1. Forget grammar!

　　1.忘记语法!

　　That’s right. This may seem strange to you, but it is very important.

　　没错，听起来很奇怪，但非常重要!

　　If you are preparing for an examination, then you should study grammar. However, if you want to become fluent in English conversation , then you should try to learn English without thinking about grammar too much.

　　如果你正在准备考试，那么你应该学习语法。但是，如果你想流利地用英语对话，那么你应该尝试剔除语法对你的干扰。

　　The reason why I say this is that to become fluent, you need to be able to speak without pausing to think of the correct words and sentence construction.

　　之所以这么说，是因为要想流利地讲英语，你必须能够不停顿地说出正确的单词和句子结构。

　　If you are constantly trying to translate what you want to say from your own language into English, whilst thinking about all the grammar rules you’re supposed to be using, you’ll most likely become bogged down, hesitant and fail in your fluency goal.

　　如果你一直在试着把你想说的话按照你自己的语言翻译成英语，同时考虑所使用的所有语法规则，你很可能会陷入困境，犹豫不决，那么就不可能流利地讲出英语。

　　2. Learn natural phrases or ‘chunks’ you can adapt for any situation!

　　2.学习短语或“词汇块”，你可以适应任何情况!

　　What you need to do is to learn and study phrases instead of trying to speak in sentences.

　　你需要学习和研究短语，而不是试图用句子来表达。

　　You may be familiar with a large range of vocabulary, but are probably not able to create fluid conversation (natural flowing speech). This could be because you fail to recognise the differences between spoken and written English, one of which is that when speaking, people use phrases instead of sentences.

　　你可能熟悉大量词汇，但可能无法进行流畅的对话(自然流畅的语言)。这可能是因为你没有意识到口语和书面语之间的区别，原因之一在于，人们在说话时用短语而不是用句子表达。

　　These include collocations (words that commonly go together) such as ‘rich and famous, denselypopulated, keep a secret, break a promise or take a seat‘; phrasal verbs such as ‘get up, log on, run out of’; idioms like ‘part and parcel, make ends meet’, and social formulas such as ‘see you later, have a nice day’ and so on.

　　这些词汇包括词的搭配(通常连在一起的词汇)如“rich and famous(富裕而著名)，densely populated(人口稠密)，keep a secret(保守秘密)，break a promise(违背诺言)或take a seat(坐下)”;动词短语如“get up(起床)，log on(登录)，run out of(用完);成语“part and parcel(不可缺少的一部分)，make ends meet(入不敷出)，社会俗语如“see you later(再见)”，“have a nice day(祝你有美好的一天)”等等。
