11、se and repair them4 images: what people wear, details of houses5 actions: using your hands, e.g. cooking, driving6 places: names, directions7 people: names, faces8 smells: places, food5 Introduce some means of memories联想记忆法联想意指我们在记忆英语单词时不要孤立的记忆，要发挥思维潜能，一并记忆与之相关的词汇,联想可以是由部分联想到整体，以及其它事物，也可以是由某一特征联想到一类
12、事物，还可以是读音、词形、词义方面的扩充联想等等。如 result ,insult 等，这样就会记忆一个单词的同时又复习了其它的单词，而且不致于混淆。再如，学习 fetch 的时候，就应该想到它和 take ,bring ,carry 等单词在用法上的区别。当然，很简单的单词（已经掌握的）就不必如此，因人而异。bye, buy, by； tail, tale；steal, steel 近音：bed, bad；good, god 语境记忆法一个单词脱离了实际使用的语境，想记牢会用是难以做到的。将词汇置身于语境之中，通过反复阅读，提高认知能力，最后可以达到记忆的目的。语境记忆是国内外语言教学专家和
13、心理学家较为推崇的词汇记忆策略。分类记忆法分类记忆法是按主题，所属范围等条件对词汇进行分门别类汇总，然后综合记忆的方法。我们从医疗，购物外贸等方面归类，也可以按时间、决心、态度等主题进行汇总，然后根据记忆原则记忆。个人品质词汇 able 有才干的，能干的 active 主动的，活跃的adaptable 适应性强的 kind-hearted 好心的knowledgeable 有见识的 learned 精通某门学问的logical 条理分明的Love爱Hatred恨Joy喜乐Delight高兴Pleasure愉快feelingFear恐惧Anger怨Jealousy妒忌Sorrow伤心Despai
14、r绝望Grief悲痛词根词缀记忆法顾名思义，通过记住词根词缀，并据此推测含此类词根词缀的新词的意思，加以强化记忆。PrefixesCowith together : coexist, cooperationExformer :ex-wife, ex -presidentMinismall: miniskirt,minibusUn not opposite: uncertain, unsure, undressUni one :uniform Suffixes-age-to make nouns: shortage,storage-al-to make adjectives: experimen
15、tal, accidental, environmental -ation-to make nouns, a person who does sth. :rider, painter baker builder teacher -ify- to make verbs :beautify simplify -less -to make adjectives not have sth : hopeless, friendless -ness- to make nouns astate or quality sadness happiness weakness -ment -ship -or -fu
16、l根义记忆法词根有两种，一种是可以引申出许多同根词的词根，同时它也是一个独立的单词，例如 ease 作为独立单词，它又是 easy，easily，easiness 的词根。利用根义代替记忆多义，可以解决“没有生词” 却老读不懂的问题。比如要问 immediate（ly）a) The woman immediately behind the car.b) She is my immediate neighbour.c) the immediate cause若没有读懂，那么就请看 immediaie(ly)根义比较记忆法把同义词或形似词放在一起，加以区别、说明来掌握单词的方法。记忆的过程是一组组
17、，一对对单词 同时记忆。这种记忆方法可以记住单词拼写的同时，还掌握了词与词的区别和各自特殊的用法，于是将平时极易混淆的单词清楚地区别开。例如：1)单复数的比较 如：good-goods, spirit-spirits wood-woods 2)同音词的比较 如：right-write, eye-I 3)词的阴阳性的比较 如：actor-actress host-hostess4)近义词的比较 如： way-road-path-route-street路1 way: Wherever there is room for an object to proceed, there is a way.2
18、road: A road is a prepared way for traveling with horses or vehicles.3 path: A way suitable to be traveled only by foot passengers or by animals.4 route: A route is a line of travel, and may be over many roads.5street: A street is in some centre of habitation, as a city town or village, when it passes between houses of dwellings.Work in pairs.
