How to Memorize New Words
Have you ever wondered if it is possible to memorize all those new words you have seen in the novel that you have recently read? Or, how you can prepare for the vocabulary section of your next exam?
I have had the same problem, and after reading different posts from different websites, I can claim that I have found these tips very useful:
1.Keep an organised vocabulary notebook.
2.Look at the words again after 24 hours, after one week and after one month.
3.Read, read, read. The more times you ‘see’ a word the more easily you will remember it.
4.Use the new words. You need to use a new word about ten times before you remember it!
5.Do word puzzles and games like crosswords, anagrams and wordsearches.
6.Make word cards and take them with you. Read them on the bus or when you are waiting for your friends.
7.Learn words with a friend. It can be more fun and easier to learn with someone else.
8.Learn how to use a dictionary. What information is next to a word in the dictionary?
9.Learn a few words but not too many. About eight new words a day is a good number.

عطرشان را سر میکشم
نگاهم بر صفحاتشان می لغزد
سپس هر کدام را به قفسه شان باز میگردانم...
