Vocabulary-Building Strategies  

(Unit 1, page 13; Use after Checkpoint)

Creating a personal  glossary

As you enter  higher  levels of  English study ,  developing a broad,   rich vocabulary becomes an

Important goal .  Creating your own glossary in a notebook devoted  to new vocabulary will

help.  After  you have studied new material ,  select new words you  feel  will  be  the most useful  

for  you.  Add  these words  to your  personal  glossary .   

Practice.   Look back over the unit. Choose eight new words that you haven’t mastered yet, but would like to

add to your personal glossary. Write them below. For each word, write the meaning, part of speech, and an

example sentence. Note the pronunciation if helpful. Use a dictionary as needed. 

cynical adj. unwilling to believe that people have good, honest, or sincere reasons for doing  

something: A pessimist is more cynical and believes life will always be difficult and painful.

Idea.  Buy a small pocket notebook for your personal glossary. Carry it with you so you can review vocabulary

at any time. Remember to select and add new words from each new unit to your notebook.
