English vocabulary learning experience

In today’s university campuses, English seems to be an eternal topic that is never boring and will never fade out of the historical stage of campus! It is often circulated on campus There is such a sentence, "The current exam tests English, and the English test is vocabulary. Therefore, to conquer English, you must conquer vocabulary!" This is true!

In the process of learning English, vocabulary Learning is particularly important. The more words you can remember, the better, the more accurate the better, the more complete the definitions, collocations, examples, and usage, the better. Without a solid vocabulary foundation, the improvement of your reading speed is nonsense! And reading It has always been a highlight in our daily exams and is the top priority! As the saying goes, "Those who read will conquer the world!" And the improvement of oral English level is also restricted to our vocabulary to a certain extent.< /p>

Various analyzes show that a large expansion of vocabulary is a key step to cope with the fourth, sixth and graduate entrance examinations, and it is also a step that cannot be replaced or copied by any so-called "exam skills"! This is what we are Something to keep in mind!

For those students who are not very good at English, the bumpy road of learning English is like a long night, far away, and never-ending! I can’t help but sigh, from elementary school to university, we have I have read thousands of English books and done thousands of English test questions. It is overwhelming and vast. My study spirit is even more difficult and difficult. But why can’t I remember the English words, not all of them? In my humble opinion, the most fundamental reason is improper method!

Let’s talk about my method of learning vocabulary:

1. Make good use of etymology to learn vocabulary

In middle school, the teacher told us that words are composed of prefixes, roots and suffixes. But they did not tell us its unique function in memorizing words! Here is an example to illustrate. < /p>

The etymological meaning of pel is "to push, to push".

The following 17 words are formed by adding prefixes or suffixes to it!

compel "to do something" to force, force com- = strengthen

compellable -able=be able to be able to...

compeller A person who forces others, a person who drives others -er =people who

dispel dispel dis- =apart disperse, disperse

expel expel, drive out, expel ex - = out 出,外

< p>expellable can be expelled

expellant expelled, driven out -ant = ... of

expeller expelled, expelled

expellee being Expelled (abroad) person -ee = person who is...(eg.employer---employer)

impel promotes, motivates im-=intensify strengthens

impeller promotes, promotes

propel propulsion, push pro-=before forward

propeller propeller, propeller, propeller

propel lent propulsion, propeller, propeller -ent= n/adj.suffix

repel repel, counterattack, resistance, defense re- =back/ against return

repellence counterattack, resistance-ence=n.suffix (Abstract)

repellent, repellent, protective agent, tarpaulin

Do you think this method is good? Then try it! Maybe, you will have What a big gain!

2. Use professional courses to learn vocabulary

We are studying life sciences. In the daily study of professional subjects, if we can all pay attention to those The learning of professional terms is also of great help to the expansion of our vocabulary.

biology biology anatomy

bio

chemistry biochemistry biostatistics biostatistics

botany botanical garden botanical garden

ecology ecology zoology zoology

physiology bioengineering bioengineering

genetics genetics microbiology microbiology

fermentation fermentation

I will list a few professional terms here for your reference. The following terms are what I picked from "Animal Physiology" 》Excerpted from above. We all know that nowadays there are a lot of reading materials about medicine. If you take the exam about eye diseases one day, it is very beneficial to understand the following professional terms to understand the accuracy of the article.

sensory organ sensory organ eyeball eyeball

eyebrow eyebrow cornea cornea

sclera sclera iris iris

chorioid choroid pupil pupil

retina retina diopter diopter

......

Of course, these words are just a small aspect! There are many more words that you need to summarize by yourself. I emphasize here One thing is that the words listed above can all be used to help memory based on etymology!

3. Use daily necessities to learn vocabulary

In fact, in our daily lives, there are Many daily necessities have English and some Chinese loanwords, but we turn a blind eye and hear them without paying attention! The following is to verify the four major aspects A, B, C and D.

< p>A. Food

beer beer café coffee

chocolate chocolate champagne champagne (champion champion)

......

B. Supplies

jelly n. lipstick n. lipstick

mosaic n. mosaic motor n. Engine

C. Trademarks

We all know that the trademark of "German Volkswagen" is:

The VW logo of Volkswagen is two German words ( Volks Wagen), and the German word volk is equivalent to the English word folk (n. common people), and the German word wagon is equivalent to the English word wagon (n. four-wheeled carriage).

4. Skillful use of contrastive legal vocabulary

This is also a very important method in vocabulary learning. Some vocabulary exams often focus on it. You should carefully distinguish these easily confused words. These words have been tested in CET-4 and CET-6! A word of advice, When learning, you must be able to compare and summarize the uniqueness and individuality between knowledge points to form your own knowledge system. Don't blindly study without knowing the summary, which is very unwise!

The above 5 methods are for your reference only. Different people have different opinions and wise people have different opinions! Learning is a process of constantly exploring methods, and learning is valuable in the mastery and innovation of methods.

In the process of vocabulary learning, always remember that "there are no English words that cannot be remembered, only methods that you can't think of!", the method is the most revolutionary!

No amount of effort will succeed. It makes us frustrated, miserable and lose our fighting spirit, but what will really lead us to failure is to give up our goals, give up our efforts and give up our self-confidence!

The exam is short and cannot be wasted. What can you do in the fourth, sixth and postgraduate exams? Whether we succeed or not, the limited time that we can really grasp is exactly now, today, and this moment. We must not live in the success of the past, nor the failures of the past, nor the illusion of the future. But we can only live cruelly in today's ruthless facts. Therefore, smart darlings of heaven! After finding the goals that suit you, dance with the heroes, practice thousands of times, practice your vocabulary, and benefit the future! < /p>
