  6. Reading and writing • Of all the reading materials, besides learning a large amount of vocabulary as well as phrases, I also became more familiar with the structure of a composition. Though my writing skill still has much to be desired. I noticed that a good writing consists of three important parts. They are Introduction, Body, and Conclusion. • Above all, what I really learned was the ways to guess about the meaning of a new word which I came across in the reading. And that is context clues. • The context clues are divided into 5 parts: Definition clue, Series clue, Synonym clue, Antonym clue, and Experience clue. • Among the five parts, I found Synonym and Antonym are most useful for me. So here I list some of them to you.

  7. Synonym and Antonym

  8. WORDS WITH SEVERAL MEANINGS • One single word has several or you may say a lot of meanings in different sentences. You have to read the whole sentence or even the paragraph to find the suitable meaning out. Here I would take the word “take” for example. (right) • Comparison ~ several words have a similar meaning! (down)

  9. Reference skills • A Dictionary → words are listed alphabetically → words come from what language → words’ meanings • A table of contents → be found in the front of a book → lists the chapters of the book • An index →be found in the back of a book → lists topics in the book alphabetically by key words • An encyclopedia → a set of books about people, places, and things → the articles in each volume are in alphabetical order • An atlas → contains maps of many places and tables of geographical facts • An almanac → has up-to-date information on history and current events each year

  10. Learning words by prefixes • prefixes: go in front of a word. 字首 • change the meanings of words. 字意 • The prefixes arrangement (click here)
