Vocabulary has the power to enhance your thinking. It is the foundation of your thinking.
To increase your vocabulary power, you must read. You will learn vocabulary naturally if you read. Learning vocabulary is no longer boring because it happens naturally. You will also enjoy the process as you know its impact on your thinking skills.
Learn the vocabulary that come across when you read, also read with a great interest and sustain such interest with your curiosity. Check the meaning of the vocabulary from the context before you consult your dictionary, let it retain in your mind without much effort. Otherwise, it will kill your interest and enjoyment of the reading.
Your target is to learn at least five new 'terms' each week, and learn their strung-up or collocated words. This helps you learn ways to use the terms in your speaking and writing. Try not to give up half way! It is not good to give yourself excuses not to read. There is always something for you to read.
The problem sometimes arises if learning becomes overly serious or the atmosphere becomes stiff. If this happens, create yourself some space to drive out the stiffness. You may get yourself a short break for some drink or a cup of coffee.
To conclude, it is necessary to grasp the foundation material, i.e. the brick of vocabulary to enhance your thinking power. Your vocabulary is the base of your thinking. The more vocabulary words you have the smarter person you become! Start your journey of learning vocabulary, work on at least five vocabulary words a week!
