to increase vocabulary

Dear students,hello
As I read your problems I have come to know that most of the students have the same problem that they are unable to speak english fluently.So to solve this problem you should have a rich vocabulary besides the basic knowledge of the grammar.everybody should find atleast 5 new words daily and use them in daily conversation and you will find that after using the words in sentences they will automatically fit in your mind.
Thank you

THANK YOU MAM.

From where we can find 5 new words ?
Please rpl
How should we use this words in daily life?

The best way is to build your own database of words. If you read a lot, you will come across many new words.

Please ensure that you do not start reading difficult articles straightaway. Even if you do read them, try reading small paragraphs and try to guess the meaning by reading the phrases that precede and follow the 'difficult' word.

When I was preparing for my MBA entrance exams, I used a book on words called 'All About Words: An Adult Approach To Vocabulary Building by Maxwell Nurnberg & Morris Rosenblum'. Other books on increasing word power are also available in the market but it is difficult to remember words if you read and move on without writing them down in your notebook.

We have been telling students at the centre that they should try to find synonyms of difficult words and words that are similar sounding. In other words, you have to relate the new words you have learnt to the words you already know. it is step by step process that requires patience.

Almost all of us know the meaning of problem but there are many other words that also refer to problem.

botheration, complication, crunch*, dilemma, disagreement, dispute, disputed point, doubt, headache*, hitch*, holy mess, hot potato, hot water*, issue, mess*, nut, obstacle, pickle*, predicament, quandary, scrape*, squeeze*, trouble, worriment

you can get all of these from a thesaurus but it is better if you yourself try to list words you already know and then find synonyms and antonyms.

Good morning SIR
this is Aditi

www.thesaurus.com
I visited this site n Sir I found it very helpful to find lots of synonymous and also increase my vocab also. If all of student in their free time should visit to this site, its really very helpful.

THERE R SOME MORE SITES FOR LEARNING ENGLISH
HERE IS THE LINK
http://www.englishathome.com/

Thanks, Pankaj, for sharing the URL of a site that you find helpful. One of you can start a new topic ‘My favourite English improvement website’. We can also start a topic in which a new word is put by someone and the next person tries to give its meaning as well as another word.

Aditi, you seem to be mixing up anonymous and synonym. Find more words ending in ‘nym’. Synonymous means having the same meaning. When we say “XYX is synonymous with PQR”, we mean that the two are very closely connected. ‘In India, the Tata Group is synonymous with Corporate Social Responsibilty

How many words do each one of you know which start with ‘syn’? Do not use a dictionary. Try to guess the meaning of ‘syn’ after you have listed some words.

The following are the ‘syn’ words I could recall with some difficulty. I am getting old and lazy but you should not find it tough to add more.

Synthesis- combining separate ideas. Sammishrun, Sanyojan
Syntax- the way that words and phrases are put together to form sentences
Synchronise- to (make) happen at same time
Syndicate- group which works together to achieve particular aim

What does ‘In sync’ mean?

syn:- together, same

Now let us try to list words starting with ‘sin’. Easier? Not really. We can list more words starting with ‘sin’ but cannot guess what the word root ‘sin’ means

Sincere- showing what you really think or feel; genuine; honest. Nishkapat, Sacchha
Sinister-seeming evil or dangerous. Amangal, Anarthkaari
Singer- person who sings
Singe- burn surface of something slightly, usually by mistake
Sinew- a band of tissue that joins muscle to bone
Sinecure- job that you are paid for even though it involves little or no work
