Well hey there, I’m E妹妹a from 妹妹mEnglish and today we are talking about one of my favourite topics: how to stay motivated as you’re learning English. Let’s be honest, very few of us are able to stay excited about something a hundred per cent of the time, right?
大师好，我是E妹妹a，接待来到甘旨英语频道，今天咱们要会商的是我最喜好的话题之一：在进修英语时若何连结动力。说真话，咱们中很少有人能在百分之百的时候对某件事变连结热忱，对吗？
Especially if that something takes a lot of time, effort or energy to make it happen like becoming fluent in another language, for example. It takes work and effort to stay focused, to keep on the path, to keep working towards your goals.
出格是若是这件事必要耗费大量的时候、@尽%97OQ8%力或精%8n88H%神@来实现，好比说要很是流畅地说另外一门说话。要连结专注，对峙走下去，继续为你的方针而尽力，这必要支出不少的尽力。
So let’s talk about what you can do if you’ve lost the motivation to learn, to study or to practise English. Hey Lady! is an online co妹妹unity where women from around the world meet to practise speaking English together.
以是让咱们来聊一聊若是你落空了进修、@钻%MUR35%研或操%256R5%练@英语的动力的话，可以做些甚么吧。Hey Lady！是一个在线社区，来自世界各地的主妇汇集在这里一块儿操练英语白话。
It’s the easiest way to find English-speaking friends and to get regular practice, the practice that you need to speak English confidently and fluently. Hey Lady! is a safe and supportive space for women with an intermediate to advanced level of English.
这是寻觅说英语的朋侪和举行按期操练最简略的法子，这是说一口自傲流畅的英语所必要的。Hey Lady！是一个为中高档英语程度女性供给一个平安的、布满支撑的空间。
Come and visit us at heylady. io and discover the English speaking version of you today. Do you sometimes lose motivation with your English practice?
拜候一下咱们的 heylady.io 的，摸索一下英语版本的你吧。你是不是有时会对你的英语操练落空动力？
I’m curious to find out what you do to get your motivation back. Have you tried something that didn’t really work?
我很想晓得你做了甚么来重拾动力。你是不是测验考试过一些并无颇有效的事变呢？？
Or is there something that you do regularly that does work? Share it in the co妹妹ents.
或有甚么是你常常做的并且确切有用的事变呢？在评论平分享一下吧。
I would genuinely love to hear from you. Motivation is something that we talk about a lot over inside Hey Lady!
我很想听到大师的定见。踊跃性是 Hey Lady！中很是首要的内核。
Hey Lady! is my online English co妹妹unity and we’re always discussing strategies and ideas, especially about what we can do if we lose motivation. And this can happen for all sorts of different reasons, right?
Hey Lady！是我开办的在线英语社区，咱们一向在会商一些计谋和设法，出格是若是咱们落空动力的话咱们可以做甚么。这这可能会由于各类分歧的原因此致使的，对吗？
If you’re not making any progress or you don’t feel like you are. If you’re not enjoying studying the language.
你可能没有获得任何希望，或你感觉本身没有任何希望。可能你不喜好进修这门说话。
Maybe you have other priorities, family or work or health co妹妹itments and maybe you’re trying to get back into English after you’ve taken a break and that can feel hard too. So today I’m going to talk about what you can do in all four of those different situations to try and get some of that motivation back, to get back on track.
或许你有其他优先要做的事变，在家庭、@事%85ar4%情或康%7y13L%健@方面要支出精神，或许你在苏息一段时候后试图从新进修英语，这也会让你感触步履维艰。以是今天我要谈一谈在这四种分歧的环境下，你可以做甚么来找回动力，重回正轨。
But the advice that I’m sharing doesn’t come from me alone, it comes from all of my students inside Hey Lady! too, their advice was so spot on when we were talking about it, I just had to create a video and share it all with you too. So let’s start here.
但我要分享的建议其实不是来自我一小我的，它们来自我在 Hey Lady！内里的所有学生，在咱们会商的时辰她们提出了不少建议，以是我要发个视频个大师分享。以是让咱们起头吧。
I’ve been learning English for a while and I don’t feel like I’m making any progress. What can I do?
我已学了一段时候的英语，但我感觉我没有任何希望。我能做甚么呢？
So the underlying feeling here is: what’s the point of all of this study and practice if I’m not improving? And my question to you would then be:
咱们会发生这类感受：若是我没有前进的话，所有进修和操练的意义安在？那我要问大师的问题就是：
Well, what are you doing to keep track of your progress? There is a real difference between feeling like you’re not making progress and actually documenting your progress as evidence and knowing that you’re not making progress.
