到了国外,就能深切感受到自己与其他非英语系国家的人相比,英文说得有多么不好了。明明买了好多英语会话书、反覆练习了各种句型,却仍苦于说不出理想的英语,这样的学习者还真是不在少数。而造成这问题的主要原因之一,就是因为「大家其实都盲目地记了一堆与自己毫无关连的句型和词汇」。
非英语母语人士学英语之所以觉得口说部分很困难,原因正是「无法谈论与自己有关的话题」,毕竟大家以往几乎没有「整理与自身相关的话题,并加以输出的机会」。
而本书便是以这种彻底「整理与输出」解决方案为重要课题来进行制作。全书精选自我介绍最常触及的100个话题,以「连续提问」的对话形式、「自问自答」的练习,并提供「多种回应说法」等特色,和坊间同类书籍形成明显区隔。
本书的第一个特色是:模拟出国时的情境,做成一个人也能充分练习的式在这方面,我们特别着重于独自培养「整理自己+输出(开口说出)整理后内容」的能力。请以书中丰富的提示内容为基础,用自己的话将关于自己的所有事统整为笔记。而在书里,我们连笔记空间都替读者准备好了。
此外,本书附赠的 MP3还会以道地的英语不断向读者提出「有关您自身的问题」。请各位假装自己正在和来自英语系国家的外国友人对话,并务必于发问后 5 秒内回答完毕。透过这样的练习,读者便能利用本书进行彷彿置身海外、临场感十足又确实有效的英语会话练习。
另外,请记得先运用本书的各个单元,不断反覆针对各类事项来「整理自己」。若少了这么扎实的动作,就绝对无法在突发状况下,将自己的话转化为英语,并自然地脱口而出。
本书的第二特色则是:有别于以往的英语会话练习书,我们提供的是能拓展会话内容的练习方式。本书不採一问一答的演练形式,而是在读者回答完一个问题后,由英语道地的外国朋友继续不断地丢出问题。只要反覆进行这样两阶段的提问训练,相信读者的回应力,甚至是发问力,都会大幅跃进。若本书能提升读者的英语应答力,还能进一步酝酿出您更积极活跃的英语会话力的话,那就是编辑全体最大的快乐了。
最后,在此向为本书出版、编辑工作尽心尽力的伙伴们,包括 ASK 出版社社长天谷修平先生、影山洋子小姐,以及编辑梅村知未小姐等诸多工作人员,致上最诚挚的谢意。

长尾和夫
This book, *About Me: Show Yourself, Make a Good Impression!* (Book + 1 MP3), is an absolute game-changer for anyone who feels like they’re not quite nailing that crucial first impression. I’ve always been someone who struggles to articulate my strengths, especially in professional settings. Networking events would leave me feeling flustered, and job interviews felt like navigating a minefield of potential missteps. I’d prepare answers, but when the moment came, my mind would go blank, or I’d end up rambling, underselling myself. This book, however, provides a structured and incredibly practical approach to understanding your own value and then presenting it effectively. It’s not just about spouting off achievements; it’s about understanding the *narrative* of your experiences and how to weave them into a compelling story that resonates with others. The exercises are thoughtfully designed, pushing you to dig deeper than surface-level descriptions. For instance, instead of just listing responsibilities in a previous role, it prompts you to think about the *impact* of those responsibilities and the *skills* you developed. This shift in perspective is fundamental and something I hadn't really considered before. The MP3 component is also a fantastic addition, allowing you to practice your delivery and get a feel for how your words sound when spoken, which is vital for building confidence. I’ve found myself feeling significantly more prepared and self-assured in situations where I previously would have been riddled with anxiety. It's a relief to have a tangible guide that empowers you to feel genuinely good about how you present yourself.
