随身携带一个笔记本，写下你学习到的新单词

 

 

If you're in the beginning stages of learning a language, this process might be too overwhelming¹, since you're learning new words all the time. But once you get to an intermediate² or advanced level, your learning process slows down.

 

 

In the beginning, you progressed easily because you were learning simple verb tenses and lists of super useful vocabulary that you use every day – hello, "How are you?", "Can I have a pen, please?" – and when you get past that stage, the learning suddenly gets more difficult.

 

 

When you're advanced, keeping a record of the words you learn can also help you from getting frustrated³ and thinking that you aren't learning anything new. As long as you use the language, you'll always be progressing.

 

 

1 overwhelming

参考例句：

• The flood was overwhelming and the city was soon drowned.洪水来势凶猛，很快这个城市就被淹没了。
• The act was adopted by an overwhelming majority.该法案以压倒多数通过。

2 intermediate   

adj.中间的，居间的，中级的；n.中间体，媒介物

参考例句：

• Gray is intermediate between black and white.灰色介于黑色和白色之间。

3 frustrated   

adj.挫败的，失意的，泄气的v.使不成功( frustrate的过去式和过去分词 )；挫败；使受挫折；令人沮丧
