1 SPEAKING AND LISTENING

a What do you think are some good ways to learn new vocabulary in English? Talk about the
ideas in photo a-e or your own ideas.

I think that the best way to learn a new vocabulary is to write new words in your notebook
because you can practice them anytime. Also, you can create cards with pictures about the word
which you want to learn, with this method you can exercise memory spaced and you can
remember all words which you studied.

In my opinion If you practice a new vocabulary with podcasts, you will learn words fast. Also, If you
practice speaking with the new vocabulary, you will understand the meaning of them and you will
use them in a real conversation.

I think if you read a book, you will learn how to use words in context.

Gilberto

translation too.

No, he doesn’t, he thinks that no system will work because he needs to see things written down
and he’s very lazy to do cards.
