7.Activating Your Vocabulary

　　Activate your vocabulary by thinking or speaking briefly about the subject you are about to work on. For example, if you are going to study English on topics that focus on vacations, take a moment to think about your last vacation, what you did, what you enjoyed, etc. This simple exercise will help your brain warm-up to vocabulary that you are likely to encounter as you study English about this particular subject.

　　通过思考或简述即将开展的主题，可以激活你的词汇。例如，如果你要学习关于度假的英语话题，你可以花点时间想想上一次的假期、你都做了些什么、喜欢什么等等。在学习特定的英语主题时，这个简单的练习可以帮助你的大脑为学习词汇做好准备。

　　8.Activating Your Grammar

　　Activate your grammar by thinking about the general grammar area before you begin to study. For example, if you are going to study English grammar focusing on the past, stop to think about what you did last weekend, where you went, etc. to help activate what you already understand about using the past. As with activating vocabulary, you‘ll help your brain bring up what it knows about the past simple in an easy way before you begin to focus on studying English grammar in detail.
