their English vocabulary The most common reason for needing to increase or broaden vocabulary is lack of experience with reading Not surprisingly, thoughtful reading is key to developing a broader vocabulary Read as much as you possibly can read—anything that interests you, whether magazine or novel, textbook or junk mail, a newspaper or a cereal box, e-mail or Web pages—read When you read, watch for unfamiliar words or phrases or words used in unfamiliar ways Try to determine their meaning by the other information you are given in the sentence or paragraph Reread a paragraph and state it in your own words Start by thinking, "This paragraph says that…" or "This probably means…." Re-read If you find reading a textbook somewhat difficult, read a few pages and then go back and read them again Many times your knowledge of the topic will increase as you read further, so that when you re-read earlier material you understand it more easily and clearly Using a dictionary to check the meaning of a word is worth the time Keep a dictionary handy Look up meanings of words that you come across in your reading and then use that meaning to re-state the information in a way that is clearer to you Looking up words just for fun is not necessarily a useful exercise because you not see or hear the terms used in a sentence or paragraph—that is, "in context." Your understanding and your memory are much better when you see a term in a specific context One of the important ways that this book will help you increase your vocabulary is to teach you ways to think about what you read and about words and their relationships In that way, Vocabulary Basics for Business is a tool that supports and facilitates—that is, makes easier—the vocabulary development work you through your reading Vocabulary Basics for Business approaches vocabulary development in two ways: through strategies, or plans, for building vocabulary, and through reading, understanding, and using specific words Your primary goal in "Section 1: Clues from Context" is to learn to determine word meanings from surrounding information You will use your common sense to ask questions about what you read that will help you decide what it means You will notice and interpret "signals" that may help you understand a new term The signals include definitions, comparisons and examples, opposites and contrasts, and cause and effect The approaches are not difficult, but they are often overlooked The strategy you will learn in "Section 2: Word Families" is to examine how words are related, how they compare with one another and how they differ, how their meanings are similar and what they have in common You will contrast words and groups of words in a lesson that uses words related to communication In a lesson that presents words related to sizes and amounts, you will examine relationships among words that share a common idea; that is, you will put words "in order." In a third lesson in this section, you will examine shades of meaning among words that share a concept or idea In this case, you will compare and use words about importance Taken together, the three lessons in Section will help you learn to compare and contrast words, categorize them, and put them in order as strategies for thinking about new words and becoming more familiar with them These lessons depart from some of the traditional approaches to vocabulary building, so have fun with them file://C:\Documents and Settings\VioleTTa\Local Settings\Temp\~hh1285.htm 21.01.2010 Section 5: Words for Work A10: Page 86 of 100 (10) simplify Chapter 19 A1: (1) efficient A2: (2) contribution A3: (3) assistant A4: (4) shipper A5: (5) cashier A6: (6) donor A7: (7) accomplishment A8: (8) correspondence A9: (9) Bostonian A10: (10) grantee Chapter 21 A1: (1) b A2: (2) d A3: (3) b A4: (4) a A5: (5) c A6: (6) a file://C:\Documents and Settings\VioleTTa\Local Settings\Temp\~hhB366.htm 21.01.2010 Section 5: Words for Work A7: (7) d A8: (8) b A1: (1) appraisal A2: (2) affect A3: (3) excess A4: (4) alluring A5: (5) except A6: (6) computer A7: (7) except A8: (8) effect A1: (1) access A2: (2) illusion A3: (3) accept A4: (4) effect A5: (5) allusion A6: (6) except A7: (7) excess A8: (8) affect Page 87 of 100 Chapter 22 file://C:\Documents and Settings\VioleTTa\Local Settings\Temp\~hhB366.htm 21.01.2010 Section 5: Words for Work A1: (1) council A2: (2) capitol A3: (3) antidote A4: (4) disburse A5: (5) anecdote A6: (6) capital A7: (7) counsel A8: (8) dispersed A1: (1) counsel A2: (2) disburse A3: (3) capital A4: (4) anecdote A5: (5) counsel A6: (6) council A7: (7) capitol A8: (8) dispersed A1: (1) antidote A2: (2) disburse A3: (3) capitol file://C:\Documents and Settings\VioleTTa\Local Settings\Temp\~hhB366.htm Page 88 of 100 21.01.2010 Section 5: Words for Work A4: (4) anecdote A5: (5) counsel A6: (6) council A7: (7) capital A8: (8) disperse Page 89 of 100 Chapter 23 A1: (1) discrete A2: (2) uninterested A3: (3) elicit A4: (4) eminent A5: (5) imminent A6: (6) discreet A7: (7) disinterested A8: (8) illicit A1: (1) draw out A2: (2) prominent A3: (3) diplomatic A4: (4) fair A5: (5) unlawful file://C:\Documents and Settings\VioleTTa\Local Settings\Temp\~hhB366.htm 21.01.2010 Section 5: Words for Work A6: (6) about to happen A7: (7) separate A8: (8) bored A1: (1) uninterested A2: (2) eminent A3: (3) elicit A4: (4) discrete A5: (5) disinterested A6: (6) illicit A7: (7) discreet A8: (8) imminent Page 90 of 100 Chapter 24 A1: (1) c A2: (2) b A3: (3) a A4: (4) d A5: (5) a A6: (6) c A7: (7) c file://C:\Documents and Settings\VioleTTa\Local Settings\Temp\~hhB366.htm 21.01.2010 Section 5: Words for Work A8: (8) b A1: (1) benefit A2: (2) required A3: (3) be ahead A4: (4) continue A5: (5) main A6: (6) rule A7: (7) permanent A8: (8) paper A1: (1) stationary A2: (2) proceed A3: (3) precede A4: (4) perquisite A5: (5) stationery A6: (6) principle A7: (7) principal A8: (8) prerequisite Page 91 of 100 Chapter 26 file://C:\Documents and Settings\VioleTTa\Local Settings\Temp\~hhB366.htm 21.01.2010 Section 5: Words for Work A1: (1) c A2: (2) d A3: (3) c A4: (4) a A5: (5) c A6: (6) d A7: (7) c A8: (8) c A1: (1) retention A2: (2) initiative A3: (3) personnel A4: (4) salary A5: (5) race A6: (6) salary A7: (7) neat A8: (8) discriminate Page 92 of 100 Chapter 27 A1: (1) retail A2: (2) features and benefits file://C:\Documents and Settings\VioleTTa\Local Settings\Temp\~hhB366.htm 21.01.2010 Section 5: Words for Work A3: (3) consultative selling A4: (4) sales collaterals A5: (5) wholesale A6: (6) prospecting A7: (7) territories A8: (8) incentive A9: (9) closing A10: (10) prospect A1: (1) product A2: (2) physician A3: (3) customer A4: (4) manufacturer A5: (5) telemarketing A6: (6) cents A7: (7) sales promotion A8: (8) follow A9: (9) closing A10: A1: Page 93 of 100 (10) territory (1) fitness progress chart file://C:\Documents and Settings\VioleTTa\Local Settings\Temp\~hhB366.htm 21.01.2010 Section 5: Words for Work A2: (2) manufacturer's wholesale prices A3: (3) 50% off retail; probably A4: (4) yoga tape, dance tapes, nutrition tape, aerobics steps diagram A5: (5) easy to understand, easy to follow, eat whatever you like Page 94 of 100 Chapter 28 A1: (1) segment A2: (2) research A3: (3) branding A4: (4) competitors A5: (5) demographics A6: (6) differentiation A1: (1) sell A2: (2) product features A3: (3) company name A4: (4) democracy A5: (5) partner A1: (1) Math Crunch and Math Master A2: (2) parents whose children need help with their math or who want to learn more or practice math file://C:\Documents and Settings\VioleTTa\Local Settings\Temp\~hhB366.htm 21.01.2010 Section 5: Words for Work A3: (3) Numbers On!
