Success in one's personal and professional life is all about communication, and knowing a language better makes it easier to communicate in the most appropriate fashion in any situation that one might come across in one's daily life.Words can create livelihoods. Whether it works directly, if you are a writer or a poet, or if they work indirectly, in facilitating your communication with your colleagues, friends, and family - words grease the wheels of the modern world.Words are also the gateway to upward social mobility. Many people use words in tests of intelligence and of suitability for various jobs; the first thing you do when you move to a new country and are trying to get a job is to learn the local language, in case you don't know it.This book has two sections.The first section has a large number of flash cards, that give you insights into the meanings and parts of speech of a number of useful nouns, verbs, and adjectives. These flash cards can be read from time to time; looking at a flash card 10-20 times has been proven to help people retain the meanings of words better.The second section prepares you for the next book in this series; it has a large number of words categorized into various levels of difficulty of definition. You can guess the meanings of these; this mental exercise will get you ready for the next big step!Mastering the contents of this book will get you closer to that dream job or that coveted college seat.All the best!
