LLJ 3

Within this week, I used the dictionary as a strategy to improve my vocabulary skill. I chose to use this strategy because I wanted to increase my vocabulary takings and the dictionary is the main way for the language. I used Oxford dictionary, specifically the yellow section in the middle of the book since it was the first thing that attracted me when I opened the book. It consist of sixteen pages and each page shows some of the vocabulary of different subjects such as flowers, birds, vegetables, reptiles, homes, musical instruments, …etc. I know that it looks very simple, but I realized that I don’t know many simple words that almost every English learner should know them because my concentration is always on the high-level words. Ferry, optician, violin, stool, rug, courgette which means zucchini in US are some examples of the simple words that I learned in this section. I found it useful and enjoyable since there are multiple pictures of the words which show their meanings clearly and that helps to memorize the words easier.
