難度指數(shù)：★

時(shí)間要求：因人而異

Here's How:怎么做：

1. Choose a subject area that interests you very much.
選擇一個(gè)你感興趣的話題。

2. Write a short introduction to the subject trying to use as many vocabulary words concerning the subject as possible.
寫(xiě)一個(gè)關(guān)于這個(gè)話題的簡(jiǎn)短介紹，盡量多地用上與這個(gè)話題有關(guān)的詞匯。

3. Using your introduction, arrange the principle ideas concerning the subject into a vocabulary tree.
用你自己寫(xiě)的介紹整理出與此話題相關(guān)的主要概念，并制作一個(gè)單詞樹(shù)狀圖。

4. To create a vocabulary tree, put the subject at the center of a piece of paper.
在紙張中心寫(xiě)上主題名稱來(lái)繪制單詞樹(shù)狀圖。

5. Around the central subject, put the principle areas relating to the subject. Example - verbs, descriptive adjectives, where, etc.
圍繞中心話題，劃分出與主題相關(guān)的幾個(gè)區(qū)域，比如：動(dòng)詞、描述性形容詞、地點(diǎn)等等。

6. In each of these categories, write the appropriate vocabulary. If you need to, write sub-categories.
在每一個(gè)分類下，寫(xiě)上恰當(dāng)?shù)脑~匯。如果有需要，可以細(xì)化你的分類。

7. Create the same vocabulary tree in your native language.
用母語(yǔ)繪制同樣的樹(shù)狀圖。

8. Your native language tree will be much more detailed. Use this native language tree as a reference point to look up new words and fill in your English tree.
母語(yǔ)的樹(shù)狀圖會(huì)更詳細(xì)些。用母語(yǔ)樹(shù)形圖作為參考，尋找新的單詞填充英文樹(shù)形圖。

9. Rewrite your introductory essay concerning the subject taking advantage of the new vocabulary learned.
重寫(xiě)上面的介紹短文，用上新學(xué)的單詞。

10. To make this vocabulary active, practice reading your essay aloud until you can present it by memory.
要想自如使用這些新單詞，大聲朗讀你的短文直到可以背誦。

11. Ask a friend or fellow classmate to listen to your presentation and ask you questions about the subject.
找一個(gè)朋友聽(tīng)你的短文，并針對(duì)這個(gè)話題向你提問(wèn)。

Tips:貼士

1. Remember that vocabulary goes from passive knowledge to active knowledge - this means that you need to repeat a word often before it becomes active vocabulary.
記住背單詞都有一個(gè)從消極詞匯到積極詞匯的過(guò)程，即死記硬背到熟練掌握的過(guò)程，這就意味著要想熟練掌握一個(gè)單詞，你要反復(fù)地記憶。

2. Be patient with yourself, it takes time for this process to work.
對(duì)自己有耐心，這個(gè)過(guò)程需要時(shí)間。

3. Try to always learn vocabulary in groups of words instead of random lists. In this manner, words are related to each other and are more likely to remembered over the long-term.
試著從詞句間學(xué)習(xí)新單詞，而不要對(duì)著詞匯表學(xué)習(xí)。這樣，學(xué)到的詞匯就可以互相聯(lián)系，也更能夠長(zhǎng)時(shí)記憶。

你要用到的只有：紙張、字典和筆。就是這么簡(jiǎn)單粗暴，還不行動(dòng)起來(lái)嗎？
