[摘要]如果你肯花点时间，停下来为自己设定一个周目标，在“现实世界”的语境中使用英语。课堂学习英语固然重要，但是，将所学的知识运用到实际情况之中，能够大大提升学习者英语口语的流利性。
1.Ask yourself weekly: What do I want to learn this week? 1.每周问问自己：这周我想学习什么？
Asking yourself this question every week will help you stop and think for a moment about what is most important to you. It is easy to focus only on the current unit, grammar exercise, etc. If you take a moment to stop and set a goal for yourself every week, you will notice the progress you are making and, in turn, become more inspired by how quickly you are learning English!
问问自己这周我想学到什么，将有助于你停下来想一想，对自己来说，哪些事情最重要。仅仅关注目前学习的内容、完成现阶段的语法练习，做到这些并不难。但是，如果你肯花点时间，停下来为自己设定一个周目标，那么，你一定能发现自己有所进步。反过来，这也会激励你更加努力地学习！
2.Review important new information shortly before going to bed. 2.睡前简要回顾重要信息
Research has shown that our brains process information that is fresh in our brains while we sleep. By shortly (this means very quickly - just a glance at what you are working on at the moment) going over some exercise, reading, etc. before you go to sleep, your brain will work away on this information while you sleep!
研究表明，睡眠时人脑对信息的处理较为活跃。睡前简要回顾（也就是说，回想一下此时你正在做什么）做过的习题及阅读的内容。在你入睡时，大脑会对这些信息进行加工！
3.While alone at home or doing exercises in your room, speaking English aloud. 3.独自在家或在房间做题时，大声朗读英语
Just as understanding the basics of tennis does not make you a great tennis player, understanding grammar rules does not mean you can automatically speak English well. You need to practice the act of speaking often. Speaking by yourself at home and reading the exercises you are doing will help connect your brain to your facial muscles and improve pronunciation and make your knowledge active.
正如掌握网球的基础知识并不保证你会成为一名伟大的网球运动员一样，熟悉语法规则并不意味着能够流畅地输出英语。你需要经常练习。在家里说英语、朗读正在书写的阅读练习，将有助于大脑同面部肌肉相联系，提升发音水平、使你的知识更活跃。
4.Do five to ten minutes of listening at least four times a week. 4.每周至少做四次五至十分钟的听力练习
If you decide that you going to work hard and listen for two hours, chances are that you will not do extra listening exercises any time soon. If, on the other hand, you start off slowly and listen often, it will be easier to develop the habit of listening to English on a regular basis.
如果你下定决心刻苦练习，每次练习两个小时，那么你在短时间内，很可能不会再做额外的听力了。相反，如果你慢慢开始，加大练习的频率，反而更容易养成定期听听力的习惯。
5.Look for situations in which you must speak / read / listen to English 5.寻找那些你不得不开口说/阅读/听英语的语境
This is probably the most important tip. You need to use English in a "real world" situation. Learning English in a classroom is important, but putting your English knowledge into practice in real situations will improve your fluency in speaking English. If you do not know of any "real life" situation, create new ones for yourself by using the Internet to listen to news, write English responses in forums, exchange emails in English with email pals, etc.
这条建议也许是本篇最重要的内容。学习者需要在“现实世界”的语境中使用英语。课堂学习英语固然重要，但是，将所学的知识运用到实际情况之中，能够大大提升学习者英语口语的流利性。如果你缺少这种“现实生活”的语境，可以通过在互联网收听新闻、论坛上使用英语回复、与笔友用英语发邮件联系等方式，为自己创造新的语境。
