What do I do to improve my vocabulary skills?

  1. I would study vocabulary words when I read daily. I enjoy reading stories, so I will learn new vocabulary from the stories.
  2. I would look up the meaning of words that I don't know from the context before I consult the dictionary. When I read a story I can guess the meaning of the words that I don't know. If I still can't get the meaning from the context, I will check in the dictionary.
  3. I would learn that vocabulary by studying its collocation. If the vocabulary is a noun, I will learn its collocated adjective and adverb. If the vocabulary is a verb , I will also learn its collocated adverb and noun.
  4. I would use the vocabulary in my speaking and writing. I would use the vocabulary word to speak to someone or on a writing project.
  5. I would never give up even I may feel bored. Sometimes I feel like English is just a waste of time, but I would never give up learning new vocablary words.
