Whiz Kid Vocabulary and Usage
by Sumita Roy

Communicating clearly and effectively is of prime importance to progress. This set of user-friendly books prepares you to use English as an effective tool of communication. It will help you to listen with understanding, speak confidently, read skilfully and write expressively, making you a master of the language.

Vocabulary is the number of words known by a person. This includes the words which are understood, and used for speaking and writing the language. Obviously, usage is the test of a person’s perfection with words. It is useless to have a vocabulary of 5,000 words if we are unable to use them in specific contexts.

Any exercise in improving our vocabulary should take into account all the associated skills: spelling, meaning, pronunciation, collocation and usage. A large vocabulary is a great asset because each language situation is different from the other. We can never know in advance what kind of words and what range of vocabulary we will need for any specific context.

Vocabulary cannot be acquired by merely learning by rote. Practising words repeatedly, using the most suitable word for a particular context, to have the ability to express one idea in different ways are all methods to build up an extensive vocabulary.
