Earlier, in the hit drama "Mr. Love" and the star travel program "Flowers and Teenagers 3", Jiang Shuying showed off his fluent spoken English, and his English level is really not covered, and he instantly gained countless fans.
British Prime Minister Theresa May was invited to visit China and came to Wuhan University to attend the Hubei-UK Education and Culture Exchange Exhibition. The results of the event were introduced, and we were amazed by the fluent English.
And behind the brilliance of the goddess Jiang, there is also the painful experience of learning English .
In 2008, after Jiang Shuying finished her four-year acting study at Shanghai Theatre Academy, she did not choose to immediately devote herself to the entertainment industry like her classmates such as Zheng Kai and Chen He, but went to the UK alone to continue her studies.
's friends around at the time expressed their incomprehension and opposition. Because of her poor English language foundation, her family was also worried that she could not speak English well and would not be able to pass the language barrier.
However, she desperately insisted on going to study in English. When she arrived in the UK, " listening, speaking, reading, writing, and memorizing" are all dead spots for her, and the difficulty can be imagined. In order to practice English, she started to learn from ABCD again, word by word. Every morning, she went to class at 8:30 and got up at 7:00. In order to speak English well, she never does housework at home, and even goes to a restaurant to work part-time to carry dishes, clean tables, and clean up leftovers, just to practice her spoken English. When
just started school, because she couldn't read the test paper, she started to study harder. The most impressive time was that when she practiced IELTS listening in the morning, she finished and then went to see the answers, but she found out why she worked so hard for so long, the error rate was still high, and her grades could not be improved? At that time, she was very depressed and wondered if she was the material to learn English. The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she became. After a while, after crying and calming down, I assembled the book piece by piece, continued to listen, continued to practice, and persisted until the fourth month before reaching a new level.
Since she is studying media economics, she needs to learn English, economics and mathematics at the same time. A book on economics is more than 1,000 pages, and it is all in English. This is a headache for Jiang Shuying, and he suddenly despairs. But there was no way, Jiang Shuying gritted her teeth and insisted on looking up the dictionary word by word, and then translated it into a sentence. Only she could truly understand the hardships in this process.
's English proficiency has been greatly improved under all kinds of hardships. It took her a full two and a half years to complete her MA degree, and her efforts are too numerous to mention.
One minute on stage, ten years off stage. Jiang Shuying's English proficiency, which is now astounding, is really not something that can be achieved overnight. How many winds and rains, how many days and nights have survived, all rely on himself to persevere step by step. No one can succeed casually, it is just the result of hard work day after day.
So, what lessons did Jiang Shuying's learning of English teach us?
1. There is never a shortcut to learning, the most important thing is to persevere.
no effort, no gain. Especially in language subjects, it takes a longer time to accumulate and practice. For example, like Jiang Shuying, in order to practice English, he started from ABCD again, gnawed word by word, found out the important meaning of the word, and then put the word into the sentence, and then translated the full text sentence by sentence. In this way, you can grasp the meaning and usage of words, and also remember a typical sentence pattern. Words are repeated over and over again, and articles are repeated over and over again, overcoming difficulties, persevering to the end, and reviewing over and over again, you can make progress.
2. Be more hands-on, talk more, and practice more.
As the saying goes, "Three days without handwriting, and three days without reciting", the best way to learn English is to strengthen the ability to speak, practice repeatedly, and master the key to phonetic pronunciation. The English "speaking, listening, reading and writing" ability improved rapidly. In order to practice English, Jiang Shuying went to work in a restaurant, carrying dishes, cleaning tables, and picking up leftovers every day.In constant communication, English becomes better and better. Then, in our daily study, we can listen to some English broadcasts such as VOA and BBC to improve English listening. Actively speak and discuss in class, express your views and opinions as fluently as possible, participate in English corners, English salons and other activities organized by the school, and devote yourself to a completely English environment and atmosphere to learn English and accept the influence of English culture. Give up any opportunity to practice speaking.
3. Don't get discouraged, don't give up, and overcome frustration.
In learning, you may encounter various difficulties, and once you fall into them, you will have strong negative emotions and frustrations. For example, like Jiang Shuying, he found that he had worked hard for so long, and the IELTS listening error rate was still very high, and his scores still did not improve. At this time, there will be a strong sense of frustration, and I will feel that "I have worked hard for so long, why is there still no improvement". Then at this time, if you give up and succumb to this frustration, then your English journey will stop. If you can persevere, overcome this frustration, and keep trying, then the dawn of victory is just around the corner.
As the saying goes, you are as lucky as you work hard, and life never treats those who really work hard. Jiang Shuying's fluent English is all poured out with his own sweat.
