【3】 If you look it up more than once, add it to your personal list.
Write! Write! Write! 【4】When you look it up how to spell a word, write it down several times in a row and do it again a day or two later. 【5】Write a blog, a journal, e-mails, a novel, anything that will keep you using words and pay special attention as you write to the words that come up wrong.
A. There is no substitute(代替) for reading a lot.
B. Put a mark next to every word you look up in the dictionary.
C. Those of us who spell well have a hard time explaining it, too.
D. Let others read your writings, and ask them to circle misspelled words.
E. You’re trying to build up the motor memory of writing it correctly spelled.
