我对写作是特别偏执的。
一个例子就是:我会花很长时间来决定是用who 还是whom。
(有时候为了保证用词的正确性,我甚至会重新写一个新的句子。
)用词的正确性是很重要的。
如果你的简历上出现了错别字,那毫无疑问,你的简历将会被扔进垃圾桶。
就像错别字一样,没有使用合适的词会曲解你的本意。
不管你觉得公不公平,这就是事实。
所以,这篇文章就是帮助你避免这些悲剧的发生。
1、Advise andAdviceAdvise跟advice的发音不仅不一样(s在advise发音是z),而且advise是动词,advice 是名词。
当你跟别人建议的时候,advice 是你给别人的建议(不管他们有没有接受)。
所以,不要说"Thank you for the advise "(谢谢你建议我)。
如果想委婉拒绝别人的建议,可以说"I advise you not to bore me with your advice in the future"(我建议你以后不要再拿你的建议来烦我了)。
如果你还是很难区别他们的话,那就将每个词都大声读出来,这样你就很容易知道哪个是对的。
千万不要说"I advice you to…."(我advice你去干嘛干嘛)。
2、Ultimate andPenultimate最近我听到一位负责公关的人说"(Acme Industries) provides the penultimate value-added services for discerning professionals."(意即Acme Industries 为高质量要求的人群提供了penultimate 质量的服务)。

Table of ContentsIntroductionThe English language has an enormous vocabulary, and this results in many words that are very similar. Some of them are different by just one letter, like moral and morale. Others differ in their spelling and pronunciation, like incite and insight.There are many pairs of words that appear to mean the same thing – such as historic and historical, or definitely and definitively – but actually have different definitions and uses.It can be very confusing for you as an English learner!You want to speak correctly and avoid miscommunications, but you’re not quite sure about the exact meaning and use of each word. Some students even avoid using particular words because of their doubts.This book aims to clarify more than 600 of the most common confusing words in English. Every entry has various example sentences s that you can see how each word is normally used.To learn the most from this book, I would suggest trying to write your own example sentences after reading each entry. This will help establish the meaning of the words firmly in your mind, so that you won’t forget them.Best wishes.a / an / oneUse one when the number is important; when you want to emphasize that it is only one (and not two or three or more):∙One of these eggs is rotten, but the others are OK.∙I wanted to buy three CDs, but I didn’t have enough money, so I bought only one.In all other cases, when the fact of being “one” is not important, use a / an:∙I had an omelet for breakfast.∙I bought a new CD yesterday.What about the difference between a and an? We use an before words beginning with a vowel sound, and a before all other words:∙an apple / a banana∙an ice cream cone / a piece of cake∙an egg / a carrot∙an omelet / a steak∙an umbrella / a uniform(because “uniform” is pronounced yuniform)∙an hour / a hat(we use an with hour because the H in hour is silent, but the H in hat is not)able / capableThe difference between these words is extremely small – but usually we use able to describe current things someone can do,and capable to talk about someone’s future potential. It is not a strict rule, just a general tendency.∙She’s able to play a song perfectly after hearing it only once.(she can currently do this)∙She’s capable of becoming a successful musician.(she has the possibility of doing this in the future)∙This technology has the ability to grow crops in the desert.(it can currently do this)∙This technology has the capability to end world hunger.(it has the possibility of doing this in the future)The opposite of able is unable, and the opposite of capable is incapable.∙The disease made him unable to move without pain.(he currently cannot move without pain)∙The treatments are incapable of curing the disease.(there is no possibility of curing the disease with the treatments)Note that we say able to, but capable of:∙The martial artist is able to break a concrete block with his bare hands.