I think being able to speak fluently and expressively are two different kinds of learning, and it's hard to do one thing to improve them both I just wonder, if I follow a native speaker to read out an article (like mp3 on VOA news), will I really be able to speak more fluently? (If we define "fluent" as being able to pronounce clearly, fluently and gracefully in sentence structure) I mean.. I just follow the scripts..without thinking the structure of the sentence. It doesn't seem very effective. And when I am about to talk, I often feel I can't give expressive and ...beautiful sentence structure like some public speakers. What comes to my mind is only short sentences. I think reading the scripts makes me clumsy in making graceful expressions. Does anyone ever wonder about this? Reading without thinking ...is it good? How to find a more effective way to speak both fluently and gracefully? I think it's been a bottleneck for me for a long time. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.109.16.193 ※ 編輯: mingtai1 來自: 140.109.16.193 (01/20 23:26)
