How do you learn new words?
To improve your English it is important to learn new
words. To remember new words it is important to be organised. Putting words
into categories according to subject or word type can help you to find the
words again, and memorize them through word association.
Try to put these words into categories and then add
more words to each category.
You can do this in a list form or in a more visual
way.
Let's make an example with the subject of food.
For food we can think of four sub categories -
ingredients, methods of food preparation, adjectives to describe food and
kitchen equipment.
Use the menu on Page 19 and 20 of this document to
find examples of different ingredients and methods of preparation and add more.
Here are some adjectives to describe the taste of food
with a quiz.
On this website you can find lots of words for actions
and tools in kitchen.
For the PET exam there is are lists of vocabulary that
you should know. You can find them here.
For FCE, there is no list, but the following books can
help you to increase your vocabulary in some common areas.
