tactc,AECT全称

问题一、contact contract contrast怎么区分记忆

联系、契约、对比的区别是：含义不同，用法不同，侧重点不同。1.意义不同1。接触：(特别频繁)接触，接触。2.合同：合同，合同。3.对比：明显不同，对比，对比。第二，用法不同。1.接触：接触的基本含义是“接触”和“接触”。用于事物时，表示彼此联系密切。用于人时，指通过信件、电话、会议等直接联系。但身体接触不是必须的。2.契约：契约就是双方被共同的利益所吸引。用作及物动词时，后面可以跟名词或不定式动词，用作不及物动词时，后面可以跟“for”、“for”。3.对比：对比的基本含义是将两个或两个以上的事物放在一起，以示区别。当contrast用作不及物动词时，后面加介词“with”，表示“与……相反”，主语通常为及物。第三，侧重点不同。1.接触：接触的根源：接触，来源于接触。一起保持联系，就是保持联系。2.契约：契约的根：契约，来源于拖动或绘制。都是拉的意思，所以是一起拉的意思。签完合同，人就拉在一起了。3.对比：对比其实来源于前缀计数器，表示相反的意思，所以对比就是对比。

你可能关注的问题四、巧记单词chemist的方法

我是这样去记忆的1．逻辑记忆：通过词的本身的内部逻辑关系，词与词之间的外部逻辑关系记忆单词。1)把几个字母看作—个来记如：(ight)light，right，6sht，night，might，sight，tight。2)外旧内新，如：bridge(桥)看成b+ridgeridge(山脊)；sharp看成s+harpharp(竖琴)。3)外新内旧，如：cleave(劈开)看成c+leave；tact(机智)看成t+act。2．联想记忆：1)音与形的联想，即根据读音规则记忆单词。2)形与义的联想，如：eye把两个e看成两个眼。banana把a看成一个个的香蕉。bird把b和d看成两个翅膀。3)象声词，联想实际的声音，如：gong锣、coo咕咕声。3．分类记忆：把单词进行分门类如：动物，植物等，进行分类记忆。你可以找一本分类字典作为参考。4．卡片记忆：自制作单词卡片随时随身进行记单词，卡片写上单词的词形、词性、词义、音标、搭配、例句等。5．感官记忆：记单词时，不要只用一种感官，尽可能地用多个感官，耳听、嘴读、手写、眼看、心记等。6．软件记忆：有电脑的可利用电脑软件进行记单词，如：《开心背单词》、《开天辟地背单词》、《我爱背单词》等。7．构词记忆：利用构词法，通过分析词根、前缀、派生和合成等记忆单词。8．图表记忆：利用形象的图表进行记忆，它的优点是意、形、物直观地结合到一起。你可以找一本英语图解字典作为参考。9．游戏记忆：通过自己和集体做游戏的气氛中进行记忆单词。10．歌曲记忆：通过唱英语歌曲记忆单词，“听霸”“听力超人”等软件中有许多英文歌曲，并配有歌词和译文。

推荐问题五、英语单词怎么记？

下面给同学们介绍三种高效记单词的方法，非常适合高中生，熟练运用能够提高英语！一、在做阅读时背单词在应对考试方面，我们提高词汇量的一个终极目的，也就是在做阅读时可以畅通无阻。 老师常说，班上同学拉开英语成绩的关键就是阅读，你去看成绩好的同学，人家阅读正确率比你高多少。 这也就是为什么你和英语学霸听力差不多，写作也不相上下，但是为什么英语成绩与人家差一大截的原因。 在高考英语试卷中，阅读无论篇幅，分值，占比都是最高的。这样就意味着，做好这部分，那么英语成绩也不会差。 我们如果能在平时做完几篇阅读之后，不要去管词汇是否超纲，只要是自己不认识的，就把它认真做好记号，查出意思，然后每天都持续的翻看。 把阅读中遇到的单词解决，刚开始可能成效不太显著，但是久而久之，就会发现，做阅读时再遇到的单词，都是自己见过背过的。二、零碎时间背单词很多人都是看着那么多自己不认识，却需要掌握的单词，心中着实焦急，但是又迟迟不付诸行动来背。记一个两个单词可能比较轻松，这就导致了许多同学放松了心态，但是渐渐就会发现不认识的单词越来越多，想要好好背，却无从下手。有时一整个自习都用来背单词，但成效甚微，还容易混淆。单词不是背语文课文，不是一定要集中精力一直背诵，不能停歇。我们在学校的一整天有那么多碎片化的时间，做不了数学大题，也背不了文言文，有发呆睡觉的，为什么不用来背单词呢。也包括我们在上下学的路上，也能抓住时间多背几个。不要小看零碎的时间，看似只有几分钟，但是一整天的碎片时间累加起来，如果都利用好，那么已经就是一种超越。零碎的时间里背上几个单词，头脑也清楚，也不容易混淆。日积月累，就会发现没花多少整块时间在单词上，生词却越来越少。三、互相考问式背单词高中生一天的学习任务冗杂，尤其临近高考，学生总是埋头于厚厚的书本中，不得抽身。有时即使有课间休息的时间，很多人也都是在低头看书，在这样较为压抑的环境中，很多同学，学也学不进去，休息也紧紧张张。激昂的学习热情，在一整天沉闷的学习中，或多或少都会有所消耗，很多同学即使状态不好，情绪不高，也依然继续支撑着。这样看似学习状态坚毅，但是其实效率并不高。这个时候，如果在课间，可以和同学互相提问，背诵单词，那么效率就不一样了。同学互动起来学习本就会提高学生思维活跃度，更何况在状态低迷，学习情绪不高的时候，这种方法显得尤为有效。相互考问式背单词，学生思维被调动，背诵单词时自动情景联想，不仅效率高，还能改善学习状态。也不失为一种沉闷课间有趣有效的学习方法。高中学习课业繁重，对学生每门科目的学习要求都不尽相同，但都是需要用心，下足功夫，才能有可观的成绩。但有些科目不仅要肯下功夫，找到一些有效的学习技巧，更是成绩提高的法门。
