在italki提出好問題，提升英語沒問題

Having answered many English language questions on italki over the last year, I can see how well students benefit from them. I've also learned a lot in the process about my own language and how to teach it. At the same time, I've sometimes seen students (and also teachers and tutors) not use the italki Questions optimally. In this article, I've come up with some ideas to help you ask good questions and hopefully get good answers.

過去幾年里,，我已經(jīng)在italki上回答了許多和英語相關(guān)的問題,，而且也看到許多學生從這些問題中獲益匪淺。我也 從自己的學習經(jīng)歷和教學過程中學到了許多,。同時,，我也看到許多學生（包括老師）沒有充分利用italki提問這個功能。這篇文章我會教大家一些辦法,，幫助大家提出好問題,，希望能夠得到好的答案。

I am grateful to Ruthi, a very experienced italki teacher, for her additional comments and feedback on this article, which I have incorporated.

非常感謝Ruthi,，她是italki的資深教師,，她的評論和反饋也會體現(xiàn)在本文之中,。

好問題的三個關(guān)鍵

• Give context so teachers can give an accurate answer.

        提供情境,，讓老師可以提供更準確的答案

• Be specific.

        問題要具體,。

• Make an effort to answer your own question first so that you learn more and learn better.

        首先要嘗試回答自己提出的問題，這樣你學得又快又好,。

Grammar Questions

語法問題

The following is a good question:

以下舉個例子告訴大家什么是好的問題：

Why is the present continuous used in this sentence and not the present simple:

為什么下面這句句子用的是現(xiàn)在進行時而不是一般現(xiàn)在時：

"I am brushing my teeth so can you wait a few minutes, please?"?

“我在刷牙,，所以請你等我?guī)追昼娦袉幔俊?/span>

Now, here is a “l(fā)ess good” question:

下面這個問題“不怎么好”：

What is the difference between the present simple and present continuous?

一般現(xiàn)在時和現(xiàn)在進行時有什么不同,？

為什么呢,？

The first question is a good one because it relates to a specific context. Tutors can therefore give a comprehensive and accurate answer. On the other hand, the second question is incredibly wide; whole chapters of grammar books are devoted to this theme and a simple Google search (for example: "present continuous simple") yields a huge number of relevant results within a few seconds. If a teacher or tutor answers a wide question like this, it's unlikely to be as comprehensive as a standard grammar book or coursebook and may not address your precise language difficulty.

第一個問題很不錯，因為這個問題是有具體語境的,。老師也會因此給出詳細而準確地的回答。相反,，第二個問題十分寬泛,；語法書上可以有一個章節(jié)專門探討這個問題。如果你用谷歌搜索一下（比如現(xiàn)在進行時）,，幾秒鐘就會顯示無數(shù)個答案,。如果老師接到的是這么一個寬泛的問題，可能不會像語法書或者教科書那樣詳細,，而且也不一定說在你的語言難點上,。

Vocabulary Questions

詞匯問題

A good question could be something like this:

好的問題是長這樣的：

What does the word "fence" mean in the following extract: [quote it in full]?

Fence在這句話當中是什么意思：【完整摘錄這句話】,？

It's important to include contextual information, especially the paragraph where you found the word and the kind of book. For example: a novel, an academic book about economics, pop lyrics, etc.

提供語境是非常重要的,，尤其要提供你在一本書或者文章中找到的一個段落。比如：一本小說,，經(jīng)濟學教科書,，流行歌詞等等。

Even better, you could also check the word in a dictionary, guess the meaning yourself, and explain how you reached your conclusion. In my experience, people who do this are often right, and this can help you grow in confidence and independence. If you're not right but we can see your reasoning, we can then give you a more focused answer.

最好你可以自己查詞典,，猜一下詞的意思,，然后解釋下為什么是這個意思。從我的經(jīng)驗來看,，這么做的人通常會猜對,，而且這個辦法可以幫助你提升自信心和獨立思考能力。如果你猜的不對,，我們也可以看到你的邏輯,，我們可以給你一個更有針對性的回答。

A “less good” question could be:

下面這個問題“不怎么好”：

What's the difference between "book" and "house"?

