Learning means skill that improves comprehension and communication fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While looking up the the word in a dictionary for its accurate meaning is the best possible way, doing so is not always possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is sometimes possible to \u2018guess\u2019 the meaning of a new word from the context in which it *- is used and from its composition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Going through glossaries helps to a great extent in mastering this aspect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the Intermediate Public Examinations words for this question are usually picked up from the prescribed pieces. Hence, noting down the meanings of important words from the prescribed lessons will help the student score maximum possible marks allotted for this question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Improving Vocabulary (word power) can be done in innumerable ways. These many various ways are easy to practise and enjoyable as one follows them. Some of them are presented here with one or more examples each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1) From your regular reading, (Textbooks or general books) select five words a day that you do not clearly understand. Note them in a book, find out the meanings, take tips to use them in your own sentences from a good dictionary and start using those words in your speech or writing. Following this technique every day is very useful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2) Try to guess the meanings of words from the context. But be sure to check whether your guess is correct or not.
Ex :
a) I saw a woman carrying a pitcher on her head and when she reached her home, she put down the pitcher. I saw water to its brims in that pitcher.
pitcher = a pot, a vessel, a container \u2026\u2026\u2026\u2026.. you are right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
b) Likhitha noticed her ten-month-old daughter was not closing her eyes even when she applied soap on her face. So, Likhitha took her baby to an oculist, who declared that the baby lost her power of vision and she was blind.
Oculist: guess. Yes, absolutely right: an ophthalmologist, an eye-doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3) Study words with the help of their roots, parts, prefixes, suffixes, etc.
theo = god; logy = a systematic study
theology = a systematic study of god
zoo = animals; l0gy = study; zoology = study of animals
phi! = love; biblio = books; bibliophile = one who loves books
cide = kill or killing agent; or killing
pest = minute creatures; pesticide = that which kills pests<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4) Study words in groups like :
a) Synonyms : words with similar (NOT THE SAME) meanings and belonging to the same parts of speech.
i) beautiful, handsome, cute, charming, pretty, attractive
ii) intelligent, brilliant, sharp, smart, bright, clever<\/p>\n\n\n\n
b) Antonyms : words that have meanings opposite to one another. Like synonyms, any two antonyms should belong to the same part of speech.
i) good \u00d7 bad
ii) small \u00d7 big
iii) active \u00d7 inactive; passive
iv) encourage \u00d7 discourage
v) bright \u00d7 dark; dull
vi) slow \u00d7 fast<\/p>\n\n\n\n
c) Homonyms : words with the same spelling; the same pronunciation but with different meanings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
d) Homophones : words with different spellings and meanings but with the same pronunciation :
1 \u2013 eye; son \u2013 sun; some \u2013 sum; sight \u2013 cite \u2013 site; see \u2013 sea; seen \u2013 scene<\/p>\n\n\n\n
e) Homographs : words with the same spellings but with different pronunciation and meanings :
minute (\u0c2e\u0c3f\u0c28\u0c3f\u0c1f\u0c4d) = \u0c28\u0c3f\u0c2e\u0c41\u0c37\u0c2e\u0c41
minute (\u0c2e\u0c48\u0c28\u0c4d\u0c2f\u0c42\u0c1f\u0c4d) = \u0c05\u0c24\u0c3f \u0c1a\u0c3f\u0c28\u0c4d\u0c28
live (v) (\u0c32\u0c3f\u0c35\u0c4d) = \u0c28\u0c3f\u0c35\u0c38\u0c3f\u0c02\u0c1a\u0c41
live (adj) (\u0c32\u0c48\u0c35\u0c4d) = \u0c38\u0c1c\u0c40\u0c35; \u0c2a\u0c4d\u0c30\u0c24\u0c15\u0c4d\u0c37\u0c4d\u0c2f
And there are many more play-way methods to enrich one\u2019s vocabulary in an entertaining way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Special Note : Make proper use of the sections WORD STUDY and WORD GAMES in the activities part, given after lessons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Match the following words in Column A with their meanings in Column B?Two sides of life?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Note <\/strong>: Go through the section \u201cMEANINGS AND EXPLANATIONS\u201d given at the end of all the fifteen lessons. It helps you score 28 Marks in the Public Examination. That also helps in improving your language skills.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Learning means skill that improves comprehension and communication fast.
