1, root affixation: This method is very common. You can buy a word book with root affixes and just remember it according to the above. It can double your vocabulary in a short time.
For example, "dis" means "no", then "don't like" means "don't like" and so on.
2, pictographic memory: this is a difficult method, it needs to rely on your own imagination, but mastering this method will be very solid.
For example, you can think of two "O" s as potatoes and two "T" s as shovels for shoveling potatoes.
I often combine root affixes with pictographic memory, and any words that are convenient and easy to remember can be used.
3, spelling: this is the most commonly used method when I was a child, simple but easy to forget, lack of inference between words.
Second, the method of memorizing words:
1, accurate memorization method: This is the method I used before, that is, I try to memorize every word as much as possible, and I don't need to memorize more words a day. I basically control it to about 20 words and review it once a week.
I will prepare a pocket-sized word book to carry with me and use all kinds of spare time to recite words, such as waiting in line for dinner and taking the bus. I don't have to set aside a special time period to recite words, which is casual and not boring, but it requires high memory and concentration.
In addition, some words must be memorized skillfully, and some words are barely remembered. It's better to prepare another pen to circle the unskilled words, which can reduce the review time.
2, App learning method: There are many APPs for memorizing words. I am used to using hundreds of words. The insertion of new words and old words is conducive to review and consolidation, as well as root explanation and picture association, which saves the trouble of association.
3. Sweeping calligraphy: This is a popular method now, and I also recognize it. Prepare a word book and look at English spelling and Chinese meaning. You don't need an accurate memory, just a vague impression in your mind. Sweep a book like this, and then start the second time, the third time ... the twentieth time, the thirtieth time. You will find that the time of each sweep is shorter than the previous one, and you will remember it more deeply.
In my opinion, this is the most suitable method for the exam, because you don't need to remember it once and turn pages quickly. Every time I pass, I will feel a sense of accomplishment, feel no pain, and my self-confidence is getting stronger and stronger, which is conducive to persistence.
Either way, diligence is a necessary but not sufficient condition, and persistence can succeed.
