Many of my intermediate and advanced students feel that they still lack confidence when it comes to spoken English mainly because they don`t feel that they speak very fast or very fluently.
我的许多中年级的学生都有这种感觉，就是他们仍然对开口说英语缺乏信心。主要是因为他们觉得所得不快或者不流利。
So today I`m going to give eight tips to help you to think in English, and stop translating in your head and this in turn will help you to improve your spoken English speed and fluency。
所以今天我有8个有助于你英语思考的建议，停止你脑海中的翻译，而这反过来，将有助于你提高英语口语的速度和流利程度。
And hopefully your overall confidence when speaking English and we`re starting right now.
以及你整个人说英语时的自信度。我们开始吧。
The first thing you should do is to start naming objects in your environment in your target language not your native language. So as you go about your day when you see something then rather than thinking ah a hairbrush, a dog, a bus ,an old lady, instead you should think of the world in your target language.
首先你要做的是，开始用目标语而非母语说出周围事物的名字，所以当你每天看到一些东西的时候，然后与其想着，梳子，狗，公交车，老太太，相反，你应该用目标语来想这个词。
If it was Spanish you might say ah Cepill para el pelo, if that`s the right world in Spanish, you might even go a step further, and have a whole sentence, where is my hairbrush? by doing this , you will make the vocabulary come second nature, without having to think about the translation.
如果目标语是西班牙语，你可能会说Cepill para el pelo，如果这个词在西班牙语中是正确的，你甚至可以进一步说一整句话，我的梳子在哪？这样做，你会让这些词汇成为习惯，不用考虑翻译。
Tip number two when you`re having an English conversation with a native with a teacher or with a student, and try to keep the conversation going, and don`t stop just because you can`t think of the world that you want to use, instead try to work around the word, by finding an alternative word or by finding a way to describe the object that you want to name.
第二个建议，当你在和当地人，老师或者学生，进行英语对话交流时，试着让对话持续下去，不要因为想不出你说的词而停下来，相反，试着围绕这个词，通过找到一个替代词或者找到一种方式，来描述你想说的东西。
And then perhaps your partner can help you to find the right world, this helps you to exercise confidence in your conversation. And it will also help you to bring up more vocabulary, as you work around that one missing word.
也许你的伙伴能帮你找到合适的词，这有助于你在谈话中锻炼自信，它也会帮助你掌握更多的词汇，当你围绕这个漏掉的词语思考时。
Asking your teacher to only speak in the target language, so this tip is to force yourself into situations, where you cannot use your native language .
要求你的老师只讲目标语，所以这条建议是强迫你自己进入不能说母语的环境中。
It`s very easy to drop out of using the target language, and just ask a question in your native language, I know because I`m currently learning German, and I always drop out to speak English in order to find out how or what I`m supposed to say or what I`m supposed to do in a class.
放弃使用目标语很容易，比如，用你的母语问一个问题，我知道，因为我正在学习德语，我总是串到说英语上，为了知道我该怎么说或者说什么，或者我在课堂上应该做些什么？
But if you are forced to use only the target language,then you`ll be surprised how effective that can be at accelerating your learning, so if you`re taking lessons ask the teacher to only speak in the target language, if you`re practicing with a language buddy a language partner then ask them to for the next half an hour.
但如果你被迫只是用目标语，你会惊讶的发现，着将加速你学习的速度，所以如果你在课堂上，让老师只讲目标语，如果你和学习语言的伙伴一起练习，让他们再坚持半个小时。
Let`s only speak in the target language or perhaps get used to speaking to yourself, you might feel a little strange doing this, but actually once you get used to it, it can be another effective way of learning language , by speaking to yourself you are talking out loud.
大家只说目标语，或者你可以自言自语，你可能觉得这样有点奇怪，但是一旦你习惯了，它将是你另外一个学习语言有效的办法。自言自语就是大声对自己说话。
But then you`re also getting used to asking questions, and responding all at the same time, perhaps don`t do it when you`re near other people though, because they might think you`re a little bit crazy.
那时你也会开始习惯问问题，并作出回答，不过，当你和其他人一起的时候，不要这样做，因为他们可能觉得你有点神经质。
If you do struggle with talking to yourself, then a few ideas would be to narrate what you`re doing , so if you are cleaning the house, you might start narrating your activities, therefore you`ll have to pull on your bank of verbs cleaning verbs, particularly hoovering，washing，tidying，folding，putting away, another thing you can do is keep a diary, and at the end of the day talk out loud as if you were telling somebody what you have done today, of course this will really pull on using the past tense which is excellent.
如果你真的在与自言自语做斗争，然后有一些想法的话，你可以说说你在做什么？如果你在打扫房间，你可以说说你的打扫活动，因此，你将使用到你懂动词库里的关于清洁的词。例如，吸尘，清洗，整理，折叠，收好，你可以做的另外一件事是写日记，在一天结束的时候大声说出来，就好象你在告诉别人你今天做了什么一样。当然，使用过去时也很有用。
And then once you`ve said it out loud, perhaps and write it down and look at your sentence structure, your grammar your vocabulary, perhaps ask someone if they can check it all over for you , to see if you`ve made any mistakes.
一旦你大声说出来，也许你可以把它写下来，看看你的句子结构，你的语法和词汇，可以问问别人是否帮你检查一下，看看你是否犯了什么错误。
The next tip is also related to what I`ve just said, and it`s speak out loud often, the way to improve your speaking speed is to practice speaking , practice pronouncing and putting together lots of words.
