Word Pinyin Code
abroad adv. to go abroad; in a foreign country
aboard adv. on a ship; on board
There are a lot of people who can easily confuse the two words above. It's not difficult to understand because they are just too similar. Now I am offering a mnemonic to memorize them and also to distinguish them easily.
abroad Go abroad; be abroad
a a b pinyin not road road
Going abroad is a road of no return.
I'm sure this method will help you remember abroad forever.
Here we introduce a new element, the pinyin code. The letter b never means "no" in English, but the Chinese pinyin for "no" is "bu", so by using this relationship, we define the letter b as "This new definition becomes the pinyin code. The introduction of the pinyin code makes the memorization of words much more efficient and ensures that the memorized words will not be forgotten for a long time. The spelling of Hanyu Pinyin is basically the same as that of the English alphabet (there is no letter v in Pinyin), which gives us a lot of flexibility in dealing with English word information.
This book provides many English words memorized by Pinyin mnemonics, and they are all unforgettable. Please use the Pinyin code to memorize the following 16 words. We have done experiments and the fastest students can memorize all of them in 4 minutes and achieve 100% correct rate. I'm sure you'll get good results too. Take out your stopwatch and get ready.

Three Ways to Make Stories of English Words
There are three main ways to make stories of English words:
I. Familiarity. Element association method. Try to find all the elements in the word that are already familiar and easy to visualize, these elements are mainly words with fewer letters.
Two, the letter-coding method. For those unfamiliar elements (mainly those letters that do not make up the word), then you can kind of use a predetermined or temporary code to transform.
The third method refers to various other flexible methods. As long as you can link all the elements of memorization together quickly and tightly, whatever method you use will work.
One, the familiar element association method:
If it is a word with more letters, which often contains some words or roots that we have long been familiar with, by imaginatively associating these familiar elements, you can easily memorize the new word.
For example:
1, hestitate -- hesitate
The word "hestitate" contains three very familiar words: he, sit, ate. , ate (past tense of eat).
When we make up the story, we have to link the letter combinations "he, sit, ate" with the Chinese word "hesitate" at once.
We can make up a short story like this: heitate -- he sat and ate the squid (hesitated).
Then imagine the picture scene of the story in your brain a little bit and the word is immediately memorized.
Here, we replace the abstract noun "hesitation" with the concrete thing "squid", which is more in line with the principle of memorization.
Of course, if you're worried about confusion, you could make it up like this: heitate - he hesitated to sit down and eat.
The memorization effect of this kind of coding will be slightly less effective.
Either way, the effect is obvious, when we see the word "hesitate", we will immediately hook up "he sat down to eat (hestitate)" through the linkage;
or when we see "hestitate", we will immediately hook up "he sat down to eat (hestitate)";
or when we see "hestitate", we will immediately hook up "he sat down to eat (hestitate)" through the linkage. When we see the word "hesitate", we immediately check off "hesitation" by association.
2, investigate -- research
The word "investigate" contains three familiar words: in, vest, chest, and so on. , vest (chest), and gate (door).
In addition to these three words, there is also the letter "i", which we can convert to "open" by memorizing the code.
Based on these elements, we can make up a story that says:
investigate -- open the door in your chest and do research.
In this way, we can imagine: Oh, so research means opening doors in the chest cavity.
This image, when thought of, immediately connects all the memorized information.
3, hatred -- hatred, abhorrence
The word "hatred" consists of two familiar words: hat and red
The story could go like this.
hatred -- Little Red Riding Hood hates the Big Bad Wolf.
4, forget -- to forget, to forget
forget -- in order to get the new, one must forget the old. (for - in order to, get - to get)
5, forever - forever, eternally
forever - in order to The vow once made that we will love each other forever. (for-for, ever-ever)
6, consent -- to agree
Consent -- to get the **** same feeling means consent. (con-*** the same, sent-feeling)
7, classmate -- classmate
classmate - - A classmate is a fellow student. (class-class, mate-partner)
8, airline -- route
airline -- the line in the sky It is the air line. (air-air, line-line)
9, catcall -- to drink the booze
catcall -- a cat shouting at you is to cheer at you. (cat-cat, call-shout)
10, clockwork -- on a schedule
clockwork -- the The clock always works on a schedule. (clock-clock, work-work)
Two, Alphabetic Coding:
Alphabetic coding focuses on those letters that don't make up the words we're familiar with, which varies from person to person.
For example, the word "kidnap" is a familiar word to some people, where "kid" and "nap" are both familiar words; however, for some people, the word "kidnap" is a familiar word. familiar words; for others, however, "nap" is unrecognizable and can only be recoded as three separate letters.
