Key Word Index 171 175 What The TOEle (Test of English for International Communication) test measures the English proficiency of people working in international business or planning to use English to communicate with others~ Although the test does not C'nL::i""!1'I""~lhJ test specialized vocabulary, the items on the exam are in specialized contexts This book will provide you with a basis to understand these specialized contexts that are often used on the TOEle test Each chapter covers a particular context that has appeared on the TOEle test The new words taught in each chapter are not specialized words These words are more what is called general vocabulary They can be used in many contexts However, these new words are used in a specialized context Understanding these contexts and the words used in these contexts will help you improve your score on the TOEle exam How to Use Book This book could also be titled 50 Days to a More Powerful Vocabulary There are 50 lessons Every day, you can study one lesson Every day you can learn 12 new words In 50 days, you can learn 600 new words-words that will help you understand English better And the better you understand English, the higher your TOEIC score will be You can sit down and in 30 minutes finish a lesson But that is not the best way To learn a new word, you must use it over and over Try to spread your studying out over the whole day Do a little bit whenever you have some free time The 12 new words are used over and over and over in this lesson Studying these words throughout the day will help you learn them and never forget them Start in the morning and look over the 12 new words and their definitions Repeat them out loud During the morning, read over the conversations If you can, say the conversations out loud The more ways you use a word (listening, speaking, reading, and writing), the better the chance you will remember it In the afternoon, the exercises In the evening, the very last exercise The last exercise is like a mini-test It will tell you if you completely understood the meaning of the word and how to use it in a sentence Every day, another lesson At the end of the week, the Word Review I am sure you will answer every question correctly Most of the new words you learn in one lesson will be used again in another lesson We recycle words just as we recycle paper If you forget a meaning of a word, look up the word in the Word Index at the back of the book That will tell you in which lesson you can find a definition and the pronunciation Strategies to Improve Your The English language consists of more than 250,000 words, far more than most other languages-far more than we can include in this book Here are some strategies that will help you remember words that you come across either in this book or in English books or magazines To learn a new word, of course, you first have to run across it Therefore, you must read in English as much as you can The best way to improve your vocabulary is to read routinely The more you read, the more words you will encounter The more words you run across, the more you will learn Once you have gotten into the habit of reading, you can systematically build your vocabulary by doing five things: Analyze word parts Recognize grammatical forms Recognize word families Make your own personal dictionary Keep a daily reading log v My Personal Dictionary New word Original sentence Definition My sentence Word forms in sentences Word families in sentences ...
