如何提高出国留学英语水平？
现在很多准留学出国留学，却发现英语水平跟不上，生活中难以和本地人沟通，在学校里跟不上课堂，反而跑回国内的英语机构参加培训，主要就是因为英语应用水平不过关。因此，即使你考得了托福过得了雅思，但这并不意味着你能够在国外的学习与生活中畅行无阻。即使在“纯英文”的自然环境中你依旧会无所适从，如何提高出国留学英语水平？空中英语分享一些小Tips，帮助你提高英语水平。
一、多听
听力总是提高英语的最重要基石，因为你能说出的东西绝大部分来源你听到的东西。听什么?
建议：
(1)、 CNN等电视新闻，它让你获取了很多当前人民最关心的话题，比如经济危机、新总统上任、飞机失事等。美国人是十分热爱探讨实事，如果我们能刻意的去接收这样的信息，那么在课堂上，在放学回家的路上，都可以和同学老师积极的探讨此类话题。因为有时你会发现，我们不能和外国人沟通的原因不单是因为语言能力，还有是否有共同话题的问题。也就是说，如果你要刻意的提高自己的口语，那么就要刻意的寻找一些能和别人交谈的共同话题。
(2)、 其他电视节目(包括电视剧)：很多同学在国内的时候就疯狂迷恋美剧，但到了美国后竟然还在用国内的网络资源下载带有中文字母的翻译版，这无疑又浪费了学习英语的大好时机。所以我建议大家到了国外一定争取买一台电视机，不管看懂多少，都逼自己沉浸在一个完全是英语的环境里。
(3)、 听对话：在听别人讲话时一定要做有心人。我们在国内学习的英语对话充其量相当于国外的幼稚园水平，这并不是夸张，因为即使国外一个小学生的语言和词汇能力都可能大大超过国内英语成绩的佼佼者。一句简单的对话：“今天你想去市中心买东西吗?”美国人会这样说“you wanna shopping in downtown?”而没有人会说：“do you want to go to downtown for shopping?” 虽然后者的语法也是完美的。说英语大家都会，但要说好英语，不要让语言问题成为塑立良好形象的障碍，是一件不容易的事情。特别如果你打算在国外工作或者呆上很长一段时间， 刻苦琢磨纯正的用词和语法是我们每天都要努力的方向。
二、多背单词
纵使你把红宝书都背了个底朝天，当你走进国外的超市却发现大多数的商品介绍都认不全，大多数水果和蔬菜的名字都说不出。举一个例子，在经济学的课堂中，很多老师喜欢用peanut butter和jelly作为一组典型互补品研究经济学原理。但最初听到，相信绝大部分同学不知道jelly是什么意思以及和peanut butter的关系。其实它们就是花生酱和果酱的意思，美国人喜欢将两者放在一起食用，也就是买了peanut butter就一定会买jelly。再举个例子，刚到加拿大时， 曾经有外国朋友指着我家的银耳问这是什么，当时我也不
知道该怎么说，就说了一个“Chinese mushroom”，外国朋友顿时觉得很奇怪。这个小问题我留给大家，假如有外国朋友问你银耳是什么，你应该怎么回答?有人问我，要扩展词汇量应该买哪一本词汇书?我说，只有“生活”这本书，当你到了国外后，随身带上个小本子和一个电子词典，把看到的新单词都记下来，总有一天，你会发现你和外国人的交流再也不会因为什么是“Chinese mushroom”嘎然而止。
三、多说
相信不用我多说，大家都知道说是直接提高英语口语的最好办法。很多人以为到了国外说英语的机会自然很多，不需要再去刻意的寻找机会，但我所见到很多人即使来北美10年，都还是停留在“听得全，说一半”的境界。对于留学生来说练习口语的机会无外乎就是在宿舍、课堂和其他地方。之前的文章我已经谈过和外国同学合租的利与弊，我还是强烈的建议和以英语为母语国家的同学一起住，这样长期下来口语的积累是强大的。很多同学问我那和其他国家的同学一起住如何，比如韩国和日本同学等，撇开文化历史等一系列差异，我觉得对于口语的锻炼还是很好的，只是在口音方面日韩同学确实不是正面的典范。还有来自留学大国的印度同学，虽然他们的口语非常好，但是口音方面实在令人难以明白，而且生活习惯和咱们中国同学差异甚大，所以不是很推荐大家和印度同学一起合租。在课堂上，绝大部分的老师都不喜欢主动点名请同学回答问题，都是同学们自愿举手，但我认为同学们应抓住机会锻炼胆量，不要怕被人笑，好象我们在中国的课堂上如果有个老外说着很烂的中文，但大家还是会耐心听。对于这边的本国同学来讲，可以说他们从中学开始班上就会有来自各国的以英语为非母语的同学们，况且北美本来就是一个各国文化的大熔炉。在课余时间，锻炼口语的机会还有很多，比如参加社区服务、逛街，甚至赶个公共汽车司机们都乐意与你攀谈。
四、多看报纸和杂志
在出国前准备GRE时，有些老师说过GRE的单词背了就是为了考试，生活中几乎用不上。但实则主流媒体的大报纸好象New York Times和Chicago Tribune的文章词都非常正式与华丽，GRE单词也被包括了不少。如果要提高自己文书写作和阅读能力的同学建议多读这样的报纸。特别是对于很多在北美准备考GRE或GMAT的同学，你们比国内同学拥有的更多优势资源就是这些。而对于在国内准备这些考试的同学，可以将New York Times和Chicago Tribune的网页保存，这样的获益绝非一点。
