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.

Which statement is true according to the passage?
A:You don't stop each time when you practice your accuracy.
B:You should care about all the mistakes in your speaking all the time.
C:Record yourself for three to four minutes is a good method to improve accuracy.
D:You record yourself more,and you will become more confident and natural sounding.

Things We Know about TV

We keep reading that TV is bad for you.If this is true,how come the current generation of TV-addicted kids is much smarter than we are?In my home,the only people who can work the remote control are the children.
Perhaps TV does educate you.For example,you learn a useful medical fact:A person who has been shot always has time to speak an incomplete sentence before he dies.“The killer was…” (dies).
But I guess the biggest things we learn from TV can be regarded as"Life Skills".Bad things only happen on dark and stormy nights.Emotional breakdowns cause people to wander in the heavy rain without umbrellas.And contrary to what scientists say,the crack（霹雳）of lightning and the accompanying flash happen at exactly the same time,wherever you are.
Making use of what we learn from TV can improve our security.Consider these truths.If you are ever attacked by 20 bad guys,don't worry about being outnumbered.The criminals will hang back and take turns to approach you in ones and twos just so you can conveniently defeat them all.
TV also teaches us important information about escaping from danger. Watch and learn.If anyone is running after you down a passage,you will find that boxes have been conveniently placed near all the walls you need to jump over. If you are tall and handsome,you can run from any number of armed criminals,and every shot will miss you.
Be warned, however. If your name card says "henchman"（帮凶）and you are part of a group of plain-looking people trying' to catch a handsome individual,a single shot will kill you.
TV even teaches us about TV.Whenever anyone turns on a TV,it shows a news flash about someone they know. They then turn the box off immediately after that news item.

On TV what usually happens when a person turns it on?
A:The news shown is always about someone the person knows.
B:The person always turns off the TV when it's time for news.
C:The program shown is always about the importance of TV.
D:TV always shows news about famous people.
