How to improve your vocabulary

Avoir un vocabulaire riche et varié en anglais ? Comment faire ? Il y a trois étapes essentielles àrespecter : la mémorisation, le stockage et l’enrichissement.

• Entraîne-toi à mémoriser tous les adjectifs que tu as appris dans File 1.

• Il y a certainement d’autres adjectifs de personnalité que tu connais. Ajoute-les aux adjectifsappris dans File 1 et mémorise-les en même temps.• Chaque fois que tu rencontreras un autre adjectif de personnalité pendant l’année, pense àl’ajouter dans ta fiche.

• Commence toujours tes révisions par un petit test (à partir des traductions, des dessins, des petitspapiers français-anglais, etc.), pour savoir combien de mots tu parviens à retrouver de mémoire.Note ton score avant la révision.• Révise surtout les mots que tu avais oubliés en choisissant diverses techniques de mémorisation.Travaille pendant une dizaine de minutes.• Teste-toi et note ton score après révision. S’il n’est pas parfait, tu feras mieux à la prochaine révision !

MÉMORISATION

STOCKAGE

ENRICHISSEMENT

TIPS Pour bien mémoriser son vocabulaire, il faut faire quelque chose avec :- classer les mots à apprendre par thèmes ;- dans chaque liste par thème, les classer par synonymes ou contraires, par

catégories grammaticales ou inventer un autre classement ;- noter la traduction des mots ou les illustrer par un dessin ;- employer les mots dans des phrases ;- fermer les yeux, voir un mot écrit dans sa tête et le recopier de mémoire ;- inventer divers jeux de mémorisation : mimes, petites papiers français-anglais dans

une enveloppe, choisir une lettre au hasard et trouver un mot qui commence parcette lettre, etc. ;

- varier les techniques pour trouver celle qui te convient le mieux.

TIP 80% du vocabulaire que tu apprends est oublié dans les 24 heures.Une seule solution : réviser régulièrement à l’aide d’un planning de révision.

TIPS - Laisse toujours de la place sur les fiches de vocabulaire que tu constitues,pour pouvoir les enrichir.

- Chaque fois que tu apprends des mots nouveaux, cherche dans quellefiche tu pourrais les placer, sinon commence de nouvelles fiches.

STRATEGIES

• Prépare-toi un planning de révisions pour les adjectifs de File 1 que tu as mémorisés. En voici un exemple :

Fun PageFun PageLove is all

Everybody’s got to live together

All the people got to understand

So, love your neighbour

Like you love your brother

Come on and join the band.

Well, all you need is love and understanding

Ring the bell and let the people know

We’re so happy and we’re celebratin’

Come on and let your feelings show.

Love is all, well love is all,

Love is all, can’t you hear the call

Oh, love is all you need,

Love is all you need at the Butterfly Ball.

Ain’t you happy that we’re all together

At the Ball in nature’s countryside

And although we’re wearing different faces

Nobody wants to hide.

Love is all and all is love and

It’s easy, yes it’s so easy

At the Butterfly Ball where love is all

And it’s so easy.

All you need is love and understanding

Hey, ring the bell and let the people know

We’re so happy and we’re celebratin’

Let your feelings show.

Love is all, yes love is all at the Butterfly Ball

Love is big, love is small

Love is free, love is all

At the Butterfly Ball.

When your back’s to the wall

When you’re starting to fall

You got something to lean on

Love is everything

It can make you sing at the Butterfly Ball

Love is all, I say love is all, yes love is all

At the Butterfly Ball.
