VOCABULARY ADVICEThe first thing you need to remember for the learning of vocabulary is ourmethodology: STARTSee it, say it and check pronunciationTry it in a context (translate it if you need to)Apply it and use it in phrasesReview it and remember itTest it by using it in another context related to the examWhat you need to do is make sure you start building your vocabulary in alogical way.1. Start with your interests. You will use this vocabulary the mostfrequently and you need to know it well.2. Do not learn individual words. You should learn new vocabulary as shortphrases.
