今天文章有点长，如果习惯了每天看500字豆腐块的朋友，你可以直接看最后2段。如果对自己的阅读有信心的朋友，请一字不落看完。我写这篇花的时间，是你阅读完全文的时间的至少10倍。在彼此身上花时间，彼此才有深层次的交流。我真诚的分享，希望你也真诚阅读。
当我们在形容一个国外的人时，我们习惯说老外，老外几乎是对所有外国人的称呼，但是这个词如果要给国外人解释：In China people tend to call people from abroad Lao Wai. 他们可能会理解成有一点歧视的感觉。语言在翻译过程中会有变化，就像一块蛋糕经过水泡以后，味道总是会差一点点, 甚至原本的美食可能就变成了吃坏肚子的东西。
我因为喜欢看国内外的文学作品，而看到很多外国文学作品的汉语版，好多句子都读得很别扭，所以会认为这部作品写的不怎样。不知道大家是否有过同样的感受。这个问题我思考了很久，仿佛一个作家讲的话，通过另一个人用另外一种语言传播，经过传播后的语言自然很难保持原来作者的味道。你很难想象唐诗宋词翻译成英文版，可以在押韵上和语言表达上无限接近，但唐诗宋词的意境，在翻译的时候永远无法传递出来。
我主要从用英语学语法，用英语学如何学英语，用英语学听力，用英语学词汇来和大家分享。
大家可以在B站上找到各种版本的讲解，但我相信虽然通过汉语我们更加容易理解老师们说的内容，但理解现在完成时反而会变得艰难。通过英文来学习，只要突破阅读关，通过英语来理解英文，这个时态就很清晰了。
英文解释比汉语的要清晰的多。虽然学生们可能看不懂这段在说什么，但是作为老师自己有必要先弄懂啊。而学生理解时态之所以那么难，还得归功于大部分老师的汉语解释，老师们的出发点肯定是好的：用汉语解释不就是为了方便孩子们理解吗？但理解时态，其实需要在阅读里面遇见，需要自己做总结。这个过程耗费的时间比老师直接用汉语讲，自然要漫长的多。但把山撤了，孩子也就失去了翻山越岭的能力了。
USE 1 Unspecified Time Before Now
We use the present perfect to say that an action happened at an unspecified time before now. The exact time is not important. You CANNOT use the present perfect with specific time expressions such as yesterday, one year ago, last week, when I was a child, when I lived in Japan, at that moment, that day, one day, etc. We CAN use the present perfect with unspecific expressions such as ever, never, once, many times, several times, before, so far, already, yet, etc.
You can use the present perfect to describe your experience. It is like saying, "I have the experience of...." You can also use this tense to say that you have never had a certain experience. The present perfect is NOT used to describe a specific event.
·I have been to France.
This sentence means that you have had the experience of being in France. Maybe you have been there once, or several times.
·I have been to France three times.
You can add the number of times at the end of the sentence.
·I have never been to France.
This sentence means that you have not had the experience of going to France.
·I think I have seen that movie before.
·He has never traveled by train.
·Joan has studied two foreign languages.
·A: Have you ever met him?
B: No, I have not met him.
TOPIC 2 Change Over Time
We often use the present perfect to talk about change that has happened over a period of time.
·You have grown since the last time I saw you.
·The government has become more interested in arts education.
·Japanese has become one of the most popular courses at the university since the Asian studies program was established.
·My English has really improved since I moved to Australia.
TOPIC 3 Accomplishments
We often use the present perfect to list the accomplishments of individuals and humanity. You cannot mention a specific time.
·Man has walked on the Moon.
·Our son has learned how to read.
·Doctors have cured many deadly diseases.
TOPIC 4 An Uncompleted Action You Are Expecting
We often use the present perfect to say that an action which we expected has not happened. Using the present perfect suggests that we are still waiting for the action to happen.
·James has not finished his homework yet.
·Susan hasn't mastered Japanese, but she can communicate.
·Bill has still not arrived.
·The rain hasn't stopped.
USE 2 Duration From the Past Until Now (Non-Continuous Verbs)
With non-continuous verbs and non-continuous uses of mixed verbs, we use the present perfect to show that something started in the past and has continued up until now. For five minutes, for two weeks, and since Tuesday are all durations which can be used with the present perfect.
·I have had a cold for two weeks.
·She has been in England for six months.
·Mary has loved chocolate since she was a little girl.

