《2025年课时提优计划作业本八年级英语上册译林版连云港专版》

(A)
I am not very good at languages. But next month,I’m going to Congo in Africa,and I want to learn Lingala,one of the local languages,for basic conversations. I wasn’t sure how I could do this until I found Memo,an app to learn foreign languages. Now I’m using some short breaks to learn Lingala on Memo. It feels just like a game.
“People often stop learning things because they feel they’re not getting any growth or because it all feels like too much hard work,” says Ed Cooke,one of the people who created Memo. “We’re trying to create a kind of learning experience that is fun and something you’d want to do.”
Memo is fun. It gives you a few new words to learn,and these are “seeds(种子)” that you plant in your “greenhouse”. When you work on the words,you “water your plants”,and they grow. When the app believes that you have really remembered a word,it moves the word to your “garden”. You get points as your garden grows,so you can compare yourself with other Memo users. You go to the next level when you get a high score. If you forget to log in(登录),the app informs you to “water your plants”.
The app uses two rules about learning. The first is that people remember things better when they connect them to a picture in their mind. Memo translates words into your own language,but it also encourages you to use “mems”—pictures that help you remember new words. You can use mems that other users have created,or you can create your own. The second rule is to have a break between studying activities. You should stop after studying words and then come back to them later. Memo helps you with this because you only use it for five or ten minutes a day.
I’ve learned hundreds of Lingala words with Memo. I know this won’t make me a perfect speaker,but I hope I can do more than just smile and nod when I meet people in Congo. Now,I need to go and “water” my vocabulary!
