Ways to Improve Vocabulary in Just One Day
The average American has a vocabulary in the tens of thousands. Try these tips to make sure yours builds up.
Watch Movies
"If you see the movie version of your favorite book, you're likely to have a deeper understanding and knowledge of the words in it," says Neuman, professor of Childhood and Literacy Education at New York University. "Seeing and reading something on the same topic is really important."
Read Magazines
If you want to improve your vocabulary,don't just flip through your favorite magazine, really read it.
Listen to How Words Sound
Many people won't remember tricky words unless they come across them frequently. But if you hear a word that you think sounds interesting, you become word-conscious(有词汇意识) and start using it yourself.
Join a Book Club
"Book clubs are a wonderful strategy to learn new words," says Neuman. Not only will it force you to set aside time in your day to read, but it's also a good way to discover books you might not normally be drawn to.
Listen to the Radio
Radio talk shows and podcasts can expose you to topics you may not be familiar with. You can pick up many new words just by listening.
Pay Attention to Your Surroundings
Next time you walk down a busy street or take a walk in the park, try to describe what you're seeing as much as possible inside your head.
Read,Read,Read
Even if you don't stop to look up every single unfamiliar word, chances are you can improve your vocabulary simply by figuring out(想出) their meaning based on the context.
