INTRODUCTION

Welcome to VOCABULARY IN CONTEXT!

A well-developed vocabulary pays off in many important

ways. Better-than-average “word power” makes it easier to

understand everything you read and hear—from textbook

assignments to TV news reports or instructions on how to repair

a bicycle. And word power obviously increases your effectiveness

as a communicator. Think about it: As far as other people are

concerned, your ideas are only as convincing as the words you

use to express them. In other words, the vocabulary you use when

you speak or write always significantly adds or detracts from

what you have to say.

VOCABULARY IN CONTEXT was written especially for you .

The program was designed to enrich your personal “word bank”

with many hundreds of high-frequency and challenging words.

There are six thematic books in the series— Everyday Living ,

Workplace and Careers , Science and Technology , Media

and Marketplace , History and Geography , and Music, Art,

and Literature . Each worktext presents topic-related readings

with key terms in context. Follow-up exercises provide a wide

variety of practice activities to help you unlock the meanings of

unfamiliar words. These strategies include the study of

synonyms and antonyms; grammatical word forms; word

roots, prefixes, and suffixes; connotations; and the efficient

use of a dictionary and thesaurus. Thinking skills, such as

drawing conclusions and completing analogies, are included

as reinforcement.

A word of advice: Don’t stop “thinking about words” when

you finish this program. A first-class vocabulary must be

constantly renewed! In order to earn a reputation as a first-

rate communicator, you must incorporate the new words you

learn into your everyday speech and writing.
