Your teacher wants to know about your strategies to improve your vocabulary. Describe all your current study skills and those which you would like more help with. Write 100-150 words. | Words rule the language. To improve my vocabulary I have a method in 4 points: - I use regularly graded readers. With them, I can learn new words and I can understand without too much difficulties. I have tried to read "The grapes of wrath" of Steinbeck, but it's too difficult. Even in French, it would be difficult for me, I think! - I also do some "narrow reading" with 3 or 4 magazine articles on the same topic: it helps me with collocations. - I practice loud reading in order to memorize the words: it works well with me. - I watch the news on English TV: BBC and France 24 English. Even if it's yet not easy, I know it's a good way to learn useful English words. And with my work in EnglishTown school, I hope I'll be able to graduate before the end of the year! |
