The way in which we communicate with others can be greatly improved by building a better vocabulary. In our personal life，we communicate and share experiences with others. However, how well we do it depends on(取决于)our ability to express ourselves through spoken and written language. Luckily，increasing(增加)our word power can make us own the skills we need to communicate better with others and can also help us get better results in our study.
When you see a new word，whether through reading or hearing someone say the word，just be ready to take out your dictionary and look it up-learn about the word and anything that relates(与…相关)to it. If you understand the word, you’ll hopefully remember it well.
Meanwhile, you’d better write down words to learn. You can go through the dictionary，magazine and newspaper or even take down the unknown words you hear. Try to review them every day-look at the words and speak them out loudly. Copy the words over and over again，along with their meanings，and you will surprisingly remember themn in no time.
You can also do word searches，crossword puzzles or other word games. Playing these games，you are more likely to come across new words, and when you are caught in new words, study them. The more words you have in your brain’s word bank，the better you will become at these word games. You will be remembering，learning and having fun，too.
Finally, reading is also believed to be an excellent way to learn new words and build up your vocabulary. Read things you are interested in，because in this way，you are less likely to become bored. But dont skip over(忽略) those words you don’t know. Instead, you should remember and use them in your own daily conversations. Use them more, and you’ll surely have a better chance of remembering them.

During all this time I never stopped thinking about escape. When I traveled across to the other side of the island (岛屿), I could see the other islands, and I said to myself, “Perhaps I can get there with a boat. Perhaps I can get back to England one day.”
So I decided to make myself a boat. I cut down a big tree, and then began to make a long hole (洞) in it. It was hard work, but about six months later, I had a very fine canoe (独木舟). Next, I had to get it down to the sea. How silly I was! Why didn’t I think before I began work? Of course, the canoe was too heavy. I couldn’t move it! I pulled and pushed and tried everything, but it didn’t move. I was very unhappy for a long time after that.
That happened in my fourth year on the island. In my sixth year I did make myself a smaller canoe, but I did not try to escape in it. The boat was too small for a long journey, and I did not want to die at sea. The island was my home now, not my prison, and I was just happy to be alive. A year or two later, I made myself a second canoe on the other side of the island. I also built myself a second house there, and so I had two homes.
My life was still busy from morning to night. There were always things to do or to make. I learnt to make new clothes for myself from the skins of dead animals. They looked very strange, it is true, but they kept me dry in the rain.
I kept food and tools (工具) at both my houses, and also wild goats (山羊). There were many goats on the island, and I made fields with high fences to keep them in. They learnt to take food from me, and soon I had goats’ milk to drink every day. I also worked hard in my corn (玉米) fields. And so many years went by.
