Good morning Bob... Oh hello Daniel
Hey Bob, I've been learning these words for two weeks, but I still find it difficult to
memorise them
so I'd like to ask for your advice on how to learn vocabulary more effectively
Let me take a look Daniel ... Sure
How did you find these words?
Well I've been reading passages in articles from different sources
including newspapers, magazines, and websites
I just picked the words randomly from those sources
Do you know how to use them?
Not really
but I've checked their meanings from the dictionary
Can you remember the meaning of each of them?
Look these words come from ten different sources, so they're going to be used in
different ways
How do you know they're common words that you need to learn?
Oh, I just picked the ones that I don't know
I suggest that you choose words that you want to learn from one source
That way, you can learn them in context
When you're reading there are some words that you can guess from the context but
there are other words that you really need to write down in groups so that
you can memorise them
But how can organise the words and phrases that I want to learn?
Well, you could classify them in alphabetical order
or, group them according to the part they play in a sentence
so, verbs, nouns, adjectives and so forth
you could group them by meaning, or by topic
or even by level of difficulty
Ahh, I see, thanks
I'll find out more about these words by checking them out in a dictionary ... That's a good idea
that way you can learn how to use the words correctly
let's have a look at the words you've learned next time
Sure, thanks a lot Bob
Hi Bob ... Hi
Thanks a lot for your advice
I've now learned quite a lot of words in different contexts; they are all in here
That's great, I can see you've grouped the words according to different contexts
Do you know how to use these words now?
Yes
I've checked the words in a dictionary to find out their word class
pronunciation, meaning, and how to use them in different situations
I've also put down some example sentence structures to help me remember
them better
now I understand how to use each of the words correctly
Very good
Don't forget to recycle the vocabulary too
Use the words you've learned as much as you can
Yeah, I'll try to use two words I've learned by reading, listening
speaking and writing about the same topic for a period of time ... Yes you'll
find that the same words keep coming up in similar contexts, so
that means you'll be more familiar with how to use them correctly
Thank you Bob
see you later ... Bye
