The #English #language is huge, immense, enormous, titanic, prodigious. (All of these words mean “very large.”) The big, fat unabridged dictionaries have about half a million entry #words.

Language experts estimate that English may have as many as a #million#words if you count #scientific and #technical terms.

And like all living languages, English keeps growing all the time. So how many English words do you know already?

Probably many thousands. But just as you wouldn’t stay with the vocabulary you had when you were two or three years old, you won’t stay with the one you have now.
Your #vocabulary will keep growing as you meet new #words in your reading and hear them in #conversations, on radio, or on TV.
Your vocabulary is directly related to your #success in school. That’s why there are so many vocabulary #questions on state and national standardized tests. #Readers who evaluate your writing on essay tests also focus on your vocabulary, to make sure you use words precisely and correctly.

The Oxford Dictionary of Difficult Words


The #Oxford #Dictionary of Difficult Words presents the words we really need to know, without the added burden of those we never look up. 


The definitions are concise and clear, and are enhanced by sentences and phrases that show the word, or a certain sense of it, used in context







Everyday words we know as well as we know our own names, and we use them as naturally as breathing. 

But what about those thousands of other words that we can't quite commit to memory but that comes up all the time in reading, in meetings, or in the classroom? Words like lucubrate ('discourse learnedly in writing'), demesne ('land attached to a manor'), and cynosure ('a person or thing that is the center of attentionor admiration') hover on the margins of our vocabularies.


We run across such words from time to time, and when we do we may not know quite what they mean, or we simply draw a blank.

Usage notes are there to help make your use of words more precise and powerful.


This dictionary will help you understand words outside your every day "working" vocabulary,words that are too learned, specialized, or highbrow for day-to-day usage. Abundant cross-references help distinguish words that are related ('deism' and 'theism') or opposite ('esoteric' and 'exoteric'). 



The Oxford Dictionary of Difficult Words is a handy-
reference that can be carried with you to enhance your reading and learning experience wherever you go.

Perfecting Your English Pronunciation

If you have picked up this book, it probably does. Every day, millions of business professionals like your report to jobs dreading the possibility of not being understood

This has nothing to do with talent, skill, or advanced knowledge of the subject; it is because you learned precise pronunciation. This is understandable: When learning English as a second language, most students are taught primarily through reading and writing. What many ESOL classes do not emphasize, however, is that English is a nonphonetic language its spelling patterns often seem to have little resemblance to its pronunciation







At best, this is puzzling; at worst, it can cost talented individuals their jobs. Consider the words stop, go, and other; all three are spelled with the letter o, but each is pronounced with a different vowel sound. Thus, while you may be fluent in English—even a master of vocabulary—speaking English clearly and naturally may be difficult. You may also have been influenced by your own ESOL teachers’ less-than-perfect pronunciation skills.

Easy Learning English Spelling

Easy Learning English Spelling




THIS #BOOK from #Collins #Webster’s is #suitable for #everyone who wants to know more about #spelling and who wants to #write more #accurately and #impressively. 

The book uses #simple #explanations, backed up with #examplesdemonstrating each #point, to #describe the #important features of #English#spelling. It also points out the most #difficult #words to spell and offers ways of learning these.



The book begins with a clear explanation of how the #letters and #groups of letters regularly correspond to certain #sounds, and then looks at the #reasons why the spelling of some words does not match the sound. Next, it looks at recurring #patterns and #rulesthat you need to be #familiar with in order to #understand and predict how the #majority of words are spelled.




The last part of the book is concerned with words whose spellings are not easy to predict: it provides some practical #advice on learning tricky spellings and then looks at #tricky words themselves, showing why each can present pitfalls even to experienced users of English.





All of the #hard words that are examined in this book are listed in an #alphabetical index at the end of the book. You can use this index both as a resource for checking the #correct spellings of tricky words and also to point you to the book’s explanations and useful tips for #memorizing many of the words.


English spelling can sometimes appear to be a chaotic affair, with the spellings of words such as choir, colonel, laugh, and yacht having little relation to the way that the words are
pronounced. Yet there are rules and patterns at work in the spelling system, and it is possible to become a good speller by mastering relatively few of these simple rules and patterns.


Collins Webster’s Easy Learning English Spelling is designed to help you with this task, and is a #valuable #resource for all users of English.

1984 By George Orwell


WAR IS PEACE
FREEDOM IS SLAVERY
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH

When #George #Orwell wrote #1984 , the year that gives the #bookits title was still almost 40 years in the #future. Some of the things Orwell imagined that would come to pass were the telescreen, a TV that observes those who are watching it, and a #world consisting of three megastates rather than hundreds of countries. In the #novel , the country of Eastasia apparently consists of China and its satellite nations; Eurasia is the Soviet Union; and Oceania comprises the #United States, the #United Kingdom, and their allies.



In George Orwell's #1984, Winston Smith grapples with abuse in Oceania, a place where the Party examines human activities with ever-attentive Big Brother. Challenging a restriction on independence, Winston sets out to express his musings in a journal and seeks after an association with Julia. These criminal deeds carry Winston into the eye of the restriction, who at that point must change the free thinker. George Orwell's 1984 presented the watchwords for life without flexibility: BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU.
