Usage and Collocations It is essential to understand how words are used in sentences and what other words they commonly collocate with. For example, the verb "acquire" is often followed by nouns like "knowledge", "skills", or "habits". We say "acquire knowledge" rather than "acquire information" in many cases, although both can be used depending on the context. Another example is the adjective "profound", which collocates well with nouns like "impact", "thought", or "understanding". Paying attention to these collocations and usage patterns allows me to use the words more accurately and naturally in my writing and speaking, making my communication more effective and fluent. Sentence Examples The notebook provides valuable sentence examples for each word, which greatly aids in understanding the context and usage. For the word "dilemma", the example sentence could be "She was in a dilemma whether to accept the job offer or continue her studies." This sentence shows how the word is used to describe a difficult situation where one has to make a choice between two equally unpleasant options. By studying these sentence examples, I can better grasp the nuances of the words and learn how to incorporate them into my own sentences. Memory Tips and Strategies To remember the words more effectively, I have developed some memory tips and strategies. One method is to create mental images or associations. For the word "precarious", which means unstable or dangerous, I might imagine a person walking on a tightrope, which is a precarious situation. Another strategy is to use the words in my daily conversations or writing as much as possible. This repetition helps to reinforce the memory and also gives me more confidence in using the words correctly.