∙Good thing he’s very calm –I don’t think he’s capable of violence.accident / incidentYou may hear the words accident and incident to refer to events in the news. These words are easy to confuse, but they are not exactly the same! Incident is more general, and accident is more specific.Incident can refer to any event - big or small, good or bad, intentional or unintentional. A bank robbery, a funny or controversial situation, an argument between celebrities, etc. - all can be described as incidents.An accident is a bad event caused by error or by chance. Accidents are always unintentional, and they usually result in some damage or injury. A car crash is one example of an accident. If some equipment malfunctions in a factory and injures the workers, that is also an accident. Examples of very minor accidents are when you step on someone's foot or spill your coffee on someone else. You didn't want or plan to do it.All accidents can ALSO be described as incidents – but not all incidents are accidents.If a drunk driver runs his car into a group of people, that is an accident (he did not intend to do it; it was caused by alcohol and by chance). It could also be described as an incident ("The incident occurred on Main Street at around 2:30 AM").If some troublemaking teenagers throw rocks at a house and break its windows, that is an incident (an event) but not an accident (because they did it on purpose; they intended to do it).accurate / exact / preciseThe word exact means that something is perfectly correct.∙an exact replica/copy∙someone’s exact words; the exact wording/phrase∙exact measurements∙an exact amount∙the exact date/time/placeThe word accurate can mean "perfectly correct" as well, but it can also mean "almost correct; correct enough to be useful."∙an accurate number, measurement, calculation= a correct number, measurement, calculation∙an accurate description, information, translation, prediction, estimate, memory= completely or mostly correct; any tiny differences from the truth are notsignificant enough to matterWe can use adverbs of degree with the word accurate:∙Something can be extremely/perfectly/totally accurate– this means it is perfectly correct, it is exact.∙Something can be reasonably/generally/largely/pretty/fairly accurate–this means it is not perfectly correct; there are some mistakes, but it is correct in general.The word precise also means "perfectly correct":∙the precise wording of the contract= the same words contained in the contract∙precise measurements = measurements that are correct∙at that precise moment = at exactly that momentIt has an additional meaning that is "clearly expressed" or "carefully distinct"∙ a precise description = a clear and detailed description∙precise directions = clear and detailed directions∙Can you be more precise? = Can you say it more clearly and specifically?ache / pain / hurtAn ache is discomfort that continues for some time. It is usually associated with a specific part of the body, such as a headache, a stomachache, a toothache, and an earache. After you exercise, the next day your muscles will probably ache. An ache is usually not extremely strong, so you can try to ignore it.Pain is usually stronger, more sudden, and more difficult to ignore. You would feel pain when you cut yourself or hit your head on something. If you exercise and you injure yourself – break a bone or tear a muscle – you would feel a sudden pain.We also have the expression “aches and pains,” which describes general and various physical discomforts. Your 90-year-old grandfather might complain about all the “aches and pains” he has at his age!Hurt is a little different because it is usually used as an adjective or verb, not a noun. To describe an ache or a pain, you could say:∙My ankle hurts. = I have a pain/ache in my ankle.∙My neck hurts. = I have a pain/ache in my neck.∙My shoulders hurt. = I have a pain/ache in my shoulders.Hurt is also used to mean “injure”:∙Don’t play with that knife – you could hurt yourself.∙He was badly hurt in the car accident.Finally, all three of these words can be used to refer to emotional pain as well as physical pain:∙My son is in prison; the situation is causing me a lot of heartache.(heartache = emotional anguish)∙It took her years to move past the pain of her divorce.(pain = emotional injury)∙I was extremely hurt that he didn’t invite me to his wedding.(hurt = upset, sad)actual / current / presentActual is very different from current and present.Current and present refer to things happening now (not in the past or future). Actual refers to things that are true (not things that are false).∙The current unemployment rate is 8%.= the rate now∙This article claims that unemployment is at 5%, but the actual rate is around 8%. = the correct rate∙Barack Obama is currently the president of the United States.