总的来说，国内的英语教育和我们在出国前的努力让我们有了很好的基础，但我认为真正学习纯正英语的日子可以从出国后算起。但还是有很多同学白白的浪费了这样的大好机会，觉得好象出国就是英语学习的终点。良好英语沟通能力是不论你准备留在国内或回国发展都可以帮你大展拳脚的重要武器，何况我们不需要每天在自习室背单词书到深夜，只需要做一个有心人，多听、多看、多说、多积累。
出国留学英语水平的提高是留学新生一定要注意的事情，大家需要尽快进入国外的文化及社会氛围，找到迅速提高英语水平的好方法。

篇二：英语专业出国深造专业选择
英语专业出国深造专业选择
英语出国能读什么专业？大家还在为这样的问题而困惑、迷茫吗？在这里有几个比较适合英语专业学生申请，同时也很受欢迎的专业。
1、Translation and/or interpreting （翻译and/or 口译）
对于本科是英语专业的学生，英语水平比较高是申请此专业的一个优势。但是此类专业对英语的要求也很高。一般翻译专业都要求申请者雅思达到7分以上，有些学校还要求学生在递交材料的时候就必须有合格的语言成绩。对于口译专业，很多好的大学，比如Bath，还要面试的要求且对于中国的学生每年1月份就截止申请。因此申请此专业的童鞋要仔细阅读入学要求，提前做好申请准备。
2、TESOL or Education （TESOL或者教育专业）
TESOL（Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages），即对外英语教学。TESOL证书作为一项国际英语教师的职业资格证书，已经被国际上很多个国家的多所学校认可。选择教英语的TESOL专业也算是充分利用其专业优势，而且TESOL比翻译专业好申请，就业也比较广泛，毕业后学生可以去学校也可以去英语培训机构。
教育专业也是英语专业学生一个不错的选择，但有些学校可能要求有相关的工作经验，因此大家根据自己的实际情况和学校的入学要求选择合适的学校。
3、Business Studies （商科专业）
商科包含很多专业，英语专业学生可以申请的有：Management、international business、financial management、Human Resource Management、Marketing、hospitality management、tourism management、event management等。Management专业是商科专业中最容易申请的。
英国大学商科类专业被世界各国认可度都比较高也一直是比较受中国学生欢迎的专业，也是目前申请人数最高的专业。商科类专业背景要求低，除个别学校有背景和工作经验要求以外，此专业对所有学术背景的学生都开放申请。
很多英语专业学校想申请finance （金融专业），但是finance专业对学生专
业背景要求很严格，因此不建议大家申请。想学习finance专业的英语专业学生，建议可以申请financial management （金融管理）专业。Financial management专业设置了金融课程但是对学生专业背景要求没有金融类专业严格，因此不失为一个好的选择。
4、Media （传媒专业）
英国的传媒专业一般包括：大众传媒、传媒管理、跨文化交流等等。传媒专业类似于商科，对学生专业背景没有要求，因此英语专业学生可以申请英国大学的传媒专业，并能够顺利毕业。但是值得注意的是传媒类专业对语言要求普遍都很高，因此同学们需要在语言方面多下工夫才是。
5、Linguistics or literature （语言学或者文学）
英语专业学生也可以申请英国大学语言学或者文学专业。不过，由于这类专业涉及了很多深层次的英语知识和英国文化，因此建议大家要慎重选择这个专业。

To whom it may Concern,
I am writing this letter to attest to Paul’s skills in language and public relations. In the four years I have known him, I have been consistently impressed with his ability not only to negotiate complex ideas in other languages, but also to relate these things in a personable, conscientious fashion. His manner in these cases is both professional and personal, two qualities which I find particularly valuable in a professional setting. He has personally helped me in professional negotiation for everything from train tickets to contract information, and I have always been able to count on him.
