The Balance between Fluency and Accuracy

To be able to speak English with fluency and accuracy is a goal of many Chinese English learners.Fluency can be simply defined as"being able to communicate ideas without having to stop and think too much about what one is saying";speaking accurately means"speaking without errors of grammar and vocabulary".
However,the fact is that many students find that the faster they try to speak,the more mistakes they make.And,when they slow down,there may be fewer errors though it can sound unnatural. So,how to balance accuracy and fluency in spoken English?
It can depend on the manner in which one has studied English in the past.People who tend to focus on accuracy may find that they worry too much about making mistakes.This can make them nervous or embarrassed about speaking English in public.As a result,their spoken English might not improve.This means that,although they know English grammar and vocabulary well,they might not be able to hold a good conversation.
On the other hand,there are those who really like to talk and are willing to try their language out even if they make mistakes.This willingness to take risks helps them speak more fluidly.But,if they make a lot of mistakes,it may make it difficult for them to have their ideas understood.
The debate about which is more important一fluency or accuracy一in the English language has lasted for a long time.Still,one thing is clear:neither of them should be absent if one is to speak a language well.How can we be sure that we can develop both?The following tips could help.
Find the problem.What kind of person are you一one who focuses on accuracy or one who focuses on frequency?The first step is to recognize your problem and go to work on it.Think about situations where you've used English and how you felt about making mistakes?Do you always try some new language even though it might not be correct?Or do you feel embarrassed by mistakes?
Focus on one problem at a time.When you speak English,find the mistakes you make most often.One mistake Chinese often make is omitting the"S"from the third person singular verb.Or you may speak too slowly as if you were searching for the right word and correct grammar. The next time you use English,try to work on those problems you have identified.If it's fluency,try to focus on it.If you have a problem with the third person singular,try to concentrate on when you make such errors.Don't spend time thinking about other mistakes.By choosing an area to work on,you can isolate problems and help yourself overcome them.
Vary your practice.If you go to an English corner or an English club,try to change the types of activities you take part in so that you practice both fluency and accuracy.Public speaking allows you to slow down and be sure you have time to concentrate on the language.Meanwhile,discussions are good practice for fluency,especially if you don't stop each time a mistake is made.
Tell the difference between fluency and speed.Some Chinese think that speaking fast is the same as speaking fluently.In fact,speaking fluently involves not only speed.It also involves stress, pronunciation and intonation. If you make a mistake in these,speaking fast will only make it worse. Don't sacrifice understanding for speed.
Record yourself. Take a tape recorder and record a conversation with a friend or a speech or talk to yourself as you do it naturally!A two-or-three-minute recording is enough.When you've finished,listen to yourself. Can you find out any error and correct it?Make it a regular practice.The more you record yourself,the more confident and natural sounding you will become.

Who are likely to feel nervous or embarrassed about speaking English in public?
A:Those who focus on fluency.
B:Those who focus on accuracy.
C:Those who speaks fast.
D:Those who record themselves.
参考答案和解析
答案：B
解析：
本题是细节推理题。题干是：准确性的定义是什么？选择A的依据是第一段最后一句：" speaking without errors of grammar and vocabulary”说话不犯语法错误和词汇错误。这与选项A的内容一致。所以选项A是正确答案。
本题是细节理解题。题干是：在“This willingness to take risks helps them speak more fluidly”句中fluidly的意思是什么？（第四段，第二行）。选择A的依据第四段的第一句：" On the other hand , there are those who really like to talk and are willing to try their language out even if they make mistakes.”另一方面，有一些人真的很喜欢说话，而且就算说错，他们也愿意试着说。这说明该段主要强调注重流利性多于准确性的人，所以依此推理fluidly是“流利的”意思。另外，也可以通过fluid作为名词液体的意思，借助一些名词加“ly”以后变成副词或者形容词这一常识推理出正确答案。所以选A。
本题是细节理解题。题干是：流利性和准确性哪个更重要？选择D的依据是，第五段的前两句：" The debate about which is more important一fluency or accuracy一in the English language has lasted for a long time.Still,one thing is clear:neither of them should be absent if one is to speak a language well.”说英语时流利重要还是准确重要，关于这个问题的辩论持续了很长时间。然而，有一点是明确的，即想要说好一门语言，流利性和准确性都不能少。作者似乎提出在文中提出了和题干一样的题，但后面的回答只是关于二者的必要性，而非就二者之间哪个更重要，所以D是正确答案。
本题是细节理解题。题干是：根据本文，哪个说法是正确的？ 选择D的依据是全文最后一句："The more you record yourself, the more confident and natural sounding you will become.”你自己录音越多，你就越有自信，你的英语听上去会更自然。所以选择与原文同义的选项D。
本题是细节推理题。题干是：在进行公共演讲时，谁会感到紧张、尴尬？选择B的依据是第三段的第二、三句：" People who tend to focus on accuracy may find that they worry too much about making mistakes.This can make them nervous or embarrassed about speaking English in public.”那些倾向于注重说话准确性的人可能会发现，他们太过担心犯错误。这可能导致他们在公众场合说英语感到紧张或尴尬。所以，选项B注重说话准确性的人，是正确答案。

　　The Road to Modern English
　　At the end of the 16th century, above five to seven million people spoke English. Nearly all of them lived in England. Later in the next century, people from England made voyages to conquer other parts of the world and because of that, English began to be spoken in many other countries.
　　Today, more people speak English as their first, second or a foreign language than ever before.
　　Native English speakers can understand each other even if they don't speak the same kind of English. Look at this example:
　　British Betty: Would you like to see my flat
　　American Amy: Yes, I'd like to come up to your apartment.
　　So why has English changed over time Actually all languages change and develop when cultures meet and communicate with each other. At first, the English language spoken in England between about AD 450 and 1150 was very different from the English spoken today. It was based more on German than the English we speak at present. Then gradually between about AD 800 and1150, English became less like German because those who ruled England spoke first Danish and later French. These new settlers enriched the English language and especially its vocabulary. So by the 1600s Shakespeare was able to make use of a wider vocabulary than ever before. In 1620 some British settlers moved to America. Later in the 18th century some British people were taken to Australia too. English began to speak in both countries.
　　Finally by the 19th century the language was settled. At that time two big changes in English spelling happened: first Samuel Johnson wrote his dictionary and later Noah Webster wrote The American Dictionary of English language. The latter gave a separate identity to American English spelling.
　　English now is also 'spoken as a foreign or second language in South Asia. For example, India has a very large number of fluent English speakers because Britain ruled India from 1765 to 1947.
　　During that time English became the language for government and education. English is also spoken in Singapore and Malaysia and countries in Africa such as South Africa. Today the number of people learning English in China is increasing rapidly. In fact, China may have the largest number of English learners. Will Chinese English develop its own identity Only time will tell.

　　Activity 2 Group discussion

The Balance between Fluency and Accuracy

To be able to speak English with fluency and accuracy is a goal of many Chinese English learners.Fluency can be simply defined as"being able to communicate ideas without having to stop and think too much about what one is saying";speaking accurately means"speaking without errors of grammar and vocabulary".
However,the fact is that many students find that the faster they try to speak,the more mistakes they make.And,when they slow down,there may be fewer errors though it can sound unnatural. So,how to balance accuracy and fluency in spoken English?
