Memorizing words is one of the necessary steps to improve your English proficiency, but if you use inefficient methods, you may waste a lot of time with little effect.
The following will provide efficient suggestions on how to memorize words.
1. Establish a thorough vocabulary book. First, you need to have a thorough vocabulary book. It should include at least basic words, common phrases, and common sentence patterns in daily life.
Before using this vocabulary book, it is best to classify the words; for example, arrange them in alphabetical order, by common use, or by theme.
At the same time, different vocabulary book formats can also be used, such as paper, e-book, APP, letters, etc.
2. Choose the appropriate method 1. Traditional recitation: When we learn a new word, we can first recite orally its pronunciation, the meaning contained in the word, common phrases or examples, etc. one by one.
For words that are difficult to recognize, you can choose to read and recite them repeatedly, focus on marking key words and prepare to memorize sentence patterns.
Then, you can also use fill-in-the-blank, writing and other exercises to consolidate the knowledge you have learned.
2. Software memory: In modern society, many people like to use mobile APP software to memorize words.
These apps usually provide functions such as alphabetical recitation, graded recitation, and online testing.
It is worth mentioning that some word memorization APPs have professional response neural methods and have developed functions such as recommending English books, movies, and music for different groups of people.
3. Associative memory: Memory science research shows that associative memory can help us remember words more deeply.
For example, when we learn the word "aptitude", we can think of it as a bucket containing delicious food (tude means "tude of something").
Or connect it with the word "apt" (talented, appropriate) with a similar meaning, so that when you memorize the word, you can understand its meaning more deeply.
4. Practical application: Memorizing words is not just for memorizing words, but so that we can use English well in reality.
Therefore, after memorizing words, it is best to practice more and practice your oral expression and writing skills.
3. Perseverance and Consolidation Persistence is very important!
Learning words is futile without the dual factors of careful mastery and consistent application.
Therefore, we need to formulate a word memorization plan and integrate it into our daily life, work or study.
For example, watch English videos every night, read English articles, etc.
At this point, if you want to improve the efficiency of memorizing words, you can consider the above suggestions.
Use different combinations of methods to learn English words and discover the memory method that suits you best.
Of course, memorizing words efficiently requires gradual progress and continuous consolidation.
Through repeated practice and trying to use the words you have learned, you can practice your speaking and writing skills, and finally you can better master the essence of the English language.
