7 . In English, we have a saying that goes, “Use it or lose it.” It means that if you do not continue to use a skill, you might lose the ability to do so.

We can say this about language learning, including learning new words.     1    

Our reader Banin has a question today. Here is the question: how can I improve my vocabulary?

It is a great question! The answer will help many English learners. Here are four things you can do.

Read, read, read

Read a lot! Look for new stories, websites, magazines and books on subjects that you enjoy. While reading, try to guess the meanings of new words from their context.     2     If there are television shows or films that you love in English, watch them with English subtitles to learn new words and hear how we say them.

Write about it

But, don’t just read. Write! A great way to practice what you read is to write about it.     3     Another thing you can write about is what you did today. If you spent time with a friend or family member, went to an event, had a delicious meal or did something else, write about it!

Learn word forms

    4     When you learn a new word, learn its other forms. For example, the word “sleepy” is an adjective. But it has noun, verb and adverb forms. You can make a word form chart in a notebook or wireless device and write a sentence example for each form.

    5    

Another powerful memory tool is word association: use your imagination to create mental images linked to new words. For example, when I say “tasty”, what food image do you see in your mind? Keep that food image in your mind and always mentally connect it to the word “tasty”. Then, the next time you try to remember the word “tasty”, the mental image will appear.

A．Use word families.

B．Use word association.

C．Here’s another great technique.

D．If you do not use the new words often, you might forget them.

E．Then, you can check the meanings in a paper dictionary or online.

F．For example, if you read a web story about the best fitness apps of 2019, write about it.

G．Writing can be a great way of properly learning the kind of vocabulary you need to describe your own life and interests.

8 . 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

When Zhang Lingshan was a child, she would watch the Chinese period drama Palace on television, attracted by the characters’ ancient clothing. She didn’t know what these beautiful clothes     1     (call)—only that they were from some     2     (distance) past. “They looked fairy-like, dreamy,” she said. “I was     3     (complete) drawn by the beauty of these clothes, and then eventually came to understand the culture of Hanfu, and I liked it more and more.”

Now aged nineteen and     4     (live) in Beijing, Zhang is     5     member of China’s growing “hanfu movement”—a renaissance (复兴) of the ancient clothing traditionally worn by ethnic-majority Han Chinese before the Qing dynasty. Tight-knit Hanfu communities and university clubs often meet for themed activities. Zhang and her friends sometimes visit places with ancient architecture, like Beijing’s Forbidden City,     6     emperors once lived, to take     7    (photo) in costume and post them on social media. They have more than 20,000 fans who often ask them     8     more pictures.

Nowadays, Hanfu is seen as a way     9     (celebrate) Chinese culture and improve national self-esteem. In the past few years, Hanfu clubs and social media platforms     10     (help) to bring the Han clothing back under the spotlight. “It’s the confidence of the younger people, the confidence of the country,” said Christine Tsui, a fashion columnist and researcher in Shanghai.