“book”和“house”有什么區(qū)別,？

I know it's a stupid example (and not a real one), but it illustrates a point: if the ordinary meanings of two words are very different, then a conceptual discussion about their differences is probably not going to help anyone very much. On the other hand, words can have different meanings in different contexts, and these differences may not be at all clear. In this case, we can help you best if you provide this context.

我知道這個問題挺愚蠢的（不是真的有人提的這個問題）,，但這也說明了一個問題,，如果兩個詞字面意思就很不同，那么討論他們概念上的不同也不會對你有多大的幫助,。相反,，詞匯在不同的語境中都會有不同的含義，而且這些不同不是顯而易見的,。如果你能夠提供語境的話,，我們可以更好幫助你回答。

如何發(fā)問

Here are some typical ways to ask a question:

下面是幾個典型的提問方法

What is the difference between “X” and “Y”?

X和Y有什么不同,？

What does “X” mean?

X的意思是什么？

When do people use this word "X"?

什么時候用X這個詞,？

Is "X" used formally or informally in this sentence: "..."?

X在這句話之中是正式還是非正式的意思,？

How should I pronounce "X"?

X應該如何發(fā)音？

common and wrong way is:

常見錯誤提問如下：

How to say "X"?  

如何表達X,？

**A question word followed by an infinitive is never correct in interrogatory questions, but it is possible in embedded questions or titles, such as the title of this article.

**問題緊跟不定式的疑問句形式是不對的,。當然如果后面接一個問題或者文章的標題可能會是例外。

Another common and wrong way is simply to write:

另外一種常見的錯誤形式可以這樣寫：

"Present perfect use"

“現(xiàn)在完成時的使用”

These are not questions and though we may sometimes be able to guess the point, it's not clear, it's not polite, and the information wanted is probably too general. See paragraph above.

這些不能算是問題,，雖然這樣寫出來我們稍微猜出你想要問什么。但這樣的提問表達顯然不夠清楚,，也不禮貌,。提供的信息十分寬泛?？匆幌律厦娴奈恼?。

老師的不同意見

Two heads are better than one, but unfortunately, tutors do not always agree on their answers; deciding who is right in this case can be a difficult task. There is no foolproof solution, but there are two possible strategies:

兩個人總好過一個人思考，不過在italki的答疑區(qū),，老師經(jīng)常意見相左,；誰是對的呢，決定比較難,。沒有萬全之策,，不過有兩個對策可以用一下：

Ask all teachers who answered which answer they think is best.

告訴老師哪個答案哪個老師覺得最對。

Check the profiles of the teachers to see who has the most teaching experience.

查一下老師的背景資料,，看誰的教學經(jīng)驗最豐富,。

美英/英英的不同

I have to make a confession here: on a few occasions, I have corrected students who have used US slang or words which are particular to the US, but which I have never seen before. US teachers have then added their contributions, my ignorance has been revealed, and I have eaten humble pie. Occasionally, I have seen the reverse, and US teachers have been unaware of standard UK usages of particular words or expressions.

在這里先要跟大家坦白：曾經(jīng)我?guī)蛯W生改正過一些只有在美語中使用的俚語,，因為我沒有看到過,。美國老師也獻計獻策，我知識的盲點也體現(xiàn)出來了,，只能低頭謝罪,。不過我也有看到過類似的情況,，美國的老師也沒有意識到正宗的英式英語用法的表達和詞組。

In grammar, the differences between US and UK usages are few and minor; however, there are many national differences in slang, some of which are commonly known in both countries and some of which are not. Also, some other words which are not slang are local to only one country. Some words have different shades of meaning or additional usages in only one country. Hopefully, enough tutors will answer so that confusion is avoided, but if you're not sure, ask. I acknowledge that there are variations in other English-speaking countries too, but I mention the US and the UK only because the differences between them are the most frequently mentioned.

在語法知識點上,，美語和英語的差別甚微,。不過兩種英語在俚語方面的使用很不同，有的眾人皆知,，有的不盡然,。有的詞語有多重含義，在有些地區(qū)甚至有特殊的含義,。我們當然希望輔導老師有足夠能力避免這樣的困惑,。不過如果你有疑慮，請?zhí)釂?。我承認在其他一些英語國家同樣有著一些不同,，但是我這里以英國和美國來舉例是因為，這兩國國家的區(qū)別是被提及最多的,。

考試和練習方面的問題

A common type of question is something like this:

通常這方面的問題可以這樣問：

Describe an older person who you admire.

