Problem of mine

  1. when I'm reading some sentences, I discover suddenly that I couldn't figure out what kind of meaning does it means.
    a. analyze result : Grammar is only being used when I'm expressing something after thinking in my brain.
    b. analyze result : However, when I'm reading, grammar isn't a main part of what I'd check.
    c. analyze result : I'm not familliar with common phrases and combinding expressions in use, like a lot less cash.
  2. my accuratcy isn't good
    a. like fashion --> fashionable --> fashionably --> fashionmonger
    b. solution : in new words of every note, I'm just gonna write synonyms and different word classes.
  3. Not familiar with word group or word family
    a. analyze result : I'll append a new sector named necessary sentences which means I have to recite all of them, so that I can speak smoothly or fluently.
