附:英語背單詞有什麼技巧?
第一大方法:通過發音背單詞
同學們要掌握單詞拼寫與發音之間的規律,發好每一個音標,讀準每一個單詞;還可以把包含同一母音的單詞歸為一類(如mistake, change, pain, gain, amazing…)集中操練,讀起來朗朗上口,特別過癮!通過發音背單詞不但很快就能記住單詞,更能練出地道發音!
第二大方法:跟著錄音背單詞
導致中國人背單詞失敗的最根本原因就是:發音不過關,單詞讀不準。所以一定要跟著標準的錄音背單詞。把音量開到最大,反覆聽錄音並跟著大聲朗讀單詞。這時候你的眼睛、耳朵、嘴巴全部用起來了,不斷刺激大腦,印象也特別深刻!
第三大方法:“三最”狂讀背單詞
“默默無聞”地背單詞效果極其低下!一定要用 “三最法”狂讀狂背每個單詞。背單詞的`時候,一定要做到最大聲、最清晰、最快速。當你用“三最法”操練單詞時,你的注意力會高度集中,記憶的效率會大大提高,你不僅記住了單詞,還鍛造了國際口腔肌肉!
第四大方法:分門別類背單詞
英語中有很多單詞屬於同一類別,可以把同一類別的單詞集中起來一起操練,從而大大提高單詞記憶的效率。同學們可以自己動手,對本書的單詞進行分門別類,抄在小紙條上或製成單詞卡,然後集中轟炸、專門突破、分類記憶!