你在做甚么来跟踪你的希望呢？感受你没有获得希望和经由过程记实你的希望作为证据从而晓得你没有获得希望之间实际上是有区此外。
So two things here. Set clear and achievable goals and keep a progress diary so that you can keep track of your progress. It doesn’t have to be complicated but it should be something that you do to document the action that you take along with the success that you have and the things that you still need to work on.
以是这里有两个关头点。设定明白可实现的方针，并写下希望日志，以便你能跟踪你的希望。不必定要很繁杂，但要用它来记实你所采纳的举措、你所获得的乐成，和你依然必要尽力的方面。
So let’s look at some examples 
of this. I watched a lesson about the second conditional.
让咱们看一些例子吧。我看了一节关于第二前提句的课。
I practised writing sentences and sent them to my tutor to check. So some of these things went really well.
我操练写句子，并把它们发给我的导师查抄。有些部门希望得很顺遂。
Success could be: I had a really interesting conversation with someone in English.
好比说：我和或人用英语举行了一次很是有趣的对话。
I feel more comfortable using contractions when I speak. I seem to be using the second conditional really well when I write but then there’s the things that I still need to work on.
我感觉措辞时利用缩写加倍惬意。我在写作时彷佛很好地利用了第二前提句，但另有一些方面我依然必要继续尽力。
I’m not automatically using the second conditional when I’m speaking. I hesitate and I think too much about the structure.
我在措辞时没有主动利用第二前提句。我夷由未定，斟酌了不少布局的问题。
So keeping track of this progress allows you to see what you’ve been doing and prove that you’ve been doing things, helps you to see your success and now you also know what you need to keep working on, what you need to keep improving so that you can feel that progress over time. I’ve made you a really simple PDF download that will help you to set your goals and keep track of your progress as you go and I’ve linked to it down in the description, it is such a simple and easy way to record and measure your progress.
以是跟踪这一希望可让你清楚地看到你一向在做的事变，证实你实际上是一向在尽力的，这可以帮忙你看到本身取患了甚么乐成，也晓得你必要在哪些方面继续尽力，如许你便可以感觉到跟着时候的推移你的前进。我给大师做了一个很是简略的 PDF 大师可如下载，它可以帮忙你设定方针，并在你的进修进程中跟踪你的希望，我已把链接放在描写区了，这是一个很是简略轻易的法子可以来记实和权衡你的希望。
I have to learn English and I’m just not enjoying it. What can I do?
我必需进修英语，但我其实不喜好它。我能怎样办呢？
This is tough. It’s tough to get your mind out of this place, we all go through periods like this whether it’s learning a language or an instrument or a new skill, whatever it is, sometimes it feels hard and it doesn’t feel fun.
这是很难的。让你从这个时代走出来是很可贵，咱们城市履历如许的时代，不论是进修说话、乐器仍是新技术，有时咱们会感受好难啊，一点意思都没有。
And if it doesn’t feel fun and we find ourselves thinking: Why am I doing this? What’s it all for? What’s the point?
若是感受没意思，并且咱们发明本身在想：我为甚么要如许做？这一切是为了甚么？有甚么意义？
In these moments we’re often asking ourselves these questions because we’re not really clear on why, why you’re doing this. This is your reason, your purpose for working so hard.
在这些时刻，咱们常常问本身这些问题，由于咱们没有真正清晰为甚么要如许做。你的来由是甚么，你尽力事情的目标又是甚么。
If your reason is strong enough, you should be able to use it to refocus your energy, to see the big picture and understand why all this hard work is worth it. Here are some really powerful reasons why you should be studying and practising your English.
若是你的来由足够壮大的话，那应当可以或许用它来帮忙你从新集中精神，看到大局，并理解为甚么你所做的尽力都是值得的。如下是一些很是有力的来由，阐明你应当进修和操练英语。
I’m improving my English so that I can study my Masters abroad. I can attend conferences and I can create career opportunities for myself and my family.
我正在提高我的英语程度，如许才能在外洋攻读硕士学位。我可以加入集会，我可觉得本身和家人缔造职业机遇。
Now that I live in an English-speaking country, I want to be able to speak with my children’s teachers at school and mingle with the other parents at birthday parties and become friends with my neighbours.
如今我糊口在一个讲英语的国度。我但愿可以或许在黉舍与我孩子的教员扳谈，在生日集会上与其他家长打成一片，和邻人成为朋侪。
These reasons are huge motivators, it’s about identity, recognition, friendship, these are really strong human desires. Here’s a less powerful reason why.
