四、六級備考三大原則(1)

i advocate this natural learning method with three basic principles.

第一、學習英語應該遵循由簡入繁、由易到難、由粗至細的原則

i. learning english should follow the principle from simple to complex, from easy to difficult, and from rough to subtle.

千里之行,始於足下。
 
學習英語切忌好高騖遠,學習的開始就挑選難、繁、細的材料進行攻堅戰,以為學習效果更好,實踐證明這是一種錯誤的態度。如果學習材料遠遠超出學習者的語言水平,這樣的挑戰就失去了樂趣,而只是讓人感到喪氣和痛苦,材料不恰當,破壞了學習者的興趣和信心,這是最糟糕的事情。

a journey of a thousand li starts beneath one's feet. we should try to avoid pursuing what's beyond our reach in english learning. if we choose and study some difficult, complex, subtle materials at the very beginning with the hope of having better effect, it's proved to be a wrong attitude by practice. if learning materials go far beyond learners' actual language level, such challenges aren't desirable and just make learners frustrated and painful. it's the worst thing that learners' interest and confidence are destroyed by unsuitable materials.

人的思維要受到精神狀態的影響,情緒飽滿和信心十足的時候,思維敏捷而且記憶輕鬆,在這樣良好的精神狀態下學習英語,就會收到事半功倍的效果。所以,學習英語應該一步一步地提高自己的水平,千萬不要抱著十天可以速成的錯誤心理。語言的學習是一個終生髮展的過程,千萬不要以為通過一段時間的刻苦努力就能完全掌握英語,要知道對語言是學無止境的。

your thinking will be affected by your mental state. you'll think quickly and memorize easily if you're in high spirit and full of confidence, then you'll get twice the result with half the effort in such a good mental state. therefore, you should improve your english step by step in your english learning without the wrong thoughts of cracking english within ten days. language learning is a lifelong developmental process, so don't think you can master english thoroughly only through a period of great effort, and you should know there's no end for language learning.
