Magic Mantra to Improve Your Vocabulary
Most of the students, often, seem to be in search of some kind of technique, or method which could help them to enhance their vocabulary. It would be surprising for many that I had mastered the whole of Oxford Advance Level Dictionary in 25 years. It was not a magic to know the definitions of about 58000 words. It was the result of extensive reading which brought me to the present stage. It took me nine months to finish my first novel ‘The Idiot’ by Dostoevsky. I had to open the dictionary thousands of times. No regrets, for I was in high school at that time. Having read more than 10,000 books in my lifetime so far, I can say that the magic occurred through the books which I kept on reading indiscriminately.
It would be simply befooling you if I say there is such and such technique or method to improve your memory power. I have been teaching English Literature for more than 20 years, and very often students are amazed to see how easily I allude to Greek mythological figures and quote the lines of the old Masters. I answer them that I have read about them. I hope you understand what I mean to say. Extensive reading is the only Mantra or magic. People sell their products by showing how easily they remember phone numbers or addresses, and many people buy their products. Mechanical methods do not prove to be effective in the long run. My dear, read for about 4or 6 hours in a day for about one year and then see the magic.