= he is the president now∙The language spoken in Brazil is actually Portuguese, not Spanish.= “actually” is used to make a correction. Portuguese is the true languagespoken in BrazilNow, what about current and present? These two words are usually the same. Sometimes, current is used in the sense of "generally now" and present is often used more in the sense of "immediately now, in this place/moment."∙My girlfriend currently lives in New York, but she’s in Los Ange les at present.= in general, she is in New York, but at this very moment, she is in Los Angeles.∙The current situation is good, but the present case is an emergency.= in general the situation is good nowadays, but right now we have anemergencyAt present always means "now." But there can be some confusion with the word presently, which can mean "now" or "very soon."∙He will be here presently.= He will be here very soon.∙She is presently working on a new project.= She is working on a new project right now.You can know which meaning it has by the verbs: if presently is used with "will," then it means "very soon in the future." If presently is used with "is/are" or other verbs in the present tense, then it means "now."administrator / boss / managerA manager is somebody who has a level of control and responsibility over other people in a company or organization. For example, in a small clothing store, the salespeople would be responsible for selling clothes and helping customers... and the manager would be responsible for making the salespeople's schedule, organizing the store's finances, training new salespeople, and resolving any problems among the employees.The word boss simply refers to the person above you in the company hierarchy. Let's say we have a company with a:∙President∙Vice-president∙Director∙Manager∙EmployeesIf you are one of the employees, then the manager is your boss. If you are the director, then the vice-president is your boss.Your boss is the person supervising you, who may be responsible for evaluating your work or giving approval for certain decisions.An administrator is simply a person who does administrative work (working with documents, paperwork, information and data, etc.) An administrator can also be a manager or boss if he or she is the leader of a team of employees... or an administrator can simply be a regular employee.adverse / averseThe word adverse refers to something that is opposing – it goes against what you want, and is often unfavorable, harmful or challenging.∙Heavy rain, high winds, or icy roads are adverse weather conditions (because they interfere with the operation of normal life and transportation).∙If a medicine makes the patient’s health get worse, not better, it is having an adverse effect.∙If a decision has adverse consequences, it means that the results are opposite from what you wanted.Some people pronounce this word AD – verse, and others pronounce it ad – VERSE.We often use the noun form, adversity, for difficult conditions. Someone who grew up in a very poor family and later became very financially successful has overcome adversity.While the word adverse describes a situation, the word averse describes people, and it means the person is not willing to do something:∙If your parents want everything to stay the same, they are averse to change.∙Someone who doesn’t think it’s a good idea to invest money in the stock market is averse to risk.The noun form is aversion, and it also refers to a strong dislike or unwillingness to do something. If you have an aversion to broccoli, it means you really don’t like broccoli and are not likely to eat it.advice / adviseAdvice is a noun, and advise is a verb:∙She gave me some good advice.∙She advised me to get some rest.There’s also a pronunciation difference:advice has an “S” sound, and advise has a “Z” sound.Don’t make the common error of saying “advices” – the word advice is uncountable. However, you can say “pieces of advice”:∙The consultant gave me three pieces of advice for my business.affect / effectAffect is a verb used for the process of one thing causing another thing to change. Effect is a noun, and it means the end result of some change.∙This disease is affecting my ability to breathe.