Model 1 A middle-aged professor said that his wife was too extravagant, because no matter how much he give her for the household expenses, she always ran short. In this sentence, the meaning of the word “extravagant” can be easily guessed.

　　Model 2 Prometheus stayed chained to the lock for many years. Then at last the mighty. Hercules came forth and broke the bonds-but that is another of the wonderful stories of the Greeks. In this paragraph, the words “stayed chained” are the hint, so you can guess that “bonds” means.

　　It is easier to explain difficult words by examples. Students can guess the meaning of new words by using examples. The following words are often used in comparison. They are but, while, whatever, yet, otherwise etc. According to these words, student can guess the meaning easily.

　　Besides the ways mentioned above, word-formation is also a good one to guess meanings of new words. As we know, many English words are composed of roots with different prefixes or suffixes. For example, cover - recover – recoverable- irrecoverable –irrecoverably. Provided that students learn a little about roots, prefixes or suffixes, it is a bit easier to guess new words. Synthesis means two words become one word. If they know two words respectively, they can guess the complex word. For example, dryland is composed of dry and land. It means “drought place”. Some complex words have special meanings such as “green-house”. It refers to the house in which plants grow but not one with green color covering it. In English, there is no need to change the morphology of. Noun and verb can be transformed from each other. Adjective can be transformed into verb and noun.
