3.1 Build up vocabulary

　　As is mentioned above, vocabulary is vital in learning English. Therefore, the first thing we have to do is to build up adequate vocabulary. It is easier said than done. Numerous English words are all the time the biggest problem for English learners in China. How to solve the problem?

　　3.1.1 To solve the problem of new words

　　New words prevent students from reading fast. Some students don’t know how to do when they meet new words in reading. They always look up new words in a

　　dictionary to get the exact meaning. In fact, it lowers reading speed. It is difficult for students to read widely.

　　There are two kinds of new words in reading. One is the kind of words which don’t affect learners’ comprehension. Another is those that affect their reading. If the words that don’t affect your reading, let it be. For example, “a German told me that all over China they use Gourmet powder in their food. It will give you higher blood pressure’. We may know that gourmet means a kind of thing that can be eaten though not knowing its exact meaning. But it doesn’t matter. So, in reading, we should know it is unnecessary to look up every new word met in a passage. Or it will affect reading ability.

　　As for those that affect our comprehension, there are many ways to guess their meanings. You may find some hints in the context. For example, Context, some phrases, such as “means”, “refer to”, “ in other words”, “ that is to say” are all the hints.