∙The medicine had an instant effect on the pain.In spoken English, affect and effect are pronounced the same.afraid / scared / frightenedWhen using these words to describe someone’s emotionalstate – after the ve rb “to be” and before “of” – you can useafraid or scared with no change in meaning.∙She’s afraid of spiders. = She’s scared of spiders.“Frightened of” can also be used, but it’s not as common.However, when used in the active voice, and the SUBJECT of the sentence is the scary thing, you can use only scared or frightened:∙The loud noise scared me.∙The loud noise frightened me.You can also use scary or frightening to describe something that causes fear:∙It was a scary experience.∙It was a frightening experience.after / laterUse after + phrase, and use later alone (at the end of a sentence or phrase).∙I'll call you later.I'll call you after I get home from work.∙First he bought a new car. Two weeks later, he bought a new motorcycle.He bought a new motorcycle two weeks after he bought a car.You can say "later + time period" to refer to an unspecified time in the future, which is still within the period, for example:∙I'll finish the project later this week.∙We'll go on vacation later this year.Never end a sentence with "after." Instead, you can use "afterwards"∙"Did you go straight home after the baseball game?""No, we went out for drinks after.""No, we went out for drinks afterwards."agenda / itinerary / scheduleAn agenda is a list or program of things to be done. Workers who are well-organized will often have an agenda for meetings – a list of specific topics to discuss, or things to accomplish during the meeting.If something is "on the agenda" or "on your agenda," it means that people are willing to discuss it or work on it.We also have the expression "a hidden agenda," meaning a secret plan that you are hiding by pretending you have a different intention.Some people also use the word agenda to mean their calendar. If someone asks if you are free for lunch next week, you might say, "Let me check my agenda" to find out which day you are available.The word itinerary is a list or plan of things to do during a trip. On an organized tour, the travel agency will give the travelers an itinerary describing the different places they will go and things they will see.A schedule is a list of things to be done at a certain time. A conference, for example, might have a schedule like this:∙Breakfast 7-9 AM∙Main speaker 9-10:30 AM∙Workshop 11-12∙Lunch 12-2 PMPublic transportation like buses and trains also have schedules. Another word for schedule, when used as a noun, is "timetable."Schedules can also be for long-term projects - the schedule defines what tasks must be done by a certain date. For example, the construction of a building: ∙Lay the foundation - by Feb. 1∙Build the structure - by July 1∙Install the electrical systems - by August 1When referring to longer-term projects, another word for schedule is timeline.If something is done or progressing faster than expected, it is "ahead of schedule" - and if something is delayed, it is "behind schedule."Finally, the word schedule can be used as a verb for establishing an appointment or action at a certain time, for example: "I scheduled my dentist appointment for next Thursday."ago / back / beforeAgo and back are used for past times from the present moment:∙I graduated from high school ten years ago.(ten years in the past from today)∙We sent the package three days ago.(three days in the past from today)∙I moved here about five years back.(informal – five years in the past from today)Before and earlier are used for past times from another time in the past. Here are some examples:∙Yesterday I missed my train. I got to the train station at 7:10, but the train had left ten minutes before. (or ten minutes earlier)(= ten minutes before 7:10 yesterday)∙I was very happy when I got this job last January, because I had lost my previous job six months before. (or six months earlier).