Always capitalize "English" and all other proper nouns.
Include a space after each sentence.
Start every sentence with a capital letter.

Hi Kumar, welcome to the forum.
Since you are on the subject of vocabulary, I think your use of the words 'convocation',''superior' and 'notification' are not quite appropriate.
A convocation is a graduation ceremony.
You refer to your superior only in a workplace, not in a forum like this.
Notification is a bit too formal.

Thanks for the comments.
There is no need to write a new post just to say "Thanks". It makes us think there is new information or a follow-up question and we spend time opening the thread. Simply click on the "Thank" button at the bottom left-hand corner of any post you find helpful.

***** NOT A TEACHER *****


Hello, Kumar:

Do you wish to have a larger vocabulary?

If you do, here are two suggestions:

1. Read widely. Do NOT look up every unknown word. After you have read an article, use a good dictionary to look up one or two unknown words that kept appearing in the article.

2. Do what students do in many foreign-language classes:

a. Write a new word on a small card.
b. On the back, write the definition and three sentences that use that word.
c. Whenever you have a few extra minutes, review those cards to see how much you have remembered.
d. Yes, it IS boring. But many necessary things are boring.
e. You could also make a game out of it with your friends. (A person gets one point each time s/he remembers the definition of a word and two points each time s/he can recite one of those three example sentences.)

Remember that even native speakers have two vocabularies: one is all the words that a person uses in conversation and writing; the other is all the words whose meaning a person knows when s/he reads or hears them, even though s/he never uses them in conversation or writing.


Good luck!



James
