accurately and effectively one should have a very good vocabulary.

The more number of words you know
the better will be your ability to communicate.

The best way to improve your
vocabulary is to practice extensive reading and listening.

Consult a dictionary and note the
pronunciation, meaning and usage of the word or phrase help us to increase the
language skill.
·
The only way you can add new words
to your active vocabulary is by using them in your own sentences while speaking
and writing.

Whenever you look up a new word in
the dictionary, uses that word along with the sentence while you speaking and
writing.
·
By using that new vocabulary,
while speaking helps you to remember that word, even though you learn plenty of
words.

When you consult a dictionary to
check a word, you should go beyond the pronunciation and meaning of the word.

make an effort to find the words for a heart specialist, a bone specialist, a
skin specialist, a child specialist, a cancer specialist and so on.
