"Rome wasn't built in a day", learning history well is not an overnight event.

History is a memorable subject, and it is often difficult for people to remember all the knowledge they have learned, or even forget it several times. In fact, it should be remembered that historical knowledge has rules to follow. For example, studying ancient history can be divided into five parts: political characteristics, economic characteristics, ethnic relations, foreign exchanges and culture. For the world history and the modern history of China, we should pay attention to understanding, because many historical events are intertwined and come down in one continuous line, thus forming a relatively large memory network, and rote learning is not feasible, and it is very difficult. This needs the help of understanding, and it is easier to sort out the ins and outs of this historical event by using the method of logical reasoning in connection with the historical background at that time.

For the review of history, due to different personal circumstances, the focus will be different. Personally, I think we should pay attention to the basic knowledge of books and notes before the exam, because 30 multiple-choice questions occupy half of the country, and multiple-choice questions are often some basic knowledge. For material questions, you need to accumulate in peacetime. For example, every Wednesday, the teacher asks us to ask questions. Even if we really don't want to do it, we should look at the materials, compare the answers, and have a general impression of the materials, because the material questions often involve problems that we haven't touched or explained in detail in the books. Doing material problems can expand our knowledge.

As we all know, history is a subject that does not need high thinking ability, but it pays attention to the rigor of thinking. Therefore, if you want to learn history well, you can't just muddle along, you should be down-to-earth and step by step. As long as you build confidence and master effective learning methods and problem-solving skills, you can be in an invincible position in the college entrance examination.

The road is at our feet, and we will be able to walk well; As long as we master the learning methods, we won't cross the wooden bridge that many people are afraid of, but the wooden bridge above which we can walk unimpeded.

First, generate interest.

If you are interested in history, your grades will naturally get better. How to get interested in history?

First, historical events are closely related to us. For example, the issue of Hong Kong 1997 is related to the Sino-British treaties 1842, 1860, 1898; Today's Yugoslav civil war is closely related to the First and Second World Wars. Therefore, as long as we pay attention to current events and explore the source, we will certainly be able to consolidate the knowledge in books.

Second, understand the use of history. History can train the ability of thinking and analysis, and make people have the spirit of seeking truth, telling evidence and telling logic. History is of great help to life. Retirement can inspire people, and progress can make achievements-Churchill, the famous British Prime Minister, is a historian, and the late Governor Youde also specializes in history. Therefore, don't feel inferior just because you study liberal arts, especially history. On the contrary, we should try our best to learn this subject well, and work hard on our studies, personal cultivation and understanding of the land and the future.

Second, the elements of historical events and reading and reciting skills.

Historical events have four elements: time, place, people and things; And things include cause, process and result.

(1) Time is sequential. You only need to look at the important events in the chronology several times and you will remember them naturally. Except for important events, you need to know the year of occurrence (for example, the Vienna Conference was 18 14- 15, and the Revolution of 1911 was l9 1 1), others only need to know the approximate age or the sequence of different events (for example, the Vienna Conference preceded the Versailles Conference).

(2) The locations are east, west, north and south. You only need to know the approximate or relative position of each place. The best way is to confirm the political map of today's countries, especially the borders and major cities of Europe, China and Japan. In addition, we should also bear in mind the territorial transformation stipulated in several treaties.

(3) People are the protagonists of historical events. However, HKCEE's requirements are not too high, and only important historical figures need to be memorized to cope with the exam. For example, Zeng, Zuo, Li, Prince Gong and Empress Dowager Cixi of the self-improvement movement must recite them, while Wei Yuan, Feng Guifen and other minor figures know a little, and then forget them. We should also know the living times and deeds of different historical figures, so as not to be arrogant.

(4) An event consists of three elements: time, place and person. Knowing the time, place and people mentioned above, I can know all the important historical events. The relevant ages of historical events should be clearly analyzed: first, look at the order of topics; 1860 to 19 19 and other important events, including the self-improvement movement, the Sino-French War, the Sino-Japanese War, the partition movement, the Reform Movement of 1898, the Boxer Movement, the reform in the late Qing Dynasty, the Revolution of 1911, and the May 4th Movement. Then remember the other main plots of an event. For example, the self-improvement movement was divided into three stages, and the Revolution of 1911 was divided into two periods: the Zhong Xing Society and the League Society. As for trivial matters, it seems that they are not the focus of the assessment.

(5) The cause and result of the incident can be divided into political, economic, social and cultural aspects. Take the reasons for the outbreak of the First Opium War as an example: the political aspect includes the differences in political system and judicial system between China and Britain; On the economic level, there are differences in industrial and agricultural economy, public banking system, trade imbalance and opium trade; The influence of social factors such as British businessmen on government decision-making; Cultural aspects, such as the difference between Chinese centralism and British liberalism, the conflict between individual responsibility and collective responsibility; Special events include Lin Zexu's opium trafficking incident and Lin incident. If we can remember these important events, we will have a clear concept of the background of the Opium War. In a word, political, economic, social, cultural and other formulas can be applied to any historical event and get twice the result with half the effort.

(6) Causality should be based on historical facts and logic. The cause comes before the result, and the result comes after the cause, both of which should be reasonable. From this perspective, historical events should not be viewed in isolation, such as the failure of France in the Franco-Prussian War, which led to the cession of Alsace and Lorraine. The former was the cause and the latter was the result. However, since then, the relationship between France and Germany has deteriorated. When World War I broke out, the division of land was the cause, but war was the result. Therefore, if we can take time as the lesson and events as the latitude, we can draw inferences from one another, then the causal relationship of events will be well known and learning will get twice the result with half the effort.

(7) Only remember major events, such as the Italian unification movement, the revolutions of 1820.5438+0830 and 1848, Gafur's reform and diplomacy, Ma Zhini's thought and Garibao's contribution. In recent years, the national examination did not emphasize reciting historical facts, as long as you know the most important historical facts.

(8) In recent years, examinations have emphasized analysis, and candidates will also be asked to comment on historians' different views on the same historical event. Beginners are often confused by contradictory historical theories and don't know which theory to believe; At the same time, I doubt the objectivity of historical interpretation. My suggestions are: first, understand an explanation and analyze its advantages and disadvantages; But at the same time, I hold the spirit of doubt and criticism, compare with the opposite opinions, and draw my own conclusions.

(9) Like other subjects, as long as you preview before class, write down what you don't understand, listen carefully in class, and ask the teacher for advice if you don't understand; Review after class, organize notes and remember key points; Read more, think more, write more and do more simulation questions (completed within the legal time); Review the key points before the exam, and calmly choose topics and answer questions during the exam. If you can do the above, you can get good grades.
