A recent university research project investigated the attitudes of postgraduate science students (1) __the learning of English vocabulary. The results were urprising. I'll (2) __three of them.
firstly, most of the stcrdeaats think that (3)__ every word ill English has just one meaning. This is, of course:, completely (4) __-to the facts. A glance at any English dictionary will show this. The student will (5) __find seven or eight meanings listed for (6) __'simple' words.
Whv, then, have these students made such a mistake:' One reason irnay be that they're .ill (7) __students. Scientists try to use words ill their special subject which have one meaning, and one meaning only. Another reason., of course,could be the way in WhiCh these Student, Were They may have used vocabulary lists when they first learner! L:nglish. (M one side of the page is the word in Iaaglish-, on the other sloe, a single \ti'ord in the (Q) native language.
he second attitude that (10) from the findings is equally mistaken. (11) __all the students think that every word in English has an exact (12) __ equivalent. Again, this is far from the trijth. Sometimes one word in Iinglish can only be translated by a (13) __in the student's native languial c. "there are other (l4)__ill translation which we won't mention here.

The third result'of the investigation showed another (17) in the students' thinking. They believe that as soon as they know the meaning of a word, they're in a (18) ____ to use it correctly. This is untrue for any language but is perhaps particularly (19) __for English. The student has to learn when to use a word as well as to know what it means. Some words in English mean almost the same but they can only be used in certain situations.
What, then, is the best way to increase one's vocabulary? This can be answered in three words-observation, (20)__ and repetition.
