Applying Vocabulary in Everyday Life

Words Around Us

Vocabulary isn’t just for tests—it helps us communicate in school, at home, and with friends. Knowing the right word can help you explain your ideas, tell stories, and even win arguments!

Tips for Real-World Practice

  • Use new words in your conversations.
  • Write stories, emails, or social posts using advanced vocabulary.
  • Listen for interesting words on TV, in movies, or in podcasts.

Why It Matters

The more words you know, the more confident you’ll feel in every area of life.

Examples

  • Using 'reluctant' instead of 'not wanting' when telling a story.

  • Describing a meal as 'scrumptious' instead of just 'good.'
