5、ite down what can make you feel or learn something,汉语是我们的母语，我们从学英语开始，就是用汉语来解释和记忆英语的。变“用汉语解释和记忆英语”为“用英语解释和记忆英语”。避免了将英语转换为另一种语言汉语所带来的不便和时间耗费。不但提高了效率，而且久而久之，有可能在头脑中建立起两种思维系统，即在汉语思维之外，还可以逐步建立起独立的英语思维系统,用英语解释和记忆英语，本身就是在学习和运用英语，对提高英语语感和英语的阅读理解能力以及综合运用能力很有好处，是一举多得的好方法。真正做到了用英语品味英语，越品越有味；用英语理解英语，理解更准确。鉴于本环节
