How to Study New Vocabularies

This is my first reading journal. I would like to start with how to study new words. However, I think my method is similar to everyone. As Cynthia said before, I cannot memorize words without using them. So I always try to remember words by using in a daily conversation and making examples or associate something that are related to them. Also I make a set of vocabulary cards, which has the word in front and the meaning at back. Vocabulary is my weakness point. Therefore, building up vocabulary is one of the most important factor to improve my English and TOEFL score.
