    You, of course, know that you will never add vcry rapidly to your vocabulary by merely coming  across
 words, or by reading or by  talking. You must have a plan.
    Here is one way to get ahead with words in everyday  life.  It's the simplest thing in the world.
    Buy a small pocket notebook. When you read a newspaper, a magazine, or a book, or listen to TV or
 radio, and come upon a strange word, enter it in your notebook. Then look it up in the dictionary. If you
find that it's a word too difficult to understand or a highly technical mterm, just pass it by.  But if it sounds
like a word that will be helpful to you. take possession of it, make it your own personal possession.  Say
it aloud many times. Study its exact meaning, and note its root. Be sure, also, to copy from the dictionary
the example sentence in which it is used, if such is given.  Then write your own sentence in line with the
example in the dictionary.

     When you are learning a language, listening, speaking and writing are important,   but reading can  also
be very helpful. When you read,  you can not only learn some new words, but also learn how to use them. When you read a passage, it gives you a good example for writing. Here are some good reading tips.
     Firstly, try to read at the right level (水平). Read something that you can understand.  If it is too  hard
for you, it is not interesting.
     Secondly, try to understand the new words.  If there are four or five new words on a page,  don't  use
a dictionary.  Instead, try to guess their meanings as you read.   Mark (作标记) them with a pencil. Then
look them up in a dictionary when you finish reading,   and write them in your own vocabulary book.  Try
to remember them.
     Thirdly, try to read for a short time once a day. Fifteen minutes or half an hour every day is better than
two hours every Sunday.   For example,   you can read before you go to bed,   or after you get up  or  at
lunchtime.
     Lastly, read something that interests you. Choose a newspaper, a book or a magazine about a subject
that you like. It will be easy enough for you to understand.
