Nowadays, more and more people or parents realize a Foreign language will have a decisive impact on their own or their kid's career. Hence, different training classes emerged for adults or children. It's great because at least it has proved how important to fluently speak a foreign language is. Moreover, I have to concede I missed the best time to improve my English proficiency. Once upon a time, to be more specific, around 2006, my first job as a software engineer, I had had a lot of time after getting off, but my focus only was watching movies or wandering the beautiful city Shenzhen. If I had taken good use of my time rationally, I would have changed my career path 5 years earlier. But at least, right now I'm working on my English skills, what about you?
如今，越來越多的人或父母意識到外語將對他們自己或孩子的職業生涯產生決定性的影響。因此，出現了針對成人或兒童的不同培訓課程。這很棒，因為至少它證明了流利地說一門外語是多麼重要。此外，我不得不承認我錯過了提高英語水平的最佳時機。曾幾何時，具體來說，在2006年左右，我的第一份軟體工程師工作，下班後我有很多時間，但我的重點只是看電影或在美麗的城市深圳閒逛。如果我理性地利用好我的時間，我會提前5年改變我的職業道路。但至少，現在我正在努力提高我的英語技能，你呢?
Having the capacity to master a foreign language will bring you some benefits even you yourself might ignore it. On the one hand, is your career will benefit it, that's true, you already knew that, on the other hand, is your cognitive ability will be improved significantly. According to scientific news reportedly that speaking a foreign language will decrease the possibility of Alzheimer's Disease to only 10% than others who can't speak a foreign language. Therefore, taking all of these factors into consideration, studying a foreign language will kill two birds with one stone.
擁有掌握一門外語的能力會給你帶來一些好處，即使你自己可能會忽視它。一方面，是你的事業會受益嗎，沒錯，你已經知道了，另一方面，是你的認知能力會得到顯著提高。據科學新聞報導，與不會說外語的其他人相比，說外語會使患阿爾茨海默病的可能性降低至僅 10%。所以綜合以上因素，學一門外語，一石二鳥。
But the primary problem is how? I used to listen to others said that they really enjoy watching English dramas, and their English skills improved dramatically by watching English dramas. Really? I doubt that. You got to know, so-called English ability is combined with READING, WRITING, LISTENING, AND SPEAKING. You sure you are able to speak or write only by watching videos? At least I don't think so. Are you kidding me?
但首要的問題是如何？我以前聽別人說他們真的很喜歡看英劇，而且通過看英劇，他們的英語水平有了很大的提高。真的嗎？我不信。你要知道，所謂的英語能力是與閱讀、寫作、聽力和口語相結合的。你確定你只能通過觀看視頻來說話或寫作嗎？至少我不這麼認為。你在跟我開玩笑嗎？
After I quit my job at Alipay in 2019, it took me one and half years to study, and now I don't think my English ability is strong enough, let alone you only watched English dramas. At most, you are only familiar with part of words or phrases, beyond that, no more.
2019年辭掉支付寶的工作後，花了一年半的時間學習，現在覺得自己的英文能力還不夠強，更別說只看英劇了。您最多只熟悉部分單詞或短語，除此之外，僅此而已。
Here is my recommendation for you if you'd like to improve your English skill set.
如果你想提高你的英語技能，這是我給你的建議。
First, read English sentences every day for at least 10 minutes.
首先，每天至少閱讀10分鐘的英語句子。
Second, if you were a novice, please listen to this slow video. Gradually you can choose standard videos, like documentaries or dramas.
其次，如果您是新手，請收聽這段慢速視頻。漸漸地，您可以選擇標準視頻，如紀錄片或電視劇。
Third, read English news at least over 2000 words. And you have to record those words you don't know. Words are base stones. And review recorded words every day.
三、閱讀英文新聞至少2000字以上。你必須記錄那些你不知道的單詞。單詞是基石。並每天複習記錄的單詞。
Finally, you need to speak, find opportunities to speak with native speakers.
最後，您需要講，尋找和英語母語的人直接對話。
Next chapter, I will discuss with you about how to choose English dramas.
