🎶 如何高效背誦托福單字？ 🎶

托福備考中托福詞彙的背誦至關重要。在托福考試中想要拿到一個比較滿意的分數，需要多少字彙量呢？當然是越多越好！其實想要考托福，一萬左右的字彙量應該是OK的。面對如此龐大的字彙量要求，我們應該如何高效的記憶單字呢？

pacman 表情符號 首先，背單字不能一次背太多，一天一個list就夠了，關鍵是要複習。複習最好是用音檔給自己聽寫，一個list聽寫了3次基本就沒問題了。在這裡要強調的是堅持複習，一個list複習過5遍就可以了，因為已經背得很熟了。每天早上起床讀1遍之前所背的單字，晚上睡覺前再聽寫一遍，既訓練口語又能培養語感。

🎁 中英文稿：
Mantis shrimp are well known for their powerful punch… strong enough to crack aquarium glass. But they also have incredible technicolor vision. "They can see in 12 different colors, they can see in different forms of polarized light, and they have some very bright and flashy colors on different parts of their bodies that they can display to each other." Nick Roberts, a sensory biologist at the University of Bristol, in the U.K.
螳螂蝦因為其強有力的鉗子而聞名。它強悍的鉗子可以擊碎魚缸玻璃。但是令人難以置信的是，螳螂蝦擁有色彩視覺。“它們可以看到12種不同的色彩，同時可以看到不同形式的偏振光。螳螂蝦身體上一些部位的顏色非常的明亮、閃耀。”尼克•羅伯茨，是英國布裡斯托大學的一名感覺生物學家。
Roberts and his colleagues investigated how the mantis shrimp create those flashy polarized signals, by examining their shells with an electron microscope. And they found that, unlike the polarizers in our sunglasses, cameras and LCD screens, the mantis shrimp use a completely novel way of polarizing light. And their method doesn't require the material to be as thick to be effective--meaning their polarizers are incredibly thin—500 times thinner, in fact, than the ones we've got.
羅伯茨和他的同事們利用電子顯微鏡檢查了螳螂蝦的貝殼，以調查它們是如何製造這些閃爍的極化信號。研究發現，與我們眼鏡、照相機、以及液晶顯示幕中偏光器不同的是，螳螂蝦採用了一種新穎的偏振光線。螳螂蝦並不要求偏光器的有效厚度，這也就意味著它們的偏光器非常的薄——實際上，比我們使用的偏光器要薄500倍。
"I think like many cases of biomimetic inspiration, Nature has had 50-odd million years to do its research and development and has come up with all sorts of solutions that we've never thought of." The results appear in the journal Scientific Reports.
“我認為，就像許多仿生靈器一樣，大自然已經利用了5千萬年的時間來做研發，也因此想到了我們人類從未想到的解決方案。”該研究結果發表在《科學報告》雜誌上。
And while you probably don't need thinner polarized sunglasses, Roberts says this could be a game changer for next-generation computer chips—optical chips—which use photons to perform calculations. "One of the things we would love to be able to do is actually create self-assembling polarizers on a microscopic scale, or even a nanoscale, that go onto photonic chips." Seems fitting that mantis shrimp would hold one of the secrets to making our technology… well… a little shrimpier.
羅伯茨說，雖然，你可能不會需要太薄的偏光太陽鏡，但將改變一下代的電腦晶片——光學晶片——這些晶片利用光子來進行計算。“我們希望能夠做到，創造自我組裝的微觀偏振器，甚至是可以應用到光子晶片的納米級別的偏振器。”似乎這些螳螂蝦們掌握了我們這項技術的秘訣，這些小傢伙們啊！

Hello there.
大家好！
Now Rosie, a slightly personal question to start with, but have you ever made a special gesture to someone you love?
目前，Rosie，我想首先問一個有點私人的問題，你曾經對你愛的人做過特別的舉動嗎？
Well, Neil I’m a very romantic person and I always make small gestures to people I love. For instance, I like leaving small, romantic notes to my boyfriend around the house.
Neil，我是一個很浪漫的人，我總是對我愛的人做一些小動作。（場外無語。。。）例如，我喜歡給我男朋友在房間裡留一些小而浪漫的便條。
Well, that is very romantic! Have you ever been to Rome?

 如何讓托福寫作加速

托福寫作相對來說，時間段並且對品質要求較高。有些同學無法在規定時間內完成，怎麼辦呢?

一旦當我們開始寫作文的時候，我們一下就被‘托福作文’這個東西給鎮住了!別說寫出一篇高品質作文了，哪怕就是寫出一篇300字的作文，大部分人也是要2個小時左右的時間。因此橫亙在我們面前的第一個問題，就變成了如何在30分鐘時間之內寫出一篇作文了。
