用英语学英语口语：holiday &
amp; vacation“假期假期”的英语口语练习
在咱们学习英语的路途上，学会“用英语说明英语”真的是一项被咱们长时刻严峻忽略了你的重要英语言语技能和才能。
可是，从更细化的视点讲，把“用英语说明英语”只是作为“用英语说明英语”学习和把“用英语说明英语”作为“英语口语练习”仍是有不易被人发觉和区别开来的不一样的。
咱们是要把“用英语说明英语”作为“用英语说明英语”看，但咱们更要偏重把“用英语说明英语”作为“英语口语练习”看待，咱们的英语才会愈加“收成倍增”。
以holiday%20&%20vacation二词为例。
假定咱们不想练习英语口语，也不想晓得二词的英语意思，咱们只想“晓得”这两个英语词的中辞意思，那么，咱们只需要记住holiday是“假期”，vacation是“假期”即可。关于习气或许还处于“用中文学英语”的学习者，能做到这一步一般感触“收成也挺大”的了。
1)%20URead%20领会英语：
What%20is%20vacation?
1.%20A%20period%20of%20time%20devoted%20to%20pleasure,%20rest,%20or%20relaxation,%20especially%20one%20with%20pay%20granted%20to%20an%20employee.
2.a.%20A%20holiday.
b.%20A%20fixed%20period%20of%20holidays,%20especially%20one%20during%20which%20a%20school,%20court,%20or%20business%20suspends%20activities.
3.To%20take%20or%20spend%20a%20vacation.
咱们凭仗这段“英语说明英语”，获得的就不单单止读了一段“英语说明英语，然后再把这段英语说明英语翻译成中文了解”，咱们还可以用来做“用英语说英语口语”练习了。
2)%20URalk%20自个跟自个说英语，运用英语：
这是个“风趣的标题”，让我想起了我早年给我的美国学生教中文时有一次他冷不丁问
我：中文“假期”和“假期”有啥不一样？
我记住作为我国人现已几十年的我也一下“蒙圈”了：是呀，你要说“假期假期”这两个汉字我会不会用。我每天用，常常用，一般不会用错。可是，我还真没细心留心二者怎么差异。
1. 读到vacation,a. A holiday时，说英语：
So I know a vacation is a holiday, and a holiday is a vacation.
这段简略的英语口语(自我创造英语口语环境说出来的英语口语却很怅惘的被许多说想学英语口语的人忽略掉了！)
2. 读到vacation：To take or spend a vacation时，咱们自个跟自个说英语“运用英语”：
OK.When we use the word"vacation", we can say I take a vacation, or I spend a vacation, or I have a vacation.
这不是在"练口语"吗？只不过是"自个跟自个练"算了。
一般太多时分，咱们不要苛求有人陪你我练口语(外部英语言语环境)，很抱负但也很骨感。咱们更多的时分只能自个靠自个(创造言语环境)。
3. 读到a period of time devoted to pleasure, rest, or relaxation, especially one with pay granted to an employee时，根柢理解holiday和vacation的不一样了。“运用英语”：
OK. When we say we are taking a vacation, we mean we are taking a rest from our work,or having a leave of absence from our work, but,but,but(留心，“亮点词”来了) we will still get paid by our boss for taking this vacation.
不必英语学英语，你学过的vacation和近义词a leave if absence就“走不到一块去”归类回想。
有人会立马说：不对，也有No pay的！
咱们不做这个纠结，咱们关怀的只是你只需会“运用英语”I get paid for my vacation，会说英语就好。
4. 读到A fixed period of holidays, especially one during which a school, court, or business suspends activities时，“运用英语”：
留心，这时分的用词就是vacation，不是holiday了。
OK.When we say the schools and colleges and universities are CLOSED for students to take a long rest ,or a long break from going to school, we mean it is a vacation, it is not a holiday.
We
have the sumner vacation, and winter vacation. We do not say summer holilday or winter holiday.
这样?怠庇⒂锞筒恢皇鞘恰坝⒂锼得饔⒂铩保且桓觥拔⒙厶釺opic”了。
Holiday呢？
2) UTalk 自个跟自个说英语，运用英语：
Well a holiday usually means a PUBLIC holiday,is short for(简称)a public holiday.For example. Saturday and Sunday are holidays,or public holidays.The New Year's Day is a holiday, or a public holiday,not a vacation.Christmas is a holiday.Thanksgiving is a holiday. The Spring Festival in China(必定要加in China哟，否则Spring Festival/Break在美国指学校“春假”) is a holiday, or a public holiday.The Dragon Boat Festival in China is a holiday.
这真的就是在操练英语口语，而不只是是“用英语说明英语”。
最终，记住这句“英语口语”吧：
Well a (public) holiday is the time when all schools and universities and all governments are closed,like Saturday and Sunday. We call this BREAK time a holiday, it is not a vacation.