这些来由是庞大的念头，它瓜葛到身份、认同、交情，而这些是人类很是强烈的愿望。另有一个不太有力的缘由。
I want to be able to speak with native speakers. This one is not specific enough, it’s not meaningful enough.
我但愿可以或许与讲母语的人扳谈。这个不敷详细，意义不大。
When times get tough and you feel unmotivated, having that really strong reason why, that strong purpose will encourage you to pick yourself up and get back to work. So I want you to tell me, what is your reason for learning English?
当履历坚苦的时辰，当你感触没有动力的时辰，具有真正壮大的来由可以鼓动勉励你振作起来，从新投入事情。我想让你奉告我，你进修英语的缘由是甚么呢？
Tell me down in the co妹妹ents and try and make it as powerful, as meaningful as you can. What about your life will change if you can speak English clearly and confidently?
在评论中奉告我吧，尽可能让这些来由很强颇有意义哦。若是你能清楚而自傲地讲英语的话，你的糊口会产生甚么变革呢？
Next, create an English learning journey that excites you. If you’re going to boring language classes and you’re complaining about not enjoying it, it’s up to you to mix things up a little, to try some different classes or work with a different tutor, see if you have more luck joining language exchanges or online co妹妹unities like Hey Lady!
接下来，缔造一个令你愉快的英语进修之旅。若是你去上无聊的说话课，可是你布满埋怨、不喜好它的话，那就要看你是不是要把事变弄得更繁杂一些，测验考试一些分歧的课程或与分歧的教员一块儿进修，看看你是不是有更多的机遇参加说话交换或网上社区，如 Hey Lady！
Everything is in your control so if you’re bored and you’re feeling uninspired, do something different. Here are two interesting ways to mix things up a little, delve into your existing hobbies and find other people who share your interests.
一切都在你的把握当中，以是若是你感触无聊，你感觉没有灵感，那就做一些分歧的事变吧。这里有两个有趣的法子，可让事变更繁杂一些，你可以深刻钻研你现有的快乐喜爱，并找到其他与你乐趣不异的人。
No matter what your hobby is, there is definitely an English speaking space out there for it. Are you into gaming?
不管你的快乐喜爱是甚么，必定会有讲英语的空间的。你喜好游戏吗？
Play online and talk to your opponents. Find forums or discussion groups to talk about the latest games and stuff.
那就玩线上游戏，而且和你的敌手扳谈。寻觅论坛或会商组来会商最新的游戏等等。
I mean other gaming stuff, I guess. Or cooking.
我的意思是其他游戏相干的内容。或是烹调。
What about cooking, movies, music, meme-making, bike riding, gardening, whatever it is, there are forums, discussion groups that you can join. I know we have lots of interest groups that have formed inside Hey Lady! for this exact reason so that you have a way of sharing and exchanging your passions through your English.
烹调、片子、音乐、建造备忘录、骑自行车、园艺，不论是甚么，都有你可以参加的论坛和会商组。咱们有不少乐趣小组就是出于这个缘由在 Hey Lady！内部构成的，经由过程这些小组你们可以用英语来分享和交换你们的所喜好的事物。
You want to engage with someone so you can try different social media platforms, especially those that are tailored for discussion and interaction: Reddit, Twitter, Instagram, where you can reach out to people that you follow and start a conversation. When you do find someone to chat with and you can see how your English skills are creating new opportunities and experiences, well that is a huge motivator.
你想与人接触，以是你可以测验考试分歧的社交媒体平台，出格是那些为会商和互动而量身定制的平台：Reddit、Twitter、Instagram，在这些平台上你可以接触到你存眷的人并起头对话。当你找到了可以谈天的人，并且你可以看到你的英语技术若何缔造新的机遇和履历，那末这实在就是一个庞大的动力。
Okay how about this one. To be honest, I have other priorities right now.
好吧，那这个呢？说真话，我如今有其他优先事项。
I just can’t focus on my English. This is a tricky one because life happens, doesn’t it?
我不克不及只是用心学英语。 每听 这是一个很贫苦的问题，由于糊口中会产生这类事变，对吧？
A family member becomes ill, work gets really busy maybe we have problems in relationships with the people around us. We have to manage all kinds of different stresses and sometimes your English practice has to take a back seat and that’s okay.
