         Building your vocabulary is like building a strong base brick by brick. However, building vocabulary involves more than justlearning words. Here are some right ways to learn words.
         First, you should use the words you learn more often. The best way to build vocabulary is to be an active learner. Here are thesteps to be one: to learn ten new words every day, to write them down in a diary, and to use them in conversation. When you use asmany new words as you can in real life, you can easily memorize them, and they will become part of your knowledge.
         Second, it is also good to learn words in small groups. By doing this, you can master a language in a more systematic way.
 There aren’t any shortcuts to learn words. Remember that making your vocabulary larger needs time and practice in right ways. Forexample, some roots of English words come from Latin or Greek. To learn these words, it’s better to know how they are formed first.The more you know a word, the better you can memorize and use it.
         Third, you should develop a strong feeling which always tells you it is worth doing. Reading out the words or writing themdown may sometimes be boring to you, so try to practice them with the ways you like.
