Hello everyone, and welcome back to English with Lucy.

大家好，欢迎回到跟着 Lucy 学英语。

Today I am going to show you six everyday habits for improving your English and these are things that you can do at home.

今天我要教你们六个用来提高英语的日常习惯，而且都是能够在家里完成的。

One of the best ways to learn a language is to make it a part of your daily life.

学习一门语言的最佳方式之一就是让它成为你生活的一部分。

And you need to do this by forming habits.

你需要通过养成习惯来做到这一点。

And I have got some great ideas for you.

我有一些很好的想法要告诉你们。

Some of these habits are really enjoyable.

有一些习惯非常令人享受。

For example, the first one which is perform guided meditation in English.

比如，第一个就是用英语进行有指导的冥想。

So guided meditation is great for relieving stress levels and anxiety and making you feel more connected with yourself.

有指导的冥想有助于缓解压力和焦虑，并且能够让你更好地自我联结。

But doing it in the language you are learning can offer so many benefits.

通过用你正在学习的语言做这件事能够带来很多好处。

Often, listening to English, trying to understand English, learning English in general is really really stressful for students.

很多时候听英语，理解英语，学习英语对于学生来说真的压力山大。

But guided meditation sessions are designed to relax you, so you may find yourself picking up on a lot more.

但是有指导的冥想课程被设计用来让你放松，这样你会发现自己学会很多内容。

I have got three recommendations for great YouTube channels that offer guided meditation.

我有三个非常棒的提供有指导的冥想的油管频道要推荐。

First speaks with a British accent.

第一个讲的是英语口音。

The second with an American accent and the third with an Australian accent.

第二个讲的是美国口音，第三个是澳大利亚口音。

So you can choose which is best for you.

这样你们可以选择最适合自己的。

For British, we have Caroline McCready.

英语口音我要推荐的是 Caroline McCready。

Simply become aware of your breathing.

意识到你的呼吸。

She's got the most beautiful voice in accent.

她的口音很美妙。

For the American accent, we have The Mindful Movement.

对于美式口音，我们有 The Mindful Movement。

And now turn off all distractions and commit this time for yourself.

现在切断所有令人分心的事物，把时间留给自己。

You can see there's so much vocabulary to pick up on.

你会发现有很多词汇可以学习。

And some people find that listening to foreign languages in a subconscious state can help them pick up on more vocabulary.

而且有些人发现在无意识状态下听外语可以帮助他们学会更多的词汇。

It doesn't happen for everyone, but try it and see if it works for you.

这并非适用于每个人，但是可以尝试一下，看看它是否对你有用。

And the last one for Australian accents, we have Michael Sesley.

最后一个是澳大利亚口音，我们有Michael C Lee。

And you understand that yes, these are your thoughts.

然后你明白，是的，这些是你的想法。

But you also know and understand that who you are is so much more than simply your thoughts.

但是你也知道并理解，你是谁不仅仅只是你的想法。

Right, let's move on to habit number two.

好的，我们来说第二个习惯。

Habit number two is all about keeping yourself inspired and motivated.

第二个习惯就是让自己持续有灵感，有动力。

Okay, something that I found so helpful and interesting when I was actively learning Spanish was discovering other people's language learning journeys.

好的，我在积极学习西班牙语时发现的非常有用也很有趣的事情就是发掘他人学习语言的经历。

And I want you to do this with other non-native English speakers who have reached a level of English that you also want to reach.

我希望你们跟其他已经达到了你想要达到的水平的非母语英语学习者一起做这件事。

Everyday, try and watch a video of somebody sharing their experience.

每天看一个他人分享学习经验的视频。

You can learn so much from them.

你可以从他们身上学到很多。

There is only so much I can teach you as a native English speaker.

我作为英语母语者有很多内容可以教给你们。

I'm in your shoes because I've learnt other languages but I'm not absolutely in your shoes with English.

