【Leisure chat】How to memorize English words?
|
||
|
My cousin phoned me yesterday. She is a sophomore of Suzhou University. She felt so disheartened and crushed when we came to talk about learning English. As a regular college student, she should pass the College English Test (CET4 or CET6) before the graduation. My cousin took the CET4 3 times; however, she has not passed the CET4.How terrible it is! So she called me for some advice! Actually, I’m not good at learning English. Although I have passed the CET4, CET6 and the English Test for Graduate Admission Examination, I cannot communicate with others freely in English. My cousin said that’s not the point, because she aims to get a good job with a Certificatehas in English rather than to communication. Maybe, most of Chinese student harbor the idea. I think it is a serious problem for Chinese education. I told my cousin that she has to enlarge her vocabulary . In my opinion, you should understand the parts before you get the whole because English is not our native language. My cousin asked me to tell her how to memorize so many words? I didn’t like to learn English when I was an undergraduate. I do have passed the CET4 and CET6, but it only be by the skin of my teeth. And I spent no more than 1-month on memorizing English words and phases before I prepare the Graduate Admission Examination. It’s terrible to face up to thousands of words. It's in human nature to be lazy. As a proverb goes that No thing is difficult to a man who wills. I must pour 6000 words in my head if I want to pass the Graduate Admission Examination of China. Before I tell you how I got it, I want to tell you a secret that I can memorize 10000 words in a month. Certainly,I laid the foundations in the past time, but I didn’t know them before I review them. Actually, there are many interesting stories and connection among most of words. I don’t like to memorize the words with a vocabulary handbook. I am interested in reading English newspapers and magazines.It’s not difficult to found many English websites on the internet. I would note not only the direct new word but also the relevant words on a notebook when I encounter a new word. I’d like to spend no more than 20 minutes to review the words I noted in my notebook, I do not compel myself to memorize them but just read them. It is a fantastic sensation. You would find out you do have remembered them. However, you must stick to it for several weeks before the sensation turning up. You will soon get to like study English, it is not a miracle at all. I’m not a professional a specialist in English linguistics, but it is my real experience of study English. [ Last edited by 帅博士 on 2010-4-7 at 08:43 ] |

It is sort of difficult to memorize a bunch of words for one little competition, especially if you are not the best speller on Earth. But if you want to win, and are willing to make a true effort, these tips will help--guaranteed. Make up creative ways to memorize the words. For an example, the word arithmetic. It sounds fairly hard, right? Well, think of the word this way: A-rat-in-the-house-might-eat-the-ice-cream. Take the first letter of each word and you get: "arithmetic." Now, when that caller with the bulky voice yells, "ARITHMETIC!" you'll know exactly what to spell. 2-Study daily up until the competition. As soon as you get the packet/brochure/sheet with the spelling words listed on them, start studying. Whenever you have free time, before you go to bed at night, it doesn't matter. But not having to cram three days before the Spelling Bee really does make a difference...if your brain learns the words slowly instead of rapidly, it will give you time to process the information--plus, your brain doesn't enjoy having to handle so much stress which is caused by impossible words and very little time. 3-Pick an area to study. A nice, quiet room with good lighting would be an ideal place. Choose a day where you have nothing else to worry about, time, and your ready-to-think brain. Also, make sure there are as little distractions as possible. (TVs, the neighbor's dog barking, music, etc; should not be heard/seen at this time.) 4-During regular chores/activities, think about the words. This can be done in any way, really. Like, while you are walking the dog, spell the word c-a-n-i-n-e in your head. Or, when you are doing the laundry, d-e-t-e-r-g-e-n-t. You should probably do this after your study--don't try to guess how to spell a word, you may misspell it. (English has some very weird rules that are sometimes not followed.) Some further suggestions 1. First, use a pencil or word processor (I prefer the latter because it’s faster) to type, in complete sentences, any fact you think might appear on the test. Use short sentences because they’re easier to remember. 2. Take your printed notes into a quiet room, shut the door, and eliminate all distractions. 3. Look at the first sentence in your notes and read it out loud. Then, close your eyes and say the sentence without looking at it. 4. Repeat the step above, this time with the first 2 sentences. 5. Next, try it with 3 sentences. Then 4. Repeat until you have memorized every sentence in your notes. After a study session, take a quick nap. New memories are very vulnerable, but studies have shown that sleep helps your new memories stick. After your nap, repeat the memory technique once more for maximum retention. I eventually became so good at this technique that I could complete all my studying for any information heavy mid-term or final exam in less than 6 hours. Yes, I realize this sounds like a lot of time, but it’s not much time at all – because this technique works from a cold start, even if you haven’t cracked the book all semester. I’m not saying you should ignore your classes until the last minute (please don’t — I rarely studied at the last minute myself), but it’s good to know there is a way to save yourself if you do. This technique worked remarkably well; I graduated first in my class (with this being one tool in my toolbelt — not the entire belt).

| Well, I 've met several excellent English learners, some of them just did the same way as you do. I think it might be better if you have a look on vocabulary book. The important thing is , you have to force yourself interested in English so that you can get started if you hated it from the beginning. Though cramming vocabulary into your mind works for an exam, to most people, it is suffering. |
