Learning English, efficient method is extremely important, more output per unit time, people will have a sense of achievement, learning English will naturally become a happy harvest process. People are eager for self-improvement, which exists in everyone's nature, even those who claim to be the least fond of learning. And the winner is just the one who finds the right pattern.

Winners are simply people who find the right mode to persevere.

There are three kinds of English learners in China

1. There is no way out when you are forced to go abroad or work. You must learn to make a fight in life

2. Because of interest -- the lucky winner of life

3. Not too much pressure, not too much interest, but know that learning English is certainly good - even in the middle of life

The first two kinds of people are motivated by objective factors and interest. Motivation leads to persistent efforts, which bring fruitful results. Therefore, they can always persist and learn English. How to make the last group learn English is the problem we want to discuss today.

Send you a word, perseverance is unreliable, there is no sense of achievement support, simply can not hold on for long. When a fat man swears to lose weight, don't believe him, because he must have just had enough.

So how to make the sense of achievement come ahead of time? Let's talk about the following four aspects: memorizing words, learning grammar, understanding thinking and forming habits.

（1） Memorize words

How do you remember words? Look with your eyes, and then use your brain to remember the alphabetic order, and then remember the meaning of Chinese. Do you remember? I didn't remember!

Your so-called memory, called "instant memory", will soon disappear without a trace, and there are many similar words will interfere with each other, then forget faster. To learn a language, we need to learn like a baby. Babies memorize words with their ears and mouth, while you learn by your eyes.

If a baby can't see, he can learn to speak, but if he can't hear, he won't learn to speak. So the ear is the most important organ for a baby to learn language. If he has a problem with his mouth and can't speak, he can also learn to read and write. His mouth is the second most important organ in language learning.

If the way of memorizing words is that eyes dismember words - memorize alphabetic order - strengthen repetition, it is not in line with nature's design of human body structure.

The correct way to remember words is muscle memory training, recording pronunciation in the muscles of the mouth and ears, because English is a language that can speak and write, which is very different from Chinese. Chinese pinyin and writing are separated, while English spelling only records pronunciation. Chinese characters are transformed from pictures. The illiterate can speak, but those who can speak may not be able to read. English letters are arranged and combined according to pronunciation. If you know the pronunciation, you will be able to write.

Memorize words - concentrate on learning

Focus on the time plate for word memory, daily fixed time and quantitative target execution.

Step one: listen and read. You can listen before you read, read while you listen, or read before you listen. The first two do not need to be explained, they are both the process of practicing and memorizing following the standard sound. The last one is to read before listening, that is, to read the words according to the phonetic symbols first, and then click on the pronunciation for comparison, to find the problem of their own pronunciation, and to treat the word memory with a speculative method.

Step 2: review. Repeat the above steps.

Step 3: check. Self check whether you have memorized yesterday's words completely. You can cover the English part of the entry, only look at the Chinese meaning, to see if you can read and spell the word. If you recall it completely, you can let go of the word. But if you don't remember it completely, mark it and do another round.

Memorizing words - decentralized learning

Memorizing words in the whole time needs strong willpower and high self-control, while scattered learning does not need to mobilize too much willpower, so it can master more words faster. It is suggested to take a mini notebook with you, write the words on it, and read them as long as you have time. These words see more, naturally produce feelings, want to forget also can't forget.

（2） Learning grammar

Grammar is not memorized. We should combine the two languages through Chinese comparison and learn by comparison. Here, we are not talking about the immersion learning of English from young children, or the fans who always regard English as their mother tongue. We are thinking about the practical problems of most people.

Basic sentence patterns in English

There are five sentence forms in English

Subject predicate the sun rises

He enjoys reading

I am starring. The diner smiles good

She ordered herself a new dress. I play them some pictures

We keep the house clean. I tell them to protect the environment

In the same sentence, we can say "I give them some pictures, I give them some pictures." English can not, only according to different verbs to express.
