Increase your vocabulary

Welcome back to my blog...
Topic for this post is "Increase your vocabulary", and I am going to give you some tips for learning new words. 

The most important think that you can do to increase your vocabulary is READ! Read a lot. Anything and everything. But, you should read what you are interested in. And also WRITE, write a lot. Use a words that you learned and don't forget them. Ever time you learn new word, write it in notebook, in sentence. Make sure that sentence clearly shows that you know the meaning of the word. 
DON'T LIMIT YOURSELF TO ONE WORD! When you learn a new word, make sure that you learned different forms of the same word. For example: You have adjective beautiful, but also you can learn adverb beautifully, verb beautify and noun beauty. And, you have four new words in your vocabulary. 
LISTEN! Listen to any spoken English that you can. We all heard for TED.COM. It's a good site, people give talks and lectures about different topics. There, you can find a lot interesting topics and certainly you will find something for you. Listen carefully. Anytime you hear a word that you don't recognize, write it down. If you don't know the spelling, write it phonetically. Write the word just like it sound and then, if you have access to a transcript (all the words that were spoken written down) check the transcript and find your word. If you don't have a transcript go to a dictionary. I recommend you English-English version of dictionary, This way you are learning more words. If you don't know meaning of the one word in dictionary, maybe you will try to find meaning of that word in it's definition, and you will increase your vocabulary for two more words. 

That's my advice, if you want to know more words.
I hope you like it.
To the next writing...
