我明白沒有人喜歡背單字,但是既然已經耗了這麼多年青春歲月,與其血本無歸,不如這次就認了,老老實實把這144個字背下來吧!
這裡有個比較不吃力的記憶方法,跟大家分享:

第一步:
將分成六組的這144個字紀錄在可以隨身攜帶的資料卡上面

第二步:
每個不熟悉的新字至少要經過三遍的反覆記憶,才能夠長期留在腦中,所以前7天,每天背21個字(不要按照字母順序從A開始背,最好是每一組開頭選三個就好),將144個字都先背誦過一遍後,第二遍花4天,第三遍花2天,就會有相當好的效果。

第三步:
將學過的字彙,大量運用在生活簡短的表達中,而不要背誦整個句子,增加負擔,也不要去記憶一個辭的多重意思,只要記憶其中最主要的就可以了。

學習如何正確使用這144個字,可以幫助無論在正式場合說話,或是書寫的時候,大幅提升內容的品質,這些字並不是像托福字彙那樣冷僻,古怪,讓人用來賣弄,而是實際上正式場合天都會派上用場的實用字,可以的話,製作成為字卡,隨身攜帶,直到自然而然能夠在日常使用為止。
就算沒有辦法記得144個,就算只熟練使用其中44個字,也絕對可以在任何正式場合讓人刮目相看。
