There are a total of 30 mini stories in the Power English stage, and a mini story generally has three to four small audios, including: Main Text (the main idea), Mini Story (mini story), Vocabulary (vocabulary), the last one Haven't touched it yet, to be added. Among them, the main text will introduce the key ideas of this story and some learning methods. It is recommended that beginners understand the meaning first. This will be the focus of our second stage. Mini Story is our key learning content at this stage. It is a must-read for you every day, and it is also the first friend you know so well that you can say it with your eyes closed. Vocabulary is an English-to-English explanation of the difficult vocabulary in Mini Story. By learning it, you can become a social expert even if your vocabulary is not rich. Let's talk about the specific learning process of Mini Story.
1. Follow along
At the beginning of this stage, strictly speaking, it is a process of lip- synching . At the beginning, you will stutter when you speak, so don’t have too much psychological shadow on yourself and those who are not fluent in reading. The process of learning to speak. Of course, I also want to tell you the best news here. After going through this stage, you can really enter the "opening" stage . For the various benefits that this stage can bring you, please read "Search for Meaning "Article (to be written).
At the beginning of a material, it is recommended to listen to Main Text, Mini Story, and Vocabulary (all abbreviated as M, S, V, which is more convenient) first, familiarize yourself first, and then start to follow along. I have my own model for the specific learning method. Officially speaking, it is 1M-2S-1V-1M-1S-1V-SSS . S and V are actually a complementary process, so you can control it according to your own situation. If you have listened to the words in S many times and still can’t understand them, it is recommended to check them from the perspective of pictures and images rather than the direction of Chinese translation.
Officially speaking, it is 0.01 times slower than the original audio to shout it loudly, passionately, passionately, quickly and emotionally! Shout it ! (This is a process of continuous growth, from normal speed, to 1.5 times speed, to 2 times speed, you will become faster and more fluent) Invest in it and find the feeling that everyone is drunk and I am alone, you is the best!
2. Questions and Answers
After reading it for a few days, I suddenly feel that the speed has increased to 1.5 times or 2 times, and the plot is not familiar anymore. What should I do next, a new task is coming. Question-and-answer format is opened ---In a group of three people, we will start a question-and-answer session on the plot we know, starting from the simplest question, and present the whole story plot by asking questions and short answers. Of course, you can't make a fat man by eating one bite. Therefore, at the beginning, we may always know what questions to ask, but we can't say them. It's very simple. First, use one or two words like What and When to replace your questions, and then Then refine your questions by becoming more familiar with the material, and within a few days, a fluent and complete retelling will appear in your mouth.
Here are a few skills that need to be taught: one is how to ask questions , which already has a pattern, and you can apply it. 5W1H+2 ( What, Who, When, Where, Why, How, copula, auxiliary). There is also a way of answering , which is the louder , simpler and more interesting . How can it be considered interesting? Add some body movements and do some small movements in the storyline to increase familiarity and fun~
Let's talk about the specific implementation . First of all, when you are reading, you can start a question-and-answer exchange with Teacher AJ. Before Teacher AJ answers, you should shout out the answer, and before Teacher AJ asks questions, ask questions first. There is also a group team . Everyone takes turns to try to be an answerer or a questioner, and two people can ask and one person answer, and try to exercise themselves from different angles.
3. Retelling
怎样算是复述呢，就是将这个故事完整的复述出来。从最开始5分钟为大家简单的讲述故事的发展情节，到最后可以完整的复述出来，相信你自己，绝对木有问题。当然，在这其中我们也可以采用各种方式来施展。首先是一个最基础的画图，这个给我的感觉就同画思维导图类似，将重要的故事节点呈现出来（人、地点、事件），在跟读的环节也建议使用，这样挺利于我们对故事建立全局管的。其次可以是表演的形式，三个人可以两个人来扮演角色，一个人来表述，对于表述人的要求是复述要有一定的完整性，而对于表演人呢，则是要肢体动作多多哟。还有一种方式是演讲，一个人可以脱稿或者使用PPT的形式来为大家表述出整个故事。总之，方式多多，任君选择。
四、反馈
最后的最后，也是重中之重的内容。反馈！ 每一次的跟读、每一次的Topic（问答、复述）之后，要回顾下自己哪里还不够熟悉，哪一点还比较欠缺，是故事情节了解的不够，还是问题方式没有掌握，每一次的Topic都不仅仅是Topic，之后的反馈才是我们下一次进步的关键之所在。
呐，加油吧，各位，胜利就在前方，不要大意的冲吧！
