Grow Your Vocabulary by Learning Root (词根) Words
English is called one of the most difficult languages for non-native speakers. One reason is that English has so many rules and almost as many exceptions of those rules. Sometimes, this leaves learners confused (困惑的). Not all words can be pronounced by their spelling. And, maybe the worst thing of all is that there are many idioms, or expressions in English. That is why there are many funny mistakes resulting from the misuse of idioms.
A root word is the most basic form of a word. Root words can help you to break down large, new words into smaller units to discover their meanings. As a result, by learning 20 or 30 root words, you can enlarge your English vocabulary to include hundreds of new words.
A root can be any part of a word that carries meaning: the beginning, middle or end prefixes (前缀), bases, and suffixes (后缀) are types of roots. The prefix appears at the beginning of a word, the base in the middle and the suffix at the end. One simple method is to first look at a base word and then look for familiar prefixes and suffixes that go with that base. For example, the word “construct” is a verb that means “to build”. The prefix “con-” means “together” or “with”. So, “construct” means “to put things together to build or create something”.
A. Another reason is related to the English pronunciation.
B. You can say we use idioms like they're going out of style.
C. The second difficulty lies in the spelling of the English words.
D. Having a good knowledge of grammar is also useful for English learners.
E. Building vocabulary through root words is quite useful for English learners.
F. Learning just one root word can help you understand several words in English.
G. However, it's comforting to know learning root words can help English learners.
