How to improve English vocabulary efficiently?

As an English enthusiast, I have studied English for several years and also participated in the CET-6 exam. I would like to share my experience ----- how to improve English vocabulary.

First of all, English phonetic symbols must be mastered accurately, because a large part of English is memorizing words based on pronunciation, which can get twice the result with half the effort. There is no big essential difference between English phonetic symbols and Chinese pinyin, which is better than Japanese. I memorized too many words, and the teacher didn’t explain them very much at the time, but I think this part is the most important. The vowels are loud and the consonants are weak. Some special words are also easy to remember. You should combine the shapes and sounds. It will be much easier to memorize words once you are familiar with them. There are some sounds that are very similar to their own appearance, for example:

a Words with /e?/ in the open syllable: name plane Jane baby cake make take

At the same time, we can use association and similarity to turn abstract letters into images. I often imagine r as a small sapling. It is best to remember the shape and connect the sound with the shape at the same time. The best way, I remember hair is like this, is to remember the first three based on the syllables and then based on the appearance, the r is very similar to our bangs.

The second thing is to understand the root of the word, which usually has prefixes and suffixes. Split and classify these. Only after you understand the short letters, you can piece the short letters into the whole word and it will be easy to remember. Now, scar- as a prefix contains the meaning of "scar", we can expand it to: scarlet, scar, scarcity, scarf. These can be put together for comparison and understanding of their inner meanings.

Third, focus on key vocabulary. After you have a solid foundation in the first two, you will know how easy it will be later, because sharpening the knife does not waste time chopping firewood. To improve your English vocabulary, of course, you must give priority to memorizing those words. Words that appear more frequently cannot be delayed by reciting the previous words. You can record them in a special notebook, or you can use colored pencils to make a clear and prominent contrast, that is, those reading questions, translation questions and single-choice questions. The words that appear in all the questions are basically key words.

Fourth, give yourself a quota every day. Memorize ten words a day, which is not much, because words need to be reviewed over and over again, so you often have to go back and review, and add ten new words a day. If you learn ten old words like this, you can memorize at least 140 such words in a week. In order to fully understand and master the vocabulary, sometimes we can make sentences with the vocabulary words with our classmates, which invisibly enhances our familiarity with other vocabulary words. , before asking each other with classmates, you need to master them first, and you must first absorb and internalize them before you can use them.

Fifth, you can read some extracurricular English readings, novels, etc., and use quick browsing to master the vocabulary manuals of Level 4 and Level 6. Reading those articles is not difficult at all. The main thing is to practice fast reading, and keep your eyes open. Move, face is not allowed to move mode.

Haha, finally, if you really want to improve your vocabulary very efficiently, you have to work hard and persist. It will take time and energy for this quantitative change to become a qualitative change. If one person cannot persist, you can invite a few people. In this way, everyone can supervise each other, help and supervise each other. Some students will choose extracurricular tutors for tutoring. That is also allowed, but the master will lead them in, and they have to rely on themselves to practice in their spare time. Some people also use the Internet to watch American and British dramas and movies and listen to their pure accents. This can be used as an adjustment to add a little fun. Mobile phone software is also an effective way to memorize words. I often use Youdao Translator. When you really After you finish learning, you will look back and find that memorizing words is just such a small case. I believe you will become more and more interested in memorizing words.
