Читать книгу Boost up your English - Александр Чумаков, Иван Иванович Мазур - Страница 3

My dear friend! My congratulations! Welcome to Boost up your English.

Hello! This is Alex your English teacher. You are now ready to speak English easily, freely and confidently.

Here I am going to tell you what you should do to start speaking English easily, freely and confidently, the way you never did before.

How to use the Story

Each story, each set has several different lesson files. All lessons, in a Story, in a Set, have the same name. These lessons go together. Every day, you will listen to all the lessons in ONE Story, in ONE lesson SET (all the lessons go with the same name). You will listen to only one set for 7 days or more, but not less than 7 days or not less than one week.

This is very important. You remember that the motto of the course is “Repetition is the mother of a skill”

You will only improve your English quickly if you follow this method – one Story, one lesson set everyday – the same lessons set every day for 7 days (or more). Slower is better.

Now How to use texts:

1. First, try to only listen

Don’t use these text transcripts first. Try to listen to a story, a vocabulary lesson and a Mini-story, the POV stories and my Comments without the text. If you understand them, you don’t need the text – just continue to listen.

2. Use these text transcripts only when you do not understand something.

If you don’t understand part of a Story, vocabulary or a Mini-Story, the POV stories or my Comments read the text. You absolutely must go back and read what you do not understand. This is vitally important. This will help you identify vocabulary you might not understand from just listening. Use a dictionary, if necessary, to find unknown words. You will certainly begin to understand better and remember much better. O course, you remember: You can only remember things when you understand them!

3. Read and Listen at the same time, a few times

Once you know all of the words and phrases in a story, a vocabulary lesson and a Mini-Story, and all the other parts of the Story or set of the lessons, now you can listen and read at the same time. Do this a few times only. Every day focus more on answering the questions. Use your voice. I mean, answer the question in a loud voice. You absolutely must hear your voice!

4. Just listen again

Now you just listen to the Mini-story. Don’t read. You know the questions and the answers very well.

Do not focus on reading – focus on listening!

Put the text aside and only listen to the Mini-Stories. Only answer the questions. These text transcripts can help you, but don’t use them too much.

And of course, you have to listen to the POV lessons and my Comments and enjoy them. And do it as many days as you can, but not less than 7 days, not less than one week.

If you follow the system, you will certainly succeed!

Remember: listening is the key to speaking.

I wish you good luck and every success!

With love and respect,

Your English teacher,

Alex.
