Chapter 21 Are you afraid of English? ——English learning method for top students (2)
English radio programs are rich in content and can be described as varied.As the saying goes, "There are three thousand weak waters, just take one scoop".You can use English radio programs to focus on the following content and develop the following abilities.

① Learn vocabulary.

Enlarging vocabulary is an important part of learning English with English radio programs.The English broadcasting programs on the radio will provide a large number of specific, vivid and real examples for our learning of English vocabulary.Therefore, we should make good use of English radio programs to learn new words, phrases, idioms, idioms, and popular words, and pay attention to learning and mastering different usages of some commonly used words, so as to enrich and enrich our vocabulary.

②Cultivate and improve listening ability, and promote the improvement of oral English ability.

As the saying goes, practice makes perfect, if you keep listening to English broadcasts, your listening will improve naturally.However, when cultivating listening, it should be planned and targeted, and pay attention to the relationship between extensive listening and intensive listening.Some content of English radio programs is presented in interactive ways such as dialogues. Therefore, when listening to these programs, you should pay attention to how the characters in the programs express and communicate, so as to improve and promote your oral expression ability through listening.

③Accumulate cultural background knowledge and improve comprehensive English ability.

English radio programs also provide us with a lot of cultural background knowledge about Western countries such as Britain and the United States.Such as VOA's The Making of A Nation (history of the founding of the country), American Mosaic (American kaleidoscope), BBC's British life, stories of western music, Radio Australia's Australian style, Australian life, etc.They can enable us to understand the cultural background knowledge of these countries' history, geography, architecture, music, customs and other aspects.Therefore, we should pay attention to accumulating in this aspect when listening and studying.These are of great benefit to improving our comprehensive English level and ability.Let’s talk about the general method of learning English by using English broadcasting programs.

To develop a practical listening plan
Forewarned is forearmed, without prejudging the waste.Making a practical listening plan is the premise to ensure the listening time and improve the listening effect.Therefore, when using English broadcasting to learn English, you should make a listening plan according to your English foundation and ability, needs, preferences, and disposable time.

To be gradual and persistent
When using English broadcasting to learn English, you should do what you can and proceed step by step.Before listening, collect some information about the radio station you want to listen to, and be familiar with its column content and the commonly used sentences of the announcer, which will be of great help to listening.In the process, we can also buy some books and audio tapes of English radio programs for warm-up study or comparison and reference in the process of listening and learning.In addition, it is also a good way to ask those who have experience in listening to English broadcasts.

In Japan, a survey of radio listening time and usage methods found that the radio learning method has more advantages than disadvantages.The radio is the same as the class in the classroom, it is mainly based on lectures, and you must always concentrate on using it to learn.

Pay attention when using broadcasting to learn
① Listen in a planned way, include it in your own study plan, and develop the habit of listening on time;

②Listen selectively, and listen to different subjects for different purposes.

When choosing a program, factors such as personal characteristics, education level, and interest in this subject should be taken into consideration.

Associate French English
The so-called association is to think of another thing related to the current perception or thinking thing.Psychology believes that association actually reflects the connection between objective things. It plays an important role in promoting people's psychological activities such as memory, imagination, and thinking. It has become a form of human thinking and a learning tool. a method ofOne of the main functions of learning is to establish connections among relevant experiences. The more active the associations in thinking, the stronger the connection of experiences.Frequent formation and use of associations can enhance learning efficiency.

In the process of learning a foreign language, association is an important method. It can help us avoid boring grammar and blunt pronunciation, greatly improve efficiency and achieve twice the result with half the effort.The more effective association methods summarized by the predecessors are as follows, and some examples are also attached for reference.

① Compare Lenovo.

Comparative association refers to the recall of another word caused by visually seeing or hearing a word, and comparing it to find out the same, similar or opposite between them, so as to establish a certain connection.This kind of association can often be used to learn some synonyms, near synonyms, and antonyms (or phrases).Such as: learnstudy, hightall, just now moment ago, longshort, openclose, get onget off, husbandwife, teacherstudent, kingqueen, teachlearn, etc.

Of course, mechanical and simple associations should be avoided. In comparative associations, there should be distinctions as well as comparisons, especially for synonyms.

② Neighbor association.

Psychology believes that human mental function activities have certain regularity, and this regularity is also reflected in people's natural associations with things that are close in time and space.Neighborhood association refers to the psychological phenomenon of recalling another thing caused by one thing in time and space.For example, ice, snow, winter, skate; or ice, water, steam, etc., which are then associated with solid, liquid, and gas.This kind of association, as long as there is time, can go on unrestricted, especially when reviewing words.

Classifying and associating words according to their meanings is also a form of neighborhood association.For example, nouns are divided into people, families, places, buildings, climate, nature, time, human body, animals and plants, subjects, languages, etc., so that when learning and reviewing a word, it is easier to associate it with similar words other words.

③ Scene association.

This kind of association is the association of a specific and specific situation from a single word (or phrase) with general meaning.This kind of association not only deepens the impression of words and is conducive to memory, but also combines words with sentences, words and texts, so as to achieve the purpose of understanding, mastering and accurately using the learned vocabulary.

