Hello I"m Emma from mmmEnglish! If becoming a fluent English speaker is part of your plan and you want to make it happen next year in 2020, then you need to keep watching this video.
大家好，我是 Emma，欢迎来到美味英语频道！如果说一口流利的英语是你2020年计划中的一部分，你想在这接下来的这一年完成这个计划的话，那么你需要继续看下去咯。
I"ll be sharing four things that you need to do in the coming year if you"re planning to become fluent in English within twelve months.
And it starts today right now and I"m going to warn you that there"s going to be some tough love happening here some strong words.
我会分享如果你想要在十二个月的时间内说一口流利的英语，在接下来的这一年需要做的事情。就从今天开始，我要先警告大家一下哦，接下来我非常严厉，会夹杂着一些语气很重的话。
Perhaps ones that you don"t really want to hear or ones that you"ve been pretending that you can"t hear for a while but these are words that you need to hear.
If you"re going to make English fluency your goal for the year ahead, you need to change the way that you"re acting.
也许会有你们不想听到的，或者是暂时假装听不到的话，但是这些话你们需要听。如果你们明年的目标是说一口流利的英语的话，你需要改变行动方式。
You need to change your behaviour, do something differently and that"s what we"re talking about today. . . . . . .
你需要改变自己的行为，以不同的方式处理一些事情，那就是我们今天所要讨论的事情。
This lesson is sponsored by The Ladies" Project, a unique online community for women learning English as a second language.
We help women to transform their relationship to English, to become more comfortable, more courageous English speakers.

If you"ve been telling yourself that the only way to become fluent in English is to live in an English-speaking country, well, you just need to stop that. It"s not true.
It"s simply something that you"ve been telling yourself to make an excuse for why you"re not already fluent.
如果你们一直在告诉自己说一口流利的英语的唯一方式是生活在说英语的国家，那么你们需要停止这么想。并不是这样的。这只不过是你一直在告诉自己，来为自己为什么说的还不流利找一个借口罢了。
That"s the tough love right here. Right now, it"s completely possible for you to create an English life for yourself, no matter where you are in the world and I"ll talk about that a little bit more later on.
这就是严厉的爱。现在为自己创造一个英语生活是完全可能的，不管你在世界的哪个角落，而我接下来会继续讨论这个话题。
Let"s get started on the four things that you need to do to become fluent in English within a year. Find motivation.
让我们以接下来的一年为了说一口流利的英语你需要做的四件事情开始吧。寻找到目标。
Get really, really clear on why you want to be fluent, so clear that you can actually see and feel what it"s like to be there. What are all the awesome amazing things that you"ll be able to do when you become fluent?
要非常非常明确你为什么想说一口流利的英语，明确到你能真正的看到、感受到它是什么样子的。当你能说一口流利的英语之后，你将能够做什么超级赞的事情呢？
Imagine yourself there. Feel it.
想象一下吧。感受一下。
Smell it. This is your motivation, the fuel you need to keep practising, to keep learning and keep reviewing, to keep putting yourself in situations that are outside of your comfort zone.
闻一下。这是你的目标，是你持续练习、持续学习、持续复习、持续让自己走出舒适区的动力。
I mean, let"s not kid ourselves. There are and there always will be days when you feel frustrated with English and you feel like giving up, you can"t be bothered, you just want to make a new plan, right?
我的意思是，我们不要骗自己。总会有这样的日子你会对英语感到非常沮丧，你想要放弃，你真的厌烦了，想要制定一个新的计划，对吗？
One that doesn"t involve English at all. But this is the reason why so many of us fail at things that we try or we don"t get as far as we want to because we don"t have enough fuel to get there.
一个根本没有英语的计划。但是这是为什么我们其中的很多人尝试之后会失败的原因，或者是我们没有走到想要走的那么远的原因，因为我们并没有足够的动力达成目标。
Without a really clear motivation, it"s easy to get distracted, to lose focus and to let your attention be taken away from your English practice and put onto something else and that is absolutely fine as long as you"re not bothered about being fluent by the end of the year.
