Question: Write a process paragraph about how to memorize vocabulary?

To effectively memorize vocabulary, follow this three-step approach. Begin by immersing

yourself in your targeted language through reading, as this expands your word bank and helps
you understand their context of use. Secondly, maintain a vocabulary notebook, writing down
new words and periodically revisiting them. This repetition helps shift these words from
passive memory to active memory, making them readily available for use in your conversations
and writing. In addition, consider having your siblings, friends, and classmates to further
reinforce the studied vocabulary. In summary, this combination of reading, consistent review,
and implementing them is a well-rounded strategy for helping boost your vocabulary range.
