Imagine that you are thinking about how to learn a new skill in your classroom. In which way would you learn this skill best? Listening to an expert explain how to use the skill? Or reading a book about the new skill?
Mainly, there are three kinds of learners: visual(视觉的), auditory(听觉的)and reading/writing.
Visual learners need to see the teachers' body language and expressions in order to fully understand the lesson. They may learn the best from videos and pictures in textbooks. If this is your kind of learning, draw pictures instead of writing words down when you make word cards. This may help you learn better.
Auditory learners can learn as effectively( 有 效 地 )by listening as visual learners. This kind of learning style depends on listening to conversations, hearing a teacher explain the lesson or using tapes to remember English words. If you are this kind of learner, record your teacher's class and listen to it later. It's more useful for reading / writing learners to read the text. These people enjoy spending time reading all kinds of books and then writing their thoughts. If you like this way, you can review notes or do writing exercises to remember information better.
