Word Clusters: Build a Vocabulary That Works for You
Successful people have good vocabularies. You’ve heard it before, and you’ll hear it again.
But having a good vocabulary means more than knowing lots of words—it means being able to choose and use the word that says exactly what you mean. It means knowing the subtle (and not so subtle) differences among words. A laconic remark is different from a cryptic one. Being frugal isn’t the same as being stingy. A republic isn’t the same as a democracy.
One of the best ways to improve word-choice skills is to learn groups of words related to a core topic, but different in some important way. This book leads you through many important word clusters, then provides a variety of practice exercises for each group. Chapters include:
- People and Their Personalities
- It’s About Time
- About Money
- Health Practitioners
- Words About Words
- A Few Foreign Words and Phrases