Situational association, first of all, lies in the situation, which should be vivid, interesting and unique; secondly, it lies in the association, which should be appropriate and reasonable.For example, when learning the word cry, first associate its pronunciation /krai/ with the cry of a child. This is one of the scenarios; In this way, students will have a clearer and deeper impression on the meaning, past tense, gerund form of cry and its collocation with hard.Sometimes, you can also associate a word with multiple situations to enhance the memory effect.When reviewing the word, it is beneficial to recall more of these specific situations and connect more usages in different situations.In addition, you can also create some situations for certain words through language, pictures, actions, expressions, etc.

④ Interesting associations.

This is a kind of imaginative use of the learned language material to arouse memories of another language material through some unreasonable but interesting means.The two may have nothing to do with each other, but it is this illogical, absurd, and bizarre thing that leaves a deep memory on people.For example, learn the word see (see), the "ee" in the word is like two eyes, so it is related to "see"; learn look (see, watch), observe its shape, "oo" is like a pair of glasses, so the word It is also related to "seeing", and wearing glasses to see, this kind of "seeing" is undoubtedly a conscious "seeing".In this way, we can not only recognize the meaning and spelling form of words, but also tell the basic difference between see and look.

⑤Language association.

This kind of association refers to the association of a certain thing or state caused by the pronunciation of a certain word.For example: the word cough, in which "ou" is pronounced /[]/, the whole word reads short, like a continuous coughing sound, which means "cough"; the word laugh, in which "au" is pronounced with a long sound /a:/, The opening is relatively large, and the whole word reads straight from the heart, as if laughing, so the word means "laughing, laughing"; the word spit (spit), looks like spitting when reading this word; "al" in ball (ball) "send/?Heng: /, is a rounded lip sound, you can imagine the mouth shape is round like a "ball"; read the word monkey (monkey), the voice is clear and crisp, like a monkey's lively and sensitive; the word camal has a long pronunciation, and the letter "m" has a strong pronunciation and a long tail , thus imagining the majesty and tallness of a camel; while the word cat has a short pronunciation and a crisp ending, reminiscent of the smallness and flexibility of a cat.

Proficiency in the learning method of Lenovo can achieve the effect of deep understanding, quick memory, and proficient application, so that learners can get twice the result with half the effort. It is a learning method worth learning and adopting.

learning english with flashcards

Li Qingzhao's husband was a student at Taixue. When receiving living allowances every month, the couple often went to Xiangguo Temple to buy inscriptions and fruits to go home.While admiring the inscriptions, they ate fruit.Sometimes while sipping tea, I collate different versions, and I also play games.Later, when her husband passed away, Li Qingzhao said when recalling this period of life: "After every meal, sit back and cook tea in the hall, referring to the accumulation of books and history, saying something on the page of a certain volume in a certain book, and vetoing the outcome in it, which is the order of drinking tea. .I raised my glass and laughed...'.It is precisely because Li Qingzhao and his wife are well-educated people that they dared to play this kind of game (competition), and through this activity, the memory was deepened.

Flashcards are especially effective when learning a language.

There are a large number of words in English learning, and they are easy to forget. Here I will take memorizing English words as an example to describe the general methods and steps of using cards to memorize.

① Production.

Make the card case first.Use cardboard or a thicker carton to make a box with a length of about 30 cm, a width of about 10 cm, and a height of about 5 cm (adjust according to the size of the material you have), and divide it into 5 grids with cardboard in the middle. The ratio of length to length is 5:1:2:3:4, and then the cards are made.Use a card for each English vocabulary. English words are written on the front of the card, and Chinese meanings are written on the back of the card. In fact, the process of making cards is also the process of learning words.

② use.

Put the newly learned vocabulary into the first box of the card box, preferably 20-30 cards each time.Read the Chinese word on the card and translate it into English. If you can’t translate it, turn the card over and read it until you memorize the English word. Can start from scratch.Do the same for the other cards.

For the word cards that can be remembered, don't put them back into the first frame, and put them directly into the second frame after reading, so as not to mix with the word cards that you don't know.The same method can be adopted for each new learning content in the future.When the second grid is basically full of cards, you can take out some cards in the second grid in order to check whether you have forgotten them.If not, put this card on the third frame; if you don't answer or answer wrongly, put the card back to the first frame to memorize from the beginning.

If the third box is also filled, you can take out the first part of the cards and check again whether you have mastered it.Put the mastered cards on the fourth frame, and put the unmastered part of the cards back to the first frame, and memorize them from scratch again.

Draw the filled fourth grid in the same way.If the fifth box is also full, you can take out the cards at the beginning to test whether you still have mastered them. If you have not forgotten them, you can take them out, because it means that you have indeed memorized this part of the vocabulary for a long time.For those that are not remembered, return to the first frame.

Card memory is mainly used to memorize the words that are most difficult to remember, and it is not necessary to use this method for those words that are relatively simple and easy to remember.In addition, the old ones should be removed and updated frequently during use. When the first frame is found to be empty, some new word cards should be made and put in in time.

