How To Improve The Vocabulary By : MargarethaPartiwi Maharani D.L
The funny truth is the more words you know, the fewer you'll need - and everyone knows the most valuable talent is never to use two words when one will do. Things You'll Need • Dictionaries • Thesauri • Magazine subscriptions • Newspaper Subscription S • Index Cards • Pads Of Paper • Word-processing Software • Deluxe Scrabble
1) Read • Read books, magazines, poems, plays, stories and more. The more language you're exposed to, the more new words you'll learn.
2) find a new word • Make it a habit to find a new word every day. Look in the dictionary, sign up for "A Word a Day" (see d ictionary.com) or make swapping new words a game with a workmate or fellow student.
3)Speaking to People • Speak to people. You'll be exposed to an amazing range of cultural influences and occupations, all of which will introduce you to new words.
4) Write • Write Down Words You don’t know. Keep a pad in Your briefcase or purse just for that purpose
5) Look up the words in a dictionary • Look up the words in a dictionary so you'll understand what they mean, how they're spelled and their various usages. This will also help you remember the words.
6) Make flashcards • Make flashcards of the words and go through them regularly.
Tips & Warning • Practice your vocabulary on others, though it might be an adjustment to blurt out those three-dollar words. • Begin each morning with a brand new word - you can buy a calendar for this purpose, or you can keep a dictionary right next to your bed. Work the word into conversation during the day. Say the word, spell it and say it again to aid memory retention. • It's best to understand what the word means and how to use it before you do, but some like to live dangerously. • A "malapropism" is a misuse of words, especially when the confusion stems from two words sounding alike (for example, "reversible psychology" instead of "reverse psychology").
