While everyone was chatting, the voice of a boy whose voice was changing came from the room, stuttering and reading English. Qin Shuangshuang listened carefully and found out that he was memorizing English words.
It's just that the pronunciation is really not standard, and it's very difficult to memorize it.
I have read the word "apple" several times but still can't recite it. What elementary school students in future generations will know, but now junior high school students don't know.
There is no way, the teaching conditions are limited, there are no English classes in primary schools, only in junior high schools.
The child in the room didn't read for a while, then opened the door and came out, shouting to Guan Aizhen: "Mom! I can memorize the words."
Guan Aizhen glared at her son angrily, smiled apologetically at Qin Shuangshuang, stood up and said to her son, "It doesn't matter what you say, I have to listen to you finish reciting it."
He Zhijun's son He Wenhao reluctantly put down the book and muttered softly: "You can't understand English words, why do you have to listen to me recite them?"
"I don't care, I just want to listen, otherwise you will fool me again." Guan Aizhen forcefully pulled He Wenhao into the room, "Your teacher called me several times, saying that you didn't memorize the words."
He Wenhao entered the room speechlessly and began to stutter on memorization. Guan Aizhen threw the book in front of him angrily: "Hurry up and read it carefully. You don't know how to memorize it at all. Why did you lie to me?"
After saying that, he came out angrily and closed the door. They lived in a suite with three bedrooms and one living room, plus a bathroom and kitchen, which was much larger than where Qin Shuangshuang lived.
The sound insulation effect of the house is not very good. You can hear people talking in the room and in the living room.
He Wenhao pulled his hair and sat under the desk lamp to recite the words. He was about to collapse.
English is the subject he hates the most. He can learn mathematics, physics and chemistry effortlessly, but English is the subject that he can't learn well no matter how hard he learns.
Memorizing words every day, memorizing words every day, he was going crazy.
If possible, he would rather do more math, physics and chemistry homework than memorize English words! It's really a mouthful.
The half-dead, stammering voice reciting English words intermittently came from the room again.
About half an hour later, the door opened. He Wenhao said nothing, and Guan Aizhen stood up again.
A fierce expression that said, "If you can't recite it, I'll beat you to death."
He Wenhao shrank his neck and forced himself into the house, but his back was still a mess.
Guan Aizhen raised her hand to slap her, and Qin Shuangshuang quickly went in to pull her away. The door was open, and she could see what was going on in the room while sitting in the living room.
"Sister-in-law! Don't be impulsive and calm down. The child can't memorize words. I'll teach him a way to memorize words. I'll make sure he learns it and can memorize all words in the future."
Guan Aizhen was surprised: "Really? Have you read a book? Are you quite well educated?"
Isn't it? Didn't Lao Chen's wife in the yard say that Shen Chenming's mother-in-law was a village girl from the countryside? Is not it? In other words, it is true that Qin Shuangshuang is a village girl, but she is an educated village girl.
He Zhijun in the living room was surprised and looked at Shen Chenming: "Does your wife understand English?"
In front of the old leader, Shen Chenming did not hide anything: "My wife not only understands English, she understands several languages. I didn't ask them specifically."
"You can't tell!" He Zhijun's eyes opened twice as wide, "This is a talent, we must cherish it."
Shen Chenming smiled: "It depends on whether there is a suitable opportunity. If there is, I naturally want her to go out and shine."
"There's no rush. There is definitely a chance, but you have to wait."
He Zhijun didn't expect that Shen Chenming's daughter-in-law actually knew foreign languages. She was very popular. He would definitely recommend her if he had the chance.
"I have read a book, and my education is not high. In fact, I am self-taught." Qin Shuangshuang said modestly, "I am very interested in all kinds of languages.
Back then, an old man came to our village. He knew several languages. When I was young, I loved to learn from him when I had nothing to do. Later I learned how to not only listen and read, but also write. "
Although this explanation was far-fetched, it was the most reasonable one she could find so far. After a while, she would find an opportunity to study somewhere, and she would basically be able to get over this lie.
After hearing this, Guan Aizhen was overjoyed: "Okay, okay, then you can help me teach him. My son is good at all subjects, but English is not good."
"It doesn't matter. As long as he masters the method I taught him, memorizing words will be like playing."
"Really?" This time it was not Guan Aizhen who asked, but He Wenhao. "What method is it? I want to learn it now."
He was almost going crazy from being tortured by reciting words. He heard that there was a good method and he wanted to learn it right away.
Qin Shuangshuang picked up He Wenhao's English book, flipped through it, found the phonetic symbol list, and told him.
"Actually, your method of memorizing words is wrong. Memorizing them by rote is very ineffective. The only thing you have to remember is the letters corresponding to the phonetic symbols.
After remembering these, basically if you read a word, you can recite it and write it down. If you don’t believe me, let’s try it.
You first read the letters corresponding to the phonetic symbols carefully and try to remember them in your mind. It’s okay if you can’t remember everything for now, just remember as much as you can. "
When Guan Aizhen saw Qin Shuangshuang talking so clearly, she knew that she really knew how to do it and wasn't just pretending to fool people.
Phonetic symbols correspond to words. It seems that even the teachers in the school don’t know this method. What the teacher told her every time she called was that English was easy to learn, just reading and memorizing.
But her son couldn't carry it, so what could she do?
Don't say the teacher is anxious, she is anxious too, okay? My son's other subjects are passable, but English is the worst subject and he fails every exam.
He Wenhao read the phonetic symbols silently and remembered some, but not all.
Qin Shuangshuang told him straightforwardly: "The role of phonetic symbols in English is the same as the horizontal and vertical strokes of our Chinese characters. Is a Chinese character composed of various strokes?
As long as we read it, we can basically write it without having to remember what strokes it consists of. Among the languages in the world, our Chinese characters are actually the most difficult to learn, but English is not the most difficult. "
After saying that, she started to ask He Wenhao to read out a word. Pay attention to the phonetic symbols behind the word and what letters in the word they correspond to.
After reading and comparing all the words to be memorized tonight, He Wenhao suddenly felt like he was enlightened.
"Ah! I see. This method is really great. Auntie, I already had a preliminary impression in my mind when you said that."
Guan Aizhen on the side breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her son's face full of excitement.
Thank God! Amitabha! My son has finally found a suitable method for memorizing words. As long as his English scores can improve, the head teacher will never call her again.
"That's good. You can use this method to memorize words from now on." Qin Shuangshuang looked at He Wenhao with a smile and encouraged him, "I believe that as long as you read the words a few times, you can basically memorize them. You don't need to go out of your way to memorize them." .”
