在閱讀本部落格的其他如何有效率記英文單字的文章,並有了短的單字(五個字母和五個字母以下)為基礎後,可運用已記住的短的單字來記長的單字(五個字母以上). 較有效的方法為用已知短的單字以邏輯推理的方法來學未知長的單字.
在這裡的邏輯推理的方法是用您已有知識, 經驗,和習慣來幫您記長的單字. 最好不要強記別人的方法來幫您記憶.例如如果您知道獅子跑比駱駝快,或您曾經看過電影,或親眼看過,或夢過一隻獅子追捕並吃了駱駝的情形且深記在您的腦海裡(不需再記憶). 以下的例子適合您用.
ameliorate(改善,進步)可用camel + lion + rate來記憶. 字母c, l 和n被加入以便字型和字義的記憶. 首先你必須記camel(駱駝)
+ lion(獅子) + rate(率,速度)
的意思. 因獅子跑的速度比駱駝快. 所以從駱駝的速度提升至獅子的速度有進步及改善的涵義.
故 ameliorate 可用以上的邏輯方法來記憶. **請注意被加入的字母 只能用很簡單而不需再記憶的規則. 例如字母只能加在一個字的最前面或(和)最後面.
Stalactite (鍾乳石) 可用 stalk (莖) + act (演) + item (物件) 來記憶. 鍾乳石不就像被吊在石洞中莖狀的物件嗎!
當你記住長的單字後, 可運用它來幫你記一些小單字組, 例如
ameliorate 可分解來學
amel: camel ; io: ion ; rate: crate grate irate prate rate
ame: amen dame fame game hame lame name same tame ; lio: lion ; rate: crate grate irate prate rate
am: cam dam ham jam ram yam ; eliorate: meliorate
stalactite 可分解來學 steal, stall, Stale , stalk, bite, cite, kite, mite, rite, site, item. 以下是從我的書中摘入的一些例子讓 1) 您用已有知識, 經驗,和習慣來幫您記長的單字,及 2) 用您已記住長的單字來幫你記一些小單字組的練習.
