聽歌學英文
(9-13-14) 有人曾說過,聽英語歌曲也可以幫助學英文。來美已經20多年了,可英文的水平還 是很差。記得剛剛來的時候,周末到商場買菜,就連問價錢的簡單英文都不會。這使自己很著急也很生氣。所以在打工的時候,白天去上班,晚上就去夜校補習英 文。可是在工作了一天之後,到了晚上學習的效果並不好。所以在聽課的時候經常會打盹。這樣一來, 聽課的效果就不很差。沒辦法隻好去利用周末的時間去複習和寫作業。
後 來去社區大學去學習,記得當時有一個年齡很大的老師給我們上課時,曾經教唱過一首英文歌曲。名字叫“My way"...當時自己並沒有認真的學唱那首歌曲,心裏想的時如何抓緊時間複習考試的內容。所以對於那首歌隻記住了幾句歌詞。光陰似箭,在幾年的時間裏, 一邊打工一邊學習,周末去圖書館複習。查單詞,背複習題,忙得簡直就象腳打後腦勺。還好經過了幾年的努力後,終於畢業了 。可是在學
習期間,花了很多的時間學專業知識,所以英文的水平還是很差。在工作的時候,我的老板對我的影響很大,她不但知道餐飲方麵的知識,而且對花卉的名字也很清楚。還有她知道不少英文歌曲。所以自己就會在閑暇之時,也會聽點英文歌曲。
有 一次去一個小商店買東西時,發現了一個兒童歌曲的CD,自己就買了回來。聽了幾遍後,覺得很好。(很遺憾的是,即沒有記住歌詞,也不會唱那些歌。)因為英 文歌曲並不那麽容易學。後來在一個人總結學習英文的體會裏,她說到大量的讀書會幫助提高學英文,還有看電視聽廣播也是學英文的一個良好途徑。此外聽英文歌 曲也會有幫助。。。
“My Way" And now, the end is here
And so I face the final curtain
My friend, I'll say it clear
I'll state my case, of which I'm certain
I've lived a life that's full
I traveled each and ev'ry highway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way
Regrets, I've had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do and saw it through without exemption
I planned each charted course, each careful step along the byway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all, when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all and I stood tall and did it my way
I've loved, I've laughed and cried
I've had my fill, my share of losing
And now, as tears subside, I find it all so amusing
To think I did all that
And may I say, not in a shy way,
"Oh, no, oh, no, not me, I did it my way"
For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught
To say the things he truly feels and not the words of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blows and did it my way!
