Although this skill can help you remember words, how can you learn vocabulary so that you can use the words? Plan your vocabulary learning by choosing what to remember. Think about how you choose words to learn. Do you try to learn all the new words you find in a text? Do you think of your listener when you choose vocabulary? Will the person listening to you be able to understand this word or phrase? Heres an example. We have some words for weather here. All the phrases mean the same thing: Its raining cats and dogs；its pouring with rain；its raining stair rods；there is torrential rain；the rain is terrible. Now which ones are the best for you to remember? Well,“Its raining cats and dogs” is a nice expressionits very funny and so it is easy to rememberbut many people wouldnt understand you if you said this. Even in England, people dont usually say this. If youre thinking of talking to different peopleand not just people from Englandperhaps its better to say “torrential rain” or “The rain is terrible” because they are easier for other people to understand. English has too many words for you to learn all of them, so you need to decide which words you want or need to learn. Think about the context(语境) or sentences with the words. Read the words when you see them, and try to use them.36 . Whats the passage mainly about?AListening to music.BSpeaking English.CLearning vocabulary.DAsking for advice.37 .
