Easy Ways to Expand Your Vocabulary

Why expand your knowledge and use of words? 1., people will understand you more easily, and you will increase the concept that you are an intelligent person. Besides, learning new words is a fun activity.

Read, read, and read. The more you read — not only novels and literary works, but also magazines and newspapers — the more words you’ll be exposed to. 2., attempt to derive meaning from the context of the words as well as from looking up the definition in a dictionary.

Keep a dictionary handy. 3.. When you uncover a new word, look it up in the dictionary to get both its pronunciation and its meaning. Next, go to the dictionary and find similar words and phrases — and their opposites — and learn the slight differences among the words.

4.. Simply talking with other people can help you learn new words. Once you hear a new word, remember to take it down so that you can study it later — and then slowly add the new word to your vocabulary.

Learn a word a day. Using a calendar or website — or developing your own list of words to learn — is a great technique many people use to learn new words. 5..

A. Get involved in conversations

B. As you read and uncover new words

C. By using the tips outlined in this article

D. Use whatever versions you prefer

E. Because you’ll be able to communicate (speak and write) more clearly and precisely

F. Plus, keeping a journal of all your new words can provide motivation for learning even more words

G. This approach may be too rigid (死板的；僵硬的) for some people, so even if you do use this method, don't feel you must learn a new word every day

Study carefully and associate with people who are experts in the field you want to gain knowledge in.

The next best source of knowledge should be books.There are millions and millions of books in every language and on almost any topic imaginable.Whatever problem you are facing must have been faced by somebody else before，and its solution is likely to have been preserved in the form of a book.If you are serious about gaining knowledge about a topic，then read any book，magazine，article etc.You can lay your hands on the books related to that topic.Read as much as you can.

It is said that experience is a great teacher，so learn from your past experience and the experience of others.Learn from your and others’ past and present achievements as well as mistakes.

Experimenting with new things and observing new things can help you learn very quickly.

Ask a teacher to name the most annoying invention of recent years and they will often mention the mobile phone. Disturbed by the problems they create, many head teachers have ordered that pupils should keep their phones switched off at school. Others have told pupils to leave them at home.

However, education researchers at The University of Nottingham believe it is time that phone bans were reassessed, because mobile phones can be a powerful learning aid, they say. Dr Elizabeth Hartnell-Young and her colleagues have reached this conclusion after studying the consequences of allowing pupils in five secondary schools to use either their own mobile phones or the new generation of ‘smartphones’ in lessons.

During the nine-month experiment, 14- to 16-year-old pupils used the phones for a wide range of educational purposes, including creating short movies, setting homework reminders, recording a teacher reading a poem, and timing experiments with the phones’ stopwatches. The smartphones, which could be connected to the Internet, also allowed pupils to access revision websites, log into the school email system, or transfer (转存) electronic files between school and home.

The research involved 331 pupils in schools in Cambridgeshire, West Berkshire and Nottingham. “At the start of the study, even pupils were often surprised at the thought that mobile phones could be used for learning,” Dr Hartnell-Young said. “After their hands-on experience, almost all pupils said they had enjoyed the project and felt more inspired.”

Some teachers found that pupils who lacked confidence gained most from the project. However, they recognised that greater use of mobile phones in schools could cause problems.

1.We can infer from the first paragraph that ________________________________________________.

A. teachers are strongly against students owning mobile phones

B. mobile phones should be developed to meet students’ needs

C. students are free to use their mobile phones at school

A. all enjoyed the project very much

B. didn’t know what they were used for

C. didn’t fully realize the learning functions of mobile phones

D. were surprised that they were allowed to use mobile phones in schools

3.Who benefited most from the project?

A. Older pupils.　　 B. Pupils who were not confident.

C. Younger pupils.　　 D. Pupils who were confident.

4.The purpose of the text is to tell us that ________________________________________________.

A. mobile phones can actually help students learn

B. mobile phones begin to be widely used in schools

C. too much use of mobile phones in schools can cause problems

D. the mobile phone is considered the most annoying invention of recent years

Maybelle said she wouldn't be coming with me to the library. I asked why, and she said she could get all the short stories she wanted off the Internet. Saved walking all the way to the library, and putting up with my long chat on the way there, and on the way back. Maybelle is very direct like that, always has been.

"But, Maybelle, we've been walking to the library every' Monday for the last fifty years!"

She said," Why don't you get Internet'? We can send each other emails."

So I had to get Internet. I called the local high school. They said they'd send me a good student to tell me all about computers and such.

Evil thing, this Internet. Makes you lose old friends, forces you to learn new complex ideas, even if you're too old. But Maybelle said you have to be modern; otherwise, you're dead.

The kid came the next day. Tall skinny black kid, by tile name of Arsenius, said his work would cost me.

I said, "All right. As long as I get Internet."

"You need a computer, then you need to get hooked up," he said.

"Let's buy a computer and get hooked up, then."

"How much you want to spend?"

"Whatever it takes."

"How many rams you want?"

I wasn't going to show him my ignorance, so I said, "Whatever it takes."

"Let's go to the mall. You got a car?"

"In the garage."

When I opened the garage door, he gasped. Daddy's car is still there, a'57 Chevy. I never drive it. Walk everywhere.

I said," Let's walk. It's only a mile or so."

He said," Let's drive, or you will faint on me in this heat."

"Young man, I don't faint, never have. We're walking."

"I get paid by the hour," he said. "Walking will cost you a lot more. Also, you feel like carrying a computer a mile or so?"

1.What kind of person is Maybelle?

2.Why does the writer want to have Internet at his place?

3.Arsenius gives _________ reasons for driving to the mall.

In the movie Alice in Wonderland, Alice comes across a Cheshire cat and asks the cat which road she should take. The cat responds, “Well, that depends on where you’re trying to get to.” Alice replies, “I don’t know.” The cat responds, “Then any road will do.”

You see, knowing where you’re going increases your chances dramatically of getting there, and there is no better way of “GETTING THERE” than setting your goals for the upcoming year. Think of your goals as destinations and the action steps as your GPS guiding and directing you. If you are like many other people, tor years you have resisted the need to set goals and even laughed at the thought that setting goals and，even more importantly, committing them to writing have positive effects on your life However, a closer look might convince you that setting goals is a sensible thing to do.

In 1979, a class of Harvard MBA students was asked: Have you set clear, written goals for your future and made an action plan to accomplish them? The following will astonish you. Only 3 percent of the class had written goals and a plan in place, 13% just had goals, and an amazing 84% had no specific goals at all.

Ten years later the numbers of the class were interviewed once again and the following results will no doubt give the reason for our setting goals. The findings were that the 13% who had goals were earning, on average, twice as much as the 84% who had no goals at all. And the 3 percent who had clear, written goals with a plan to achieve them were achieving ten times as much as the entire 97% combined.

Goal setting will increase your chances of arriving successfully at your destination. Remember, always set SMART goals. Goals should be: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-bound!
