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.

This is an example with words about the city.
What other words do you know?

Another good way of learning new words is to describe a picture. To describe what you see in a picture use the phrases There is / There are or There isn't / There aren't.

See the first two pages of this document to practise.
