Skills to Memorize the Words
     Keep a vocabulary notebook. When you learn a new word, add it to your notebook, and write down a sentence that will help you remember how to use the word.
     Use a learner's dictionary. There are several excellent dictionaries for learners of English. These provide simple definitions and sample sentences to help you learn new words.
     Choose words that are important to you. When you study topics and words that you are interested in, you remember them better.
     Group words by topic to remember them. It is easier to study new words when you organize them into groups like foods or action verbs.
     Make flashcards to study your new words. Put one English word on each card, an(then put either the translation or the English definition on the back.After you study the words, review them quickly to see how many words you remember.
     Use new words as many times as possible in your daily life. The best way to learn and remember new words is to use them when you speak or write.Try using at least one new English word every day.
     Learn synonyms for new words. A synonym is a word that means the same thing is another word. You can expand your vocabulary by learning synonyms for your new English words.For example, "small" is a synonym for "little".
     Learn antonym for new words. An antonym is a word that means the opposite of another word. Learning an antonym for each new word can help you increase your vocabulary, too.For example, "bad" is an antonym for "good".
     Study word roots. Many English words have Latin roots. When you learn one root, you can often learn many new words.For example, the Latin root "port" means "to carry",and this root is found in many English words like the following: export, import, and transport.
     Learn prefixes.Prefixes are small groups of letters that you put in front of words to give them different meanings.For example, you can put in-, un-, or non- in front of many adjectives to give them a negative or an opposite meaning. The word "flexible" describes a person or thing that can change or be changed easily. So "inflexible" means just the opposite.
     Learn how to pronounce each new word. An important part of using new English words effectively is learning how to pronounce them. As you know, many English words do niot sund the way you think they will!
     巧記英語(yǔ)單詞
     準(zhǔn)備一個(gè)專門記憶詞匯的筆記本。一旦學(xué)會(huì)了一個(gè)新單詞,就將它寫進(jìn)筆記本,然后再添加一句話,以便使自己能很好地掌握這個(gè)單詞。
     使用為英語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí)者編寫的詞典?,F(xiàn)在有很多專為學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)的人編寫的詞典,這些詞典提供簡(jiǎn)單的注釋和例句,有助于你掌握新單詞。
     選擇對(duì)你來(lái)說(shuō)重要的單詞。當(dāng)你學(xué)習(xí)自己感興趣的主題和單詞時(shí),總可以記憶得更好一些。
     通過(guò)主題來(lái)記憶單詞。當(dāng)你將生詞分類記憶的時(shí)候,例如,把食品類和動(dòng)作類單詞放在一起,這樣記起來(lái)就會(huì)容易一些。
     用卡片來(lái)幫助記憶生詞。在每張卡片上寫下一個(gè)英語(yǔ)單詞,在其背面寫下它的中文意思或英文解釋。學(xué)完之后很快復(fù)習(xí),以檢測(cè)自己到底記得多少。
     在日常生活中盡可能多地使用新學(xué)的單詞。的學(xué)習(xí)和記憶生詞的辦法就是在自己說(shuō)和寫的過(guò)程中不斷使用它們。每天至少試著使用一個(gè)新學(xué)的英語(yǔ)單詞。
     在學(xué)習(xí)新單詞的時(shí)候掌握它的同義詞。同義詞是指與另一個(gè)詞意思相同的詞。學(xué)習(xí)同義詞可以幫助你擴(kuò)大詞匯量,例如,"small"和"little'“就是兩個(gè)同義詞。
     掌握新單詞的反義詞。反義詞指意思與另一詞相反的詞。學(xué)反義詞同樣也可以幫助你增加詞匯量,例如,"bad'和“ good'就是兩個(gè)反義詞。
     學(xué)習(xí)詞根。很多英語(yǔ)單詞都有拉丁詞根。一個(gè)詞根可以幫助你學(xué)會(huì)很多單詞,如,拉丁詞根"port"意為“攜帶”,這個(gè)詞根出現(xiàn)在許多英語(yǔ)單詞中,如export(出口),import(進(jìn)口),transport(傳輸)等。
     學(xué)習(xí)前綴。前綴是指置于單詞前面的字母組合,它們可以表達(dá)不同的意義。例如,很多形容詞前面加in-,un-,或是non-,表示否定或與該形容詞意義相反。"flexible"指人或是物可以很靈活地變化,因此“inflexible”就指的是意思正好相反,即“僵硬”。
     學(xué)會(huì)新單詞的發(fā)音。有效使用新單詞的一個(gè)很重要的組成部分就是掌握它的發(fā)音。正如你知道的,許多英語(yǔ)單詞并不像你認(rèn)為的那樣發(fā)音。
