每一个来到加拿大的移民,都希望自己可以尽快地融入到本地主流生活中去,要想达到这点,其实不是太难,但是首先一定要可以使用英文来进行沟通。! y5 ]9 X; P2 W! P
) G2 c6 m% H4 y9 Q9 w" J对于英语的修炼,有两层境界:; O; j( R" }) t4 |
2 s- @/ d! `" o
第一层境界就是Understandable English,就是说你的英文大家可以听懂,说的稍微有点口音或者说的英语很书面化都没关系,达到这一层,你日常生活工作和学习基本上不会有太大的障碍。0 M8 e$ A" o8 j
1 m6 D7 x, e& M6 B8 P* t/ L( ]* I
但是很多人到了这个境界就满足了,不再继续强化英文训练,这就不对了。我们不能固步自封,还要向下一层境界前进,那就是Native English,达到这个境界的英语使用者,可以基本使用纯正的原汁原味的英语和本地人无障碍交流,可以想象,到了这个境界的人在工作和生活中都会体验到一种无拘无束的快乐,在职场和事业上的发展都会取得比较大的成就。5 m; h4 p+ Q( K% |9 |
