A recent university research project investigated the attitudes of postgraduate science students (1) ——the learning of English vocabulary. The results were urprising. I'll (2) ——three of them. hmGlGc,lf
firstly, most of the stcrdeaats think that (3)—— every word ill English has just one meaning. This is, of course:, completely (4) ——¬to the facts. A glance at any English dictionary will show this. The student will (5) ——find seven or eight meanings listed for (6) ——'simple' words. 5=I({=/>
Whv, then, have these students made such a mistake:' One reason irnay be that they're .ill (7) ——. students. Scientists try to use words ill their special subject which have one meaning, and one meaning only. Another reason., of course,could be the way in WhiCh these Student, Were They may have used vocabulary lists when they first learner! L:nglish.

equally mistaken. (11) ..,..... __~ ..~ .~ all the students think that every word in English has an exact (12) -._ ._ equivalent. Again, this is far from the trijth.

ill translation which we won't mention here. (:ertainly the idea of a one word for one word translation (15) _ ...~ _-._. is completely false. Translation machines, which tried to work on this (16} 1>rQ).eT
failed completely. A;Y~Hu4KPZ
The third result'of the investigation showed another (17) in the students' thinking. They believe that as soon as they know the meaning of a word, they're in a (18) ____ to use it correctly. This is untrue for any language but is perhaps particularly (19) -- for English. The student has to learn when to use a word as well as to know what it means. Some words in English mean almost the same but they can only be used in certain situations. P|@[D=y
What, then, is the best way to increase one's vocabulary? This can be answered in three words-observation, (20) -~. . and repetition. <b,WxR`
