读写任务
阅读下面的短文, 然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文.
No wonder English poses (构成) such a challenge to nonnative speakers.This most global language
has more words than any other, over 1 million according to the Global Language Monitor.Out of this
number, the average American college student has mastered between 8,000-15,000.
Realizing that words are the building blocks of language, many Chinese students try hard to catch up.
They make out long lists of words-often in alphabetical order-and simply memorize their definitions (释
义) and Chinese meanings.
The bad news is that definition memorization does them little good when it comes to college entrance
tests like the SATs.For these tests, a student needs to understand, not simply parrot words studied.
The good news is that there are better ways to build an academic English vocabulary.
Vocabulary learning system
The first thing to do is to develop an organized, but easy means of collecting and learning new words.
We recommend a card system that includes the following information:
Word-Simple Definition in English-Phrase or Sentence-Related Words-Synonyms (同义词) and
Antonyms (反义词)-with a Chinese translation on the reverse (背面) of the card.
The advantage of this system is that with a single card, a student can learn not just one word but a
group of related words.
Keep your cards on a detachable (可分离的) metal ring, so you can carry them around and add to
your collection daily.
