Unit 13: Using over 300 of the most important words to improve your vocabulary.

First, a person would not try to use this document in just one day or even in a few weeks. Instead, this document is designed to be used over a period of time, depending on how quickly you want to progress, or as guided by a teacher. Moreover, there are two types of grammar: descriptive and prescriptive. On the one hand, you learn the rules for the use of grammar. On the other hand, you learn how grammar or parts of speech are used in a sentence. Therefore, with this exercise, you get both benefits. You first learn the meaning of the word; then, you can read or hear which part of speech the word belongs to. In addition, you are learning the word in context, which is the best way to remember any word.

Next, this unit should be completed over a few weeks (learning 25–40 words per week), and it should be done step-by-step. Consequently, you will learn to read, listen to, say, spell, understand the meaning, and use the words in sentences.

To begin, use the following method: see the word, read the word, listen to the word, and then say the word with the speaker. As a result, you will even improve your grammar because you will see, read, and say the words in the correct grammatical order.

If, however, you don’t know how to put a speaker on your computer or device, simply ask someone for help or do a word search for instructions on how to add it. Furthermore, I have made this as an e-reader, which reads the words for you so you can listen and read along.

Ideally, you should learn 25 words a week.

Then, you can begin with the word list, which includes the word, its part of speech, definition, and an example sentence. For example, the first word is:

The (article) – Used to specify a particular thing that is known or obvious. Example: The cat sat on the mat.

Of (preposition) – Expressing the relationship between a part and a whole. Example: The sleeve of the shirt was torn.

And (conjunction) – Used to connect words of the same part of speech. Example: She bought apples and oranges.

As you continue, you will encounter words such as A, To, In, Is, You, and That. In addition, the words It, He, Was, For, and On help form complete sentences. Moreover, you will learn how to combine words to express ideas effectively.

Next, while practicing, remember to use the correct grammar order and punctuation. Specifically, every sentence should contain a subject, usually a noun, followed by a predicate that contains a verb. Additionally, articles such as a, an, and the often appear before nouns. Finally, punctuation marks – periods, question marks, and exclamation marks – go at the end of the sentence.

Furthermore, as you read aloud, I will raise and lower my voice, and we will focus on word stress, chunks, phrases, and parts of sentences. Also, we need to pause at commas to understand the sentence structure. Thus, reading out loud will help you learn a lot and internalize the words.

Moreover, the most commonly used words you see in red are essential for everyday reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Consequently, mastering these words gives you a strong foundation in English.

Finally, I have supplied 320 words from my word list. Afterwards, I showed you how to create paragraphs using these words. Next, I want you to think of 5 different topics or themes to write about, and then write 70–100 words on each topic. Make sure, however, to use words from the above word list.

Later, I will continue to add more words to reach 650 words and, eventually, 1,000 words. Therefore, the themes or topics are meant to give you practice in using the words creatively in sentences and paragraphs.

A person would not try to use this document in one day or weeks. This document is to be used over a period you want to do it, or a teacher wants to use it. There are two types of grammar: descriptive and prescriptive. One you learn the rules for the use of the grammar. The other is just learning how the grammar or part of speech is used in the sentence. With this exercise you get both. You learn the meaning of the word, then you can read or hear what part of speech the word its. Plus, you are learning the word in context which is the best way to learn any word.

This unit needs to take part over a weeks (Learning 25-40 Words a Week) do it step-by-step.
Learn to read, listen to, say, spell, learning the meaning and how to use the words in sentences.
Use the following method. See the word, read the word, listening to the word, then say the word with the speaker. You will even improve your grammar because you will see, read, and say the words in the correct grammar order!
If you don’t’ know how to put a speaker on your computer or device just ask someone for help or do a word search for one and how to add it. Furthermore, I have made this as an e-reader which reads the words for you so you can listen and read along.
Ideally You Should Learn 25 Words a Week.
