当你有很多单字都不知道时，增加你的英文字汇似乎使人气馁。像是你永远不能到达那里？这里有一些忠告来帮助你增强字汇能力。



Learn by doing!运用身体学习比头脑学习要来得快！这是真的：当我们用做的来学习比看的或是听的还来得快。不要只是看及听这些新的单字。运用它们！说出它们。把它们写下来。读它们。一再地练习每一个新单字，直到它不是你要记得的-而是你所知道的。



Seek and you shall find!主动尝试发现新单字。如果你发现有一些英文单字你不知道意思，快查看看那是什么意思！可以利用网络或字典查询，然后把它写在笔记本上。你的字汇能力将每天增加。



Play a game!玩单字游戏是很好扩充字汇的方式。如果你知道答案-很棒！如果你不知道-也很好！你已经在学新单字了，所以你绝不会浪费时间。试试看单字游戏，例如：crossword puzzles、Scrabble和Hangman。

It's your cue!藉由cue cards(写下一些单字或是词组在纸上)放在一些具体的地方像是，厨房、卧房和浴室是很好学习新单字的方式。事实上，如果你每天都在看而不记得这些单字是不可能的！



Make use of multimedia.欣赏英文电影和尝试抓住所有单字。如果你听到一些你不知道的单字，把它写下来。你可以在报纸上划下新单字。从你喜欢的音乐中学习单字。让学习英文更有趣而不乏味。




Take a guess!你可以经常从文章当中猜出字意。其它的单字在句子当中是什么意思？试着去想象一下。如果有人说：「I saw a movie at the cinema」，你并不知道那个单字'cinema'猜一下它的意思。你将会很惊讶你猜对的频率！

Building your English vocabulary can seem daunting when there are so many words you don't know. Feel like you'll never get there? Here are some tips to help you boost your word power.



Learn by doing! The body learns faster than the brain! It's true: when we do something, we learn faster than by watching or hearing it. Don't just look and listen for new words. Use them! Speak them. Write them down. Read them. Practice every new word that you learn over and over again, until it's not something you remember - it's something you know



Seek and you shall find! Be active in trying to discover new words. If you come across something you don't know the English word for, find out what it is! Look it up on the Internet or in a dictionary, then write it down in a notebook. Your vocabulary will grow every day.

Play a game! Playing word games is a great way to expand your vocabulary. If you know the answers ?awesome! If you don't - even better! You've just learned a new word, so you can't lose. Try word games like crossword puzzles, Scrabble and Hangman.

It's your cue! Pasting cue cards (pieces of paper used to write down a word or phrase) on objects in your kitchen, your bedroom, and your bathroom is a great way to learn new words. In fact, it's impossible not to remember these words if you are looking at them all the time!

Make use of multimedia. Watch English movies and try to catch all the words. If you hear a word you don't know, write it down. Highlight new words you come across in newspapers. Learn the words to your favorite songs. Make learning English fun, rather than tedious.

Take a guess! You can often guess a word's meaning using context. What were the other words in the sentence? Try to make a picture in your mind. If someone says, "I saw a movie at the cinema," and you don't know the word 'cinema,' guess what it means. You'll be surprised how often you will guess correctly!