Of course, you don't have to stick to the above-mentioned forms, and you can also achieve a good memory effect by simply making the cards you need.

Maybe it is useless to use this kind of card memory to memorize words, but it will cost an extra procedure.But after a long time, I discovered the purpose of the card.This is especially true for those who want to master a language without being young.Let's talk about the principle that using cards can improve the memory of English words.

When we learn a new word, we generally cannot remember it, and we need repeated review and experience to master it.Many people learn English by reading books. When encountering new words, they look them up in the dictionary.Until the next time I encounter this word and look it up in the dictionary, it is always such a procedure.People who use this method will definitely find that those words with a higher probability of occurrence will be remembered firmly, while those with a lower probability of occurrence will not be remembered.The card method actually uses the most scientific and systematic method to complete this process.It actually loads the memory with the resulting impressions gradually.Suppose we found 50 new words on the first day, made cards, and memorized them.Generally, this memory will not last until 3 days later, because people's "forgetfulness" is always at work.How the card method actually overcomes this "forgetfulness".For this reason, we set a time for forgetting according to each person's situation.For you, it may only be one day.Then you review it once a day before you forget it.Some of them may be forgotten, so I will take them out and put them on the back tomorrow as new words. The words that can still be remembered have already deepened the impression, so I will separate the remembered and unremembered words after 3 days.For words that can still be remembered after 3 days, they will be separated after one week, and words that cannot be remembered after 3 days will be treated as new words.In this way, although there are only one or two hundred words reviewed every day, the number of words you have mastered can reach [-], [-] or even more within half a year.

In addition, using the card memory method can not take up a large amount of time to memorize.You can make the content you want to memorize into a small card and put it in your pocket, so that you can use all the free time to reproduce and memorize the words, even for 1 minute.For example, queuing up for meals at school, driving home, going to school, or even going to the toilet can be used to memorize one or two cards.This is repeated and accumulated day by day, and over time, your memory and memory ability will be greatly improved.

snowball memory
You probably played the game of making snowballs when you were young. You first make a small snowball, and then let it roll on the snow, the snowball will become bigger and bigger, until it is bigger than what we can use The largest snowball ever made.This is the skillful use of the association and diffusion effect of the snowball itself.In the end, unexpected effects were produced.This principle can also be used in memory learning.We call it the "snowball" memory method, that is, after remembering an object, based on this, the cognition is expanded outward according to the inherent connection between objects, so as to memorize more complex objects.This method can be used in the learning of various subjects.

People's learning of any knowledge must be based on existing knowledge, and there must be a process from less to more, from simple to complex.Using the "snowball" memory method, you can consciously use this law to organically link the learning and memory of new knowledge with the knowledge you have already mastered, and continue to advance on the basis of existing knowledge, just like rolling a snowball, thereby greatly improving your memory. learning result.

The following steps can be taken to use the snowball memory method:

Organization selection core
①Pinch the core tightly.The snowball can roll very big, but before rolling it is not a ball but a tightly kneaded small snowball, which is the core of the snowball.To make the snowball roll smoothly, get bigger and bigger without cracking, the core must be pinched very tightly, although it may be unevenly pinched, not like a ball.When you are going to roll a snowball, you have to grab two handfuls of snowflakes and pinch them with both hands together, pinch them tightly and tightly, and then you can use them to adhere to new snow, form small balls, and then put them on the snow to roll.

Core selection is very important.We remember a lot.But not all are suitable as the starting point.The basic point refers to the content that has the ability to generate and must be mastered. It is often consistent with the key and difficult points. This kind of basic material should not be too much, so that the burden of learning will not be too large.But the basic point must also have a certain height and challenge, so as to stimulate the potential of students.

② Grading.Grading is to organize the selected textbooks in a step-by-step manner by highlighting the key points, dispersing the difficult points.It requires step by step, and each step constitutes a whole.In the process of constructing structures, in order to increase knowledge, there will generally be a phenomenon of expanding the scope. Therefore, in the process of selecting "snowflakes", that is, materials, the selected materials should meet three conditions: adaptability to generalize a large number of examples; effectiveness There are few exceptions; simplicity is clear, simple, clear, and easy to use.Readers who are not the main but relevant knowledge should also be flexibly extended into the main structure according to their own interests and future knowledge requirements.

③Display.As the last step to pinch the core of the snowball, it must meet three requirements: a.The content and requirements of the presentation are adapted to the learning stage.Different base points have different learning requirements.Some content requires presentation, which belongs to the memory paradigm; practice is the stage of understanding rules from memory, which requires transformation, extension, and expansion of paradigms; transfer is the application of learned content, which requires reuse and free expression, also known as application.Various requirements are different, and the requirements for the learning level of the basic points are also different. b.Prevent mind-sets.The stereotype of thinking makes the thinking move mechanically along the familiar route, so that one only pays attention not to deviate from the topic without knowing why. c.Ensure the quality and quantity of practice.But quantity does not equal quality.To ensure quality, the basic content must focus on key points and be able to combine old and new.