If you"re happy for it to take longer, for it to be a slower process, well that"s fine but we"re talking about making this happen in the next twelve months, okay?
没有一个非常明确的目标，就很容易被干扰，很容易失去重心，让注意力从英语练习中被分散，放到其他的事情上去，当然如果你年底并不想说一口流利的英语的话，这是完全可以的。如果你很愿意多花点时间，让这个过程变慢一点，那没问题啊，但是我们讨论的是在接下来的十二个月达成目标，对吗？
So we need to take drastic action. So I want you to take this opportunity now to declare your motivation here.
所以我们需要采取强有力的行动。所以我希望大家抓住这个机会说一下自己的动力。
Tell me in the comments what is your fuel that will help you to keep your English goals as a priority throughout 2020? Tell me down in the comments.
请在评论区告诉我会帮助你让英语一直保持为2020年的头等目标的动力是什么。请在评论区告诉我吧。
The second thing you need to do is financially commit and that means putting some money on the table, putting some skin in the game.
So in my experience, money is a huge motivator for me, for my students, for my friends and family.
你们需要做的第二件事情是财务上的投入，那也就意味着要拿出点钱来。在我的经验中，钱对于我而言，对于我的学生而言，对于我的朋友和家人而言都是非常大的一个激励因素。
For some people money is the biggest motivation right? Putting your hand into your pocket or your wallet and pulling out some of the money that you worked so hard for, doing that almost instantly changes your mindset about your English practice.
对于有些人而言，钱是最大的动力，对吧？从你的口袋里面掏出点钱来，这些钱是你辛苦工作赚的，这样做几乎马上就可以改变你对英语训练的思维定势。
It certainly changed my mindset when I paid for my Spanish classes with Lingoda. I had to go because I had paid for them so I did way more practice during that period because putting money on the table forces you to commit, right?
当我为我Lingoda上面的西班牙语课程付款的时候，那完全改变了我的思维。我必须得去上课，因为我付钱了，所以我在那段时间进行了更多的练习，因为资金上的投入会强迫你认真对待，对吧？
It makes you show up. If you financially commit to your English, you will probably go much further and you will get to fluency faster.
这会督促你去上课。如果你在英语方面投入了资金的话，你可能走得会更远，也会更快变得流利起来。
Now let"s talk about this a little more because I know what some of you are thinking. Yes, there are things that you can"t afford but there are options that you can afford.
让我们多谈论一点吧，因为我知道你们其中的某些人在想什么。是的，有一些是你们没有办法负担的，但是也有一些选项是你可以负担的。
You can hire a local non-native English teacher, you can invest in an online English program that you can take yourself through at your own time, at your own pace. This is a much cheaper option than paying for a teacher"s time.
你可以聘请一个当地的非母语英文老师，你可以投资线上英语课程，在自己空闲的时间按照自己的步伐上课。这个和聘请一个老师相比可便宜多了。
You can financially commit a little or a lot and what might be a little to some, might be a lot to others. But if you do that, if you invest in yourself, it will help you to get to your goals faster.
你可以在资金方面投入一点或者是很多，对于某些人来说可能很少，但是对某些人来说已经很多了。但是如果你这么做的话，如果你为自己投资的话，这将帮助你更快地实现自己的目标。
Now if you don"t have the money now, make a plan and save for it. Sacrifice something else in your life to get ahead in your English.
如果你现在没有钱的话，那就制定计划存钱吧。牺牲生活中其他的一些事情为了英语进步而让步。
How badly do you want to become fluent? And I know the other thing that you"re thinking too.
你有多么想说一口流利的英语？我知道你们在想的另外一件事情。
Yes, you"re right. It"s possible for you to learn on your own but you will have more success and you will make more progress if you have the support and guidance of a good English teacher or a language program.
是的，你们是对的。自学当然是可能的，但是如果有很好的英语老师或者是语言项目的帮助和指导的话，你们会获得更多成功，获得更多进步。
Now if you really, really, really can"t invest any money in your English training this year, then you"ll need to compensate by investing more time and more focus in your studies.
