oday, I tried the vocabulary strategy “use new words in a sentence right away.” I chose a few new words that I saw in an English story, and I wrote my own simple sentences using them. This strategy worked well for me because it helped me remember the words faster. I learned new words such as glimmer, relieved, over, under, ditch, and storm. After I wrote sentences, I could understand the words better and use them in speaking and writing.
Yes, it worked for me. I think making sentences helped the meanings stay in my memory.
