I decided to use context clues to figure out the meaning of unfamiliar words while reading.As I read a short article, I highlighted words I didn’t know and looked at the sentences around them to guess their meanings before checking a dictionary.Yes! I was able to understand the gist of most words without immediately using a dictionary, which made reading faster and more engaging. The new words I learned is
Inadvertently – unintentionally
-
Stoic – not showing pain or emotion
-
Dilapidated – run-down or in ruins
