچه را که گفته مي شود درک و تلفظ صحبت کننده را تقليد نماييد.

 ¤  بعدازظهر خود را با تمرين تلفظ صداي r " " انگليسي بگذرانيد.

 ¤  به دقت ايميلي به زبان انگليسي بنويسيد، هر 20 ثانيه، از يک ديکشنري يا جستجو در اينترنت استفاده کنيد تا از صحت کلمه اطمينان حاصل نماييد. براي نوشتن هر جمله 5 دقيقه وقت بگذاريد.

 ¤  به جمله اي انگليسي که تاکنون خوانده ايد، فکر کنيد. به اين بينديشيد که آيا می‌شود بجاي a از the استفاده کرد. سعي کنيد براي يافتن پاسخ، به دنبال جملات مشابهي در اينترنت بگرديد.

 ¤ تا انتهاي يک خيابان قدم بزنيد و در ذهن خود چند جمله ساده انگليسي را بسازيد (با خودتان در مورد آنچه که در اطراف خود مي بينيد، حرف بزنيد).

به نظر شما چه کسي تمام اين کارهاي احمقانه را انجام مي دهد؟! فقط يک نفر. آنکه از انجام دادن اين کارها لذت می‌برد. اگر شما می‌خواهيد بخوبي به زبان انگليسي صحبت کنيد، بايد چنين شخصي باشيد و نبايد از انجام اينجور کارهايي تنفر داشته باشيد. آيا تا حالا شنيده‌ايد که کسي با انجام کاري که از آن متنفر بوده، به موفقيت رسيده باشد؟

مسئله موجود در ارتباط با فراگيري و آموزش زبان انگليسي بعنوان يک زبان خارجي، اين است که همه زبان آموزان می‌خواهند زبان انگليسي را بخوبي صحبت کنند. با اين وجود، اکثر آنان نمی‌خواهند روي فراگيري زبان انگليسي وقت بگذارند ( که احتمالاً به همين دليل است که در کلاس‌هاي زبان ثبت نام می‌کنند و اميد دارند تا معلمشان زبان را به زور وارد کله‌اشان بکند! بعداً راجع به کلاسهاي زبان مفصلاً صحبت خواهيم کرد.)

فقدان انگيزه به اين معناست که اساساً زبان آموزان روي آموختن زبان انگليسي وقت نمي گذارند، و اگر هم بگذارند، اين کار را به طور مرتب و منظم نمي کنند. مثلاً يک زبان آموز نوعي ممکن است به مدت 12 ساعت قبل از يک امتحان زبان انگليسي، افعال چندتايي زبان را مطالعه کند. با اينحال، چنين کسي حاضر نيست هر روز به مدت 30 دقيقه يک کتاب به زبان انگليسي را بخواند. او يادگيري زبان را خوشايند احساس نمي کند، بنابراين تنها هنگامي به مطالعه مي پردازد، که مجبور باشد. مسئله اينجاست که يک تلاش عظيم بي وقفه چيزي عايد شما نمي سازد، در حاليکه فعاليتهاي کوتاه و در عين حال هر روزه، نتايج زيادي به همراه خواهد داشت.

اگر شما از آن دسته از زبان آموزاني هستيد که از تمرين هر روزه تلفظ صداي r"" يا تفکر راجع به جملات زبان انگليسي خوشتان نمي آيد، روي سخن ما با شماست: شما بايد خودتان را مجبور کنيد که بخواهيد اين کارها را انجام بدهيد. به عبارت ديگر، شما بايد روي انگيزه خود کار کنيد. خوشبختانه، تکنيکهاي به اثبات رسيده‌اي وجود دارد که به شما در اين راه ياري مي رساند. قبلاً در مورد افزايش انگيزه بحث کرده ايم. مي توانيد به مطالب گذشته رجوع نماييد.

زبان آموز عادي در مقابل زبان آموز باانگيزه

سارا يک زبان آموز نوعي يا عادي زبان انگليسي است که سطح انگيزه کلي پاييني دارد. او گاهي اوقات انگيزه بالايي دارد، نظير روز قبل از امتحان زبان انگليسي يا زماني که نمي تواند با يک مشتري خارجي که او را فرامي خواند، ارتباط برقرار سازد. اين قبيل موقعيتها او را وادار مي سازد تا چنين بينديشد که: "من بايد روي زبانم کار کنم!" با اين وجود، اين موقعيتها بندرت اتفاق مي افتد، کمتر از يک بار در ماه. بنابراين، اگر او شديداً به مطالعه بپردازد (مثلاً دو روز کامل قبل از امتحان زبان)، نتايج کار، ضعيف خواهد بود، زيرا او 90% از مطالبي را که آموخته، ظرف مدت يک ماه از ياد خواهد برد. تعجبي هم ندارد: حافظه آدمي اين طور کار مي کند، شما بايد همواره چيزها را مرور نماييد، در غير اينصورت آنها را فراموش می‌کنيد.

