Vocabulary Development: SYNONYMS

Increasing your vocabulary will help you understand more of what you read and listen, as well as express yourself better both orally and in writing.

In order to remember new words, it is necessary to read them repeatedly in different texts and contexts. You should also use them often in writing and orally.

A good way to increase your vocabulary is to read as much as you can.

You can use the CONICET  introductory text below (click on the link) to improve your vocabulary:
