alright the first letter letter L stands

for learning the word in context by

reviewing sentences so look at this

graphic that I drew out for you all the

basic idea is you will either look at an

image that has a sentence describing it

or you can actually see a sentence from

a book so again either there is a

sentence describing a certain picture or

there is a sentence that you have seen

in a book it’s important to learn the

word via context now the M stands for

memorizing the dictionary definitions is

part two so what you want to do is go to

the dictionary after you learn the word

in context you go to the dictionary and

you actually memorize the definition of

the word and finally the F stands for

finding three synonyms or similar words

for the vocabulary word now why is this

important you see when you learn

vocabulary

it makes it

easier for your brain to continually use

that vocabulary when you connect it to

other things so like we said before

other images or contexts from a book and

now we have other synonyms other similar

words that’s put this on top right here

so this will help you remember not only

one word but one plus three okay so

let’s see this in an actual example here

we go

remember the first part is l4 learn so

we have an image right here and we’re

gonna learn in context this is the

sentence the platters of food are

sitting on a white marble table now if

we look at this image we can see that

there are different things in the

picture for example we see that there

are garbanzo beans these beans right

here that you see in the picture then we

have an avocado right here we have it

sliced on the picture I love avocado by

the way and then we have curry okay we

have curry right here and finally we

have rice ok the rice right here again

it looks very delicious so we have a

platter of food sitting on a white

marble table remember we’re learning in

context now another sentence is the

image displays a healthy and wholesome

lunch

well again from the first sentence the

word we’re focusing on is platters okay

platters now the next step is to find

the meaning but we’re gonna continue

with the second sentence so looking at

the image again we see ok well rice

provides fiber okay this is something

healthy for you protein can come from

the curry then we can get potassium from

an avocado and we can also get protein

from the garbanzo beans now what’s

happening right now is these are facts

that you already know because you

understand the image you are looking at

ok now in the sentence the word we’re

focusing on is what you guessed it right

here

wholesome

so now what we need to do is we need to

go to our next step and find out the

meaning of platters and also of

wholesome so here we go

the next step is memorized now again our

sentence was the platters of food are

sitting on a white marble table so

platter just means a large flat dish or

plate typically oval or circular in

shape used for serving food now an oval

looks like this okay this is an oval and

of course as you know a circle looks

like this now in our example the

platters were like this in a rectangle

so they don’t always have to be an oval

or a circle they can also be a rectangle

okay now so we’re understanding what the

word means

again you have to memorize a large flat

dish or plate typically oval or circular

in shape used for serving food now some

example sentences that we get from the

dictionary are did you see the huge

platters of cold cuts now real quick

huge just means very big okay very big

I’ve explained that in the previous

video but it just means very big okay

next we have I’ll have the seafood

platter okay and finally we have there

is a fruit platter on the table okay so

what do you noticed you see right here

in front of the word platter we

described what type of food is on the

platter and for here we just described

the size of the platter so again we’ve

seen the definition and we have

memorized it okay now what we need to do

next is look at the second word the

second word was wholesome now the

sentence was the image displays a

healthy and wholesome lunch now remember

we are trying to memorize the definition

so the definition of holes

some is conducive to or suggestive of

good health and physical well-being so

something that is good for your body

that’s what the word wholesome means and

again you have to memorize the

definitions for part two okay now let’s

see some example sentences here we go

the first one is the food is plentiful

and very wholesome now real quick the

word plentiful just means abundant okay

means to be a lot or have a lot okay all

right the second sentence is that

supermarket sells wholesome food okay

again nutritious or good for your

physical well-being and finally children

should only eat wholesome food well we

know that’s important because children

need food that will help their physical

well-being

okay so we’ve memorized the definition

now our next step is to got it

now we need to find three synonyms for

our vocabulary words so our first

vocabulary word again was platter and

our second one was wholesome now we need

to look at the synonyms for the first

word so here we go we’re gonna go down

so our first synonym is dish alright our

second synonym is tray and our third

synonym is plate now again remember a

synonym is just a similar word okay so

we’ll look at some examples and insist

using the synonyms we see right here

let’s change this color real quick a

large dish of food all right so what

happens right here we have dish okay now

we go down a large tray of food and what

happened we replaced dish with the word

tray and finally a large plate of food

and we replaced tray with plate so now

we know a total

four different words because we know

platter and we know dish tray and plate

now on the other side when we bring it

down and we look at the synonyms we have

the first one health full the second one

nourishing and the final one nutritious

for pronunciation sake let me say that

one more time for you all new Tricia’s

okay and again let’s see the sentences

health full meal where do we have it

right here in the center next we have a

nourishing meal all right and we have

the word right here and finally we have

a nutritious meal and again we have the

word right here so we have four words so

we have learned a total of eight

different vocabulary words because we

followed the equation all right let’s

move on to our next example so again

we’re going to learn now we see a

wonderful picture here okay it looks

like somewhere near the ocean or an

island now this is the first sentence we

have again remember we have to learn in

context here we go the waves crash

against the rocks and land to create

what looks like white foam so we see the

land we see the foam right here we see

the waves and we also see the rocks and

the land right here okay now our key

word for this one is crash okay we’re

looking at that vocabulary word learning

it in context okay now our second

sentence is there are many rock

formations in and around the watermen

we’re learning in context so we see rock

formations right here okay now the word

we are focused on is right here

formations so our two words are crash

and formations now we’re learning in

context so you can look at the picture

and

or guess what those words mean now if we

move on to our next screen you see

memorize part two of our equation

alright so the sentence is the waves

crash against the rocks and land to

create what looks like white fun and

again our focus word is crash the word

means to move or cause to move with

force speed and a sudden loud noise so

