Once you have learned new words, how can you remember them? If you want to learn new words, you have to take a couple of things into consideration． What is your reason for wanting to improve your vocabulary—for a purpose, like the SAT, or for fun and general selfimprovement? If you have a goal, it is good to read about different approaches toward achieving the goal． For example, there are books specifically written with methods for increasing one’s vocabulary for SAT testtaking． Also, you can examine how you learn best, especially wordbased information． Some people need to use what they learn in order for it to stick—as in conversation and writing． Others succeed by taking quizzes． Still others are good at memorizing． We tend to remember words more easily when we read about them in meaningful context, when we see that they are useful and worth remembering , and also when they have been fully explained． Knowing how to use a word is just as important as knowing its meaning． Most wordoftheday offerings supply the definition as well as an example sentence or two． Studies have shown that a new word will stay in your vocabulary if it is regularly reinforced (強(qiáng)化 )through use and reading． Taking word quizzes is a fun way to spend a few minutes learning words． It is great to have a quiz book with you when you have to wait in places like a dentist’s office． Keeping a quiz book in the car and on the bedside table is good, too． 65． What is the best title for this passage?
