Items related to Improve Your Word Power: The Key to a Bigger Vocabulary
By the age of ten most English-speaking children have amassed recognition vocabularies of 20,000 words, but the accumulation of language typically reduces dramatically in adult life. Promoting the value of an expressive and varied use of English, this book presents a series of exercises, introducing less common words, examining nuances of usage and explaining etymologies to help you remember new words and use them in practical situations.

Synopsis:
Do you ever find yourself using a word without fully understanding its meaning? What kind of liar is egregious? Do you have a perspicacious mind? Words are a valuable resource and essential to social and business success, yet often we find ourselves struggling to use them appropriately. Improve Your Word Power is a step-by-step course for improving your language skills. Beginning with a test of your present vocabulary, it goes on to present a series of forty self-study sessions in twelve chapters. Each word is linked to an easy-to-remember example in which it can be used. Further sessions lead you on to etymologies and word-building, and give links to 'families' of associated words. At the end of each session, a test enables you to check your progress. Packed with lively examples and anecdotes of words in action, learning advice, and 'Teaser Questions', Improve Your Word Power is a stimulating and informative means of boosting your language skills.