I first met Paul in school, where he was a student at the university at which I taught. He was well-known to most of the westerners in town, who could call from different universities to ask for his help. Sometimes this help involved translation of professional documents, and sometimes it involved personal help in making phone calls. Many of these westerners continue to call him today, even though they live quite far away from him, because they have come to trust him very much. From this foundation in public relations Paul has found positions in various
professional capacities and has been highly-valued in each place. He is generally the sort of employee a company finds most valuable in its dealings with both foreign and domestic clients. He puts people at their ease with his
language ability and manner, both of which communicate to people that they can relax and simply communicate.I would highly recommend Paul as an employee. His experience and manner are rare and very valuable.Robert Moore

Dear Colleagues:
MS. XXX requested a letter of reference from me to support her application for graduate studies at your university. As her research adviser when she was a graduate student in my school of science Beijing University of Chemical Technology, I am pleased to comply with her request.
I have known Ms. Zhang since 2003, when she was admitted as a Master of Science candidate into the school. As her research adviser, I directed her research and found her a promising youth radiating with intelligence and creativity. During her first year, she got a very good record in major courses and earned good scores major and general GPA 3.3. She particularly enjoyed challenging areas of studies such as Quantum Chemistry and Theory of Electrochemistry.
During the following two years, Ms. Zhang worked on a computational theory study of inorganic functional
materials project for his degree thesis “Theoretical Study of Electronic Structures of Several Representative Metal Element in the Hydrotalcite Slabs”. To make the theory model meet the actual materials, she faced down many practical problems, such as building reasonable module of inorganic materials, and calculation techniques. Working hard and independently, she cracked the problems one by one, and came up with a thesis that was characterized by academic excellence. During her M.S. period, she had three papers published in international journals.
Judging by her outstanding performance while she studied with me, I am convinced that Ms. Zhang has acquired the knowledge and intellectual sophistication on the basis of which she can undertake world-class training. I therefore lend her my enthusiastic support and would appreciate your favorable consideration of her application.

Dear Sir or x x x:
I take great pleasure in recommending Ren Ren, one of my favorite students, for admission into your distinguished graduate program.
Mr. Ren was admitted in 1986 at 14 years of age into the SPECIAL CLASS for the GIFTED YOUTHS, my
university's unique program that caters to the intellectual needs of unusually talented Chinese youngsters. It was a rare privilege he earned with his nearly impeccable academic performance through the years of his elementary and secondary school.
He impressed me almost as he entered into my university, a major cradle of China's scientific and technological talents. At the time, members of the Gifted Class all had to spend half a month studying by themselves the
principles of calculus and then take an exam so that we could evaluate their self-study capability. Mr. Ren scored the highest grade in that exam. He also exhibited a keenly whetted mind during class discussions. To my regret at the time, his English was not as good as his mathematics or physics. But I noticed he made a point of working especially hard in improving his English during his five undergraduate years with us. By now, he seems to be at least as proficient in English as most of his former classmates in the Gifted Class.
In my experience with Mr. Ren, I was impressed with not only his extraordinary intelligence but also his ambitions and persistence. I am sure that Mr. Ren will be an outstanding student in any doctoral program that he may care to eoll in. So I would like to support him firmly in his quest recommendation into account when considering his application. I would greatly appreciate it you decide to accept him as he wishes.
