The first exercise is what I would call spontaneous repetition.

第一個練習就是我所說的自發重複。

Now what do I mean by that?

我這麼說是什麼意思？

Whenever you're reading or listening to any piece of media in the English language, and you come across a word that is brand new to you, that you don't understand, or a word that you struggle to pronounce yourself, I want you to stop, pause whatever you're listening to, or stop whatever you're reading, and say that word out loud at least 5 times.

每當你在閱讀或收聽任何英語媒體時，遇到一個對你來說全新的、你不理解的單詞，或者一個你自己發音都很費勁的單詞，我希望你停下來，暫停你正在收聽的內容，或者停止你正在閱讀的內容，大聲說出這個單詞至少 5 次。

You should say it out loud about 5 to 10 times.

你應該大聲說 5 到 10 遍。

So for example, if I'm reading something on my phone, and then I come across the word thorough, and I'm not really sure what that means, I'm going to look up what it means, and then I'm going to say thorough 5 times, just like this.

舉個例子，如果我在手機上讀東西，遇到 "徹底 "這個詞，但我不太確定它是什麼意思，我就會查一下它的意思，然後我會說 5 遍 "徹底"，就像這樣。

Thorough, thorough, thorough, thorough, thorough.

徹底、徹底、徹底、徹底、徹底。

Just by physically saying it 5 times in a row like that, physically training my mouth to say a word that I'm unfamiliar with, I'm going to have a much easier time remembering the word and not forgetting it.

只要像這樣連續說 5 次，訓練我的嘴巴說出一個我不熟悉的單詞，我就會更容易記住這個單詞，而不會忘記它。

So for all of you out there who are concerned about forgetting vocabulary words that you've learnt in the past, this is an easy way to never forget the new words that you learn.

是以，對於那些擔心忘記過去學過的單詞的人來說，這是一個讓你永遠不會忘記所學新單詞的簡單方法。

This is simply because, generally speaking, you're going to remember much more all the things that you physically do, like physically saying the word thorough, as opposed to things that you're just passively reading and listening to.

這只是因為，一般來說，與被動地閱讀和聽講相比，你會記住更多你身體力行的事情，比如身體力行地說出 "徹底 "這個詞。

So every single time you come across a word that you struggle with, or you just don't understand at all, stop and say it out loud 5 times, and it will be very, very difficult to ever forget it again.

是以，每當你遇到一個你很難理解或完全不理解的單詞時，就停下來大聲說 5 遍，這樣你就很難再忘記它了。

I promise you.

我向你保證

In addition, this exercise and all of the other 5 exercises that I'm going to give you apply to people of all levels of English, whether you're at the beginner levels, the intermediate levels, or the advanced levels of the English language.

此外，這個練習和我要給你的其他 5 個練習都適用於各種英語水平的人，無論你是英語的初級水準、中級水準還是高級水準。

The second exercise is simplification.

第二個練習是簡化。

What do I mean by simplification?

我說的簡化是什麼意思？

This is just finding another way to express something that you don't quite know how to express.

這只是找到了另一種方式來表達你不知道如何表達的東西。

In order to do this, you're going to find a subject or a topic that you're not very familiar with.

為了做到這一點，你要找到一個你並不熟悉的主題或話題。

So, for example, if you aren't really familiar with the vocabulary in the medical industry, with doctors and nurses, you can consume some media regarding the medical field.

是以，舉例來說，如果你對醫療行業、醫生和護士的詞彙不太熟悉，你可以閱讀一些有關醫療領域的媒體。

You should also prompt yourself with some questions regarding the medical field, and when you're describing them, if you don't understand the vocabulary or how to express a certain thing, you simply need to force yourself to find another way to describe it.

你還應該提示自己一些有關醫學領域的問題，在描述這些問題時，如果你不理解詞彙或某件事情的表達方式，你只需強迫自己找到另一種描述方式。

This can be done with literally any subject.

任何主題都可以這樣做。

So, for example, if I was starting to write, type, or text about a subject that I'm unfamiliar with, let's say it is audio, and I don't know what this object is called, then I'll simply say, the thing that people speak into when they're doing interviews, or the thing that people sing into when they're doing musical performances.