請描述一個你仰慕的長者

Invariably this is an exam question and we can imagine that the student wants an answer they themselves can use or adapt. Sometimes students simply copy and paste a gap-fill exercise and ask for answers. If you need help answering an exam question (for example, an IELTS speaking topic) or an exercise from a coursebook, I recommend that you attempt to answer it yourself first and ask us to check and correct your answers.

顯而易見，這是一個考試中出現(xiàn)的問題,，學生想要一個可以用或者修改一下用上去的答案。有時候?qū)W生只是想要復制粘貼填空題,，然后求解答,。如果你想要得到一道考試題目的大難（比如雅思考試的口語題）或者練習冊上的題目，我建議你先自己回答一下,，然后再求助別人看看你答得對不對,。

In this way, we can see more clearly your language issues, you will learn more deeply, it will take us less time to answer, and it's also more satisfying for us. Teachers want to teach, and simply giving their students the right answers is not teaching, nor will it help them to learn very much. Sometimes students post questions related to exams that they are due to take very shortly. Again, they may be tempted to just want the right answer and not to learn. Learning a language is a long process which takes time for new information to sink in.

這樣的話，你的語言問題就更顯而易見,，你學到的知識就更深刻,，我們解答所需要的時間也更少，對我們來說更有成就感,。老師想要教學,，僅僅告訴學生答案不是教學，也幫不到學生學到知識,。有時候?qū)W生會問一些考試馬上就要考到的問題,。他們很想要一個答案而不是學為什么是這個答案。語言學習是一個漫長的過程,，需要時間慢慢消化知識,。

我覺得下面的一些問題表明學生沒有好好用italki問問題：

Corrections of texts or a large number of practice sentences (use italki Notebook, which also has a better editing capability for tutors)

幫我修改下作文,，或者一大堆寫句子的練習（使用italki筆記本,，老師在上面修改也更容易）

Language exchange requests (use italki Language Partners function)

語言交換的請求（使用italki語言伙伴功能）

Requests for detailed individual guidance, such as for interviews. There are numerous free online guides on how to handle interview questions. For example, if you need more specific advice on your circumstances, you probably need to spend time speaking to someone (for example, me, in an italki session)

特殊情況的指導,，比如面試方面的問題。網(wǎng)上有許許多多關(guān)于面試問題的指導,。如果你需要具體情況具體分析,，最好和某人花時間聊聊（比如可以跟我談談，上一節(jié)課）,。

Teachers and tutors occasionally advertise their services directly by means of an apparent “question." They are not normally the same people who regularly answer questions and should be shot!

有些老師會偶爾通過那些很好回答的“問題”給自己做廣告騙學生上課,。這些人的不同之處在于，他們不經(jīng)?；卮饐栴},，而且他們不應該出現(xiàn)在我們的論壇中。

我理解有許多問題都是學生用自己的母語來提問的,。不過我也注意到這類問題經(jīng)常沒有被回答到。如果這種情況出現(xiàn),，最好用英語再問一遍,。

Saying Thank You

表達感謝

Finally, don't forget to say "thank you" for the answer, even if you think the answer was rubbish (US: garbage)! The internet can be a cold and faceless world, so it's "nice to be nice."

最后，別忘了說“謝謝”,。即便你覺得答得很糟糕,，也應該說謝謝！網(wǎng)絡上可能不顧人情冷暖,，所以大家盡可能要禮貌,。

We all like to help people who are enthusiastic. Keep up the good work!

最后總結(jié)一下,，問題代替不了練習冊,、詞典和同老師面對面的交流。不過你可以從問題中獲得許多知識,，最好你提問夠具體,，在合適的地方提供語境，而且向老師體現(xiàn)出你已經(jīng)查過詞典,，而且理解問題在哪里了,。我們總是希望幫助那些特別好問的學生的。所以大家繼續(xù)努力學習吧,！

最后總結(jié)一下，問題代替不了練習冊,、詞典和同老師面對面的交流,。不過你可以從問題中獲得許多知識，最好你提問夠具體,，在合適的地方提供語境,，而且向老師體現(xiàn)出你已經(jīng)查過詞典，而且理解問題在哪里了,。我們總是希望幫助那些特別好問的學生的,。所以大家繼續(xù)努力學習吧！