Yours sincerely

Dear Admissions Committee,
As Director of the State Key Laboratory of Electrical Insulation at ABC University in
BLANK, China, it is my sincere and distinct pleasure to recommend Ms. Xiao Xiao for your graduate program in BLANK.
I have known Ms. Xiao since 2001, when she was one of eighty students who completed their undergraduate thesis projects in my BLANK laboratory. Ms. Juan’s enthusiasm for and diligence in learning helped her become one of the most outstanding students in the entire group, making a strong, positive impression upon me. Ms. Xiao is a very driven woman and student who know what she wants to accomplish and does not falter in her chosen path. Her intellectual curiosity and desire to acquire new acknowledge continuously have led her to perform much study on her own outside the scope of her classes and research work; oftentimes, I witnessed her consulting scientific
books and journals to help her discover how she could improve her knowledge and her work in the laboratory. Countless times, Ms. Xiao remained in the laboratory for more than twelve hours in a row to complete her work and make sure there were no errors. With such devotion and fortitude, Ms. Xiao did not surprise me with her
superior performance on her thesis paper. In terms of her character, Ms. Xiao is an amiable, courteous, and helpful young woman who has many friends amongst our laboratory personnel.
Ms. Xiao is ready to move on to a more rigorous program of graduate study. Her academic performance, research work, and upstanding personal character have won her my highest recommendation, and I hope you give her application strong consideration. Thank you.
Sincerely,

几乎所有的大学都会要求美国留学申请人提出推荐信（Recommendation Letter）,评审委员借着推荐者的文字描述,可以了解申请人的背景状况。它可说明各种成绩单数字以外的其它意义,补充过于计量化、公式化审核的一种评估方式。 美国留学申请研究所一般要求三封推荐信推荐人的身份可以是曾经教你的教授,或是现（曾）职工作单位主管,自已视需要组合。例如,如果你毕业十年,你的推荐人可应有二封工作主管为宜,而毕业一两年顶多一封即足够。 推荐人的职务,并不一定愈高愈有利,相反地,认识你愈久而职称不高,内容又适当地表达你的个性（Personality）,才是上乘的推荐。以下,我们将提供你推荐信需注意的要点,帮助你着手起稿推荐信： （一）不要拖时间,尽快起草：推荐信需要时间写,何况又得配合老师的时间。所以尽快起草你的推荐信,以便使你的推荐者有充裕的时间,为你的推荐信效力。 （二）提供充份的信息给推荐者：如果你要推荐者能掌握你的优点,你得提供充份的信息。自然,要尽量具体避免空洞地陈述。同时,你也该提供你申请学校截止日期给推荐者参考,以免推荐者耽误了你的申请。 （三）各推荐信的打字书信字体,宜选不同的型式,以示不同的推荐者。属需要圈选的表格者,可以直接以手稿填入。 （四）在逻辑推理下,推荐者不可能知道或了解你的特质,请勿提及。譬如说,学生课外活动的表现就不适于平常教授正式科目的教授提及,除非教授也参与其中。又如其它课堂的表现,除非其它教授曾经提及过,否则不适合此科教授评论学生在其它科目的表现。再如,学生如何在图书馆查数据、写报告花费的时间,一般老师是不可能知之甚详,除非实在太特殊而略有耳闻,故也不适合在推荐信中提及。 （五）推荐信的内容尽量简短有力：不要虚无空洞的形容词,例如他任职于某公司时,勤劳、负责、认真、为人谦虚、诚恳等语句,不宜多引用,最好讲出具体事实,才不流于形式,尤其不要抄袭市面的书信范例,以免流于陈腔滥调,落入俗套。 （六）如果可能的话,推荐者最好与你修的科目或学校相关。譬如说：如果你将来计划主修英文,最好推荐人之一是英文老师。又如,如果你申请常春藤名校（IVY LEAGUE SCHOOL）,推荐者若也是常春藤名校出身,则其推荐信将更有力。 （七）适当提及自己的“缺点”。一封推荐信如果阐述的完全是被推荐的同学的优点，不免让人觉得有粉饰之嫌，如果能恰当地加入一些“缺点”，不仅能令推荐信真实，还会通过“似贬实褒”，反而突出了被推荐人的特殊气质。例如计算机专业、数学专业乃至金融专业的同学，在推荐信中可以考虑加入这样的词句：“该生有时因为过分专注于研究工作而难以平衡生活各方面的关系，这不失为一种美中不足”。这句话似乎是在谈“缺点”，但很明显这样的“缺点”其实正是很多专业最渴望的“缺点”——废寝忘食的工作态度，从而使得“缺点”也为申请提供了巨大帮助。 推荐信包含的主要题材 （一）与申请者的关系：表达清楚何种方式认识。譬如说是老师、指导教授,老板等。说明交往多久,如果是教授学生关系,对教授的科目做一个简短的说明,如果推荐信者是你的老板（主管）,请详细说明你的工作职责。 （二）推荐者对申请人人格个性特征的印象：譬如学习精神、工作态度、与同事（同学）相处的情形、组织领导能力、学术专长、研究能力、有无工作经验与否,并加注评语。 （三）推荐者对你能否顺利完成学位的看法：譬如说,描述你对特别分配职务上的
表现,以表现你的应变能力。又如,申请者是否有其它潜力未发挥？ 如果申请者的成绩未尽理想,评述你对申请者的看法。解释申请者虽然形式上的成绩未尽理想,却有极深厚的潜力尚未发挥。如果申请者转系,也可以强调申请者有强烈的学习动机,根据推荐者的观察,相信以申请者的表现,一定可以成功完成学业。 （四）推荐者对申请人人格个性特征的印象：譬如学习精神、工作态度、与同事（同学）相处的情形、组织领导能力、学术专长、研究能力、有无工作经验与否,并
