You, of course, know that you will never add vcry rapidly to your vocabulary by merely coming across
words, or by reading or by talking. You must have a plan.
Here is one way to get ahead with words in everyday life. It's the simplest thing in the world.
Buy a small pocket notebook. When you read a newspaper, a magazine, or a book, or listen to TV or
radio, and come upon a strange word, enter it in your notebook. Then look it up in the dictionary. If you
find that it's a word too difficult to understand or a highly technical mterm, just pass it by. But if it sounds
like a word that will be helpful to you. take possession of it, make it your own personal possession. Say
it aloud many times. Study its exact meaning, and note its root. Be sure, also, to copy from the dictionary
the example sentence in which it is used, if such is given. Then write your own sentence in line with the
example in the dictionary.
the list in your notebook will grow gradually, as will your command of English.