حالا بياييد به يک زبان آموز متفاوت نگاهي بياندازيم: مريم. مريم تقريباً هر روز به مدت 30 دقيقه رمان خاص زبان آموزان را (که با جملات ساده اي نوشته شده است) مي خواند. او يک ديکشنري انگليسي به انگليسي خريده است و هر گاه که معني جمله اي را نفهمد، از آن استفاده مي کند. در ابتدا مطالعه منظم، کار سختي بود: خواندن کتابها و استفاده از يک ديکشنري براي او جزء "فعاليتهاي عادي" نبود، و هر جمله انگليسي دردسر داشت.

ولي اکنون، تنها بعد از دو هفته، او می‌تواند بسيار سريعتر بخواند. هنگام خواندن، او اغلب به لغاتي برمي خورد که در دو هفته گذشته، آموخته است. هرگاه او به چنين لغتي می‌رسد، ديگر مجبور نيست تا در ديکشنري به دنبال آن بگردد و او می‌داند که پيشرفت خوبي داشته است. مريم چنين احساس می‌کند که اخيراً به ميزان زيادي زبان انگليسي را فراگرفته است، و مشتاق است که بيشتر بياموزد. هر روز، او به مطالعه کتابش مي پردازد. اين کتاب، اين فرصت را به او مي دهد تا از آنچه که آموخته، استفاده کند ( از پيشرفتش لذت ببرد) و بيشتر بياموزد. از آنجا که او بطور منظم مطالعه می‌کند، ميزان فراموشي او اندک، و گنجينه لغات او رو به رشد است.

مريم در مسير درستي قرار گرفته است. او به زودي قادر خواهد بود تا روزنامه هاي انگليسي زبان و ديگر منابعي را که براي خوانندگان بومي نوشته شده است، بخواند.

لذت به حافظه بهتر منجر مي شود

اگر شما از آموختن زبان انگليسي لذت ببريد، روي آن بيشتر وقت می‌گذاريد و آن را به طور منظم انجام می‌دهيد. سطح بالاي انگيزه به شما نفع ديگري نيز مي رساند. بخاطر سپردن کلمات و ساختارهاي گرامري براي شما آسانتر خواهد بود. زيرا مغز به آساني اطلاعات مربوط به موضوع مورد علاقه شما را بازيابي مي کند. (مثلاً برخي از مردم عاشق تاريخ هستند و در مورد جنگ جهاني دوم همه چيز می‌دانند. اگر شما از يک "فرد عادي" بخواهيد تا همه آنها را بخاطر بسپارد، او هرگز چنين کاري نمی‌تواند بکند.) بنابراين، لذت بردن از آموختن، به شما سودي مضاعف می‌رساند.

Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares and brings you closer to me.

You must grow on yours own! But I will prune you to make you fruitful.

I asked God for all things that I might enjoy life.
God said, no.
I will give you life. So that you may enjoy all things.
 

از خدا خواستم کمکم کند همان قدر که او مرا دوست دارد، من هم ديگران را دوست بدارم.
خدا فرمود: آها، بالاخره اصل مطلب دستگيرت شد!
 
I asked God to help me love others, as much as He loves me.
God said: Ahah, finally you have the idea.

He didn't tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it.

Beauty Of Love Some body

to understand the heart and mind of a person,look not at what he has already achieved.
but at what he aspires to do.
چون خواهي اميال و افكار كسي دريابي
بنگر
نه در آنچه به آن رسيده
بل در آنچه مشتاق رسيدن به آن است


darkness may hide the trees and the flowers from the eyes
but it cannot hide love from the soul
تاريكي شايد از ديده ها پنهان داردگلها و درختها را
اما عشق را از دلها هرگز

love
is the only freedom in the word
because it so elevates the spirit
that the laws of humanity
and the phenomena of nature dont elter its course.
عشق
يگانه آزادي اين جهان است
چه
جان را چنان اخلاص مي بخشد
كه نه قوانين بشريت
و نه فرامين طبيعت
هيچيك نتواند
آن را در بند كشد.

