1. Find a Suitable Environment
1.找一個(gè)合適的環(huán)境
An environment creates atmosphere, and an atmosphere changes the world from one end to the other —including our learning experience. That’s not to say that there’s only one ideal environment that is considered the best for learning. We all respond to each environment differently, for the better or the worse.
環(huán)境創(chuàng)造氛圍,氛圍會(huì)有很大的影響——包括我們的學(xué)習(xí)經(jīng)驗(yàn)。這并不是說(shuō),只有一種理想的學(xué)習(xí)環(huán)境是最好的。每種環(huán)境對(duì)我們的影響都是不同的,有些更好有些更壞。
2. Write it Down
2.寫下學(xué)習(xí)內(nèi)容
You have been reading through the material, over and over again, for over 45 minutes, when finally you say “Oh! I think I got it!”.
你可能曾經(jīng)一遍又一遍地閱讀材料,超過(guò)45分鐘,你終于說(shuō)“我想我明白了!”
You ponder on whether you should write it down for yourself, and then you finally conclude: “It’s okay, there’s no way I can forget it now…!”. And with that, you flip the page and continue onto the next subject.
您猶豫是否將這些內(nèi)容寫下來(lái),然后你最后得出結(jié)論:“沒事的,我現(xiàn)在不會(huì)忘記的…!“。于是你翻過(guò)這一頁(yè)繼續(xù)到下一個(gè)話題。
The next morning you wake up and get ready to head out to class. The exam is handed to you and your eyes land on a single question —the one you were preparing for yesterday. You scratch your head and realize…nothing. Everything is gone. So you attempt an answer and hope for the best.
第二天早上你醒來(lái),準(zhǔn)備去上課。試卷交給你然后你的眼睛落在一個(gè)問題上——你昨天準(zhǔn)備的問題上。你抓你的頭發(fā)意識(shí)到……什么都沒有。一切都消失了。你嘗試自己寫一個(gè)答案,懷抱最好的希望。
It happens to us all, and there’s one conclusion that can be made. If you want to learn faster, to memorize a concept without going through the material over and over again, you should write down notes of what you just learned, preferably by hand. When you do that, this gives your brain a chance to rehearse what you just learned and help it really sink in.
這種情況可能發(fā)生在我們所有人的身上,可以有一個(gè)結(jié)論。如果你想學(xué)得更快,不用一遍一遍閱讀材料來(lái)記住一個(gè)概念,你最好是寫下剛學(xué)習(xí)的內(nèi)容手。當(dāng)你做到這一點(diǎn),這讓你的大腦有一個(gè)機(jī)會(huì)來(lái)輸出你學(xué)習(xí)的內(nèi)容,并幫助你真正理解。
3. Association of Ideas
3.聯(lián)想
In order to learn, particularly something long and complicated, you are always advised to use every tool at your disposal. One of these tools is Mental Associations. All you have to do is to link new gathered information to information that you already have.
為了學(xué)習(xí)內(nèi)容,特別是需要長(zhǎng)時(shí)間學(xué)習(xí)的復(fù)雜的內(nèi)容,你總被建議使用一些工具。這些工具之一,是心理聯(lián)想。你所要做的是將新的信息和你已經(jīng)知道的信息聯(lián)系起來(lái)。
For example, if you consider red an “urgent”or “important”color, you can mark new information that you consider critical with it in your mind. Another example would be to use rhymes for memorizing or even creating a chronological story in your mind. The more you practice, the better you will be at it, making it easier for you to learn new information.
例如,如果你認(rèn)為紅色表示“緊急”或“重要”,你可以將你認(rèn)為重要的信息用紅色標(biāo)記起來(lái)。另一個(gè)例子是使用押韻來(lái)記憶,甚至在頭腦中創(chuàng)造一個(gè)故事。你練習(xí)的越多你就會(huì)越來(lái)越擅長(zhǎng),也更便于你學(xué)習(xí)新信息。
4.Read…A Lot
4.大量閱讀
It is not strange that a person who reads on a regular basis will also be quicker to read through and understand difficult material than a person who doesn’t share that same habit. The reason for it is that the more you read, the easier it is for you to absorb written information.
和較少閱讀的人相比,一個(gè)定期閱讀的人會(huì)更快地閱讀和理解較為困難的材料。原因是你讀得越多,你就越容易吸收文字信息。
5.Make Practical Use of What You Learn
5.練習(xí)使用你學(xué)習(xí)的內(nèi)容
Like everything in life, you do not truly know something until you put it to practical work. You can’t be a doctor just by going through the books, no matter how many times you do it. Want to master the German language? Go live in Germany for a year and communicate with locals using only your rusty German.
就像你生活中的其他事物一樣,直到你將學(xué)習(xí)到的東西運(yùn)用到實(shí)際工作中,你才能真正理解。只是通過(guò)書本學(xué)習(xí)并不能讓你成為一名醫(yī)生,不管你書讀了多少次。你想掌握德語(yǔ)嗎?那就用生澀的德語(yǔ)去德國(guó)居住并與當(dāng)?shù)厝藴贤ò伞?/p>
In order to truly learn something, you will always need to go out there and utilize that new absorbed information.
因此為了真正學(xué)到一些東西,你需要吸收和運(yùn)用新的信息。
6.Learn in a Way That Works For You
6.選擇合適自己的學(xué)習(xí)方式
There are several ways of learning, or to be more exact, several learning modalities. They go by visual, auditory, reading/writing, and tactile learning. Each of us is more comfortable with some over the others.
學(xué)習(xí)方法或?qū)W習(xí)模式有很多種。通過(guò)視覺、聽覺、讀/寫和觸覺學(xué)習(xí)。我們每個(gè)人都有相對(duì)合適的方法。
Visual learners will prefer visual presentations of the material, either in the form of graphs, pictures, or watching demonstrations.
視覺學(xué)習(xí)者會(huì)更喜歡可視化的演示材料,比如圖表的形式、圖片、或者觀看展示。
Auditory learners will prefer lectures, audiobooks, podcasts, and even interviews.
聽覺學(xué)習(xí)者會(huì)喜歡講座、有聲讀物、播客甚至訪談形式。
Reading/Writing learners will prefer to read the information and write down notes for themselves.
讀/寫學(xué)習(xí)者傾向于自己讀信息并且寫筆記。
Tactile learners will learn best from practicing the material with their own hands.
觸覺學(xué)習(xí)者最好的學(xué)習(xí)方式是親自練習(xí)學(xué)習(xí)材料。
Adjust yourself to one of these learning modalities and you will find a vast improvement in your progress.
調(diào)整自己的學(xué)習(xí)方法,你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)你會(huì)取得很大的進(jìn)步。
