4a. 🎧 Listen and read the article Bob has recommended to San-dra. What is the main idea of the article?

Some people are shy to speak a new language with others. This shyness is mostly associated with the fear that “I will make mistakes.” Students and teachers often focus on mistakes. They worry about mistakes. They correct mistakes. They feel nervous about mistakes. They try to speak perfectly. No one, however, is perfect. Native speakers make mistakes all the time. Instead of focusing on the negative – focus on communication. Taking lessons is always important, but equally important are these pieces of advice:

1. Read, listen, watch. Try to find topics that INTEREST you. Read online newspapers (The Times, The Guardian, The Independent ...), keep listening to Internet radio stations like the BBC, watch TV shows in English, etc.

2. Write, communicate. Try to find discussion forums from the web about things that you find interesting and FUN (music, various artists, hobbies, etc.) and start communicating there with other people using only English. Please do NOT be afraid of making mistakes. The more you enjoy communicating, the better!

3. If you are shy to speak English with other people, say the following words before the mirror: “I don’t worry about making mistakes when I speak English. I am making an effort to improve my English. People like me as a person. People speak with me because of my good personal qualities. They don’t mind if I make mistakes at times because English is not my mother tongue. I make mistakes only to learn from my mistakes.”

The key thing in this is not to be afraid to make mistakes. The only mistake is not opening your mouth.

Перевод:

Статья дает изучающим английский язык следующие советы:

1. Читайте, слушайте и смотрите. Старайтесь находить темы, которые вас интересуют, например, читайте онлайн-газеты, слушайте интернет-радиостанции или смотрите телешоу на английском языке.

2. Пишите и общайтесь. Находите дискуссионные форумы на темы, которые вы считаете интересными и увлекательными, и начинайте общаться с другими людьми, используя только английский язык. Не бойтесь делать ошибки.

3. Если вы стесняетесь говорить по-английски с другими людьми, произнесите перед зеркалом следующие слова: «Я не беспокоюсь о том, что делаю ошибки, когда говорю по-английски. Я прилагаю усилия, чтобы улучшить свой английский. Я нравлюсь людям как личность. Люди говорят со мной из-за моих хороших личных качеств. Они не против, если я иногда делаю ошибки, потому что английский — не мой родной язык. Я делаю ошибки только для того, чтобы учиться на них».
