Learning Strategy 学习技巧
Learning Strategies are the thoughts and actions that help make learning easier or more effective. The learning strategy for this lesson is Use Images. When we listen to directions, it helps to use an image in our mind or on a screen or paper to understand them better. Here is an example.
本课学习技巧是利用图像。在听别人指路时,利用脑子里,屏幕或是纸上的图像来理解会有帮助。例如:
Marcos wants to go to his friend Lucia's house. He asks her to give him directions. As he listens, he draws a map on a piece of paper. Lucia says, "Turn right at the supermarket." Marcos draws a box with an 'S' on his map. He draws an arrow (=>) to the right. When he is walking to Lucia's house, he thinks of the map. He remembers the supermarket and the arrow. He turns right and finds Lucia's house.
Marcos想去朋友Lucia家,Lucia给他指路时,Marcos边听边在纸上画图。Lucia说,“在超市右转。”Marcos在图上用一个方块代表超市,上面注上S,然后画了右转的箭头。他在去Lucia家的路上,就会想着这张图,记得图上的超市和箭头,在超市右转找到了Lucia住的地方。
