fundamental role in getting not only the meaning but also the form, and
their relationship with the whole message.
To learn vocabulary, you can use one of the following strategies to skim or
scan the meaning of a word in specific texts or contexts.
Examples:
• Same word family and its derivate: In general they have the
same root, and its derivate which differentiates the meaning.
Examples:
Examples:
For example: The goldfish, the trout and the shark are all Fish, they are
related because they are aquatic.
Examples:
Sun / Son / /
Another example:
• Same lexical field: In the next example there are some words
connected to the idea or topic about Systems: PC´s, software, hardware,
monitor, download, security. It means all the words related with that
field.
Examples:
PC´s
Security Software
SYSTEMS
Download Hardware
Monitor

to get the meaning without using the dictionary, of course, If you know
the root´s meaning.
Example:

since most of them are used in certain contexts or situations. Therefore
to study and understand them, it is better to do it as soon as they arise
in the text, according to the topic. To get their specific meaning you can
use the www, to be sure about what of its equivalent can be applied for
that theme.

grammar, which summarize an idea briefly and they her transmit to all