加注评语。 （五）重述推荐者对申请人的支持及能力的确认,以再次肯定对申请人的支持与推荐。 美国留学申请推荐信的模式 推荐信的格式有些模式可循,以下将针对各段提供模式作参考： （一）抬头可用的格式有： Dear Sir/Madam; To Whom It May Concern: （二）第一段：引文句子可以引用如： “It is a pleasure to recommend to you (name), a former student of mine at (name of university).” “I am very happy to have this opportunity to recommend (name), who is presently applying for admission to your graduate (or undergraduate) program in (name of program).” “I understand that (name) is applying for admissions to your
graduate (undergraduate) school, and has requested that I write this letter of recommendation for her/him.” “In my capacity as professor at xxxx University, I have known xxx for three years, as both his/her advisor and professor.”
（三）第二段：这段可以提供最实质的内容。譬如,如果推荐者是教授, 解释学生在他门下所修的课程。“(name) took two of my courses during the 1984-85 academic year, as follows; “xxxxx” and “xxxxx”.” “(Name) was eolled in three of classes from September 1984 to June 1986 “xxx” and “xxx”.” 接下来,教授写一些有关申请人在课堂上的表现,如完成的研究计划、实验室研究、研究报告、考试的成绩、课堂态度、讨论课的参与等,举出实例。 “In my class (es), (name) did excellent work. She always listened attentively, participated activitely in class, and handed in very good written assignment. “In particular, his/her research paper on (topic) was of exceptionally high quality, and showed that s/he fully understands and has a strong background in his/her field.” 如果推荐人是工作主管,首先一定要仔细陈述申请人的工作职责,并对申请者工作表现作一评估。如果可能的话尽量列举实例。 “When (name) held the position of (job title) in this company she was one s/he was one of my best employees. His/her job responsibilities included (describe them), and s/he carried out his/her duties with exceptional skill and professionalism.” “S/he not only did his/her own work, but also helped other employees, and made many valuable contributions to the efficient running to our firm.” 第二段最后一段：可以提及申请人在班上（或公司里）的比较表现（譬如排名）： “I was rate (name)'s academic ability as in the top 10% of his/her class.” “Compared against other students that I have taught, I would say that (name) ranks in the upper 10%. 接下来,推荐者可对申请人能否成功完成学业提出看法。举例： “Based on his/her previous performance, I am certain that (name) would be a very successful student at your university.” “I believe that (name) possesses all the qualities necessary to make an excellent graduate student in his/her chosen field, and am sure that s/he will make a fine addition to your campus.” （四）第三段：如果还有其它话想说,请另写一段.例如：英文能力、沟通技巧、领导才能、特殊学术或工作背景。譬如说,如果申请人欲申请的科系是企管系,推荐者可着力描写他们有关申请人商业的专门技术、领导才能,以及申请者所参加的商业活动,例如,有关商业方面的组织社团。又如,申请人申请护理研究所,推荐者可着力描写他们关怀的态度、处理实验室的技能,或是对病人的奉献。 （五）最后,以几句结尾作总结； “Therefore, I am happy to highly and without reservation recommend (name) for admission to your graduate program. Your kind/serious consideration of his/her application would be most appreciated.” “I am thus pleased to give my full support and recommendation to (name)'s
application for admission to your school. If any further information is required, please feel free to contact me.” 签名： Sincerely, Sincerely yours, Very truly yours, With best regards,
下面结合上面的部分内容，给出一篇推荐信样例（被推荐的同学是数学系的）
Dear Sir/Madam:
I am writing this letter of recommendation for Mr.Caleb, my former student.
