Language students often think they have memory(记忆) problems. They worry because they can't remember words. In fact,the problem usually isn't with their memory. The problem is with how they study.In my opinion, using a right way is the most important.
To remember words better, you need to understand how memory works.There are two kinds of memory: short-term and long-term. When you see, hear orread something, it goes first into short-term memory. But short-term memorylasts for only a few seconds, that means we will forget things soon inshort-term memory. You will only remember something longer if it goes in to long-termmemory. Your long-term memory is like a very big library with many, many books.And like a library, it's organized. When you put away(放好，储存) a book or memory, you can't just leave it anywhere. You have tochoose a place where you can finditagain.
How can you do this with vocabulary? The answer is to work with theword and think about the word in new ways. You can do this by writing newsentences with the word in it. Even better, you can invent a little story aboutthe word, with people or places that you know. Another way is to make a picturein your mind with the word. For example, if the word is "height", youcan think of the tallest person you know and try to guess his or her height.All of these activities are good ways to think about words. They make themeaning of words stronger in your long-term memory. And they give a way to finda word when you need it.
This is my idea about how to improve ways to remember words, and Ihope it can help you.
