An inventory of the three most efficient ways to memorize English words

In the process of learning English, we have always emphasized the need to continuously accumulate words and master grammar. At the same time, this is also the most difficult and important part of learning English.

To learn English, you must first correct your learning attitude and develop good study habits.

Below, I will share with you three methods for learning English words, which you can use as a reference for learning.

1. Associative memory method: For words without roots or words whose roots are difficult to remember, you can use the associative memory method.

The so-called associative memory is to divide a word into several words or parts and remember it by association.

This method can be used for many complex vocabulary stipulated in the college English teaching syllabus. It needs to be noted here that this method is sometimes not necessarily scientific, but it is very effective. For example: Mustard (mustard), decomposes into [must=certain, inevitable, ard=scorching, burning. This word can be associated with: eating mustard must be very hot.

Emboss (protruding, carving a relief on the surface of something) is decomposed into [em=outward, boss=boss, associated with: the boss’s belly protrudes outward.” Massacre (massacre), decomposed into [mass = mass, acr = sharp. The association is: assassinating people with sharp weapons." Aftermath (result, consequence) is decomposed into [after=after, math=mathematics, associated with: see the results after the math test].

Abridge (abridged, abbreviated), decomposed into [A, bridge = bridge, associated with: A can shorten the distance by passing the bridge].

Melody (beautiful music. Beautiful melody) is decomposed into [me=me, lody=lady, miss, and it is associated with: Miss and I play beautiful music together."

B oycott (joint boycott) is decomposed into [boy=boy, cott=cot, narrow bed, hut, shabby room, which is associated with: boy who cannot boycott the hut."

Intoxicate (intoxication, obsession), decomposed into [int=into, entering into a certain state, ox=bull, i=love, love, cate=cat, cat, association: bull loves cat to the point of obsession].

Asaassination (assassination, assassination), decomposed into [As,...as, like?, sin=sin, ation is the suffix of the noun, associated with: doing sinful things like S? assassination].

Advocate (advocate; advocate, support), decomposed into [Ad=advertisement, voc=speak; say, associate with what is said in the advertisement]. husbandry (farming, housekeeping), decomposed into [husband=husband, dry=drought, associated with: husband farming in dry farmland].

Bride (bride), decomposed into [bribe=bribe, associated with: bribe the bride to achieve the goal], Skyscraper (skyscraper), decomposed into [sky=sky, scrap=rpwi rub, er= Things, things, associate as: things that rub the sky]. Henpnecked (those who are abused by their wives, those who are afraid of their wives) is decomposed into [hen=hen, peck=peck, and is associated with: roosters are afraid of hens pecking."

Forerunner (ancestor, pioneer, ancestor) is decomposed into [fore=first. In front, runner=a person running, associated with: person running in front].

The biggest advantage of this method is that it can give full play to personal imagination, inspire and cultivate students' creative consciousness, avoid boring and mechanical memorization of words, make the memory of words longer, and create Awareness first lies in the brain's ability to actively engage in creative thinking. Everyone's level of knowledge and way of thinking are very different. This method of association can cultivate students' thinking ability to the maximum extent and make the way of thinking three-dimensional. Diffusion, students can also communicate with each other and be inspired by each other before the exam.

2. Word group induction method.

The so-called word group induction method is to classify the words you encounter according to their synonyms or antonyms. Because scattered words are difficult to remember for a long time, it is more effective to memorize a group of words. If you encounter similar words again in the future, you can assign them to a certain group.

For example: the word storm (storm, storm) listed in the college English vocabulary list. It is not enough to just know this meaning. You should also know such as: snowstorm, rainstorm, sandstorm, drizzle (hairy and fine). Rain), breeze), blizard (snowstorm, blizzard), gale (gale), blast (gust), typhoon (typhoon), tornado (tornado), hurricane (hurricane).

