The Best Ways to Improve Your Vocabulary
Part 3
Read to your children
Parents and children can both benefit (получить пользу от) and improve vocabulary from reading bedtime stories snuggled under the covers. The words in many children’s books are often outside the realm of adults’ day-to-day discourse, so parents can learn more words just by reading to their children.
Read magazines
Don’t just flip through (пролистывать) your favorite magazine, really read it. That means don’t just look at the pictures; pay attention to the articles and photo captions. Magazines on topics you’re interested in like sports, interior decorating (отделка помещения), or health are filled with words you probably don’t think to use in your daily conversations. When you read the next issue, keep an eye out for the words you learned the month before. Chances are, you’ll remember what they mean this time.
