時尚口語學習

When learning English, a good memory will help you, but a good imagination may help you even more. For example, in English we don’t have many words for colors, but we have many ways to describe a color.

We say red like a cherry, or red like blood, or red like someone’s lips. But red is red. What comes to mind when you think of red? I think of different things like delicious red apples, expensive red sports cars, sparkling red rubies, or red roses. I also think of different images, ooh, a company that is not doing well, it’s in the red; or special ‘red-carpet’ treatment you might give a VIP. A person with a bad sunburn is as red as a lobster. A person who is angry is red in the face.

Word association exercises can help you with English. So, I hope you’re in the mood to exercise.

Talk about it:

When you hear the word “red”, what comes to your mind? What is your favorite color? How does the color red make you feel? What is something that is like red? Did you ever play word association games? Does having a good imagination help you learn the language? How can the good imagination be helpful? What method do you use to learn English?
