用词根记忆单词,保证你记单词效率高的不要不要的!
首先,用词根记忆单词有什么好处?
英语单词就像我们的汉字一样,多数都不是孤零零单独创造的,而是由多个零件组成,这些零件就包含单词的词根、词缀,就像汉字的偏旁部首一样。
所以通过对词根词缀的学习,我们可以了解单词的内部变化规律,更加系统地提高学习技巧。当形成体系之后,我们就可以把数以千记的词汇串联起来,就像一个塑料袋,可以把很多的词汇商品装进去。把单词从含义和形式的角度串联起来,从而使得记忆更加经济高效。
其次,常见常用的词根其实就那些!
其实常见的词根并不难,很多词根在你学习的初高中阶段的词汇就已经出现了,我们完全可以利用我们已学的词汇来帮助记忆词根词缀,进而拓展新的单词,这个问题就完全解决了。
