Alas, conjecturisation henchforth into the bowels of space-time physics without the translation facilitation of a Time And Relative Dimension In Space entity as a medium.
O.o i think i'm starting to like u :D |
Of course, Onomatoepeia, Alliteration and Allegorical Anecdotes assist abundantly.
Inquiring into my age? Seeketh thee not the count of winters a fair maiden has endured, lest thy upbringing be brought henchforth into question, kind sir. Many a summer has mine eyes envisaged, numerous still the sorrows of ages past, for I have perceived the passing of more than thrice the span of a decade and my body aches for its rest. |

| OMG every1 here are expert on english and i'm a beginner OMG |
first you need to know that which type of word you want to use
it means that you don't find rare words only but use good words which correspond the meaning of the simple word you were going to use before |
I think ur teacher don't meant to use words which are very very very rare but the words which give a fine quality to your language
for that you can use any online dictionary and type a simple word and and you will also get synonyms to that words
choose any of them suitable and go on! |

My native language is derived from Latin and I found that native English speakers have problems to get my point when I am using English words, but imported from Latin languages. Also, reading books in English taught me that the so-called "advanced" English contains the basic English vocabulary plus imported words. It's exactly the same with French (not my native language) which in its "advanced" form contains a lot of words coming from English (pretty ironic, huh? :D). Technical or archaic words are also rare, so, you may want to include them in your list.
Take care of one aspect here! If you have an American (less chances to have an international) English exam, the adapted Latin words are not so rare (due to their Spanish and some old French influence), while in British English that kind of words is less used than in the American English. In American English using the archaisms is considered to be more elevated English, while in British English the same archaisms are considered more noble than rare.
It's not an expert opinion, but, at least, that I found from my experience with English.

You said it right!
English is also not my native language well the best way to learn it is reading more and more books starting from simple short stories and slowly-slowly to novels or other hard stuff |
| well I just want to know that what is UPSR?? |
| it's just a public exam for 11 to 12 year olds, once they complete their primary schooling. After that, they graduate to high school. |
walalala... I'm not an expert... I just cant classify... There is no 'expert' in my dictionary... I classify words I know by 'Common'--what my teacher tough or 'Advanced' for those that my teacher haven't teach... By the way, I study in a Mandarin school(i'm a Malaysian Chinese). However, the Chinese karangan is the largest problem of mine... my class teacher just teach all my classmates with a bad way-- The teacher reads and we just copy into the fullscape paper... we rarely get to write an essay ourselves... Although I can still get 'A', I wouldn't score too well. I've suggest some better ways to teach us how to write essays but my teacher just don't change a way to(I think she is afraid that if so then our score will be even lower so she never try...)...
If there's a will, there's a way...It is true, but just how long you will take to do/complete it... |
| Thx after getting the links i think i'm gonna close this thread |

Reading books and watching movies in English will help you to understand English better. Writing essays and so on will help you to find your words faster. Speaking with native English speakers will help you to think in English. The last one is the most important.

Thanks! My funniest experience with English was when I took a course for passing the Cambridge First Certificate in English. I remember our teacher giving us a listening with a record of a horse race commentator. We needed to listen that tape for four times to understand what he was speaking about. :D |