是以，舉例來說，如果我開始寫作、打字或撰寫文字，內容是我不熟悉的主題，比方說是音頻，而我不知道這個對象叫什麼，那麼我就會簡單地說，人們在接受採訪時對著它說話的東西，或者人們在進行音樂表演時對著它唱歌的東西。

If I don't know what the word microphone is, I'll simply find another way to express it for the sake of conversing.

如果我不知道 "麥克風 "這個詞是什麼意思，我就會為了交談而另闢蹊徑。

This is actually a very powerful exercise because in real life, when you speak English with real native English speakers, you're going to come across a lot of situations like these.

這實際上是一個非常強大的練習，因為在現實生活中，當你與真正的英語母語人士說英語時，你會遇到很多類似的情況。

In order to survive conversations in English, you're going to need to know how to navigate your way through vocabulary words that you are unfamiliar with or that you do not understand, simply by simplifying it and redescribing it in another way.

為了在英語會話中生存，您需要知道如何通過簡化和以另一種方式重新描述您不熟悉或不理解的詞彙。

Now, the third exercise or way to improve your English speaking alone would be description.

現在，提高英語口語的第三個練習或方法就是描述。

So, like the word entails, you're going to describe things about various subjects.

是以，就像 "蘊含 "這個詞一樣，你要描述各種主題的事物。

This exercise is even more efficient if you start to describe things about made-up and fabricated scenarios and situations.

如果你開始描述一些虛構和編造的場景和情況，這個練習就會更加有效。

So, for example, you can ask yourself thought-provoking or prompted questions such as, If I had a million dollars, what would I do with it?

是以，舉例來說，你可以問自己一些發人深省或提示性的問題，比如：如果我有一百萬美元，我會用它來做什麼？

If I had the ability to fly, how would I use or abuse that power?

如果我有飛行能力，我會如何使用或濫用這種能力？

If I was invincible, what would I do tomorrow?

如果我是無敵的，明天我會做什麼？

Once you have a thought-provoking question, you want to describe what you would do in that scenario to the best of your ability.

一旦你有了一個發人深省的問題，你就要盡力描述在這種情況下你會怎麼做。

As you're describing what you would do, keep in mind the previous exercise, which is simplification.

在描述你會怎麼做時，請記住前面的練習，這就是簡化。

Meaning, if you don't know exactly how to express something, try to find an alternative way to express it and describe it.

意思是說，如果你不知道如何準確地表達某件事情，就試著另闢蹊徑來表達和描述它。

This ties in with the fourth exercise, which is expression.

這與第四項練習--"表達 "有關。

And ideally, you should record yourself expressing yourself.

理想情況下，你應該錄下自己的表達。

This way, you can keep track of your progress as the days go by, as the weeks go by, and as the months go by.

這樣，您就可以在每天、每星期和每個月中跟蹤自己的進展情況。

You can simply use the recording tool on your phone and record what you did that day, what you did that week, anything exciting you have coming up.

您只需使用手機上的錄音工具，記錄下當天做了什麼、本週做了什麼，以及即將發生的任何令人興奮的事情。

It could be literally about anything.

它可以是字面上的任何東西。

You just need to express yourself and record yourself expressing yourself.

你只需要表達自己，記錄自己的表達。

If you want to have fun with this, you can record yourself expressing yourself about thought-provoking topics.

如果您想從中獲得樂趣，可以錄下自己對發人深省的話題的表達。

As you're expressing yourself, and more importantly, recording it, when you play it back, you're going to very quickly see the gaps in your English-speaking abilities.

在你表達自己的同時，更重要的是錄製下來，當你回放時，你會很快發現自己在說英語能力上的差距。

As you're listening to yourself recorded, it's going to give you plenty of time to reflect upon how you can improve expressing yourself and improve those gaps in your English vernacular.

在聆聽自己的錄音時，您將有足夠的時間反思如何改進自己的表達方式，改善英語口語中的不足之處。

An even more enhanced way to do this would be the fifth exercise, which is interviews and podcasts.

