Language learners learn words in different ways Some learners make a list and put into it the meanings of new words in their mother tongue, and try to learn them by heart However, others do not Instead, they write one or two example sentences with each new word in order to remember how to use the word in the right way In order to remember words better, some learners even write each word and its use on a small piece of paper and stick it somewhere in their house so as to learn it at any time
Trang 2Many language learners do not try to learn all new words they come across They usually underline or highlight only the words they want to learn This helps them remember important words
