我明白沒有人喜歡背單字，但是既然已經耗了這麼多年青春歲月，與其血本無歸，不如這次就認了，老老實實把這144個字背下來吧!
這裡有個比較不吃力的記憶方法，跟大家分享:
第一步:
將分成六組的這144個字紀錄在可以隨身攜帶的資料卡上面
第二步:
每個不熟悉的新字至少要經過三遍的反覆記憶，才能夠長期留在腦中，所以前7天，每天背21個字(不要按照字母順序從A開始背，最好是每一組開頭選三個就好)，將144個字都先背誦過一遍後，第二遍花4天，第三遍花2天，就會有相當好的效果。
第三步:
將學過的字彙，大量運用在生活簡短的表達中，而不要背誦整個句子，增加負擔，也不要去記憶一個辭的多重意思，只要記憶其中最主要的就可以了。
學習如何正確使用這144個字，可以幫助無論在正式場合說話，或是書寫的時候，大幅提升內容的品質，這些字並不是像托福字彙那樣冷僻，古怪，讓人用來賣弄，而是實際上正式場合天都會派上用場的實用字，可以的話，製作成為字卡，隨身攜帶，直到自然而然能夠在日常使用為止。
就算沒有辦法記得144個，就算只熟練使用其中44個字，也絕對可以在任何正式場合讓人刮目相看。
