English songs have been very popular for people around the world for many decades. From Elvis Presley to Ricky Martin , from the Beattles to Eminen and from Natalie cole to Britney Spears have all been sitting in everyones heart, even for people who dont speak English.... even for people who speak zero English.
英文歌曲风靡全世界已经很长时间了，从猫王到瑞奇马丁;从披头士到阿姆;从娜塔莉高到布兰妮斯皮尔斯这些巨星甚至占迷倒了那些根本不讲英语的人。
Should you have better English skills if you listen to English songs for a long time. From my experiences, some people listen to English songs for 20-30 years but still dont accomplish any good English skills. Some people choose English songs to be the main learning approach, which most are failed.
多听英文歌就能提高英语水平吗据我所知，有些人听了二三十年的英文歌，但英语还是不怎么好。有些人甚至把听歌作为学英语的主要途径，然而大多数都失败了。
Listenning to English songs does not help you to speak English fluently. It does help you gain some vocabularies but, yet, most of them are unusual ones that you dont use in your everyday life. You wont learn the sentence It is a complicate project. We really need to meet the deadline. in any English songs All you will hear are only love, passion, infection, hate and blue, for the feeling not the color.
听英文歌并不能让你讲一口流利的英语。虽然听歌的确能增加你的词汇量，但是这些词汇中的大部分都是日常生活中不怎么常用的。比如你在任何英文歌里都不可能听到这个句子：It is a complicate project. We really need to meet the deadline. 你能听到的只有关于爱、恨、激情、郁闷之类的词汇。
People like using English songs to practice English skill because its easy and enjoy. They think that sitting in the car listenning to English song day by day can improve their English skills. It is actually not. You will definitely not improve your listenning skill becasue normal people dont speak with melody. People dont talk like Eminen song. You cant get yourself familiar with English pronunciation or accent just from listenning to English songs. The words that they pronouce in the songs are not the words that you will hear in your everyday life. Its oftenly even confused you more how English is pronouced.
大家喜欢听英文歌来学习英语是因为这是一种简单、享受的方式。有些人以为天天坐在车里听听歌就能学好英语，其实这是不可能的。因为正常人说话是不带音调的。人们说话和唱歌是很不一样的。如果你只是听英文歌，你就不会熟悉英语语音语调。其次，你在英文歌里听到的词在日常生活中也不会常用。甚至，还有可能干扰你的英文发音。
扩展：查行文的一致性
通过分析近几年NMET中的短文改错题，笔者认为约百分之五十的错误设置与行文的一致性有关。因此，答题时查文章在行文中是否保持一致是发现错误并加以纠正的一个重要突破口。在寻查错误时，必须打破行的界限，通篇考虑， 起码也要以一个完整的句子为单位。下面笔者就以近几年的高考试题为例，谈谈把哪几个方面 作为突破口去查寻行文不一致的错误。
一、查时态是否一致
时态错误几乎是每年NMET短文改错中必设的改错题。要有目的地去检查文中的每一个谓语动词的时态与上下文、语境以及该句的时间状语是否相符和一致。例如：
1.Today, it is much easier to be healthy than it is inthe past. (NMET 93) is 应改为was，使之与时间状语in the past一致。
2.I had always wanted to return to the village aftermoving away. And it is really grea t to see most of my oldfriends again. (NMET 95)is 应改为was，与前面分句的时态一致。
3.They offered me coffee and other drinks. We have a goodtime talking and laughing together .(NMET 96)have与前面句子中offered时态不一致，应改为had。
4.Hello, I learn about you from my English teacher, MissFang.(NMET97)learn(得知)在这里不是表示一个经常发生的动作，应改为过去时learned1。(本来此处还可改为have learned， 由于短文改错 题 要求，每行只允许改一个错误，故have learned不能接受。)
5.My favourite sport is football.I was a member of ourfootball team.(NMET98)全文都是用的一般现在时，此句中的was显然与上下文语境不符，应改为am。
