震惊！光学了新概念1、2、3级，已经把语法基本学完了，词汇量也那么大。心里也长草了。打算让女儿过完机灵狗3和体验2，就上新概念！女儿也是这样选择的。
不过，除了教材，家长也是花了不少心思引导的。佩 ...

其实，新概念早点学迟点学关系不是太大，以后总是要学的。关键是学习习惯的培养，下面再说。

我这孩子其实学英语的历史并不长，也没有接受过双语早教。2011夏天背了200多单词吧，试水之后就停了，然后2012年5月正式开始学新概念第一册，那时已经6岁。然后就是第二册，第三册一路走来，现在是2013年夏天，也就1年多时间，效果大家也都看到了。我这个爸爸并没有花太多时间在孩子身上，读单词，被单词，背课文都靠她自己，帮不了她，也就是做些句子分析，语法分析之类，最后是验收检查。我做的最多的是学习材料选择，学习流程制定以及孩子学习习惯的培养。

女儿品熹没有读过童书，中文英文的童书在家都是被严格禁止。童书和电视电脑一样，是坏心智的东西，也没读过那些说不上名的名字奇奇怪怪的教材。不是说这些教材不好，而是这些教材大多顾左右而言他，忽视了英语中最核心的知识点的积累，一课只抓住一个知识点，然后不停地重复，学习效率极其低下。很多孩子都被这些教材害了，一直都在初级入门级教材打转转，时间一长，家长失去了兴趣，孩子也就荒废了。

还有一点，不要指望学校，培训机构。学校就是孩子学坏的地方！！！孩子在学校同学之间相互学坏毛病，至于老师，我就不说了，我们都是知道的。社会道德的培养，就更不要说了，我们都是知道的。因此，孩子的成长学校靠不住，社会靠不住，只能靠家长，多花些时间陪陪孩子吧，该辞工的辞工，该归隐的归隐。

孩子的学习习惯，日常行为准则，思想品德教育，参照《弟子规》，先哲们总结的学习方法，行为准则，品德教育让我们少走多少弯路啊。哈，好吧，我在为《弟子规》作软文。

过奖，不过很受用哎。
爱看墨遥呀呀学语的点滴片段，这可能是孩子最阔爱的阶段了，多为孩子拍些照片视频吧，把她们的小模样直观地记录下来，好让我们老了的时候，看看视频，阅读孩子的成长日记，回忆孩子和 ...

是啊，我们努力把这些美好的瞬间记录下来，到老了可以慢慢回味。
墨遥是学名，可可是小名，豌豆是网名，嘻嘻。

暴雨，不适合野外Hiking，呆在家里。
带着孩子学乐理，用的教材是中国音乐学院李重光的《基本乐理简明教程》，翻开版权页，已经印了298,060 嗯，经典教材。
上午讲解音名，音组，标准音，中央C，以及节奏，节拍，切分音等基础乐理名词。下午《送别》为例，试弹前4个小节。加强对上午音乐名词的理解。效果好过预期，孩子的节拍感很强，学的很快。下午5：00已经可以用右手节拍准确地弹奏前4个小节，左手伴奏不做要求。

     Lesson 29
           Funny or not?
            是否可笑？
         
What is the basis of 'sick' humour?

    Whether we find a joke funny or not largely depends on were we have been brought up. The sense of humour is mysteriously bound up with national characteristics. A Frenchman, for instance, might find it hard to laugh at a Russian joke. In the same way, a Russian might fail to see anything amusing in a joke witch would make an Englishman laugh to tears.
    Most funny stories are based on comic situations. In spite of national differences, certain funny situations have a universal appeal. No matter where you live, you would find it difficult not to laugh at, say, Charlie Chaplin's early films. However, a new type of humour, which stems largely from the U.S., has recently come into fashion. It is called 'sick humour'. Comedians base their jokes on tragic situation like violent death or serious accidents. Many people find this sort of joke distasteful The following example of 'sick humour' will enable you to judge for yourself.
    A man who had broken his right leg was taken to hospital a few weeks before Christmas. From the moment he arrived there, he kept on pestering his doctor to tell him when he would be able to go home. He dreaded having to spend Christmas in hospital. Though the doctors did his best, the patient's recovery was slow. On Christmas Day, the man still had his right leg in plaster. He spent a miserable day in bed thinking of all the fun he was missing. The following day, however, the doctor consoled him by telling him that his chances of being able to leave hospital in time for New Year celebrations were good. The good. The man took heart and, sure enough, on New Years' Eve he was able to hobble along to a party. To compensate for his unpleasant experiences in hospital, the man drank a little more than was good for him. In the process, he enjoyed himself thoroughly and kept telling everybody how much he hated hospitals. He was still mumbling something about hospitals at the end of the party when he slipped on a piece of ice and broke his left leg.