of lifes two chief prizes,
beauty and truth,
i found the first in a loving heart
and the second in a laborres hand
از دو موهبت بزرگ زندگي
زيبايي و حقيقت
اولي رل در قلب عاشق يافتم
و دومي را در دست كارگر

truth is like the stars
it dose not apear except
from behind obscurity of the night
truth is like all beautiful
things in the world
it dose not disclose its desirability
except to those who first feel
the influence of falsehood
حقيقت
همچون ستارگان
پديدار نگردد جز از پس تيرگي شب
حقيقت
همچون زيبايي
آشكار نگردد جز بر آنان كه
زشتي دروغ را
در يافته باشند

many a time i have made a comparison
between nobility of sacrifice
and happiness of rebellion
to find out which one
is nobler and more beautiful
but until now i have distilled
only one truth out of the whole matter
and this truth is sincerity
which makes all our deeds
beautiful and honorable.

سالها در انديشه بوده ام
تا دريابم
كداميك اصل تر و نيكو ترند
والايي ايثار
يا سرمستي عصيان
و اكنون در وراي همه ي پندارها
تنها يك حقيقت را آشكار در يافته ام
و آن همانا صداقت است
آن چه به همه ي اعمال ما
زيبايي و اصالت مي بخشد

Fastfacts: Improving Your Sentence Structure

Introduction

To improve your academic writing skills, you must first understand possible problems with sentence structure so that you can not only recognize but write effective sentences.

To understand sentences, you must first understand clauses, which make up sentences.

A clause is defined as a group of words containing both a subject and a verb. Clauses can be independent or dependent.

Kinds of Sentences:

There are three kinds of sentences:

1. Simple:

A simple sentence consists of one main (or independent) clause. To be complete, a simple sentence must have at least one subject and one verb. e.g.,

The man went to the store.

A simple sentence may also have a compound subject and/or a compound verb. e.g.,

The man and his son went to the store and bought some milk.

2. Compound:

A compound sentence has at least two main (or independent) clauses, connected by coordinating conjunctions (and, but, or, nor, for, so, yet). Each clause must have its own subject(s) and verb(s). The second clause should be separated from the first by a comma in front of the coordinating conjunction. e.g.,

The man went to the store, and the salesclerk sold him some milk.

3. Complex:

A complex sentence has one main (or independent) clauseand one or more dependent (or subordinate) clauses. e.g.,

When an atom is split, it releases neutrons.

Dependent clauses can function in the sentence as nouns, adjectives or adverbs:

Problems With Sentences:

1. Sentence Fragments

A sentence fragment is not a complete sentence. It usually lacks either a subject or a verb, or both.

For example, three dogs and a goat. (no verb - what did the animals do?)
Studying too hard on weekends. (no subject - who was studying?)
Because I couldn't find my shoes. (contains a subject and verb, but is a dependent clause)

2. Run-on Sentences: Fused Sentences and Comma Splices

A run-on sentence is one in which two or more independent clauses are inappropriately joined. Remember that the length of a sentence does not determine whether it is a run-on sentence: a sentence that is correctly punctuated and correctly joined can be extremely long. Two types of run-on sentences are fused sentences and sentences with comma splice errors.

3. Loose Sentences

4. Choppy Sentences

A succession of short sentences, without transitions to link them to each other, results in choppy sentences. e.g.,

NO:
Our results were inconsistent. The program obviously contains an error. We need to talk to Paul Davis. We will ask him to review the program.

YES:
We will ask Paul Davis to review the program because it gave us inconsistent results.

5. Excessive Subordination

Excessive subordination is not an effective substitute for choppiness. e.g.,

NO:
Doug thought that he was prepared but he failed the examination which meant that he had to repeat the course before he could graduate which he didn't want to do because it would conflict with his summer job.

YES:
Doug thought that he was prepared, but he failed the examination. Therefore, he would have to repeat the course before he could graduate. He did not want to do that because it would conflict with his summer job.

6. Parallel Structure

Parts of a sentence which are in sequence must all follow the same grammatical or structural principle. e.g.,

NO:
I like to swim, to sail, and rowing.
YES:
I like to swim, to sail, and to row.
YES:
I like swimming, sailing, and rowing.

NO:
This report is an overview of the processes involved, the problems encountered, and how they were solved.
YES:
This report is an overview of the processes involved, the problems encountered, and the solutions devised.
