501 Vocabulary Questions - English-Learners

xi

4. Review, review, review.After you learn a set of words, remember
   to review those words regularly. If you simply keep moving forward
   with new words without stopping to review everything you have
   already learned, much of your effort will be in vain. Repetition is the
   key to mastery, especially with vocabulary. The more you review the
   words and their meanings and the more you use them, the more
   quickly and permanently they will become part of your vocabulary.

You can use this book to review as often as you like. Review the word list

periodically, and give yourself the opportunity to answer each question

more than once. Instead of writing in this book, write all of your answers

on a separate piece of paper. If you prefer to write in the book, mark your

answers lightly in pencil so that you can erase your answers and use the 501

questions for review a few months or years down the road.

Congratulations on taking these very important steps toward building a

better vocabulary. Enjoy!
