Finding New Words
We learn new words by listening to and reading in English and using it every day. If you don't have many English speakers where you live, try watching videos or reading in English. As you listen and read, pay attention to the new words you find, then use vocabulary-building strategies to find their meaning. In this section, you will learn practical ways to build your vocabulary every day.

As we learned in a previous section of this unit, reading voraciously is one of the best ways to improve our English and learn new words. One way to do this is by extensive reading. Learn more about extensive reading from this Japanese college student.
You can start practicing extensive reading with this book. (This is optional for extra practice - you do not have to do this.)