The three main methods of encoding letters include the figurative, phonetic, and harmonic methods.
The image method refers to the transformation of some letters into a code that is more similar to its appearance, such as:
F (f) - crutches; H (h) - chairs; L (l) - hoe; J (j) - hoe; L (l) - hoe; L (l) - hoe; L (l) - hoe; L (l) - hoe. - hoe; J (j) - hook;
M (m) - door; O (o) - the number 0; Z (z) -- the number 2; S (s) -- the number 5;
IV (iv) -- the number 4; IX (ix) -9; X (x) - number 10;
Pinyin method refers to the transformation of some letter combinations into corresponding codes by using pinyin, such as:
The letter ta, can be coded by pinyin method as "she "
The letter tu can be coded as "tu" by pinyin method;
The letter mi can be coded as "m ";
the letter men, which can be coded as "door";
the letter lan, which can be coded as "blue".
Things like that.
Alternatively, the letters of the alphabet can be coded as pinyin initials, such as:
The letter st can be coded as "bucket", "stone ladder" and so on;
The letter ty can be coded as "sun", "sport", etc.
The letter cg, which can be coded as "success", "results ", etc.
The letter pt, can be coded as "grape", "flutter", etc.
This kind of coding is very flexible, you can choose the most appropriate code according to the specific situation.
The harmonic method refers to the coding of words according to their pronunciation, which is relatively simple, but if you don't have a good grasp of the rules of word pronunciation, even if you know how to pronounce them, you may not be able to write the corresponding letters according to the rules of pronunciation.
For example, thank you can be encoded as "three grams of oil" through the harmonic method, and can be memorized as "thank you for giving me three grams of oil".
The biggest disadvantage of the harmonic method is that some people don't have a good grasp of the correct pronunciation of words, so they use the harmonic method instead of the standard pronunciation, which is a very bad habit for spoken English, especially for those students who are learning to pronounce the words, and it may prevent them from mastering the standard pronunciation of words.
So, when using the harmonic method, it is important to note that we are only advocating this method to help you memorize the way words are written, not the way they are pronounced. Harmonization is harmonization, and correct pronunciation must still be mastered.
Application examples:
1, abolish -- abolish, cancel
abolish -- ah, violence shall be abolished. (Harmonization of word pronunciation is used)
2, ambulance -- ambulance
ambulance -- There is a man in an ambulance shouting, I can't die! I can't die! (Words pronounced in the harmonic method)

The above we listed these ways of remembering English words, the principle is only one, is to make up as much as possible imaginative, impressive story, in order to "make the most effective and efficient". In order to "make the most effective connections".
In fact, when we recommend this "story-making" method, we do not mean to completely reject the traditional mnemonic methods, such as word formation mnemonics, reading mnemonics, synergistic mnemonics, categorization mnemonics, circular mnemonics, and so on, which are complementary to the "story-making" mnemonic method. " mnemonic methods are also essential as a supplement to the mnemonic methods.
What we emphasize is that we should try to use the "story-making" mnemonic as much as possible to memorize words, and at the same time, supplement it with a variety of other methods, which can maximize the efficiency of our memory.
Generally speaking, this kind of "story-making" method is suitable for learners who have already accumulated some words and have quite a basic knowledge of the subject, mainly those who are in the upper grades of junior high school or above.
For those who are beginners in English, it is very important to master the correct pronunciation of words.
And when learning how to pronounce words, the main thing is to master the rules of pronunciation, and not to use the harmonic method to memorize the pronunciation of words. Because if you use the pinyin method to pronounce words when you just start to learn, then it will be hard to speak this spoken language in a standard way, and it will not be good for you to learn more words further in the future.
Just like many of us who want to learn Cantonese, we use pinyin to spell in order to get a quick fix, and the Cantonese we learn this way will be very skewed.
The main reason why the "storytelling" methods of memorizing English words, such as the harmonic and figurative methods, have been criticized by many orthodox English teachers is that they fear that they will destroy the foundation of the student's spoken language.
In fact, as long as we separate the learning of pronunciation, the learning of speaking and the memorization of words, and follow the traditional method of learning pronunciation and mastering the rules of pronunciation, and follow the method of "making up stories" to memorize words, then these methods of memorizing words will never affect the purity of the spoken language.
If every English teacher could learn more about these "storytelling" methods of memorizing words and use them in their daily teaching, it would be a blessing for English learners everywhere!
Let's look forward to that day with hope!
