As you know, memorizing the new words of different languages is not easy as we think. When I was young I can learn all the new things but when I adult I can't learn as much I can.


 This is because I was not study anymore and forgot about what I learnt. This become my biggest mistake and problem in learning new things like memorizing new vocabularies. So I was so disappointed and depressed.But I learnt about Vocabulary strategies I have the glimmer of the hope.

I have learnt very useful strategies:

(1) Content Clues

Content clues; when we don't know new meanings of new vocabularies we can know the meanings by look content clues. Content clues strategy include L.E.A.D.S .

L - logic or general

E - Examples

A - Antonym 

D - Definition 

S - Synonym 

(2)Word Families 

In word families; we learnt about prefixes and suffixes. It's very smart ideas for me. And then , we learnt word families which structure with noun, verb, adjectives and adverbs. When we learn new words we need to note word families of this.

In this lesson I have learnt many new words. I will describe some new words:

(1) Cantankerous  (adj)

     Cantankerously

(2) Wrench (n) can use as verb

(3) grievance (n)

       grievous(adj)

     grievously (adv)

(4) lethargic (adj)

      lethargy (n)

      lethally (adj)