(= six months before last January)aid / assist / helpThere is no difference in meaning between these three words, but there are some slight differences in the way they fit in the sentence.Help is the most common and most informal (aid and assist are both more formal).Aid is more commonly used as a noun, not a verb:∙ a hearing aid is a small electronic device that helps people with hearing problems to hear better∙first aid is the initial medical care given immediately after an accident or injury∙government aid is official help from the government∙humanitarian aid is helping people who are suffering after a disaster, or suffering from disease, poverty, or warThere is also a word aide (pronounced the same way!) which refers to a person whose task is to help - an assistant. A nurse's aide, a teacher's aide, etc.Now let's look at the two verbs: help and assist.After help, we can use a verb with or without "to":∙He helped me understand the lesson.= He helped me to understand the lesson.∙Can you help us carry these books?= Can you help us to carry these books?In everyday spoken English, it's probably more common not to use "to."After assist, we must use in + -ING form of the verb or with + noun:∙I'm happy to assist you in creating a website.I'm happy to assist you with your website.∙This program assists people in finding a job.This program assists people with their job search.The noun form of help is also help, but the noun form of assist is assistance:∙Thank you for your help.∙Thank you for your assistance.Thank you for your assist.∙I'm so grateful for all the help I've received from the team.∙I'm so grateful for all the assistance I've received from the team.aim / goal / objectiveMany people use these words interchangeably; there is really very little difference between them. In everyday spoken English, the most common word is goal.Aim and objective are usually used in more formal writing.One small difference is that an objective is more specific than a goal, for example: ∙Our goal is to improve health care for children.general∙Our objective is to provide 10,000 children with vaccines.specificHowever, in casual conversation, most people would use goal for both general and specific things:∙My goal is to lose weight.∙My goal is to lose 20 pounds by the summer.The words goal and objective are nouns, and the word aim can be a noun or a verb: ∙The aim of this project is to increase our students' motivation.aim = noun∙We're aiming to increase our students' motivation.aim = verbalien / foreigner / strangerA stranger is a person you don't know:∙When I was a child, my mother taught me not to get into a car with a stranger.∙When my car broke down, a kind stranger stopped to help me.A foreigner is someone who comes from another country:∙This town is a popular tourist destination, so there are always a lot of foreigners around.∙The new law makes it easier for foreigners to get documents to work legally.∙ A lot of foreigners have been moving into this neighborhood –I’ve met people from seven different countries in my apartment building alone!The word alien is a legal term for foreigner. It is usually used to describe "illegal aliens" (people who are in the country illegally) or "resident aliens" (people who are living in the country legally). Again, this is formal/legal language and in everyday speaking it's best to use foreigner.Alien also refers to creatures from other planets; it isanother word for extraterrestrial.alive / life / liveThe word l-i-v-e has two pronunciations:The verb live (with the "i" sound in "sit") means to reside:∙I live in a small house.∙She lives in France.The adjective live (with the "i" sound in "like") has a few different meanings. When music or a TV broadcast is happening in real time (it was not previously recorded):∙There's live music at the bar on Friday nights.∙We're bringing you the latest news live fromWashington D.C.When an animal is alive, not dead:∙He found a live snake in his tent.The word life is also pronounced with the "i" in "like" and is a noun:∙I'm reading a book about the life of Albert Einstein.∙Do you think there's life on other planets?∙He has faced many difficulties in his life.The plural of life is lives:∙My parents are planning to live in Florida for the rest of their lives.∙Thousands of lives were lost in the war.The word alive is an adjective, and it also means "not dead":∙It's amazing he was still alive after being in the desert without water for four days.