学习英语的过程中,记忆单词是必不可缺的一个环节。但是单纯地去记忆一些孤立的单词往往是枯燥乏味的,而且时间一常很容易让人们产生厌烦情绪,进而产生放弃学习的念头, 即使硬着头皮坚持,但是效果往往不佳,结果是功倍事半。
从心理学的角度来说,人的动机决定着人的行为方式,只有保持强烈的学习动机,我们才容易坚持下来,这是内在的动因。 同时我们也需要外界不断的激励,这些激励可以来自朋友、亲人、老师、同学、同事,也可以是来自一些好的书籍文章,其中名人名言往往更容易起到激励的作用,尤其是在我们面对失败和挫折的时候。很多取得成功的人都有自己的座右铭,而这些座右铭最重要的作用就是不断地提醒和鼓励。
在学习英语的过程中我很喜欢读一些名人名言,这些充满着智慧与哲理的精辟语句给我了很大的启发,我也同时发现一些所谓难记的单词在这样的句子里面非常容易记住。我把这样的一些单词和名言汇编起来,反复地看,反复地朗诵,既锻炼了口语,也记住了单词,当然最关键的是鼓励自己在逆境中奋起,培养乐观积极的生活态度。
其实我们的生活中每天都需要鼓励,当我们受到鼓励的时候,我们会更有信心,更相信自己的能力,我们的工作和学习效率也更佳。下面给出20个例句,并对其中出现的难词做适当的解释。
