Vocabulary Strategy I Tried: Using Context Clues

Today, I decided to use context clues as my vocabulary strategy. Whenever I came across a new word while reading an online article, I tried to guess its meaning based on the surrounding sentences before checking the dictionary.

Did it work?

Yes, it really helped! I realized that I can often figure out the meaning of a word just by looking at how it’s used in a sentence. After checking the dictionary, my guesses were mostly correct, which made me more confident in understanding new words while reading.

New Words I Learned :

Resilient – able to recover quickly from difficulties.


Meticulous – showing great attention to detail.


Ambiguous – having more than one possible meaning.
