在学习群里我多次提到，背诵是学习语言的有效途径。也就是“做复制”“简单听话照”
背诵的方法是先把文章读短，再把文章读长。
读短，就是看着文章分意群，并找出意群关键词。
读长，就是不看着文章，通过关键词把原文串出来。
操作流程：全文读三遍。意群读一遍背一遍三循环。串联背一遍。纠错标一遍。全文读三遍背三遍。
下面是原文。
1 Chinese new year春节（中国的新年）
Chinese new year is the most important festival for Chinese people all over the world. It is also called the spring festival or the lunar new year.
The exact date of the sprint festival on the western calendar changes from year to year. However, the spring festival takes place between January 1 and February 19.
On the Chinese calendar, every year has an animal’s name. The animals are the rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, ram, monkey, rooster, dog and pig. A Chinese legend says that these twelve animals had a race. The first year was named after the rat, the winner. The other eleven years were named according to the order in which they arrived in the race. The clever rat jumped on the ox’s back and then jumped over the ox’s head to arrive first.
The Chinese believe that a person born in a particular year has some of the characteristic of that animal.