The flowers listed in the vocabulary are: rose, tulip, lily, lotus, marigold, carnation ), cactus (cactus), chrysanthemum (chrysanthemum), forget-me-not (forget-me-not). Vocabulary related to taste such as: fragrance (fragrance), perfume (fragrance, aroma, perfume, spice), aroma (fragrance, aroma) ), odor (fragrance, odor), flavor (taste, aroma), balm (fragrance, aroma). Groups of words related to crime include: criminal (criminal), culprit (criminal), felon (felon), con=convict (prisoner, especially a criminal who has been in prison for a long time).

The words expressing the meaning of assertion and assertion in the "College English Outline" include: assert (assertion, maintenance), allege (assertion, declaration), affirm (assertion, confirmation), and the words outside the syllabus are: : assert (assert), aver (assert, advocate), avouch (assert, advocate).

In addition, in addition to memorizing the same words, similar words and double-meaning words in groups, you can also carry out extended memory based on the meaning of the word. For example: the word for nobleman in the fourth-level vocabulary is nobleman, aristocrat, due to historical reasons, nobles are divided into Duke, Marquis, Earl, Viscount and Baron. They are represented in English as Duke, Marquis; Earl, Viscount and Baronet. There is a saying in English: Formwomb to tomb; which means From birth to death, the growth process of a person can also string together and memorize new words that have been learned, such as embryo (fetus), infant (infant), baby (child), child (child), juvedk (juvenile), addescence (Youth), teen (teenage), premature (immature), mature (mature).

Adult (adult), grown-up (adult), old, aged (elderly), dotage (old age). Nibble (light bite; fine bite), bite (bite); chew (chew, chew), eat (eat), munch (chew loudly), swallow (swallow), devour (wolf down).

This kind of horizontal memory can not only reduce the boringness of memorizing words in alphabetical order in general vocabulary lists, but also effectively group together the scattered vocabulary learned; it can draw inferences from one instance and draw parallels. .

3. Root memory method.

This is the most important way to memorize words, because although there are so many English words, there are only a few hundred root words, and 85% of English words can be decomposed and memorized through their roots. Memorizing words in this way is not only faster but also faster. It is fast and can be remembered firmly. If the monotony is broken down into letters one by one during the memory process, then the word contains many units. Each letter has no specific meaning and cannot produce associations. Therefore, it must be that the speed of remembering words is slow. Not for long.

This is why I forget the words. Forgot to memorize the main original meaning. The best way to solve this problem is to memorize more roots and make associations through the roots. Different from the decomposition memory method, root memory is not only effective, but also a scientific method. There is a theoretical basis. For example, some vocabulary words in the "College English Teaching Syllabus" can be memorized through root decomposition.

Root word brev=short, abbreviation [ab-strengthens the meaning, brev=short, short, ation noun suffix] = compilation, shortening, abbreviation. Brevity [brev = short, ity = noun suffix" = (statement, etc.) short, concise; (life) short, short.

The root word tract=drag, draw, pull drag, pull, lead, abstract[abs=leave. tract=pull, sleeve, draw away=abstract, summary, general expansion. Attract[at=toward tract=to draw; to draw something or someone toword oneself, to gain the attention of someone.]=attract, lure. Distract[dis=away, to draw away the mind in a different direction;]=distraction, transfer. Retract [re=back, tract=to draw; pull, to draw and take something back.]=retract; take back.

Celer=quick, speed, speed, accelerate [ac=again, celer=speed, one plus speed]=accelerate, speed up. Celerity means speed and agility. Decelerate[de removed,celer=speed]=deceleration. Nym, onym=name, name, name. anonvmous[an=none, no, onym=name, name]=anonymous. synonym[syn=same, same, onym=name, name, name]=agreement word.

Antonym [ant= anti, on the contrary, onym=name, name, name" = antonym. Acronvm [acro=higher, nym=name, name"=writing in capital letters. Gon=angle, angle. Trigon[tri=three, gon=angle]=triangle.

Pentagon [penta=five, gon=corner]=pentagon; if the definite article The is added before the noun, the word means the Pentagon (the office building of the U.S. Department of Defense). Diagonal[dia=wear, right, gof=corner]=diagonal money.
