I am an English major, but I have never been able to learn English well. What should I do?
English is a phonetic symbol, and most letters and letter combinations have certain pronunciation rules. As long as you pay attention to observation, you will find the connection between spelling and pronunciation. 1 Remember every word correctly. Correct pronunciation is an important way to remember a large number of words quickly and accurately. Zhu, a scholar in the Song Dynasty, said that reading requires three things: heart, eyes and mouth. The more sensory participation in the learning process, the better the memory effect. Therefore, when learning words, we should not only look at the shape, but also pronounce it; It is necessary to start writing and reading aloud, let multiple senses participate in memory together, and obtain information through multiple channels, so as to form multiple temporary neural connections for the same word in your mind. Even if one connection is interrupted in the future, other connections can be used as clues to recall the word. 2 steps to master memory Many students see new words in the vocabulary, and the first thing they do is spelling, so it is difficult to write down all the words involved in a limited time. Even if I write it down, because I don't pay enough attention to the pronunciation and Chinese meaning of the word, I can't reflect which word it is when the teacher says it; When they see this word, they don't know its Chinese meaning, which affects their listening and understanding of the text. After a while, they will soon forget these words. Do things with an outline. To learn words, we must first grasp the main contradiction. First of all, you should read the words correctly to the phonetic symbols, until you leave the phonetic symbols, and you can read them accurately and fluently. Next, look at the words and remember their Chinese meanings. Before the third step, write down the Chinese meaning of the words-observe China people say the corresponding English words. After the above three steps are completed, even if you can't spell, it won't affect your listening and understanding. If there is still time in class, you can spell the words one by one in the fourth step. After the first three processes, we have taken a lot of faces, so we won't be unfamiliar with its spelling, and with some pronunciation knowledge, it's easier for us to write down the spelling of this word. 3 Recording words in context Recording the pronunciation, spelling and meaning of a word does not necessarily mean that you can really master the word, because many words in English are polysemy, polysemy or polyphony. To truly grasp or judge its meaning and part of speech, we can only do it according to the sentence and context. Practice has proved that remembering words in context can not only accurately understand the pronunciation, meaning and usage of words in sentences, but also remember words in context to prevent forgetting. 4 review in time, often review a lot of words, and it will be easy to forget after a long time. One of the effective ways to prevent forgetting is to review frequently. Review methods can be varied, depending on personal circumstances. The following are: 4. 1 induction induces the same root parts of speech. Such as relate, relation, relationship, relation, relativity, relativity and so on. 4.2 Classification is memorized according to the meaning of the class. Such as lizards, snakes, pythons, cobras, snakes, rattlesnakes, centipedes, worms, spiders and so on. 4.3 Contrast method puts antonyms together. Such as weight and light, thickness and thinness, buying and selling, near and far, high and low, short and long, forgetting and remembering, wrong and equivalence. 4.4 Identification method identifies synonyms and synonyms together. For example, many, many, many; ; Turn off, turn off, turn off, turn off; Have to, must; Because, because, for, and so on. 4.5 Compare the similarities and differences of word sounds to prevent confusion, such as spelling words with only one different letter: light, fight, tight, right, night, might, sight;; Ball, bell, bell, cow, etc. Homonyms: Sun and Zi; ; Taihe second class. 5. Be good at finding the wrong way of memory. There are always some words in English that seem to be written down, but sometimes when someone bothers you, you will immediately doubt yourself and feel a little uncertain. For example, "roast duck" is roastduck or toast duck. In this case, you should always consult the dictionary. The dictionary is a knowledgeable and tireless teacher. After finding the correct answer in the dictionary, write it down in a notebook, and find out the effective way to correct the wrong memory according to your own life and study experience. Memorizing words should combine mechanical memory with understanding memory. There are many ways to remember words, so it will get twice the result with half the effort to find the most suitable method in practice.
