The way in which we communicate with others can be greatly improved by building a better vocabulary. In our personal life，we communicate and share experiences with others. However, how well we do it depends on(取决于)our ability to express ourselves through spoken and written language. Luckily，increasing(增加)our word power can make us own the skills we need to communicate better with others and can also help us get better results in our study.
When you see a new word，whether through reading or hearing someone say the word，just be ready to take out your dictionary and look it up-learn about the word and anything that relates(与…相关)to it. If you understand the word, you’ll hopefully remember it well.
Meanwhile, you’d better write down words to learn. You can go through the dictionary，magazine and newspaper or even take down the unknown words you hear. Try to revi

ew them every day-look at the words and speak them out loudly. Copy the words over and over again，along with their meanings，and you will surprisingly remember themn in no time.
You can also do word searches，crossword puzzles or other word games. Playing these games，you are more likely to come across new words, and when you are caught in new words, study them. The more words you have in your brain’s word bank，the better you will become at these word games. You will be remembering，learning and having fun，too.
Finally, reading is also believed to be an excellent way to learn new words and build up your vocabulary. Read things you are interested in，because in this way，you are less likely to become bored. But dont skip over(忽略) those words you don’t know. Instead, you should remember and use them in your own daily conversations. Use them more, and you’ll surely have a better chance of remembering them.
