Are You Rich or Lack of Vocabulary?



Vocabulary is commonly defined as "all the words known". Learning vocabulary is one of the first steps of learning a second language, yet a learner never finishes vocabulary acquisition. Knowing lots of vocabulary can make us study English easily. On the other hand, lacking of vocabulary will make us have difficulties in study English.
As an English department student, vocabulary is very important to improve our skills in. All of my friends, English department students who have been interviewed by me, said that vocabulary is very important for them because it is the basic skill to study English. They cannot study anything when they do not have vocabulary, so that they should have lots vocabularies in their minds. Lacking of vocabulary makes them find difficulties to understand the meaning. For example, one of my friends, an English department student, Rulia said “I was so confused when my lecture spoke to me, I could not listen clearly because I did not understand the meaning of the words she said.” Not only Rulia, but also some of my friends in class, they have difficulties to understand the meaning when they listen someone speaking. Another students , Fifi said “having many vocabularies and understanding the meaning of words can help my writing skill.” Different from Fifi, Fitria has difficulty in speaking. She said that she was lack of vocabulary, sometimes she did not understand the meaning, so she could not speak fluently because she was confused using the words. From those quotations, we know that lacking of vocabulary very influences our English skills to understand the meaning.
Studying English forces us to do many activities which can improve our ability in English. Reading is one of activities that can be done to increase a number of our vocabulary. Moreover, we can find so many new vocabularies. Some of my friends get many difficulties when they join reading class. One of their reasons is lack of vocabulary, so they cannot read properly. After having interviewed some students, I found that 10 from 13 students have difficulties in reading. In other words, 77% of our friends are difficult to read properly, and 23% of them do not have difficulties in reading. From that presentation we know that people who do not able to read properly are bigger. It means that most of them are lack of vocabulary, so that they cannot read properly. As we know in studying interpretive and affective reading, we get so many difficulties understanding of words, especially in diction and fiction. We are never far from our dictionary because there are so many unfamiliar words that we found.
The last effect of lack vocabulary is difficult to speak fluently. Some of English students cannot speak fluently because they do not have many vocabularies, so they still try to remind the words when they are speaking. Vocabulary very influences our speaking skill because when we are speaking we will use so many vocabularies. Our vocabulary can be increased indirectly by communication. When you find new vocabulary, try to use it in your writing or speaking. Brandon Harris in his blog, wrote “A vocabulary usually develops with age, and serves as a useful and fundamental tool for communication and acquiring knowledge. A person's speaking vocabulary is all the words he or she can use in speech. Due to the spontaneous nature of the speaking vocabulary, words are often misused. This misuse – though slight and unintentional – may be compensated by facial expressions, tone of voice, or hand gestures.
 In conclusion, vocabulary is very important. As an English department student, we should increase our vocabulary more and more. Having many vocabularies make study English easily. It is also important to improve our skills in English.

Interesting!
Vocabulary is important for comprehension. Readers can’t understand what they read without knowing what most words mean. The most profitable and enduring manner through which to strengthen vocabulary skills is to teach students to use word structure to determine meaning. https://vocabmonk.com helps to enhance your lexical strength.
