The four travellers see a beautiful green light in the sky in front of them.

“That’s the Emerald (翡翠) City,” Dorothy says. “Come on! It isn’t far now.” Soon they come to a big green wall.

There’s a gate in it. It’s shining in the afternoon sun, Dorothy looks at it carefully. It’s made of emeralds! She knocks on the door. The gate opens and they all go inside. A little man in green clothes is standing there with a big box.

“What do you want in the Emerald City?” he says.

“We want to see the Great Oz,” Dorothy answers.

“It’s important,” the Scarecrow says.

“I am the Keeper of the Gate,” the little man in green says. I can take you to his Palace. But before you go there, you must put on these glasses.

He takes five pairs of glasses out of the box. The glass in the glasses is emerald green.

“Why?” Dorothy asks.

“Everyone in the Emerald City wears them”, the Keeper of the Gate says.

They put on the glasses. Toto has a pair, too. Then the Keeper takes out a big gold key and opens another gate.

Dorothy is surprised. Everything is green—the houses and the streets. The sky is also green. Children are buying green juice with green money. Men in green clothes are driving green cars along the green streets. Everybody is smiling.

The Keeper of the Gate takes them to a big building in the middle of the city. Oz cannot see them today, so they must stay in the Palace for a few days.

A young girl takes them to their room: these rooms are beautiful and comfortable. They feel very tired now......

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.

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, or read something, it goes first into short-term memory. But short-term memory lasts for only 8 few seconds. You will only remember something longer if it goes into long-term memory. Your long-term memory is like a very big library with many, many books. And like a library, its organized(有条理的). When you put away a book or memory, you can’t just leave it anywhere. You have to choose a place where you can find it again.

How can you do this with vocabulary? The answer is to work with the word and think about the word in new ways. You can do this by writing new sentences that include it. Even better, you can invent a little story about the word, with people or places that you know. Another way is to make a picture in your mind with the word. For example, if the word is height, you can 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 the meaning of words stronger in your long-term memory. And they give a way to find a word when you need it.
