The course of Beijing Foreign Studies Network summarizes many review skills and tells you how to review English for postgraduate entrance examination, and the best way to remember words is contextual memory. Every English word has many meanings, but what it means in a sentence depends on the specific context. Students preparing for postgraduate entrance examination should not only remember the general meanings and common definitions of words, but also remember the most commonly used meanings in postgraduate entrance examination English.
You must have a good English dictionary to look up English words. Oxford Advanced English-Chinese Learning Dictionary is absolutely necessary for candidates. In the process of practice, we'd better look up or recite the above meaning directly without using mobile phones or other electronic devices, so it is very likely that we will recite it but can't use it at all, or we are not clear or even wrong at all, and we don't know how to use it correctly in English context. Therefore, understanding English words in English is the correct solution, and you can also learn the correct usage of this word from example sentences, which is really killing two birds with one stone.
Teacher Li of Beijing Extranet Course gave us an example to illustrate how to recite words in this way.
For example, in postgraduate English, we will see the word imagine, which generally means verb and imagination, but in the object clause of postgraduate English, imagine often means think, I imagine that: just = = I think that. For example, it leads the discussion to external extremes: it makes you think that animals should be treated like humans. For others, or not at all.
Consider: Basic meaning, consider something carefully, consider, consider.
But according to the meaning of the sentence, the actual meaning of consideration in the sentence is to be more concerned, that is, in the Oxford dictionary, to be sensitive to others and to consider the quality of others' feelings and wishes.
Let's analyze the next postgraduate reading article in detail, and show the memory method of keywords from this article.

After six months of debate and the last 16 hours of intense parliamentary debate, northern Australia became the first legal authority in the world to allow doctors to end the lives of terminally ill patients who wish to die. This measure was adopted by a convincing vote of 15 to 10. Almost at the same time, the news flashed on the Internet and was received by John Hofsess, the executive director of the Canadian Right to Death Association, half a world away.
