4. Learn the Guide to Pronunciation. If you immediately jump into
using the dictionary without understanding the pronunciation guide, it
can be difficult to figure it out.
5. Read the Guide Words. These are the two words at the top of each
page that show the first and last entries on the page. These words will
help you find the word you are looking for in the right letter section.
6. Read the Definitions. Once you find an entry, you can find the exact
meaning of the word, its pronunciation, part of speech, synonyms,
antonyms, and probably its origin.
7. Look for Collocations. Learning the meaning of a single word is
not usually enough. Through sentence examples, try to learn ‘words in
combination’ to expand your vocabulary.

Highlighting

One way to remember what you have read is to highlight
important information. Use these guidelines for highlighting
a text:

- Highlight the main ideas.
- Highlight the key points not minor details or less important
information.
- Highlight phrases and parts of sentences instead of entire
sentences. 2
LESSON
- Do not highlight many sentences or too much of the text.
