Vocabulary

Here is a good online dictionary for students of English: [|www.LDOCEonline.com] It has the definition, examples, word class, synonyms, and related topics.

Students need to increase their vocabulary. It's a difficult task. To help with this, you have the General Service Word List (white book) and the word lists for each unit at the back of the student book. Language research shows that students need to know the meaning, pronunciation, spelling, word class (adj/noun), synonyms and collocations. (Just translating into your first language is NOT enough) You also need to be able to explain a word if somebody doesn't understand you.
 * **What does it mean to KNOW a word**?

Please write ideas here.
 * What is the best way for you to learn new words**?
 * In my opinion, i think that we need to make a sentence with the new vocab, it may help us to remember those words easily, ** Not ** only understand the meaning of the words. (said Matthew)

Please complete the following online survey. It is a quick way to find out how many words you know from unit 2 of the student book. __@http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/PRDD3G5 __ Thanks, Nathan.
