Hello! This week on Ask a Teacher, we answer a question from Aaron Ali in Sudan about how to become a fluent speaker.
你好! 本周《名师答疑》，我们回答来自苏丹的亚伦·阿里提出的问题：如何做到口语流利。
Dear Teacher, I have been learning English since 2010, but I can't speak English fluently, even now.
亲爱的老师，我从2010年就开始学习英语了，但直到现在，我也不能流利地说英语。
Could you tell me how to get my English fluent?
你能告诉我怎样才能说一口流利的英语吗？
Thank you for writing to us, Aaron Ali.
谢谢你给我们写信，亚伦·阿里。
I’m happy to answer this question.
我很乐意回答这个问题。
To help you reach your goal, consider the following two questions:
为了帮助你达到这个目标，请考虑以下两个问题：1.
1. What is making it difficult for you to become fluent?
是什么让你很难口语流利？
2. Are you getting the input and practice with English that you need?
你是否有足够的英语输入和练习？
Input means the language you listen to and read.
输入指的是你听和读的英文。
Being fluent does not mean speaking a language without any mistakes.
口语流利并不是说讲英语的时候不出任何错误。
Instead, fluency is the ability to speak without stopping too much.
相反，流利是指说话时不停顿太多的能力。
It is also the ability to speak about a large number of issues.
也是指能谈论很多问题的能力。
Try to identify what is preventing you from being fluent.
请试着找出是什么让你无法流利地说英语。
Maybe you worry about making grammar mistakes.
也许是你担心会犯语法错误。
Maybe pronunciation problems slow you down.
也许是发音问题让你语速慢下来。
Perhaps you simply might not know enough words.
也许只是你词汇量不够大。
Or, you might need more confidence, or belief in yourself.
或者，你可能需要更多的自信，也就是相信自己。
People generally need two things to become fluent.
人们通常需要两样东西才能变得流利。
The first thing they need is to know a lot of words and expressions.
首先需要的是知道很多单词和短语。
You should listen to and read English that you can mostly understand but that also helps you learn a few new expressions at a time.
你应该听和读那种你能大部分理解，但同时也能帮助你学习一些新的表达方式的英语材料。
Remember, you can be fluent even if you make many grammar mistakes.
请记住，就算你犯了很多语法错误，你也可以很流利地说英语。
But you cannot speak fluently if you do not know enough words and expressions.
但是如果你不知道足够多的单词和短语，你就不能流利地说。
The second thing learners need is a lot of practice speaking in different kinds of situations.
学习者需要的第二件事是在不同的情境下进行大量的口语练习。
Try to find an English-speaking partner and practice often.
请试着找一个会说英语的伙伴，并经常练习。
Online sites can help you find a language partner.
在线网站可以帮助你找到语言伙伴。
You can have a conversation with this person over a mobile phone or computer.
你可以通过手机或电脑与伙伴进行对话。
Practice speaking about particular topics.
可以练习谈论特定的话题。
For example, if you are interested in health and exercise, learn the words and expressions connected to that topic.
例如，如果你对健康和锻炼感兴趣，那么就学习与这个话题相关的单词和短语。
Next, try to write about it.
下一步是试着把相关内容写下来。
Writing can help you organize your ideas and remember vocabulary.
写作可以帮助你组织想法并记住词汇。
Last, practice speaking about the topic, using the special vocabulary you have learned.
最后，练习用你学过的特殊词汇谈论这个话题。
Storytelling is another way to practice.
讲故事也是一种练习方式。
It helps you learn expressions and grammatical forms.
能够帮助你学习表达和语法形式。（注：语法形式包括各种词性、时态、语法成分等。）
Tell a story many times.
请把一个故事讲很多次。
That will help you feel what it is like to speak fluently.
这将帮助你感受到流利地说话是什么感觉。
Reading out loud is another way to practice.
大声朗读也是一种练习方式。
And that’s Ask a Teacher.
以上就是《名师答疑》。
