托福備考故事:在名人的鼓舞下記單詞1

字號(hào):

學(xué)習(xí)英語的過程中,記憶單詞是必不可缺的一個(gè)環(huán)節(jié)。但是單純地去記憶一些孤立的單詞往往是枯燥乏味的,而且時(shí)間一常很容易讓人們產(chǎn)生厭煩情緒,進(jìn)而產(chǎn)生放棄學(xué)習(xí)的念頭, 即使硬著頭皮堅(jiān)持,但是效果往往不佳,結(jié)果是功倍事半。
    從心理學(xué)的角度來說,人的動(dòng)機(jī)決定著人的行為方式,只有保持強(qiáng)烈的學(xué)習(xí)動(dòng)機(jī),我們才容易堅(jiān)持下來,這是內(nèi)在的動(dòng)因。 同時(shí)我們也需要外界不斷的激勵(lì),這些激勵(lì)可以來自朋友、親人、老師、同學(xué)、同事,也可以是來自一些好的書籍文章,其中名人名言往往更容易起到激勵(lì)的作用,尤其是在我們面對(duì)失敗和挫折的時(shí)候。很多取得成功的人都有自己的座右銘,而這些座右銘最重要的作用就是不斷地提醒和鼓勵(lì)。
    在學(xué)習(xí)英語的過程中我很喜歡讀一些名人名言,這些充滿著智慧與哲理的精辟語句給我了很大的啟發(fā),我也同時(shí)發(fā)現(xiàn)一些所謂難記的單詞在這樣的句子里面非常容易記住。我把這樣的一些單詞和名言匯編起來,反復(fù)地看,反復(fù)地朗誦,既鍛煉了口語,也記住了單詞,當(dāng)然最關(guān)鍵的是鼓勵(lì)自己在逆境中奮起,培養(yǎng)樂觀積極的生活態(tài)度。
    其實(shí)我們的生活中每天都需要鼓勵(lì),當(dāng)我們受到鼓勵(lì)的時(shí)候,我們會(huì)更有信心,更相信自己的能力,我們的工作和學(xué)習(xí)效率也更佳。下面給出20個(gè)例句,并對(duì)其中出現(xiàn)的難詞做適當(dāng)?shù)慕忉尅?BR>     1. People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing --- that's why we recommend it daily―― Zig Ziglar
