It was written to help you to improve your English vocabulary It will help you to learn not only the meanings of words but also how they are used You can use this book either with a teacher or for self-study How is the book organised? The book has 100 two-page units In most units, the left-hand page explains the words and expressions to be studied in that unit Where appropriate, it gives information about how the words are used as well as their meaning The right-hand page checks that you have understood the information on the left-hand page by giving you a series of exercises practising what you have just learnt Occasionally the right-hand page will also teach you some more new words There is a key at the back of the book The key does not always simply give you one right answer It sometimes also comments on the answers and will help you learn more about the words studied in the unit There is an index at the back of the book This lists all the words and phrases covered in the book and refers you to the units where these words or phrases are discussed The index also tells you how difficult and unusual words are pronounced It uses the International Phonetic Alphabet to this and the symbols you need to know are listed at the beginning of the index How should I use this book? The book is divided into a number of sections Complete the seven introductory units first These units not only teach you some useful new vocabulary but they also help you with useful techniques for vocabulary learning in general After completing those units, you might want t o work straight through the book or you might prefer t o d o the units in any order that suits you W h a t else I need in order to work with this book? You need some kind of vocabulary notebook or file where you can write down the new words you are learning (See Unit for advice on how to d o this.) You also need to have access to a couple of good dictionaries This book selects the words that are most important for you to learn at your level and it gives you the most important information about those words but you will sometimes need to refer to a dictionary as well for extra information about meaning and usage Firstly, you need an English-English dictionary for foreign learners Good ones are The Cambridge International Dictionary of English, the Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English, the Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary and the Collins Cobuild English Language Dictionary, for example Secondly, you will also find a good bilingual dictionary useful Ask a teacher to recommend a good bilingual dictionary for you (See Unit for advice on using your dictionaries.) English Vocabulary in Use Learning vocabulary - general advice What you need to learn? How many words are there in English? At least: a ) 10,000 b) 100,000 c) 250,000 d) 500,000 Winston Churchill was famous for his particularly large vocabulary How many words did he use in his writing? a ) 10,000 b) 60,000 c) 100,000 d) 120,000 How many words does the average native English speaker use in hislher everyday speech? a ) 2,500 b) 5,000 c) 7,500 d) 10,000 How many words make up 45% of everything written in English? a) 50 b) 250 c) 1,000 d) 2,500 T o sum up, there are many words you don't need at all and there are other words that you simply need to understand when you read or hear them Finally, there are words which you need to be able to use yourself Clearly you need to spend most time learning this last group In the text below mark the words you'd like to be able to use English vocabulary has a remarkable range, flexibility and adaptability Thanks to the periods of contact with foreign languages and its readiness to coin new words out of old elements, English seems to have far more words in its core vocabulary than other languages For example, alongside kingly (from Anglo-Saxon) we find royal (from French) and regal (from Latin) There are many such sets of words which add greatly to our opportunities to express subtle shades of meaning at various levels of style - * You probably marked many words that you would like to be able to use Unless you are studying linguistics, however, you probably need only to understand, rather than to use, the verb 'coin' as used in the context above What does knowing a new word mean? It is not enough lust to know the meaning of a word You also need to know: a ) what words it is usually associated with b) whether it has any particular grammatical characteristics c) how it is pronounced Try to learn new words not in isolation but in phrases Write down adjectives together with nouns they are often associated with and vice versa, e.g royal family; rich vocabulary Write down verbs with the structure and nouns associated with them, e.g to add to our knowledge of the subject; to express an opinion Write down nouns in phrases, e.g in contact with; a train set; shades of opinion Write down words with their prepositions, e.g at a high level; thanks to your help Note any grammatical characteristics of the words you are studying For example, note when a verb is irregular and when a noun is uncountable or is only used in the plural Make a note of any special pronunciation problems with the words you're learning - , English Vocabulary in Use How could you record the following? a ) chilly b) dissuade c) king d ) up to the ears e) independent f) get married What would you record beside the following words? a ) scissors b) weather c) teach d) advice e) lose f) trousers What might you note beside the following words? a ) comb b) catastrophe c) photograph/photographer Can you learn just by reading or listening to English? You will certainly help yourself to learn English vocabulary not only by studying with this book but also by reading and listening to English Give each of the items on the lists below a mark from to describing how important this way of learning vocabulary could be for you personally Example: newspapers newspapers TV (cable subtitled) cinema magazines video radio (e.g BBC World Service) academic or professional literature fiction simplified readers (with or without cassettes) music or other cassettes talking to native speakers W h a t should you when you come across new words? When you are reading something in English, don't look up every new word or expression or you will soon get fedVup.Only look upsomething that is ;eally important for understanding the text When you have finished reading, look back at what you have read and then perhaps look up some extra words and write down new expressions that interest you Similarly when you listen to English don't panic when you hear some words or expressions that you don't know Keep listening and the overall meaning will often become clear When you read or listen to English it is sometimes possible to guess the meaning of a word you don't know before you look up or ask its meaning Decide first what part of speech the word is and then look for clues in its context or form Before you read the text below, check whether you know what the underlined words mean A tortoise is a shelled reptile famed for its slowness and lonaevitv The Giant Tortoise o f the Galapagos may attain over 1.5 metres in length and have a lifespan o f m o r e than 150 years Smaller tortoises f r o m Southern Europe and N o r t h Africa make popular pets They need t o be tended carefully i n cool climates and must have a w a r m place in which they can hibernate * Which of the marked words can you perhaps guess from the context or from the way the word is formed? Guess and then check whether you were correct by using a dictionary Some words are impossible to guess from context or the structure of the word In such cases, ask someone or go to a dictionary for help How are you going to plan your vocabulary learning? How many words and expressions you intend to learn each week? b) 10 C ) 15 d ) more Chan 15 a) Where and when are you going to learn them? a ) on your way to school or work b) before dinner c) in bed d) other How often are you going to revise your work? b) once a month a ) once a week c) before a test d ) once a year English Vocabulary in Use Learning vocabulary - aids to learning Help yourself to learn by learning associated words together Learn words with associated meanings together Learning words together that are associated in meaning is a popular and useful way of organising your vocabulary study Complete this network for the word CAT Add as many other bubbles as you like If possible, compare your network with those done by other students Add any of their ideas that you like to your network Learn words with a grammatical association together Here are some groups of words, each of which has a grammatical connection Can you see what the connection is? What other words could you add to these groups? c) information furniture food a ) child tooth ox b) cut split burst Learn together words based on the same root Can you add any words or expressions to these two groups? a ) price priceless overpriced b) handy single-handed give me a hand Pictures and diagrams can help you learn Here are some ways in which pictures might help you to remember