again your goal is to memorize for this

step and look at the sentences that are

given as examples from the dictionary

here we go huge waves crashed down on us

now again in the previous example we

learned the word huge which just means

very big all right so our second example

is the thunder crashed outside my window

now I’m sure all of you know what

thunder is but just as a reminder when

there is a storm outside usually if it’s

really bad you will hear thunder and

lightning okay so this is a cloud and

from the cloud you may hear thunder and

lightning okay and finally we have the

waves crashed against the boulders now

boulders are just large rocks okay

large rocks so they’re a lot bigger than

the normal size of rock and sometimes

they’re even bigger than a human being

okay we call those boulders all right so

we’ve memorized the definition for the

first word now the second word was for

mation

formation okay here was the sentence

there are many rock formations in and

around the water now looking at the

definition we have the action of forming

or process of being formed in the second

definition a structure or arrangement of

something okay so again

your goal is to memorize this definition

now the first sentence example from the

dictionary is I see a cloud formation in

the sky alright so you’ll notice that in

front of formation we have cloud why

because that’s describing what type of

structure it is in the sky all right and

next we have the soldiers were standing

in formation again this one is speaking

about soldiers being the structure or

form in this sentence okay and finally

we have the scientist studied the rock

formations again the rocks are the

formation that we’re speaking of okay so

we’ve memorized the second words

definition for mation okay all right now

the next thing we need to do is find so

we’re gonna find three synonyms so again

the first word was crash and the second

word was formation so we’re gonna come

down here and look at our synonyms

the first one is smash the second one is

hit and the final one is not okay so

looking at our sentence we have the

rocks smashed against the wall and again

we can even replace this word with

crashed because they have the same

meaning next we have the rocks hit the

wall once again instead of hit we can

say crashed and finally we have the

rocks knocked against the wall we can

change that again to crashed now I want

you all to remember the reason why it is

so important to not only learn one word

but to also learn three extra synonyms

is because this will create connections

inside of your brain which will make it

easier for you to remember the word the

vocabulary word later on when you are

trying to speak in English

okay so these connections are very

important for you as an English Learner

okay all right now for formation we have

these two words right here okay now I

just chose two words for this one for

the synonyms okay we have group and

configuration alright so here’s the

sentence a group of mountains now once

again we can say a formation of

mountains and finally a configuration of

mountains which again can be replaced

with formation of mountains okay all

right now let’s move on to our next

example here we go again we start with

what letter you got it we start off with

the first letter letter L for learn okay

now the sentence we have is the man is

holding his body erect as he sits on the

metal stool so looking at this picture

we can see again this is a man he has a

man bun now this is something that’s

very popular in Europe and also America

so I’m curious to know if it’s popular

in your country as well so yes we can

see that this is a man but he’s grown

his hair long and we call this a man bun

okay this is something interesting for

you guys to know all right so we have

the man sitting here and then we can

also see that he is sitting what seems

to be very straight up okay

he’s sitting in this chair right here

all right it’s called a stool and again

you can see it right here okay so our

sentence describes this part of the

picture and again the word we’re

focusing on is highlighted in white and

it is erect once again he wrecked all

right now the second part of the picture

the second sentence is the woman looks

overjoyed as she talks to her friend so

looking at the picture we can see that

the woman’s facial expression shows that

she is

what you guessed it she looks very very

happy so for this sentence the

vocabulary word is over joyed but again

we’ve learned it in context so when you

think about this picture and how the

woman looks it will bring to mind this

word overjoyed and when you think about

the way this man is sitting at the table

you can think of the word erect all

right so let’s keep going to learn a

little bit more remember memorize okay

so we’re going to memorize the

definition now the sentence was the man

is holding his body erect as he sits on

the metal stool so the word erect means

rigidly or stiff upright or straight

okay so remember you’re gonna memorize

for this step and here are the example

sentences from the dictionary the first

one is she stood erect with her arms by

her sides which means she was standing

very tall next he told his students to

stand erect okay and finally the man was

standing very erect okay so you see the

examples right there now again we want

to memorize the definition at this point

we’ve already learned it in context now

we are memorizing the definition okay

now let’s look at the second word now

the second word was over joyed over

joyed which in the sentence sounds like

this the woman looks overjoyed as she

talks to her friend

now the word overjoyed means to be

extremely pleased and happy

okay extremely pleased and happy now

remember from the picture we saw the

woman looked very what she looked like

she was very happy remember

she was smiling really big as she was

talking to the man okay the woman looked

very happy in the picture okay pleased

or happy all right okay so the first

sentence from the dictionary is they

were overjoyed at his success again so

this person success made them happy all

right

second we have Michael will be overjoyed

to see you

so again seeing you is gonna make him

happy or pleased and finally we have he

was overjoyed to learn that he passed so

learning that he passed made him feel

happy pleased or over joyed all right

now the last part of our equation is s

fine so we have each of the words right

here erect and over joyed remember again

L plus M plus F so let’s find some

synonyms okay so here we go we have two

synonyms for the word erect all right I

just chose two synonyms for this time

okay all right

upright and straight now again remember

I said you can find three but it is

totally up to you you can find two two

three or you can find more it’s up to

you okay all right so the first sentence

is he was standing up right so we have

the word right here and we can say he

was standing erect and we have he was

standing straight so we were placed

upright with the word straight okay all

right now for the word over joyed we

have these words right here we have

ecstatic

now I’m gonna say one more time ecstatic

then we have thrilled and finally we

have elated now again all of these words

mean extremely pleased or happy

okay so the sentence is the fans were

ecstatic again we can change this word

to be over joyed okay next we have the

fans were thrilled once again we can

replace the word with ecstatic or even

with over joyed okay and finally we have

the fans were elated

so because it’s a synonym it can be

replaced by any of these words above

okay all right so again L plus M plus F
