Hello everybody,

Today, I usually use this way to learn new vocabulary, so I am going to share it with you.

I know my method which has mistakes. If you have a better way to learn vocabulary, please comment below.

But if you like this way, let's share your story!

My method has three steps:

Step 1: 

- I looked up the new words on Cambridge dictionary ( note: I used English in Dictionary by Engish to English)

Step 2:

- I wrote all the meanings of new words accompanied by their examples in a notebook which is written only vocabularies.

For instance: My new word is SEVERE (adj) 

               + Meaning: - Causing very great pain, difficulty, worry, damage,...

                                  - Extreme or very difficult.

               +Example:  - In parts of Africa there is a severe food shortage. ( I highlighted this new word in the sentence)

Step 3: 

- I used my imagination to make a story that included as many new words as possible. 

Below is my imagination story: My story was about Lisa. She was being a teacher at UNICEF. 

The story of Lisa - PART 1

In 2010, Lisa launched an education project in Africa where she went to Shiba country which was threatened by civil war and severe weather. Fortunately, the Shiba government had signed the peace treaty that has article 5 said ensuring protect and support all of the education projects from UNICEF throughout the civil war

In 2011, Lisa and a group of teachers had an expedition to Mia village where was the remote village in the west of Shiba country for support and teaching the children. On the first day, Lisa and the teachers had a meeting with the sachem who in charge of the Mia village and his name is Suaba - Mr.Suaba. The relationship between Lisa and Mr.Suaba was firmly fastened after she had told about her project that integrated learning English with how to protect and improve the environment. The meeting was finished by a promise from Lisa that she and the teachers would guarantee to delicate her attempts to do the best for the villagers. Therefore, everyone overestimated her education project.
