The strongest English study method using ChatGPT (Part 2)
This blog is about "memorizing English words" that everyone has struggled with. When I was in high school, I was half-crying and staring at my vocabulary book before the test.
If you were told to memorize 200 English words within 10 days, what kind of study plan would you make?
It can probably be roughly divided into the following two patterns.
Pattern 1: Memorize 20 words a day.
Pattern 2: Skim over 200 words at once and repeat what you are trying to memorize over and over again over the course of 10 days.
Which pattern do you think will help you remember more words?
In conclusion, pattern 2 is better remembered.
The reason is related to the "Ebbinghaus oblivion curve" that you may have heard of at least once. (Figure below)
Usually, people are designed to forget more than half of what they remember the next day. This is very natural for humans.
So, if you memorize 200 words every day, how many words do you remember at the beginning of the 10th day?
You will have forgotten more than half of what you learned on the ninth day. It's scary! !
order not to waste your efforts, it is very important to touch as many words as possible every day! !
However, it is honestly painful to repeatedly flip through the vocabulary book and memorize it, and to be honest, it is painful.
The English vocabulary learning method that I would like to recommend to you is that you can do it by using ChatGPT! !
You're curious, right?
The way to do this is to have ChatGPT create a story using words you can't remember! !
Even if you are not good at words, it will be much easier to remember because of the context of the story and sentences!
So let's actually do it.
For example, let's say you're struggling to memorize the following five words.
・Significant
・hunger
・Estate
・supreme (best)
・globe (Earth)
Use these five words in ChatGPT to instruct you to create a story. The point here is to specify the number of characters as "about ○○ characters". If you don't do this, you will be sent a very long story (laughs).
So let's actually do it.
I
specified that it should be 100 words, but it seemed that the conditions were a little strict to use all five English words, and about 170 words of story were generated.
Here are the generated stories and their translations (from DeepL):
In a significant turn of events, a young and hungry explorer named Amelia embarked on a thrilling journey across the globe. Her quest was to discover a hidden treasure that had been lost for centuries, rumored to be hidden on a remote estate deep in the jungles of South America.
With supreme determination, Amelia overcame treacherous terrain, wild animals, and dense forests. Her hunger for adventure and the promise of untold riches fueled her every step. As she ventured deeper into the estate, she uncovered clues and mysterious artifacts that hinted at the treasure's location.
Amelia's significant discoveries drew the attention of rival treasure hunters, creating a race against time. The estate's secrets were shrouded in history and danger, but Amelia's courage and wit proved to be her greatest allies.
In the end, it wasn't just gold and jewels that made her journey significant, but the knowledge and friendships she gained along the way. Amelia's supreme adventure became a legend that would be told across the globe for generations to come.
"By chance, a young and hungry explorer named Amelia embarks on a thrilling journey across the globe. Her quest was to discover a treasure that had been missing for centuries, rumored to be hidden in a remote land deep in the jungles of South America.
With the utmost determination, Amelia overcame treacherous terrain, wildlife, and dense forests. Her thirst for adventure and the promise of immense wealth fueled her every step. As she ventured deeper into the estate, she discovered clues and enigmatic artifacts that pointed to the treasure.

I think you can see that the sentence is surprisingly properly written. This way, you can memorize words much more efficiently than staring at a vocabulary book by reading a short story a few times.
If you repeat this, grammatical matters such as the relationship between verbs and prepositions will naturally come into your mind, so you can learn grammar on your own while studying words, killing two birds with one stone! !