I have known Mr. Caleb for more than 6 years since his freshman year at "University of Minnesota". At that time, he took the course-- "Mathematical Analysis," which I taught mainly for junior students majoring in Mathematics.
To my surprise, I found he was among the few students in his class who could keep up with the pace of my lectures. Moreover, he often posed thought-provoking questions during the course. Thus it was natural that I liked
discussing with this young man and became familiar with him. The more I knew him, the more I found he was talented at mathematics. As you can see, he got excellent scores on the course. In fact, he ranked No. 1 on this 270 hours course in the talented student class which has 34 intelligent others. With his outstanding talent and solid mathematical background, he also did quite well in most other courses during his undergraduate study.
By the way, you may wonder why his undergraduate scores look not so good compared to other Chinese applicants. It is easy to explain, because he belonged to the talented student class, which were required to endure harder test papers and stricter grading than most other college students did at least at "University of Minnesota". He even served as Prof. Linda s Research Assistant for one year. No one cou(本文来自：Www.dXF5.com 东星资源 网:英语教师怎样出国)ld deny his commitment to his job. As a matter of fact, Prof. Linda s electronic lab happened to be neighboring my office and I could always see him working in the lab, either repairing the instruments or helping Prof. Linda collect lab reports. Maybe one more example will demonstrate his commitment more clearly. Once he suggested compiling a FORTRAN program to solve a complicated circuit problem in his class. In order to do that, he had to do a lot of computer work. However,
because there were few computers available in our computer lab, he had to wake up at 5 a.m. in winter (please note: "Twin city" is a downtown near the north border of China, so it is pretty cold in winter and the heating system is not working very well.) to ensure the 1st position of the long waiting line for his classmates and himself! At last he and his classmates finished the program successfully with his great efforts.
As to his personality, I would like to say Mr. Caleb is a warm-hearted, honest and upright student. He was always ready to help others. During my lectures, many students got confused at some points and I could always see Mr. Caleb help them explain during breaks. In the meanwhile, I must admit that Mr. Caleb was a bit impatient
sometimes. Finally, I would like to conclude my recommendation as follows: frankly, Mr. Caleb is not a genius, but I promise his great intelligence, commitment to work and his kind nature will impress you deeply.
Thus I recommend him without reservation for his admission and financial aid to your program. Please feel free to contact me if needed.
Sincerely Yours,

To whom it may concern:
It is a great pleasure for me to write this recommendation letter on behalf of Miss Yang, a promising student of our School of Economics. During her first two academic years, I was her advisor and now, I am teaching her course COMPARATIVE ECONOMIC SYSTEM.
Due to Miss Yang’s high intellect and incessant assiduity, she is an unquestionable top student. Her solid
mathematical and theoretical backgrounds are quite worthy of mentioning. Among the 150 students in her grade, she is one of the three who have never got a grade lower than 90 (in 100 scoring scale) in MATHEMATICAL ANALYSIS and LINEAR ALGEBRA. Also, her scores in MACROECONOMICS and MICROECONOMICS were the highest in her 32—student specialty class. At the same time, Miss Yang grasped every chance to satisfy her strong desire for advanced learning. Every time those alumni who had abstained ph. D degree in Ivy League came back to lecture to the graduate students, she audited without exception Their influence, in addition to her own
