In this blog I'm going to blog about a different kind of book that I'm reading. It doesn't have a story, characters or a typical plot. This is a book about increasing my vocab list and it helps people use more elevated words. It is called, Word Power Made Easy, by Norman Lewis. As we get older, we should be able to communicate our message clearly. As boring as it may seem, it has really helped me grow as a student and a reader. I've started to use more specific and mature words like extroverted instead of 'outgoing'. Philanthropic instead of 'he's a giver'. Anachronistic instead of 'old times'. 

I think this has been seen by my teachers too. Not so much of my math of science teachers but more like my English and Speech & Debate teachers.  On tests I use words that I normally wouldn't use and it's slowly beginning to crawl into what I say. 

     I would definitely recommend this book to any freshmen who would like to increase their vocabulary and just sound smart when speaking to a mature audience.  You can get this book at Barnes and Nobles for around $3 which is unbelievably cheap for something that can result in such an academic growth. Here is the link to the book:  http://www.barnesandnoble.com/listing/2671223929072?r=1&kpid=2671223929072&cm_mmc=GooglePLA-_-Book_5To14-_-Q000000633-_-2671223929072

     I hope you at least give it a try.
