| Reading helps to enlarge someone's vocabulary a lot. The last book I read gave me 123 new words. I'm very happy to store them in my active vocabulary. |

| Ten days ago was the last day of school and my pupils had no books and exercise-books with them. At first I didn't know what to do. Suddenly an idea came to my mind. I wrote all the letters of the \English Alphabet on the blackboard and told them to write all the words they know beginning with the letters of the alphabet.I told them these words are their active vocabulary. You know the result was better than I expected. Two of my students wrote 500 words with the first six letters (A,B,C,D,E,F). The others did well too. They promised to finish it at home. I was so happy to see their enthusiasm.I am sure many of them will write more than 1000 words.We mustn't forget that they have only two English lessons a week. |

Do I need to record those words not to forget them? |

| You are most welcome! If you want to know how many active words do you remember try this game. You choose a long word, let's take Celebration and with the letters of this word make up new words, for example: table,late, rate, cite, nice, rat, bat, ton, note, it, at, lion, real, brain etc. I hope you'll like it. It's a good exercise for learning English. |
