想想看我們自小學寫國字時，多半靠的只是不斷以眼睛與一筆一劃的重複抄寫來加強記憶，這是因為中文是形象的文字，寫法和注音常常是兩套幾乎不相關的系統，但英文不同，英文是拼音的文字，單字的聲音與拼寫是緊密相關的，換句話說，在記英文單字時，每個字的發音本身就提供了拼寫的重要線索，所以在記英文單字時，絕對不能只靠眼睛，而是要連耳朵與嘴巴都一起用上。比如說要記resolution這個字，與其R-E-S-O-l-U-T-I-O-N的唸個不停，把字母當中文筆畫記，不如先熟悉它的正確發音，然後邊唸這個字的每個音節，邊在紙上寫，唸re寫r-e，唸so寫s-o，唸lu寫l-u，唸tion寫t-i-o-n，寫完再唸一次，只要會講這個字，要拼出來就不是難事。當然因為英文的拼寫還是有一些拼法與讀音不同的地方，所以細節還是要注意，但有了聲音的輔助，記起來還是容易得多。所以，記單字時千萬不要再默寫十遍了，大聲念出來，在吐出每個音的同時寫出對應的字母，才能事半功倍。

國人多年來學英文,總覺得離不開字典,看到生字就得查,不查就不放心,結果查的又是英漢字典,拿中文學英文,就像一輩子用拐仗走路,沒有真正學會走路,更別說會跑了,這也像是,學游泳學了很久的人,如果從沒學會換氣,游一下就得停下來,他也沒嘗到真正會游泳,如魚得水的樂趣.

甚麼時候最能感受到要用英英字典呢?

Learn To Focus
Focusing is an art which comes easily to some people and is a complete mystery to others. Focusing is simply the ability to direct all your thoughts and energy on something for a specific amount of time. Have you noticed that when you really want something you seem to focus much of your thoughts and your energy towards this goal? You may also find that it is easier to focus on things you love doing. Or perhaps you are able to focus on things which need to be done, even if you don't like doing them, such as washing the dishes that have piled up in the sink, for example. It is often said that successful people are those who continually focus on their goals and visions.
Today, notice what you choose to focus your attention on.
