III. 词汇（Page 178――Page 205）
Words are important in English learning. If you don’t enlarge your vocabulary, it’s difficult to get improvement. When we learn English words, we should try to use both Chinese meaning and English meaning. And also, we should learn new words in sentences or passages instead of in Glossary. When you meet a new word, context and some of your memory can help you to be familiar with it soon.
