Talk about it

Think about the words you wanted to know more about in the reading above.

• How many did you write down? 
• Do you know the meaning of the words? Can you guess? 
• How did you decide which were important?
• Do you use your dictionary to look up words you don't know? Sometimes looking up all the words you don’t know can be overwhelming. Instead choose just a few important words to look up.
• Do you use a monolingual (English-English) dictionary or do you translate the words into your language? 

• Most teachers say that it's better to use a monolingual (English-English) dictionary because it will help you to grow your vocabulary more quickly than translation.
  • Try using Longmans Dictionary of Contemporary English or the Oxford Learner’s Dictionary to look up the important words you want to know.
  • Use Youglish to listen to the words or phrases in context. Listen and repeat.
