Black-and-white circular memorization method for vocabulary of Level 2 and Level 4
The core meaning of black-and-white circular memory method is to find out the key points of memory by classifying the vocabulary specified in the outline, eliminate the interference of non-core vocabulary, and finally master all the words by memorizing words at different levels successively.
This mnemonic method stipulates that if a candidate can say all the Chinese meanings and usages of a word, then the word is a white word for him. If you can say part of its meaning, it is defined as gray; If you can't tell its meaning and usage, it is defined as black.
The order of memory is to remember the gray words first and turn all the gray words into white words. After eliminating the gray words, we began to remember the black words. After a period of memory, some black words may be transformed into white words, while others become gray words. In the future memory, the black characters turn into gray characters, the gray characters turn into white characters, and finally all the characters turn into white characters. This is the first cycle.
Another level of circulation is that when memorizing gray words and black words, the words can be grouped according to certain standards, and it is stipulated that the first group is memorized on the first day, the second group is memorized on the second day, and the third group is memorized on the third day. The first group is reviewed and the fourth group is reviewed in turn, so as to achieve the purpose of reviewing while memorizing.
The advantage of this kind of word memory is that learners always know their learning tasks and learning effects.
For the specific memory methods of black and white words, please refer to our book "Black and White Memory of College English Vocabulary".
Third, the root and affix memory method
Black-and-white circular memory method solves the macro memory method of CET-4 vocabulary, and the root affix memory method solves the micro memory problem of vocabulary. Its characteristic is to make full use of the word formation rules of words, and to achieve the purpose of memorizing a series of words by mastering the roots or affixes of a group of words. For example, if we know that able and abil mean capable, we can know able, impossible, impossible, capability and so on. Are all related to ability and talent; If you know act=to do, to drive does, does and drives, then it is very simple to remember act, action, actor, action, activity, activate, actual, exact, reactor, interact, transaction and so on. Knowing that part=to separate means to separate, you can remember a long list of words: parcel, park, part, part, part, participant, particle, partial, apartment, department, company, department, part, partition. There are many similar roots. Here we only give a few examples. For the methods of memorizing college English roots and affixes, please refer to our book Memorizing College English Vocabulary Roots and Affixes.
Advan = Forward, forward; Add = to put to addAer=air，space air，sky，space； Ag = do, move, guide, encourage and guide; Change; Ampl = large, wide space, large; Ann, enn = year; Art = skill; Cur(e), sur(e)-= care, care, safety, care and treatment; Dic, dit = talk, say; Form, forma=, format = shape, pattern formation, pattern.
In addition to roots, there are many affixes (including prefixes and suffixes) in English words, which appear very frequently in words. Remember the prefixes and suffixes of these words, and with the help of the roots, memorizing words is by no means a messy thing, but a thing with many rules to follow. That is to say, after mastering the root and affix mnemonics, the number of words we remember is no longer 4200, but may be around 1000, or even less.
The advantage of this memory method is that it can make full use of the relationship between form and meaning of words to vaguely remember a large number of words. Vagueness here means that as long as you know that a word contains a certain root or affix, you can roughly know the general meaning or part of speech of the word, thus greatly improving your reading comprehension. Accordingly, when doing vocabulary questions or vocabulary questions in the context of reading comprehension, we can also make correct judgments according to the roots and affixes.
Fourth, holographic memory method
The so-called holographic memory method is to use the "meaning group memory principle", one of the effective memory principles of words, to remember words. Memory science research proves that if a single memory word is tired, it cannot be consolidated for a long time. As long as the words are combined and memorized according to certain meanings, the effect will be greatly improved. Holographic memory method can divide the vocabulary in CET-4 syllabus into three categories: material world, human society and scientific thinking. The "material world" can be subdivided into "inanimate matter" and "living matter", which can include the smallest components (atoms and particles) from matter to the universe (sun and moon); "Organism" can include the smallest unit gene (protein, gene, cell), lower aquatic organisms (fish, shellfish), reptiles (Reptiles), flying animals (birds), mammals (mammals), monkeys (monkeys) and humans. The superstructure under the concept of "human society" can include kingship, dynasty, dictator, aristocrat, government, officials, election, congress, assembly, legislature), turmoil (disorder, escalation, revolution), police (police, officers), prison (Gaelic, prison), armed forces (army, armed forces) and war (war). All of the above are classified according to certain noun concepts. In practice, nouns, verbs and their phrases, adjectives and adverbs related to these concepts and meanings can be memorized together.
The advantage of this memory method is that learners can associate and remember words according to certain information anytime and anywhere. For example, a cyclist walking down the street can think of words such as bicycle, truck, car, vehicle, bus, traffic (traffic jam, lights), rush hour, expressway, expressway, zebra crossing, cement, sidewalk, underground passage, fine, road, passengers, shops, fences, etc. Another example: when we go to the hospital, we can think of hospitals, doctors, nurses, wards, medicines, cures, treatments, injections, illnesses, clinics and so on.
Another advantage of this mnemonic method is that it can highlight the unusual meanings of some common words, because different meanings of polysemous words may be classified into different meaning groups. For example, resources can be divided into three meaning groups, which, together with material and naturalization, mean "material resources"; Means "method" together with methods and approaches; Used with with, it means "resourceful"
Five, other memory methods
Frankly speaking, as long as it is conducive to the memory of words, everyone can try their best to remember them, and sometimes even ignore whether they are scientific or not. Let's introduce several effective vocabulary memory methods for your reference. Students can also consciously summarize and explore effective word memory methods suitable for them when learning words. However, once you find a good method, please don't forget to share it with everyone.
1, basic meaning association method
This method makes use of the law of meaning expansion of polysemous words, first grasps the most basic meaning of words, and then easily remembers words according to the relationship between other meanings and basic meanings. For example, if we know that the basic meaning of immediate(ly) is "no interval", then it is easy for us to remember its three meanings: 1) (time) immediately2) (space) next to each other, next to each other, followed closely; 3) (relationship) direct.
2. Form-meaning association method
The method is to find out the similarity of words in shape and meaning, and use their similarity to expand memory. For example, we can associate the words ball, balloon, balloon, bullet and so on, that is, they are all related to the ball: the balloon is a big balloon, the balloon is a paper ball for voting, and the bullet is a small metal ball. For another example, the words "brace", "bracket", "brake" and "branch" all contain br, just like holding your hands open and forward. The Chinese meaning of these words also contains an image of holding or holding.
3. Interesting sentence-making methods
This method is to string a group of words with an interesting sentence. For example, the words "baby", "bachelor", "bad", "bacon", "bad", "bacteria" and "balance" are not related in spelling and meaning, and can be penetrated by an example. A childless bachelor lost his balance and was seriously ill because he ate some bad bacon with bacteria and was awarded a badge. A childless bachelor lost his balance and was seriously ill because he ate some bacon with bacteria and was awarded a medal.
This sentence is ridiculous, but it skillfully connects all the places together and reflects the usage of each word. Because most words start with the same letter, they have a phonological effect and are catchy to read.
4. Cleverly use the same ingredients between words to remember new words from familiar words.
For example, from the East, we can expand our memory of wild animals, feasts and years. By acquiring, including, maintaining, supporting and retaining.
5. Piecewise memory association
This method is to divide a word into several words or parts, and use their meanings to associate, so as to achieve the effect of image memory. For example, charisma of leaders can split the memory like this: Cha can be regarded as China, Reese and Ma can be regarded as the rise, and Mao together is the rise of China. (China raised Mao Zedong)-As a leader, Mao Zedong has extraordinary charm.