You"ll need to create a learning plan and you"ll need to keep yourself motivated all the way throughout the whole year, you need to be active.
如果你们在今年真的真的真的没有钱投资英语训练的话，那么你们就需要通过投入更多的时间和专注到学习之中作为补偿。你们需要制定学习计划，你们需要一直让自己全年都动力满满，你们需要非常活跃。
And this is a much bigger challenge than finding some money to invest in your training. That"s my take on the situation.
这和找到钱投资英文训练相比是更大的挑战呢。这是我关于这个情况的看法。
If you want serious change and serious results in the year ahead, decide what serious action you"re going to do now and get ready for it. The third thing you should do is create a learning plan.
如果你们想要在接下来的一年有很大的改变，取得丰硕的成果的话，那就确定一下你们现在需要采取什么重要的行为，然后准备好吧。你们要做的第三件事情是制定学习计划。
Even if you"re going to regular classes or you"re meeting your tutor often, you still need to create your own learning plan to help you practise outside of your lessons. You might think this sounds boring but it doesn"t have to be.
即使你们要参加规律性的课程，或者是你们经常可以见到自己的导师，你们还是需要制定自己的学习计划，帮助你们在课堂之外进行练习。你们可能觉得这听起来很无聊，但是并不一定是这样哦。
Your formal classes are just part of your learning plan and you need to make sure that you"re developing all four language skills, right? You need to spend a little bit of time on each of those skills each week.
你们的正式课程知识学习计划的其中一部分，你们需要确保在发展全部的四个语言技能，对吧？你们每周需要花一点点时间在每个技能上面。
Like you need to read to broaden your vocabulary. Learn and experience how new words are used in context.
必须说你需要阅读来扩充词汇量。学习并体会新的单词是如何在语境中进行使用的。
Become familiar with the different use of phrasal verbs, learn common collocations and informal language by reading. You need to write.
通过阅读，熟悉动词短语的不同使用方式，学习常见的固定搭配和非正式语言。你们需要写作。
You need to practise expressing your thoughts and your ideas in a controlled way.
If you create a habit around writing in English, it will start revealing where there are gaps in your knowledge and that will allow you to build your vocabulary further.
你们需要以一种有控制的方式练习表达自己的观点和想法。如果你们养成用英语写作的习惯，这样会揭示你们的知识空缺在哪里，这将帮助你们进一步扩充词汇量。
And here"s the thing about writing, when you write your own experiences and your own opinions and ideas, it increases retention. It helps you to remember new words and expressions because you"re associating them with your own ideas and experiences.
写作是这样的，当你写作自己的经历、观点和想法的时候，这会增强记忆力。这会帮助你们记忆新的词汇和表达，因为你在将它们和你自己的想法和经历相联系。
Starting and then committing to a daily journal practice is going to do amazing things for your language skills. You need to listen to different accents, you need to study the way that native speakers link words together and they reduce sounds.
开始并持续地进行日记练习会为你们语言技能的提升带来令人惊叹的效果。你们需要听不同的口音，你们需要学习母语者连读单词和略读的方式。
Watch movies, listen to podcasts and audiobooks, all of those things. I"ve left some recommendations in the description below if you"re interested.
看电影，听播客和电子书等等方式。如果你们感兴趣的话，我在下方评论区留下了一些推荐。
But try to give yourself some of the real listening practice as well, you know, in real conversations. And of course, you need to speak as much as you can to yourself, you can read aloud to your classmates, your teacher, your online friends, your colleagues, but make sure you"re constantly pushing your comfort zone further.
但是也要给自己一些真正的听力训练，也就是在真正的对话当中。当然了，你们需要一直对自己说话，你们可以大声地对着班里同学、老师、网友、同事进行朗读，但是一定要一直让自己跳出舒适区。
Chatting on Whatsapp doesn"t count here okay? You need to create the space and the opportunity to practise your speaking skills in real conversations.
在Whatsapp聊天并不算数，好吗？你们需要创造空间和机会在真正的对话中练习口语技能。
A community like The Ladies" Project is the perfect place to get regular informal speaking practice. There are group conversations almost every day and unlimited one-to-one chats that you can have with other members.
