There is a student in New Oriental who is now at Duke University. He began to recite the third book of New Concept English from the first year of high school and didn't finish it until the third year of high school. The college entrance examination entered Peking University. After entering Peking University, he didn't want to recite it any more. But when he recited it to his classmates, all the other students showed envious eyes. Therefore, for this vanity, he insisted on reciting the fourth book and memorized the third and fourth books by heart. How far does he know? Someone said any of them, so that he could connect the previous sentence with the next one, and the pronunciation was very standard, because he recited it by imitating the tape. Later, he went to Duke University in America. He wrote a letter to his teacher in New Oriental, but the teacher was afraid to reply because he was afraid of his English. He has learned English so well that he can only write back to him in Chinese, telling him that it is not that he can't write English, but that he wants to brush up on Chinese and not forget the language of his motherland. The student wrote an article in the first week in America, and the professor called him over and said that his article was plagiarized because it was so good. The professor said, "I have been teaching for 20 years and have never taught such a beautiful article." The student said, I can't prove that I can write such an excellent article, but I tell you that I can recite 108 articles and I am very skilled. do you want to hear it ? As a result, the professor began to cry before he finished reciting two articles. Why? Because the professor thinks that he has been teaching for 20 years, but he has never recited a single article, all of which are recited by China students, so he is very sad. ...

From then on, I had an impulse. One day, I believe I can recite all this 108 article. Like I did it.

I believe some people will ask: What is your biggest difficulty in reciting? My answer is "persistence". In fact, I can stick to it because of a short story I saw in The Reader:

Socrates, an ancient Greek philosopher, gave his students the first class and asked them to raise their hands before class every day. A week later, he found that half of the students stopped waving; A month later, he found that only one third was waving; After half a year, he looked again and found that only one person was waving, and that person was Plato.

Plato later became a great thinker and philosopher.

In fact, everything is "simple repetition and mechanical labor" in the end. As long as you do it, ok, you may be at the forefront in a certain field, even $ Number.

Part II: Present continuous tense (reciting specific strategies)

No matter what you study, you may make a plan for yourself or have a step.

I heard of Wang Guowei's Three Realms a long time ago:

Last night, the west wind withered the green trees, and I went upstairs alone to see the horizon.

I don't regret that my belt is getting wider and wider, which makes people haggard for Iraq.

The crowd looked for her former Baidu, but the man turned back in the dim light.

Did these words inspire you to do things?

I like Chairman Mao's poems very much, so I also have three realms of doing things connected by Chairman Mao's poems.

Xiongguan road is as iron as iron, and now it is a leap from the beginning. (This is the first realm)

Ten thousand years is too long to seize the day. (This is the second realm)

When the flowers bloom, "I" laugh in the bushes. (This is the ultimate goal)

Three months of formal recitation, basically 10- 12 hours a day, is both painful and happy for me. Pain, because I am too tired, sometimes I feel sick when I see a "new concept"; Happy, watching yourself recite these articles day by day, that kind of happy mood is self-evident. Maybe this is called "pain and happiness". In this "pain and happiness", I also experienced several processes:

1, holding a book since I was a child, walking in my hut with my head down. I did the same thing when I recited "New Concept". As a result, I was exhausted and inefficient at the end of the day, and this method was quickly eliminated.

I found that the efficiency of reciting in my own bed has been greatly improved, so at the end of the day, I feel quite relaxed except that my voice is a little tired. That's it. I am at 4 o'clock. I finished reciting the third book on the 30th. Think about the 60 lessons in the third book. I spent more than a month (oh, my recitation was in March 2003. It will be done on the 20th, so there are only 48 lessons in Book Four. It is estimated that it should be no problem to get it done in one month. But the truth is beyond my expectation.

On March 5 1 day, I officially began to recite Book 4. When I recited lesson 10 (Silicon vallay), my throat was unbearable. I coughed badly as soon as I recited it, and I was forced to stop reciting for five days. Later, I couldn't hear the back of my voice (that is, the silent back). As a result, a miracle happened. I stopped coughing and my efficiency doubled. Perhaps "memorizing" is the habit of many people, but it is not easy for me to change the habit of memorizing since I was a child. ) at this point, there may be nothing to talk about. However, when I was about to finish the fourth book (what every writer wants by reciting Lesson 39), I encountered a great difficulty, that is, "noise". Because my family lives in (Tianjin people call it) "a complex". When summer comes, everyone comes out to enjoy the cool. This noise of life has become my biggest enemy. The speed of reciting was forced to slow down. In this way, the fourth book was originally scheduled to be won at 6. 10 at the latest, and the result was not completed until 6.2 1.

So for me (I dare not say whether it is applicable to others), the fastest way to recite is: 1, sit in a place 2, recite 3, and try to find a place with low noise.

Part three: the present perfect tense (feeling after reciting)

The 30-year bestseller of New Concept English shows that it is really a good book.

1, most of the articles in the third volume will make you think this article is really interesting, and this story is very interesting. The article in the third volume can be said that the author made this article look like a masterpiece. If you can memorize the first 40 articles in three volumes, your writing ability will definitely be greatly improved. If you say that I have memorized the first 40 articles in three volumes, I still can't write a composition. That's either your problem, my problem or a new concept problem.
