We recycle rubbish , so why not language ? Recycling language means using vocabulary（词汇）that you have learned before again and again . However , unlike rubbish that piles up（堆积）in our environment , if we do not recycle language , we simply forget it . So how do you recycle language? There are basically three ways to do it .
The first is through reading . Go back to your favorite articles and read them once more . Just reread them and do not worry about each vocabulary item . If there are some that you are not sure about , make a guess and you will probably guess right .
The second way to recycle it through writing. Look at some of your favorite articles and write either a short paragraph or a few sentences in your own words. After you have done this a few times, go back and read through what you have written, checking vocabulary functions. Don’t worry if you have made mistakes. You should learn from mistakes.网]
The third way to recycle language is by having a chat with yourself about your favorite articles at home . You can pretend there is someone with you who speaks English and tell him what you are thinking about or how you feel .
