生活百科高效学习英语的7个方式

【听力文本】

Many people find studying to be a real drag, but if you’re going to do it, you may as well do it right.

You Will Need

Distraction-free environment
Something to study
Pen and paper
Lectures, podcasts, and videos
Naps (optional)

Step 1: Choose the right environment（选择合适的学习环境）
Choose an environment for studying where you will be free from distractions including phone calls, television, or other interruptions.

Step 2: Prioritize your studies（分清主次）
Prioritize your study materials so that the most important or the hardest is finished first.

Step 3: Read for comprehension（边理解边看）
Read your materials over once for basic comprehension. Don’t stress about remembering it all on the first read.

Step 4: Read and take notes（做笔记）
Read the material again, taking notes and summarizing the main ideas in your own words.

Make new material stick by relating it to something you already know or care about. Context and emotion enhance our ability to remember.

Step 5: Use you senses（练习辅助学习材料）
Use your senses to assist with learning. When possible, don’t just read, but listen to lectures or podcasts, and watch instructional videos. Build a rich understanding of the material.

Step 6: Quiz yourself（自我测试）
Quiz yourself without the aid of any notes. Write down your answers or speak them aloud. In other words, rehearse for the test.

Take a nap after a heavy study session to allow your brain time to rest. Napping after studying can help with recall.

Step 7: Test yourself again（复习）
Test yourself again and again, at different times of the day and week. This “self-testing” will reinforce your studies so that when the real test arrives, you’ll be ready.
