Building a Good Vocabulary
Building a good vocabulary doesn’t mean memorizing long lists of difficult words. It doesn’t mean spending long hours reading a dictionary, either. Your everyday activities present plenty of opportunities to increase your word power. The benefits of having the “right” words at your command are obvious. People who can express themselves with precision and grace have a clear advantage over those who can’t. They can count on themselves to speak confidently and write with self-assurance. In competitive situations at school or on the job, language skills are an enormous asset. In personal and social situations, the ability to communicate your needs, thoughts, and feelings can make your relationships stronger and your life less stressful. As you complete each lesson, try to integrate as many words as you can into your speech and writing. While no amount of practice can promise perfection, practice does guarantee improvement! And remember that the best word to use is not necessarily long or fancy; it’s the one that conveys the exact meaning you intend. Careful attention as you work your way through learning is a wise investment in your future as a “great communicator”!
