一次去书店的时候看到有一本书很好，就买了回来。但是读的断断续续。这本书很好，主要是告诉人们如何去扩大词汇量。作者是通过小故事讲述后，然后再列上单词，并且把生词逐一的解释一下。这本书的名字叫［NO FEAR VOCABULARY]

  HOW TO TALK ABOUT FAMILY MEMBERS

"  The alarm clock went off at 6:45, the same as it does every weekday. I rolled over and stared at the ceiling for a few moments as the clock kept blaring.

  So this was what eighteen felt like.

  I wiped the crud from my eyes and slammed the snooze button before flopping back into bed. In a few minutes I'd have to get up and get ready for school, but for right now I just wanted to lie in bed and wallow for a bit. Alex Lee, eighteen -year-old. It sounded strange, and I wasn't exactly sure how I felt about it.

  The phone rang just then. Good old Janet, I thought. Wanted to be the first to wish me a happy birthday. I fumbled around for the handset,which had somehow gotten buried under a pile of laundry wadded up at the foot of my bed. 

  "Morning, darling," I mumbled, sleepily.

  "Good morning,Lee," the voice crackled, underlining my last name gooily. " I hear it's your birthday."...

   like everyone else, I have a lot of attributes that make me who I am.

  attribute: (n): a quality,property, or characteristic of somebody or something.

  idiosyncrasy(n): an attribute that makes you different from other people.

  acerbic:(adj):bitter or sharp in tone,taste,or manner

some close synonyms for acerbic are sardonic (adj):disdainfully or ironically mocking, and mordant(adj):sharply sarcastic or bitingly critical.

  总之，感觉可以通过读短篇文章，然后联系生词去学习。。。
