I last talked in an article awhile ago about making your very own personalized “dictionary “. Now I am not talking about inventing new words, what I am talking about is having your very own word reference. It can be a notebook, a small pad of paper or even your computer, as long as it is something that you can use whenever you encounter a difficult word.
When you are on to writing, you experience a lot of new words that might help to catch your reader’s attention. The least you would do is to gather those words that are very unfamiliar to you and record it in your own dictionary notebook. Get its synonyms so that you will easily identify those words the time you will use them to your future articles or when you hear those words again.
Also, when you wanted to learn for yourself like studying a word or words everyday is fine. It’s a better thing to do this so that you can enhance yourself more and have it stored in your personalized dictionary.
Another situation is when you are fun of reading a lot of books or magazines. For sure you will see several words that you don’t even know the meaning.
When you do, you can write it down, check the dictionary or the computer and write down the meaning. So that the next time you see that same word, you now have reference in case you forgot the meaning.
A small notebook is usually advisable as it is something that you can put inside your pocket and carry all around with you. Have it handy whenever you are reading a book or having an English language class.
Take note of new words that you have learned that day and then take the time to research on how to use it in a sentence, its synonyms, antonyms and etc. This information will be very valuable once you start working on your very first article. Or if you don’t have anything to do and you have a lot of spare time, you can pass the time by working on your personalized dictionary.
Your own dictionary is like a diary where you noted down all the words that you’ve researched and studied and by time it will serve as your reference whenever go and whatever you do. This will greatly help you to enhance yourself even more especially in communicating with other people, writing or public speaking.
If you have a computer or laptop, spend some time researching about words and sentence construction and then note them down in your notebook. It is very easy since you can search engines like Google and others.
You can also use it to improve your grammar skills by checking the grammar checker every time you finish making a sentence with the use of your personalized dictionary.