这个网站的文章排版简洁 美观，我们在阅读这些信息的时候，既学习了知识，顺带锻炼了自己的阅读能力。阅读能力是在每天大量阅读的过程中锻炼的。同时每次阅读完一篇文章，我们自己会有满满的成就感。因为我们是在用英文了解自己感兴趣的内容。
我们在学生时代学英语目的性比较强，但学习范围大都被教材和配套练习册圈住了，所以很难进行科学的学习，大都通过汉语辅助学习，这样时间成本看起来少一点，但事实上我们绕开查词的过程，绕开原版阅读这座大山，也绕开了不断提升阅读实力和拓展词汇的机会。
而在听力部分，我们多数的孩子可能只听了教材对应的录音，很少涉及其他方面。为了让我们的耳朵停止翻译，我们需要在比如半小时内或者哪怕15分钟内听纯英文音频，一旦我们的耳朵完全适应了听力材料的难度，我们就会真正停止翻译，直接用英文去理解。我看综艺节目Ellen Show,很多时候为了跟上主持人的语速，会刻意把字幕关掉或挡住，不然看字幕的速度很难跟上人家说话的速度。我能完全听懂吗？自然不是。但我从让自己停止翻译，但开始享受看节目的乐趣，这就是我追求的。我每天都听的空中英语教室，每天听是因为我喜欢里面内容。
起步阶段，为了让听力的难度降到最低，我们可以从B站上的RAZ动画开始听（先看动画再盲听），RAZ AA级都是从单词和短语开始的，听力对于零起步的小学生都非常友好。
另外像One story a day 剑桥双语阅读小说馆 这样的分级阅读，都是配有音频的
一开始的听力材料让自己没有任何压力，这样我们才愿意去坚持，因为只有不断获得听英语带给我们的成就感，我们才有动力和恒心。
另外，我补一句：并不是语速越慢就越好。孩子其实有适应正常语速的能力，只是教材英语和老师的英语听惯了，会不习惯正常语速的英语。
用英文学习英文的另外一个习惯是查英文词典，虽然刚开始会很不习惯，我相信我们任何学习起步阶段都是很不自然的。我们可能忘记了我们这代人刚用洛基亚发短信和打电话时，一开始学习也会不适应，后来在大学最厉害的时候一天可以发几百条信息，平均几秒就可以打十几个字。但是后来习惯了用智能手机，现在我用我老爸的老人机反而很不习惯了，因为这对于我变成了一种新的学习。
但如果不用英文词典，我们只会记住一个单词的汉语意思，会固化我们对一个词的印象，在起步阶段是帮助我们快速背单词的，但同样也会阻碍我们的英语学习，因为我们很多词其实都没有学到精髓。
而这些只有自己动手查词典才能学到，老师在课堂上不可能讲这么细，而且即使讲了我们也很难有深刻印象。自己动手查词典，自己主动思考，每次查词都是一次深度的词汇学习。
一个外国人学中文最好的方式是跟着我们中国的公办学校学习，阅读学校布置的书单；或在中国生活，和当地人交朋友，在日常生活中学习和使用中文，如同一个中国人一样去生活（我在B站上看到一个四川生活老外 江喃，讲一口流利的成都话）；其次是学习对外汉语教材，借助英文学习中文，但通过教材学汉语效果和我们通过教材学英文差不多。我看过一个外教老师的汉语学习教材，里面内容大约是小学23年级左右的难度，这不得不让我想到我们大学学的英语会不会也相当于他们国家23年级内容。我们这个外教老师可以听懂很多汉语，但是只能看懂教材上的汉语文章（一篇文章在几百字左右），没法像我们小学生一样阅读各种小说，更加无法用中文进行日常交流。同样我们学英语最好的方式是在听说读写四个方面都用英文去学（用）；比较主流的方式我相信大家都不陌生：跟着教材学英语，这种方法比较符合目前学校的模式。
以前在缺少资源的时候，只能跟着教材学；如今除了教材还有很多其他资源可以选择，方便我们自己为自己打造全英文的学习环境。是否去运用这些资源由我们自己决定了。大多数人所生活的城市没有英文母语人士，也缺乏用英语和人交流的机会，相对而言，每天通过英语去阅读，去看英文视频，去听故事，是我们去和英语接触的比较容易的方式。为自己创造全英文的环境，会让我们的英语学习如同坐上高铁，票价比汽车和出租车贵一点（一开始会感觉到难，付出的也比较多，很长一段时间看不到进步），但从长远看，这样学英语无疑是更加舒服是速度更快的。
在阅读和听故事的时候，去理解词汇，这是我最喜欢的一种拓展词汇的方式。因为大多数时候其实都不必查词典，只有理解不通的时候，才需要停下来去查词典。
我提倡学生进行大量的阅读和听故事。如果说听对于大多数人比较难，那么阅读可以停顿，有足够时间可以思考，关键阅读故事比拿着单词书背有趣多了。

Joe: Hey, Edison, do you know what a cell is?
Edison: Yeah, Joe! A cell is like a tiny, tiny building block for all living things.
Joe: That's right! And we are living beings, right?
Edison: Yes, we are! Just like animals, plants, and even bugs!
Joe: How long do you think a butterfly's lifespan is?
Edison: It's not very long, Joe. I think it's just a few weeks.
Joe: Great job, Edison! And you know, if you don't get enough sleep, it can affect how you feel.
Edison: I know! I get cranky when I don't sleep well.
Joe: That's because your body needs rest. And when we play, our muscles contract and get strong.