第五項工作是訪談和播客，這將是一個更加有效的方法。

Now, you're going to find an interview or a podcast about a subject that you're interested in, and when the interviewer asks a question to the person being interviewed, you're going to answer the interview question as if you were the person who is being interviewed.

現在，你要去找一個關於你感興趣的話題的訪談或播客，當訪談者向被訪談者提問時，你要像被訪談者一樣回答訪談問題。

After you express your opinion, you're going to play the podcast again, you're going to hear what the answer was from the other person who was being interviewed, and then you're going to pause it again.

在你發表完自己的意見後，你將再次播放播客，聽聽其他受訪者的回答，然後再次暫停。

At that point, you could simply express if you agreed or disagreed with how the other person answered the question, or any other thoughts or comments you may have on it.

這時，你可以簡單地表達你是同意還是不同意對方的回答，或者你可能有的其他想法或意見。

This can be a very fun and a very interesting way to express yourself as if you were going through a real interview.

這可能是一種非常有趣、非常有意思的表達方式，就好像你在經歷一次真實的面試。

This exercise and the exercises before all will improve your soft skills in English for tons of different scenarios that you could come across in real life if you're ever in an English-speaking country.

這個練習和之前的練習都將提高你的英語軟技能，以應對你在現實生活中可能遇到的大量不同場景，如果你曾經在一個說英語的國家的話。

Even if you're in a non-English-speaking country, these exercises can just improve your overall communication skills in general.

即使您身處非英語國家，這些練習也能全面提高您的溝通技巧。

And the final exercise is what I would call a tutorial.

最後一個練習就是我所說的教程。

Simply think about any skill that you may have or any experience that you may have and think about how you would go about teaching it to someone who is unfamiliar with it.

只要想一想你可能擁有的任何技能或任何經驗，並想一想你將如何把它教給不熟悉它的人。

So, for example, if you play soccer, how would you teach someone to kick a soccer ball and other basic skills that come with the sport, soccer?

例如，如果你踢足球，你會如何教別人踢足球以及足球這項運動的其他基本技能？

If English is not your first language, how would you teach an English person your native language?

如果英語不是您的母語，您將如何向英語使用者傳授您的母語？

How would you do it?

你會怎麼做？

If you know how to play a musical instrument, how would you teach somebody else to play that instrument?

如果你會演奏一種樂器，你會如何教別人演奏這種樂器？

This will really force you to think and force you to focus on your communication skills and how you would handle a situation as a niche and specific like this.

這將真正迫使你思考，迫使你專注於你的溝通技巧，以及你將如何處理像這樣的利基和特定情況。

So to recap, the first exercise you could do is spontaneous repetition of any words that you come across that you don't understand.

是以，概括地說，你可以做的第一個練習就是自發地重複你遇到的任何你不理解的單詞。

The second exercise would be simplification, simplifying something that may be a little bit more complex.

第二項練習是簡化，將可能稍顯複雜的事情簡單化。

Third exercise would be description, describing and making up a story about certain scenarios.

第三項練習是描述，對某些場景進行描述和編故事。

The fourth exercise would be expressing yourself about anything going on in your life.

第四項練習是表達自己對生活中發生的任何事情的看法。

The fifth exercise would be interviews and podcasts, pretending like you are the person who is being interviewed.

第五個練習是採訪和播客，假裝自己是被採訪者。

And finally, the last exercise is the tutorial exercise, which is just simply figuring out how you would be able to teach somebody another skill or experience that you have, all in the English language.

最後，最後一個練習是輔導練習，就是簡單地想一下如何用英語向別人傳授你的另一項技能或經驗。

All six of these skills will do wonders for your communication skills, not only in the English language, but just your communication skills in general.

所有這六種技能都會對你的交流技能產生巨大的影響，不僅是英語，還有你的一般交流技能。

The more frequently you do these exercises, the faster you will learn English and the more progress you will make in a shorter period of time.

做這些練習的次數越多，你學習英語的速度就越快，在更短的時間內取得的進步就越大。
