第十:勤查字典。
词典(dictionary)是学习者的良师益友,是英语学习的 主要工具书。会查、会用词典是中学生应具备的一项 重要能力。我们所说的词典主要是指的综合性的或普 通英汉词典和用英语解释英语的词典。词典编纂的主 要单位是单词(word) 事实证明,使用工具书能力的强弱与自学效率的高低成 正比。因此,每一个决心学好英语的同学至少必备一 本词典,并随身携带,随时翻阅。请记住:经常翻阅 词典,可增强记忆力。
3.要学一些构词法知识。
构成词汇的方法叫构词法。大家都知道,英语 中有许多词是加上前缀或是后缀构成的。如: unhappily(不幸福地)是在adj.happy后面加上 ly(变y为i后)变成adv.,又在happily前面加上 前缀un-(表示否定,“不,非”)构成的。 所以掌握构词法知识是很重要的也是很有用的, 它不但使我们掌握词类和词义,而且会使一些 多音节词更为好记。对于构词法知识请参照九 年级课本P144Ⅳ构词法(World Formation)
