Today I tried a vocabulary strategy called using context clues. This strategy means I tried to understand the meaning of new words by reading the sentence around them instead of immediately using a dictionary.
While reading an article, I found some new words like “analyze,” “efficient,” and “complex.” By looking at how these words were used in sentences, I was able to guess their meanings. After that, I checked a dictionary to confirm, and I was mostly correct.
This strategy worked well for me because it helped me think more deeply and improved my understanding of the text. It also made me more confident in learning new words without depending too much on a dictionary.
Overall, I learned that using context clues is a useful and effective way to build vocabulary, and I will continue using this strategy in the future.
