Memorized words are soon forgotten from\u003cbr\u003e lack of use. Learners who make it a habit of reading English books, however, are able to\u003cbr\u003e retain some of the words they learn as they come across some of the same words, again and\u003cbr\u003e again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Even so, it is shortsighted to focus only on individual words. After all, words come in\u003cbr\u003e bundles, or collocations. Already, I have used the expression \"come across.\" If you become\u003cbr\u003e familiar with words that usually go together, you can sometimes predict what a speaker is\u003cbr\u003e going to say. This gives you tremendous advantage when you are taking an English test.\u003cbr\u003e A collocation, by the way, is defined by the Cambridge Dictionary as \"a word or phrase that\u003cbr\u003e is often used with another word or phrase, in a way that sounds correct to people who have\u003cbr\u003e spoken the language all their lives....\" While you should continue to build your vocabulary\u003cbr\u003e through extensive reading, you can give yourself additional practice in English speaking and\u003cbr\u003e writing by also paying attention to word clusters such as the ones offered in this book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese phrases have been collected through hundreds of hours of listening to radio shows, \u003cbr\u003e television broadcasts, podcasts, university lectures and interviews. Phrases have also been\u003cbr\u003e culled from newspaper and magazine articles, as well as contemporary books of both fiction\u003cbr\u003e and nonfiction.
