What's the best way to improve my vocabulary?
I'd like to impress my english teacher at school by presenting my essay work with an astonishing array of vocabulary. Is there any one best way I should go about doing this, so that I can learn a lot of words in a short time and have them come to mind automatically at my disposal whenever I need them? I mean, so that they come naturally to my head and not unnaturally, as opposed just writing random synonyms that don't really fit the context.
I enjoy reading and have been doing that lots, and that seems to have improved my word power, especially as a youngster when I read favorite tales such as 'Harry Potter' or 'The Lord of the Rings'. I also keep a dictionary at hand so that I can check whenever there's a word I couldn't understand and that has made a significant and rapid impact.
Is there any suggestions you guys can make, or anything you personally found most effective? Thanks!
