How can we practice our spoken English?

The first and the most 【1】 thing is to believe yourself. You should always be full of confidence, or you will never be able to improve your spoken English. You should often encourage 【2】,”Come on, don’t be afraid.”

You should never lose heart and never 【3】 up.

Maybe you are afraid of 【4】 face, but you should think since we are students and we are learning, there is no need to worry about 【5】. You must always be active in practice. There is no doubt that your pronunciation and intonation（语调）can’t be as good as the native people because we are 【6】 , and we don’t have chances to live in foreign countries and talk with the people there. But you must know that the main aim to study English is to make ourselves understood and 【7】 other people. You should believe that native speaker will not laugh at you.

【8】, they will encourage you. So if you are brave 【9】, you will certainly make rapid progress in your spoken English.

Don't be shy or afraid! Just have 【10】 try.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】 important

【2】 yourself

【3】 give up

【4】 losing

【5】 anything

【6】 Chinese

【7】 understand

【8】 Instead

【9】 enough

【10】 a

【解析】

【1】分析语境可知此处意为“最重要的是”，所以用important。

【2】由believe yourself，以及段落大意，可知，此处意为“要经常鼓励你自己”，所以使用反身代词yourself。

【3】根据句子的前半部分never lose heart，可知所填内容应该使用lose heart在意义上相似的词或短语，give up符合语境。

【4】“be afraid doing”意为“害怕做……”，“lose face”意为“丢脸”。

【5】由句子中的no判断使用anything，即“没有必要担心任何事”。

【6】分析语境可知，我们不可能可当地人讲的一样好，因为我们是中国人，即Chinese。

【7】句意：学习英语的主要目的是让自己被别人理解以及理解别人。“理解”understand，由make sb. do确定使用动词原形。

【8】根据laugh at you和encourage you可知前后位转折关系，根据提示词，可知此处用instead。

【9】句意：如果你足够勇敢……。根据提示词用enough。

【10】“试一试”为have a try，为固定短语。
