--------------语T~~
先来个简介:
Introduction:
Merriam-Webster’s Vocabulary Builder employs an original approach that takes into account how people learn and remember. Many vocabulary builders simply present their words in alphabetical order, many provide little or no discussion of the words and how to use them, and a few even fail to show the kinds of sentences in which the words usually appear. But memorizing a series of random and unrelated things, especially for more a few hours can be difficult and time-consuming.
Bara bara bara bara bara….
相信大家也看不惯这么长的介绍所以还是省略了。。。
也就是说韦氏的词根记忆,主要介绍各个词根的具体来源以及故事,并且给出例句。一共两百个词根,每个词根都有四个词(根据此词根),每两个词根有一个测验,所以大家要跟上哦~~~看完了两个词根才看得懂练习的哦~~~~~
好了,现开始吧,小T决定每个礼拜的周一和周五晚上更新咯,每周做两个词根那么大概也要一百个礼拜,也就是两年差不多,所以决定每周做两个quizzes 的内容也就是两个单元四个词根,加油~~~~~~
好了进入正题啦~~~
