Start a collection of new and interesting words. Write the words in colored ink on cards of equal size and arrange them in alphabetical order. Try to use the words in your writing or conversation from time to time.
Solution
Here’s a step-by-step guide:
- Gather Materials: Use small, equal-sized cards (index cards work well). Pick a few different coloured pens to make your words stand out. Keep a small box or container to store your cards safely.
- Find New Words:
- Ebullient (adjective): full of energy and excitement
- Zephyr (noun): a gentle, mild breeze
- Serendipity (noun): finding something good without actually looking for it
- Quixotic (adjective): extremely idealistic; unrealistic or impractical
- Luminous (adjective): bright or shining, especially in the dark
- Create Your Cards:
- Write the Word: Use coloured ink to write the word in big, clear letters at the top of the card.
- Add the Definition: Write a simple definition or synonym underneath.
- Use it in a Sentence: Include a short sentence to help you understand how to use it.
- Arrange Alphabetically: Place your cards in alphabetical order to easily find any word when you want to use it.
- Use the Words: Try to use these words in your writing or daily conversations. For example, you might say, “The weather today feels like a soft zephyr,” or write, “Her ebullient personality brightened everyone’s day.”
