But now, because of the nature of the English language, you can actually make your vocabulary grow even faster.Unlike most of the languages widely studied in the world, English has a vocabulary that is in several layers. The bottom layer is posed of the basic native English words that have always been part of the language. Then there is a mixed layer of words mostly from Greek and Latin. Some of these words came into English through French or Italian or Spanish but their origin was Greek or Latin. Then there is a more recent layer, mostly scientific or technical words intentionally made up from Greek and Latin elements. And mixed in the second and third layers are words from other languages spoken in countries throughout the world German, Chinese, Japanese, American Indian, Arabic, Persian, and many others.In all languages, words exist in set, in what can be thought of as word families. Sometimes, if you know the root form mon to the words in a family, you can make a good guess about the general meaning of many words in that family. So knowing just one root form of one word in a family may help you make your vocabulary bigger by leading you to the other members of the family.But this process won’t work very well with most native English words, that is, those that go back one thousand years or more in the language. Knowing the origin of a word will not help you the figure out its meaning today, for it says nothing of the meaning of the words that historically are in the same family. The ancestor of “deer”, for example, is “deor” in Old English, but the old meaning was any small animal, even a mouse or a rabbit. “Speed” once meant success or power, and “uncouth” meant simply unknown. You need to learn such words one by one.11. According to the passage, which of following is considered to be a good way to enlarge your vocabulary? A. Rememberin
