Many language learners do not try to learn all new words they come across. They usually underline or highlight only the words
they want to learn. This helps them remember important words. There are also different ways of learning the same number of
words. For example, if you try to learn ten words in two days, you can do so in two ways. You can learn the first five words on
the first day, and then learn the other five the next day. However, because revision is necessary, vou can learn all the ten words
the first day and revise them the next day. This helps you practice the words more times. Language learners should try different
ways of learning words so as to find out the best way for themselves. Ask yourself the question: How should I learn words?

Dear Donna,
Thanks for your letter. I'm happy to hear that you had a nice Mother’s Day.
I received my second semester report last month. I got good grades for Geography, Physics and Math, but my History and
English results were not very good. My former teacher told me that I should improve English and History. I am spending more

Many language learners do not try to learn all new words they come across. They usually underline or highlight only the words
they want to learn. This helps them remember important words. There are also different ways of learning the same number of
words. For example, if you try to learn ten words in two days, you can do so in two ways. You can learn the first five words on
the first day, and then learn the other five the next day. However, because revision is necessary, vou can learn all the ten words
the first day and revise them the next day. This helps you practice the words more times. Language learners should try different
ways of learning words so as to find out the best way for themselves. Ask yourself the question: How should I learn words?

Dear Donna,
Thanks for your letter. I'm happy to hear that you had a nice Mother’s Day.
I received my second semester report last month. I got good grades for Geography, Physics and Math, but my History and
