ПИСЬМО

1. Существуют различные приёмы и техники, которые помогают нам лучше запоминать информацию. Когда вы изучаете английский язык, одним из важнейших аспектов и залогов успеха является эффективное запоминание новых слов. Прочитайте советы, приведённые ниже. Выберите несколько наиболее подходящих вам и выучите их.

Here are some tips to help you remember vocabulary:

1. Keep an organised vocabulary notebook.

2. Look at the words again after 24 hours, after one week and after one month.

3. Read, read, read. The more times you ‘see’ a word the more easily you will remember it.

4. Use the new words. You need to use a new word about ten times before you remember it!

5. Do word puzzles and games like crosswords, anagrams and word searches.

6. Make word cards and take them with you. Read them on the bus or when you are waiting for your friends.

7. Learn words with a friend. It can be more fun and easier to learn with someone else.

8. Learn how to use a dictionary. What information is next to a word in the dictionary? Do you know the different types of dictionary?

9. Learn a few words but not too many. About eight new words a day is a good number.
