Hopefully you learnt many new words here and will remember them so that you can use them at a later date. It is perhaps a good idea for you to buy an A-Z notebook in which you record new words – then you should review them and revise them so that you can re-use them when necessary.

It is SO important for you to build up your vocabulary.

You can collect words in alphabetical order or you can collect them according to what word class they belong to or you can collect them just because words mean something to you!

It is also a good idea to start collecting quotations that appeal to you. Collecting jokes can also be fun and is an amusing way of building your vocabulary.
