3 Goals You Can Set To Help Improve Your English 🎯 · Learn English with Bob the Canadian
本课介绍三种提升英语的学习目标，包括每日目标、长期目标和针对薄弱技能的目标，帮助你保持动力并持续进步。
So I think it's really important to have goals when you're learning the English language.
因此，我认为在学习英语时设定目标是非常重要的。
I think it's important to decide that you're going to do something
我认为，明确自己打算去做某件事是非常重要的。
so that you can get to a certain point in the future and be very happy with your progress.
这样，你就能在未来达到某个目标，并对自己的进步感到非常满意。
So in this English lesson, I'm going to give you three goals, or
在这节英语课上，我会给你们设定三个学习目标。
actually ideas for how to create three of your own goals based on certain parameters, based on certain,
其实，有一些关于如何根据某些特定参数来设定自己三个目标的想法。
things you can do to achieve those goals.
你可以采取的一些措施来实现这些目标。
So, welcome to this English lesson about setting goals.
欢迎来到这节关于设定目标的英语课程。
Let's look at three goals that you can set so that your English improves for the future.
让我们来看看你可以设定的三个目标，这些目标将有助于你在未来提高英语水平。
The first type of goal I think you should set for yourself is a goal that repeats and eventually has an end.
我认为你应该为自己设定的第一种目标，是一种会不断重复出现、并且最终会有一个明确结束点的目标。
And let me explain by giving you an example.
让我通过一个例子来解释一下。
Let's say you decided to learn one new English word a day for 30 days.
假设你决定在 30 天内每天学习一个新的英语单词。
In that example, the goal has repetition.
在那个例子中，目标具有重复性（即需要多次完成同一任务）。
You're doing it every day and it has an end where you can celebrate because you have achieved the goal.
你每天都在坚持做这件事，最终会达到一个目标，到那时你就可以庆祝了，因为你的目标已经实现了。
A more challenging goal might be to study English for an hour every day for 75 days.
一个更具挑战性的目标可能是：在75天的时间里，每天花一小时学习英语。
You're going to do some reading, writing, listening and speaking every day for 75 days.
在接下来的 75 天里，你每天都需要进行阅读、写作、听力和口语练习。
And then there's two things you need to do if you attempt this.
如果你尝试这样做，那么有两件事是你必须完成的。
Number one, you need to, kind of check off on a calendar every time you actually do your daily work.
首先，每次完成日常工作时，你都需要在日历上做个标记（比如打勾）。
And if you miss a day, you have to start again.
如果你错过了一天的学习时间，就必须重新开始。
So that's the kicker.
所以，这才是关键所在。
In English, when there's a kicker, it's like that's the bad part to this goal and this challenge.
用英语来说，当某个动作（或环节）需要通过“踢球”来完成时，这似乎就是这个进球或这个挑战中最麻烦、最棘手的部分。
So what do you do?
那么，你该怎么办呢？
You decide you're going to do something every day, you're going to learn some kind of English every day,
你决定每天都要做某件事——每天都要学习一些英语知识。
and you're going to do it for a certain number of days.
你将连续这样做一段时间（即特定天数）。
And if you actually do it, you can celebrate and maybe have a bowl of ice cream or another treat.
如果你真的做到了，就可以庆祝一下，或许还可以吃一碗冰淇淋或其他甜点作为奖励。
The second type of goal that I think you should create for yourself is to plan to do
我认为你应该为自己设定的第二种目标是：制定具体的行动计划（即计划要完成的具体事情）。
something far in the future that requires preparation and lots of studying of the English language.
这是发生在遥远未来的某件事情，需要为此做好充分的准备，并且需要深入学习英语语言。
The things that come to mind are things like visiting an English speaking country, taking an English test,
我首先想到的就是去一个英语国家旅行，或者参加英语考试。
or actually committing to hiring an English speaking partner that you're going to meet with online.
或者，干脆决定聘请一位会说英语的合作伙伴，并通过在线方式与他们进行交流/会面。
If you plan to go to an English
如果你打算去一个英语环境较好的地方……
speaking country in three months, if you plan and sign up for and pay for an English test in four months,
如果你计划在四个月内报名参加并支付英语考试的费用，那么三个月后你就能说一口流利的英语了。
if you say in four months I'm going to actually meet with an English conversation partner, your goal then is to prepare for that upcoming event.
如果你说“四个月后我就能真正与一位英语练习伙伴见面”，那么你的目标就是为这一即将到来的事件做好准备。
When you set something far in the future, it's nice to work towards it.
当你把某个目标设定在遥远的未来时，朝着这个目标努力前进确实是一件令人愉快的事情。
If I was planning to go on a trip this winter to a really warm country where I would be at the beach,
如果我打算在这个冬天去一个非常温暖的国家旅行，在那里我可以去海滩玩，
I would definitely try to lose weight and be in good shape
我肯定会努力减肥，让自己保持良好的体型。
if I was walking around in a bathing suit on a beach in the Caribbean somewhere.
如果我穿着泳衣，在加勒比海某个地方的沙滩上漫步的话……
So you can apply the same concept to learning a language.
因此，你可以将同样的原理应用到语言学习中。
So decide on something in the future.
那么，未来还是决定好某件事吧。
A trip, a test, meeting with an English speaking partner.
一次旅行，一次测试，以及与一位说英语的伙伴会面。
I'm sure you can come up with one of your own ideas.
我相信你一定能想出属于自己的主意。
And then your goal then is to prepare for that stressful upcoming event.
那么，你的目标就是为即将到来的这个充满压力的事件做好准备。
