      1. Ask as many questions on the text as possible:

HOW TO USE A DICTIONARY

There are many good English dictionaries. A good dic­tionary, if correctly used, will yield a wealth of information.

When translating, you may find the following suggestions useful:

  • Carefully read the text to be translated.

  • Reread the text and underline unfamiliar words.

  • Make a rough translation.

  • Look up any unfamiliar words and phrases.

  • Remember that the text form of a doubtful word may have to be "converted" into the dictionary form. Small dictionaries exclude certain kinds of words and you need some knowledge of word-formation in the foreign language.

Good luck in studying English!

  1. Learn the poem by heart:

SIX SERVING MEN

Rudyard Kipling

I have six honest serving men.

They taught me all I knew

Their names are What and Why and When

and How and There and Who

I send them over land and sea

I send them East and West

But after they have worked for me

I give them all a rest.
