“Vocabulary” means the words of a language. To learn vocabulary, you need to check four things.

| Pronunciation How do you pronunciation a word? Do you pronounce it the same way as you spell it? If so, you may pronounce it wrong. For example, the pronunciation of “ough” is different in each of these words: “through”, “bough” and “rough”. You also need to know where the stress(the strong sound) is in a word. |
| Meaning You need to keep in mind that words often have more than one meaning in English. Take the word “dust” for example. If you dust the bedroom, you are removing the dust. The first “dust” is a verb meaning “to clean”; the second “dust” is a noun meaning “the things being cleaned away”. |
| Use How do you use a word? D o you know if it is formal? Do you know what other words it can use with and when? An example is “ yours”. You can use it to show possession(拥有), as in “ This book is yours.” And you can also use it at the end of a less formal letter, e.g. “ Yours, Peter Brown.” At the end of a formal letter you can use it with “Sincerely”, though generally in America the use is “Sincerely yours,” and in the UK, it is “Yours sincerely”. |

Many people like to travel by plane, but I don’t like it because the airport is usually far from the city. You have to get there early and wait for hours for the plane to take off. You can’t open the windows. You can’t choose the food. Planes are fast, but it still takes hours to get out of the airport and into the city.
I like travelling by train. I think trains are safe. Railway stations are usually good in cities. When you are late for a train, you can catch another one. You can walk around in the train and open the window. You can see many interesting things on your way, though it takes a little more time.
I also like cars. You can start your journey whenever you want to, and you don’t need to get to a railway station or a bus stop. Also you can carry many things with you in a car. But sometimes there are too many cars on the road.
