别再让孩子一天背3个单词:谈有效词汇量的真正提升

Author: Jimmy Liang • 2026-09-14
之前大概讲了通过阅读的方式来提升有效的词汇问题,这里还是要强调一个观点,尽量不要去跟什么学英语教材学,因为我们国内的教学,最不缺的就是各类知识点语法细节的教学,这部分就交给学校来做就可以了.自己的阅读要跳出这个框框。找一些好的文学、好的文章读,同时注意尽量不要一开始选太久远的名著

About Jimmy Liang

Known online as "Dianshui Runmu" (Nurturing Wood with Droplets). Here I share candid musings on learning and life, alongside a few quiet, practical digital tools I crafted to solve everyday reading hurdles.

And occasionally, some trivial thoughts are jotted down just for the soul.