评分Honestly, before picking up *About Me: Show Yourself, Make a Good Impression!* (Book + 1 MP3), I’d often feel like I was walking into important conversations with my hands tied behind my back. My self-introduction in professional contexts felt like a generic, forgettable script. I’d see others effortlessly charm their way through introductions, leaving me wondering what their secret was. This book, though, feels like it’s demystifying that whole process. It doesn’t just offer platitudes; it dives into the psychology behind making a positive impression, breaking down the elements of authenticity, confidence, and clarity. The way it encourages you to identify your unique selling points and then translate them into engaging talking points is brilliant. I especially appreciated the sections on non-verbal communication and active listening. It’s not just about what you say, but how you say it and how you interact with the other person. The MP3 is invaluable for practicing these nuances. Being able to hear yourself speak, to identify awkward pauses or overly rapid speech, is a game-changer. It’s like having a personal coach guiding you through each step. I’ve noticed a tangible difference in how people respond to me now. Conversations feel more dynamic, and I feel like I’m genuinely connecting with people rather than just going through the motions. It’s an investment in yourself that pays dividends immediately.
评分This isn't just another generic self-help book; *About Me: Show Yourself, Make a Good Impression!* (Book + 1 MP3) is a deep dive into the art of effective personal branding, presented in a remarkably accessible and actionable way. For years, I’d heard that you need to "sell yourself," but I never really knew *how*. My attempts often felt forced and inauthentic, leaving me feeling more discouraged than confident. This book, however, breaks down the process into manageable, understandable steps. It’s not about being boastful; it’s about strategic self-awareness and clear articulation. The author’s approach to identifying your unique narrative – your "why" – is particularly powerful. It encourages you to connect your experiences to your aspirations, creating a cohesive and compelling story. The exercises are engaging, prompting reflection that goes beyond simple bullet points. I’ve found myself reassessing past situations and realizing the hidden strengths and skills I possessed all along. The MP3 is an absolute godsend for practicing. Being able to hear your own delivery, to gauge your tone, and to refine your pacing is crucial for turning written strategies into confident spoken presentations. It’s like having a personalized coaching session readily available. I’ve already noticed a significant shift in how people perceive me. Conversations feel more engaged, and I feel a newfound ease in expressing my value.
评分Let me tell you, *About Me: Show Yourself, Make a Good Impression!* (Book + 1 MP3) has been a revelation. I’ve always been the quiet one, the one who, when asked to introduce myself, would stammer out a few basic facts and then shrink back. The thought of making a "good impression" felt like an insurmountable task. This book, however, has completely changed my perspective. It’s not about creating a fake persona; it’s about discovering and amplifying your authentic self in a way that resonates with others. The author’s approach is incredibly empathetic and practical. They understand the anxieties that come with self-introduction and provide tools to overcome them. I particularly found the sections on storytelling to be incredibly helpful. Learning how to weave personal experiences into a narrative that highlights your skills and strengths, without sounding like you’re bragging, is a delicate art that this book teaches masterfully. The exercises are designed to be introspective and empowering, encouraging you to identify your unique qualities and how they can benefit others. The accompanying MP3 is a brilliant addition, allowing you to practice your introductions and get comfortable with your own voice. Hearing myself speak through the MP3 has helped me identify areas for improvement and build genuine confidence. I’ve noticed a marked difference in my interactions; people seem more engaged, and I feel a newfound sense of ease and self-assurance.
评分My experience with *About Me: Show Yourself, Make a Good Impression!* (Book + 1 MP3) has been nothing short of transformative. As someone who has historically shied away from the spotlight, feeling awkward about self-promotion, this book has provided a much-needed framework for stepping out of my comfort zone with grace and conviction. It’s meticulously crafted, guiding you through a journey of self-discovery and effective communication without ever feeling overly prescriptive or artificial. The emphasis on authenticity is particularly striking; it doesn't encourage you to invent a persona but rather to uncover and articulate the genuine strengths and passions that already exist within you. The practical exercises, which delve into everything from identifying your core values to crafting compelling anecdotes, are incredibly insightful. I particularly found the advice on tailoring your message to different audiences to be invaluable. The included MP3 is an excellent complement, offering a platform for practicing your delivery and refining your spoken introductions. Hearing my own voice and practicing the techniques outlined in the book has significantly boosted my confidence. I no longer dread opportunities to introduce myself; instead, I approach them with a sense of readiness and excitement. This book has empowered me to present myself in a way that is both professional and deeply personal, leading to more meaningful interactions and a more positive reception from those I meet.