像The Ladies" Project这种社区是进行规律性的非正式语言练习的完美之地。每天都会有小组对话，和其他的成员会有很多一对一的交流。
Lastly, you got to do it every day. You"ve got to do something every day to practise.
最后呢，你们需要每天都去做。你们需要每天都做一点事情练习。
And this is not really something that you can question okay? It"s just something that you need to do if you want to create change in your English and create it quickly.
这是毋庸置疑的，对吧？如果你们想要在英语方面创造改变，并且是尽快创造的话，那就需要这么做。
Doing fifteen minutes of practice every day is much better than doing four hours of solid English practice on a Sunday afternoon. Doing it daily allows you to build a great habit and it brings English into your life every day.
每天练习十五分钟比在周日下午进行四小时生硬的英语训练可好多了。每天都练习会让你形成习惯，让英语真正融入了你每天的生活。
Now this doesn"t mean that you need to sit down and study every day right because there"s always going to be days where you just can"t be bothered and you don"t feel like it.
What it means is you need to expose yourself to an English activity every day, listen to something in English, read something in English, watch something in English, write or speak or sing in English. Anything, right?
这并不意味着你需要每天都坐下来学习，因为总会有一些日子你感到不堪其扰，并不想学了。这意味着你需要每天都进行英语相关的活动，听听英语啊，读读英语啊，看看英语相关的东西啊，说说英语啊，唱唱英文歌啊，什么都可以，好吗？
To become fluent within a year, you need to do something daily. Now it could be simple and mundane like writing an email or writing in your daily journal but on Sundays it could be completely wild.
想要在一年中说一口流利的英语，你需要每天都这么做。可以是非常简单非常无聊的，比如说写写邮件啊，或者是写写每天的日记啊，但是在周末啊就可以随便了。
It could be exhausting, it could be like attending an international conference where you listened and network to people in English all day. But your daily practice does need to be balanced.
也可能会非常令人筋疲力竭，比如说参加国际会议，全天听别人用英文交流，用英文和别人社交。但是你们日常的练习需要平衡化。
If you"re going to make it through a whole year, it needs to be balanced. Burying yourself inside a grammar book for fifteen minutes every day for a year is not going to make you fluent.
如果你们要全年坚持下来的话，就需要平衡化。一年中每天十五分钟埋头苦读语法书并不能让你说一口流利的英语。
It"s going to make you awesome at grammar. Your learning plan really should be a combination of fun and passive English experiences with active and deliberate practice.
这会让你在语法方面精进很多。你们的学习计划应该是有意思的和被动的英语学习以及主动的刻意的练习的有机结合。
So a good example of active practice is writing. Okay you sit down and you spend some time creating sentences and expressing your own ideas.
主动练习的一个好例子就是写作。坐下来投入时间创造句子，表达自己的观点。
And maybe the following day you review your work. You use a thesaurus to upgrade some of the words that you used or maybe check some of the grammar in a little bit more detail.
可能第二天来回顾一下自己所写的内容。用同义词来升级一下你们使用的其中的一些单词，或者是更加仔细的检查一下其中的一些语法。
Now this is not as fun or as easy as watching an English movie right? But you need to do this type of practice too so you can reward yourself the next day by watching the movie, right?
这并没有看英语电影那么有趣那么简单对吧？但是你们需要这种类型的练习，这样才能在第二天奖励自己看一部电影，好吗？
This is the balance that I"m talking about. You do some grammar practice and some writing practice and then reward yourself with a podcast or a movie.
这就是我所说的平衡。进行一些语法练习，然后做点写作练习，再奖励自己听听播客或者是看看电影。
So now it"s up to you. What are you going to do to put your plan in action for 2020?
全都取决于你自己。你们在2020年要做什么将自己的计划付诸实践？
I want you to tell me about it in the comments below. I"d love you to set your intention for the year ahead because I truly, truly believe that you can do this.
我希望你们在下方评论区告诉我。我很希望大家设置好明年的目标，因为我真的相信你们可以做到的。
