Features: Learning English requires memorizing vocabulary. But why can some people master tens of thousands of words, while others feel dizzy and forgetful when trying to memorize, losing interest and confidence in learning English quickly? Why do many English learners spend hours with books but find themselves trapped in a cycle of forgetting and re-memorizing? The answer lies in the fact that memory follows certain patterns. Only by adhering to these patterns and overcoming forgetting can one memorize more effectively. This book is ideal for readers who wish to master a large number of English words in a short period. The law of memory is that forgetting occurs in decreasing amounts and at slower rates over time. The strategy to combat forgetting is:
· Cyclic Memory – Correcting the forgetting curve;
· Scientific Grouping – Utilizing the "Magic Number Seven" principle;
· Condensed Definitions – Reducing the burden of memorization;
· Word Frequency Analysis – Prioritizing important words and distinguishing between main and secondary ones;
· Contextual Memory – Making word memorization easier;
· Lightning Memory – Using α-wave background music to unlock memory potential.
This book is based on the "Anti-Forgetting Memory Method" and uses the newly released postgraduate entrance exam syllabus from the Ministry of Education as the basis for word selection. It is the most comprehensive and authoritative content available. Words marked with a ▲ above them are additional words required by the postgraduate exam syllabus compared to the university English levels 1–6. Words highlighted in color are high-frequency vocabulary. Phrases from the syllabus are listed separately at the back of the book, with keywords in bold for easy reference. Additionally, the book features carefully designed learning plans, motivational quotes, word review cards, and memo sections, all aimed at encouraging learners to stay active and engaged, making vocabulary memorization less tedious.
With detailed content and scientific methods, this book will help you maximize your memory potential.
