In the 21st century, with the rapid development of our society, the science and technology, especially with China’s entry into the WTO, China and other countries will have more and more co-operation. And English penetrates into our daily life more and more. But in English learning, word remembering confuses many English learners. And whether the learners can remember more words effectively affects the interest of learners and substantial results directly. Still, the lacking of vocabulary will affect students’ ability of listening, speaking, and students’ integral English level.
There are two main reasons that lead to the difficulty in word remembering. The first reason is related to the words. Some words are too long and too complicated to remember, and other words that are seldom used are difficult to remember, and so on. The second reason is related to the learners. For example, whether English learners have the right attitude and faith, and whether the students apply the newly learned words constantly. To solve those problems, firstly, a right attitude and determination should be built; secondly, it is important to choose a suitable vocabulary book; thirdly, the learners should arrange time reasonably and adopt methods scientifically; fourthly, the learners should read more, besides remembering; finally, the learners should review the newly learned words constantly.
This paper also suggests some detailed skills aiming for the problems stated previously, such as, remembering words according to their root, prefix and suffix, remembering words by imagination, and so on.