∙The oldest person alive is currently 124 years old.already / yetBoth yet and already are used with the present perfect tense.∙Already is usually used in positive sentences.∙Yet is usually used in questions and negative sentences.Imagine that you and your friend are going to travel. There are many things to do, and you ask your friend if he has done these things:∙Have you bought the tickets yet?∙Have you arranged a taxi yet?∙Have you reserved the hotel room yet?∙Have you packed the bags yet?In all the examples, use yet at the end of the question. Your friend might answer:∙Yes, I’ve already bought the tickets.∙Yes, I’ve already arranged a taxi.∙No, I haven’t reserved the room yet.∙No, I haven’t packed the bags yet.Use already in the positive answers, and yet in the negative answers.There is one time you can use already in questions: it’s when something happens earlier than expected. If your son finishes his homework in just 15 minutes, you could ask: “Have you already finished you r homework?!” because you were expecting it to take more time.all / whole / everyUse every with SINGULAR, countable nouns:∙I exercise every day.∙Every student in the class has a computer.∙Every necklace in this store costs more than $1,000.Use all with PLURAL nouns OR with uncountable nouns to mean 100% of many things:∙All of the students in the class have computers.∙All of the necklaces in this store are expensive.∙All of this furniture is new.= many pieces of furnitureWhen talking about time, there is a difference between every day and all day. If you study every day, it means you study on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. If you study all day, it means you study from early in the morning until late at night.Use whole (less formal) or entire (more formal) with uncountable or singular countable nouns to mean 100% of one thing:∙I ate the whole pizza.= 100% of one pizza.∙I finished reading the entire book in three days.=100% of one book.Here are more examples that show the difference between all and whole/entire: ∙I ate the entire cupcake.= 100% of one cupcake.∙I ate all the cupcakes.= 100% of many cupcakes∙The whole apple is rotten.= 100% of one apple.∙All the fruit is rotten.= 100% of many apples, bananas,grapes, etc.all of / each ofWe use each to talk about objects individually, and all to talk about objects as a group:∙The teacher gave a different task to each student.(“each” emphasizes the individuality of the members of the group)∙The teacher gave tests to all the students.(“all” emphasizes the students as a group)In a similar way, each of the members of a group emphasizes them as individuals, and all of the members of a group emphasizes them as a whole:∙Each of these chairs is hand-crafted.∙All of the chairs are made in a factory.∙The doctor spends an hour with each of the patients.∙All of the patients think he’s a great doctor.With “each,” we ALWAYS use the singular form of the verb:∙Each of these chairs are is hand-crafted.= Each chair is hand-crafted.∙Each of the patients were was seen by the doctor.= Each patient was seen by the doctor.Sentences with “all of” use the singular form of the verb if the noun is singular, and the plural form of the verb if the noun is plural:∙All of the beer is imported.(beer = singular)∙All of the bottles are recyclable.(bottles = plural)∙All your advice was excellent.(advice = singular)∙All your suggestions were excellent.(suggestions = plural)all ready / already / all right / alrightAll ready and all right (two words) mean that everything is ready or everything is correct / OK:∙The students are all ready for the test.= All the students are ready for the test.∙Your answers are all right.= All your answers are right.Already means that something happened earlier than expected:∙He’s only 14 and he’s already graduated from high school –he’s a ge nius!∙The repairs on my car are finished already? Wow, that was fast.∙You don’t have to wash the dishes –I’ve already done it.All right can also mean OK/uninjured, acceptable, or average.∙Are you all right?= Are you OK? (after someone falls down and may have injured themselves)∙If it’s all right with you, we’ll reschedule the meeting.= If it’s acceptable to you∙The food at that restaurant is all right.