Now again, coming back to that notebook, always have a notebook with you, always have a pen with you and don't limit yourself to one new word.
再说一次，回到笔记本这个话题上来，你们随时都要带一本笔记本，随时都要带一支笔，还有，不要局限于一个新单词。
When you learn a new word, make sure you learn different forms of the same word, okay?
当你们学习一个新单词的时候，请一定要学习同一个单词的不同形式。
So for example, the word "beautiful", let's say this is a new word for you, you learn the word "beautiful".
比如单词"beautiful"，我们假设这对你们来说是个新单词，你们在学"beautiful"这个单词。
Put it in your adjective column, it's an adjective, that's what you want.
把它写在你们笔记本上形容词那一栏，它是个形容词，是你们想学的单词。
But why not learn the other forms?
但是为什么不学学它的其他形式呢？
For example, what is the adverb form of "beautiful" ?
比如，"beautiful"的副词是什么？
I think most of you know it, it's "beautifully", so you have now two new words.
我想你们大部分人都知道，那就是"beautifully"，那么现在你们有两个新单词了。
What is the noun form of "beautiful"?
"beautiful"的名词形式是什么呢？
It's "beauty", you now have three new words in your vocabulary.
是"beauty"，现在你们的词汇量里增加了三个新单词。
Is there a verb form of "beautiful" ?
"beautiful"有没有动词形式呢？
Yes, as a matter of fact there is.
有，事实上还真有。
"Beautify", means to make beautiful, you now have four new words.
那就是"beautify"，它的意思是“使......美丽”，你们现在学会了四个新单词。
Think of other words, "beautician".
再想想其他单词，比如"beautician"。
"Beautician" is a person who works making people more beautiful, she does facials and manicures and pedicures and wax and whatever else these beauticians do.
"beautician"（美容师）的工作职责是把人们变得更加美丽，她会做美容、美甲、足疗、脱毛以及任何这些美容师会做的其他事情。
Anyways try to find other forms, learn many words instead of just one word, okay?
反正你们一定要试着找到单词的其他形式，学习多个单词而不是仅仅只学一个。
Now some people like to study roots and suffixes and prefixes.
有些人喜欢研究词根、后缀和前缀。
Personally I'm not a huge fan of this recommendation, but first, let me explain what a root is.
个人来说，我对这个做法并不是很推荐，不过我还是先给你们解释一下什么是词根吧。
