LEARNING VOCABULARYHere are some ideas of how you can learn new vocabulary.

What you needMake sure you have everything you need to help you learn English vocabulary.

• a vocabulary notebook and pens of two or three different colours.• a good learner’s dictionary – there may also be one online.• A good bilingual dictionary – ask your teacher for advice.• Small cards/ post-it notes can be useful.

You can write words on these and stick them on furniture/ things in the classroom to help you remember words.

What you need to doWriting down a new word

When you write a new word in yourvocabulary notebook you can includesome/all of the following information:

• what it means• the part of speech

(verb, noun, etc.)• the word in context – a phrase or

a sentence that shows how it isused.

• any grammatical information aboutthe word, e.g. the different formsof an irregular verb – go, wentgone, or dependent prepositions –agree with, give to.

• any information about how theword is pronounced – e.g.underline the stress – important,photographer or any silent letterse.g. climb (rhymes with time).

• drawings – some people find thesehelp them remember better thandefinitions or translations.

• other forms of the word e.g.nouns, adjectives, adverbs

4

GROW

verb – to get bigger

e.g. This city is growing very quickly.

verb formation: grow, grew, grown

NB: grow up (phrasal / multi-word verb)

means to become an adult

e.g. Children grow up too quickly these days.

Grow (rhymes with slow)

* * * *

USUAL

adjective - something that nearly always happens

e. g. It’s usual for the train to be late.

opposite – unusual

Adverb – usually

main stress usual

s is pronounced /Z / as in television

DESK

004-005 Learning:210x297 09/12/09 11:37 Pagina 4


Word families

You can increase your English vocabulary with the following affixes.

-er with verbs and nouns to make nouns. e.g. work worker (someone who works)teach teacher / drive driver / farm farmer

-ing with verbs to make nouns (activities).e.g. sail sailing / climb climbing / shop shopping / read reading

-ly with adjectives to make adverbs.e.g. usual usually, beautiful beautifully, nice nicely

un- with many adjectives and adverbs to makenegative forms. Note, sometimes you need adifferent prefix like im-, in- or dis-. Use yourdictionary to check e.g. happy unhappy / expensive inexpensive /possible impossible

Help yourself to learn words

Revise regularly: you need to keep checking that you can remember the words you learnt last week or lastmonth. It’s also easier to learn a few words at a time rather than a long list of words. So try to revise five orsix words from your vocabulary notebook every day.

Organise your vocabulary notebook:

Write words that are sometimesconfused e.g. factory / farm

Write the opposite meanings of wordse.g. beautiful, ugly / rich, poor

Write words that have a similar spellinge.g. It’s quite noisy / It’s very quiet

Write words that have a similar meaninge.g. suitcase / luggage

Write words that have more than onemeaninge.g. I like your watch / I’m watching TV

Finally read and listen to English as much as you canLook for words that you have learnt and see how they are used in advertisements, stories, TV programmes,websites, etc. This will help you remember them more easily and also to use them correctly.

Sania Mirza – India’s Tennis StarSania Mirza, India’s most famouswoman tennis player, was born inthe city of Mumbai but moved toHyderabad soon after. Sania startedplaying tennis at the age of six,when her mother took her to play inthe summer holidays. Sania’s mother decided she neededlessons but when Sania first met hertennis teacher he didn’t want to teach her because shewas too small. Then, after about a month, he told Sania’smother she was the best child player in the club.Sania first started playing in small tennis competitionswhen she was seven. But it was when she was twelve

that she had her first big success bywinning the under-14 and under-16Indian national championships. Itwas only after this that Sania firstbelieved that she could be the bestplayer in India.At this time, the most diff icultthing for Sania and her family wasnot how to win matches, but how

to find the money to pay for her lessons, hotels, tennisrackets, etc. Tennis is not a popular sport for women inIndia but Sania thinks there is nothing to stop moreIndian girls becoming international tennis stars likeher.
