【推荐1】Did you know that vocabulary(词汇) is more important than grammar? If you have good vocabulary, you can communicate successfully, even if the grammar is not completely perfect.

However, one common problem is learning new words and then forgetting them. So when you want to use a new word in a conversation, you can’t remember it at that moment. Does this often happen to you? The reason for this difficulty is that most students try to learn vocabulary by studying lists and dictionaries and remembering the words. But it may not work if you don’t have a very good memory.

The best way to learn vocabulary and remember the words successfully is to learn new words and use them at once. You can do this with a very simple exercise. Every time you learn a new word, for example, from an English lesson or an article, write it down in your vocabulary notebook. Writing is more active than just reading a definition(释义). You should write the word, the definition in English or translation, one example sentence from the article or dictionary and one example sentence that you create.

Imagine you just learn the word “generous”, write in your vocabulary notebook: generous (adjective), definition—giving or willing to give freely. Example one, from the article: Thanks for paying for my dinner, you’re very generous. Example two, my example: My brother is generous because he volunteers at the animal shelter on weekends. It’s best if your example sentences are true to your life, because this creates a personal connection with the new word. The next day, read your vocabulary notebook again and try to add one more example sentence using the new word. It’s helpful for you to remember it: These two simple steps—writing the word and using it at once—help you remember and use new words.

Do you have a vocabulary notebook? If not, start now.

【推荐3】Spring is coming. But not everyone is excited about it. This season brings pollen (花粉) and dust. They might give some people an allergy (过敏).

What exactly happens to them? It makes some people have running noses. Your eyes itch. Your skin stops letting you go easily.

An allergy has to do with your immune system (免疫系统). Usually, the immune system fights against germs to keep you healthy. But when you have allergies, it acts differently and fights against things like grass, pollen or some foods. This gives you a hard feeling.

There are things you can do to make it better. First, stay inside. When the season is here, stay indoors as much as possible. Second, wear a mask. A mask can help to stop you from breathing in something that you are allergic to. Last, keep clean. If you are allergic to dust, clean your home often. Wash your hands every time after playing outside. This helps you wash away the things on your hands that may give you an allergy.
