聽歌學(xué)英語的優(yōu)缺點
很多老師喜歡在課上播放流行的英文歌曲，許多英語專業(yè)課也設(shè)置有聽英文歌曲的環(huán)節(jié)，而聽歌學(xué)英語真的有效嗎?接下來，小編給大家準(zhǔn)備了聽歌學(xué)英語的優(yōu)缺點,歡迎大家參考與借鑒。
聽歌學(xué)英語的優(yōu)缺點
聽歌學(xué)英語有兩大不足：
1 學(xué)不到對話和寫作用語;
2 學(xué)不到日常交流時的語氣和節(jié)奏。
當(dāng)然，聽歌學(xué)英語并不如全無好處，至少可以助你培養(yǎng)對英語的興趣，尤其是當(dāng)你迷上英美某些歌星的時候。
所以，喜歡聽就聽吧，至于專門為學(xué)英語而聽歌就大可不必了。
相比之下，看電視學(xué)英語則更加有效。但究竟怎么學(xué)才能事半功倍呢?
聽英語原音，看中文字幕的做法雖然省心，但作用甚微。正確的做法應(yīng)該是：一邊看片，一邊翻字典。邊看邊按暫停，邊看邊模仿劇中演員的對話。需要留意的有如下方面：
1 所選影片一定要有英文字幕
看電視學(xué)英語，怎能沒有英語字幕?聽不明白，可以按"暫停"后慢慢分析。我們甚至可以在網(wǎng)上搜索劇本?？从捌臅r候，將打印好的劇本擺在旁邊，邊聽影片，便在劇本上面圈畫，遇到不懂的對話或者詞匯時，就按"暫停"后翻字典研究。如果聽不懂還一味去聽，只能是浪費時間。
2 準(zhǔn)備一本字典
遇到不懂的生詞就可以翻閱字典，這是學(xué)字學(xué)句的最佳辦法。最好再準(zhǔn)備一本習(xí)語字典(Idiom Dictionary)，然后看影片的時候不時按"暫停"，查字，"重播"，直至學(xué)會所有詞句。
3 做筆記
學(xué)到有用東西的時候，拿筆記下來。值得記錄的內(nèi)容除了詞句的解釋，最好還加上整句的對白，甚至說話的情景。學(xué)會在適當(dāng)?shù)臅r候說適當(dāng)?shù)脑?，這比學(xué)會多少生詞還要重要。
4 學(xué)習(xí)的心態(tài)
其實每一套節(jié)目，每一部影片，都是絕佳的學(xué)習(xí)教材。用心去學(xué)，你會發(fā)覺每一字每一句都值得學(xué)習(xí)。一套半小時的劇集，不妨用上三、四歌小時去看，所學(xué)一定很多。
擴(kuò)展：So that, such that
I have been studying English for nearly thirty years, but I'm still a learner. I often listen to BBCLearningEnglish.com. Its easy and pleasant for me.
Theres a story about bees and elephants in Kenya in the BBCs "Words in the News" (10 October, 2007) program. One of its sentences says: "This is the gentle buzz of bees in the English countryside, but the angry buzz of their fiercer cousins in Kenya is such that it terrifies the giant beasts."
Why "is such"? I felt that "is such" is expressive1, but I can not explain why and I can't use the expression myself.
Could you explain it for me? It seems to me that you can explain almost everything.
My comments:
The "almost" in "you can explain almost everything" is redundant2, lol.
As a matter of fact, the expressive expression you were pointing to is not "is such", but "such that." "Is", you see, is just one form of "be" – it can be replaced by "are", or "was", or "were", or "has been, have been, had been", etc.
Anyways, "such that" is used to give a reason or, if you like, an explanation for something. For instance, you could've said: My English is such that I still feel like a beginner even though I've been studying the language for 30 years.
"Such that" is considered formal and used by literary people, such as writers at the BBC. But one easy way to remember this two-word combination is to treat it as a variation of the more commonplace "so that". In fact, a "such that" sentence can always be turned into a "so... that" sentence.
Or almost always.
For example, the sentence you quoted from the BBC may be rewritten this way, with "such that" replaced by "so... that":
This is the gentle buzz of bees in the English countryside, but the angry buzz of their cousins in Kenya is so fierce that it terrifies the giant beasts.
Or this way:
This is the gentle buzz of bees in the English countryside, but the angry buzz of their cousins in Kenya is fierce, so fierce that it terrifies the giant beasts.
Or even this way:
This is the gentle buzz of bees in the English countryside, but the angry buzz of their cousins in Kenya is much fiercer, so much so that it terrifies the giant beasts.
The re-writings sound less BBC-like, but you get my drift.
Here are a few more examples of "such that", just so that you may get very familiar and comfortable with these two words whenever you see them side by side. Be familiar and comfortable with them, you see, is what it's about. In other words, keep studying.
1. John Tanner's remarks came during an Oct. 5 panel discussion on minority voters before the National Latino Congreso in Los Angeles. Tanner addressed state laws that require photo identification for voting, saying that elderly voters disproportionately don't have the proper IDs.
"That's a shame, you know, creating problems for elderly persons just is not good under any circumstance," Tanner said, according to video posted on YouTube. "Of course, that also ties into the racial aspect because our society is such that minorities don't become elderly the way white people do. They die first."

2. The bald facts are these: Manchester United last night became the first English side in history to win the treble, beating Bayern Munich 2-1 in Barcelona to win the European Champions' League. But the manner of their victory was such that no one, not their manager Alex Ferguson, nor the thousands of delirious3 English supporters, not even the scriptwriters of Roy of the Rovers would dare to suggest. With the stadium clock showing 90 minutes, United scored not once but twice to wipe out an early goal scored by Bayern Munich and take home the European Cup, the largest piece of silverware in world football.

3. Neil Woodford could be dubbed5 the UK Equity6 Income King. Based in Henley-on-Thames, well away from the hubbub7 of the City of London, he has managed Invesco Perpetual High Income fund since 1988 and the closely related Invesco Perpetual Income fund since 1990. Both have had dull patches, notably8 in the late 1990s. But Woodford's reluctance9 to join the rush into technology, media and telecommunications companies at the height of the dotcom euphoria was fully10 vindicated11 in the subsequent bear market, and the funds' short and long-term success has been such that they have attracted of over £12 billion of investor's money.
