Improving your English speaking skills will help you communicate more easily and effectively. But how do you become a more confident English speaker?
提高你的英语口语技能将帮助您更轻松，更有效地进行沟通。但你如何成为一个更加自信地说英语？
 
Practise where you can, when you can. Any practice is good - whether you speak to someone who is a native English speaker or not.
尽可能多地练习。任何练习都是好的——不管你是否和一个英语母语者交谈。
 
It's important to build your confidence. If possible, use simple English sentence structure that you know is correct, so that you can concentrate on getting your message across.
建立信心是很重要的。如果可能的话，使用你知道是正确的简单英语句子结构，这样你就可以集中精力把你的信息传达出去。
 
Try to experiment with the English you know. Use words and phrases you know in new situations. Native English speakers are more likely to correct you if you use the wrong word than if you use the wrong grammar. Experimenting with vocabulary is a really good way of getting feedback.
试着用你知道的英语去说。在新的情况下使用你知道的单词和短语。如果你用错了单词，母语为英语的人比用错了语法的人更有可能能纠正你。尝试词汇是获得反馈的一种很好的方法。
 
Try to respond to what people say to you. You can often get clues to what people think by looking at their body language. Respond to them in a natural way.
试着回应别人对你说的话。你经常可以通过观察人们的肢体语言来了解他们的想法。以自然的方式回应他们。
 
Try NOT to translate into and from your own language. This takes too much time and will make you more hesitant.
尽量不要翻译成你自己的语言。这需要太多时间，会让你更加犹豫。
 
If you forget a word, do what native English speakers do all the time, and say things that 'fill' the conversation. This is better than keeping completely silent. Try using um, or er, if you forget the word.
如果你忘了一个词，做母语为英语的人经常做的事情，说一些能“填满”谈话内容的话。这比完全保持沉默要好。如果你忘了这个词，试着用嗯或者呃。
 
 
Don't speak too fast! It's important to use a natural rhythm when speaking English, but if you speak too fast it will be difficult for people to understand you.
别说得太快！说英语时使用自然节奏很重要，但如果你说得太快，人们很难理解你。
 
Try to relax when you speak - you'll find your mouth does most of the pronunciation work for you. When you speak English at normal speed, you'll discover that many of the pronunciation skills, such as linking between words, will happen automatically.
说话时尽量放松-你会发现你的嘴对你的发音起作用。当你以正常的速度说英语时，你会发现许多发音技巧，例如单词之间的连接，都会更自然。
 
Remember, when speaking English...
Try to become less hesitant and more confident.
记住，说英语时…
试着变得不那么犹豫和自信。
 
Don't be shy to speak - the more you do it, the more confident you'll become.
不要害羞说话-你做得越多，你就越有信心。
 
Remember to be polite - use "please" and "thank you" if you ask someone to do something for you.
记住要有礼貌-如果你要求别人为你做点什么，就用“请”和“谢谢”来表达。
