Let the students carefully observe the composition of a new word, change a letter in the new word, and make it a word that the students have already learned, so as to associate with whether they have learned similar words in the past. Once you think of it, let the students sort it out immediately, which not only consolidates the knowledge you have learned in the past, but also grasps and remembers new words. For example, when learning the new word fall, let students think of the word ball that they learned in the past, and then they can find that only one letter in the two words is wrong, so that they may immediately think of more similar words, such as hall, tall, call and wall, which greatly improves the efficiency of word memory.

Second, pictographic memory method

The so-called pictographic memory method is to observe the composition and structure of words first, combine your own imagination, and create the image of words through vision to remember words. For example, ask students to observe the words zoo and onion. Maybe they will find that zoo is like the number 200, and the second word is regarded as a face with eyes on both sides and a nose in the middle, so that students can remember these words quickly.

Third, the method of changing the alphabetical order.

By changing the order of letters in words, they can become new words, so that students can not only master the old words, but also learn new words, killing two birds with one stone. For example, eat-eat (past tense), hate-live (live), go up (go up …)-no (nothing), take a nap (nap)-dish (dish) and so on.

Fourth, the word formation of English words

1. Add prefixes or suffixes to some words to become new words. Students can remember these words as long as they grasp the roots. For example, possible-impossible, accidental income, dependence-independence, happiness-unhappiness, invention-inventor, Australia-Australia, etc. It should be noted that these prefixes and suffixes are not added at will, for example, the inventor above is followed by or instead of er, so students need to accumulate and summarize more at ordinary times.

2-word synthesis. Sometimes two or more words are combined to produce a new word, which is a compound word, and these words can often infer the meaning of Chinese according to their composition. Such as dust +bin = dustbin, house+work = housework, washing+room = bathroom, snow+people = snowman.

5. Memorize words according to the meanings of synonyms and antonyms.

When reciting words, recite synonyms together. If you remember stupidity, you can think of stupidity; When you think of the word opportunity, you will think of opportunity. In addition, antonyms can also be put together to compare memories. For example, smart-stupid, fat-thin, curly-straight and so on.

Sixth, adhere to the principle of repetition of word memory.

Human memory can be divided into instantaneous memory, short-term memory and long-term memory. Instantaneous memory and short-term memory will gradually disappear with the passage of time, so some things must be repeated to become long-term memory. Therefore, the words that students remember on the same day must be repeated the next day, and they must be repeated at certain intervals. Only in this way can we remember words well.

Applying new words in listening and speaking.

Students can read the words repeatedly through tape or online pronunciation, so that they can leave a deep impression on their minds, and at the same time, they can apply the words they have learned to specific contexts to the maximum extent. The simplest thing is to make some practical sentences to make isolated Chinese words more meaningful in sentences.

Eight, good at capturing words in life.

English is an applied subject. Besides learning and mastering some words in textbooks, it is more important to learn to acquire words in daily life. For example, if you do business in China Bank, you will definitely see China Bank. When you go to the supermarket, you will see practical words such as promotion and sale, and many tall buildings may be accompanied by their English translations. If students can form this habit, they can not only memorize words well, but also enlarge their vocabulary.

Word memory is the first condition of English learning. Without hard memory work, English learning is out of the question. Therefore, students should develop the good habit of memorizing words and make friends with them, so that English words will not be so difficult to remember.
