If you want to learn English well, enlarging your vocabulary is important. Here are some helpful ways to help you to have a larger vocabulary.
A good dictionary should be up-to-date and easy to understand. Make sure the definitions (定义) are written in clear English. I strongly recommend Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English as there is good coverage of spoken and written English, British and American English, as well as clear example sentences.
Make notes of new words. But before you write them down on you notebook, you should look them up in the dictionary and make sure you are aware of any grammatical information.When you write down the new word in your notebook, try to include an example sentence in English.
Organize your notes into themes. Some people find it very helpful to do so. For example, you can have one page containing words which have something to do with houses, while another page containing words relating to jobs, and so on.
The next time you have spare time, skip through your notebook. Choose a page where you have already stored a number of words and expressions, cover the page and try to remember what you wrote. Then look at the page and see how many words you have remembered.
When you find a new word, check to see if you can use it in other ways. English is a flexible language—nouns, verbs and adjectives often share the same root.
A. Review the words in your notebook.
B. Have good English dictionaries.
C. Read books that contain some new words.
D. Look up new words and phrases in your dictionary.
E. For example, love, lovely, beloved and loveless all share one root.
F. For example, if you are looking up a verb, check to see if it can be used in a passive form.
G. So rather than have a list of words without any obvious connection, you can divide your notes into themes.
Four Ways to Give Truly Meaningful Gifts
Buying someone you love a gift that expresses your truest feelings isn't always easy. But when you get it right, the joy they show is worth it. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}
Listen up.
While you may think it's a great idea to surprise someone by giving them something you think is meaningful, it's best to get them exactly what they have told you. For example, you heard friends say they wanted the newest bike but you bought them a gym membership instead. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} So get them what they've specially asked for.

In the spirit of showing love, we might go big. However, we may not be thinking of what really makes the person happy. You might think buying your father the latest TV is perfect, but then when you get it home, it lights up the living room like a stadium and is totally wrong for the space. So think smart.
Keep it open.
Many of us may consider giving cash impersonal（没人情味的）. But this may save you some concern. The receiver can be allowed to choose whatever they want. In a recent survey of over 7,000 Black Friday shoppers, 39 percent said the receiver they were shopping for was “picky（挑剔）”. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}
Create an experience.
Visit websites where you can get the latest tickets for a play, buy a surf lesson, or even something unexpected like a flight lesson. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} For example, if your kids are into NASCAR, just imagine the look on their faces when you score them a ride at a race car driving school. So give them a time that they will remember to heart.
A. Ignore the size. B. Go for something big. C. Well, that was the wrong move. D .If possible, cut down the cost of the gifts. E. These are things that can create a lasting memory. F. Here's how to discover a gift your receiver will love. G. So save yourself the second guess and give cash instead. |
