I know that most of us knew this method already, but I wanted to give it an emphasis since we were going to start paragraph writing soon.
Words are the primary tool in writing a sentence, and sentences are the primary tool in writing a paragraph.What I am trying to say is that, we need to have a wide range of vocabulary in order to express the idea that we are trying to convey. And one good technique that my teacher told me, back in my high school days, is that, we need to learn at least a word or two each day. Another one is by listing down and searching word meanings that are unfamiliar to us whenever we encounter them through movies or normal conversations.These techniques are the best exercise, aside from reading, to fill up our word banks.
I hope you would try them if you haven't yet. Remember that there is no lost in trying. Good luck and God bless us all.
I agree with you. There is no problem with using this method. It may sound low-level, but it really is helpful and conducive for learning new words.
ReplyDeleteThis method may seem very basic but it is still one of the best, if not the best, method in filling up our word banks. Thank you for reminding.
ReplyDeleteI agree with JC. This method looks simple but gives a big impact to our vocabulary.
ReplyDeleteI agree. We can increase our vocabulary level by doing those stuff. I actually practice that technique- listing down the unfamiliar words then search it in the dictionary.
ReplyDeleteI tried it before, learning new words everyday; but eventually, I get tired doing it. I think, reading still the best way in widening one's vocabulary.
