Learning Strategy 学习技巧
Learning Strategies are the thoughts and actions that help make learning easier or more effective.
The learning strategy for this lesson is Substitute. That means using one thing instead of another. In using English, if you can't think of a word, you can use a phrase that means the same thing. Let's say you cannot remember the word "huge." You can say "very, very big" instead and communicate the same meaning. Or, you can use a gesture with your arms out to your side. Gestures are another way to substitute when communicating in your second language.
本课的学习技巧是替换。如果你在说英语时，忽然想不起某个词的说话，不妨换了用法来表达同样的意思。比如说，你不记得 huge 怎么说了，就可以说，very very big, 反正意思是一样的，或者也可以用手势比划。
In this lesson, after Anna makes pancakes for dinner, she says, "Yes! I call it let’s-eat-breakfast-for-dinner dinner!" She substitutes a breakfast food for a dinner food. Marsha agrees with Anna's substitution. She says, "Anna, you made it work!
本课中，Anna晚饭做了薄煎饼，用早餐的食物来做晚饭，就是替代的例子。
How about you? Do you ever substitute in speaking English? Write to us about it in the Comments section or send us an email. Teachers, see the Lesson Plan for more details on teaching this strategy.
