① It’s very important to keep a record of new words as you learn them. There are many ways to do this and this passage will give you ideas about how you can do this.

② Word cards

Museum

(noun)

A large building where old objects are kept and shown.

Example: National Museum or Natural Science Museum

Word cards are small cards to help you remember words. Making a set of word cards is an easy way to go over words.

Follow these steps to make word cards:

On one side you write the word, pronunciation and part of speech, e. g. noun, verb, etc.

On the other side write the meaning or a sentence with the word in. You could also write a translation or draw a picture.

Take the cards with you in your bag. When you have five minutes, e. g. on the bus, look at the word and try to remember the meaning.

Look at the other side of the card and check. Or you could read the meaning and try to remember the word.

If writing words on pieces of paper isn’t easy for you, keep a word list on your computer or mobile phone. There are mobile apps to help you.

③ Tables

VEGETABLES

MEAT

Tables are great for putting words into groups. The examples above show a table grouped by topic and one for opposites.

On June 2, 1886, a German captain threw a message in a bottle into the water while his ship crossed the Indian Ocean. Around 132 years later in January, the bottle was found on the Australian coast, making it the oldest-known message in a bottle in the world.

The bottle was thrown into the water to know about ocean waves（海浪）。 Between 1864 and 1933, German sailors threw thousands of bottles into the sea. About 663 of those messages were found later.

But throwing messages in bottles into the ocean is not just for scientists. People send out such messages for many reasons. Some people write information about themselves in the hopes of finding a pen pal. Others write down secrets, hoping that the waves will wash them away. And still other people just write down some jokes, songs or anything else they think might be fun re are even online messages in bottles. People can send the messages through WeChat or QQ.

The reasons and ways might be different, but the goal is always the same: to reach out and try to connect with someone. This kind of shared feeling might be why this tradition has remained popular for so long. In 1988. the British band The Police wrote a song called Message in A Bottle that describes this feeling .

As the song’ s lyrics say, we are “ a hundred billion castaways（被拋棄者） looking for a home. ”. When will you feel relieved（釋然的）? “ A hundred billion bottles washed up on the shore. Seems I’m not alone at being alone. ”
