🇬🇧 English Study Plan

📊 Current Situation Analysis

(Refer to My Language Profile for general background) Core Issue: Good vocabulary/grammar, but systematic "Real English Input + Output" is lacking. Goal: Comprehensive improvement, with a specific focus on Speaking and Listening.

1) Listening: "Comprehensible Input + Intensive Listening & Retelling"

Replace "question brushing" with real input.

  • Goal: Move from "hearing test points" to "hearing real speed & expression".
  • Routine (20–40 mins/session):
  • Extensive Listening (10–15 mins): Listen to the entire material (e.g., an 18-minute podcast or video) without pausing. Train to keep up with the rhythm. (Note: Do not look up words here; focus on main ideas and guess context from the flow).
  • Intensive Listening (10 mins): From your chosen longer material, select a 1-2 minute segment that you want to deeply analyze (or use a short, dedicated audio clip). Loop this segment through the following steps:
    1. Dictation or keywords: Write down what you hear.
    2. Check against subtitles for misses and look up unknown words/expressions.
    3. Listen again & Shadow (follow reading).
  • Retelling (3–5 mins): After intensive listening to the segment, close subtitles and retell its content in your own words (focus on complete expression, not perfection).
  • Materials:
  • Beginner: VOA Learning English / BBC Learning English.
  • Advanced: NPR, The Daily, TED.

2) Speaking: "Output Frequency" > "Pronunciation Class"

Weekdays: Internalize. Weekends: Vocalize.

  • Weekday Strategy (Silent):
  • Internal Monologue: Think in English. Narrate your coding logic or daily tasks silently.
  • Non-Verbal Recall: When you hear a phrase, pause and mentally repeat it.
  • Weekend Strategy (Active Output):
  • Shadowing (10-15 mins): Mimic native audio intonation.
  • Improvisation (10-15 mins): "Describe your work week / technical challenge". Record yourself.
  • Correction: Transcribe your recording, find errors, and rewrite better versions.
  • Alternatives to Partners:
  • Language Exchange (Focus on high frequency, short duration).
  • Self-recording: Weekly monologue (2 mins), compare with previous week.

3) Reading: "Theme Reading + Expression Absorption"

From "Reading for Questions" to "Reading for Logic & Expression".

  • Method (Lightweight SQ3R):
  • Scan titles/subtitles (30s).
  • Read with Questions: Can I retell the view? How does the author exemplify?
  • Summarize (3 sentences) after reading.
  • Materials:
  • News: BBC / The Economist (Hard but fast gain).
  • Science: National Geographic / Scientific American.
  • Career: Direct industry content (Best effect).

4) Writing: "Template + Feedback + Rewrite"

Improvement comes from rewriting, not just writing more.

  • Routine (2x/Week, 30 mins):
  • Write 150–250 words (Opinion/Summary/Email).
  • Get Feedback (Tools/Friends/Community).
  • Rewrite: Change 5 sentences to be more natural (Focus on sentences, not just words).
  • Types:
  • Emails (Request, Follow-up, Apology).
  • Self-intro/Resume points.
  • Article Summary + Opinion.

5) Vocabulary & Expressions: "Chunks + SRS"

Don't memorize lists. Focus on Collocations & Chunks.

  • Focus: take responsibility for..., be skeptical about..., a growing body of evidence suggests...
  • Action: Good expression → Record sentence/phrase → Anki (Spaced Repetition System).
  • Tip: Add new chunks found during the "Intensive Listening" subtitle check.
  • Volume: 10 cards/day (Consistency > Intensity).

6) 📅 Weekly Schedule (Replicable)

Weekdays (Work Mode: Input Focused)

  • Listening (Priority #1):
  • Commute/Chores: Extensive Listening (Podcasts/Tech News) - Maximize this time.
  • Dedicated Session (20 mins): Intensive Listening (Dictation/Transcription). No speaking required.
  • Reading/Writing (Priority #2):
  • Read 1 technical article or doc section.
  • Write a short summary (3-5 sentences) or journal entry.
  • Speaking: None (Silent internal monologue only).

Weekends (Deep Output Mode)

  • Speaking Sprint: 30-45 mins of dedicated Speaking (Shadowing/Improvisation).
  • Long Reading: Deep dive into complex texts.
  • Review: Go over the week's dictations and written summaries.

7) 🔑 Key Mindset: "Use English to Do Things"

  • Read professional/industry content in English.
  • Take notes in English.
  • Write short diary entries (5 sentences/day).