= Average; not especially great, but not bad eitherAlright is a variant of “all right” that is not considered correct, even though many people use it informally.allow / let / permitThese verbs all have the same meaning. The difference is in their grammatical structure:LET + PERSON/THING + VERB (base form –without “to”)Examples:∙I don’t let my kids watch violent movies.∙Mary’s father won’t let her adopt a puppy because he’s allergic to dogs.∙Our boss doesn’t let us eat lunch at our desks; we have to eat in the cafeteria.∙Oops! I wasn’t paying attention while cooking, and I let the food burn.∙Don’t let the advertising expenses surpass $1000.The simple past tense of let is also let; there is no change!The verbs allow and permit are more formal ways to say “let.” However, with allow and permit, we use to + verb:∙I don’t allow my kids to watch violent movies.∙Our boss doesn’t permit us to eat lunch at our desks.Permit is the most formal, let is the least formal, and allow is in the middle.With permit and allow, we can also say that something is or is notpermitted/allowed:∙Smoking is not allowed.∙Employees are allowed to take a one-hour lunch break.∙Passengers are not permitted to use cell phones duringtakeoff.∙With a tourist visa, you are permitted to stay in thecountry for 90 days.allude / eludeIf you allude to something, it means you refer to it indirectly, without saying it specifically. For example, if there is a software program with lots of bugs and errors, the developer might allude to the problems by saying “The process of developing the software has been very challenging.” – He does not mention the problems, but he hints at them by describing the development as “challenging.”If someone has just received a promotion, they might allude to it by saying they’re happy about recent events at work. Again, the person didn’t specifically say “I’mh appy because I got a promotion,” they just referred to it very indirectly.The word elude means to avoid or escape from something – we often talk about criminals eluding the police or eluding capture.。

记住英语单词的技巧
英语是一种拼音文字,大多数字母和字母组合都有一定的发音规律。
只要注意观察,就会发现拼写和读音之间的`联系。
1、记准每个单词
要想快速、准确并且大量的记单词,正确发音是一个重要途径。
宋代学者朱熹说过,读书要三到:心到、眼到、口到。
学习过程中感官参与的越多,识记的效果就越好。
因此,在学习单词时既要看形,也要读音;既要动手去写,又要动口去念,使多种感官参加记忆,通过多种渠道获得信息,这样可以在头脑中对同一个词形成多种暂时神经联系,日后即使有某一联系中断了,也可以其他联系为线索,把这个词回忆起来。
2、掌握记忆步骤
课堂上许多学生看到单词表中的生词,首先进行的是拼写,这样在有限的时间里,很难把涉及的单词都记下来。
即使记下来了,由于对单词的读音和汉语意思注意不够,当老师说到这个单词时也反映不出是哪个单词;而当他们看到那个单词时,又不知道其汉语意思,这样影响了听课和理解课文,而且,时间稍微一久就会很快忘记这些单词。
做事情讲求提纲携领。
学单词也要先抓主要矛盾。
首先要对照音标读准单词,直到离开音标也能准确流利地读出来。
接下来是看着单词记他们的汉语意思。
单词的汉语意思记下来以后再进行第三步——看着汉语说出相对应的英语单词。
以上这三个步骤做好后,即使不会拼写也不会影响听课和理解。
如果课堂上还有时间的话,可以进行第四步一一拼写单词。
经过前三个过程,我们已经对这个生单词“照过很多面”,不会对他的拼写很生疏,再加上一些发音知识,就会比较省力地记下单词的拼写。
3、联系上下文记单词
记下一个单词的发音、拼写、词义,并不一定真正掌握了这个词,
因为英语中有许多词是一词多意、一词多性或一词多音等,要真正掌握或判断其词义、词性等,只有依据句子,联系上下文来完成。
实战证明:联系上下文记单词,既可在句子中准确了解单词的读音、词义和用法,又能利用上下文的联系来记单词,防止遗忘。
4、及时复习,经常复习
单词学得多了,时间一长就容易遗忘,这是不可避免的。
防止遗忘的有效方法之一就是及时而经常地复习。
复习方法可多种多样,依据个人情况而定。
下面分别谈几种:
4.1 归纳法
把同一词根的词类归结在一起。
如relate,rela-tion,relationship,relative,relativity,relatively等。
4.2 分类法
按类的意义分别记忆。
如lizard,snake,serpent,python,cobra,snail,rattle—snake,centipede,worm,spider等。
4.3 对比法
把反义词放在一起。
如heavy和light,thick和thin,buy和sell,near和far,high和low,short和long,forget和remember,wrong和right等。
4.4 辨识法
把同义、近义词放在一起进行辨识。
如many,much,a lot of;close,shut,turn off,switch off;have to,must;because,since, for等。
4.5 比较各词的音型上的异同,防止混淆
如拼写上只有一个字母不同的词:light,fight,tight,right,night,might,sight;ball,bill,bell,boll,bull等,音同形异意不同的词:sun 和son;too和two等。
5、善于发现错误的记忆方式
英语中总会遇到一些单词,似乎是记下来了,但有时别人一打扰,自己立即会疑虑起来,感到有点吃不准。
如“烤鸭”是roastduck,还是toastduck。
遇到这种情况要勤查字典,字典是位知识渊博、百
问不厌的老师。
在字典上找到正确答案后,把她记在本子上,并根据自己的生活和学习经验,找出能够纠正错误记忆的有效方法。
记单词要将机械记忆和理解记忆结合起来。
记单词的方法很多,要在实践中找出适合自己的最佳途径,做到事半功倍。
小学生单词记不住现象:
1、以五六年级为例,其中一部分学生在三四年级基础不好,对英语缺乏兴趣,对英语单词更是畏惧,还有一部分学生只知道死记硬背,常常前面背了后面忘。
这部分学生通过掌握了一定的记忆方法,对单词记忆已有一定的进步,但与其他同学相比还存在一定差距,这部分学生将成为今后我们进一步关注的对象。
2、由于小学生年龄小,记忆力较差,再加上在汉语环境中学习英语,缺乏学习的氛围。
虽然掌握了一定的记忆方法,在短时间内能很好地记忆单词,但时间一久,那些课本中不常出现的单词因为不常被使用,学生很容易再次忘记。
因此,如何使学生长时间地或永久性地记忆单词是我们值得进一步研究的问题。
小学阶段英语课程刚设置不久,无论学生还是家长,在心理上对英语学习方式接受程度尚浅。
小学英语教学的目的是激发学生学习英语的兴趣,初学英语时的确是充满了浓厚的兴趣,但随着时间的推移,学习内容逐步增加,部分学生感到英语越来越难学了,特别是对于单词,小学生遗忘性大,思维能力有限,总是感到记不住单词,长久以往,必然影响孩子学习的兴趣。
因此,找出适合小学生的快速、有效的记忆方法,帮助学生轻松地记忆单词就显得十分迫切。
