Read plenty of good books、 When you e across a new word, or a new meaning of an old word, stop and see if you can understand it from its context、 If you can't, and if you can manage without interrupting the thought of the book too much, look it up in a dictionary or ask somebody and then repeat its meaning to yourself a couple of times、 If you are really conscientious(认真得), write the word and its meaning in a personal vocabulary list — preferably using it in a sentence, or you can keep a special vocabulary notebook、 Go over the list from time to time、 Further, try to use a new word in writing or conversation a few times over the next several days、
Listen to good talks and be alert to new words you hear or to new meanings of words you already know、 Then treat them just as you treat the new words you read、
Learn and be alert to the parts of words: prefixes, suffixes['sʌfɪks]后缀 and roots、 Knowing them enables you to make intelligent guesses about the meaning of words、