6.Last Sunday, police cars hurry to the taller buildingin New York(NMET 92)hurry应改为 hurried，才可与时间状语lastSunday一致。
二、查主谓是否一致
在检查谓语动词的时态和语态是否正确的同时，还要注意检查该动词在人称和数上是否与主语保持了一致 。例如：
1.Anyone may borrow books, and it cost nothing to borrowthem. (NMET 94)cost应改为costs，因其主语是it(为形式主语)，且上下文均为一般现在时。
2.The new boy or girl in school quickly become one of theclass(NMET93)由or连接的两个以上的主语应由靠近谓语的主语来决定谓语的单复数形式，故become应改为becomes。
3.Playing football not onlybut also give us a sense2 offair play and team spirit3. ( N MET98) 此句的主语是playingfootball，视为第三人称单数，其谓语give应改为gives。
4.There are branch4 library in many villages.(NMET94) 句中主语 library应改为复数形式libraries ，因为前面是there are，主谓应一致。主谓语一致的情况较为复杂，考生平时学习要留心归纳。有些特殊句式的主谓一致问题很容易被忽视，如倒装句、关系代词在定语从句中作主语的情况等，答题时要高度重视。
三、查指代是否一致
对于短文中出现的每一个代词都要查一下它所指代的内容以及在句中的作用，注意其数、格、词性是否正确和前后一致，包括人称代词、指标代词、反身代词、关系代词以及疑问代词等。指代错误也是高考改错题中 常设的改错题。例如：
1.We climb everywhere, not only in America. They havebeen to Europe(NMET92)根据上下文，句中的They属指代不一致，应改为We。
2.The game speaks for themselves.( MET90) 句中的反身代词themselves 应改为单数itself，因为指 代的是单数主语the game。
3.And I cant forget the food you cooked for I.(NMET95)人称代词在作介词的宾语时用宾格，I应改 为me。
4.The Smiths did his best to make me feel at home.(NMET96)句子的主语the Smiths表示的是复数概 念史密斯一家人，故其指代词应该用第三人称复数their而不是his。
5.I live in Beijing, where is the capital of China.(NMET97)关系副词where在引导定语从句 时不可作主语，应将其改为关系代词which。
6.The sport teaches us the importance5 of obedience6. Eachplayer must obey the captain, who is the leader of the team.And they must not break the rules too often if we want to winthe gam e.(NMET98)纵观全篇短文，都是用的第一人称。这里突然冒出一个第三人称they，显然不一致，应改为we。
四、查平行结构是否平行一致
由and，or，but，eitheror，neithernor，not only but also， as well as等并列连词和词 组连接的结构可称为平行结构。平行结构在词性、时态、非谓语动词的形式上往往要求前后一致。答题时要留心平行结构前后是否对等平行，这也是常设的错误。例如：
1.Modern people know，have better food，and to live incleaner surroundings7.(NMET93)应将 to live前的to删掉，因为and连接的是know，have，live三个并列平行的谓语动词，其时态和形式必须一致。
2.He said it was best to stay until help arrived ratherthan go into the forest and get ting lost.(NMET91) go andgetting显然不平行，应 将getting改为get。
3.It was very kind of them to meet me at the railwaystation and drove8 me to their home .(NMET96)句中的drove显然与and前面的to meet不平行，应改为drive。
五、查名词的单复数与修饰词语或上下文是否一致
名词数的错误也是高考常设的改错题。要查一下名词是否可数，与其修饰语是否一致。例如：
1.They have been to Europe many time. (NMET92)time(次)显然与修饰语many不一致，应改为tim es。
2.(They) asked me lots of question.(NMET96)question 是可数名词，其修饰词是lots of，当然应 该用复数questions。
3.We study quite a few subject, such as maths, Chinese (NMET97) quite a few 只能修饰复数名 词，故subject 应改为subjects。
4.(We) often watch football match on TV together.(NMET98)根据上下文和该句中的often来判 断，句中的match 应该是matches。
六、查行文逻辑是否一致
查这方面的错误应从文章整体内容出发，通篇考虑，以行为单位是难以发现这种错误的。逻辑不一致主要 是由肯定与否定、关联词语以及动词(如come与 go，take与bring)的误用所造成的，应多从这方面去查找。例如：
1.Most people can quickly get help from a doctor or go toa hospital since they are ill.(NM ET93)根据行文逻辑，这里不应该由since来引导原因状语从句，而应该是when/whenever或if来引导时间或 条件状语从句。
2.We tried to fix it and there was nothing we could do. (NMET91) 根据行文逻辑，表示并列关系 的and 应改为表示转折关系的but。
