　　You of course know that you will never add very rapidly to your vocabulary by merely coming across words, or by reading, or by talking. You must have a plan.

　　Here is one way to get ahead with words in everyday life. It’s the simplest thing in the world.

　　Buy a small pocket notebook. When you read a newspaper, a magazine, or a book, or listen to TV or the radio, and come upon a strange word, enter it in your notebook. Then look it up in the dictionary. If you find that it’s a word too difficult to understand or a highly technical term, just pass it by. But if it sounds like a word that will be helpful to you, take possession of it, make it your own personal possession. Say it aloud many times. Study its exact meaning, note its root. Be sure, also, to copy from the dictionary the example sentence in which it is used, if such is given. Then write our own sentence in line with the examle in the dictionary.

　　All this will take only a few minutes or so, but it is necessary to make the practice a daily habit. Then the list in your notebook will grow and grow, as will your command(掌握)of English.
