One huge problem students are having in preparing for IELTS test is an inadequate amount of vocabulary. Every day at Longre, I would see and hear many students grasping for words to be able to express what they want to say in class. Many of them spend hours in memorizing vocabularies but are still having a hard time in remembering them. Some students improve significantly but others seems like had just wasted their efforts. Here are some tips to help students memorize:
在雅思备考过程中，很多同学都面临着词汇量不足的问题。每天在朗阁，我想看到和听到许多同学在课堂上能够领悟单词，在对话中表达出来。很多人花大量的时间去背单词，但是却仍然记不住。一些同学进步很大，但是另外一些同学却收效甚微。这里给出一些建议，帮助大家记忆单词：

1. Keep a vocabulary notebook.
1、带一个单词笔记本

When you learn a new word, add it to your notebook, and write down a sentence that will help you remember how to use the word.
当你学到一个新词，把这个词记在你的笔记本上，并且写下一个句子，帮助你记忆怎么去使用这个单词。

2. Use a learner's dictionary. There are several excellent dictionaries for learners of English. These provide simple definitions and sample sentences to help you learn new words.
2、使用字典。有几本非常好的供英语学习者使用的字典，能给出简单的注释和例句来帮助你学习新单词。

3. Choose words that are important to you. When you study topics and words that you are interested in, you remember them better.
3、选择对你重要的单词。当你学习你感兴趣的话题和新单词的时候，你记得会更快更好。

4. Group words by topic to remember them. It is easier to study new words when you organize them into groups like foods or action verbs．
4、将单词按话题分类去记忆。如果你将新单词按组来分类的话会更容易记忆，例如，食物或行为动词。

5. Make flashcards to study your new words. Put one English word on each card, and then put either the translation or the English definition on the back．After you study the words, review them quickly to see how many words you remember.
5、制作抽认卡来学习新单词。在每个卡片上写下一个单词，背面写上中文或者英文注释。学习了单词后，快速复习一遍来检查你记住了多少个？

6.  Use new words as many times as possible in your daily life. The best way to learn and remember new words is to use them when you speak or write．Try using at least one new English word every day.
6、在日常生活中尽量使用你刚学到的新单词。学习和记忆新单词的最好办法就是在说话和写作中使用它们，试着每天使用至少一次的新单词。

7. Learn synonyms for new words. A synonym is a word that means the same thing is another word. You can expand your vocabulary by learning synonyms for your new English words．For example, "small" is a synonym for "little"．
7、学习新单词的同义词。同义词就是和另一个单词意思一样的单词。你可以通过学习新单词的同义词来扩充自己的词汇量。例如，"small"是"little"的同义词。

8. Learn antonym for new words. An antonym is a word that means the opposite of another word. Learning an antonym for each new word can help you increase your vocabulary, too．For example, "bad" is an antonym for "good"．
8、学习新单词的反义词。反义词是指和另一个单词意思相反的单词。学习每个新单词的反义词也能帮助你增加词汇量。例如，"bad"是good"的反义词。

9. Study word roots. Many English words have Latin roots. When you learn one root, you can often learn many new words．For example, the Latin root "port" means "to carry"，and this root is found in many English words like the following: export, import, and transport.
9、学习词根。很多英语单词都有拉丁词根。当你学习一个词根的时候，你能学到很多的新单词。例如，词根"port"的意思是“携带”，在很多单词中可以找到这个词根，例如：export, import, and transport.

10. Learn prefixes．Prefixes are small groups of letters that you put in front of words to give them different meanings．For example, you can put in-, un-, or non- in front of many adjectives to give them a negative or an opposite meaning. The word "flexible" describes a person or thing that can change or be changed easily. So "inflexible" means just the opposite.
10、学习单词的前缀。前缀可以放在少量的单词前面，赋予不同的意思。例如，你可以将in-, un-, 或者 non-放在很多形容词的前面，使得这些词意思相反。单词"flexible"表示一个人或物品很容易改变，因此，"inflexible"表示相反的意思。

11. Learn how to pronounce each new word. An important part of using new English words effectively is learning how to pronounce them. As you know, many English words do not sound the way you think they will!
11、学习每个新单词的发音。有效地学习新单词的重要部分就是学习它们的发音。如你们所知道的，很多英语单词并不像它们看起来那样的发音。
