Abstract
Around twenty years ago, I started to “see” the Internet. During those days one could gain open access to a remote system to only the public directories through FTP and Telnet. Then, the Internet came with the development of Hyper Text Markup Language (HTML), and programs (browsers). This gave rise to the World Wide Web (WWW), thanks to it, at least I was told, whose codes were free for everybody to use; consequently we started to say: “Your stuff (i.e. knowledge or information) is nothing, if not sharing (on internet)”. I thus made my own website to “share” my “tricks” on morph memory of English words by borrowing mother language Chinese (a morph language) memory. For instance, one could imagine that any words with an initial letter “j”, such as “joy” and “jump”, as that I (hereby I connects to both people “ I “ and also its lower case “i”, roughly like the upper half of j, so I (i) is j umping because of “joy” whatever and then we may expand it to other words having initial letter with j , such as Jupitor, jolt , jogging. It could sound funny to American students but this may indeed help Chinese students to understand and memorize dozens of words easily since they are definitively good at morph memory. Interestingly, a few days later after the debutant of my homepage, several Chinese students sent me emails to express that they like it. What an amazing first experience!
