1、常規詞彙書記單詞
這種詞彙書市面上有很多，大家在拿詞彙書記憶的時候，要安排好每天記憶多少單詞，一定要堅持住。另外，在記單詞的時候要注意迴圈記憶和重複記憶，因為單詞書記單詞的遺忘率很高。
2、單詞軟體記憶單詞
這個算是智慧手機給四級帶來的最大好處。我用的是知米背單詞，應該還有其他的記單詞軟體。拿單詞APP記單詞最大的好處就是方便，大家可以隨時隨地的記單詞，不受時間地點的限制。而且單詞軟體會很人性化的安排單詞複習，這對於記單詞很有幫助。
3、核心詞彙書記單詞
對於一些詞彙量好一些的人來說，常規詞彙書中的詞彙有很多都知道，背起來太浪費時間了。所以核心詞彙書就顯得很重要的了，核心詞彙書的詞彙量一般是2000詞，數量不多，大家記起來也比較輕鬆，而且這些詞彙都是四級常考的`詞彙，詞彙的重要程度也很高。
4、試題語境記憶單詞
語境記憶是很好的詞彙記憶方法，這樣記憶的詞彙都會很長久。大家在語境記憶的時候，都能夠對相應的句子和詞彙進行理解，所以記憶的會很牢固。我用的巨微英語——四級真題/逐句精解，這本書把歷年真題中的生詞都圈出來，然後進行非常詳細的註釋，這很方便進行語境記憶，很適合我這樣基礎不好的人使用。
5、生活中積累單詞
在生活中積累單詞也是詞彙量增加的好辦法。大家平時遇到不認識的單詞，就馬上拿手機查一下，這樣日積月累也能夠記憶不少單詞。另外大家平時就多看英文電影和電視劇，這樣可以學到很多的單詞。平時也可以多讀一些英文文章，順便積累其中的生詞。
