There are three important things to keep in mind when trying to learn new vocabulary.
First, connect new words to a story or a situation. This makes it easier to remember vocabulary than studying words from lists.
Second, be active, not passive. Make youself use new words.
Here are some ways to do that:
* When you find a new word or expression in a story, repeat the sentence and think of the situation connected to the new vocabulary. Write down then repeat in your head three to five more sentences that use the new vocabulary.
* Make your own short story and include several new words you want to remember. Each time you retell the story, you will review the new vocabulary in your mind.
* Make yourself explain the new word like you are a teacher. This is a great way to test how well you understand and can use the vocabulary. And if you have a study partner, you can explain the new vocabulary like you are a teacher!
Third, learn and relearn the new words frequently until they become your own words, not new words anymore.
The phrase “keep in mind” in the first paragraph means _____.
