When learning new vocabulary, don’t just memorize a list of words. 1 , try to make five
sentences using each new word. Then use the new word as often as you can the first day you learn it.
This way you will remember new words 2 longer.
Practising sounds, you know, is difficult-the “th” sound for example. Choose words that
3
“th” and repeat them over and over until you are comfortable with them. Let's try! This, that, those,
them, think, thought, through, thin….
Read, read, read-in English, of course! Reading is one of
4
ways to increase your vocabulary
and 5 your grammar in a natural and fun way. Be sure to choose topics or books you are interested
in.
When someone
6
in English, listen to the main point. If you
7
a word you don’t
understand, ignore
8
and go on listening. If you stop and think about the word, you will miss
9
the person is saying.
Always remember-practice 10

Kim Bogue, a keeper in California, worked overtime to save money for a trip to Thailand to
visit her family and friends. She saved over 900 dollars and was planning to buy a ticket but she
lost her purse with all her money and credit card.
Kim looked through the garbage and all the buildings where she worked but came up empty-
handed. She went home heartbroken. She believed that she had lost her money forever. While
Kim was at home, sad and depressed, a homeless man was searching through the garbage looking
for things to sell. As he was looking through a garbage bag, he found something wrapped in a
plastic bag.
The homeless man, who did not want to be identified, took the purse to Sherry Wesley,
because Sherry Wesley knew him from her volunteer work at a homeless shelter. The homeless
man came to Sherry Wesley with the wad of money and said, “ This probably belongs to
someone that you work with, can you find the owner?” Sherry Wesley works in one of the
building that Kim cleans and she knew Kim had lost her purse.
Kim was amazed when she heard the good news. “I couldn't believe it when they called
me,” she said. “He has a very big heart. If someone else had found the purse, the money
would be gone.” As a reward, Kim gave the man 100 dollars. The homeless man gave half of
the money to Sherry Wesley and asked her to donate it to charity for him.
