With its clear Cambridge-style structure, this is one of the best ESL vocabulary books available. It's nice to have on the shelf for refreshing particular topics in mind from time to time. But artificial, no-context vocabulary collections don't stay there long enough, no matter how beautiful they may look in the book. One better learns "live" vocabulary directly from fiction books, audio, video, TV, WWW, life... e.g., change your laptop/smartphone interface from your native language to English, and soon you'll have rich computer-related vocabulary installed directly into your brain. Easy and efficacious, ain't it?
این کتاب در افزایش دایره لغات و سازماندهی کلمات توی زیرموضوعات مختلف کمکتون میکنه. توصیه میکنم بر اساس زیرموضوع موردبحثش به همراه کتاب collocations in use استفاده بشه تا ماکزیمم تاثیر رو داشته باشه.
It is a good book to talk about how to memorize vocabulary. Before reading it, I usually recite native meaning by repeating word many times. However, the right way to study a new expression is feeling thier sense in the context.
