1. 不要妄想一遍就記住所有單詞。
不要相信自己的記憶力，記憶最擅長遺忘。
沒有五六遍，別強調自己背過。
2. 利用碎片時間。
單詞是非常依賴碎片記憶的，而且是隔一段時間再去記憶。
比如你昨晚背的東西，及時複習的效果，其實還不如你在排隊等午飯的時候看兩眼。
所以最有效的辦法就是在桌上貼幾個便利貼，隨時看兩眼，或者記在本子上，隨地拿出翻閱。
3. 根據語境背單詞。
一個單詞有好幾種意思，好幾種詞性，有的背了也不考，有的考了又忘了。
這大概是同學們背單詞最崩潰的地方了。
但其實這都是因為我們都習慣捧著單詞書背東西，根本不結合例句或者閱讀真題來考慮單詞，單詞也很委屈呀。
這裡建議同學們，背單詞一定要聯想句子，抄寫單詞的時候，也別忘把例句抄上。
You are going to get out of there. You're going to on and you're going to make lots of babies and you're going to watch them grow and you're going to die and old, an old lady, warm in your bed. Not there, Not this night, Not like this.
你一定會脫險的，你要活下去，生很多孩子，看著他們長大，你會安享晚年，安息在溫暖的床上，而不是今晚在這裡，不是象這樣的死去。