Edison: So, when I run and jump, my muscles are working!
Joe: Absolutely! But we also need to be careful about viruses, like when we catch a cold.
Edison: Oh no, I don't like getting sick.
Joe: Me neither. And sometimes, doctors help people who have cancer. It's a very serious illness.
Edison: I hope everyone can get better.
Joe: Yeah, early detection is important. Now, let's play a game and see if we can identify our friends by their voices!
Edison: That sounds like fun, Joe!
Joe: And when we talk and share with our friends, it helps us relate to each other better.
Edison: I love talking and making friends!
Joe: Talking is a fundamental way we connect with others and learn new things!
Edison: I like learning and making new friends too, Joe!
Once upon a time in a colorful land, there were two best friends, Joe and Edison. They loved to explore and discover new things.
One sunny day, they found a mysterious tiny object. Joe said, "Look, Edison! I think it's a magic cell. Maybe it has special powers."
Edison, being curious, picked it up. "Let's see what this magic cell can do," he said with excitement.
As they touched the magic cell, they suddenly turned into magical beings with the ability to talk to animals.
With their newfound powers, they met a wise old turtle with a very long lifespan. He told them, "Every small action you take can affect the world around you. Be kind and make the world better."
Then, they encountered a friendly frog whose legs would contract when he hopped. Joe and Edison learned that exercise makes muscles strong.
Soon, they met a talking tree that warned them about invisible viruses that could make them sick. They had to be careful to stay healthy.
One day, they met a kind doctor bird who helped a friend with cancer. The doctor bird said, "Early detection and support from friends are crucial in getting better."
Back home, Joe and Edison wanted to identify their friends' voices in a game. They laughed and played together, which helped them relate even more.
As the sun set, they realized that friendship is a fundamental part of their lives, just like the magic cell they had discovered earlier. And they knew that every day brought new adventures and lessons to learn.
背单词，自然是在阅读里面见过和在音频里面听过，然后刻意去背，要容易的多。教材本身里面是有文章的，但单词出现的频率不够多，不像一本青少小说，一个词可能出现20-30次。而大多数孩子的词汇量和阅读实力，不足以让他们享受阅读青少小说的乐趣，于是我才编写了一些列的词汇故事。通过一大堆已经熟悉的词在故事里面去认识新单词，通过一群熟人介绍去认识新朋友，然后和新朋友多次交流。这样我们交朋友的过程会轻松的多。就像我认识小Joe和顾老师，是通过大Joe介绍的，而我认识Mike,又是通过小Joe介绍的。不然，以爱迪生的个性，或资源，是不可能有机会认识这些朋友的。通过熟悉的1500词，去认识新的1500词，通过熟悉的2500词，去认识新的2500词，通过熟悉的3500词，去认识新的3500词。
我不反对借助汉语，帮孩子去理解文章，但仅仅是在没招的情况下，或不说汉语孩子压根没法理解故事时。或已经过去语言黄金启蒙期，比如初中高中孩子(他们也的确是前面听力和阅读输入不足导致，不然英语老早起飞了），有强大的母语优势，借助汉语帮孩子们理解短语，理解文章。
但即使对于初高中生，通过汉语对单词，短语，句子和故事情节有大致理解后，也应让孩子多接触原声听力资源和阅读大量的英文故事。我们老说现在的初中生高中生没有时间，那么在本该学习的时候都不去大量阅读，还指望孩子进入社会以后大量阅读吗？就像大学生，现在普遍大二大三就已经忙着投简历忙着实习了，大学不是应该好好读书的地方吗？
学中文用中文去学；学英文用英文去学；学德语用德语去学。这样的过程起步阶段会很慢。我们可能忘记了汉语我们也是有大约2年的沉默期的，就别说外语了。但一旦孩子适应了用英文学英文，就会像旅行坐上高铁一样。如果你的目标是去罗马，你的规划和去当地菜场买菜的人肯定是不一样的。别一看到10天学会多少单词，20天学会多少短语，市场营销惯用伎俩，骗的就是急于求成的人。这些课程，并不缺少大牌的连锁英语教育品牌和网红老师，我不想得罪他们，也不想惹祸上身，就不点名了，你们自己眼睛擦亮一点。你们以为自己坐上直升机了，但很有可能被带阴沟里去，而不是你们心中期待的阳光明媚的度假胜地。
学英语的捷径，在我看来，不是在学习过程中持续用汉语翻译，为方便孩子理解故事把障碍物全部铲平，而是要引导孩子自己去翻山越岭，去直接用英文去感受英文，用英文理解英文。这个翻山越岭的过程，恰恰是最锻炼孩子的。当然，不能一上来就搬一座喜马拉雅山，也得根据孩子的情况来设置挑战。捷径，并非是不吃力的，并非是不花时间的，并非是没有门槛的。在真正的英语学习路上，可能真的并不拥挤，毕竟那么多人热衷于绕过英文阅读和听力输入，抄近路。须不知，近路很多时候是往错误的方向引导的。