某位家庭成员生病了，事情变得很是忙碌，咱们与四周的人的瓜葛呈现了问题。咱们必需处置各类分歧的压力，有时你的英语操练不能不退居二线，这是没有瓜葛的。
But there are a couple of things that you can do to take a break when you need it but then make sure you get back to your practice after that. And I think the secret is to allow yourself to take a timed break.
但有几件事你可以做，在你必要的时辰可以苏息一下，但要确保你在苏息后要归去继续操练。我认为法门就是容许本身按时苏息。
Maybe a few days, maybe a couple of weeks, maybe a month. If you can put a deadline on it, do it.
或许几天，或许几周，或许一个月。若是你能给它设定一个刻日的话，那便可以去苏息一下。
The problem is with an open-ended break, we can just keep putting it off, pushing it back again and again. So write the date down, put it in your calendar, set the intention by telling someone else your plan.
问题是，若是苏息没有竣事刻日的话，咱们就会一向迟延。是以必要把日期写下来，写在你的日历上，奉告他人你的规划来肯定用意。
These are all really small things but they will help you to stay true to that date. It’ll allow you to give yourself the permission you need to take a break, know that that break is specifically to help you heal, recover, rest and come back to what you’re working on with full energy and optimism and motivation to keep going.
这些都是很是小的事变，但它们可以帮忙你遵照这个时候。 [eu soft] 它将容许你给本身苏息的时候，晓得修整是专门用来帮忙你愈合、规复和苏息的，并以丰满的精神和乐观的立场回到你正在举行的事情中，满怀动力继续进步。
And even if you are on a break, you can still i妹妹erse yourself in other ways. Your English practice doesn’t have to be a hundred per cent study all of the time.
并且即便你在苏息，你依然可以经由过程其他方法沉醉此中。你的英语操练不必定要每时每刻都在进修。
Ask yourself: How can I keep English around me in my life even if I’m taking a break from formal study?
问问你本身：就算我从正式的进修中抽身出来，那我怎么才能在糊口中一向接触到英语呢？
Music or podcasts or movies. There are so many different ways to keep engaging with English unofficially.
音乐或播客或片子。有这么多分歧的方法来连结与英语非正式接触。
Okay so I took a break but now I feel like I’ve forgotten all the English I know. How can I get back into it?
好吧，我苏息了一下，但如今我感觉我已健忘了我学过的所有英语了。我怎么才能从新投入此中呢？
Well firstly, you’re never back at square one again. If you’ve started learning something then that information is stored somewhere in your brain somewhere, you just need to access it.
起首，你永久不会再回到原点。若是你已起头进修某件事变，那末这些信息就贮存在你大脑的某个处所，你只必要去提取它。
So start by doing a little revision, go back through your old coursework or books. Test yourself on what you remember, you probably remember a lot more than you think.
以是起首要举行温习，回首一下你之前的课程功课或册本。测试一下本身的影象，你可能比你想象的要记很多。
But find those areas where you’re getting stuck, spend some time revising, revising what you know and it will come back to you faster than it came to you the first time around. So give yourself ten to twenty minutes every day to get back up to speed.
但要找到那些你被卡住的处所，花些时候举行批改，批改你晓得的内容，它就会比第一次进修的时辰更快地回到你的影象当中。以是天天给本身十到二十分钟的时候来规复你的速率。
And be reasonable with yourself, if you’ve taken a long break, I’d say you’d need around one month of daily practice to get yourself back up to speed, back to where you were before you first took that break. And it’s at that point that you can start talking about taking on new knowledge and learning new things and really seeing that improvement.
若是你已苏息了很长时候，我认为你必要一个月摆布的平常操练来让本身规复以前的速率，回到你第一次苏息以前的状况。而恰是在这一点上，你可以起头评论辩论接管新常识和进修新事物，并可以看到你的前进。
Okay my friends, I really hope that this advice helps you to find some of that lost motivation again. Work on it regularly, find the favourite parts of learning English and run with those.
好了，我的朋侪们，但愿这些建议能帮忙你们从新找到一些落空的动力。纪律进修，找到进修英语时最喜好的方面，并操纵这些方面继续进修。
Take time out when you need to, rest, recharge, come back stronger than before. And don’t forget to download my progress tracker so that you can prove to yourself that you’re heading in the right direction.
必要的时辰那就抽出时候苏息充电，回来的时辰会比之前更壮大。不要健忘下载我的进度跟踪器，如许你便可以向本身证实你的标的目的是准确的。
The link is down in the description below and I’ve also created this video right here about habits that you can do daily to improve your English every day.
链接鄙人面的描写区中，我建造了这个视频，视频是关于你天天可以连结的习气以提高你的英语程度。
