First, prepare a special word book for yourself.
Many students are used to reviewing words "purely", that is, putting aside other items such as reading and writing; Or some students like to buy a vocabulary book from "A" to "Z", which was particularly active a few days ago, but few people can stick to part D, and the basic "A" has been destroyed before it is over, which is understandable. In the final analysis, people are lazy, but the fundamental reason is that when we recite these words, it is only a superficial memory, and the true meaning of the words does not go deep into our minds. But I just can't remember what it means! "So in fact, the best way is to' create' a set of word books and write down the new words encountered in the process of doing OG or real questions, so that you can remember the words when reading or doing exercises. The recorded words are also words tailored for yourself, and the words you have accumulated are actually high-frequency words in the exam.
Second, there must be a set of systematic planning.
Many students may have a misunderstanding when memorizing vocabulary, thinking that they clearly memorized the words yesterday, but forgot a lot the next day. After a week, I have little memory, so some students always complain to me whether I am "stupid" or "poor memory", but it is not. According to Ebbinghaus forgetting curve, we can understand that the memory of words is actually a process of repeated consolidation.
From the picture, we can see that "meaningless syllable" is the most easily forgotten one. Can we use this to make a vocabulary memory plan? Shanghai New Oriental Bian Xiao believes that a more scientific review cycle can be set as the following cycles:
1. First memory cycle: 5 minutes.
2. The second memory cycle: 30 minutes
3. The third memory cycle: 12 hours
4. Fourth memory cycle: 1 day
5. The fifth memory cycle: 2 days
6. Sixth memory cycle: 4 days
7. Seventh memory cycle: 7 days
8. Eighth memory cycle: 15 days
So the forgotten curve can be "straightened".
Third, use other methods to assist memory.
The brain is divided into left brain and right brain, each with different functions. Specifically, the left brain mainly deals with language, logic, mathematics and order, while the right brain mainly deals with rhythm, melody and images. Although their functions are different, the two hemispheres are not completely separated, but support and coordinate with each other. When memorizing words, we don't advocate rote memorization. We can classify words according to their roots and affixes. For example, flor- is the root of "flower", such as flower, flower and flower. You can use homophony, association and other memory methods to remember words faster, such as: ambition: ambitious, bulky: bulky ……; At the same time, it can also be classified according to memory methods. For example, subject terms can be summarized as: psychology, anthropology, archaeology, sociology, ecology and so on. These methods are only auxiliary purposes, that is, to deepen the impression. Many words have no obvious rules to follow, which adds a little fun to the boring word memory.
