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 mterm, just pass it by. But if it sounds

the example sentence in which it is used, if such is given. Then write your own sentence in line with the
example in the dictionary.
