Easy Ways to Build Vocabulary
(2017·浙江高考语法填空改编)It's not all that hard to build an advanced and large vocabulary. Like many things in life, it's an ongoing process①, and the best part of the process is that there's enough room for improvement, which means you'll just keep getting better and better. Of course you have to work at it. You wouldn't think that a few months of exercise in your teens② would be enough for the rest of your life③,and that's also true for④ building your vocabulary—you have to keep at it daily, and pretty soon you will find that you have an excellent vocabulary.[来源:学科网ZXXK]
One of the effective ways to build vocabulary is to read good books. You need to really read at least one good book a week, preferably a classic. This isn't as hard as it sounds, and it is far better than any other method⑤ because you improve your vocabulary while reading an interesting piece of literature. Another nice thing is that you learn both new words and their use unconsciously⑥, meaning that you will tend to⑦ use the words learned this way in conversations almost automatically⑧.
