It’s true that yu can learn new wrds when yu read r listen, but yu shuld als study new wrds seriusly. Here are a few things I d.

Make sentences with the new wrds. This is great if yu can ask smene t check them. It is als great t make up crazy sentences. In that way yu wn’t frget them! I als cllect example sentences f the wrds I’m trying t learn. If I see the wrd frm a bk, I write dwn the sentence.
Make up a mnemnic (助记符号). A mnemnic is a way t remember smething, like a shrt stry.
Fr example, if I want t remember the Japanese wrd “yukkuri” (which means “slwly”), I culd think abut the English wrds “yu” and “curry”, and maybe imagine smene eating a plate f curry very, very slwly!
Put signs with English wrds n things in yur huse. Fr example, I put the wrd “kitchen” n the kitchen dr. The prblem is that it wrks fr a while and then yu get used t the wrds and frget t read them!

Getting Creative with crime
An experiment carried ut at Newcastle University aimed at reducing the number f bike thefts has prduced sme unusual results. The mst efficient way f stpping peple frm stealing bikes seems almst t simple t be true. If yu want t persuade thieves nt t act, make them feel they’re being watched!
Psters shwing a large pair f eyes were put up near three bike racks at the university, while ther bike racks had n psters. The researchers explained that the number f thefts decreased by 62 per cent cmpared t the previus year at racks with psters. Hwever, at the ther racks, thefts actually increased by 63 per cent. Experts claim that clearly visible images f eyes make peple feel they’re being watched. They say that we all care what ther peple think abut us and that’s why we behave better when we think smene is lking. Nw fficials have agreed t carry ut similar prjects at train statins all ver the cuntry.
The “giant eyes” pster isn’t the nly unusual methd being used t try and fight crime n UK streets. In the East Midlands city f Leicester, plice are inviting peple t make large wlly balls and hang them up in trees arund the area. They hpe that these clurful additins t neighburhds will help create a safer place t live. The thinking behind the idea is that if yu create a pleasant envirnment, peple are mre likely t behave better. “We live in a wrld where ur every mve is being watched by CCTV cameras”, ne f the rganisers tld us. “The cameras are there t deter (威慑) pssible criminals, but they cme at a price, and many peple dn’t like being watched 24 hurs a day. We believe there’s anther way. We want t encurage peple t take mre pride in where they live.”
Hwever, nt all residents are happy—many refuse t believe it will make any difference. They’re demanding that the plice d mre t reduce truble in the area. One lcal resident tld us, I recmmend that the plice stp wasting their time n mad plans like this and d sme real plicing. We need t see mre plicemen walking arund ur streets, especially at night.