           Lesson 31
           A lovable eccentric
             可爱的怪人

Why did the shop assistant refuse to serve Dickie?

    True eccentrics never deliberately set out to draw attention to themselves. They disregard social conventions without being conscious that they are doing anything extraordinary. This invariably wins them the love and respect of others, for they add colour to the dull routine of everyday life.
    Up to the time of his death, Richard Colson was one of the most notable figures in our town. He was a shrewd and wealthy businessman, but most people in the town hardly knew anything about this side of his life. He was known to us all as Dickie and his eccentricity had become legendary long before he died.
    Dickie disliked snobs intensely. Though he owned a large car, he hardly ever used it, preferring always to go on foot. Even when it was raining heavily, he refused to carry an umbrella. One day, he walked into an expensive shop after having been caught in a particularly heavy shower. He wanted to buy a $300 watch for his wife, but he was in such a bedraggled condition than an assistant refused to serve him. Dickie left the shop without a word and returned carrying a large cloth bag. As it was extremely heavy, he dumped it on the counter. The assistant asked him to leave, but Dickie paid no attention to him and requested to see the manager. Recognizing who the customer was, the manager was most apologetic and reprimanded the assistant severely. When Dickie was given the watch, the presented the assistant with the cloth bag. It contained $300 in pennies. He insisted on the assistant's counting the money before he left -- 30,000 pennies in all! On another occasion, he invited a number of important critics to see his private collection of modern paintings. This exhibition received a great deal of attention in the press, for though the pictures were supposed to be the work of famous artists, they had in fact been painted by Dickie. It took him four years to stage this elaborate joke simply to prove that critics do not always know what they are talking about.

粘贴Lesson 33课文

        Lesson 33
           A day to remember
             难忘的一天

What incident began the series of traffic accidents?

    We have all experienced days when everything goes wrong. A day may begin well enough, but suddenly everything seems to get out of control. What invariably happens is that a great number of things choose to go wrong at precisely the same moment. It is as if a single unimportant event set up a chain of reactions. Let us suppose that you are preparing a meal and keeping an eye on the baby at the same time. The telephone rings and this marks the prelude to an unforeseen series of catastrophes. While you are on the phone, the baby pulls the tablecloth off the table, smashing half your best crockery and cutting himself in the process. You hang up hurriedly and attend to baby, crockery, etc. Meanwhile, the meal gets burnt. As if this were not enough to reduce you to tears, your husband arrives, unexpectedly bringing three guests to dinner.
    Things can go wrong on a big scale, as a number of people recently discovered in Parramatta, a suburb of Sydney. During the rush hour one evening two cars collided and both drivers began to argue. The woman immediately behind the two cars happened to be a learner. She suddenly got into a panic and stopped her car. This made the driver following her brake hard. His wife was sitting beside him holding a large cake. As she was thrown forward, the cake went right through the windscreen and landed on the road. Seeing a cake flying through the air, a lorry driver who was drawing up alongside the car, pulled up all of a sudden. The lorry was loaded with empty beer bottles and hundreds of them slid off the back of the vehicle and on to the road. This led to yet another angry argument. Meanwhile, the traffic piled up behind. It took the police nearly an hour to get the traffic on the move again. In the meantime, the lorry driver had to sweep up hundreds of broken bottles. Only two stray dogs benefited from all this confusion, for they greedily devoured what was left of the cake. It was just one of those days!

背单词、学音标、跟读音频，对于我们这些英语盲最多只能做到这几步，后续的语法之类的就爱莫能助了，楼主真是多才多艺，以后还要多多指教。我们现在学剑桥少儿英语，我只能让他多听mp3,告诉他要视音频为老师，对于如何校正音准，楼主有哪些好方法推荐吗，或者用过的哪些比较好的软件介绍下.

语法问题好解决，先找本简明语法书，读懂了，再背背有用的例句。然后再找个英语家教，花上20个小时把中学英语语法的知识点再带着复习一遍。

至于发音/语调,稍微复杂一点，因为若干元音辅音在汉语里没有对应的发音，千万不可拿汉语中相似的发音来替代，那就是所谓的口音。跟读可能是最有效模仿发音的方法，带上眼罩仔细聆听MP3的发音，然后跟读，比较两者发音的不同，此外还没找到更好的方法。另外请外教纠正发音必不可少，一对一辅导保证教学质量。

用软件学英语就是歪门邪道，效果不谈，效率一定低下。
