A monologue
If you have no interest in poetry, another great option for memorization might be a famous monologue. And it doesn’t even have to be that famous! It can be a courtroom speech given by a character in your favorite legal drama like Suits or The Good Wife. It can be something funny a character in The Office said in an on-camera interview. It should be anything that’s going to entertain you and help you loosen up. And if you have no idea where to find a short monologue, I suggest that you make a list of your favorite English t.v. series, and think of some memorable moments. If you can, find a clip of it on YouTube, like the one below: The nice thing about YouTube is that you can access the transcript for the video if you click on those three dots next to the “Save” button. You’ll see an option that says “Open transcript,” and you’ll be able to read the monologue there so that you can memorize it as part of your English speaking practice. As you learn the monologue, challenge yourself to imitate the speaker as much as you can: pay attention to their intonation, their accent, and what words they stress. This method is called “shadowing” and it’s one of the best ways to improve your pronunciation and speaking in English.

Or send them a video of your monologue. If they love you, they’ll enjoy it. 2. Play English games with a group–or by yourself English teachers try to keep a large arsenal of English games that they can play with their students in a class. And this is not just for children, but for adult learners as well. Because we all enjoy games, and they can help us learn. English games help to create an educational environment that’s positive and relaxed, and when your brain associates English learning with fun, you retain new grammar points and vocabulary even better. But anyone can play these games, not just people in classrooms! Here are some ideas you should try: Dictation games Dictation is when you speak something to someone so that it can be written down or typed. For example, if you’ve ever used your voice to write a text, you’ve used dictation. Watch the video below for a couple of examples of dictation games that are suggested for the English classroom, but you can also play them with your friends. You just need to find an English text that’s appropriate for your level. This video talks about a game called “running dictation” and “shouting dictation.” Speaking games Speaking games that you can find in the store–or create on your own!–are great for people who want to practice in or out of the classroom. In the popular game Taboo, for example, players create teams, and you have to get the other players on your team to guess the word on your card without saying the word. A conversation card game like We're Not Really Strangers requires players to ask questions based on how we view people and what we may not know about them or ourselves. There are questions like “Do you think I’ve ever had my heart broken?” and “What’s the last thing you lied to your mom about?” At the end of the game, players write each other a hand-written note, but they’re not allowed to open it until later. Or there’s The Hygge Game, which was created for “cozy conversation.” Hygge is a Danish word that’s used to describe that feeling of coziness, comfort, and warmth that you feel with family and friends, especially during the cold months of winter. So this game is designed to create fun conversation with questions like “What would be the title of your biography?” Download 246.3 Kb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
