  • thnks for yur good effort but I would like if you write just short sentence cos with many we will not remember evrything , thnks
    • Hi Dear Dreamer man !
      Thank you for your attention !
      Could you mind please explain more ? You mean examples ??
    • I meant when you give us a lot of words , we are not able to memorize all , so I said if you could give us just few noun and we try to give example so like that we can memorize better do you agree??
    • I agree with you Dreamer man, Having a lot of new words can be difficult for memorizing. But it depends on the part of the book. Some parts of it have more paragraph than the other and it's clear that we will have more new words. Maybe if we divide the long parts into some parts, we will have the better result and it'll be easier for learning.
      And also I agree about writing examples, as you know, most of the time we have the new word of a part a few days later, So we can try to find new words ourselves in this time and try to give some examples and then when we will have new words we can compare our examples with it.
    • yes sahar that why i meant , thnks for your reply :)
