但凡有关某一类的英语考试,大家好象总是最先瞩目单词的问题,其实关于背单词,网上的经验也算是数不胜数了,经过我的长时间查阅和个人的实践,发现比较流行也算是通说的就是那个关于“遗忘曲线”和“如何在三个月内背下多少多少单词”的贴子了!
那么这个遗忘曲线具体指的是什么呢?其实说到根子上,就是通常我们在记忆的时候一到这几个时间点,就会特别容易将你背过的单词忘记,而如果你在这几个时间点注意一下,并主动去复习的话,就不会出现总是背完就忘的情况。现将遗忘曲线的具体时间点打在下面,大家可以参考:
遗忘曲线:5分钟,30分钟,12小时,1天,2天,4天,7天,15天
其实,无论什么背单词的经验,无论作者采取何种方法,都不过是在试图告诉我们一件事情:背单词一定要重复,重复,再重复!
记住这一点,相信大家知道如何去做了!一个单词如果你每天在不同时间都重复那么几十遍,你会记不住吗?:)不要担心自己的单词量总是不够,有几个人现在敢说大纲的词汇已经全掌握了?
或许马上就有朋友发问:“你这不也是白说嘛!我就是记不住单词,你能把我怎么办?”呵呵,是不能把你怎么样!可是我要告诉你,在这里我们所探讨的一切都是为考研而服务的,用我的家乡话说,就是没必要“整景儿”,一切都是为了拿分!那么分在哪呢?——在阅读上!
阅读在考博中占有什么样的地位不用再叙述了!我只想告诉大家:背单词,你要结合考博阅读的真题背!!!相信大多数朋友还没有开始做真题吧!:)那么你从现在就要开始了!真题可以到【考博英语题库APP】里面去找,而且还能够在线标注知识点,便于自己后期整理笔记。另外,还有每日十题,包括了单选和阅读理解,也是一个拓宽词汇量的途径。
那么具体要怎么去做呢?我希望大家按以下步骤来尝试一下:(注意:现在单纯从解决单词学习的角度出发,而非论述如何做阅读的问题!)
1找出一篇文章中所有你根本不会和你说不准的单词;
2严格按照大纲中的中文解释记忆;
3用英英字典将该单词解释出来并记忆(这是本方法的重中之重)。
就拿下面一段给大家做个实例:
if you intend using humor in your talk to make people smile, you must know how to identify shared experiences and problems. your humor must be relevant to the audience and should help to show them that you are one of them or that you understand their situation and are in sympathy with their point of view. depending on whom you are addressing, the problems will be different. if you are talking to a group of managers, you may refer to the disorganized methods of their secretaries; alternatively if you are addressing secretaries, you may want to comment on their disorganized bosses.
在这段里找出你所不认识或拿不准的单词,经过1,2两步后,借助字典(英英那种的)做出自己的词汇笔记,例如:
1 intend v.
have (a particular purpose or plan)in mind ;
ex: it’s not what i intended (it to be).
2 identify v.
recognize sb./sth. (as being the specified person or thing). P: kQZ;R}K
consider sth. to be identical with sth. ; equate two things.
3 relevant a.
connected with what is being discussed, what is happening, what is being done.
ex: colour and sex are hardly relevant when appointing somebody to a job.
4 sympathy n.
(capacity for) sharing the feeling of others; feeling of pity and sorrow (for sb.).
ex: feel great sympathy for sb.
feeling or expression of approval.
ex: my sympathies are with the workers in this dispute.
5 refer v.
mention or speak of sb./sth.; allude to sb./sth.
ex: don’t refer to this matter again, please.
turn to sth./sb. for information
ex: i referred to my watch for the exact time.
6 method n. way (of doing sth.)
如果你细心的话,你就会发现事实上我每一个单词的英英解释,都是严格按照大纲上的中文解释查的!如此坚持下去,岂有搞不定阅读和单词之理?!
可能在最初你会觉得很麻烦甚至枯燥,认为太浪费时间,但别忘记,你所花费时间记忆的,正是大纲要求你记忆的词汇,而且在每一个英文解释中,你还会学到更多的单词,相信大家会有同感。更重要的是,一定要你亲自出马去做,别忘记“吃别人嚼过的馍是永远没有滋味儿的”!
用心,花时间,乃是成功的不二法则!
