詞匯量是語言學習的命脈和根本，只有掌握了一定的詞匯量才能夠提高英語水平并增強溝通能力。很多人翻來覆去背了好幾遍GRE單詞，但背得多，忘得也多。到底怎樣能夠快速、穩步提高英語詞匯量？EF英孚教育職業發展部的Annie導師精心總結了3種簡單可行的方法，幫助你循序漸進提升詞匯量。

　　1）Form a habit of reading news! The subjects of news are diverse, including real-life social issues and current political affairs happening around the world. Insisting on reading news everyday will help you accumulate new vocabulary whilst expanding your knowledge.

　　養成閱讀新聞的習慣。新聞的題材是很多樣化的，既有接近生活的社會事件，也有國際發生的時事政治，每天堅持閱讀能擴大你的知識面并不斷積累新的詞匯。

　　Eg. David is an accountant in a foreign bank, in order to understand international economic dynamics, he uses the time he commutes every day to read English versions of international economic news. After a period of time, he did not only enlarge his vocabulary rapidly, but he also accumulated a great deal of information about the world economy.

　　David是某外資銀行會計，他每天用上下班的時間閱讀英文版國際經濟新聞了解國際經濟動態。一段時間后，他不僅單詞量突飛猛進，還積累了大量的國際經濟的資訊。

　　2）Read and listen to original audio books. It will help you better understand new words in context. You can listen to the difficult paragraphs again and again, to confirm the words and enlarge your vocabulary.

　　閱讀收聽原版有聲書，在故事情節和語境中理解單詞的意思。遇到比較難的段落反復閱讀多聽幾遍來不斷鞏固詞匯量。

　　Eg. In college, Amy chose to listen to stories and novels in order to increase her English vocabulary. Every time she came across words she didn’t know, she would write them down. Then she would listen to the sentences and whole passages again. The storyline and context helped to deepen her understanding of new words and learn how to use them.

　　在大學期間，Amy選擇閱讀收聽有聲故事書或小說來提高自己的英文詞匯量。每次遇到聽不懂的單詞都會記錄下來，然后重復收聽，讓故事情節和語境幫助她加深對單詞的理解并學會如何運用。

　　3）Prepare a small notebook and make your own vocabulary book. Write down the words you don’t understand, or easily confuse you when you are reading, listening and watching movies. Look through these words when you have time to consolidate your understanding.

　　制作屬于自己的生詞本。準備一個方便攜帶的小本子，記上自己在閱讀、聽力和看電影時不會或者容易搞混的單詞，隨時翻閱以便于反復記憶。

　　Eg. Lily always writes down the new words she comes across. She formed her own habit as time passed by. She carries her vocabulary notebook around, and looks through it in her free time. Sometimes she likes to cover the explanation and sample sentence to check if she can remember and grasp the words. Through persevering every day, Lily’s vocabulary has increased a lot.

　　Lily會把自己遇到的生詞隨手記下來，久而久之就形成了自己的習慣。她總是會隨身攜帶本，利用自己零散的小部分時間翻閱，有時候會遮住單詞的中文解釋和例句來檢查自己是否已經掌握了。每天堅持下來，Lily的單詞量突飛猛進。
