second, those 6,000 words are not from a dictionary. you can’t pick up a dictionary and try to memorize thme from A-Z. those words shoud be tested in real TEOFL or IELTS test. currently we have those words for TOEFL. you can memorize them hereVocabulary words for TOEFL reading. for IELTS, we don’t have them yet, because IELTS is a little bit new, but we will put wrods for IELTS too in the near future.

third, when you memorize words, try to memorize words as much as possible in one day. i give you an example, if you memorize just 50 words a day, basically we forget at least 40% of the words at the second day, so we just know about 30 new words good. but if we memorize 500 words a day, if we just memorize 20% of them, we know 100 new words. and you need to “repeat ” those words second day.

you may ask that it is a big job try to memorize 500 words a day. yes , it is. but we have a way to deal with it. first ,don’t memorize the meaning of the words by “English”, use your own language, this will be much faster. second, don’t try to memorize all the meaning of the word, just the “main meaning” of the word. what is the “main meaning” of the word ? the “synonym” of the word .

some of them don’t want to memorize words and try to “guess” the meaning of the word in the sentence. this is not good.”guess” the words will not guarantee 100% correct. and test is a competition, if you guess, but others don’t , you know what the results of the test will be
