Big Picture Vocabulary Text
Hello, this is AJ. Welcome to the vocabulary lesson for "The Big Picture." I've got some
good news. This is a pretty easy article so the vocabulary lesson is quite short. Yay!
Let's start it.
Our first word is memorize. Dennis said real learning is not memorizing knowledge.
Real learning is knowing how to use and find knowledge or facts. To memorize means
to remember. It really means to force yourself to remember...force to remember. Make
yourself remember. Force yourself to remember. That's memorizing. For example, you
have a word list and you want to memorize the meaning of each word. So you repeat it
again and again and again and again and again. Memorize means remember.
Memorize means remember. Memorize means remember. Memorize means
remember. Force to remember, force to remember, force to remember, force to
remember. Memorize means force to remember. Memorize means force to remember.
That's the memorization technique. Memorization is the noun. You are memorizing the
meaning...just repeating again, again, again, again. You are memorizing the word and
its meaning. So we don't memorize here. Do not do that. Just listen to the vocabulary.
Don't try to study it, okay? We don't study at Effortless English. We listen and we
enjoy. That's all. So you listen to the vocabulary a few times and then you listen to the
other lessons. The other lessons are the most important. Don't try to memorize. Don't
force yourself to remember. It'll happen. You will remember automatically with our
method, don't worry.
Our next word is integrate. Dennis says real learning is knowing how to integrate
knowledge and use it. To integrate means to mix or combine or merge. It means you're
putting things together, putting things together...mixing...so to integrate means to mix.
And what it means is, it means you learn something new, it's not enough. You have to
combine it, you have to mix it with everything you already know, right?
You already know a lot of things then you learn something new. You have to combine
the new thing with the old knowledge. You are mixing them together. You're seeing
how they go together. You see how they fit together. How they integrate, how they mix.
So integrate has this idea of mixing and combining, putting things together in a useful
way. So to integrate...again, to integrate...put together, mix together in a useful way, in
an effective way. That's integrate.
Our next word is noted. Noted, he says as noted psychology expert Seymour Sarason
said...and then he tells you what he said. Noted psychology experts, so Seymour
Sarason is a noted psychology expert. Well, noted just means famous, that's all it
