托�？荚囕o導：中學(xué)生怎樣學(xué)習托福詞匯？

　　隨著(zhù)中學(xué)生留學(xué)熱潮的來(lái)臨，越來(lái)越多的中學(xué)生加入到了"考托"，"考雅"的行列，而孩子們所面臨的第一關(guān)就是詞匯關(guān)，看似龐大而漫無(wú)邊際的托福詞匯 和雅思詞匯另許多中學(xué)生對于托福和雅思考試望而卻步。反之有的學(xué)生則一下子淹沒(méi)在背誦單詞的汪洋大海之中，在考試中屢試屢敗。這樣不僅挫傷了學(xué)生們學(xué)習英 語(yǔ)勇氣也浪費了家長(cháng)的金錢(qián)和孩子們的時(shí)間。中國有句古話(huà)叫作知己知彼，百戰不殆，考試亦是如此。要想在考試中取得好成績(jì)，就要清楚自己已經(jīng)掌握了什么知識，還需要補充什么知識。鑒于這樣 的情況，我們在分析現行的高中英語(yǔ)新課標所要求的詞匯，即單詞約3500個(gè)，短語(yǔ)或詞組約360個(gè)的基礎上，發(fā)現并建立這些詞匯與托�？荚囁�要求的詞匯的 聯(lián)系。從既是高中要求的詞匯也是托�？荚囈�求的詞匯入手，引導學(xué)生從自己已知的東西開(kāi)始逐步掌握新知識，為學(xué)生學(xué)習單詞鋪設階梯，這樣既分散了單詞學(xué)習的 難度，又鞏固了各個(gè)階段的單詞。這樣學(xué)生不僅能輕松面對高考英語(yǔ)，同時(shí)面對國外英語(yǔ)考試的問(wèn)題也迎刃而解，可謂是一舉兩得。再加上豐富、地道的例句和真題 例示必能助同學(xué)們一臂之力。
