英语学习中所遇到的最大困扰之一，莫过于记忆单词了。许多人抱怨单词难记的原因之一在于英语词汇中有不少拼写形式和读音相近的词，它们貌似神离，稍不留心就会混淆。为了便于记忆这类单词，本书把这些音形相近的词分组，并根据每组词中的意义编成读来顺口的韵文。

本书中的英语韵文巧妙地把同韵的词有规律地配置在韵文中每句话的句尾，使韵律、节奏、意境结合在一起，读起来声韵和谐，琅琅上口，令人回味，便于诵记。虽然这些韵文长短不一，但每篇韵文都有一串音形相似的单词，构成一个故事，有相对完整的意义，使词汇在大脑中的存储状态不是孤立和无序的，而是由新奇意境把它们联系在一起。韵文中生动的语境也为区分单词的意义、辨音识词创造了条件，使原本枯燥乏味的学习记忆内容变得生动活泼，增强了单词学习的趣味性，对巩固词汇的记忆，起到事半功倍的效果。
