如何学习语法

苗淑华

One student has an interesting question， “Sometimes when I speak English I am not sure if I speak right. I am not sure if I use right grammar. What should I do if I want to learn grammar？”

有个学生提了一个有趣的问题：“有时当我说英语时，我不确定说的是否正确。我不确定是否使用了正确的语法。如果我想学好语法，我该做些什么呢？”

There are two kinds of students. Some students study English because they want to speak. Some students study English because they want to pass2 a test. For each kind it is different.

一般有两种学生，有些学生学习英语是因为他们想学会说英语，有些学生学习英语是因为他们想通过考试。每一种学生的情况都不一样。

First， if you need English for speaking， you dont have to study grammar a lot. When you learned your native3 language， you also learned it without studying grammar. You can learn English grammar naturally by using the language. The best way to learn grammar naturally is by reading a lot. Books are written in good grammar. When you read， you will learn grammar in the context4 of the whole sentence. You can do shadowing5 as well. When you do shadowing， you practice the good grammar. You do it naturally. You dont have to remember anything. You only copy6 sentences with correct grammar.

首先，如果你需要会说英语，就不必学很多语法。当你学习母语时，也不用学语法就会了。你可以通过使用英语语言而自然而然地学会英语语法。自然学习语法最好的方法就是多读书。书里的语法都是对的，当你阅读时，会在整个句子的上下文中学到语法。你也可以做影子练习，在做影子练习的时候，也在练习对的语法。你会自然学会，不需要努力记住任何东西，只用照抄语法正确的句子。

Second， if you are one of these students who study English for passing a test， you should study specifically7 for this test. You can take the versions8 of this test from the past years and work with them.

第二，如果你是一个为了通过考试而学习英语的学生，应该专门为这次考试而学习。你可以用该测试近几年的真题来训练。

Of course， your test will be a little different， but the structure9 is the same. The versions of the test from the past years are good training materials10. Then you should go to the test only when you can pass the training materials.

当然，你的这次测试会有点不同，但结构是相同的。该测试近几年的真题都是很好的训练材料。那么，只有当你在训练材料中的成绩能够通过时，才应该去参加这个考试。
