PART2 Thoughts
今天读到了有目的的练习第一,要敢于跳出舒适区(comfort zone),第二,要有明确的目标,第三,要有反馈。
自己遇到障碍要自己想办法解决,不是逃避问题, 也许你困惑的问题就在这个障碍里面。
书中也写到了,刻意练习其实是需要有规定的刻意练习的,并不是愉快轻松的。
自己学习了这么多年的英语,一直长进不大,其实就是自己没有坚持做好一件事,想想主要原因是我没有目标,就是为了学而随变的学。自己发音一直没有进步的原因今天感觉也找到原因了,就是没有反馈,光自己读,从来不听自己的录音,其实自己知道录音是可以很好的提高听力和口语的,就是自己的惰性太大,希望在今天可以学着改变,因为我真正的领悟到了学习的方法。