我能够站在你们的角度是因为我也学过其它语言，但是我无法完全站在你们的角度。

That's why I always say it's great to listen to native speakers and native teachers but also non-native teachers, because they understand where you're coming from, because they were once there too.

这也是为什么我一直说不仅要听母语者和母语者老师讲的课，也要听非母语老师的课，因为他们知道你的起点在哪里，因为他们也曾经处于那个水平。

So I've got an example for you that I'll link below.

所以我给你们推荐了一个范例，链接在下面。

There is the most lovely girl.

这是个非常可爱的女孩。

She's from Brazil, but she speaks English with this most incredible British accent.

她来自巴西，但是她有一口漂亮的英音。

She has absolutely nailed it and she tells you how she's achieved that.

她真的说得很棒，而且她会告诉你们她是如何做到的。

I am originally from Brazil and I'm just a regular English student like all of you out there learning English.

我来自巴西，我常年学习英语，跟你们一样。

But I thought. . . . . .

但是我认为……

If everyday you can make it a habit to listen to at least one motivating and inspiring learning journey story, you'll pick up on so much knowledge and insight, and you'll feel much more confident about your own learning process and journey.

如果你能养成习惯，每天听至少一个有启发性的学习旅程故事，那么你会学到很多知识和见识，而且你将对自己的学习过程充满信心。

You'll realize that you're not alone.

你会发现自己并不孤单。

You're not stupid.

你并不愚蠢。

Learning English is bloody hard.

学英语真的很难。

It really really is.

真的。

And these people who have achieved amazing accents and wonderful fluency should be really really proud of themselves.

而那些拥有了漂亮的口音和流利度的人应该为自己感到非常自豪。

Now this next segment of the video.

This next habit has been sponsored by lingoda.

And this is so relevant especially in these strange times where so many of us are having to spend so much more time at home alone.

You can take advantage of this extra spare time right now, and take a proper English class with a native speaking qualified teacher every single day.

你们正好可以利用这额外的课余时间每天跟有资质的母语老师好好上英语课。

而且已经有超过3万人参加了之前的 lingoda 语言挑战。

The other habit that I recommend to do with working out as well is if you like walking and running, or you want to get into walking and running, listen to audiobooks whilst do this.

我推荐跟锻炼一起做的习惯就是，如果你喜欢走路和跑步，或者想要开始走路或跑步，请在这个过程中听有声书。

Maybe you could listen to a learning English audiobook.

And this actually brings me on to number five, which is multitasking.

There's so much more that you can do whilst listening to audiobooks or other things, maybe radio programs, podcasts, anything that you want to listen to in English.

你在听有声书或别的东西，也许是电台节目，播客，任何你想用英语听的内容，的时候有很多别的事情可以做。

Do it whilst doing something else, whilst you're hoovering, whilst you're cooking, whilst you're cleaning, whilst you're working from home.

在做其他事情的时候听，开车的时候，做饭的时候，做清洁的时候，居家工作的时候。

There are just so many opportunities to add an audio element into your daily life.

有很多机会可以在日常生活中加入音频元素。

And if you do it every single day, ah, you'll be picking up on so much pronunciation, on so much vocabulary and so much additional knowledge as well.

如果你每天都这样做，啊，你会学会很多发音、词汇和额外的知识。

And now for my last habit number six.

It is participate and discuss.

And I'm talking about joining forums that are relevant to you places where you can have genuine written conversations about topics that interest you.

Don't get me wrong.

There are some terrible things as well, but forums like relationship advice, ask men, ask women, legal advice, malicious compliance, I'll link down to them, but they're all forums where people post their problems and other people respond.

那里也有一些糟糕的东西，但是像关系建议、男性问题、女性问题、法律建议、恶意遵守这样的论坛，这些论坛上面人们会发布他们的问题，而其他人会回答。

You can read and improve your reading skills and absorb new vocabulary.

You can mention excuse my English, I'm not native and in brackets say if anyone wants to correct me, I'd be so happy.