下一个建议也与我刚才说的有关，经常大声的说出来，提高你的英语语速的方法就是练习口语，说大量的单词和词组。
One of the things that really does slow students down is remembering how a word sounds, or trying to remember the correct pronunciation , or grammatical order sentence structure, and so by speaking out loud often.
真正让学生慢下来的事情之一是，记住一个单词的发音，或者试着记住正确的发音，或语法的顺序，句子结构，因此要经常大声的说出来。
It will help you to become more familiar with how things sound, but also to make your muscles more familiar with rounding and sounding, all of those words .
它将有助于你更加熟悉词语的发音，还能让你的肌肉更熟悉圆唇音的发音。还有很多其他单词。
So one thing you can do it to read out loud, take a publication in English, perhaps a newspaper or a magazine and read it , go online and find an online article or a blog and read it out loud, by doing this regularly you`re really getting into the habit of speaking .
所以你可以做一些事就是大声朗读，以英文出版物为例，可以读一些报纸或者杂志，上网找一篇在线文章或者博客大声朗读出来，经常这样做，你真的会养成说话的习惯。
The next tip is to get a dictionary, now not an ordinary dictionary, which translates from the target language into your native language, we can access there types of dictionaries on our phones and on the computers, but actually they don`t really help as a learner`s dictionary.
下一个建议，有一本字典，现在说的不是一本普通的字典，把目标语翻译成你的母语，我们可以在手机和电脑上找到这样的字典，但实际上他们并没有学习型字典那么好用。
A learner`s dictionary is specifically aimed at helping you, to improve your overall knowledge of a language, and give you a more simplified and well-rounded understanding of words and phrases.
学习型字典的目的就是帮助你，提高你对一门语言的整体知识。让你对单词和短语有一个更简单和全面的理解。
The learner`s dictionary I recommend for British English, is the Cambridge learner`s dictionary, I will put a link to that one and a few others down in the description box below. If you are interested in finding out more。
我推荐的樱花死英语学习词典，也就是剑桥英语学习词典，我将在下面的描述中贴上这个和其他的一些链接，有兴趣的可以点击了解更多。
so the next tip is to get involved in an English activity every day. This might be watching a movie having a conversation, it might be doing a class, but make sure you incorporate something English into your every single day, by doing this you`ll keep it in your mind, and who doesn`t enjoy watching an English movie？
下一个建议就是每天参加英语活动，可以是看部电影，聊聊天，再可能就是上英语课，但是你要确保你每天都在学习英语，这样做，你就会把它记在心理，谁不喜欢看英语电影呢？
But that brings me on to my next tip , no subtitles, once you`re at an intermediate or advanced level, you no longer need subtitles, and in fact they`re probably holding you back, because you will automatically draw your eyes down to the subtitles, you`re missing all the body language. Missing all the context and actually you`ll then just looking at in your native language and hearing the target language rather than really absorbing the target language.
接下来就引出我的下一条建议，没有字幕，一旦你达到中级或者高级水平，你不再需要字幕。事实上，他们可能会阻碍你，因为你的眼睛会自动看向字幕，你漏掉理科多有的肢体语言，忽略了多有的上下文，实际上你只需要用你的母语去看，并听目标语而不是掌握目标语。
And thinking about what`s being said, so get rid of the subtitles, if you really struggle without them , at least watch it once without them, see what you can pick up then go back and put in the subtitles.
想一下他们在说什么，所以去掉字幕吧，如果没有他们你真的会很痛苦，至少去掉一次，看看你能听懂什么，然后再把字幕放进去。
But I would implore you to try without subtitles from now on, no more subtitles.
但是我恳求你从现在开始不要字幕，不要再看字幕啦！
And last but by no means least is to practice common question and responses, there are certain questions and responses that we say every day, and a number of times, and if you can get these questions and responses to be automatic, and it`s going to help the flow of your conversation, and it`s going to help your confidence.
最后一个是练习常见的问题和回答，我们每天都会问和回答一些特定的问题，很多次，如果你能让问问题和回答变得自如，这会帮助你交流顺畅，并且还会帮合租你树立信心。
So for example, hi how are you , I`m really good thank you , or I`m not doing so good, what are you doing what are you doing later? I`m busy at the moments, I`m going to work ,I`m going to school, how about you ? what else could you ask, you could ask what`s your name how old are you ah, I am Anna and I am 21 years old I am, you could ask what are you having for dinner, or what time are you getting hoe from work, what`s your EAT?
举个例子，嗨，你好吗？我很好，谢谢，或者我做的不太好。你在做什么，你稍后要做什么？我现在很忙，我要去工作，我要去上学，你呢？你还能问什么？你可以问，你叫什么名字，你多大了。我叫安娜，我21岁了，你可以问，你晚餐吃什么？或者你什么时候下班回家，你几点到？
So go through your day , and think about which questions and responses, are very common on your day-to -day conversations, make a note of them translate them , and then start practicing firing them off , so when you come to have a generic normal common conversation with somebody, they`ll think wow what a confident English speaker you are.
所以过每一天，想想哪些问题和回答，在你日常对中很常见，做下笔记，翻译一下，然后开始练习，爆发你的小宇宙，所以当你和某人进行正常普通对话时，他们会认为你是一个说英语很自信的人。
So there you go , I hope you found that helpful, if you have any additional advice, for students who are struggling to think in English, or any target language, and I`m really translating everything in their heads, if you could help them with that, something I haven`t mentioned please do put it in the comment section below。
