必須知道的GRE詞匯背誦的技巧
今天小編給大家整理了GRE詞匯背誦的技巧,我們一起來(lái)學(xué)習(xí)吧,下面小編就和大家分享，來(lái)欣賞一下吧。
GRE詞匯背誦的技巧
1.八字真言——一次大量，多次反復(fù)。
2.第一遍堅(jiān)持楊鵬的循環(huán)方法，一定要把每個(gè)步驟做到，做好;如果每天時(shí)間不充?？刹捎?6天，每天2個(gè)list的方法。
3.第一遍不要管英義、派生、同根、同義反義等項(xiàng)，著重記憶主詞條、中義和助記法。
4.若用藍(lán)寶，則先不要管類反項(xiàng)，其中涉及的各種關(guān)系(如“某某關(guān)系”、“某某與某某”、“某某及其某某”等)大多出自宋昊的20種類反關(guān)系，第一遍時(shí)大可忽略，而且初期階段對(duì)此著意太多，可能會(huì)影響后期做真題時(shí)的效果。
5.可先看一小部分真題(例如20道)，意在體會(huì)類反題所反映出來(lái)GRE對(duì)單詞的考法，使背詞時(shí)更為有的放矢。
6.不要在主詞條附近留下任何標(biāo)記，意在將“場(chǎng)景記憶效應(yīng)”減至最低。
7.時(shí)刻保持激情，參考網(wǎng)絡(luò)練習(xí)，例如ESL港灣里面有個(gè)專門的詞匯練習(xí)頁(yè)面。
8.[斟酌使用]可先不背com、con、dis、im、in、un開(kāi)頭的詞，待其他的詞匯背完后再集中記這些，會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)輕松很多。
9.S開(kāi)頭的單詞示所有詞匯中最難背的部分(詞短、難拆分、助記法少)，背時(shí)可視情況放慢進(jìn)度，耐心記憶。
10.“節(jié)奏”是最重要的，背時(shí)節(jié)奏正確則勢(shì)如破竹，不對(duì)則很容易長(zhǎng)時(shí)間盯著同一頁(yè)而思想不集中，什么都沒(méi)看進(jìn)去，所以應(yīng)該在list1時(shí)就摸索最適合自己的節(jié)奏(即背每一個(gè)詞、每一頁(yè)的速度)，摸索到了就要時(shí)刻注意按此速度均衡記憶。
11.可用各種記號(hào)標(biāo)示自己對(duì)某詞的記憶狀況，但種類不宜超過(guò)三種，且千萬(wàn)不要記在主詞條附近(參照上述第6條)。
12.藍(lán)寶優(yōu)勢(shì)在于收詞全且分類很明晰好用，但對(duì)核心詞匯部分并沒(méi)有繼續(xù)細(xì)分重點(diǎn)，建議在背完兩三遍后對(duì)照老俞的詞頻表，突出記憶?？肌⒅骺荚~匯。
13.如果聽(tīng)覺(jué)記憶比較強(qiáng)，可在空余時(shí)段聽(tīng)聽(tīng)老俞的串講或紅寶的MP3(推薦前者)。
14.絕不要厭惡甚至廢棄詞根詞綴記憶法，當(dāng)你背了很多遍后會(huì)感慨著發(fā)現(xiàn)，真正牢靠高效的仍是這種最古老最正統(tǒng)的記憶法。
15.不要糾纏在“第一遍到底背那本書更好”這個(gè)老問(wèn)題，在任何一本書上勤奮耕耘，都定能收獲巨大，等到詞匯背到60%-70%以上后，再考慮用逆序、音序、分類等其他手段鞏固記憶。
16.背詞閑暇時(shí)可自己總結(jié)一下所記內(nèi)容，如“動(dòng)物”、“藥，劑”、“似(某動(dòng)物)的”、“格言”等，不要一味依賴前人總結(jié)的東西。
17.每天睡前小結(jié)一下當(dāng)天背詞的心得體會(huì)，以后才能越背越順。
18.情緒不好時(shí)、煩躁時(shí)聽(tīng)聽(tīng)音樂(lè)，特別是“When you believe”、“Everybody hurts”、“Hero”、“In the end”、英雄交響曲這種喚人堅(jiān)強(qiáng)向上的，或聽(tīng)聽(tīng)老羅語(yǔ)錄，呵呵。
19.保持好心態(tài)——快樂(lè)，自信、堅(jiān)忍，把背詞匯當(dāng)作一種冒險(xiǎn)、游戲、挑戰(zhàn)。
20.最后送大家一句話，“你不把單詞折磨得死去活來(lái)，它就把你折磨得死去活來(lái)?！弊４蠹以贕路上越走越好，也祝自己好人有好報(bào)，10G成功!
